13 Massive Movie Predictions For The Rest Of 2018

11. Robin Hood Is 2018's Worst-Reviewed Blockbuster

In fairness, 2018 hasn't been a terrible year for blockbusters so far, and even the worst-received tentpole movies have basically scored mixed reviews, with Pacific Rim: Uprising's 43% Tomatometer (with a 5.0/10 average score) being the big-budget low to "beat".

And that this November's Robin Hood reboot most certainly will. Already dubbed "this year's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" by fans and critics alike - though that feels like a disservice to Guy Ritchie's movie, to be honest - the appalling trailer suggests this is another attempt to reinvent the iconic folk hero despite nobody asking for it.

The production looks both expensive and hilariously low-rent all at the same time - the CGI is especially rough - and if the 2010 Russell Crowe-starring effort couldn't be critically or commercially successful, what hope does this have?

Nothing we've seen or heard indicates this'll crack 20% on the Tomatometer, and it could very well sink much lower than that. Razzies for everyone!
