A few days back I wrote about a few “Best Movies of 2017” lists (you can read them here) but now that we’ve dispensed with those stuck up high brow (I kid, I kid!) lists, let’s get into the meat of the matter:

The worst films of 2017.

Let’s start the fun with…

The AV Club’s Worst Films of 2017

I won’t give it all away, but of the films listed I was aware of 16 of the 20 films listed and hadn’t seen a single one of them.  Of the ones listed, there was only one that I wanted to see, at least based on its trailers (I found them amusing), the Amy Poehler and Will Farrell comedy The House.

The reason I wound up not going to see it?  Because the reviews were absolutely brutal and I didn’t want to waste my time.

Perhaps I made the right choice?

Ah, that barely whet’s my appetite…

Over on RollingStone.com, the focus appears to be on “big” studio film releases for their list…

In this case, I know all the films presented.  One of the listed films, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, I have sitting next to my DVD/BluRay player, my most recent Netflix film.  I’ll watch it, though I don’t expect much.  There’s a second film on the list, the Tom Cruise led The Mummy, which I may give a shot.  We’ll see.

EW’s 10 Best and 5 Worst Films of 2017

Note that I set the link above to the start of the 5 Worst Films of the Year.  You can go backwards if you want to see what they consider the best films, but I want to focus on the worst.  Once again, I’m familiar with all five films presented.  Their #1 worst film, The Emoji Movie, seems to be making multiple rounds in these lists…

If you’re really into such lists, then you’ll be in nirvana (or on overload) with this list…

Telegraph.uk.’s 62 Worst Films of 2017

Basically, this list appears to be a compilation of the films this particular group didn’t like over the past year.

I’ll stop there, for now!
