10 Hilariously Savage Movie Reviews That Outshine the Films

All’s Fair (2025). You’d think the universe would limit Kim Kardashian to a single TV show, but no. This collaboration with Ryan Murphy produced a pseudo-feminist law drama that critics are calling the worst of the decade. USA Today’s Kelly Lawler quipped, "An embarrassingly terrible show with scripts worse than what ChatGPT was producing two years ago and acting worse than your local Christmas pageant…"

Wuthering Heights (2026). Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic turned the revered gothic novel into something unrecognizable. A Letterboxd user lamented, "Emily Brontë died of tuberculosis 177 years ago, yet this adaptation is the worst thing that has ever happened to her." RIP Margot Robbie’s Catherine; you would have enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey.

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024). With Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix onboard, expectations were high. However, the film's jarring tonal shifts left audiences baffled. Letterboxd user John Pero humorously noted, "Every time they started singing, I felt like Shrek whenever Donkey would randomly sing."

Morbius (2022). Jared Leto’s portrayal of a Marvel anti-hero had critics shaking their heads. One Letterboxd user suggested taking a date to this film under false pretenses, while another joked about watching the Morbius trailer on repeat for eternity in the afterlife.

Gotti (2018). New York Post critic Johnny Oleksinski declared this biopic about mob boss John Gotti as "the worst movie of the year so far," adding, "I’d rather wake up next to a severed horse head than ever watch Gotti again."

Fuller House (2016). Entertainment Weekly’s Josh Bell described the Full House reboot as the childhood friend who never grew up, lamenting, "Visiting that person usually isn’t fun; it’s just sad."

Cats (2019). David Farrier’s review of the infamous adaptation perfectly summed it up: "This is what death feels like. This is the worst ketamine trip. This is CGI from Scorpion King…this is the death of all things…"

Breaking Bad (2008). Melanie McFarland from Seattle Post-Intelligencer had a controversial take, stating, "Breaking Bad does have one thing going for it, though. Few other shows do more to help you appreciate the entertainment value of marijuana."

Mad Dog Time (1996). Roger Ebert's iconic review of this mobster flick was brutal: "The first movie I’ve seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time…"

Paprika (2006). Actress Ayo Edebiri pointed out that Satoshi Kon’s film inspired many, noting similarities with Inception and sarcastically asking if DiCaprio’s girlfriend had recommended it, suggesting they could have made it more enjoyable.
