2022 marked the great return of cinemas. Also an almost complete recovery of the industry after the hard hit caused by the health emergency caused by the pandemic. It was the year of the most anticipated releases after a long wait due to calendar delays. Something that gave the film world an updated view of its importance and weight in pop culture. However, there was a place for what we can consider the worst films of 2022.
Among the extraordinary premieres and grandiose visual celebrations there are infamous list of projects that baffled for his unsuccessful proposals. From clumsy attempts to bring franchises to life, to unwarranted narrative experiments. 2022 was filled with all sorts of stories that were disappointing, surprising with poor quality, and disappointing with poor plot.
The list ranges from new additions to major superhero franchises to seemingly inspiring projects that turn out to be resounding flops. We leave you with a compilation with the seven worst films of 2022 and the reasons why they have become massive disappointments in a fully recovering market.
Is an Morbius worst movie of 2022?
Sure, it’s one of the worst films of the year, but it’s also the only one to return to theaters due to Sony’s inexplicable decision. And he did it only to fail again in a loud and almost painful way. Jared Leto’s vampire superhero story is arguably one of the most frustrating plot experiments of the year. But at the same time, it’s an irrefutable demonstration that the superhero genre needs to mature to showcase new universes and characters.
Especially when the competition is getting tougher and tougher, not only between universes, but also between plots. Morbius it is part of an unfinished and aimless saga. That makes himYour entry into films is a combination of bad decisions and the worst points of view. about the extent of its history.
However, the problem with Daniel Espinoza’s film goes beyond Sony’s weak spider universe. The script lacks logic, resulting in chaotic characters and a convoluted story without much support. Worse yet, on a frantic journey through a cheap and dated aesthetic that added little to the grand premise of a monster in search of redemption. In the end, Morbius it deserves its place among the worst films of 2022. Massive raving that showed the lowest points of the criticized cinematic superhero world.

Amsterdamanother disappointment that makes its way to the list of worst movies of 2022
What could go wrong with the combination of a great director like David O. Russell and an all-star cast? In this case, everything. scenario Amsterdam makes it one of the worst films of 2022, telling an upbeat story from an inexplicable plot chaos. Especially when its director tries to combine drama, humor, romance and suspense without succeeding at any point in the story.
Amsterdam lacking spirit, personality and depth. But to make matters worse, it has a sense of epic that gets ridiculous as the narrative gets more intricate and complex. Based on a curious historical event, the film combines several settings at once and tries to sustain different tones. But the result is unpleasant, exhausting and, in the end, so general that it is even self-satisfied.
Even his acting troupe, the always competent Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington, seem out of place. Without inspiration, most of the time trying to show joy and optimism, the cast seems disoriented. In its final – and cheesy – final scene, the film makes it clear that it is unable to maintain its premise. A major flop that makes it one of the worst films of 2022.

Don’t worry dear… Or if
Another failed attempt to mix different tones and rhythms, achieving nothing but confusion. Halfway between a feminist dystopia and an attempt at clever noir satire on a contemporary hit, Olivia Wilde’s film fails in many ways. But, especially, in his inability to talk about the perception of contemporary good and evil without falling into a cliché. Which, without a doubt, fully includes it in the list of the worst films of 2022.
Despite Florence Pugh’s extraordinary performance, the film falters when it tries to tell a story in the background that is never credible. Which, in fact, almost immediately becomes predictable and eventually collapses into all sorts of failed stereotypes.
The film that was preceded by a major scandal in Cannes among its cast, it is as chaotic as its actual setting. Olivia Wilde has serious problems connecting parts of a narrative that points in the original direction but cannot tell more than an incomplete set of ideas. Bland, narratively bumpy and mostly flat, the film was one of the biggest disappointments of the year.

Thor: Love and Thunderfor anyone else one of the worst movies of 2022
Yes, Taika Waititi has a sense of humor that is usually a hallmark of his films. But this time, his need to ridicule every point of the script for Thor’s adventure in search of the Butcher of the Gods failed. Or so some people think. Which explains its foray into the list of worst movies of 2022.
Apart from the change in the tone and rhythm of the god of thunder, what is really disturbing Thor: Love and Thunder It’s his lack of power. Also, the narrative is so irregular that it presents two premises that never complement each other.
Despite Chris Hemsworth’s great sense of humor, Thor Waititi this time a reckless combination of jester and bumbling hero. The entire film cannot bear the message of seeking the highest good, and also analyzes a love story with a tragic end.
The director tried to create a broader perception of the narrative about pain, loss and the search for identity. But this not only did not give an effective result, but the whole feature collapsed due to the delusional confusion of situations against the backdrop of mediocre digital effects and random jokes. A ludicrous mixture that even influenced Christian Bale’s extraordinary performance as Gorr, the Butcher of the Gods. Perhaps the only thing that can be saved in a project that has earned a place among the worst films of 2022.

fiery eyes also included in the list
Adapting Stephen King is always tricky, but Keith Thomas did a particularly bad job. fiery eyes, which became one of the worst films of 2022, is a mixture of a superhero origin story, science fiction and a dose of unnecessary melodrama. The result is poor acting, flat characters, and worse, a simple story that could have been made into something more.
It is difficult to analyze what happened so that a project based on a solid history turns out to be a set of upscale nonsense. What was disappointing was the vague confusion of narrative directions, between the figure of a monstrous girl and a heroic one.
Whereas in King’s novel Charlie (Ryan Keira Armstrong) is a dangerous creature on the verge of disaster, in the film he is a mixture of various contemporary clichés. Between a superhero about to be born and a girl blinded by her physical abilities, the plot moves back and forth in the middle of a mess.
Moreover, this is happening against the backdrop of a complete lack of structure or logic regarding the quality of power as a dangerous secret. One of the biggest failures of what is already one of the worst films of 2022, and that makes it a poor copy of the much more inspiring 1984 version.

Strange worldbig disney disappointment and one of the worst movies of 2022
Actually, the Disney animation project is not exactly a bad movie. But it was an inappropriate combination of all sorts of elements, which together turned out to be excessive. From a large-scale ecological epic to the analysis of family pain and forgiveness.
Strange world Switched off very difficult for children and overly sentimental for adults. So it ended up fighting to the lowest point among dazzling special effects that added little to the story. A bad combination that placed it among the worst films of 2022.
The Disney Animated Universe, based on much of the sci-fi movies of the fifties, lacks solidity. At least enough to tell a story that should move from a well-intentioned utopia to an exploration of deep family conflicts. For his final scenes, Strange world he is overly dependent on his visual part to support the route he wants to show through his premise. Which leads to the fact that it falls loudly on the last leg of the journey.

Disappointed: Gisele Returnsmissed opportunity for success
In 2007, the wonderful Amy Adams staged a parody of fairy tales with the story of a classic princess who discovers the real world. His Giselle dazzled with a combination of innocence, tenderness and charm.
By her return in 2022, the character is a suburban mom who discovers everyday life isn’t as magical as she thought. Nothing to do with the longed-for “they lived happily” that his native Andalazia promised. The result is a painful and almost naive journey to the core of everything that once made her such a lovable character.
But either because a sequel is completely unnecessary, or because the story lacks the tongue-in-cheek sense of humor of the first part, the film flopped and became one of the worst of 2022. and charming, amounting to nothing but an annoying stereotype of kindness. Giselle, more stupid than sweet, and Robert, more clumsy than a lovesick husband, were a ridiculous combination. Which made the movie a tedious mess from start to finish.
