Top Ten WORST Movies of 2022 

"Art is subjective. Business is not." - Grace Randolph That's a legendary quote.

Where's my tea and popcorn this title has me hiding at work. 😂

The modern movie experience in a nutshell: Studio reboots/remakes/adapts a popular IP for 'today's audience' marketing it on nostalgia, and completely changes the fundamentals that fans actually want, while enticing few new fans either. Then access media attacks the fandom for being toxic. Fandom attacks itself.

this is what separate Grace from other critics channels, she really likes to insight the business. and we love it.

That's what I need today Grace (also the introductory line is killer - "art is subjective, Business is not") you are amazing. Happy new year Grace and Btt comunity

“Art is subjective, business is not.” This is why I follow you Grace. You have a unique presentation style amongst RU-vidrs in that you acknowledge a films artistic merits and flaws while providing the wider business perspective and consequences that have become so fascinating in recent years. Looking forward to another fascinating year in movies in 2023. Happy New Year to all 🎉🎉🎉

“ They forgot how to have fun, after all, movies are entertainment.” ☝️

Grace, you truly make box office news some of the most exciting content

This is now my favorite take on the year's films. "Art is subjective, business is not." What a great statement

my issue w the animation take is that pixar also had turning red this year, a movie that’s definitely getting oscar nominations and, in my opinion, was able to break out of the pixar mold while still being entertaining and fun. i understand that it was a disney plus exclusive and we’ll never know how it would have done in a theatrical release, but it topped the nielsen chart when it premiered and held near the top for a while. pixar will be fine imo

"Juicier to do top 10 career killers!" Grace you're hilarious and amazing.

disney+ really ruined disney. if they had just stuck to making movies for theaters and creating high quality tv shows that they can then sell to netflix they would have been golden. but being forced to milk their major franchises and running them into the ground because they dont have the breadth of the other streaming services has seriously damaged their reputation and significantly lowered the quality of their overall output

A lot of these films had bad marketing. I couldn’t tell you what Amsterdam Babylon or strange world we’re about based on their trailers.

Hollywood really needs to understand. Most of us work long hours, we just want to be able to switch off and have fun watching a movie. We are there for escapism, not to be lectured and messaged at. I for one, regardless of what side the messaging is on, don't go to see a to a movie where I think I'm going to be lectured, end of story.

“Nobody wants to see Jake Gylenhall outside of the MCU” I had no idea he was even in the MCU.

Everyone I talk to about Cavill insists that he got screwed by WB instead of the other way around, and I just can't understand it. I think the proof is in quitting The Witcher, which was his show and he dumped it like it was garbage. I'm so glad to have your insight into all of this to see so much more of what's going on. Keep up the great work and happy new year!

Grace, thank you for posting vids around the holidays! You’re so good to us, and it is very appreciated. I love this idea too - not that I want to see careers burn, but it is interesting how you can seemingly be on top of the world only to have one misstep turn your fortunes around. I hope you continue w/it, maybe not as career killers but career missteps in the future (so it’s not like we’re hoping for it just to have a vid at year’s end). Here though, you struck the perfect tone: excited by the business aspect w/o relishing in the misfortune of others (and you seemed spot-on to me). Great job! Loved it!

Black Adam was so bad and poorly made that I just couldn't finish it.

sadly, dwayne has probably killed any possibility of his becoming part of any superhero franchise. he has the physique, but his ego now has him force the character to his mold rather than him being the kind of actor who will embody the character. arnold is still the king.

I don't think the general film going audience even knew about JK Rowling's Twittering, let alone care about it, for it to actually affect the FB box office. JK is just not a screenwriter, and needs someone to do that part and work with her.

Love the direction you went with this list. I always think "worst of lists" are kinda meaningless because didnt watch or play, in the case of video games, anyway. Most disappointing or career killing as you put it is a better direction since people actually consumed these properties anyway.

The reviews are nice and I watch most. The spoiler reviews I usually have no interest in ever. But where Grace truly shines is the Hollywood business stuff… I absolutely eat this stuff up. It’s like Game of Thrones in real life and while most critics only focus on the movies, Grace has cornered a market I don’t think many other critics even know is there. As far as RU-vidrs, there isn’t anyone like Grace when it comes to covering the juicy behind the scenes drama.

This was a really fun and funny video Grace. You always manage to spill the tea in a fun and lighthearted way.

This was such a fantastic analytical video. I really do learn so much from watching you Grace and have so since around 2013. Thank you for all your hard work this year Grace. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Here’s to a wonderful 2023 🥳

I think Animation rarely kills careers because the actors face is never in the actual movie so people will forget pretty quickly. Members of the general public rarely care about who is voicing who that's mostly for fandoms. Many actors have starred in animated movies that have been badly received and rebounded later with live action work so Chris Evans will be okay if he does good movies going forward.

Brilliant video Grace, it really does show that Hollywood talent in particular need to really think through all of their decisions and not think that they're untouchable. Reliving all of the "Don't Worry Darling" car crash was epic! 🤣

Grace, this year i started most of my mornings with your videos, I always enjoy your work and im glad to be a part of this community. Happy new year to you and your family.

Evans isn't a star, Captain America is the star, Evans is just a C-lister lucky enough to have given the role. Is like Samuel L Jackson, they can replace me easily my character is just an eyepatch, or something like that.

The Rock's Black Adam lesson: a new hierarchy will only come if you bring in the money. 😂

Grace you're so creative and thoughtful in your posts, love to see it:)

Nothing made my walking into 2023 year knowing bros floped

This is the most entertaining “worst films” videos this week. Really great analysis. Hits all the points of what we are thinking. Those are really bad movies and big disappointments both in front and behind the scenes. Although I have to say, on this list, it seems like the behind the scenes talents (the directors and screenwriters) are mainly responsible for the failures and not the actors. No one saids Margot Robbie was a bad actress from both films. It was the legendary directors who somehow lost the touch or misfire. Chris Hemsworth is giving his all as Thor, but Tika Watiti’s ego got the best of him…

The humor was just right in Thor: Ragnarok. It became clownish in Love and Thunder. We don't need the God of Thunder turned into a clown.

The average person doesn't care about twitters beef with JK Rowling.

Excellent video! I like this better than a worst movie list. This was a tough year for some people and biz. You're a gem Grace!! Thank you! Happy New year everyone!! 🙂🍾🥂

"Art is subjective Business is NOT" whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Avatar l: Way of Boredom should be the #1 worse movie 9f 2022

Henry Cavill is doing Warhammer 40k, his dream project, I think he will be OK...

Happy New Year to you, Grace. Thank you so much for the content you give us through out the year, you deserved the best and I can't wait for more BTT in 2023

This train got derailed out the gate, from the worst movies to career killers. Grace went savage, and I liked it because it was definitely warranted. Thanks for the video and the blunt honesty.

I cannot wait to see your list. I love your honest reviews, you are always on point.

She literally doesn’t miss!! I love that this is a list and business video…happy new year, Grace and BTT family.

Nothing better then eating breakfast while watching Grace do her thing, which makes the beginning of New Years Eve Very Special and Great Ms. Randolph and Hope Your New Years is Great and Special Too 🥳🎉🎊🎆

It's so odd that Taika Waititi could make one of the best and one of the worst entry in a franchise as big as MCU. Any other person with a feat like that (that I can think of) is Justin Lin with Fast Five and F9.

I'm really sad about Babylon, yeah it looked stupid in the trailers but I went to see it and I actually loved the movie. It reminded me of Scorsese's Casino

Yeah the box checking over story telling is just destroying these films. But why do execs allow this to continue, when its losing them money?

Loving the end of year videos! I hope there is a streaming version of this kind of video.

Oh the drama!!! Loved this one hahahaha. Have a wonderful 2023 Grace ❤️

I don't see how Henry Cavil forced anything though. He looked like he genuinely thought he was back.

I dont think they are such things as career killer movies anymore. We are in the era of IP, actors and directors just dont matter that much anymore. People like Robbie will do fine if they get good roles in good IP. But she will not be the attracting factor.

You were soooo in a zone in this one, Grace! Rare form, I tell ya! Great job! Happy New Year!

Bravo. I never leave a comment like this, but your deliveries, lines, jabs were all ruthlessly true and on point.

RE: Natalie Portman "Go sit down in the corner with Eddie Redmayne!" I laughed so hard Grace, I had to pause the video because I missed the next 2 minutes. 🤣

I was so disappointed by movies this year that Avatar 2 wasn't so bad xD

Happy New Year Grace!!! All the way from Porto / Portugal ❤

I loved this! ❤ Very entertaining and informative!

Grace is like your parents. First you don't believe her, then you lash at her saying she doesn't understand, then you have to accept she is right.

Grace I never knew you were balanced. You are, thank you for being honest. Disney has just been checking boxes.

Happy new year Grace and my fellow Gracelings. 🎉🎆

Love it!!! Leave it to Grace to end 2022 on an interesting note.😉❤️

I really think people are behaving a bit overly dramatic about Disney and Pixar’s animation studios.. the reality is both studios released INCREDIBLE movies within the last year (Encanto and Turning Red) and animation takes such a long time to produce that the upcoming projects, Elemental and Wish are too far in production to be drastically altered. Additionally I think it’s important to look back on Disneys history and see how it is mirrored in Pixar and even dreamworks! These studios go through major shifts from golden ages, to dark ages, to experimental ages.. I think Pixar is experimenting rn and to act like they need to “go back to the formula” misses the reason that Pixar was so successful in its first decade of life. They didn’t have a formula until Disney bought them.. and that’s when Pixar’s quality first dipped. So point being, yeah Lightyear and Strange World were definitely not good films but to behave as if they are “major blows” to the animation studios is a huge over exaggeration. (Also don’t forget both studios are expanding to accommodate Disney+ needs.. we have Win or Lose, Iwájú, Tiana, and a Moana series all set for release in the next 2 years!)

I really like this new format it's so refreshing compared to the typical worst movies of the year

Great approach to the video❤.

You are so talented Grace! Very entertaining video.

Thor 4 is probably one of the worst movies I’ve seen period

This seems to be becoming an obsession with Margot Robbie.

I feel like Taika will be ok as long as his next film is on par with JoJo Rabbit or What we do in the shadows. I can't believe that Christian Bale of all people had a shitty year, I love him and need to see him back in better films :)

Happy new year Grace 🎉

Great video. I really am wondering who is hiring these bad writers. Their entire story structure is broken for so many movies(and tv shows) lately.

This was so very enjoyable. I think Disney saw rhat warning of not casting Johnny Depp in a Johnny Depp film and then saw the box office Margot Robbie brings in and said, "Yeah, we can't make another Pirates movie, let's re think our plan." Lol which I hope Depp gets it back for just one last film.

Great breakdown and execution of an awesome idea in lieu of or in addition to worst of the year.

Hey Grace happy New Year’s Eve, are you going to to a top ten best movies of the year next?

I'm afraid at this point the Barbie movie is do or die, for Margot Robbie's star power and movie career?

I love love love the "career killers" theme of this video. Grace speaking the truth!

Happy New Years Eve Mija 🥂😍🥂

Not a single avenger is a movie star. Not even the biggest hitter could turn into one. RDJ couldnt do it how is anyone else gonna get it done? Captain america, Thor, and Iron Man are the stars…. Not the actors and Disney made damn sure of this.

I normally never agree with grace but tbh everything she said here was spot on. Everything discussed is definitely my issue with Hollywood right now. The whole industry needs a thanos snap at this point.

The funny thing about Natalie is that she hates being in Blockbusters and she flops in them. I guess she has to pay the bills

Fun angle to take on the year end best/worst lists! had a good laugh with the concept. Yes, these trends are in trouble.

Love this new format 🙌🏻

You're in rare form here, Grace. Love the energy. Great report.

NOT REALLY "CAREER KILLERS", JUST A CAUTION FOR ACTORS AND DIRECTORS!

Nooooooooooo. Lol. Happy new year and blessings Grace, thank you for your work. See ya in the future 2023.

Wow, this is the best Grace video I’ve seen and I’ve been watching for four years! Broke down that Olivia Wilde drama a lot better than convoluted articles from other outlets. Do a piece on Nepo Babies!

Oh my gosh that Wilde to Taika transition is iconic 😂

Wow, 2022 really was flop central! 😂

Just like tarantino said “ captain America is the star not chris evans”

Wishing you a very Happy New Year Grace and all the best in 2023 with your channel. Looking forward to more of your great insights into all things film, television and Hollywood 👍🏾

Great video to go into 2023 with hahaha hilarious and true. Shazam was the biggest punch for me as there was so much ego involved and Dwayne couldn’t take the loss until the very end when it was too late and arguably had no choice to. What a one two.

"BORING BEASTS"! LOL

Excellent video, I enjoyed it a lot.

Grace this was such a juicy video! Loved it!

I don't watch movies with Chris Evans or Robert Deniro anymore that why I skipped Lightyear and Amsterdam. They've both become egotistical snobs and they're not getting any of my time or money.

Still can’t believe how little faith Disney had in Strange World BEFORE the movie was even made! Qui Nguyen was the ONLY writer for the movie whereas Raya and Encanto had 7+ writers. WHY!?

I wish you had done a longer version of this as I found it very enjoyable and useful. It would have been good to hear about witcher origins and rings of power for amazon and Netflix

Happy New Year Grace 🥳🥳🥳

On Fantastic Beasts, I didn't go see it because they recast Johnny Depp.

Grace, I love watching your videos. I agree with the majority of your takes however you often talk about toxic fandoms when they're just saying the same things you're saying (eg. box checking at the expense of story).

This is genius! You are a savage Grace! Happy New Year!

Okay I watched Bros and it wasn’t the best but putting it one of the worst when there were so many bad ones out there is a bit harsh IMO
