Top 10 Disappointing Movies of 2018!

Top 10 Most Disappointing Movies of 2018
Whether we like to admit it or not, we all have expectations when we sit down to watch a movie. Sometimes, we get really excited for a new release because of the talent involved in a project, or stellar festival buzz, or glowing critical reviews, or even because of an awesome trailer. Unfortunately, not every film can be a slam dunk. Some turn out to be boring, mediocre, or even downright terrible, and these are the films that disappointed us the most in 2018. These aren't necessarily the worst movies of the year, but they fell short of our expectations. Keep in mind, our list will be different than yours, and while we're welcome to constructive criticism, please don't be rude if you have a different opinion than we do.

TOP 15 WORST MOVIES OF 2018!

It's that time of the year again, the time when we take a look back at the films we've watched and present to you our "best of" and "worst of" lists. We like to get the negative out of the way first, you know, to cleanse our auras. In the last few years, the number of people who are not happy with the promotion of "worst of" lists has risen. Look, we know it sucks to rag on people who make movies, it's an extremely hard job to do, and there's no way we could ever do it. The fact of the matter is, we've already reviewed these films in full, we're merely cataloging them and linking back to them for your (dis)pleasure. If this is not your cup of tea, we apologize, our "best of" list will be out soon, so we'll see you then.

Without further ado, here it is, our list of THE TOP 15 WORST THEATRICALLY RELEASED FILMS OF 2018! Do you agree with this list? Let us know what your least favorite films of the year were!
