This little black
mark in the history of pop culture was a long time coming. I promised myself
I’d never pay money for this movie, so I’m going to be streaming it on Sky
Cinema instead. That’s why this review has taken so long.
But here we
are, here we are. The Emoji Movie was released in 2017, and still haunts the
nightmares of everyone who watched it, earning an 8% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,
which puts it at Fant4stic levels… yeah, this is gonna be a tough one.
It did make
money, $250m on a $50m budget but when you find out that Incredibles 2 broke
$1bn worldwide this summer, this is relatively pathetic by comparison. Still, it’s
sad this movie made money, we’re to blame people. But let’s just dive in and
see how bad this is…
