10 Most Overrated Movies Of 2016 (So Far)

This should have been the best film ever.

Hail, Caesar! has to be the one of the most disappointing films ever made, especially when you consider everybody involved and the fact that it's one giant homage to the Golden Age of Cinema, complete with George Clooney in screwball mode.

The only good thing in this film is future Han Solo actor Alden Ehrenreich, though, who manages to bring a charm to an otherwise charmless and surprising rigid film. There are so many bizarre creative decisions on show in Hail, Caesar!, after all: why make Josh Brolin's studio fixer into a nice, reputable guy, when writing him tough and brutal like his real life equivalent - the morally questionable movie mogul Eddie Mannix - would have made for a way more interesting film?

Then there's the episodic nature of the "motion picture segments," none of which are anywhere near as exhilarating or fun to watch as they are in the trailer. Also: the timing is off, the jokes aren't funny, and the plot is bewildering and pretentious. With so much at their disposal, it's genuinely shocking that the Coens turned in such a forgettable picture. There is no plot; there is no momentum; there is no point.

There's a sense that the critics went easy on this incredibly lacklustre film because the Coens made it, because otherwise how did it garner 85% on Rotten Tomatoes? I'd go as far to say that it's their worst film to date - an uninspired, weightless hodgepodge that totally fails in its attempts to even provide a single worthwhile laugh.

Worse than The Ladykillers, this one - and the year's most overrated film by a mile!
