Although I said a lot of bad things about Chinese movies in the previous article, it does not mean that foreign language movies are good. In fact, there are many bad foreign language films in 2022, but many of them we have not had the opportunity to see.
Today we want to take stock of the 10 worst foreign language movies of 2022. I weighted the ratings of Douban, IMDb, Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes and other websites, sorted them in order from lowest to highest, and then screened out movies with less than 3,000 Douban ratings to form this list.
Although the audience of foreign-language films is relatively small in China, if even the number of 3,000 ratings is not reached, no one cares about such a movie, and it is meaningless to evaluate it.
There are so many good movies that you can't finish watching, it is recommended to collect them before watching them.
Worried about the film shortage, it is enough to pay attention to Su Mo.
"Samaritan" (2022), good film index 51 points
Amazon Prime's films are generally not well received, including "The War of Tomorrow," which was bought for $200 million. "Samaritan" is a super-British movie starring 76-year-old Stallone, and the setting is a bit new.
Old Joe is extraordinary, and his neighbor Sam always suspects that he is the dead superhero Samaria. As the bad guys kept coming to the door, Old Joe had to beat them all over the ground to find their teeth, and his identity had other hidden secrets.
Tired of watching a cosmic crisis, old-school action-style superhero movies are a good entry point. But this story is a little too simple, both embarrassing and vulgar, the action special effects are all at the level of the net, and Uncle Long took over this movie is really incomprehensible.
"Spider Head" (2022), good film index 50 points
Joseph Kosinski has two works to meet the audience in 2022, one is "Top Gun 2" starring Tom and sold $1.488 billion worldwide, and the other is a big bad film that many people have never heard of.
"Spider Head" starring Brother Hammer, written by the screenwriters of "Zombie Paradise" and "Deadpool", the cost is as high as 100 million US dollars, and the brain hole of "drug experiment for sentence reduction" is also good, and it is estimated that it is a Netflix big data synthesis project.
However, I can't believe that the movie is so mediocre, it was originally the volume of a short story, and it was too difficult to hold up 106 minutes. Netflix is like a module assembly center, and "Spider Head" is another soulless movie industry waste.
"Moonlight Panic: The End" (2022), the good film index is 49 points
The first "Moonlight Panic" in 1978 invested only $325,000 and was filmed in 21 days, but it cut $47 million at the box office in one fell swoop, giving birth to this longest-lived horror film series.
In 2018, the original heroine Jamie Lee Curtis returned to open a new trilogy, sold another wave of feelings, and got good box office results, and even 2021's "Killing" has some highlights.
However, "Moonlight Panic: The End" ended hastily with the title of "the end of the classic horror series", without giving Mike a due ending, not only passers-by scratched their heads, fans were also confused to watch.
"Moonfall" (2022), good film index 49 points
"The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012" director Roland Emmerich once again made a disaster movie, costing $150 million, and Chinese capital invested $40 million to stuff Yuwen Wenda soy sauce, which is worth the money.
The special effects part of the film did not disappoint, but I underestimated the nonsense of the script, the story could not even be logically smooth, and the special effects that exploded were in vain. What's even sadder is that I saw the screenwriting team's efforts in the direction of the story, and several unexpected brain holes were to differentiate themselves from previous disaster films.
However, the movie was too bad, and the audience did not disappoint the main creator, and only achieved 67 million box office after the global large-scale release, deducting the channel share and leaving more than 20 million, and the investor almost lost his money.
"Pinocchio" (2022), good film index 48 points
Robert Zemeckis, the director of "Forrest Gump" and "The Rest of the Desert Island", hired his old partner Tom Hanks to create a live-action version of "Pinocchio" at a huge cost.
Disney's live-action adaptations of classic animations are all the same: boring, didactic, and not incorporating a new-age narrative angle, I can't understand the meaning of a remake.
"Beauty and the Beast" has at least beautiful women, "Aladdin" at least has gorgeous songs and dances, and "Pinocchio" only black fairies are very characteristic of the times, but watching it still makes people feel like a play. This film is almost the bottom of Disney's live-action series, and see how "Mermaid" and "Snow White" will hit new lows and bring us what surprises.
"Doctor Night: Morbius" (2022), the good film index is 47 points
Sony's "Spider-Man Cinematic Universe" is growing, but in addition to the "Spider-Man series" that crosses with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there seems to be only one cartoon "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse".
"Doctor Night: Morbius" finally met the audience in 2022 after many delays, but the setting is not creative, the characters are boring, and the story is old, not like a film that will appear in this era.
And as a character origin movie, whether it is "The Mystery of the Shadow" or "Iron Man", it contains a lot of content, making the characters three-dimensional and full. "Morbius" is only 104 minutes, and I feel that the director keeps making up the time, as if there is no material to shoot, which is very shriveled.
If it weren't for the actors and special effects barely passing, I really wouldn't be able to watch it. It is undeniable that Sony has also made a good "Spider-Man movie", but don't hold it up now, it's not a pity to waste a lot of resources.
"Terror Cycle" (2022), good film index 46 points
Asa Butterfield starred in Netflix's thriller "The Cycle of Terror" in the run-up to "Sex Study Room". The idea of the movie is good, the killing scenes are quite interesting, and the atmosphere is okay, at least not particularly boring.
But this momentum did not last long, and the film went downhill after the opening. The script is really bad, with an illogical narrative, a plot full of holes, full of clichés of a regular thriller.
The movie is only 84 minutes long, but I still can't resist the urge to fast forward because the characterization and crossplay are really unattractive. The movie as a whole is very empty, almost relying on a brain hole, which is very disappointing.
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (2022), good film index 45 points
Since the first "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" came out in 1974, this theme has produced many sequels, sequels and remakes, in the final analysis, they are all American-style plasma slashing films, which are a little fresh when they first watch it, and they are sick to their stomachs when they watch more.
The new version of the work in 2022 learns the routine of the rebooted version of "Moonlight Panic", allowing the elderly Laurie to fight the murderous demon again. But this feeling of the movie has become self-inflicted, and the movie has no highlights except for wild blood plasma.
Fortunately, the length of the 84-minute film is short and concise, the plot advances fast enough, and there is no foreshadowing, that is, from the beginning to the end, audiences who do not have a special preference for hacking and killing films please detour, even old fans of the series will find the story inexplicable.
"Black Gold Rescue" (2022), good film index 37 points
Liam Nathan ushered in the second spring of his career after "Hurricane Rescue", various action thriller movies one after another, and the country was also unified into "XX Rescue", creating a "rescue universe".
In recent years, action movies have declined, and the audience still needs it, and the uncle just joined forces with Gerard Butler of "XX Fall" to fill this gap. But when it comes to "Black Gold Rescue", I want to say, it's really enough!
The plot of the movie is boring and mediocre, and the story direction is embarrassingly stunned. This time, even the fight was very perfunctory, and the action scenes had no highlights. If there is really nothing to shoot, it is better to retire early, at least it can leave a good thought for the audience.
"365 Days: Desire Now" (2022) + "365 Days: Tomorrow's Desire", Good Film Index 35
The Polish erotic films "365 Days: Desire Now" and "365 Days: Tomorrow's Desire" produced by Netflix came out on top, becoming the two worst foreign-language films of 2022.
Two brainless little yellow films, the story is completely absent, that is, a BGM with a picture, that is, a super long MV, not even many lines, I think these two films should not be evaluated by the standards of the film at all.
But then again, the production of erotic movies has also been low in recent years, and Netflix is a good company that is anxious for the audience, and I have no problem getting involved in this theme. But since the money has been spent, please do it better next time.
Well, the 10 worst foreign language movies of 2022 are listed here, in fact, the movie is not annoying if it is badly made, and it has nothing to do with me if I don't watch it. But some of the film configurations look very good, making the audience full of expectations, but disappointed, which is the most hateful.
