Despot of Antrim is a YouTube movie critic who shows up on some channels that I like. He is often a guest on Critical Drinker After Hours, which I quite like.
He considers the year 2025, and the 13 worst movies of the year. Big-budget, Hollywood movies. Of the 13 movies he mentions, 12 lost money, some lost a lot of money. And that is based on the numbers published by the studios. We know from history that the real budget numbers for Disney movies won't come out until Disney files tax forms with the UK government for films that were shot in the UK. We should see those final numbers in 2026.
It was a terrible year for the box office. Movie theaters can't survive on this kind of revenue, and if Hollywood keeps making slop, no one will see a reason to go to the cinema, and no one will have a reason to subscribe to streaming services.
This is the Despot of Antrim video The Worst Movies of 2025. It is a long video at just over 2 hours, but it is conveniently divided into chapters so you can watch what you want, and come back later if you're interested. I love this kind of thing, but then I love movies. I just wish Hollywood would make some worth seeing.
"The third worst movie of the year, Captain Cape Shit: Brave New Slop." The titles Despot comes up with are great, but this one made me laugh.
ReplyDelete" This steaming pile of radioactive slime is truly unwatchable. Brave New Slop is a rare example of a big budget movie released to theaters in an unreleasable state. Cats being another infamous example."
Woke: The Movie

As for the length of the video, Mauler (another YT content creator) recently published a 17 hour and 40 minute review of the video game Star Wars: Outlaws. (I still haven't seen all of it, but then I was never that interested in the video game he is reviewing.)
ReplyDeleteMore recently Mauler published a 1 hour and 40 minute review of Start Wars: TFA titled "A Critique of Star Wars: The Force Awakens - The Death of Han Solo - Part 5" (It is the shortest of the 5 parts released, so far.)
