Throughout the year, the focus on the movie industry is on summer blockbusters. Between your Fast & Furiouses and your MCUs, most of the summer dialogue revolves around things blowing up and people doing things that would kill them in real life. And those movies can be great, but what about the not-so-great movies?
When we say “not-so-great,” what we really mean is “total stinkers.” Not every movie can be the best–or even any good. Some have to be the worst–that’s just how things work. And throughout the year, there have been some movies that have been critically panned by critics.
Going through Metacritic, we found the 20 lowest-scoring movies of 2021, some of which you may have heard of–while others are straight-to-video flicks that passed us all by.
Metacritic aggregates critical reviews from credible journalists around the globe and gives an average score for the films, based on the reviews. For the list below, movies with fewer than seven reviews weren’t considered for the worst films of the year. Metacritic is the sister-site of GameSpot, as both websites are owned by Red Ventures.
