This has to pertain to movies I've actually seen, so if I have not, it's not counted.
Inside Out 2. Toned down on the 'she might be bi' narrative, the sequel take the kid to summer camp. Excellent movie.
The Wild Robot. Original idea about an accidental mother, er robot, and her gosling special son, and her adoptive 'husband' a wily fox. Not as ridiculous as it sounds, and has an A plus message.
Transformers One. The fans were not clamoring for yet another origin movie, but this one is all about Optimus and Megatron's falling out. It's a love letter to the MUSH fans who wanted a fully cast robot movie with no humans. Misses the mark in sales, but it still is a very good film, more so than Rise of the Beasts was.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. A sequel we might not have needed, repeats jokes, and spends way too long on a joke about MacArthur Park at the end, but really an okay movie.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Hundreds of years after the other films, a young ape must rise and defeat the cruel master of a fortified dam left over from the age of humans. Not a bad one.
Godzilla x Kong. Latest in the American version of the series, introducing a very gay Aussie, and a convenient dental scene, and another replacement robotic arm scene, both for Kong but not much for Godzilla, and some pretty silly team up battles. Eh. Turn your brain off it's fun.
Dune part 2. The super condensed version of the second half of the Dune legend, a very good movie, but not for everyone.
Bad Boys Ride or Die. It's like Bad Boys 4 Life, but not the title, with the wise cracking buddies trying to bust a cartel. Eh, it was okay.
Axel F. Netflix film has Axel going to LA after 30 years to reconcile with his daughter, and rescue his old buddy from a cartel. Meh.
Rebel Moon 1 and 2. The razzies for sure. Zack Snyder's Star Wars takes the unlucky dirty dozen clones, and then magnificent seven clones (as a few die), on a space adventure with ham fisted villains and ridiculous forced narrative about a farming planet, in space, where they could easily find any planet to farm and would not need that lame moon.
I did not see Argylle, Madam Web, Venom the Last Dance or a slew of others.
Did not see Prey the Predator prequel.
Alien Romulus. Member Berries about other Alien movies take over an otherwise okay story about half way in and never let go. Haunted space station could have worked. Almost does.
Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. Taking place years after the sappy ending one, the story follows a reintroduction of the ghost corps and the meticulously rebuilt firehouse at Pinewood, but does very little to earn the chills when the ice villain is stopped by lighting a match. Really. A nod to the animated series is nice, but it did not have to end like a cartoon.
Furiosa A Mad Max saga. Yet another Hollywood does a prequel because we need an origin, but this time from Australia, so sort of not Hollywood, but same idea.Unnecessary remake. Not as much fun as Fury Road. An okay movie.
Deadpool and Wolverine. Fun member berry movie about why the last phase sucks, but has to be reliant on those who know the material to even work. Sure it's a funny movie, but it lacks originality. Enjoyed it but not going to give it best. Best Marvel movie of the year. Oh, but there was only one.
Not going to see the US remake of The Killer. No. Bad idea.
Did not see IF or Imaginary, both similar but with one being comedy and the other horror.
Did not see Megalopolis because I could not find it playing near me.
Joker Folie a Deux. The deconstruction of the fake Joker and the imitation of Harley Quinn. The very essence of an unnecessary sequel, if just to piss off the fans. I wasn't mad. I was just disappointed. And bored. So it's not a razzie.
