So here it is, the emoji movie. I realise videos like this are kind of a combination of I HATE and TSFTW but I figured the HATE was grand enough for this movie that it just had to be done. Apologies for the visuals at points, I didn't always have the proper clips available because it's still in theatres. I hope you enjoy!
If Alex wasn't having a conversation with the girl, and he was just picking a single emoji to send her, why did he choose meh? Who sends their crush a meh with no context?
This adds to my notion that Smiler and Meh should have been swapped. It could’ve conveyed a message about how people are forced to hide their sadness and other negative emotions as that’s seen as weak. If they wanted to have a feminist message then it could’ve work with smiley and being her being forced to “smile” it’s not the subtlest but it’s more subtle than this. Also meh as a villain would’ve worked better as 1. Unemotional sociopathic villains are quite scary. 2. He would’ve conveyed the point about emotional repression better as he fails to emote to stick with the code. You could add the plot point about meh using code to lock his emotions as a backstory. I’m just saying :3 (Emoticons are better)
T.J. Miller seems serious about his commitment to the film but then again T.J. Miller is also a massive unfunny twat and this video displays that quite well.
Fun fact: In Polish version of "Emoji movie" main characters are voiced by famous Polish "RU-vidrs and Internet celebrities". It makes it even worse! :(
I know Patrick Stewart is only working now to put away money for his family, so when he says "I have been preparing for this role all my life" with a straight face, it reminds me of what a great actor he can be.
"alex needs to find a phone shop to reset his phone" you can litterally open the settings to to general and swipe down and theres a giant button saying RESET is this movie REALLY that stupid?
I love how he has filmed the beginning of this video that shows the long 3-hour journey to the theater, and after that, I'm sure he was thinking "Why did I journey this far to watch this disastrous film?" 🤦🏻♂️
15:48 I’ve also noticed that during crappy kids movies, the adults tend to laugh a lot. My three theories are: 1) They have an awful sense of humor. 2) They’re laughing to show their kid “Hey - look! This is funny! Laugh at haha-funny-humor!” 3) They’re subconsciously laughing through the pain.
I love how there's no opinion disclaimer at the beginning of this video like the rest of them because there is no one who could possibly disagree with this
João Martins are you implying that I was being sarcastic or that I found this movie funny (I was actually complimenting Star Wars nerds and this movie is fucking pathetic)
"Women are always coming up with stuff that men take credit for" "Words aren't cool." "I like how you're one of those guys that can express his feelings." This is *dialogue* written for a *film*
@@PastelFire99 "women are always inventing stuff men take credit for" sounds really weird just language-vise, "men always take credit for things women invent" sounds a lot better

Ah yes, the kid has the beat the evil reverse dab villain, but he gets out dabbed and is eventually defeated and banish from the Dab Country. On his own, he travels the earth in search of the perfect dab, only to have our lord and savior Jake Paul ascend from the God Church heaven and teach the young child the art of the dab. Then at climax of the movie the kid comes back and ready to dab in ways he's never dabbed before, and he and the villain go into one epic battle. And once the dust is clear, the villain will be dead and the protagonist will dab on his coffin at the funeral. The end.
The emoji movie was playing on the hospital tv while I was in the hospital with severe Covid 19. I will never not associate the Emoji movie with sickness and fearing for my life.
I don't wanna make a joke out of that cause I feel like I'm gonna be seen as a disrespectful person (and beleve me that's not what I'm trying to do) but that's hilarious.
Sony also made Spider-Man: Homecoming (co-production with Disney) and Blade Runner 2049 (Sony production) the exact same year The Emoji Movie came out. What’s tragic is that The Emoji Movie was a success financially despite being one of the worst films of all time while Blade Runner 2049 ended up bombing at the box office despite being one of the best films and one of the best sequels of all time. And Ghostbusters 2016 and The Emoji Movie are beat by The Last of Us Part II for the title of “Most Hated Sony Product” but I liked The Last of Us Part II.
How is that not feminist, though? I mean, yeah, it's hypocritical of the movie to imply that being with a man is antifeminist only to have a guy and a girl hook up at the end, but you could've made that more clear, instead of just saying "powerful feminist messages".
I went to watch this by myself thinking i'll have a good laugh. I come in and see a room full of adults and some children. Everyone adult there enjoyed the movie so much it was scary. At the end I hear this one family talking about the movie. They ask their 8 year old (he was about 8, no way he was more than 10 years old) "did you like the movie." The dad then says: "it was so much fun", and the kid says in the most bored voice ever: "mum, can we get money back if I slept most of the movie and didn't see it." It was the first time in those 90 minutes that I laughed.
I really hope you guys don't actually think Shaym here actually likes this. Calling someone a 'token _____' is an insult-- essentially saying that the only reason that they're there is because they're ______. For example, a lot of movies do this with minorities, making 'token' characters to appease that group when, really, that group probably doesn't care at all.
"there was a kid next to me who just started singing out of nowhere. not singing along to the movie, he was just sort of singing to himself. i think he was bored." *edit:* why does this have so many likes lol
Patrick Stewart on playing Poop: "I'm playing a role that I think I have been preparing to play most of my life." What a fucking legendary troll holy shit. Patrick Stewart is AMAZING.
I love how sony went from making the worst movie of all time like the emoji movie then making spider man into the spider verse which is one of the greatest spider man movies of all time
Sony can be downright JAW-DROPPING when they have their good people on a project. Spider-Verse and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 1&2 were freaking amazing. If they stuck with those guys, they'd have a much better reputation.
Smiler isn't necessarily the Villain. She's doing her job trying to keep all the Emojis alive. Gene is the actual Villain by putting all those lives at risk without any thought or care about the dangers/consequences of his actions.
The thing is that weird things always get attention. Examples: *Emoji movie *Elon Musk's baby name *Sonic the movie awful character *Tik Tok(maybe idk) *RU-vid rewind 2018/2019 *etc, you get the point
The Popeye movie wasn't cancelled in favor for this one. It was because of the Sony hacking by North Korea in 2014 and creative differences between Genndy and Sony.
number of times I laughed in this movie: 0 number of times I cried because of emotions in the movie: 0 number of times I cried because of sheer incompetence and a bad movie: 10 or something I dunno, probably more
10/10 Very relatable Great characters. Loved the soundtrack. Great screenplay, editing, and acting. One of the best films of the year But enough about Lady Bird. Emoji Movie was awful.
I've never seen the movie, but I'm pretty amazed that it's rated lower than fucking Foodfight. I mean, wow. Considering the fact that the animation doesn't look like terminal illness on top of terminal illness, the writing and storytelling must be below recently nuked junkyard fire to be considered that insanely bad.
In the E.R on the hospital tv they played the Emoji Move. I had sliced the tip of my finger off trying to make hash brown latkes. I thought hospitals were supposed to make you feel better.
@@opticalyoutube5597 no it really wasn't, im not about to call it ground breaking or a master piece, but for what it was working with, it came out way better then people give credit for, and hating it simply because it was based on the game is a stupid ass reason.
The fact that you predicted both the meme movie and Boss baby would intentionally making the trailer meme worthy is top-tier. At least the meme movie got canceled.
I work as a teacher's assistant, and last year the teacher put on The Emoji Movie for the kids to watch (they were between ages 6-7) and when it was over, the kids were talking about how much they liked it, and one of the kids even said "I liked it more than Moana!" ...what more do I need to say about this?
אלון סיניה *Oak Synia* I wonder how these kids would feel when they grow up and realize that they loved a cringy ass movie. I feel sorry for them already, even worse, they might end up calling it a "good movie" for the "nostalgia

Can a character really be a strong independent female if she’s a cookie cutter rip-off of another character? Seems pretty dependent and weak if you ask me
Samuel Holbrook Wisecrack made a great video about The Emoji Movie where they talk about how the attempt to make a strong female character completely contradicts itself at the end when Jailbreak just becomes a Princess again and conforms to society.
Both this and Frozen really blew the strong female character (Why is this a must not that females in real life aren't strong and independent in the first place) although at least Frozen didn't fail as hard as this movie. The only true strong girl I've seen in animated films so far is Vanellope from wreck it Ralph lol
I don't mind a movie having a feminist character, but the issue here is Jailbreak was not put in there because they wanted to empower girls, but because the executives wanted to cater to that demographic, and as a result she is just a lazily written, lowest common denominator "feminist" character.
Don't encourage them. Most people don't like being preached to during a film, because politics and entertainment are not compatible. People go to movies for enjoyment, not to have an agenda shoved down their throats. (This applies to both political sides.)
@@bigdickdaddy12 I mean there's there's difference between neat subtlety and forced messages, not just politics but with movie lessons in general this "movie" clearly can't do subtlety so it goes for the latter option, force feeding with a bucket
My friend pointed out after we'd almost finished the movie (we watched it on Netflix, I'm not giving it money in theaters), that the plot makes even less sense. All devices come with emojis built into the phone, meaning that if a factory reset even did happen, the emojis wouldn't be deleted. They also pointed out that you don't have to go to a phone store to do a factory reset.
its a work of FICTION, meaning its got realistic ELEMENTS in it, but its not totally grounded IN reality, a movie can do that, think of older movies, like the original ghostbusters, the godzilla movies, they had realistic ELEMENTS in it, but it had fictional fantasy elements, its not real, its just a movie!
@@joshuaarmstrong8664 Except the premise of those movies are already bizarre enough to warrant a suspension of belief right of the bat. (Ghostbusters having ghosts and Godzilla having a large ass lizard stomping around) Here the premise isn't nearly bizarre enough to warrant a suspension of belief as in the grand scheme of things all that happens is the kids phone glitches about what? 2 or 3 times and he suddenly thinks, "Welp got to send it to a fucking professional to fix the phone for playing Candy Crush during class and sending the wrong emoji."
@@generalhorseradish1702 if you dont like the movie thats fine, i dont care, but i do like it and yeah, why do you care so much, its just a dumb movie, there's nothing to care about, and before you ask, YES i have seen TONS of other movies, i even watched ihe, mr enter, nostalgia critic AND phantomstrider before hand, expecting to hate it too, but i didnt and dont, which kind of threw me, so dont go into this thinking that we didnt listen to them, but ended up liking the movie despite what they said, and without thinking about it, it just happened, much like any movie can do to a person, you go in, thinking it'll suck, based on reviews, only to have the opposite reaction, its not a new phenomenon, it happens a lot more than you or anyone else thinks, i went in, like i said, expecting to hate it too, but i couldnt bring myself to do that, despite trying, if you hate the movie, thats fine, im not here to change minds or argue, so this might just be my only response, not out of annoyance, but because i said my peace and by now, i've moved on from this, so its whatever at this point
I really hate it when people take "Strong female character who don't need no man" and make it so that they literally don't end up with anyone, even when it's obvious they want to. It's just as bad as putting two characters together unnecessarily. Just because someone doesn't NEED a man doesn't mean they can't choose to have one. That's why I liked Jasmine in Aladdin; I've literally heard people slam her because she ended up with someone (mostly in relation to Frozen, where Elsa didn't end up with anyone.) The fact that she ended up with Aladdin isn't the point of her character arc, it's that she CHOSE to be with Aladdin. She hated literally every other suitor, so she didn't give them the time of day. But Aladdin treated her like a human being and appreciated things aside from her beauty, so she fell in love with him and chose him. And that's such a better message: love yourself enough to know who is good enough for you, and don't settle for anything else. I don't know why I'm commenting this here, I doubt anyone cares. But I can like romance and be a feminist goshdarnit
I have a single question about this movie: Why do the Emojis have to have their faces repeatedly beamed up to the phone? If they're only allowed to make one face/have one emotion, then they should only need to have their faces beamed up once. That one face should be able to last a life time, right?
Here's another thing that doesn't make sense. "Meh" has to be "Meh" about everything, right? But what about the pizza emoji and more esoteric shit like that? Like...how do you be "more" or "less" of a pizza emoji? And if Gene can portay any emotion he wants...doesn't that make all of the other emoji's completely pointless?
And why do they need to scan the Emoji's face when the phone's keypad displays pictures of each Emoji? Couldn't they just use those pictures instead? There'd be no chance of an Emoji making the wrong face because the still pictures are consistent.
To me this movie is arguably one of the lowest points in humanities culture. It celebrates stupidity, a lack of imagination and basically makes me think that it is appealing to the humans who were living on the spaceship in WALL-E.
IHE in the beginning looks like Ethan Winters from Resident Evil 7. It's fitting since you've experienced something just as horrifying as the Baker Family.
Why bother? He would just start throwing up blood because The Emoji Movie carries a visual disease. It's almost like a black mamba bite. You blood from all your holes.
@@mingusmolo4629 He seems like a good guy and he's a legend obviously working steady. But I feel like he just wanted to make something his grandchildren would enjoy
5 years later and this movie has pretty much been forgotten about, as I predicted. That's what happens when you make a shallow movie about a fad with absolutely zero substance whatsoever.
peak british culture, it'd be rain and uncomfortable cold weather outside then your mum suggests going to that one cinema with a mcdonalds nearby for a movie you don't really want to watch but you have no choice because you want one of the happy meal toys based on it
If Smiler can be angry yet still keep the face she's supposed to, why can't the "meh" emoji just express himself and emote through the face he's supposed to have for his job? Why can't the Emojis just have normal faces when they're not at work? Why am I still thinking about the god-damn emoji movie
