Unveiling the Abysmal: The 2024 Movie Debacles

10. 'A Complete Unknown'

The audacity to label this as a film is truly astonishing. It feels like a never-ending cycle of imitators crooning away for two long hours. There is no substance or originality to be found here. It's a waste of time and energy.

Just imagine sitting through this without a glimmer of entertainment. It's a cinematic disappointment that leaves one longing for something better.

9. 'Nightbitch'

When the transformation into a dog occurred, the thought of devouring that trifling husband seemed like a logical choice. But instead, we were subjected to a story that didn't quite live up to its potential. The concept had promise, but the execution fell flat.

This movie had the chance to be something special, but it ended up being a letdown. It's a reminder that not all ideas translate well onto the silver screen.

8. 'Hot Frosty'

For those with a penchant for hunky himbo snowmen, this might be a four-star delight. However, for the rest of us, it's a movie that leaves us cold. The charm simply doesn't translate for a wider audience.

It's a case of personal taste clashing with the overall quality of the film. Some will find it endearing, while others will be left scratching their heads.

7. 'Tuesday'

Death as a rapping parrot with a reefer problem? This is an embarrassing fable that stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus. It's hard to take seriously when the concept is so outlandish.

The portrayal of death in this movie is so absurd that it makes one question the entire premise. It's a strange and unappealing viewing experience.

6. 'Night Swim'

The idea that getting into the pool will lead to a life-threatening situation is a bit far-fetched. Yet, people keep doing it, as if drawn by some strange force. And even I, with my open-mindedness, couldn't buy into this one.

It's a movie that plays on our fears but fails to deliver a truly thrilling story. It's a missed opportunity.

5. 'Here'

The reunion of "Forrest Gump" stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, along with director Robert Zemeckis, should have been a cinematic event. Instead, it left us screaming for them to run away from this movie.

The chemistry between the actors was there, but the script and direction let them down. It's a reminder that even the best of teams can produce a dud.

4. 'Joker: Folie à Deux'

Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix gave it their all, but they couldn't salvage this court drama, musical, and DC comics movie mash-up. It's a chaotic mess that fails to live up to the hype.

The combination of these two talented actors couldn't overcome the flaws in the story and execution. It's a disappointment for fans of both genres.

3. 'Megalopolis'

Jon Voight is the saving grace in Francis Ford Coppola's $120 million hot mess. Without him, this movie would be a complete disaster. But even with his presence, it's a challenging watch that requires a lot of patience and Coppola's wine.

The scale and ambition of the movie are evident, but the execution falls short. It's a reminder that money doesn't always guarantee a great film.

2. 'Reagan'

Dennis Quaid takes on the role of the president ordained by God (according to the movie), but it's the faux-Russian-accented Voight that steals the show in the worst way possible. The acting is over-the-top and distracting.

This movie tries to make a statement but ends up being more of a spectacle than a serious exploration of its subject. It's a missed opportunity for a more nuanced portrayal.

1. 'Argylle'

Apple's $200 million investment in this atrocious spy caper is a testament to the power of marketing. Starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, and a cat that should fire its agent, this movie is a disaster from start to finish.

The story is convoluted, the acting is lackluster, and the overall production value is subpar. It's a prime example of a movie that should have been left on the cutting room floor.
