10 Worst Netflix Movies

When films fail at social commentary, it typically makes one angry, but that's because most films that center around social commentary have a point to make and at least try to make it consistently.

The minute Will Smith utters the memetic line "fairy lives don't matter today" your brain splits in two with the realization that the people behind this stinker genuinely had no idea what they were trying to do from minute one. Guess that's what happens when you don't have a screenwriter, huh?

You wanna know what else happens when you don't have a screenwriter? Well for a start, you get a movie with terrible pacing and structure where you're left convinced that the film is being told to you out of order, world building that makes zero sense, characters with zero chemistry because for chemistry to happen you need actual defined dynamics, and so many other fun things.

The reasons behind any of the decisions made during the production of this movie are left for the audience to toil over in the sleepless hours of the night. Bright is, without question, the worst movie Netflix has made yet, and the fact that it's getting a sequel while the Dark Crystal show and One Day At A Time get canceled for basically no reason should be reason on its own to lose all faith in the industry.

John Tibbetts is a novelist in theory, a Whatculture contributor in practice, and a nerd all around who loves talking about movies, TV, anime, and video games more than he loves breathing. Which might be a problem in the long term, but eh, who can think that far ahead?
