15 Acclaimed Recent Movies That Are (Probably) Doomed To Receive A Backlash

11. Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

There's no denying that Black Mirror: Bandersnatch's interactive format is ground-breaking and playing through it is undeniably interesting, but how many people are going to go back and play through it more than once? Most likely, not many.

The reason for this is that Bandersnatch's story is actually pretty weak and it's just a load of trippy weirdness that's confusing for the sake of it. Additionally, there's none of the satirical bite of Black Mirror's best stories. Essentially, the delivery is brilliant but it's all in the service of an empty narrative, so this is unlikely to hold up.

As well as this, Black Mirror has completely lost its way. Season four was a step down, season five was very weak and the world really doesn't seem very excited about Black Mirror anymore. Therefore, given its huge decline in quality, it's likely the franchise as a whole will be looked upon less favourably, including Bandersnatch.
