15 Most Disappointing Movies Of The 2020s (So Far)

The other big-budget blockbuster released during the pandemic in 2020 might not have been quite as bad as WW84, but it was still pretty awful and considering how awesome it looked and considering that Christopher Nolan is one of the very finest film-makers in Hollywood today, it hurt like hell.

Of course, the most infamous thing about Tenet is its bafflingly awful sound-design, which ensured that viewers could barely hear most of the dialogue - seriously, what a basic thing to fail at.

Thanks to both this and the infuriatingly convoluted plot, Tenet is a movie that is largely impossible to understand on a first viewing. Still, once viewers rewatch it with subtitles, it emerges as a genuinely terrible work and the worst film of Nolan's career by a country-mile.

A soulless, tension-free, atrociously put-together 'thriller' that doesn't even offer the great spectacle you'd expect from this legendary director, Tenet is also arguably among the worst-written Hollywood films of recent times.

Not only is this a completely soulless work without a semblance of emotional depth, but the mechanics of the time travel are just ridiculous and the film frequently implies that none of the characters were in any real danger, thus robbing the film of any tension.

As a result, this was arguably the most disappointing of the very few anticipated films that actually came out that year.
