I'm starting to despise 'The Emoji Movie' a lot more now...

So yesterday I tortured myself by watching The Emoji Movie. I thought "maybe people are overhyping it as a terrible movie and it's just mediocre". But no, this movie lives up to the hype, it honestly is one of the worst attempts at making something resembling a movie I've ever seen.

The characters are atrocious and that stupid high five emoji is more annoying than Jar Jar. If I had the money to buy a new tv, I would've thrown my tv out of the window while watching this movie. It's just 2 hours of terrible product placement, they spend 15 minutes literally playing Candy Crush! It felt like a tutorial for Candy Crush. Then we go to YouTube where we see Penpineappleblablabla, we go to spotify, to Just Dance, it's just plain bad.

The characters are also some of the most boring characters I've ever seen. Almost all the characters have only one emotion, because that's the so-called funny joke, and more than half of the jokes are about the fact that the characters say things that don't fit with their emotions. For example mr. Meh talks about very dramatic and serious stuff while talking in a monotone, boring way. What a hilarious joke...

The other jokes are even worse. I feels like they were like 'well this joke is a piece of shit, but how can we make it even worse?'. There were several times in the movie where I cringed so much that I had to mute the sound and laugh/cry at how bad the joke was.

And the ending is also terrible. We end with a dance sequence (3rd time we hear the song Feel This Moment in the movie btw) and the message of the movie is so basic that I couldn't even try to care. It doesn't make it better that every single event in the movie was completely predictable.

This movie shows the worst of filmmaking in beautiful fashion. My rating scale only goes from 1 to 10 so I'll give this one a 1/10, but a 0/10 would represent the quality better. It isn't the #1 worst movie I've ever seen, but it does come close.
