Crappy film

A different way of telling a story

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I don't understand why everyone hates it so much. I just took it for what it was. It was a cute little story. I think people were expecting like Sausage Party which I couldn't even finish watching but I digress. I could watch this movie over again. It was kind of funny too.

Need I say more!? The Emoji Movie is shockingly bad cinema; it's at its most cynical, most worthless and talent-less and non-creative husk from Hollywood's creative toilet. The story is EVERY goddamn hero's-journey based Disney PIXAR movie ever freakin' made except there's no surprising twist to the formula, no subversion of expectations (besides being more worthless from its already cynical circumstances); it copies Roger Rabbit, Toy Story, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Muppet Movie, Wreck it Ralph, The LEGO Movie, except its lack of originality makes it absolutely abysmal stuff right from the get go. Also, they aborted a potentially GREAT Popeye movie for THIS!? I can't believe it!The fact that this joke of a film was commissioned over one of animation's greatest heroes whom eats Spinach makes the existence of The Emoji Movie all the more painful in itself. They pushed the Popeye movie aside for this is just unacceptable: in every sense of the word; they commissioned a film based around phone icons over a cinematically PROVEN property like Popeye, which they could have subverted the values of the 1930s with a more modern twist, shows that Emoji movie was not only too 'easy' and too lazy an idea because it's ONLY a currently relevant thing that somehow got turned into THIS cinematic suicide.In the end this steaming turd won the Razzie for Worst Picture anyway; so there's that. It deserved it.P.S. Hopefully Sony Pictures animation can redeem itself with Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Doesn't seem they can set the bar any lower than The Emoji Movie though.

The Emoji Movie (2017) 1/2 (out of 4)Gene is a young emoji who is expected to be his "blah" self but he doesn't want to do that so he sets out to try and free himself to where he can be whatever emoji he wants.THE EMOJI MOVIE pretty much got a hefty beating even before it got released. The early reviews were beyond awful and many called the film one of the worst ever made. The film would still get a theatrical release but even the normal family friendly folks were pretty harsh on it. Sadly, my 2-year-old daughter loves to watch the film so I've had to sit there and cringe as she laughs.I must admit that I'm going to join the group of people who thinks this is a truly awful movie. One of the worst movies ever made? I wouldn't say that but I will say that it's one of the very worst animated movies ever made and in fact it might be the very worst that I've seen. As of writing this, I can't think one of animated movie that I have hated more than this one.There's no doubt that the biggest issue with this movie is the writing. The screenplay is deadly dull and it pretty much hits every cliche that you'd expect from an animated movie. The animation business is really booming now with some terrific and original films but this here is not it. THE EMOJI MOVIE really comes across as something no one put any effort into because they knew they could release it and the thing would make money.The only good thing that can be said about the picture is that the animation is wonderful. With that said, the rest of the movie is just pure boredom that has one awful joke after another and the characters are beyond lame and boring.

I saw this movie a year ago and it was pretty good the plot was filled with twists the writing was pretty clever the jokes are original and the cinematic work is outstanding if i were to see this movie again i would do it overall it has everything to dark moments to happy moments this needs a sequel fast.
