4. The Tearsmith
A romance novel turned into a movie? Sounds interesting right? But don’t get too excited, because this Italian movie adaptation is not up to the mark. The film stars Italian superstars like Simone Baldasseroni, Caterina Ferioli, and Sabrina Paravicini. The movie is available on Netflix.
The film has a rating of 5.1 out of 10 on IMDb and 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. One user mentiones that “The plot felt underdeveloped, with unrealistic challenges and rushed conflicts.”
5. Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate
If you were planning to watch a relaxing animated movie, Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate is really not a good choice. The plot revolves around Doom Syndicate. He breaks out of the prison and returns to Metro City. To put an end to this, Megamind plans an evil act. The story was very poorly written and sounded off. The animation was very “low budget” and “boring.” The writers have also made certain character changes which seemed unnecessary.
As low as it could be, the movie has a rating of 2.4 out of 10 on IMDb and 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some reviews of this film were:
“Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate” takes the cake as the worst movie of 2024. It just released today, and my entire day has been ruined by watching it.
Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate? More like Megamind vs The Doom of Cinema! This abomination of a film should come with a warning label
