Top 10 Most Disappointing Movies of 2024

[@tmarie69]

You cannot convince me that Todd Phillips didn’t pocket some of that movie’s budget. That movie costing $200 million is nuts.

[@politefan8141]

Seriously, the whole took place in just two locations.

[@frozenpizzaking]

@@tmarie69 with one small explosion

[@squattingnevil]

Of course he pocketed some of the budget. He got paid........to direct the movie..........with money...........from the budget. That's how movie budgets work.

[@KZ66100]

Yeah, but that money went in his FRONT pocket. A dollar or two also went in the back pocket. On the sly. 👀

[@zackyyyy007]

Crazy how the first joker only cost 50 million

[@Sammy2tones]

I thought Smile 2 was great. One of the best horrors of the year. And I’d say it’s on par or maybe even better than the first. I’m pumped for the 3rd installment and looking forward to anything Parker Finn puts out going forward.

[@TheOneTheyCallFrost]

I loved Smile 2. I'm so surprised with how divisive it seems to be on the internet.

[@montyhux9757]

Me too. I thought the first was meh. 2 got me fully on board for the rest of the franchise.

[@frozenpizzaking]

The ending of Smile 2 is very predictable, but the journey of how they got there made it worth it to me

[@samueljean-jr3464]

I saw that ending coming the moment they mentioned the protagonist would be a pop star. What disappointed me was the rug pull done at the last 30 minutes past the rehab center scene. The jump scares and illusions were also too predictable and meaningless. I'm actually intrigued however for where they're going with the 3rd film.

[@politefan8141]

It felt more like a swerve to me. I liked where the film was going up until we got to the concert.

[@ArizonanSummer]

It is such a great but obvious ending. The third act was controversial but I felt great as an audience member when I found out that the movie got to have its cake and eat it too

[@izzyjoshuadavis]

I feel like it's a predictable film but it was a fun film.

[@TheODLawson23]

Smile 2 was great until it ruined the ending. Smile 2 should've had a new formula for the ending instead of the same ending from the first movie. If Skye Riley defeated the demon in the freezer at the end, it would've been great and that would make people satisfy.

[@Nostalgia_girl2248]

Saw smile 2 in the theatre and I thought it was better than the first movie. It really brought out the whole purpose of the smile demon it gives you false hope and then pulls from under the rug. We even got insight on how to weaken the demon and I think if skye had listened to Morris in the beginning it may have worked. Movie blew my mind too.

[@Quest4Horror]

Best horror film of 2024 for me.

[@jcaashby3]

[@andrewflor8002]

Same. 🫠

[@michaelkendall1263]

It was all the same scares as the first one it felt like

[@politefan8141]

It's weird that it's getting the best reviews from people who are not a fan of horror movies. I would've enjoyed it more than the first had it not been for that twist ending.

[@BoxingFan4Life]

@@andrewflor8002. Yea it was fantastic

[@ericmorrow4040]

Almost an exact copy and paste of the first movie with a terrible twist at the end that ruined the movie for me and made the last 30 minutes pointless

[@thegonefshn5752]

I can't believe you said the sentence. "It was so simple it felt like, There is no way M. Night could Fuck it up." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Toki_Towa]

Agree with Trap being incredibly disappointing. The premise they gave in the trailers was so good, but that ended up not being the movie. Josh Hartnett was great, but the way focus shifted to making Shyamalans daughter the main character partway through was terrible. I feel like a lot of the nosensical things that happen in the movie are specifically done to keep the focus on her. There is no reason for her character to be in the movie outside of performing at the concert, and yet she's the main focus.

[@Terelon]

Yep, the movie was basically to showcase M. Knight's daughter's vocal skills

[@bobross1829]

agree. Making her basically the superhero that saves everyone was very eye-rolling and smacked of nepotism. He wanted to make his daughter a star. Now there is nothing wrong with that if she does it herself, but the whole movie was just twisted to do so. It was like what Will Smith tried in After Earth.

[@R8RSnCeltics]

Most mknight shamwan movies are bad, so I never have expectations for his movie, so the trap was actually a pleasant surprise for me that it was pretty decent

[@liampatrick3110]

Actually, she did have reason to be in the movie outside of the concert: (SPOILER) After the antagonist invites her to his family's house, she turns him into the police through a live video. This leads him to kidnap her in the limbo they arrived in. But luckily, she manages to escape; so basically, she was a PLOT-DEVICE.

[@steveulinski98]

He made this movie just so his daughter can launch her music career...and failed.

[@AlexReeder-fz9lj]

Its like M Night watched Dexter and said let me do that but make him completly stupid

[@AlienDrone_22]

I loved the Smile 2 theater experience. After not seeing a movie in theaters for at least 5 months, I really had a blast with it. For sure the ending was written on the wall from the get go, but the journey was fun and the lead actress was great. You may like it more on a later rewatch. Thank you for the video Cody, your uploads are always a welcome sight!! Happy New Year and I wish your family the best. 🌺

[@darkridergames1707]

I honestly loved Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. It was actually my favorite movie of the year. While yeah, the writing was messy, i wasn’t really bothered by it. I personally don’t go to a movie for story or writing, I mainly just go for entertainment value, and that’s what this movie delivered in spades. As I see it, the Beetlejuice movies aren’t meant to really be story-driven. They’re just meant to be fun visual spectacles. And that’s what they deliver on.

[@holykicks6121]

I still liked it and think it’s an easy movie to rewatch but 100 percent with one less plot line the movie would’ve been better. It could’ve easily been a perfect beetlejuice sequel

[@darkridergames1707]

@ yeah that’s fair. I get where you’re coming from there. I’m just saying that the overwhelming number of plot lines didn’t really bother me.

[@politefan8141]

I was on a high when I left the theater but I came down once I started zeroing in on its flaws. The movie could have been great had they just done another rewrite.

[@mikemike9438]

Not as good as the OG. They almost never are.

[@darkridergames1707]

@@politefan8141 Yeah I get that. The flaws just personally didn't bother me. As I said in my original comment, I go to a movie for entertainment, not really for writing or story. And that's exactly what I got with the movie. It was fun enough for me to look past the flaws.

[@evanthompson4186]

I think In a Violent Nature could benefit by giving the killer a backing character like Jason and Mrs. Vorhees and you could have that person speak to the killer throughout in his mind. It would give exposition and give something more interesting than just soundscapes.

[@oliversedgwick7236]

Definitely, everyone was so anonymous in that. You couldn't connect to the silent killer with almost 0 backstory/purpose, and we barely spent any time with the victims so it didn't really matter when people who mostly didn't even have names for more than 3mins were picked off.

[@evanthompson4186]

@oliversedgwick7236 yeah i think a backstory for the killer and like I said another I guess you'd say protagonist that is the driving force behind the killer would help. It'd help make your silent killer not silent and give some meaning to what is happening.

[@playedout148]

I think that movie was a just a way for the director to troll horror fans. It's violent! It's in nature! It's in a violent nature!

[@politefan8141]

I thought the woman in the truck (played by a Friday the 13th actress) would've been revealed as the mom. I was so sure of it that by the end I was completely baffled when it cut to black.

[@izzyjoshuadavis]

It was a boring movie. It could have been much better. And it could have cut like 30 minutes out of the film. 😂 I was disappointed with it.

[@Enw222]

My #1 most disappointment of 2024 was Longlegs, and it’s not even close. I WAY overhyped myself for this one and beyond that super creepy opening scene, the rest of the movie could not have been further off the mark for me.

[@InfantGoose6565]

@Enw222 This is actually a great shout, movie wasn't scary at all and Longlegs doesn't look that creepy.

[@Enw222]

@ exactly, and funnily enough I can’t hardly remember much of the movie except how exceptionally let down I was after the end. One thing is for sure, I won’t be giving that one another watch.

But Joker 2, yeah, he's the clown prince of crime, not the clown prince of dancing and singing. The ending, yeah, I can pretend this movie doesn't exist because i ADORE that first joker movie as a JOKER MOVIE, but it does.

[@TheAdam1995]

My most disappointing film of the year is The Wild Robot. The first trailer promised that the film would be more bold and unique compared to other mainstream animated releases, but instead, the final product was just another generic family comedy. It was such an irritating and lazy experience that the more I thought about it, the more I disliked it. It was one of the most overhyped films ever made, and I'll never understand why everybody keeps hailing it as a masterpiece. Bullshit. Maybe the book it's based on is better, I don't know, but I'm sorry, that film was just overrated fodder.

Hey Cody! Do you think you could do movie reviews for both The Gentlemen and Wrath of Man? I can see you doing really interesting reviews for them!

[@Quetza_14D]

I feel like smile 2s ending could have been more bleak and dark if they would have kept everything from, when she was in the rehab center to the very end of the movie, as “real” because I thought she was going to be on stage beat up and bloody and the whole crowd was going to be in shock with what just happened to her only to then off herself in front of them. I think they played to much on the psychological aspect of the entity and just made me wonder so all the events that transpired throughout the film never happened so was she literally just doing rehearsals without knowing?

[@alexcurry9388]

Cody!! How about a tier list of summer themed movies?! Beaches, comedy, shark attacks, drama/comedys, feel good, THE WORKS!! I’m asking now that you’d have some time between now and the summer. Check out “The Way Way Back”! It’s an extremely underrated independent film. HUGE summer vibes

[@hoops8663]

Felt the same for the 4:30 movie because people kept saying it was his best movie in years. Naw, Clerks 3 holds that spot to me because the topic is personal.

[@skyofthelivingdead]

See, I’m a OG Clerks fan who actually appreciates Clerks 3. It’s not perfect, but I get what Kevin Smith was trying to do. I will say, the fight between Dante and Randall, followed by Dante’s monologue is genuinely heartbreaking and incredible acting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fanbase so divided over a movie.

Regarding The Bikeriders, Jodie’s accent is almost identical to the real Kathy. They had hours of tape interviewing the real life people from the film. If you listen to real Kathy, Jodie did an amazing job. However, it definitely can be grating. Like you said Jodie was too good.

[@christopherhurley1669]

Trap was among my 2nd or 3rd fav movie of last year. For me Longlegs was easily the biggest disappointment, especially after a brilliant marketing campaign that got me into the theater to see it. Came off as more of a refried Silence of the Lambs wannabe with Nic Cage doing a Tiny Tim impression. Lame. Also wasn't crazy about In A Violent Nature. You can almost hear Joe Bob Briggs now describing it as 'plenty of walking-fu' or the MST3K guys going "dum-dee-dum, dum-dee-dum" (ala Robot Monster) during the extensive walking scenes.

[@rosco-m]

[@bobross1829]

The biggest ones were also for me the Joker sequel and Trapped. The Joker II was basically a middle finger to the entire audience and I have never seen a movie do that, especially when the first one made a billion and won Oscars. I never seen people who made and were in a movie so embarrassed about being in a movie that did that well. It was a real eye opener how much politics rule Hollywood. The wrong type of people liked Joker, so they intentionally burned their own movie down. Trapped main problem was nepotism and the director wanting to make his daughter a star. (mild spoiler) Until he gets out of the arena, this was at least plausible as the killer was playing on people's sympathies and using his daughter. But after that, it became Shyamalan's daughter's movie and she became the hero who defeats that bad guy and saves everyone. It was eye rolling and just ruined the entire movie. It was not even like she was bad in the role, it was entirely the sudden superboss girl plot it turned into.

Smile 2 is probably my favorite of the year after The Substance and yet, it’s also by far the most mentally exhausting movie I’ve seen this year. I understand that was the intention and give all respect to Parker Finn for his ability to make you feel WITH his characters (as well as Naomi Scott’s incredible performance), but it’s not super rewatchable for that exact same reason.

[@tanyabrown3456]

I agree with you about Trap wholeheartedly. I was hoping for a great thriller but that wasn't it. It lacked suspense and believability. Also I thought that I was the only one who liked the first Smile better than the second. Smile 2 was way too long and I would have loved to have more Kyle. I did watch him in Strange Darling. I had issues with the third act but liked it overall. And I think that it was you who recommended The Passenger, which I watched last year and enjoyed.

[@monobro141]

​@@jamesjimbob71I DON'T know like one time this week I said FNAF Security Breach was rushed and FNAF needed a reboot and I got attacked just because people like Steel Wool

I will not watch Joker 2, ever. I do not want the first one destroyed so I've stayed away from any kind of plot line or spoiler reviews to keep it pure even though I can guess by the trailer where it went. I'm glad Cody took one for the team because his initial review was crucial to my avoidance. I was set to go opening weekend and then hit the brakes hard.

I feel like Smile 2 was a good film but I already knew coming into it that it was going to be predictable. They would have to do a lot story wise to surprise me. That being said I was shocked to see this on your list. 😂

[@AmeliaThornhill-tz7ot]

The way Cody felt about Smile 2 with it being overhyped and just feeling like its just ok is how i felt about Longlegs. It underwelmed me. It has its moments and a few solid performances but i generally felt bored alot of the time and the ending didn't hit for me the way it did for others. I'm gonna rewatch it soon but right now it's a sold 6.5/7 out of 10

[@frankg7574]

disagree on smile 2 - I think it was better than the first

[@megamanmg2588]

Some of the things you said about Trap could have been explained if it was revealed to be in the Unbreakable universe. Which I was really hoping for by the end of the film and it never came... 😞

[@rodriguez1025]

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire might be the most disapponting movie of 2023. It really tried to do too much and didn’t serve anything in it well. Also, it’s the movie that’s soured me on nostalgia as a narrative tool.

You took the literal words right out of my mouth about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice! 😂 the plot line with that boy & Jenna Ortega character...my boyfriend & i looked at each other after it was resolved & said "wow..that got solved quicker than I thought" 😂 waaaay too much going on with that movie & I feel terrible that is was kind of a flop. And that intro for Beetlejuice's ex was fire! I perked right up watching that & her plot was like wah-wahmp by the end. So disappointing!

5. Trap 4. Argylle 3. Joker: Folie a Deux 2. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare 1. Heretic

[@chyannaturner9110]

Been waiting for this video!!!!!

[@nickm8099]

Finally, somebody pronounced Joker Folie a Deux correctly😂

[@richchappell]

Hm, I've never put much thought into this category, but I'll give it a shot: Argylle; Hit Man; I Saw the TV Glow; Maxxxine; The Strangers; Twisters; Werewolves. Argylle was fine for the first 2 acts, but they lost me with 2 things... ice skating on CG oil, and the idea that there's a place in the heart where you can shoot someone and they will be completely fine in a matter of minutes. If you're going to have a character skate on oil, go back to 2002 and watch The Transporter. Take notes. Hit Man was just not as funny or interesting as I expected from Glen Powell. I Saw the TV Glow ended just as I was expecting the 3rd act to start. Maxxxine was okay, but I just didn't think any part of it was scary. I absolutely hated the protagonists in The Strangers, and rooted for the killers the whole time. Twisters was... unnecessary, and so was the extra money I spent to see it in IMAX. Werewolves seemed like it would be a fun bad movie, but it wasn't fun. The editing of that movie was the worst I've seen in decades.

If it wasn't for M. Night Shyamalan making the movie Trap centered around his daughter as a market to launch her career and more on the elements behind Josh Hartnett's character, it wouldve been better. It was a total bait and switch, sellout of a movie. I loved The Bikeriders yet the ending pissed me off due to it's predictability. Smile 2 I enjoyed yet was terrifed at a lot of moments in the movie but the ending threw me a curveball. Ghostbusters Frozen Empire I enjoyed too.

I notice that the craziest years is every election year. 2028 is about to be lit.

[@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137]

I noticed a pattern like every 4 years there is always a big event like in the year 2016 we got trump elected and everyone going on a meltdown, then 2020 we got Corona virus, and 2024 we got a shit ton of stuff like trump getting reelected and people also went on a melt down, so 2028 is gonna be insane lol

[@Cuke-yx5td]

I thought the cops and employees knew from the beginning that Josh Harnet was the killer and they were toying with him before they captured him. That concept would have way more interesting.

[@kellyaustin7487]

Smile 2 and In a violent nature were both awesome. Smile 1 was meh 😕

[@tombruncker7013]

I personally really liked Bad Boys Ride or Die, it’s not the best Bad Boys film but I still liked

[@MovieFanZ89]

My three biggest problems with trap were: the acting was just OK, it seemed very convenient with all the different twists and turns, and the main twist was kind of weak

[@antonioortizburciaga1158]

After Joker 2 and Matrix Resurrections, it's funny that Warner Bros get so many "I HATE WORKING HERE AND I HATE MAKING THIS" movies done.

[@DMitch-ny3jb]

Smile 2 disappointed the hell out of me! Guess I’m not seein what everyone else sees! Upon rewatch Beetlejuice 2 kinda was disappointing too!

[@themarvelanddcmarshlands]

Honestly, take this base concept, make Trap a horror based Mystique X-Men movie and it gets SOOOOO much better
