THE TOP 17 WORST FILMS OF 2019
17. GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS
16. GODZILLA: THE PLANET EATER
15. IT CHAPTER TWO
Lazy jump scares and poor lighting. Half-baked horror. No chemistry between the leads. Perfunctory dialogue. A dire adaptation of the novel. After his performance in IT [2017], this could have been an opportunity for Bill Skarsgård to be in contention for a best supporting actor nomination, but CHAPTER TWO let him down.

14. COLOR OUT OF SPACE
Tired horror gubbins. Is this meant to be a pastiche? Anyhow, it's a tedious experience. Nic Cage's brand of acting causes a few chortles.

13. THE ANTENNA
12. ZOMBI CHILD
11. GHOST TOWN ANTHOLOGY
10. THE INFORMER
The bland title epitomises the film. I want to say a better movie was in here, but can’t. A generic crime flick that grates rather than stimulates.

9. PINK WALL
8. SERENITY
7. TERMINATOR: DARK FATE
6. AVENGERS: ENDGAME
5. JOKER
The most overrated movie of 2019. If you want to see a better film about class warfare, see SNOWPIERCER [2013]. If you want to see a better film where an actor loses a tonne of weight, has his character become a sociopath, and causes mayhem, see NIGHTCRAWLER [2014].
