Biggest Surprises & Disappointments of 2024...Thus Far 

There’s nothing that was more disappointing than Megamind 2.

Sean, ive been watching your videos for about 6-7 years, from being akid watching to going into my junior year of highschool, i have found a new love for cinema and movies, and I realize it all started with you, I admire you, you've stayed consistent all these years, and that is what I admire the most, I love the content, and videos, please keep it going, I will never stop watching. ❤

The Fall Guy was easily the biggest surprise of the year for me. I loved it! The 3rd act was just fun, the whole movie was fun. It made me laugh, the action was awesome, and all the BTS angles with stunt men were insightful as we never get to see stuff like that. Disappointed it isn’t doing all that well, absolutely check it out if you haven’t seen it, just a fun time at the movies. That being said, I was also blown away by how good Late Night with the Devil was. I know people hate on it because of the AI usage, but at its core it is a very unique and compelling film with a great performance by David Dastmalchian. I was worried after first hearing about it, but I love how your basically viewing a talk show, such a fresh take with a horror film.

I’d say the biggest surprise was inside out 2, I didn’t think it would be as good as it was (since I was extremely worried about it) Most disappointing was kung fu panda 4 imo

9:00 That was a clip from 'Immaculate' 😂.

I love the Beekeeper

For disappointments, they would have to be Kung Fu Panda 4, Maboroshi, and Argylle for me. I was really looking forward to these, but they weren’t really enjoyable for me, or just slightly enjoyable when I expected more from them. For surprises, it’s gotta be Robot Dreams, Hundreds of Beavers, Ultraman Rising, Furiosa, and Abigail. I wasn’t really looking forward to Furiosa given it was without Max, but it really was phenomenal. I also don’t enjoy much horror, but Abigail hit the spot. It was very very good 👍

My biggest surprise of the year? My mom thought Frozen Empire was better than Afterlife. In all seriousness though, she does have her reasons, and that’s not really a movie. The real biggest surprise of the year for me was Inside Out 2. I loved the first Inside Out, but with the statements that Pixar has said about sequels and remakes, it made me very nervous for their future, and I was scared that this would be an early representation of what that could look like. However, it ended up being in my top ten favorite Pixar movies! It was just refreshing to feel that magic that old Pixar had, and it had a wonderful message to send to people my age. This movie will probably be in my top ten for the year. For the biggest disappointment, I don’t think there could be any answer other than Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate. The film was pure garbage that didn’t make sense and felt designed for the audience of Cocomelon. It is truly heartbreaking how Megamind, a brilliant film that was far ahead of its time, was turned into baby food. 💔

Surprise-Argylle Disappointment-Ghostbusters Frozen Empire

Biggest surprise: The Bikeriders, wasn't expecting to fall in love with Austin Butler and Tom Hardy's characters the way I did. Biggest disappointment: Godzilla x Kong New Empire, the movie was surprisingly boring and the humans felt useless in this film unlike Godzilla vs Kong.

Ordinary Angels was definitely an emotional surprise.

Biggest Surprises for me so far would be: Challengers Boy Kills World The Beekeeper The First Omen Babes Biggest Disappointments for me so far would be: Argylle The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare IF

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire very much is like Iron Man 2 where there’s a solid idea there but it needed more time to be developed and Jason losing his dad Ivan definitely would affect him developing a follow up to Afterlife

Surprises: Furiosa, Fall Guy and Love Lies Bleeding Disappointing: Argylle, Ghostbusters and A quiet Place 3

My 10 Most Disappointing films of the Year (so far) are 1-Argyille 2-Unfrosted 3-The Strangers; chapter 1 4-Sasquatch Sunset 5-Megamind vs. the Doom Synidicate 6-Founder's Day 7-The Greatest Hits 8-Rebel Moon-part 2 9-Irish Wish 10-First Time Female Director My Top 10 Surprises of the Year (so far) 1-Late Night with the Devil 2-Scrambled 3-Thelma 4-The Idea of You 5-The Beekeeper 6-Musica 7-Upgraded 8-Ordinary Angels 9-Turtles All The Way Down 10-Thelma the Unicorn

Got watch “Reverse the Curse”. It’s a dramedy that I got wind of on Prime as a rental. It’s directed by David Duchovny who’s adapting his own novel.

Disappointments: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Kung Fu Panda 4 Hit Man Civil War Surprises: The Beekeeper Am I OK? The First Omen

Ranking Jason Statham films would be so cool!! Great video! Always good bro!

11:41 yeah, just took most of its inspiration from the final destination

Surprises: The Beekeeper Lisa Frankenstein Cabrini (Not even close to my type of movie, but I loved it) Late Night with The Devil Arcadian I Saw the TV Glow Diappointments: Madame Web Argylle Tarot Runaway Dolls Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Hey Sean, have you seen a Quiet Place: day one yet I'm seeing the film tonight

Sean Chandler when are you going to put time stamps in your videos?

Argylle was a surprise for me, mainly because all the bad reviews. I really enjoyed it

Surprises: Scoop Marmalade The Underdoggs (I thought it was gonna be god awful but i it ended up being fine) Disappointments: maboroshi (really wanted to love it but it was just average) Kung Fu Panda 4

To me my big surprise was the beekeeper I couldn’t believe how much I loved it. My biggest disappointment was the strangers chapter one

Have you seen kalki 2898 AD?

I Pretty Much Think That Ultraman Rising Is The Only Surprising Movie For Me Since Im Not Like A Huge Ultraman Fan, Im A Godzilla Kong Kaiju Fan But Only Know Him As A Character So This Is My 1st Ultraman Movie I Saw And It Was Great XD

I heard dev Patel sustained multiple injuries while filming monkey man. Really put his body on the line and while I didn’t see it I can at least respect the effort he put into the film. I wanna watch it I just haven’t got a chance to yet

I just really want Mathew Vaughan to gain little bit more focus on his Kingsman franchise because i think it has potential. Im very excited for the Sequel to the Prequel THE KINGS MAN still but id also like to know whats happening with Kingsman 3 and the Statesmen

Checkout 'Avesham' (2024) it's bonkers, For me it is the best movie of 2024, In terms of entertainment value.

I was disappointed by Unfrosted, because it really seemed fun and it ended up being pretty bad, and Argylle, which wasn't bad, but it could've been a lot better. The plot was just kind of odd. I was surprised by If, which I thought was really good, and The Fall Guy, which I thought was awesome and was only expecting to be pretty good.

I haven't seen all the films on your list but the ones I have, I agree with EXCEPT.... Ther First Omen. The original is in my top 10 horrors ever. But to me it was soooooooo boring. Took every effort not to switch off but I paid for it so suffered to the end.

Surprises: Challengers Furiosa The Fall Guy Dune 2 Disappointments: Kung Fu Panda 4 Megamind 2 Madame Web Bob Marley One Love Garfield Argylle The Beekeeper

Civil War and Furiosa surprised me. I can’t think of any movies that out right disappointed me

Waiting for your kalki review.

I was mixed on Argyle

Bro please review kalki 2898 ad. It is recently released

I already know what’s going to be the number one disappointment.

The biggest disappointment of 2024? No extinction-level asteroid.

Biggest disappointment for me is Ghostbusters and Argylle, sigh 😔 Biggest surprise for me is Boy Kills World, I freakin love this blood bath action flick! 😃

Surprises: Quiet Place Day One Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Fall Guy Disappointments: Night Swim Knuckles Echo

Watch kalki and update your list

I’ve only seen three movies this year so far that I’ve enjoyed. IF, Mean Girls Musical, and Inside Out 2. I enjoy every movie. But, I have to admit that I really wanted to see IF go in the direction of seeing imaginary friends get adopted rather than it actually turning out that the imaginary friends have to return to their original owners. I don’t know much about the actual Mean Girls Musical on Broadway. But, from what I’ve read on the internet from people who’ve seen the actual Broadway musical. It makes me feel disappointed that it didn’t turn out as good as that musical. Obviously nothing can actually beat out the original.🤩😂😅 I was hoping that Inside Out 2 will do great and not be another sequel disappointment. Especially since Disney and Pixar had actually finally decided to keep it in theaters for 100 straight days before it goes into streaming. Yet, I never expected it to be so good that it beats out The Mario Movie! That’s a surprise in my book and it did surprise me for how incredibly good it was too! I’m a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan! So I cannot wait for Sonic Movie 3!🤩 I even high hopes for Wicked and Moana 2 as well! EEP!🤩

My biggest disappointment this year so far was the new ultraman movie. My surprising movie is spaceman

Biggest surprises Ezra The Bikeriders The Watchers Immaculate Abigail Biggest dissapointments Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire The first omen Hit man

12:25 i honestly don't get the hate. This was really funny. Better than most comedies these days. Plus its jerry Seinfeld

Sean, why don’t you use Letterboxd?

Surprises: Argylle, Fighter, and Unsung Hero Disappointments: Bob Marley: One Love, Godzilla X Kong (didn't hate it just a let down from the trailers)

Biggest surprise for me was Abigail and the biggest letdown was probably Atlas.

My pick for the most disapponiting movie of 2024 is Despicable me 4

Biggest Surprises: 1. The First Omen 2. Furiosa 3. Argylle 4. Immaculate 5. Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey II 6. Bad Boys: Ride or Die Biggest Disappointments: 1. Abigail 2. In a Violent Nature 3. Late Night With the Devil 4. The Strangers: Chapter 1

Surprises: Winnieh Pooh 2 The Fall Guy Disapointments: - Ghostbusters Frozen Empire - Madame Web (I didnt expect anything from megamind 2 after that horrible Trailer, therefore I couldnt get disapointed)

For the rebel moon movies I'm not gonna watch the PG-13 cuts that came out on netflix I'm just gonna wait until the Rated R director's cuts come out and see them because I'm sure those ones will be better than the PG-13 ones. Also people that were disappointed by the PG-13 cuts I wouldn't be too disappointed by it because we still have the director's cuts coming out.

After watching A Quiet Place, that movie was kind of a disappointment for me.

Monkey man would’ve been an incredible film, but that second act is just not very good. It brings the film to a screeching halt and it’s so boring until the last 20 minutes. Which is so frustrating because I was all in in the first act.

It makes me sad to say that Kung Fu Panda 4 is my biggest disappointment of the year. This film was easily one of my most anticipated 2024 films. All the fans were SO excited. But in the end it had nothing special or interesting about it. It wasted everything and it has no reason to exist. No furious five was just unforgivable and instantly makes the film weak. Casting bloody Akwiafina AGAIN, as the new dragon warrior, of all characters. It doesn't have the same, magic, flair and humor as the other three. And then the villains return, which was cool, but its so hard to believe its actually them because they act insanely out of character. Shen and Kai dont have a single word of dialogue, no fight scenes. Tai Lung had lines but still acted out of character. All three villains literally bow down to Po in respect and they're all happy to go back to the spirit realm. They dont jump at the chance to escape and fight Po. All three of them tried to kill Po. Like wtf? Not realistic at all. Its hard to believe this film is canon. If the furious five were in the film, if Tai lung or tigress became the new dragon warrior and if the villains acted in character, the movie would have been amazing

The Fall Guy was a small disappointment, but still great, and the Monkey Man was a huge disappointment for me, being nothing like anybody was claiming it to be.

Sean idk if you know but you have 2 holes on the collar of your shirt.

Most disappointing: Kung Fu Panda 4 Most Surprising: The Beekeeper

Just got out of Kalki 2898 AD. I would say that was disappointing for me. It felt so much like all these other sci-fi films I’ve watched with the only other thing to offer being slow motion. It was better than Rebel Moon though, but still disappointed after seeing all the hype.

Biggest disappointments for me would be Argylle, Civil War, Spaceman, and The Bikeriders. Argylle was way too goofy and meta for me and it was paired with some bad cgi. Civil War is the movie I enjoyed the most out of these, but my expectations got the best of me because I was hoping to enjoy it more than I actually did. Everything about Spaceman was extremely forgettable other than the Adam Sandler performance and visuals at the end. The Bikeriders felt very generic at the end of the day, and while the performances were great I didnt feel like the characters were all that interesting.

Madame Web is my only disappointment. It looked more interesting and comeptently made than it actually was. No surprises though.

Most surprising: In A Violent Nature Most disappointing: Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes

Argylle is my worst movie. I was with it for the first 90 minutes. Not the best movie, but having fun. Then, the last 45 minutes, with plot twist after plot twist after plot twist, sometimes a plot twist 30 seconds after another plot twist, I ended up hating it. In the last 45 minutes, the only thing making me happy was the use of The Beatles' Now and Then.

Biggest Surprise: Bad Boys 4 Biggest Disappointment: Furiosa (I wanted to love it) Edit: Kinds of Kindness is my biggest disappointment

Surprise = Bad Boys Ride Or Die . That film was so much fun. Disappointment Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. Boring and dull

Biggest surprises: 5. Blood & Honey 2 4. Furiosa 3. The Fall Guy 2. Inside Out 2 1. The First Omen Disappointments of the year: 5. Hit Man 4. Mean Girls 3. Megamind vs the doodoo 2. Argylle 1. Rebel Moon part 2: The Shitgiver

ACOLYTE

Thelma. Best surprise of 2024.

I'm surprised Rebel Moon wasn't on here. Zack Snyder had a second chance and he fumbled it worse.

Furiosa was super disappointing

Fantastic four is going to suck

Surprises: Inside Out 2 Knuckles IF Winnie dah Pooh 2 Disappointments: Furiosa Garfield (it was good though) Megamind 2 (burn! burn! BURN!!!!) Unsure: Kung Fu Panda 4

I have a hot take for you all. I think that Game of Thrones season 8 is good Yes episode 4 is the worst and the ending is slightly rushed but it doesn't deserve the amount of hate it gets is unwarranted

The Fall guys Video game was better

Biggest surprise and disappointing sean chandler videos of 2024

Winnie the Pooh blood and honey is better than dune

He is wrong. Madame Web is not a disappointment. It got unnecessary hate
