Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to the countdown.
Last time, i've covered the controversial moments of the end of our decade with people pointing out video games with excuses, soo many remakes that we just can't take it so bad and one of our favorite website who faced a consequence and changed the rule that it isn't helping that it might as well be dead in the future.
But when it comes to the movies, its not as crazy as last year, but it was pretty average, with some movies that we loved and also change the world and of course, so much remakes for the money as i said on my previous list.
Last year, i picked eight worst movies that i watched, but this year, i got five of them from disappointment to the worst. So as always, these are my pick that i watched that they made me feel disappointed to feel pissed off in order to get off my chest.
So, this is my "Top 5, worst movies of 2019", lets dive in, shall we?
Number 5: Rocketman
Lets started with the one that lot of people liked this movie, but it didn't work in my opinion.
When it comes to a movie based on the famous British artist, it seems that they wanted to making it a different level unlike "Bohemian Rhapsody". The the good thing about this movie is that it has a nice musical montage what we familiar with, some great acting and the visuals are amazing.
However, my positive died out quickly that even though the songs were great, but i felt that its like an average covers and the singing of Taron Egerton who played Sir Elton John. I mean i know he did a nice work, but its just it doesn't connected well. And some musical moments feels like it plays in Disney style like "Mary Poppins", which i find it to be shameless. And of course, the movie is suffered with inaccurate moments in true stories, like most of songs didn't happened in early days, the concert where Elton plays and few more of them.
Though i will give a credit to have a movie with a very first gay sex scene, which im rather impressed to see, as a supporter of LGBT, but of course, the scene ended up being cut from homophobic censorship outside of US and UK. Especially one country banned the movie for same reason. As always, im so sick of homophobic reaction, this has to change...!
Even though this is the film isn't supposed to be, but il give a credit what they're trying to having a movie based on life of Elton John. And that makes a good reason for why i put this movie in a lower list, though im still sticking to "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Number 4: Dumbo 2019
Tim Burton is always being a filmmaker with his vision something to be impressive since he brought us "A Nightmare before Christmas", "Edward Scissorhand", "Corpse Bride", "Frankenweenie" or even "Ed Wood". But his vision of Dumbo, it isn't work.
For starter, im very impressed that this is a completely different than the original version that you think that this movie will be light-heart, cute and fun for watching, right? Well, probably not.
Though the presentation, the performance of circus and some characters with actors are pretty nice to, it looks bright, colorful and rather entertaining what we see, even we enjoy the reunion between Danny DeVito, Michael Keaton and of course, Tim Burton since "Batman Returns", sadly, Michelle Pfeiffer isn't in this movie.
However, if Burton made something different, it ended feel so bland and heartless to watch. That's the main issue of this movie, its the lack of heart that we wanted to have sympathy for Dumbo, which it only shows in the first act and thats it, the rest of the film is all down from hill for underdeveloped characters and the kids (who're replacing Timothy the mouse) are not only forgettable, but their acting is so emotionless.
Though Burton's Alice in Wonderland is ok (minus the sequel), but his vision just doesn't work for its execution. Otherwise, stick the 1941 version.
Number 3: Star Wars: The rise of Skywalker
*sigh* Poor Star Wars, it feels like everything is fell apart ever since Disney bought Lucasfilms that they wanted to having a new trilogy. While "The Force Awakens" is a welcome return, but everything is going down with "The last Jedi" and then we have this.
Though i know that i heard some people loved this movie, including my dad, since we're a fan of Star Wars, but with this movie, it feels like they wanted to make the last one so hard to having perfect ending like "Avengers Endgame", but ended up badly.
Though some of the characters are welcome return (minus Leia, since they're using a Never-Before-Seen clips of Carrie Fisher in The Force Awakens before her death) and some of new one are not bad, the presentation is impressive with vehicles, weapons, planets (except for some that they're running out of ideas) and of course, the action scenes, because this is Star Wars.
But if they wanted to make a story to have a perfect way to end, why they have so many plotholes to leaving them unanswered? Like, i asked so many question about the force healing, Palpatine's return from the dead, warp speed from planet after planet and few others that im losing my track. It desperately needs to tell us the truth instead of leaving them in the dark., Even though i may like the new characters, but no offense to you all, i felt Rey had a good start from the first of sequel trilogy, but fell apart for underdeveloped a bit, leaving her a semi-Mary Sue, due to her prediction. But of course, don't even give me started with the twists, which again, i won't tell what's happening.
Even though we have a shows that they're good like "The Mandolorian", but "Star Wars: The rise of Skywalker" just comes off as a big pile of disappointment for the execution and so many unanswered questions from plotholes.
Number 2: The Lion King 2019
Welp, Disney has done it again, but even worse than Dumbo 2019...!
This isn't just a bad remake, but this is a Clickbait remake that it has billion dollars at the box office to knocking down Frozen, i mean i was very pissed off when i heard the film so bad that i had to put it higher on the list.
And you wanna know why? Because this film is unoriginal, that why!
Granted, the visual is ok at the time, they wanted to making it as an animated photorealistic with animals to make then look real at the time and the voice acting is good, especially with James Earl Jones, even though its a welcome return to playing as Mufasa, but his voice isn't the same as the original, i mean yeah, i know he's been aged.
But everything is going down of hill very quickly that the story is pretty much the same as we know, but my biggest problem is that copied the same way as the original with the whole "Shot-for-shot", which i was begging myself if they add something new or different, but the answer is like 90% of "No". The songs are ok, but it feels like a cheap cover that we'd rather listening the original, not to mention, during the musical scenes, where are they going, is this Disney remake movie or the opening of Anime??
Not to mention, if we like to feel the characters, but why nearly everyone are emotionless, i mean i know they wanted to focus on realism with being cartoony, but it just makes them like an Animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's.
This film is the final nail of the coffin (unless you counted the remake of "Lady and the Tramp" in Disney+) for their remake, because as we all agree, they love to milking the nostalgia to making billions of dollars in order to make something unoriginal and no effort for their own remake, and if you though "Beauty and The Beast" is a bad a remake, but this one is the icing on the cake of lack of creativity for making a remake film.
I could've easily pick this one as the number one on this list, but it had to drop on Number 2, because at least it was average for the time. Even though this movie is shameless, but its also feels like a Clickbait for the box office.
And now, the number one Worst film of the final decade goes to...!
Number 1: Playmobil The Movie
You know this coming, don't ya?
Lets face it, making movie based on Toys is a no easy ask for not just buy the rights, but also trying to be original and being acknowledge what is all about in the world. One of them is "The Lego Movie", which is kinda risky how movie ended up with, but we're very surprised and happy how it turns out.
However, since "The Lego Movie" got a lotta inspiration to having an adaptation of movie based on toys, why's Playmobil The Movie just came out as a ripoff?
For starter, the animation looks ok, i like the build of the world, the figures design and the colorful quality, but everything going down so fast that we can tell it feels typical like in Colosseum, fairy tale world, futuristic city and few others. And not to mention, the animation of the Playmobil figures isn't like the way they movie, they just move like human being than being limited like any Lego Minifigures do.
But of course, the story feels like it was written by a group teenagers for no originality, no effort and no knowledge what this film is, that's the major issue about this movie, its the lack of identity what Playmobil is all about, but it also have a very bad joke that it barely make us laugh and the songs are absolutely unnecessary and cliche for how we feel for the characters. Speaking of the characters, they're not nearly a ripoff from either Emmett or Lego's Batman, they're pretty obnoxious and underdeveloped that we feel careless for them, especially the main twins.
By the end of the day, this is not only shameless, but it doesn't feel like a movie, its an advertisement that makes you wanna buy the toys. In The Lego Movie, it has a very good meaning what's all about, building the world whatever we like to, but this movie means "Buy your Shit!". I mean i thought "Arctic Dogs" is a very bad film that im glad i never watching, but made me feel regretful to waste my time or my money to see this,
Not only this film is a complete ripoff, but this film is a good reason why i picked this as a Number One worst movie of 2019 i've ever saw...!
Got any other worst films on my list, let me know in the comment bellow.
So this ends of my countdown, but til next time, il go to the opposite direction to do the best films on my list.
Thanks for reading and im Anthony, signing out.
