Top 20 Worst Films Of 2019

Where 2018 as a year was characterised by filmmakers looking back on the past and seeing where they could improve, 2019 was characterised by filmmakers looking back and seeing how much worse they could do. The main theme with the worst of 2019 was films that made me look at films I had written off years ago as bad ideas, and making me realise I didn’t know how good I had it because the new take is that much worse. These are the films that defied the prevailing sense of disappointment that populated the rest of the year, but only because the main response was “how did you screw up this badly?!” Strap in for some raw anguish fuel as I count down the top 20 worst films of 2019.

One of the main things that keeps me going whenever I’m covering less-than-ideal features on this blog is the notion that, regardless of anything else, bad movies tend to give me plenty of material to write about. No matter how unpleasant a film may be to sit through in the moment, there’s always the chance for written catharsis afterwards. However, there is such a thing as giving me too much material. I mean, this is a family film made to cash in on the success of the LEGO movies, itself based on a counterpart to the LEGO toy system. I get the feeling that any remarks I have about how cheap this thing is will only be playing into the obvious, but trust me, there’s a whole lot else that’s wrong with this thing.
