The Emoji Movie - 2017

A fucking zero.

The lowest rated animated movie on the site.

The reviews are fucking brutal.

Excuse me while I scan my phone for the vomit emoji.

Hear that? It's the end of the world.

There were ways that The Emoji Movie could have been [...] smart and satisfying, but the filmmakers just didn't find them. Maybe they weren't even looking.

It is one of the darkest, most dismaying films I have ever seen, much less one ostensibly made for children.

The Emoji Movie is almost as bad and brutally depressing as everything else in 2017.

Lacks humor, wit, ideas, visual style, compelling performances, a point of view or any other distinguishing characteristic that would make it anything but a complete waste of your time.

Should be noted all the above reviews are from serious reviewers, not random people.

What I'm reading. "Puppy" Genndy Tartakovsky short is great and better than the movie it's attached to.

It still hurts Sony cancelled Genndy Tartakovsky Popeye movie in favor of The Emoji Movie.

Dat animation.

I want this.

Sony why you gotta be a bunch of fuck tards. Didn't getting hacked teach you anything.

[Wadski]

Why was this movie made.......... i feel dumber for just looking at it on rotten tomatoes lol

[Krandor]

Because Sony wants money and seems convinced this will get them said money.

[Wadski]

Very true

[Zetanio]

It'll still make money. Kids are fucking idiots.

[Wadski]

idk...

“The Emoji Movie” is a demonstration of artistic abdication at its most venal, but will the kids like it? To that question, I offer this observation. This past weekend, I played ersatz uncle by taking two adorable girls of my acquaintance—10-year-old Mamie and 4-year-old Danger (actually, that is her middle name and I swear I am not joking)—to see Hayao Miyazaki’s 1989 favorite “Kiki’s Delivery Service” on the big screen in a nearly-full theater that contained a lot of families with small children. The kids didn’t know they were seeing a masterpiece but were so caught up in the story and the gorgeous visuals that you could hear a pin drop in the auditorium. By comparison, at the screening of “The Emoji Movie” I attended, there were plenty of kids but judging by the shifting in seats, rustling of candy bags and the lack of laughter, they did not seem to be into it at all. “The Emoji Movie” may be as depressing of a film experience as anything to come out this year but if the reaction of the kids that I saw it with is any indication, there may be hope for the future after all.

That said audience score is 45% right now so

At least now all of the stupid posters plastered alllllll over Los Angeles and on every single bus stop can be removed. It hurt my brain everytime I had to look at them.

I am curious how it is so dark and depressing though.

What i'm more curious about is how it managed to attract the level of talent it had. TJ Miller, Patrick Stewart just off the top of my head. Sony must have some russiagate level blackmail on them.

Probably a lot of money for just voice acting.

This.

Fandango has dropped the price of tickets for the film by $5.

[dasva]

, Patrick Stewart .

They told him he could play a literal piece of shit and was too excited to realize the movie was a steaming pile as well

[Krandor]

Patrick Stewart does a lot of stupid roles, especially for voice acting.
