10 Worst Movies Of 2020

2020 may have been a different year for cinema than just about anyone could have ever expected, but it nevertheless delivered dozens of quality movies, many of them streamed directly to your home.

And though the past year saw more top-tier movies than ever before released straight-to-streaming, that did little to stem the tide of terrible films similarly hitting VOD services, if not released in cinemas in the first few months of the year.

These are the 10 films that make Hillbilly Elegy look like Forrest Gump - the 10 movies released over the last 12 months which plumbed the lowest possible depths of audience tolerance, made with little artistic flair or even basic imagination whatsoever.

From ill-conceived big-budget blockbusters to small-scale horror movie duds, these 10 films scraped the bottom of the barrel, picked the barrel up, held it upside down, and shook it to see what fell out.

They are basement-tier schlock, and in a few cases even morally reprehensible. You won't find any fun, so-bad-it's-good films on this list, but only the most drearily misguided, borderline unwatchable dumpster-fires you need to steer well clear of...

To the surprise of few, Kenneth Branagh's long-gestating adaptation of beloved fantasy novel Artemis Fowl was an abject misfire, arriving at least a decade too late in its attempt to become "the next Harry Potter."

Despite solid production values, this is an interminably boring $125 million blockbuster, filled with talented actors like Judi Dench, Josh Gad, and Colin Farrell delivering some of the most phoned-in work of their respected careers.

With an unlikeable titular protagonist and an inability to do anything outside the generic fantasy movie box, Artemis Fowl was doomed long before Disney decided to skip a theatrical bow and send it straight to Disney+.

The only reason it doesn't rank higher on this list is because it clocks in at a brisk 95 minutes, even if it certainly feels a good deal longer than that.
