this list we’re looking at Netflix
original films that fail to impress the
critics while the film’s overall score
or rating is important
the initial hype it was met with will
also be taken into account
Cornie that had an edge to it I’m sandy
Wexler Courtney nice to meet you
number 10 naked is the wedding tonight
No Oh drink won’t kill us after 50
shades of black and two haunted house
abominations is there anyone who still
looks forward to a Marlon Wayans movie
directed by Micheal Titus who also
worked on Wayans previous films Naked
sees the potentially charismatic actor
stuck in a Groundhog Day scenario as Rob
Anderson continuously wakes up naked in
an elevator on his wedding day sitting
at a resounding zero on Rotten Tomatoes
critics lambasted naked for the
derivative premise and playing it safe
despite the lowbrow concept Netflix
might have predicted a poor reception as
naked was barely marketed I’m sorry but
I didn’t hear what you said I’m just
trying not to look at your geo okay I
need a room key number nine the open
house how long did you say we’re gonna
be here for I don’t know you said that
I’d be back before graduation after a
family tragedy a mother and son move
into her sister’s vacant vacation house
but before long weird things start to
freak them out with such an original
premise the open house aimed to deliver
a similar thrill to something like The
Strangers while Dylan Minette and
pierc’d Alton delivers solid central
performances Netflix’s haunted house
horror film failed to impress critics
a slow burner the open house ended up
being tedious rather than intense and
struggled to differentiate itself from
older and better films the quiet out
here can get real loud by noon
number eight brain on fire real people
actually died from this I think I can
maybe get someone prosecuted I want to
help people based on Sue’s Anika Halen’s
mental illness memoir brain on fire
stars Chloe grace Moretz as the 21 year
old reporter whose life descends into
psychosis due to an undiagnosable
disease
directed by Gerard Barrett the Halen’s
story works better on the page than the
screen with Netflix’s medical drama
averaging a 5 out of 10 rating on Rotten
Tomatoes even if far from the worst
thing ever brain on fire garnered
criticism for weak characterization a
rushed ending and a lack of intrigue
rather than a fascinating look into a
woman’s battle with her own body brain
on fire is more of a house episode –
Hugh Laurie number 7 Crouching Tiger
Hidden Dragon Sword of Destiny heroes
but I feel a gentle soul may sleep
within sixteen years after the fact
Netflix’s maligned sequel feels more
like a poor man’s copy of angley’s
oscar-winning martial arts film rather
than a natural progression Michelle Yeoh
is joined by an entirely new cast as bad
people are once again after the Green
Destiny sword lacking Crouching Tiger
Hidden Dragon ‘he’s emotional wait yuna
whooping sequel seems happy to jump from
one set piece to the next without
challenging the cast’s motives sort of
destinies fight scenes are dragged down
by computer animation and the decision
to shoot in English instead of Mandarin
hurt the film’s authenticity such as
in the right hand number six the do-over
max why are you doing this so you could
start from scratch get a brand new life
Adam Sandler is back in on vacation in
Puerto Rico the second in a string of
Netflix exclusives the do overseas
Sandler’s arrogant max and david spade’s
depressed charlie faking their own
deaths to start a new life in paradise
clocking in at nearly two hours the
movie holds no surprises for anyone
familiar with Sandler’s recent output
okay Brad to yourself
killing that tiny elephant and putting
his tusks in your nose real tough
detested nearly across the board by
critics Netflix’s comedy sees the
Saturday Night Live alumni close to
their absolute worst packed with sexist
overtones and R rated but humorless gags
the do-over has Sandler repeating the
same mistakes found in his previous
number five true memoirs of an
international assassin paul blart mall
cop just got a promotion true memoirs of
an international assassin centers around
Kevin James Sam Larson who’s a bumbling
middle-aged accountant and fiction
writer who dreams of superstardom in
order to ramp up publicity
Sam’s publisher rebrands the writer spy
thriller as a nonfiction memoir leading
to Andy Garcia hiring Kevin James to
kill the president of Venezuela yet to
receive a positive review by
professional critics true memoirs plot
goes through the motions and overstays
its welcome
while not outright hated by reviewers
James spy spoof failed to leave much of
an impression I’m sorry who are you DEA
number four right from all the Netflix
originals
David airs fantastical buddy cop drama
experienced the biggest dissonance
between viewers and critics set in an
alternate reality where humans live
alongside orcs elves and fairies bright
sees Will Smith and joel edgerton coming
together to protect a young female elf
ambitious but flawed professionals
criticized bright for failing to
adequately blend its mishmash of genres
and for the story shallow social
commentary as Netflix already confirmed
that David Ayer is working on a sequel
brights critical reception barely seems
to have made a difference I can tell you
to time let’s go
number three the Cloverfield paradox in
a move that’s equal parts inspired and
idiotic Netflix announced the next
addition to the Cloverfield saga on the
film’s release date following two highly
rated entries in the series the
Cloverfield paradox holds more in common
with alien than the original
found-footage horror film or 2016’s
claustrophobic sequel set in deep space
and featuring a great cast the
Cloverfield paradox is twists failed to
surprise critics resulting in mostly
negative reviews for Netflix is thriller
only loosely connected to the first film
paradox stuck too close to Shara
conventions to really stand out the OVA
noted none of us believed it was real
but this is the paradox excuse me number
two Death Note whatever can I do with
this death no previous knowledge of the
source material is not required it only
serves to worsen the experience of this
flick based on Tsugumi ovas manga and
madhouses
anime Netflix’s Death Note switches the
setting from Japan to America and dumbs
down the original once again light finds
a mystical notebook that grants the
power to kill anyone by scribbling their
name inside I just saw you dies you obey
me those are the rules squandering a
fantastic turn by Willem Dafoe Death
Note was largely greeted with a shrug by
critics who questioned the film’s tonal
shifts and unfocused presentation
averaging of 41 percent on Rotten
Tomatoes the film had the potential to
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some dishonorable mentions the
Automator a man bill like world owes you
something so much better
but you live pretty good life I love
your abs Sam I’ve loved you since I
getting to the beginning this is Frank
Bonneville live from Quito okay good I
think we need more information cuz I’m
pretty sure sand isn’t a big problem in
leave it to Adam Sandler to burst
Netflix’s bubble release during a time
that the streaming service was mostly
known for high quality series and
documentaries the ridiculous six is a
combination of Sandler’s worst
tendencies lasting a heartbreaking two
hours Netflix’s western spoof received
nothing but terrible reviews and marks
arguably the lowest point in the
company’s short history I was just
trying to knock him out labeled lazy
boring and just plain offensive critics
could not seem to find a single positive
compliment to throw in even the general
direction of the film as Netflix is
first feature-length comedy this
trainwreck set the bar painfully low do
