Worst Movies of 2017

The movies presented in this list represent the most underfunded, overfunded, disgusting, and/or most uninspired pieces of cinematic trash released in theatres at some point in 2017.
The Top Ten
1 The Emoji Movie

How to make (The emoji movie)

1: Animate the film using earwax and toe jam.
2: Don't even write a script and have the voice actors say whatever comes to mind while the characters randomly move their mouths.
3: Make every character look like something from your worst nightmare.
4: Have each person be either annoying or unlikable so the audience hates it more.
5: Motion control is great for CGI films, how about Xbox Kinect for the arm movement.
6: Speaking of movement, do it a lot, even if it means waving your arms in the air every time you speak or spinning around for no reason.
7: Show that you aren't scared to pass the boundaries and add sexual innuendos to every scene.
8: Barricade your house, stock on food and water and try to prepare your for a lot of hate mail and a few death threats
Viola! You've done a terrible job. In fact, it sounds like an angry mob is coming to your doorsteps right now. I'd run if I were you and get the hell out of this country.

2 Fifty Shades Darker

After the first movie, the acting, direction, everything about that movie was awful, no way would I spend money another movie concerning the trilogy. Looks like I was right

I don't understand some of this list. The Emoji Movie was AMAZING. Take it off the list.

This piece of trash, however, shouldn't. THIS should be 1. Not 80 minutes of advertisments.

I enjoy leaving the theater with the taste of popcorn and candy, not with the taste of vomit and sadness.

3 Transformers: The Last Knight

I would vote for other much more deserving contenders, but those ones are overfilled, but this certain movie deserves to be at this very spot. I was baffled when I watched this film, everything from the overstretched but rushed plot, weak humor, bland characters (they couldn't even get a split-personality British robotic BUTLER to be exciting, what the hell.), a wasted, but talented cast ( such as Anthony Hopkins and Mark Wahlberg) and undeveloped pacing. I will give credit where it's due, Michael Bay sports dazzling visuals, a dramatic soundtrack and various chase/action/fight scenes that'll leave you satisfied for a few minutes.It is not the worst, I can give you that. But it is horrendously mediocre, maybe even awful.

Just full of dull crap, explosions, anti-awesomeness, and everything that makes it look like a Jacob Sartorious movie. This movie is a rotten apple.

I'm quiet surprised they're making another 2 movies but Michael Bay will not direct those two so let's see how it goes

4 Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul

This is the worst movie of 2017 that I watched, no joke. It defecates on the original film trilogy. I watched it in the theaters and boy, it was a big mistake. The characters were flanderized beyond belief. Greg is now an idiot. Rodrick is even dumber than the original trilogy counterpart. Susan is now a Karen who bashes modern technology. Frank is just boring. And once again, Manny is the same as his book counterpart. This is not the Heffleys we all know and love. These are the Anti-Heffleys. And the story is basically every family road trip movie cliche in the book. Tons of gross-out humor as well. I swear, Rodrick vomiting on the spinning ride at the country fair made me ditch my popcorn and made me rush to a nearby toilet. I should have never looked.

A big insult to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film franchise and I hope the license for this film gets revoked ASAP. It literally has all 3 aspects of a terrible comedy movie: bad characterization, lack of real humor and moments to make people cringe. In two words, this film is an: EPIC FAIL! It received negative criticism, thanks to the new cast. Jason Drucker, unlike Zachary Gordon from the last 3 DOAWK films, is so whiny and his behavior is cruel. The beloved Devon Bostick is gone; Charlie Wright, the new actor who played Rodrick Heffley, did a horrible job acting and played the Rodrick whose character resembles nothing but that of a bossy egomaniac. In contrast to Rachael Harris who played the thoughtful and funny Mrs. Heffley, Alicia Silverstone plays the Susan Heffley whose character is more toxic and overbearing. Steve Zahn was so funny in the previous 3 DOAWK films and this actor who played Frank Heffley always cared about his son; however, Tom Everett Scott plays the Frank Heffley who is now an incredibly lackluster father. A little piece of advice for the future: PLEASE, PLEASE stop making movies just for money grabs and even better, STOP making films that have an endorsement of disrespectful behavior. Rodrick and Greg are disrespectful to their parents and always call them cruel names. 0/10 infinity :(

5 The Boss Baby

The baby looks like Trump and the little kid looks like Jimmy Neutron.

Not too bad of a movie but I caught so many innuendos. Like the part at the start it said "how are babies made" then showed the baby machine which looked like a girls legs at first.

As much as I like Dreamworks (on Pokemon Moon, I named my male Primarina Stephano, after the Italian Sea Lion in Madagascar 3), this is where they ran out of ideas. It's about a mature infant (because we haven't heard that before *cough* Family Guy *cough*) who works as a spy and is trying to prove that babies are cuter than puppies with the help of a young child. That premise makes no sense, and I do not plan on seeing it.

Great... this got nominated for Best Animated Feature Film at the 90th Academy Awards. Really, Oscars? Really? I can name more than 10 animated films right off the top of my head that weren't nominated and deserve to be nominated more than The Boss Baby.

I am a pup lover, but I like this movie despite being offended somehow. The visuals are amazing, the plot/concept was just weird but it's enjoyable, the characters are likeable to me not like everyone else, and more.

6 The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature

A Bug's Life 2, a sequel a 1998 film, doesn't exist...
Ratatouille 2, a sequel to a 2007 film, doesn't exist...
The Nut Job 2, a sequel to a 2014 film, exists...
What the blazin' hecc? Don't make sequels this early... PLEASE! Especially if the first movie is really hated by people.
The idea wiki had a made-up third one for 2020, which hopefully NEVER happens.

Computer Animated movies are horrible now. Every modern one is pointless, with a pointless cast, plot, cheesy jokes, toilet humor, and downright annoying characters. Whatever happened to Shrek, Madagascar, Finding Nemo, or Toy Story?

Did an already bad movie needed a sequel? I mean, this is just as bad as the first one. Look at the mouse, that is a rip-off of Pinky from Animaniacs.

7 Baywatch

Why is Detroit number 21? That movie was acclaimed, and is one of the best of the year. Baywatch is easily top 3 worst.

Another pointless Hollywood remake that didn't need to happen.

It bombed the box office as much as Rough Night & The Mummy did.

8 Justice League

This movie was just laughable..no not even. This movie was just bad. Like 1/5 type bad. Horrible trash. The movie had so many awkward moments that made me cringe (such as the actor of Flash trying to be funny). This was supposed to be DC's Avengers, but all of the plots and background stories about the characters were rushed by because the editors wanted to put a bunch of mind numbing CGI in the movie. You don't have any emotional attachments to any of the characters and the fight scenes did not pack any punch, because all of it was bland CGI. I give this movie a 1/5 and it should be on the top 10.

Better than suicide squad but BvS was like 3 times better than this. This movie is really bad, like laughably bad. The villain is just bland, it's just a cgi monster that smashes things. There are a lot of story conveniences like the scene when Bruce meets Aquaman and there's a drawing on the wall that explains everything, the action sequences and visuals are lame. The narrative is exactly the same as the avengers. The characters that are introduced do not have development. The score and sountrack are forgettable, pure remixes and non interesting music. I don't also like the choice of color that they put on this film, I don't know, it just... doesn't fit. The worst thing is the cgi on superman's face and the fact that he revives and he ends all by himself, endind the movie in an awful way.

Holy GOD.

After Wonder Woman, THIS is what they come back with?

An incomprehensible mess of atrocious CGI and visual effects as well as a narrative that makes it seem like they haven't learned all that much from their past mistakes. 3/10

Garbage. Absolutely cliché. Plus the new version of the flash is a total piss bag and very annoying. Superman should have stayed dead since there is no point for the other characters since superman can do everything. DC should try a little harder to make their story lines more realistic. Overall, the movie was a overrated cliché that was grossly predictable.

9 The Mummy

I would like them to stop ruining classics with feminist twists or "liberalism" and politically correct stupidities. Here, as much as people like Ahmanet, this character ruined the movie with its hollow presence and stupid motives. I hope that in a new movie or sequel Ahmanet or Nick will never come out again, and Imhotep will appear instead, which is undoubtedly a good character, and basically the god of mummies.

-Set is not the "god of death", Set is the god of chaos, desert and storms. The real god of death is Osiris.
-Ahmanet have a very stupid backstory, a hollow motivations and a fake lovestory (Her first chosen is killed, now she find another chosen, haha "true love", and the only goal in the mind of that perturbated woman is complete the pact with Set and become his queen, and his slave). A hollow character without the sympathy and terrifing personality of Boris Karloff's Imhotep.
-Tom Cruise stole the full protagonism.
5/10

10 Death Note

This isn't like top 10 bad, but it sucked. It does not go along with the original anime at all. Light acts more like an angry bullied brat rather than the calm collected malevolent genius he actually was. The girl was like Misa, only she was more annoying and more malevolent than Light himself. L was a cool character, but it seemed like he wanted revenge and was more vile and angry than his usual eccentric and chill personality.

They completly ruined my favorite anime of all time. They changed Light's last name to Turner, switched Light and Misa (or shall I say "Mia's") personalities, made L black (no racism intended) and turned Ryuk into some horribly terrifying monster (what happened to our awesome, sarcastic Ryuk, huh? ) Also they left out Mello, Near and Matt. Near was my favorite character in the anime and my #husbando, and we can't forget the ever so important ( no sarcasm intended) chocolate loving Mello! He dis play a very important role in the show. And last but not least, mister "4 minutes of pure awesomeness" MATT! he played a very important role in the show. Without him, Mello wouldn't have been able to kidnap Takada, and the whole show might have had a different conclusion. Overall -153/10

This and the Magic School Bus reboot have to be the two worst things Netflix has done this year in 2017. Honorable mention goes to them making some of their new anime titles exclusive to them and not simulcasting them. That aside, Death Note and Ghost in the Shell are just two of the most recent examples of why live-action adaptations of anime just don't work.

The casting in this movie is so awful, wow. Light doesn't even act like a smart boi and more like an angry emo boi in the live action. L is now not secretive and Misa is a thot. Also, who asked for bad dialogue either? Worst thing Netflix brought this year.

The Contenders
11 Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

While The Emoji Movie most definitely has to be the worst animated movie, if not, THE worst movie of 2017, this cruddy crossover on the other hand is most definitely the worst direct-to-DVD feature of 2017 tied with Surf's Up 2: Wavemania. Honestly, Warner Bros. is just milking the Tom and Jerry franchise dry at this point. The Wizard of Oz crossover was already bad enough looking back on it, and it's as if these direct-to-DVD features of Tom and Jerry are just made solely to take up a movie time slot on Cartoon Network's weekly schedule.

But what makes this stand out as quite possibly one of the worst Tom and Jerry movies of all time is that the movie blatantly tries to assert itself to be an original movie. Warner Bros., I think you might have been watching too much Teen Titans Go! and Suicide Squad (oh, God. Please don't make Tom and Jerry cross over with them! ) and lost all common business sense that every smart entertainment company should have. Simply mashing two ...more

All you need is to watch Nostalgia Critic's and Saberspark's reviews on this movie to see how pointless and absurd this direct-to-DVD cash grab is. Really, the only Tom and Jerry DVD movie "crossover" I liked was the Nutcracker's Tale since they actually made an ORIGINAL story out of it. However, this movie is the complete opposite. Honestly, I'd wish Warner Bros. would stop pumping out all these sub-par direct-to-DVD movies. Whatever happened to good direct-to-DVD movies like Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island?

Tom and Jerry and Willy Wonka! Who knew they'd work so perfectly together! I can't wait to see their next projects! Including:

Tom and Jerry: Pulp Fiction
Tom and Jerry: A Clockwork Orange
Tom and Jerry: Requiem for a Dream
Tom and Jerry: Fifty Shades of Grey
Tom and Jerry: The Human Centipede

Why do you have to make a crossover between Tom & Jerry and Willy Wonka. This is just as bad as the 1992 T&J movie. The characters are silly creeps. The humor is poorly used. The plot is predictable. The animation is pretty lazy. And it was rushed as hell.

12 Beauty and the Beast

Before you think about voting for this movie, look at all the movies that are below this one; The Nut Job 2, Transformers 5, The Boss Baby, Smurfs: The Lost Village, Rings, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Wish Upon...wait a minute! Wish Upon isn't even on this list yet! But the remake of Beauty and the Beast is...

Sorry, but I do not think this movie should be on this list. Sure, Emma Watson is not the best actress in the world by a longshot, and she probably wasn't the best choice for Belle. But there is a lot I really liked about the remake, and there are a few things I think the remake did better than the original. Is it better than the original overall? Absolutely not. But is it a bad movie? Absolutely not.

Disney actually are without new ideas. Now they bought (and ruining) Marvel (Infinity War will be like Iron Man 3, looks "serious" in the trailers but in teathers will be a garbage with children jokes), Lucasfilms (a wrong idea of feminism), problably 20th Century Fox, because they are running out of ideas. And now, Disney is restarting its classic movies in live action and with new politically corrects, a wrong ideas of feminism, and "liberal" plots and characters, only for merchandising.

You can't PC-ify that which was already perfect to begin with and hope that it'll gain a new audience. This movie didn't know if it wanted to be like the fairy tale, or the animated version, and the end result failed at making a decent version of either of them. Only watch this movie if you want to gain a better appreciation for the animated classic. If you already love the original, like I do, stay as far away as possible.

I get it. People don't like this movie. But that doesn't man it's a terrible movie. Can we at least get it out of the top 10, possibly the top 20? I mean, Wish Upon and Unforgettable are ranked lower than this. No matter how much you dislike this remake, it is NOT worse than the trash listed below it right now.

13 Monster Trucks

The creators of this movie think that this idea is unique, but there's a fine line between unique and lazy, sure nobody has done this idea, a monster truck that has an actual monster in it, but when you really think about it, it really does sound like a lame idea, it's like making a movie where walls talk, does that sound creative or lazy to you?

14 Flatliners

The only thing that was scary about this movie was taking my money out of my wallet to see it.

15 The Bye Bye Man

Everything about this movie is garbage. The cinematography is some of the worst I've ever seen, the acting ranges from decent to terrible by the standards of a middle-school play, the CGI looks like trash even when compared to its budget, and the editing is the definition of lazy. What sells this movie as the worst of the year (and one of the worst I've seen in general) is the plot and writing. Every scene in this movie is a cliché fest, but the dialogue exchanges never sound human, The Bye-Bye Man is another all-powerful entity that was clearly trying to rip-off the Slender Man and Candy Man, and even as a concept the movie makes no sense! The Bye Bye Man tricks characters into killing their family and friends, and the only way to stop him is to do exactly that. Excuse me, what? Did you even read the script you just wrote?! The trailers and the movie being marketed as a "true story" are all lies as well. This movie is a complete dumpster fire, one that's far greater than The Emoji Movie.

16 Despicable Me 3

The Despicable Me franchise is running out of ideas, this movie was sure to prove that. There was also some sort of scenario going on as well which didn't play with the characters in the best possible way. Some of them lost their edge as well, they are still likeable though. Although to be fair, this movie was okay, nowhere near the level of the first 2 though I've gotta say.

It was okay, but it was kids movie with some redeeming factors. I mean there was a few unpredictable moments, it's beautifully animated and Steve Carrell is great as always! In the first 2 movies, Gru had to face problems and all sorts of things. This movie instead of it having some emotion and depth, it's a cartoon with little to nothing of that!

This movie sucks, all the characters suck or a minor character sometimes both, the plot is bad, and everything else in this movie is bad. Up until this point I loved minion movies so I bet you could tell how disappointed I was about this movie. The Emoji Movie is WAY better then this stupid piece of junk, so this movie should be number 1.

How is this movie not higher on the list? First of all, we are introduced to a character who is even more annoying than the minions, and secondly this doesn't feel like a Despicable Me movie. The first 2 were really good but this was just utter trash. Hope they won't make a Despicable Me 4.

17 Woody Woodpecker
18 The Divergent Series: Allegiant

This was terrible. This movie was definitely 1/5 garbage. The acting was boring and unrealistic, the plot moved along at a much slower pace. You don't care about any of the characters at all. Again, the amount of CGI in this movie gouges out my eyeballs. Insurgent was much better.

19 Pitch Perfect 3

I hate these kinds of chick-lit flicks! Even though Girls Trip did well at the box office, that's not stopping me from hating these kinds of films, Unfunny Night did terrible at the box office and was panned by critics, but I can see why. These films aren't executed very well and are sometimes very painful to watch, you need good directors to direct these kinds of movies. So this film might flop as bad as all those other bad chick-lit flicks that came out this year. I don't doubt it at all.

This franschise is really boring, and that Fat Amy character glorifies obesity.
I honestly think that
Tumblr is a movie corporation nowadays. I would rather watch Sony films than see this repetitive Buzzfeed propaganda shoved in my face. Sadly, this is the reality that this generation lives in. to be honest, I'm a teenage girl who wishes. I was a teen somewhere between the years of 1998-2004, y'know before Youtube, Tumblr, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook? (Actually YouTube has a good side, but rarely people upload anything to anymore). Also, I'm sick of period jokes. We get it, women menstruate. It's boring, unclever, and unfunny.

Unpopular Opinion: I'm a teen girl who HATES chick-lit films! All they do is whine about slapping men and getting periods then call each other female dogs. BORING! Anyone agree? Also Pitch Perfect is boring and garbage. They wreck good songs.

The first Pitch Perfect was tolerable. The 2nd Pitch Perfect was annoying. Now, a series so egotistic about itself has to come out with a third piece of trash that caters to basic college aged white girls trying to find themselves.

20 Smurfs: The Lost Village

My Review:
Story: 3/10 (boring and cliche)
Animation: 7/10 (not the best, but better than the first movies)
Characters: 3/10 (just a bunch of stereotypes, not even the new ones are good)
Humor: 0/10 (either jokes that have been done a million times before, or jokes that aren't funny at all)
The only reason people like this trash is because it's better than the original live-action Smurfs movies. It DEFINITELY is better than the live-action Smurfs movies,but it's still sucks! Avoid unless you want to see how bad it is! - SpyNaps

It was just decent but the sex scene between Smurfette and Elmo was just unnecessary.

This is bad, but it's still better than the two live action films.

Really cute and funny animated film.

21 The Lego Ninjago Movie

Unfortunately I'm going to be expressing some disappointment and sadness in my next review, because this movie was absolutely dreadful to sit through. An obnoxious, detestable, inaccurate, and greedy piece of soulless dreck that makes its intentions to sell LEGO sets blatantly obvious throughout. Hell, in the END CREDITS they literally show you what looks like pages of LEGO instruction booklets for the mechs that the Ninja use in the movie! The consumerism in these animated movies isn't even trying to be subtle anymore. First The Emoji Movie, and now this. 3/10

The worst in the entire Lego franchise but this movie is not bad. Overall, it's a decent and entertaining movie

Aka, A cash grab to finish your wallet and a excuse for Lego to make more money!

This movie was rubbish, disgusting, cheap, plagerized, and only made for kids to buy toys!

22 King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

Yeah it sucked alright! It was a generic action flick with characters you could care less about, crappy action sequences that were ripped out of a video game, unoriginal plot, And David's stiff performance! I thought it was going to be an epic journey! But it turned out to be a generic comedic Video game like movie! Even the jokes weren't funny and I wanted this movie to be over after a few minutes in! So whatever you do! Don't waste your time on this crappy flick! It was something we thought was going to be epic! But became a disaster! What did the people at Warner Bros even smoke?

This is going to be in the top ten eventually. Trust me on this one.

23 Mother!

This movie is just disgusting. It's about a girl gets rid of people who wrecked her house to Satanic rituals give me chills. And the baby died? Nope. The music credits? Extra nope!

Didn't watch the movie

24 Rings

This is so unscary and boring, I felt like I know what is going to happen and nothing is frightening about this film. Awful plot, boring stuff and yea PRETTY uninteresting. 2/10

Very boring not even scary and the same plot like the other ones don't watch

25 Power Rangers

When I watch the T.V. series it's just men wearing costumes fight on a miniature city. It's just weird. But the movie was way more different in the originals though even it's CGI while the T.V. series was just decent. I'm hoping that this movie also sponsored with Krispy Kreme. Which is just weird that since the original series does'nt have Krispy Kreme back in the day (and I just watched it in other channels since I was'nt living on the 90s). This movie is just underrated but it's more different in the T.V. series.

This makes all the worst versions look like citizen Kane.

Saw it in a special viewing, best movie I have ever seen!
Becky G. was amazing!

This looks cool. Hope it doesn't disappoint
