[Music]
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
taking a look at movies audiences widely
criticized before they even got a chance
to see them while a few of these went on
to achieve critical success once they
actually came out we’re mainly focusing
on the initial backlash that predated
their release number 10 Jack and Jill
we shared mom’s womb we will remain
although a lot of his work is falling
flat fans still hold onto the hope that
Adam Sandler will make a comeback after
the trailer for Jack and Jill came out
however even Sandler’s most devoted
followers felt that he was about to hit
a new low oh please tell me you don’t be
a bit the idea of Sandler playing a man
and his twin sister sounded incredibly
lazy on paper
Jill’s aggravating accent and Al
Pacino’s inexplicable presence didn’t
make people any more optimistic all
copies destroy them Jack and Jill look
so awful that South Park actually called
it out months in advance and few would
disagree with their assessment Adam
Sandler is Jack Adam Sandler is Jill
number nine battleship light him up when
news broke that a battleship ruby was in
development audiences were convinced
that Hollywood had run out of ideas the
original board game doesn’t have any
established characters or story so what
could you possibly adapt for that matter
why spent over 200 million dollars doing
it people only became more skeptical
once became clear that the film was
basically just going to be transformers
at sea the only selling point the movie
had going for it was that director Peter
Berg was reteaming with some of his
Friday Night Lights alumnae nevertheless
audiences still jumped ship long before
it set sail
they ain’t gonna sink this battleship no
way yeah number eight Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles are you well miss we’re
ninjas of mutants Michael Bay’s
involvement was already enough to prompt
protest but announcing that the mutated
turtles would actually be avians only
made things worse dad insult injury
caucasian actor william fichtner was
cast as the shredder a character
typically portrayed as asian due to the
negative response the film enjoyed some
reshoots with Fichtner z’ character
being downgraded to a supporting villain
and japanese actor two.hoorah Masamune
playing the shredder enough to listen is
over as for the turtles the whole alien
thing was dropped with the backlash even
being referenced in the finished film so
they’re aliens
no that’s stupid they’re reptiles
despite the changes fans still manage to
find something to hate wonky ass
character designs number seven the
amazing spider-man OpenNet all right
it’s completely acceptable to reboot a
popular film franchise after an
appropriate amount of time has passed
the fans
five years was not the appropriate
amount people simply weren’t that
interested in seeing another origin
story especially since the 2002 film was
barely a decade old the amazing
spider-man just looked like Sony’s
shameless attempt to keep the film
rights tangled in their web meanwhile
fans desperately wanted to see Spidey
team-up with the Avengers and this
reboot seemed to confirm that it would
never happen unfortunately
spider-man would get a proper homecoming
later down the line a short cut number
six The Last Airbender you are my
prisoner airbender fans of the hit
animated series had plenty to dread with
this live-action adaptation the show
left little room for improvement and
condensing a season’s worth of episodes
into 100 minutes didn’t sound like a
very good idea either it also didn’t
help that director M night Shyamalan was
fresh off critical does like lady in the
water and the happening I don’t think
that’s a good idea
in a particularly controversial move
hardly any actress of Asian descent were
cast in major roles despite the fact
that the source material grew from
Eastern philosophies and culture all of
this had people certain that the ember
island players could put on a better
show
number five ghost in the shell’ my name
is Mitra Mara Kilian and I gave my
consent to delete this data 2017 s ghost
in the shell’ adaptation was bombarded
with whitewashing accusations from the
moment Scarlett Johansson was cast in
the lead role of course where The Last
Airbender was based on an American show
ghost in the shell’ stem from a Japanese
manga and anime making the early outrage
even more passionate maybe next time you
can design me better while most people
agree that Johansson is a fine actress
this was a golden opportunity for the
studio to shine a spotlight on an actor
of Asian heritage but they took the
so-called safe route instead if the
filmmakers couldn’t get the casting
right fans had little reason to believe
they could do the material justice
nothing I have is real number for Fifty
Shades of Grey
look at me I am long before the film
adaptation Fifty Shades of Grey had
already gained an infamous reputation in
the literary world while author EL James
had written a trilogy of best-selling
books they weren’t exactly viewed as
high art critics almost universally
panned the erotic romance novels for the
OneNote characters and laughable
dialogue writer but bucks
so when the film moved towards
production the haters were ready to rip
the movie a new one which ironically it
probably wanted on top of that the film
inspired protests based on the
assumption that it encouraged physical
abuse promoted pornography and depicted
BDSM in an inaccurate light laters baby
number three Death Note you’re the one
who flew into the Sun I’m just here to
make sure you actually burn if we’ve
learned anything today it’s that not
every anime or manga needs to Hollywood
treatment but if you proceed then maybe
cast some Japanese actors in the lead
roles 2017 s Death Note fell into an
all-too-familiar trap enlisting mostly
Caucasian actors and changing the
setting from Japan
to America whatever can do with this
death No what exactly did you have in
mind while the trailer wasn’t without
some cool imagery fans were convinced
that the final product would lack the
depth of its source material playing out
more like a horror flick riddled with
teen angst we’d say the film was dead on
arrival but it was arguably dead before
even leaving the station
number two the emoji movie do we really
need to explain why people weren’t eager
to see this one granted sometimes even
the dumbest ideas can produce something
smart original and even groundbreaking
once the trailer for the emoji movie hit
though audiences knew what they were
going to get a lame cash grab that
ripped off the lego movie wreck-it Ralph
and various other animated features
Merry Christmas
it’s still September Tim just a few days
before its release the film country more
bad press kept on tweeting and
advertisement that parodied The
Handmaid’s Tale given that show subject
matter son called the tweet tasteless
while others were left asking what’s the
joke sooo good news before we get to our
topic here are a few honorable or in
this case dishonorable mentions the
guardian Knights are going to kill me
Oh sham needs a woman a real woman he
should have a family I can’t give any
thought to him number one
ghostbusters let’s light him up since
the original Ghostbusters is a comedy
classic this reboot was bound to
generate a few preconceived notions fans
were upset that it wasn’t a sequel with
the original actors reprising their
roles killing any hope for ghostbusters
3 they also took issue with the movie’s
theatrical title which made no effort to
distinguish itself from its 1984
predecessor meanwhile others shunned the
film for having an all-female cast and
now they’re making Ghostbusters with
only women what’s going on in the midst
of all the criticism and controversy the
trailer for Ghostbusters became the most
disliked film preview on YouTube
ultimately people didn’t answer the call
for a variety of different reasons
