Thank you everyone for joining us for this wonderful journey. 2017 has been one of best years for Mr. Enter and that makes me happy. It makes us all happy! Thank you everyone for the appreciation towards the hard work, love, and dedication to the medium of animation!
My appreciation for you two is beyond anything! You definitely brought a new light to the quality of Mr. Enter's videos! Enter definitely got better with his videos. He inspired me to wanna start reviewing cartoons myself! Thank you both!
There was a poster on my school campus earlier this year that read "Buy a yearbook, because it's not the Emoji Movie". That is one of the best posters I've ever seen.
It could have also been: "Wait, why are you here? Aren't you a very popular emoji?" "I am, but for a reason that's different than you think." (Gene shudders)
Nah, he's not (that) crazy. He's just frustrated with how the (entertainment) world currently works. ^_^ I, somehow, think that things are only going to get worse before they get better. **decides to watch a few classic animated series/shorts until Life improves**
That intro kind of scared me a bit. I thought he lost it before the review even started, not that I could blame him. I only watched 5 minutes of it and it made me terrified thinking about where the industry may go from this point forward.
I just thought of something. THE EMOJI MOVIE also rips off RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER. The hero has a "defect" that makes him a misfit, then his "defect" saves the day in the end.
"The 'feminist' character is written like how every anti-feminist would write a feminist straw-man." That's...actually probably the most accurate description of the character I've ever heard.
I'll tell you why: because all of the talent and effort of the studio from 2017-18 went into Spider-verse, with all of the other projects during that time having to suffer.. a similar situation happened with RealFX with the films "Free Birds" and "The Book of Life"
DaCableGuy That is wrong on so many levels. This movie is not Where The Dead Go To Die. It's just something that is one of the biggest punching bags in all of cinema for little reason.
So little reason? This is the (Everything I Do) I Do It For U of movies. This movie practically puts effort into its laziness. It’s trying as hard as possible to do nothing at all. While WTDGTD may be worse, I at least think it has more of a right to exist than The Advertisement Movie. In my opinion, this is the furthest that a movie can be from being enjoyable. It’s not remotely entertaining, and it’s not even interesting in its awfulness. This is by far the most worthless film I’ve seen in my life, and one of only a few pieces of media that legitimately offends me.
Critica 77y Okay. I admit that "little reason" is false. I get that. I know why this movie is hated. Heck, I hate this movie myself. But the problem is, the reactions this movie gets is, I'll say it and I'll say it again: This hatred is worse than the movie itself. It's been over a year now. We can put this movie to rest. It needs to fade into oblivion, where it belongs. When I heard that this was going to be a thing I thought it was a joke. I wish it was... but by far the worst thing to come out of this movie is everyone's response to it.
I can see where you’re coming from, but I still have to disagree. This movie deserves all of the hate that it gets, because it’s the logical conclusion of soulless product placement being passed off as “entertainment.” This movie is the most generic thing in the history of anything ever, and I hate it for it. I don’t want it to be forgotten. I want it to be regarded by all future filmmakers as a warning of what not to do.
I was baby sitting once, and the parents told me to put on a movie before they went to bed. The kids were convinced they had to show me the emoji movie. I "couldn't figure out how to get the DVD player to work"
Not really, D YellowMadness, he said the movie was another one of those "surprise villain" cliches. He never described Smiler's.... um... smile as liked a serial killer
Eggplant (probably accidentally) actually has a kind of decent joke - at the start of the movie when Alex is single and too nervous to talk to his crush, Eggplant is in the loser lounge. At the end of the movie, after alex gets the girl, Eggplant is front and centre as a "most used" emoji. Again, this was probably done by accident, but still.
I guarantee that it was accidental beyond the shadow of a doubt. It was placed in the loser lounge either because the film makers thought it was a dumb looking emoji or because they don't think a 14 year old would be capable of innuendo. Later it was featured front and center entirely because it had been in the loser lounge in the beginning.
One main reason I hate Jailbreak (even though I never watched the movie) is that she's clearly a rip-off of Wyldestyle from The Lego Movie, I mean just look at her
That's not even the only problem with Jailbreak. Another reason why Jailbreak would be WAY too defended by crazy trollers which could be redundant to even say) is because not only is she the weakest tomboy of all time, but almost nobody in the world could be as overly dependant as that super sexist stereotype of an emoji. THAT'S how insufferable Jailbreak is, maybe even by The Emoji Movie standards.
And her problem of female emojis always being princesses ignores the fact the film has shown us two female non-princess emojis in Mrs Meh and Smiler. Even if she hadn’t met them Gene doesn’t correct her.
Gene is supposed to be metaphorically trans, or something. No one wanted them to do that. *I* didn't want them to do that. No one else I know wanted them to do that. Why did they feel the need to try to pander to every modern demographic and minority at the same time, and why did they never stop and think whether or not it was a good idea?
Wow. I'm straight and cis and this is a fucking offensive piss poor representation, only tacked on to either pander to, or mock, a demographic. I honestly can't tell with this movie if they are genuinely trying to be inclusive, or they are just making a parody of the LGBT community...fuck this movie.
@@adampkalb Nah, it is how an military organization (If you don't know, Marvel was allowed to use real military gadgets but then they are not allowed to make the Military look bad) would write a woman. After all, scenes from CM later got used in Military ads (Especially Air Force ads). The sad thing is, however, that the propaganda scene in Captain America (Really similar names...) is satire about the Military's insane propaganda and they managed to get it trough, which is amazing.
@@Reapermaskhybrid While yes the whole thing was stupid let's be honest it makes more sense for MARVEL Studios to own the name even though DC got it first
Does the movie not realize that you can sent MULTIPLE emojis in one text? Seriously, Gene was changing his face into pre-existing emojis. Wouldn't it make more sense if, at the end, he reveals a totally new facial expression that emojis can't make, showing off his individuality? Just send a text with, like, 20 emojis in it and get the same message. That was my big problem with the plot. I was yelling at the screen the entire time.
When he made the wrong face it sent a completely new emoji and no one noticed but when alex sent a gif of emojis to his crush she had all his babies Also how did the wrong face emoji go thru to Addie's phone bc she doesnt have it on her operating system
I just realized, yes, the movie DOES realize that you can send multiple emojis in one text. Where does this come up? One time. FOR A FART JOKE. Showing the gust of wind next to the elephants' ass. And it never comes up again, they show that just for a fucking fart joke that's 100 years old at this point.
theres an american dad episode thats just one big reference to james bond films. in the end roger makes a remark about making a 6 hour movie of... you get the point
When Jailbreak said “men always take credit for the ideas women are coming up with,” my friend and I, who were in a theater watching this movie, almost burst out laughing because of that line
Stephen Brown I mean there's the history of DNA with Watson, Crick and Franklin. Watson and Crick may have taken from Franklin a bit. I'm sure that's not the only example but it's the first that came to mind. Gotta thank my Bio teacher for that though.
Kaelan McAlpine But Watson and Crick didn’t only take it from Franklin, they combined a ton of different information from different scientists, like Franklin and Chargaff. So, in that instance, it isn’t necessarily them taking women’s credit, but taking a ton of other scientist’s information
The movie also makes him a socially awkward whiteboard with no personality that has a phone that from his perspective is glitchy and probably virus ridden. It is like an ad hominem attack on the people that pirate their movies.
Since they were on the receiving end of many hackings. Yeah, I was one of the victims of one of those hackings. I tried to check out their store one Christmas only for it to be inactive for a while.
Everyone is so overwhelmed by the other bad things about the movie, it's like trying to pick out a campfire while Yellowstone national park is burning to the ground.
Nah, plenty of anti-feminists getting their briefs in knots over this. Also, if you look up you'll see a troll failing miserably. It's an entertaining sight.
PinkiePool GamerBrony9 Well the Popeye movie was not cancelled, just got hold back for this shitty movie. You're just confused like I am, a classic that will never gets old got held back for some fucking normie add's... And PSN prices got Higher after this movie was released. I thought Microsoft was horrible, Sony is the fucking worst!
Jawan Meizu That's even worse. Now that they've seen it can turn profit, they're going to rip pages out of the Emoji Movie handbook and stuff them into the Popeye movie.
Actually, that's a lie. They shelved Popeye before they even GOT this movie. The Emoji Movie script was auctioned off to Sony months after the Popeye fiasco. They were competing with Paramount and Warner for it.
I feel like this movie was a long con. Embedding these services and apps into tiny brains so that in 10-20 years they will maintain cultural/'technological relevance.
Fun thing is, your old animations are wayyy better than the movie, sure they might be a little outdated, but hell, you can go back and re-watch them a lot of times and still enjoy them, even Breadman, this movie however...........you just wanna bleach your eyes out after watching it.
actually.. I Heard the Creator Of Popeye Movie had some problems with the Studio or something. But Still - If I Had to Choose between Meh Movie and Popeye Movie - I Would Choose Popeye Any Day.
We're talking about Popeye movie from Sony. That supposed to be made, some time ago, and was cancelled for some reason (Most Probobly due to some problems that Maker of that movie had with The Studio). It really looked great and could be more interesting than this... piece of meh.
LeahDell _04 Nothing can replace Robin Williams as Popeye in my heart. I'd rather keep that wonderful film than potentially see my childhood ripped apart.
Oh, I get it. Jailbreak is a princess-in-disguise *pretending* to be a hacker but is really not one at all, while High-Five the Schlub is an actual hacker because schlubs are computer nerds, or Everyone Has Hidden Potential, or whatever. Oh, my, how very, very original and clever, Sony Pictures. Like if Sony Pictures should die in a fire(wall) and take The Emoji Movie to the fires of Hell with them.
Naruto85RasenShuriken I just hope that Cerberus can safely eat and digest The Emoji Movie, and also that he doesn't make the mistake of watching it first. ^^;
The name jailbreak cracks me up . It's like a B-list X-men name. "Introducing to the team: jailbreak! She can bend iron bars, and deliver weak social commentary!"
ReasyRandom hey at least 50 shades had some interesting sex scenes and the story was funny as hell. “Oh I know i said I don’t want to be wit you after the incident with the belt but now that your acting like a stalker lets get married.
Don’t get your hopes up. They don’t even have a clue about the fucking audience this is directed to. Like everyone says, this movie is insultingly condescending to Millenials and Gen-Zers.
Archer Bennington I'm a millenial and I don't use phones so much unlike other millenials who bringing those phones. I used it at home and when I went to different places by picking up a song during my journey.
I graduated from high school in 2016, but I can safely say most of my teachers took students phones if they had them out during class. I can't tell begin to tell you how many times I had my phone taken..... But I guess in the emoji movie world the teachers just stopped caring right?
Reckno64 I was a 9th grader, but I never used my phone in class until the end of the school days and I used to call my parents. Also, I have a lot of work to do in school such as studies and arts. But for technologies in science, I know that emojis are not sentient or it was just a malfunction but the theory behind the emoji movie was just in Alex's point of view and none of the movies happened. Maybe Sony just manipulated the story about Alex's problem (a minor problem) or like The Game Theory said, it was just illegal to make sponsorships between FCC or any sponsorship governments, etc. For me, in my perspective view, maybe the little Emoji wanted to be famous because we tap so hard on this poor Emoji and become very infamous in medias history. But sadly, the Emoji went depressed after the movie was released due to poor reviews and killed the movie itself.
Here's how I'd rewrite it. Not gonna say that I'll never make it, but here's an idea: There's this character who's obsessed with his phone and treats it like his other life to the point it's taking a toll on his relationships with those around him. Then the Emojis embark on a quest in an attempt to bring him motivation and they even tell him that his addiction is causing more harm than good and motivate him to socialize with people.
I've only watched rants about this movie because I refuse to watch the actual thing, but wouldn't the movie be better if the emojis had a wide range of vocal emotions but just looked like their emoji? Like, I've seen scenes of Gene's (I think that's how you spell his name) parents and they sound like "meh". I think it would have been more impactful to have his parents sound sad, happy, concerned, etc because then it would seem like their true selves are stuck within a shell of a being capable of only one expression. Nevermind, that would require Sony to actually put in effort..
rosestar1324 That could have actually worked... If all the emojis did that it would be a representation of how we all do things society thinks we don't. But ya know, that would require a brain emoji which they don't have.
I actually saw this movie in theaters. I got so bored over how cliche this movie was that I found myself on my phone, and I actually felt okay with it.
Not a lot, but it was certainly more than I had seen at previous screenings. I worked at the theater I saw it at, and needless to say this movie played to empty seats on multiple occasions.
Wow. I couldn't even do that during a bad movie. I did during Olafs Frozen Adventure, but nonody was there to see that and I was well away from other people.
That hand character breaking it's pinky finger every time they have to do something with its right "arm" makes me cringe and want to vomit at the same time.
What made me cringe more than that was the shot during the Just Dance scene where he has an ass, and the other hand emoji shown earlier in the movie that had abs o_e
When I scrolled up above this video, an error happened with my iPad and a caption above this video said "A video ad is playing", and I couldn't stop laughing for ten minutes.
I do think Mr Enter is insane. Not because of his notion that this was salvageable, but because of that intro. Good lord man. You rode that Spongebob fear track a bit TOO well...
He has aspergers, for sure. I worry more and more for his mental health as his reviews get more and more emotionally unstable. I mean, good grief, it is a MOVIE, don't work yourself up this much.
My philosophy with animation is that there are no bad ideas. Only poor execution. So seeing a movie like this fail so spectacularly on every aspect is saddening. I truly believe that this movie could have been truly good.
I completely agree with you. Not just with animation but film in general. It’s always disappointing when something just doesn’t work as well as it could’ve been if people just tried.
Would the movie be better if it actually was about Alex and how he uses Emojis than what we got with it being about the emojis themselves? Actually, I think it might have, they could have even made up a few new emojis for the film, maybe giving it the in-universe justification that Alex is a hobby programmer and made his own emojis to fill in the gaps of text communication, and then the studio could release the original emojis from the film as an IRL downloadable add-on to the standard texting app for marketing. I came up with that off the top my head. I remember there was a commercial that consisted of nothing but a guy's Google searches, and the searches heavily indicated a narrative of him going to Paris, meeting a pretty French woman, using translation apps to communicate, and eventually moving to Paric permanently, getting married, and having a baby. It was a sweet and touching commercial that both told a story and accurately advertised what the product does, the Emoji movie could have been a feature-length version of that, but it wasn't.
No, it's a comedy for children! If this film made you angry like it did to most people, just be glad if it didn't give you nightmares once you left. December 12, 2017, 5:28pm
The thing about Smiler is, she's the "Twist villain" cliche at its absolute worst, mainly because her turning out to be evil wasn't really much of a twist (For the audience, at least) at all. Her creepy smile stuck on her face gave her a sinister feel right from the start (And this is coming from someone who, mercifully enough, never saw the movie: Just the preview footage and whatnot). It would be like if Hans from 'Frozen' (Who, despite what Mr. Enter said in his 'Worst cliches' video, I found to be a good villain: His revelation as a villain came as a genuine shock to me when I first saw the film in theaters, then on repeated viewings, it became more and more clear what a scheming sociopath he was, manipulating everyone) wore a black cape, had a curly mustache that he liked twirling a lot with his finger, and a nefarious "Nyah- hah- hah- hah" laugh right from when we first see him.
Dustin Freeman, according to the 'Villains Wiki' page for her and a couple clips I saw, Hi-5 and Jailbreak disable the Anti- Virus Bot, causing it to fall on Smiler and seemingly crush her. In a mid- credits scene, we see that she in fact survived, though her teeth were fractured. She's wearing heavy braces over her teeth and playing cards with a couple other emojis in the "Loser Lounge." So, a lame defeat/ resolution for a lame villain.
I know it's rather sad to say this, but I have, in fact, thought of a way to make the movie a fair bit more palatable. Rather than having the other residents of Textopolis bash Gene for having emotions, Gene bashes himself for not being able to keep a neutral expression on his way to the first day on the job. When he gets to the work place, he should eventually come across Smiler, who, while still a villain paranoid that Gene's going to get them terminated due to his screwup, she initially starts by displaying no ill will towards Gene's screwup. And rather that having Gene absolutely panic, he instead gets called on and inadvertently wears a rather smug expression, rather than the meh expression that was asked of him. Alex sends the message and is paranoid when his crush glares daggers into him. He is initially comforted by everyone, including Smiler, who even notes that he's going to get another shot when Alex sends another message to correct his typo. And then he screws it up by wearing a face of paranoia. Everyone panics when class starts and Alex mutters that he needs to get his phone looked at. The emojis take 40 and a meeting is held with the most prominent emojis, including Devil, hold a meeting to discuss what to do. Poop convinces Smiler to fire Gene, making a pun about going down the drain while Devil convinces Smiler to fear a factory reset. The entirety of Textopolis goes into panic and it's disguised with a mandatory update that Alex can't cancel. Gene takes responsibility and banishes himself to the loser lounge. THERE he meets Hi-5, who Gene confides in and Hi-5 attempts to comfort him. Gene tells him he doesn't care until Hi-5 mentions that he knows someone who's helped him out with a similar problem. Rather that going into a piracy app they tear apart a hyperlink from an old text and access the phone's very OS, where Jailbreak hides. With a little bit of strongarming and appealing to reason from Hi-5 Jailbreak concedes and joins our misfits. They need to go to Candy Crush, but not because it's a plot point. Gene and Hi-5 are also confused, as the audience should be, but Jailbreak promises it'll make sense. Eventually the team makes it out and accesses Candy Crush, which is on the same screen as the text app when Alex shut down the phone at the beginning of school. They again have to play the game, but rather than Hi-5 having a montage, it's Gene who manages to work his way to the bottom. He initially played the game accidentally while panicking about his situation, flailing in a desperate gambit to get out of the grid. He notices the fact that he descended eventually and manages to get a grip, working his way down by calling the shots. Meanwhile, in the real world, rather than anything being said by Alex as he tries to silence his shaking phone he silently catches it, silences it and looks around the class, sinking in his seat at the twenty pairs of eyes - although to Alex it looks like 100 pairs - digging into his soul. He silently sinks in his seat and grabs a pink slip from his teacher. He has detention now. Eventually Gene manages to escape in a similar method, but he actually drops to the bottom of the screen and squeezes out the bottom, as the game recognizes him as an ingredient, rather than a candy. They all backtrack down the path, eventually making it to the main menu. Jailbreak hotwires the King logo on the main menu to take them to the store page, which will take them to the app store, which will put them closer to the settings. Gene and Hi-5 show admiration, causing Jailbreak to blush. Eventually they make it to the app store, where they get attacked on all sides by cheesy, schlocky, bad apps and Gene uses Hi-5 to invoke Grievous Harm With a Body to bat them away, leaving the likes of Black Tiger and Baby Hazel to fall to the bottom of the metaphoric/literal barrel. When they get to the settings, they realize that the Spotify app is still consuming data, which is keeping them from fixing Gene's code without the phone's OS locking them out. Fortunately, not only is Spotify on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, meaning it can be accessed from anywhere, but it's rather easy to get it to stop from inside the app. Not so much from settings; the layout Jailbreak doesn't recognize. Anyway, they head down to the app while Hi-5 attempts to navigate the settings from where he stands to find where he can get it to stop. He's almost there before one of Smiler's drones grab him from the back and drag him back to Textopolis. When they get to Spotify they once again have to ride down a river of a song, but rather than it being generic whale noises it's "Unwell" by Matchbox 20. The most recent song to be favorited by Alex. Initially distracted by the jangly music, the Genius annotations come up and tell them what the song is truly about. Jailbreak doesn't care while Gene is horrified. Eventually they manage to shut down Spotify's data consumption and return to the settings app, where they notice that Hi-5 is missing. A drone left behind gives them a message from Smiler telling them they want Gene to come back and answer for endangering the phone. Gene, panicking, decides to rush back towards Textopolis, dragging Jailbreak with him before she can even start making adjustments. When being dragged, Jailbreak asks a single question that makes Gene stop in his tracks, inadvertently flinging Jailbreak into the app. "What exactly did you want me to do to you?!" Gene sits outside of the app for a moment, contemplating what he was asked. Meanwhile Jailbreak also gets captured, but Gene doesn't notice because he's too busy piecing everything together. Alex was all the way at level 100 in Candy Crush. Alex's contact list contained a stolen number. Alex was too afraid to speak up to defend himself. Alex's favorite songs included "Unwell", "Whatsername" and "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. "Alex is being hindered by us," he realizes. "if not his very phone." Gene rushes back into the app to explain that they were never helping Alex, but he stops when he notices Smiler staring him down, Hi-5 and Jailbreak held in the clutches of the drone. His words are caught in his mouth, he's unable to tell them that Alex has been slowly damaging himself. Instead he simply confesses that "Alex... Alex needed me..." Smiler nods in victory and drops Hi-5 and Jailbreak, explaining that all three of them, while not banned from the texting app cannot enter the building ever again. The three of them walk down the street, mulling over how everything they worked for was for nothing. Until Jailbreak gets a suicidal idea. Break in late at night and send a message to Alex's crush behind his back, telling her that Alex might need to sever ties with him. Gene tells Jailbreak off, saying how they've been massive hinderances to Alex's ability to function as a person. Meanwhile in the real world, Alex has been poking away at his phone, wondering why he can't get any sort of cell service. He calls the store and arranges for them to look at it via bumming his crush's phone, who is kind enough to let him do so. When he hands her the phone back Alex pauses and realizes it's the first he's ever actually spoken to her with words from his mouth. He chases her down afterwards and propose they hang out. She agrees, but Alex still wants to take his phone to get looked at. The entire phone is out of a job for a couple of days due to the fact that the phone needs to be taken in and have its menu navigated - which sets up a joke that all Alex needed to do was turn the phone off and on again, full shutdown - but when the lights come back on everyone is confused that Alex isn't using them. Only Gene, Hi-5 and Jailbreak - who has gone back into hiding - know the truth. It turns out that using the phone's actual phone functionality has been enough for Alex and his crush, as it pans out from the app, the screen, then the phone, to show the two talking about the recent movie that came out about those dogs in the apartment complex. Roll credits.
I'm no technological genius, but if Alex's phone is glitching and he's the most typical teen in existence, wouldn't he Google how to fix it first? Maybe uninstall the more problematic apps? (There are plenty of games exactly like and even better than candy crush that he could replace it with, or he could just leave a bad review and go without) Also, and maybe this is just me, but wouldn't a person back up their data and do a factory reset first? I mean, he literally went to the genius bar for them to do a factory reset. If he googled how to solve his problem (like most teens would) then someone somewhere would have suggested that. Actually, he should have started with restarting his phone. Sometimes turning it off and on again can help. Guess Sony should have asked customer service for help while writing.
Zora-Twilight I wish at the end of the movie Alex left the phone from the store to solve the problem and let those living Emojis died in blackness, then one day later, he fixed the problem as he returned to the store and the phone resets and not a single living Emoji left. Instead of the original ending where Alex letting those Emojis live to party and start to work.
@@EvokerInvokerble (sigh) Let us hope it is the last one. 21 Animated Atrocities videos of Spongebob Squarepants is enough reviews to last a lifetime. January 17, 2021, 2:02pm
He is secretly older than 14, he drives in his parent's car after they go to sleep, and he goes out drinking with his friends. 🍺🍻 Not really, I just thought that it would be a great personality trait for Alex.
I love this movie because of how incompetent it is. It's by far the worst movie I've ever seen but I just can't be mad at it. I know that everyone says you can't even watch it for a "so bad, it's good" way, but I disagree. Everybody should see this movie to learn how to NOT make a film.
Which is a good reason to keep some bad stuff around. For two movies can be the same. A action movie or do the same thing. Yet in one it's good and in the other is bad. Learning these key differents, like what made this moment epic and this other one so bad. For watching both good and bad things, can help you to learn the key different between a bad moment and a good one. Well or why one works and the other doesn't.
except please don't, because sony doesn't see the difference in genuine money and ironic money. they just see the money, and if people keep going to see it just because of how bad it is, they will make another one.
The Loser Lounge scene should have and could have been: Gene: "Wait, why are you here? Aren't you a very popular emoji?" Eggplant: "I am, but for a reason that's different than you think." (he says while we zoom into his face, and suspense music play) Gene: (shudders)
Rainbow Brush I had a revelation about Lego Movie earlier today, and wanna know what makes it refreshing? The protagonist is NOT a cheap anticonformist that had been portrayed in every animated flick since the nineties: he's a CONFORMIST trying to adapt in a dystopian and confusing world where imagination and creativity is a precious skill... And he HAS to use imagination despite being bland and "normal", which is kinda uncommon in 3D movies since forever!
Also, why the fuck did he have to go to a repair store to factory reset a phone? All you have to do is hold the Power and Volume up/Volume down button and go through a menu.
What's funny is, any real freshman would know that. So this is just more proof that the writers not only know nothing about resetting phones, they also know nothing about their target audience.
Because... drama, I guess? An excuse to give Gene some sort of time frame to get himself meh'd? I don't know, it's really hard to play devil's advocate for this movie... and not just because their devil is just a one-note joke.
Talia that's cuz you're a chick! Ok but seriously, you still know you don't have to go all the way to the store to have someone else do it for you. Also you should check out your boot menu sometime. I know if you have a lollipop os you can play a crappy Flappy Bird knockoff that's pretty fun. For like two seconds.
2016: Gave us Norm of the North. 2017: Gave us The Emoji Movie. 2018: Will give us Teen Titans Go to the Movies. I can't wait to see what 2019 will give us... *Sigh*
Well, 2019 will have the CGI Lion King, so depending on your opinion of live-action remakes will be good or horrible. I just hope it keeps all the songs. EDIT: Disney removed Be Prepared. Unless they replace it with a new villain song, that movie will be on my boycott list.
Animated Atrocity? Oh no no no, this is no mere atrocity, this is a goddamn Animated Genocide, an Animated Crime Against Humanity, basically think of the worse possible act committed by a human being, multiply it by cancer, and that's this movie.
*+TrollDragon98* First off, "Animated Genocide." There's a joke about the protagonist's name being Gene in there somewhere. Second... "...the worse possible act committed by a human being, multiply it by cancer, and that's this movie." I'm certain that there're worse movies than this out there. Just look up Where the Dead Go to Die. That makes this movie look like The Room in terms of enjoyment. Mr. Enter has even stated that he won't review it because it's too bad to be labeled an Animated Atrocity. By the way, how does one multiply by cancer? Excuse me for a moment while I talk to my third-grade teacher. I'm legitimately curious as to how cancer fits in the world of mathematics.
Silver Scale Simple, one must find the numerical equivalent of the pure awfulness that is cancer and add it to the numerical equivalent of the different levels of awfulness that each stage of cancer has, in this case it would be stage 5. So basically 5c+c= 5c^2×H= infinity. Solve for C and H. Its simple 1st grade calculus, so I expect an answer by tomorrow morning, show your work.
During the Where's the Fair Use movement, there's an image on Mr. Enter's RUclips page that shows that he is subscribed to IHE. He even referenced him in said video, "You remind of someone. You wouldn't happen to be the father of a six-foot-tall cat were you?"
@powerstar 2028 Fuck off; Gravity Falls is great. Although, I wouldn't expect a child like you to realize that since you like shows such as Toddler Titans.
I hated that hand character. Not because he had no character at all, but because whenever he used his thumb and pinky finger like arms, I'd look at my own hands and just... ugh.
Smol Angry Russian I despised High Five's animation as well. It's the most uncomfortable thing to watch considering the model is built like a typical hand with the correct joint configuration. Because of the anatomy it just seems like a lot of motions should be off limits even by animation standards due to realistic joints being limited in their range of how they are allowed to move. I've seen King Dice's knockout animation from Cuphead, and while the motion is a bit uncomfortable to watch--specifically his hands as they look like they collapse to their knees and profusely beg for mercy--the animation can get away with it as Cuphead is a game whose art style is a throwback to rubber hose animation from the 1930's, where bizarre movement and morphing was a common trope. I guess the rule is if you design a character so that certain deformations cannot ever look or feel natural and as a result break the physics of the world created, either alter the design so the deformations cannot break physics or anatomy or refrain from using motions and deformations that actively break physics or anatomy (all of which even by animation standards). Feel free to correct me if I missed something or got something wrong.
I too thought this animation look uncomfortable... And I didn't thought someone would Mention King Dice... Yeah... his hands at the end... ugh... I don't even wanna think about it. [but boss battle was pretty cool]
I'd blame dumb parents not willing to risk their kids seeing anything remotely scary or challenging, but can't be bothered reading a review for even five seconds, and therefore just shove them in front of whatever animated movie that has stupid grins and garish colors on the poster, regardless of the quality of the content.
Zackattackplayspokemon With the Emoji movie, nearly everyone could see that it was going to be bad even before it came out though, and even if they didn't know before, word of mouth spred quickly after the movie was released. You'd have to be pretty oblivious to miss the critique on that movie.
God that sucks. I felt like Kubo was deeply flawed but it was also super creative and visually + technically stunning, and then you have this wasteland of a film.
I love how your description is just "No." along with the foreboding intro. Not even two minutes and I'm already liking it. :) Although that laughter.. We finally found the shit that broke MrEnter folks. Be scared.
It could have turned out a lot better if it had legitimately likable characters and a good motivation plot. Wreck it Ralph wasn't shy about its obvious video game tie-ins, the trailers overemphasized that aspect, but what really makes the movie is Ralph and later Vanellope and their struggle to be accepted in their perspective game worlds. Video Game based Movies tend to suck more often than not because they rely too much on the video games aspect and try to cheaply appeal to nostalgia. Wreck it Ralph was trying to tell a good story, and just so happened to have popular franchise characters in the background. You could remove them and the movie wouldn't be too different simply because it's their original characters that drive the plot forward and the ones you'll remember.
It's because Wreck-It Ralph spent time showing the personalities of its characters and making you empathize with their situations. The Emoji Movie doesn't even bother to TRY; from the looks of it, every character is a walking, talking stereotype. And not good ones, either.
As a feminist myself, Jailbreak was just a insulting as a character. It felt so pandering and devoid of nuance or subtlety. Instead of being a good feminist character she feels more like a strawman an anti-feminist would come up with. In fact, as the movie goes on, she just ends up looking like an asshole, and not powerful at all. Normally I'd say describing something as virtue signaling is bullshit, but honestly I think that's the best way to describe this character.
I haven't seen the movie, and this is really minor compared to everything else, but I HATE what they constantly do with High Five's little finger. Just...fingers don't move like that. That's not how knuckles work. Your hand is broke, dude. Get that fixed before you traumatize everyone.
His physique kind of freaks me out with the way his fingers move. You are right: there's something incredibly fucked up with your hand if you can move your pinky like that.
“Ahh hahaha, that idea is stupid and risky and will never work” *idea actually works and is good* “Omg! Let’s shamelessly copy them and run the idea into the ground!”
That's the problem with watching these movies ironically. Think of Bad Rats, a shitty game that people played and bought for their friends as a joke, but their purchases lead to the creation of Bad Rats 2 which wasn't even bad enough to be good. It was just bad.
KirbyKips not really a profit, it barely makes the double of its production budget, but it doesn't cover the marketing budget Also, with all the criticisms it had from the critics and the audience, I think the message to them was clear enough
Dude you need to do like an Admirable Animation or something to get your spirits back up. You've done a ton of Animated Atrocities in rapid succession, and you've been sounding more defeated and depressed each time. I was afraid this review might actually be the one that breaks you. Do something happy and get your spirits back, for yourself more than any thing.
My parents forced me to watch this movie when it came out. I literally forgot everything about it, even that whole "shocking" plot twist of Jailbreak (forgot her name too) being the princess emoji. God, this movie was so unbearable and yet completely forgettable.
+Mitchel Huffa There are so many possibilities for movie names... Tetris 2: Geometric Boogaloo Tetris 2: Tetris Harder Tetris: Origins, Revelations, Revolution, Returns, etc. And none of them are factually good - just entertaining to think!
The only time emojis were used without felling cringy is the Gumball episode The Romantic is because the episode mock the concept of emojis rather than using them to look cool.
I wonder if this movie would have been better if Alex was the focus. Like he had a personality, and the majority of the movie was him kind of having his life messed up because his phone keeps doing weird shit, with each weird thing explained by a sub plot of these incompetent emojis going through his phone for some good reason. Like a scene of him failing a big project because he couldn't access his Dropbox due to being locked out for failed password attempts, shortly after the scene where they try to get into his Dropbox. Or Candy Crush, which would be a generic unbranded game in a decent movie, for that matter Dropbox would be an unbranded Cloud storage app, starting up and making a lot of noise during class and getting him sent to detention All culminating in him going for a factory reset while jean does his whole multi Emoji thing, and the factory reset sticks and everything is deleted, but Alex has a nice resolution because that last emoji does end up getting him the girl.
Sony really needs to stop making animated films. The only one I liked was the first Hotel Transylvania because I personally found it very funny in parts but I'm not going to act like it broke any new ground, there's a ton of other movies I would watch before that one.
I've been wondering if Sony isn't doing everything they can to tank their animation department. I'm not sure why, but maybe they hate the genre and don't want to make animated movies. Of course, this makes you shout, "Okay, so why did you start a animation department in the first place?!" and I still haven't come up with an answer yet. Maybe the only answer is "Cocaine. Lots and lots of it."
There’s a difference between criticism and hating in case the “fans” are confused. Criticism is a way of stating your most honest opinion on a piece of creativity. Hating is simply saying negative stuff regardless of whether most people find it good or not The Emoji movie is not a movie. It is an insult to the modern generation and you wonder why it is heavily criticized. In other words. Whoever actually likes this movie needs there reality checked
Your definition of "hating" seems to invalidate the fact that someone can honestly have a negative opinion of something and say so; just because someone's opinion is negative and at odds with the majority doesn't invalidate their opinion. Not that the majority of people who actually saw this are defending it unironically, thank God.
Troodon I came back to this comment almost a year later and I cringed at my comment, it was very biased cause I hated it at the time. I still don’t like the movie. But whoever likes this I’ll respect their opinion
Also, Enter, I've been meaning to say this a while. You present your points about politically-charged topics incredibly well, and intelligently. The way you handle it demonstrates common sense, and is very good at getting across to people who wouldn't normally agree with you, instead of turning it into an intellectual deadlock where we just pick our sides and all that. It's extremely clear that our politics don't mesh. I'm very liberal, and very proud of it. But I find myself nearly always agreeing with the points you actually present, which isn't 'libruls are traitors', but 'regardless of your own opinions, this is a stupid and horrible way to convey your Message or whatever', etc. You make good points not just here, but in other videos, about girl power shows that do it wrong, that TTG episode where the girls were 'superior', like, all over. You do a really good job with this stuff, and it's appreciated. Much respect for handling this sort of thing in a clear, honest, intelligent manner. Well, I guess that shouldn't be a shock, since you do that with everything, and while being clear-headed and reasonable, you're also hilarious and can get quite subjective and angry. When it's needed. Like with this movie.
No, he's said in one of his videos (I want to say his "Further Thoughts on the Goode Family") that he's pretty dead center, with the only real leaning being towards anti-authoritarian. He also said in the same video that he is (or at least was at the time of the video) upset with the current behavior of the left, but that's pretty far from being conservative.
Oh boy, the Nostalgia Critic's inevitable review of _The Emoji Movie_ should be fun... *_[Cue the Critic going completely insane after the first 5 minutes]_*
Well Enter went insane when seeing others shit on this movie which was BEFORE the actual review! Which makes sense considering that he has made over 100 Animated Atrocities videos.
I am a firm believer that ALMOST ANY concept can work with enough good effort, marketing, love, and skill. The emoji movie could have been good, hell - it could have great, but there NO effort, love, and skill and WAAAYYY too much bad marketing, and that is just sad smdh.
Then you have way more faith in humanity than I ever have or will. No, it couldn't have. A species capable of making a good movie out of the concept, wouldn't have come up with that concept.
Troodon If you want to see how it possibly could have worked, check out Bobsheaux's review of this "movie" as his ideas for an Emoji Movie are a million times better than the "film" we wound up getting...
+Troodon I sort of agree with both of you. Theoretically, this movie could have been made in such a way that it was good. However, any entity that would come up with the idea and not immediately say "eh, nah" is not capable of making such a film good.
The Emoji Movie could have been like Wreck it Ralph or Inside Out, what doomed it wasn't the concept but the execution. They didn't intend this to be a work of art or a good story, they intended it to be one long ad.
Honestly, I think the best comparison to the Emoji Movie is Captain Underpants. The concepts both sound extremely stupid. Both have extremely low budgets due to their studios being outsourced to smaller animation studios. Both rely on current culture and immature humor for their movies. The difference is execution (and the source material for Captain Underpants is really good). The Emoji movie is extremely pandering and rips a lot of other things off without actually trying. Captain Underpants actually tries and is a competent product.
This movie would have been much better if they focused on the destructive aspects of social media rather than shoving all of those unneeded advertisements. It could have been a good and educational movie this way.
Thank you everyone for joining us for this wonderful journey. 2017 has been one of best years for Mr. Enter and that makes me happy. It makes us all happy! Thank you everyone for the appreciation towards the hard work, love, and dedication to the medium of animation!
And thank you for the work you put into making this journey the excellent experience it has been!
My appreciation for you two is beyond anything! You definitely brought a new light to the quality of Mr. Enter's videos! Enter definitely got better with his videos. He inspired me to wanna start reviewing cartoons myself!
Thank you both!
I believe we owe our thanks to you, since you've been the one who made Mr. Enter's videos better than they were in the past.
I enjoyed this review more than I did the actual movie. Thank you guys so much!
TheCrimsonMayhem of course, great job to you both
There was a poster on my school campus earlier this year that read "Buy a yearbook, because it's not the Emoji Movie". That is one of the best posters I've ever seen.
@powerstar 2028 As much as I hate school, I'd rather stay there for the rest of my life than watch this movie even once.
You know your ad is bad when other ads use it negatively
Garytina some schools are not bad
did you buy one? :V
I sure was lucky to have graduated high school a decade before that film was released.
If it was a parody, this is how Eggplant would've made sense
"Wait, why're you here?"
"The mom's been monitoring his texts"
"Ah, tough break, man"
plz translate, I don't speak emoji.
CrazyBunnyProductions this is a kids movie. That's why It's in "the loser lounge"
It could have also been:
"Wait, why are you here? Aren't you a very popular emoji?"
"I am, but for a reason that's different than you think."
(Gene shudders)
Not even a parody, just if it had been written better it would have been correct
Now that pretty funny CrazyBunny😂
*Im sorry for using a emoji*
We are gathered here today to lay rest to the mentality of Mysterious Mr. Enter.
Nah, he's not (that) crazy. He's just frustrated with how the (entertainment) world currently works. ^_^
I, somehow, think that things are only going to get worse before they get better.
**decides to watch a few classic animated series/shorts until Life improves**
It'll come back in two weeks of time.
That intro kind of scared me a bit. I thought he lost it before the review even started, not that I could blame him.
I only watched 5 minutes of it and it made me terrified thinking about where the industry may go from this point forward.
Rip my dude
You can't kill what was never there...you'd have to be crazy to watch this film and review it for any reasons.
I just thought of something. THE EMOJI MOVIE also rips off RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER. The hero has a "defect" that makes him a misfit, then his "defect" saves the day in the end.
OH MY GAWD.....YOURE RIGHT!!! RRRRRRUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!
Makes sense now that i think about it...
Like Incredible Hulk but somehow more depressing
@Laura Birdwell True
Gasp! It dun goofed!
"The 'feminist' character is written like how every anti-feminist would write a feminist straw-man." That's...actually probably the most accurate description of the character I've ever heard.
23Starcatcher They got a vote for existing, duh
sounds like most feminist characters in cinema really
@@23Starcatcher god! Finally! Someone that actually agrees with me on the internet. You made my day.
@@23Starcatcher so what else could be a lie in this world
If the Strawman is a Feminist, then. Shouldn't it be a Strawwoman?
And a year later, the same studio put out "Into the Spider-Verse."
How?
Looks like Sony learned their lesson
REDEMPTION ARC
Ying Yang
I'll tell you why: because all of the talent and effort of the studio from 2017-18 went into Spider-verse, with all of the other projects during that time having to suffer.. a similar situation happened with RealFX with the films "Free Birds" and "The Book of Life"
The watched Hotel Transylvania
This movie is so bad that it became the first animated feature to win the Razzie Award for “Worst Picture.”
*Worst. Picture.*
Let that sink in.
Raptor Daptor47 lego batman was decent tho
DaCableGuy That is wrong on so many levels. This movie is not Where The Dead Go To Die. It's just something that is one of the biggest punching bags in all of cinema for little reason.
So little reason? This is the (Everything I Do) I Do It For U of movies. This movie practically puts effort into its laziness. It’s trying as hard as possible to do nothing at all. While WTDGTD may be worse, I at least think it has more of a right to exist than The Advertisement Movie. In my opinion, this is the furthest that a movie can be from being enjoyable. It’s not remotely entertaining, and it’s not even interesting in its awfulness. This is by far the most worthless film I’ve seen in my life, and one of only a few pieces of media that legitimately offends me.
Critica 77y Okay. I admit that "little reason" is false. I get that. I know why this movie is hated. Heck, I hate this movie myself. But the problem is, the reactions this movie gets is, I'll say it and I'll say it again: This hatred is worse than the movie itself. It's been over a year now. We can put this movie to rest. It needs to fade into oblivion, where it belongs. When I heard that this was going to be a thing I thought it was a joke. I wish it was... but by far the worst thing to come out of this movie is everyone's response to it.
I can see where you’re coming from, but I still have to disagree. This movie deserves all of the hate that it gets, because it’s the logical conclusion of soulless product placement being passed off as “entertainment.” This movie is the most generic thing in the history of anything ever, and I hate it for it. I don’t want it to be forgotten. I want it to be regarded by all future filmmakers as a warning of what not to do.
I was baby sitting once, and the parents told me to put on a movie before they went to bed. The kids were convinced they had to show me the emoji movie. I "couldn't figure out how to get the DVD player to work"
Megan Barineau Good save.
Best. Babysitter. Ever!!
You are so merciful. Thank you.
You are a true hero
This is an amazingly underrated comment
To be fair, Smiler isn't really a surprise twist villian... She has a serial killer aspect of her creepy-ass smile that kind of gives it away
That's kinda what Mr. Enter was saying. Unless you mean the movie wasn't trying to make it a surprise.
+D YellowMadness Or triied to maklkee it a surprise, but failed.
Not really, D YellowMadness, he said the movie was another one of those "surprise villain" cliches. He never described Smiler's.... um... smile as liked a serial killer
Dude, in the TRAILER it was already obvious she was a villain.
EYTPS Pennywise has a more appealing smile than her.
Eggplant (probably accidentally) actually has a kind of decent joke - at the start of the movie when Alex is single and too nervous to talk to his crush, Eggplant is in the loser lounge. At the end of the movie, after alex gets the girl, Eggplant is front and centre as a "most used" emoji. Again, this was probably done by accident, but still.
Nathan Wright what the joke
The eggplant emoji is commonly used in sexting, since it looks like a penis.
I guarantee that it was accidental beyond the shadow of a doubt.
It was placed in the loser lounge either because the film makers thought it was a dumb looking emoji or because they don't think a 14 year old would be capable of innuendo.
Later it was featured front and center entirely because it had been in the loser lounge in the beginning.
Soooo, the only good joke in the movie is a fucking innuendo that wasn't even intentional. Holy shit how incompetent can you get?
Clearly they are trying to get "units of incompetence" defined as "Sonies"
Good vid man!

Hello man! Nice to see you watch Mr.Enter too!
One main reason I hate Jailbreak (even though I never watched the movie) is that she's clearly a rip-off of Wyldestyle from The Lego Movie, I mean just look at her
That's not even the only problem with Jailbreak. Another reason why Jailbreak would be WAY too defended by crazy trollers which could be redundant to even say) is because not only is she the weakest tomboy of all time, but almost nobody in the world could be as overly dependant as that super sexist stereotype of an emoji. THAT'S how insufferable Jailbreak is, maybe even by The Emoji Movie standards.
Oh, and Jailbreak is also Halsey in cartoon form.
She is also a rip-off of Sombra from Overwatch
And her problem of female emojis always being princesses ignores the fact the film has shown us two female non-princess emojis in Mrs Meh and Smiler. Even if she hadn’t met them Gene doesn’t correct her.
@Yharon is alone well, they're all pre downloaded into the phone, so WHY is Smiler in charge again?
You put more effort into ripping the movie apart then the actual producers.
That's usually a good thing though. I expect a review of the product.
That’s the point?
o.o
I mean 40 minutes talking about how bad people are would suck and be considered slanderous wouldn't it?
Salokin WOULD YOU GET OUT OF HERE?!?
It gets worse. According to the director, Gene is meant to be an analogy for the struggle of the LGBTQ+ community.
Jessica M Steph nope he is serious
Gene is supposed to be metaphorically trans, or something. No one wanted them to do that. *I* didn't want them to do that. No one else I know wanted them to do that. Why did they feel the need to try to pander to every modern demographic and minority at the same time, and why did they never stop and think whether or not it was a good idea?
Wow. I'm straight and cis and this is a fucking offensive piss poor representation, only tacked on to either pander to, or mock, a demographic. I honestly can't tell with this movie if they are genuinely trying to be inclusive, or they are just making a parody of the LGBT community...fuck this movie.
@Raylee R I feel like this is Sony actually trying to be pandering, but they know nothing about how to positively represent an LGBT+ character.
OliCoon what the hell?! Gene is the worst character to have or represent that kind of struggle
"jailbreak is written like how an anti-feminist aould write a feminist strawman" THANK YOU!! couldn't explain it better myself!
You haven't seen Captain Marvel yet. March 25, 2019, 10:30pm
@@adampkalb Honestly, I skipped on that crap fest to see the real Captain Marvel, who sadly goes by Shazam now.
@@adampkalb Nah, it is how an military organization (If you don't know, Marvel was allowed to use real military gadgets but then they are not allowed to make the Military look bad) would write a woman. After all, scenes from CM later got used in Military ads (Especially Air Force ads).
The sad thing is, however, that the propaganda scene in Captain America (Really similar names...) is satire about the Military's insane propaganda and they managed to get it trough, which is amazing.
Adam Kalb do you hate her because of something in real life? Um what happened to judging a character on their own merit in their own movie?
@@Reapermaskhybrid While yes the whole thing was stupid let's be honest it makes more sense for MARVEL Studios to own the name even though DC got it first
Does the movie not realize that you can sent MULTIPLE emojis in one text? Seriously, Gene was changing his face into pre-existing emojis. Wouldn't it make more sense if, at the end, he reveals a totally new facial expression that emojis can't make, showing off his individuality? Just send a text with, like, 20 emojis in it and get the same message. That was my big problem with the plot. I was yelling at the screen the entire time.
that would actually be better.
Sentret Sparkle great point
When he made the wrong face it sent a completely new emoji and no one noticed but when alex sent a gif of emojis to his crush she had all his babies
Also how did the wrong face emoji go thru to Addie's phone bc she doesnt have it on her operating system
@@sunnysside6709 You'd think Sony would know how different operating systems work.

When Jailbreak said “men always take credit for the ideas women are coming up with,” my friend and I, who were in a theater watching this movie, almost burst out laughing because of that line
Stephen Brown I mean there's the history of DNA with Watson, Crick and Franklin. Watson and Crick may have taken from Franklin a bit. I'm sure that's not the only example but it's the first that came to mind. Gotta thank my Bio teacher for that though.
Kaelan McAlpine But Watson and Crick didn’t only take it from Franklin, they combined a ton of different information from different scientists, like Franklin and Chargaff. So, in that instance, it isn’t necessarily them taking women’s credit, but taking a ton of other scientist’s information
And, therefore, taking those scientists’ credit
It sounds like stupid Hollywood liberal fluff

even I'd think JailBreak is a ripoff to Wildstyle from The LEGO Movie
I dont remerber Wildstyle being a salty feminist
CodeNameZ that's why it's a ripoff and not "inspired by".
Is there any popular movie that The Emoji Movie does NOT rip-off?

Oh yes. Not only are we getting a Tetris trilogy of movies, they are being made by the team behind Food Fight. I am completely serious.

The name jailbreak cracks me up . It's like a B-list X-men name. "Introducing to the team: jailbreak! She can bend iron bars, and deliver weak social commentary!"
Jailbreak is so cheap of a name, even Wyldstyle wouldn't use it.
Jailbreak sounds like a second rate ripoff of Prison Break.
They're so lazy, they have to steal technical terms that they didn't come up with. What's next, The Rooter?
There's also that they not only didn't come up with them, they don't understand them.
Seriously, casting "Jailbreak" as a "hacker"? Really? *Really*?
Emoji movie..living proof that you can make a literal piece of shit and still turn a profit.
I'm pretty sure Twilight and Fifty Shades are already considered proof for that.
ReasyRandom hey at least 50 shades had some interesting sex scenes and the story was funny as hell. “Oh I know i said I don’t want to be wit you after the incident with the belt but now that your acting like a stalker lets get married.
ReasyRandom and twilight...was just bland and forgettable. Like a shitty lifetime movie
The poop emoji.
ReasyRandom there’s also Digimon Tri Teen Titans Go And the Pokemon Black and White Anime
The people who made this movie do realize like 90% of teachers will immediately take your phone if they see you on it in class, right?
Don’t get your hopes up. They don’t even have a clue about the fucking audience this is directed to. Like everyone says, this movie is insultingly condescending to Millenials and Gen-Zers.
Archer Bennington I'm a millenial and I don't use phones so much unlike other millenials who bringing those phones. I used it at home and when I went to different places by picking up a song during my journey.
I graduated from high school in 2016, but I can safely say most of my teachers took students phones if they had them out during class. I can't tell begin to tell you how many times I had my phone taken.....
But I guess in the emoji movie world the teachers just stopped caring right?
I got my old b&w Gameboy confiscated by my 4th grade teacher once (I got it back at the end if the day, this was back in the mid 90s)
Reckno64 I was a 9th grader, but I never used my phone in class until the end of the school days and I used to call my parents. Also, I have a lot of work to do in school such as studies and arts. But for technologies in science, I know that emojis are not sentient or it was just a malfunction but the theory behind the emoji movie was just in Alex's point of view and none of the movies happened. Maybe Sony just manipulated the story about Alex's problem (a minor problem) or like The Game Theory said, it was just illegal to make sponsorships between FCC or any sponsorship governments, etc.
For me, in my perspective view, maybe the little Emoji wanted to be famous because we tap so hard on this poor Emoji and become very infamous in medias history. But sadly, the Emoji went depressed after the movie was released due to poor reviews and killed the movie itself.
Here's how I'd rewrite it. Not gonna say that I'll never make it, but here's an idea:
There's this character who's obsessed with his phone and treats it like his other life to the point it's taking a toll on his relationships with those around him. Then the Emojis embark on a quest in an attempt to bring him motivation and they even tell him that his addiction is causing more harm than good and motivate him to socialize with people.
Nice
Sony: naw not enough poop and fart jokes
I've only watched rants about this movie because I refuse to watch the actual thing, but wouldn't the movie be better if the emojis had a wide range of vocal emotions but just looked like their emoji? Like, I've seen scenes of Gene's (I think that's how you spell his name) parents and they sound like "meh". I think it would have been more impactful to have his parents sound sad, happy, concerned, etc because then it would seem like their true selves are stuck within a shell of a being capable of only one expression.
Nevermind, that would require Sony to actually put in effort..
rosestar1324 exactly
I watched it and the parents were sad happy and concerned lol in fact the dad had the same "malfunction" as the son, he has more than one emotion too
rosestar1324 god forbid that Sony tries to make this work
rosestar1324 That could have actually worked... If all the emojis did that it would be a representation of how we all do things society thinks we don't. But ya know, that would require a brain emoji which they don't have.
+daydreamqueen They all have more than one emotion they just show one expression
I actually saw this movie in theaters. I got so bored over how cliche this movie was that I found myself on my phone, and I actually felt okay with it.
Were there a lot of people in the theater?
Not a lot, but it was certainly more than I had seen at previous screenings. I worked at the theater I saw it at, and needless to say this movie played to empty seats on multiple occasions.
You poor thing.
(No really I feel for you.)
Wow. I couldn't even do that during a bad movie.
I did during Olafs Frozen Adventure, but nonody was there to see that and I was well away from other people.

That hand character breaking it's pinky finger every time they have to do something with its right "arm" makes me cringe and want to vomit at the same time.

My philosophy with animation is that there are no bad ideas. Only poor execution. So seeing a movie like this fail so spectacularly on every aspect is saddening. I truly believe that this movie could have been truly good.
Over Enthusiastic Trekkie well, how could a plot about Brian giving Stewie Herpes work in ANY way?
@@mememan3447 Family Guy would be one of the only things that doesn't follow this philosophy.

Would the movie be better if it actually was about Alex and how he uses Emojis than what we got with it being about the emojis themselves? Actually, I think it might have, they could have even made up a few new emojis for the film, maybe giving it the in-universe justification that Alex is a hobby programmer and made his own emojis to fill in the gaps of text communication, and then the studio could release the original emojis from the film as an IRL downloadable add-on to the standard texting app for marketing. I came up with that off the top my head. I remember there was a commercial that consisted of nothing but a guy's Google searches, and the searches heavily indicated a narrative of him going to Paris, meeting a pretty French woman, using translation apps to communicate, and eventually moving to Paric permanently, getting married, and having a baby. It was a sweet and touching commercial that both told a story and accurately advertised what the product does, the Emoji movie could have been a feature-length version of that, but it wasn't.
Oh, I remember Google Search Story advertisements. They were nice.
There was even a time when we could make our own Search Story videos.

Wait, what movie are you referring to in your comment?
The only thing missing what Chris Stuckmann yelling, "IT SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED!!!!!!!"
Alex would instantly become the best character if he just let the damn phone wipe happen that would be the good ending
The thing about Smiler is, she's the "Twist villain" cliche at its absolute worst, mainly because her turning out to be evil wasn't really much of a twist (For the audience, at least) at all. Her creepy smile stuck on her face gave her a sinister feel right from the start (And this is coming from someone who, mercifully enough, never saw the movie: Just the preview footage and whatnot).
It would be like if Hans from 'Frozen' (Who, despite what Mr. Enter said in his 'Worst cliches' video, I found to be a good villain: His revelation as a villain came as a genuine shock to me when I first saw the film in theaters, then on repeated viewings, it became more and more clear what a scheming sociopath he was, manipulating everyone) wore a black cape, had a curly mustache that he liked twirling a lot with his finger, and a nefarious "Nyah- hah- hah- hah" laugh right from when we first see him.
sorry but i cant really agree about hans. he was definitely a weak villian especially as a twist
What happened to Smiler in the end? Was she killed by the virus or deleted before the main character saved the day?
The problem with Hans is that his plan was stupid, and none of his previous actions really made sense with him being a villain.
Dustin Freeman, according to the 'Villains Wiki' page for her and a couple clips I saw, Hi-5 and Jailbreak disable the Anti- Virus Bot, causing it to fall on Smiler and seemingly crush her.
In a mid- credits scene, we see that she in fact survived, though her teeth were fractured. She's wearing heavy braces over her teeth and playing cards with a couple other emojis in the "Loser Lounge."
So, a lame defeat/ resolution for a lame villain.
Smiler isn't even a twist villain to begin with. She's an obvious villain, which the trailers didn't even hide. She picks her teeth with a meat hook!
This review is like a movie itself and I’d definitely watch it over the Emoji Movie

StormGaming Delayed because Sony's got to make money from The Shitty Ad Movie!
It was delayed. Why does everyone hammer that?
Sam L. They shelved it to make way for the Emoji Movie.
I know it's rather sad to say this, but I have, in fact, thought of a way to make the movie a fair bit more palatable.
Rather than having the other residents of Textopolis bash Gene for having emotions, Gene bashes himself for not being able to keep a neutral expression on his way to the first day on the job. When he gets to the work place, he should eventually come across Smiler, who, while still a villain paranoid that Gene's going to get them terminated due to his screwup, she initially starts by displaying no ill will towards Gene's screwup.
And rather that having Gene absolutely panic, he instead gets called on and inadvertently wears a rather smug expression, rather than the meh expression that was asked of him. Alex sends the message and is paranoid when his crush glares daggers into him. He is initially comforted by everyone, including Smiler, who even notes that he's going to get another shot when Alex sends another message to correct his typo.
And then he screws it up by wearing a face of paranoia.
Everyone panics when class starts and Alex mutters that he needs to get his phone looked at. The emojis take 40 and a meeting is held with the most prominent emojis, including Devil, hold a meeting to discuss what to do. Poop convinces Smiler to fire Gene, making a pun about going down the drain while Devil convinces Smiler to fear a factory reset. The entirety of Textopolis goes into panic and it's disguised with a mandatory update that Alex can't cancel.
Gene takes responsibility and banishes himself to the loser lounge. THERE he meets Hi-5, who Gene confides in and Hi-5 attempts to comfort him. Gene tells him he doesn't care until Hi-5 mentions that he knows someone who's helped him out with a similar problem. Rather that going into a piracy app they tear apart a hyperlink from an old text and access the phone's very OS, where Jailbreak hides.
With a little bit of strongarming and appealing to reason from Hi-5 Jailbreak concedes and joins our misfits. They need to go to Candy Crush, but not because it's a plot point. Gene and Hi-5 are also confused, as the audience should be, but Jailbreak promises it'll make sense.
Eventually the team makes it out and accesses Candy Crush, which is on the same screen as the text app when Alex shut down the phone at the beginning of school. They again have to play the game, but rather than Hi-5 having a montage, it's Gene who manages to work his way to the bottom. He initially played the game accidentally while panicking about his situation, flailing in a desperate gambit to get out of the grid. He notices the fact that he descended eventually and manages to get a grip, working his way down by calling the shots.
Meanwhile, in the real world, rather than anything being said by Alex as he tries to silence his shaking phone he silently catches it, silences it and looks around the class, sinking in his seat at the twenty pairs of eyes - although to Alex it looks like 100 pairs - digging into his soul. He silently sinks in his seat and grabs a pink slip from his teacher. He has detention now.
Eventually Gene manages to escape in a similar method, but he actually drops to the bottom of the screen and squeezes out the bottom, as the game recognizes him as an ingredient, rather than a candy. They all backtrack down the path, eventually making it to the main menu.
Jailbreak hotwires the King logo on the main menu to take them to the store page, which will take them to the app store, which will put them closer to the settings. Gene and Hi-5 show admiration, causing Jailbreak to blush. Eventually they make it to the app store, where they get attacked on all sides by cheesy, schlocky, bad apps and Gene uses Hi-5 to invoke Grievous Harm With a Body to bat them away, leaving the likes of Black Tiger and Baby Hazel to fall to the bottom of the metaphoric/literal barrel.
When they get to the settings, they realize that the Spotify app is still consuming data, which is keeping them from fixing Gene's code without the phone's OS locking them out. Fortunately, not only is Spotify on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, meaning it can be accessed from anywhere, but it's rather easy to get it to stop from inside the app. Not so much from settings; the layout Jailbreak doesn't recognize.
Anyway, they head down to the app while Hi-5 attempts to navigate the settings from where he stands to find where he can get it to stop. He's almost there before one of Smiler's drones grab him from the back and drag him back to Textopolis.
When they get to Spotify they once again have to ride down a river of a song, but rather than it being generic whale noises it's "Unwell" by Matchbox 20. The most recent song to be favorited by Alex. Initially distracted by the jangly music, the Genius annotations come up and tell them what the song is truly about.
Jailbreak doesn't care while Gene is horrified.
Eventually they manage to shut down Spotify's data consumption and return to the settings app, where they notice that Hi-5 is missing. A drone left behind gives them a message from Smiler telling them they want Gene to come back and answer for endangering the phone.
Gene, panicking, decides to rush back towards Textopolis, dragging Jailbreak with him before she can even start making adjustments. When being dragged, Jailbreak asks a single question that makes Gene stop in his tracks, inadvertently flinging Jailbreak into the app.
"What exactly did you want me to do to you?!"
Gene sits outside of the app for a moment, contemplating what he was asked. Meanwhile Jailbreak also gets captured, but Gene doesn't notice because he's too busy piecing everything together.
Alex was all the way at level 100 in Candy Crush.
Alex's contact list contained a stolen number.
Alex was too afraid to speak up to defend himself.
Alex's favorite songs included "Unwell", "Whatsername" and "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails.
"Alex is being hindered by us," he realizes. "if not his very phone."
Gene rushes back into the app to explain that they were never helping Alex, but he stops when he notices Smiler staring him down, Hi-5 and Jailbreak held in the clutches of the drone. His words are caught in his mouth, he's unable to tell them that Alex has been slowly damaging himself.
Instead he simply confesses that "Alex... Alex needed me..."
Smiler nods in victory and drops Hi-5 and Jailbreak, explaining that all three of them, while not banned from the texting app cannot enter the building ever again.
The three of them walk down the street, mulling over how everything they worked for was for nothing. Until Jailbreak gets a suicidal idea.
Break in late at night and send a message to Alex's crush behind his back, telling her that Alex might need to sever ties with him.
Gene tells Jailbreak off, saying how they've been massive hinderances to Alex's ability to function as a person.
Meanwhile in the real world, Alex has been poking away at his phone, wondering why he can't get any sort of cell service. He calls the store and arranges for them to look at it via bumming his crush's phone, who is kind enough to let him do so.
When he hands her the phone back Alex pauses and realizes it's the first he's ever actually spoken to her with words from his mouth. He chases her down afterwards and propose they hang out. She agrees, but Alex still wants to take his phone to get looked at.
The entire phone is out of a job for a couple of days due to the fact that the phone needs to be taken in and have its menu navigated - which sets up a joke that all Alex needed to do was turn the phone off and on again, full shutdown - but when the lights come back on everyone is confused that Alex isn't using them. Only Gene, Hi-5 and Jailbreak - who has gone back into hiding - know the truth.
It turns out that using the phone's actual phone functionality has been enough for Alex and his crush, as it pans out from the app, the screen, then the phone, to show the two talking about the recent movie that came out about those dogs in the apartment complex.
Roll credits.

To bait for rule 34
Wow, I never even noticed.
I'm no technological genius, but if Alex's phone is glitching and he's the most typical teen in existence, wouldn't he Google how to fix it first? Maybe uninstall the more problematic apps? (There are plenty of games exactly like and even better than candy crush that he could replace it with, or he could just leave a bad review and go without)
Also, and maybe this is just me, but wouldn't a person back up their data and do a factory reset first? I mean, he literally went to the genius bar for them to do a factory reset. If he googled how to solve his problem (like most teens would) then someone somewhere would have suggested that.
Actually, he should have started with restarting his phone. Sometimes turning it off and on again can help. Guess Sony should have asked customer service for help while writing.
Zora-Twilight I wish at the end of the movie Alex left the phone from the store to solve the problem and let those living Emojis died in blackness, then one day later, he fixed the problem as he returned to the store and the phone resets and not a single living Emoji left. Instead of the original ending where Alex letting those Emojis live to party and start to work.
Zora-Twilight It's amusing that you expected Sony to actually put some effort into Alex's character.

I love this movie because of how incompetent it is. It's by far the worst movie I've ever seen but I just can't be mad at it. I know that everyone says you can't even watch it for a "so bad, it's good" way, but I disagree. Everybody should see this movie to learn how to NOT make a film.
Almighty Roadkill oh like a study thing😅
Which is a good reason to keep some bad stuff around. For two movies can be the same. A action movie or do the same thing. Yet in one it's good and in the other is bad. Learning these key differents, like what made this moment epic and this other one so bad. For watching both good and bad things, can help you to learn the key different between a bad moment and a good one. Well or why one works and the other doesn't.
So it's like The Room
except please don't, because sony doesn't see the difference in genuine money and ironic money. they just see the money, and if people keep going to see it just because of how bad it is, they will make another one.
Almighty Roadkill u should look up Another Yeti a love story life on the streets.it's really really bad
The Loser Lounge scene should have and could have been:
Gene: "Wait, why are you here? Aren't you a very popular emoji?"

The Emoji Movie is a ripoff of three movies. The Lego Movie, Wreck it Ralph, and Inside Out.
Rainbow Brush unfortunately this is very true
Rainbow Brush I had a revelation about Lego Movie earlier today, and wanna know what makes it refreshing? The protagonist is NOT a cheap anticonformist that had been portrayed in every animated flick since the nineties: he's a CONFORMIST trying to adapt in a dystopian and confusing world where imagination and creativity is a precious skill... And he HAS to use imagination despite being bland and "normal", which is kinda uncommon in 3D movies since forever!
and Smurfs: the lost village
General Horse and Trolls is a ripoff of the Smurfs.
It also kinda reminded me of that one Fairly Odd Parents episode "Channel Chasers"
Also, why the fuck did he have to go to a repair store to factory reset a phone? All you have to do is hold the Power and Volume up/Volume down button and go through a menu.
What's funny is, any real freshman would know that. So this is just more proof that the writers not only know nothing about resetting phones, they also know nothing about their target audience.
Voltria I knew how to factory reset my phone before middle school.
Because... drama, I guess? An excuse to give Gene some sort of time frame to get himself meh'd? I don't know, it's really hard to play devil's advocate for this movie... and not just because their devil is just a one-note joke.
I was thinking that too.
Talia that's cuz you're a chick!
Ok but seriously, you still know you don't have to go all the way to the store to have someone else do it for you.
Also you should check out your boot menu sometime. I know if you have a lollipop os you can play a crappy Flappy Bird knockoff that's pretty fun.

Animated Atrocity? Oh no no no, this is no mere atrocity, this is a goddamn Animated Genocide, an Animated Crime Against Humanity, basically think of the worse possible act committed by a human being, multiply it by cancer, and that's this movie.
trolldragon98 what?
*+TrollDragon98* First off, "Animated Genocide." There's a joke about the protagonist's name being Gene in there somewhere. Second... "...the worse possible act committed by a human being, multiply it by cancer, and that's this movie." I'm certain that there're worse movies than this out there. Just look up Where the Dead Go to Die. That makes this movie look like The Room in terms of enjoyment. Mr. Enter has even stated that he won't review it because it's too bad to be labeled an Animated Atrocity.
By the way, how does one multiply by cancer? Excuse me for a moment while I talk to my third-grade teacher. I'm legitimately curious as to how cancer fits in the world of mathematics.
Silver Scale Simple, one must find the numerical equivalent of the pure awfulness that is cancer and add it to the numerical equivalent of the different levels of awfulness that each stage of cancer has, in this case it would be stage 5. So basically 5c+c= 5c^2×H= infinity. Solve for C and H. Its simple 1st grade calculus, so I expect an answer by tomorrow morning, show your work.

I hated that hand character. Not because he had no character at all, but because whenever he used his thumb and pinky finger like arms, I'd look at my own hands and just... ugh.
Smol Angry Russian I despised High Five's animation as well. It's the most uncomfortable thing to watch considering the model is built like a typical hand with the correct joint configuration. Because of the anatomy it just seems like a lot of motions should be off limits even by animation standards due to realistic joints being limited in their range of how they are allowed to move. I've seen King Dice's knockout animation from Cuphead, and while the motion is a bit uncomfortable to watch--specifically his hands as they look like they collapse to their knees and profusely beg for mercy--the animation can get away with it as Cuphead is a game whose art style is a throwback to rubber hose animation from the 1930's, where bizarre movement and morphing was a common trope. I guess the rule is if you design a character so that certain deformations cannot ever look or feel natural and as a result break the physics of the world created, either alter the design so the deformations cannot break physics or anatomy or refrain from using motions and deformations that actively break physics or anatomy (all of which even by animation standards). Feel free to correct me if I missed something or got something wrong.
Honestly I thought his animation was pretty cool.
I too thought this animation look uncomfortable... And I didn't thought someone would Mention King Dice... Yeah... his hands at the end... ugh... I don't even wanna think about it. [but boss battle was pretty cool]
You know what’s really sad? This movie grossed more money than Kubo and The Two Strings.
Kubo: $77.5 million
Emoji Movie: $216.8 million
I'd blame dumb parents not willing to risk their kids seeing anything remotely scary or challenging, but can't be bothered reading a review for even five seconds, and therefore just shove them in front of whatever animated movie that has stupid grins and garish colors on the poster, regardless of the quality of the content.

Didn't it just come out though?
Zackattackplayspokemon kubo? no it came out in 2016

With the Emoji movie, nearly everyone could see that it was going to be bad even before it came out though, and even if they didn't know before, word of mouth spred quickly after the movie was released. You'd have to be pretty oblivious to miss the critique on that movie.
God that sucks. I felt like Kubo was deeply flawed but it was also super creative and visually + technically stunning, and then you have this wasteland of a film.
I love how your description is just "No." along with the foreboding intro. Not even two minutes and I'm already liking it. :) Although that laughter.. We finally found the shit that broke MrEnter folks. Be scared.
It could have turned out a lot better if it had legitimately likable characters and a good motivation plot. Wreck it Ralph wasn't shy about its obvious video game tie-ins, the trailers overemphasized that aspect, but what really makes the movie is Ralph and later Vanellope and their struggle to be accepted in their perspective game worlds. Video Game based Movies tend to suck more often than not because they rely too much on the video games aspect and try to cheaply appeal to nostalgia. Wreck it Ralph was trying to tell a good story, and just so happened to have popular franchise characters in the background. You could remove them and the movie wouldn't be too different simply because it's their original characters that drive the plot forward and the ones you'll remember.
MetroidJunkie maybe if it also gave some insight into alex, maybe even made him do things that his mom wouldn't like
I would also put Angry Birds as another good movie based on a Video Game.
Rick Marr Not really. It's just average.
It's because Wreck-It Ralph spent time showing the personalities of its characters and making you empathize with their situations. The Emoji Movie doesn't even bother to TRY; from the looks of it, every character is a walking, talking stereotype. And not good ones, either.
@@godofwar234regi5 good enough.
As a feminist myself, Jailbreak was just a insulting as a character. It felt so pandering and devoid of nuance or subtlety. Instead of being a good feminist character she feels more like a strawman an anti-feminist would come up with. In fact, as the movie goes on, she just ends up looking like an asshole, and not powerful at all. Normally I'd say describing something as virtue signaling is bullshit, but honestly I think that's the best way to describe this character.
PastelSora Yeah, Jailbreak didn't really sound like a well done feminist character from what Enter says here.
I haven't seen the movie, and this is really minor compared to everything else, but I HATE what they constantly do with High Five's little finger. Just...fingers don't move like that. That's not how knuckles work. Your hand is broke, dude. Get that fixed before you traumatize everyone.
He's just as broken as everything else in this movie is.
His physique kind of freaks me out with the way his fingers move. You are right: there's something incredibly fucked up with your hand if you can move your pinky like that.
I saw this movie. Not in theaters, but illegally downloaded. I didn't want this movie to make any money. It traumatized me.
Green Storm I want someone to animate this movie so that they go to 4chan and get gassed in Auschitz
Same. Why would anyone waste their money on this behemoth of a trash heap?
Master Porky Minch WHAT IS THIS TIME PARADOX?!
I want to do the same. This is one time I WON'T feel bad for watching something illegally online.
It already made it's money with the sheer amount of ads, there it was a forgone victory for them.
“Ahh hahaha, that idea is stupid and risky and will never work”
*idea actually works and is good*
“Omg! Let’s shamelessly copy them and run the idea into the ground!”
"No I am not crazy, my therapists says I am not crazy. I am not *fucking* crazy!"
-Mr. Enter 2017
I can’t believe this movie made a PROFIT.
This means Sony Animations is going to think this idea is successful and make MORE.
KirbyKips Oh no...
That's the problem with watching these movies ironically.
Think of Bad Rats, a shitty game that people played and bought for their friends as a joke, but their purchases lead to the creation of Bad Rats 2 which wasn't even bad enough to be good. It was just bad.
Oh, no! That's what happened to Waterworld! Everyone thought we were safe because no one watched it, but then it made millions in the foreign market.
It didn't actually make a profit. Hollywood accounting...
KirbyKips not really a profit, it barely makes the double of its production budget, but it doesn't cover the marketing budget
Also, with all the criticisms it had from the critics and the audience, I think the message to them was clear enough
Dude you need to do like an Admirable Animation or something to get your spirits back up. You've done a ton of Animated Atrocities in rapid succession, and you've been sounding more defeated and depressed each time. I was afraid this review might actually be the one that breaks you. Do something happy and get your spirits back, for yourself more than any thing.
mikeytheeaglescout Yeah. He should review a masterpiece
He's actually stated before that Admirable Animations actually take MORE effort than Animated Atrocities.
Yeah, but hard work that's fun is better than easy work that makes you mad, in my opinion.
See his review of Fonz and the Happy Days Gang for his full stance on the matter.
He should review something so bad it’s good
My parents forced me to watch this movie when it came out.
I literally forgot everything about it, even that whole "shocking" plot twist of Jailbreak (forgot her name too) being the princess emoji.
God, this movie was so unbearable and yet completely forgettable.
Wait??? A Real Tetris Movie????? Are you serious????
a full trilogy
God dammit
I will only sign up for this if the third movie is called TERROR INSTINCT
+Mitchel Huffa
There are so many possibilities for movie names...
Tetris 2: Geometric Boogaloo
Tetris 2: Tetris Harder
Tetris: Origins, Revelations, Revolution, Returns, etc.
And none of them are factually good - just entertaining to think!
If they push it to the fourth movie, it's GOTTA be Tetra-Tetris.
How do you play Just Dance on your phone? That never made sense to me
Your phone is supposed to replace a Wii Remote.
ReasyRandom That makes sense.
I have questioned that as well, and don't feel like downloading it on my phone to find out..
Just dance now
Jr_Manits-Brigade i don't even find the sense to download it to a cell phone
The only time emojis were used without felling cringy is the Gumball episode The Romantic is because the episode mock the concept of emojis rather than using them to look cool.
I wonder if this movie would have been better if Alex was the focus. Like he had a personality, and the majority of the movie was him kind of having his life messed up because his phone keeps doing weird shit, with each weird thing explained by a sub plot of these incompetent emojis going through his phone for some good reason.
Like a scene of him failing a big project because he couldn't access his Dropbox due to being locked out for failed password attempts, shortly after the scene where they try to get into his Dropbox.
Or Candy Crush, which would be a generic unbranded game in a decent movie, for that matter Dropbox would be an unbranded Cloud storage app, starting up and making a lot of noise during class and getting him sent to detention
All culminating in him going for a factory reset while jean does his whole multi Emoji thing, and the factory reset sticks and everything is deleted, but Alex has a nice resolution because that last emoji does end up getting him the girl.
Holy shot how do comments have better ideas then an entire production team
Sony really needs to stop making animated films. The only one I liked was the first Hotel Transylvania because I personally found it very funny in parts but I'm not going to act like it broke any new ground, there's a ton of other movies I would watch before that one.
Alisha Dee HT2 wasn't that bad, either, but yeah. After Lord and Miller left post-Cloudy, Sony Pictures in general took a nosedive.
Agreed.
You didn’t like Surf’s Up?
Oh shit! I forgot they made that too. Okay, 2 movies I like from Sony.
I've been wondering if Sony isn't doing everything they can to tank their animation department. I'm not sure why, but maybe they hate the genre and don't want to make animated movies. Of course, this makes you shout, "Okay, so why did you start a animation department in the first place?!" and I still haven't come up with an answer yet. Maybe the only answer is "Cocaine. Lots and lots of it."
There’s a difference between criticism and hating in case the “fans” are confused.
Criticism is a way of stating your most honest opinion on a piece of creativity.
Hating is simply saying negative stuff regardless of whether most people find it good or not
The Emoji movie is not a movie. It is an insult to the modern generation and you wonder why it is heavily criticized.
In other words. Whoever actually likes this movie needs there reality checked
Your definition of "hating" seems to invalidate the fact that someone can honestly have a negative opinion of something and say so; just because someone's opinion is negative and at odds with the majority doesn't invalidate their opinion.
Not that the majority of people who actually saw this are defending it unironically, thank God.
Troodon I came back to this comment almost a year later and I cringed at my comment, it was very biased cause I hated it at the time. I still don’t like the movie. But whoever likes this I’ll respect their opinion
Also, Enter, I've been meaning to say this a while. You present your points about politically-charged topics incredibly well, and intelligently. The way you handle it demonstrates common sense, and is very good at getting across to people who wouldn't normally agree with you, instead of turning it into an intellectual deadlock where we just pick our sides and all that. It's extremely clear that our politics don't mesh. I'm very liberal, and very proud of it. But I find myself nearly always agreeing with the points you actually present, which isn't 'libruls are traitors', but 'regardless of your own opinions, this is a stupid and horrible way to convey your Message or whatever', etc.
You make good points not just here, but in other videos, about girl power shows that do it wrong, that TTG episode where the girls were 'superior', like, all over. You do a really good job with this stuff, and it's appreciated. Much respect for handling this sort of thing in a clear, honest, intelligent manner. Well, I guess that shouldn't be a shock, since you do that with everything, and while being clear-headed and reasonable, you're also hilarious and can get quite subjective and angry. When it's needed.
Like with this movie.
Fusilier What do you mean, "our politics don't mesh"? Did Mr. Enter indicate he was conservative?
No, he's said in one of his videos (I want to say his "Further Thoughts on the Goode Family") that he's pretty dead center, with the only real leaning being towards anti-authoritarian.
He also said in the same video that he is (or at least was at the time of the video) upset with the current behavior of the left, but that's pretty far from being conservative.
rjd1922 He is a Centralist, between both sides. He said it in his further thoughts on "The Goode Family."
I'm left leaning too but I don't remember Enter being all that right leaning to be honest.
@@brifox Yeah, but the left has become authoritarian to the max, so ofc they're going to accuse him of being conservative.
Saying "the animation is the best part of the emoji movie" is like calling someone "the cleanest junkie in Vegas".
Or saying "the coldest part of hell"
@@hanezutchins2786 + Queen Crab, well when you two put it that way...
I think this would be a good idea for a parody about how Hollywood would make a movie about anything. Or a kid friendly version of Black Mirror
*Anything: the Movie*
We **are** that desperate.
That opening though...
HoopsAndDinoMan its perfection
TheMysteriousMrEnter always start a movie review with a bang.
Yeah it was... interesting
But still it was AMAZING! 😍
Oh boy, the Nostalgia Critic's inevitable review of _The Emoji Movie_ should be fun...
*_[Cue the Critic going completely insane after the first 5 minutes]_*
Maximus4587 I think he didn't find it as bad as mrenter did. Speaking of - angry birds movie?
Adrian Pietkiewicz I thought it was ok tbh (I kid you not, but I hated the sequel)
The Emoji Movie was just run-of-the-mill bad to him, not the disasterpiece everyone says it is.
Well Enter went insane when seeing others shit on this movie which was BEFORE the actual review! Which makes sense considering that he has made over 100 Animated Atrocities videos.
Ugh, the less people compare him to NOSTALGIA CRITIC, the better! 😒
I am a firm believer that ALMOST ANY concept can work with enough good effort, marketing, love, and skill. The emoji movie could have been good, hell - it could have great, but there NO effort, love, and skill and WAAAYYY too much bad marketing, and that is just sad smdh.
Then you have way more faith in humanity than I ever have or will.
No, it couldn't have. A species capable of making a good movie out of the concept, wouldn't have come up with that concept.
Troodon If you want to see how it possibly could have worked, check out Bobsheaux's review of this "movie" as his ideas for an Emoji Movie are a million times better than the "film" we wound up getting...
+Troodon I sort of agree with both of you. Theoretically, this movie could have been made in such a way that it was good. However, any entity that would come up with the idea and not immediately say "eh, nah" is not capable of making such a film good.
The Emoji Movie could have been like Wreck it Ralph or Inside Out, what doomed it wasn't the concept but the execution. They didn't intend this to be a work of art or a good story, they intended it to be one long ad.
Honestly, I think the best comparison to the Emoji Movie is Captain Underpants. The concepts both sound extremely stupid. Both have extremely low budgets due to their studios being outsourced to smaller animation studios. Both rely on current culture and immature humor for their movies. The difference is execution (and the source material for Captain Underpants is really good). The Emoji movie is extremely pandering and rips a lot of other things off without actually trying. Captain Underpants actually tries and is a competent product.
I've never seen the Captain Underpants movie but I love the books.
Definitely see the movie then. It changes a few things, but it's pretty faithful and a really enjoyable movie.
Captain Underpants is surprisingly my favourite animated movie of the year (where I'm from, Coco doesn't come out until January)
Captain Underpants was one of the best animated movies I've seen this year. I haven't seen Coco yet, but I'm hoping it to be amazing
munromister777 Didn't Sony outsource it to their own animation studio?
The Emoji Movie, also known as How To Kill The Entertainment industry In About 114 Minutes.
Some would say that it's been a zombie for quite a while now. ^_^U
*+Kevin Anderson* Also known as "How to Lose an Audience in 10 Days".
How about, "What To Expect When Watching A Shitty Movie About Emojis."
This movie would have been much better if they focused on the destructive aspects of social media rather than shoving all of those unneeded advertisements. It could have been a good and educational movie this way.
They wouldn't dare make fun of those brands, because they're all about making advertisements into movies.
That would have made high school thots mad.
@@billymayo3640 who cares that they are mad
