We want to hear what you have to say but need to verify your account. Conceptually, the movie is idiotic right from the start. There was so much potential for this movie to also explore commentary on social media and the users, but they drop it immediately because the movie would rather focus on product placement than anything else (yeah, trust me when I say they literally make a huge emphasis on selling Candy Crush, Facebook, and Youtube Cat videos than selling a good story). comedy, Just Dance and Candy Crush immediately come to mind. Instagram, Facebook (logo only, since you only see their world from outside), Twitter (the bird logo helps Jailbreak and Hi-5), Spotify, Dropbox, YouTube, WeChat.

I mean I can't deny there are some nice little touches here, its not all terrible. | Rating: 1/5 By creating an account, you agree to the Privacy Policy It would make more sense sense if, like a State Farm worker, the emojis just vanish for a second or so (all of the emojis; a new one at a time for turns, since evidently Textopolis can't have such a small amount of Emojis with only one of each, and a handful of different skin colors), and then reappear back on spot once it went through.

They wanted a movie that they could use to sell companies as cross-promotion. It ended up surprising a lot of people with how entertaining it was. The meh emoji (I can't believe I just typed that) fails at his one job of being meh. | Top Critics (37) First and foremost is the entire idea of it trying to appear hip, trendy, and every typical crap you'd expect a movie desperate to appeal to smart phone users.

The sidekick characters bland and unfunny (hi-five and a princess), again totally predictable. We don't get past that, because they'd rather go on to yap about Spotify and other unoriginal crap. Look, I'm not saying the movie was bad because it's a movie based around Emojis, that's one of it's major problems, but at the same time one of the least you should be worrying about. |, August 4, 2017 The other logical fault to this is how only the "main" human seems to be suffering from phone troubles thanks to Gene.

What bothers me is how it doesn't even seem to realize how absurd its setup of the Emoji world is. In Emoji's defense, and take into mind that the following is just "for what's worth", it's actually beautifully animated and has a "better" story (whereas Food Fight couldn't even be bothered to find out what its own plot really is). |, September 13, 2017 Where are those people now???

There's obviously a shit-ton of emojis out there, but I'm just narrowing it down for the purpose of this review. Do they haul ass to find the Dragon Emoji since it's not in the lineup? He teams up with the high-five emoji and Jailbreak (the original princess emoji) to reprogram the code so he'll be a proper meh emoji and Alex, the kid who owns the phone the emojis live, won't erase every app later that afternoon.

One conversation is how the phone user has so many friends and why he's so popular, and the High-Five emoji states how they're not real friends, but people who just like him. The movie tries to throw you clever jokes or even forced ones, and none are funny. Along the way the protagonist meets new friends that are considered losers basically; and in the end after numerous scrapes they all discover themselves and make friends (whilst saving the day).

The CLOSEST this movie got to getting a giggle out of me was when Smiler (Maya Rudolph) comes into the office, and tells another Emoji "I am so ANGRY right now, ahehehe," all while holding onto her gigantic, toothy smile. Why does the phone and the apps start acting up, get played, and activate when the Emojis travel to and mess around in them? Don't have an account?

The worst thing in this consistently dire effort to pick the pockets of young, vulnerable cretins is its determination to exploit the unworkable premise to death and beyond. Why be the same schtick when you can stand out?

And this is a movie made for idiot kids, where if they haven't seen it within the last week, they've already forgotten about it. I'm embarrassed for our species after this movie. Gene is a 'meh' emoji but he can also make other expressions which is looked upon as freakish, or like having a rare disease. Its kinda treated like a gameshow scenario where talented, experienced and obviously popular emoji's are used regularly (almost like a sports team). ), and a virus is a sick looking electronic bacteria (fuck me!). But that's not the only egregious example of lazy, uninspired humor. I think that's what pisses me off the most.
