Top 10 Biggest Problems with The Emoji Movie


The Top Ten Biggest Problems with The Emoji Movie



If it's ripping off 3 already pretty mediocre movies (at least in my opinion anyway), then you know it's not gonna be good. - 3DG20

Ralph got his revenge on Gene Meh in his new sequel, but with WAY more product placement, going as far as ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING Disney related, Anti Virus companies and Fortnite. Not even Emoji Movie is stupid enough to go that far. Wreck it Ralph 2 is The Emoji Movie ripoff taken too far.

What a load of BS! Ralph was the one who ripped it of only to get "revenge" on Gene for ripping him off first.

2 It's a Movie About Emojis

So what, there was a movie about cars that sold really well. The Emoji is a fine movie and you shouldn't hate something that literally every other movie has. - MarioMaster101



In my perspective, this movie makes Fifty Shades of Grey look like the best movie ever created on the face of this planet - KingSlayer93316

The lego movie was based on toys that hurt when you step on them but yet everyone loves it. I don't understand when a company makes a movie about overrated bricks it's so good but when you make a movie based on faces to express something in text it's the worst thing ever. - B1ueNew

Here's the thing: Emojis are trends common to the internet and social media; LEGO is something productive.

3 The Jokes Aren't Funny


This movie has not a single chuckle

I laughed at things that weren't supposed to be funny

The movie itself is a joke. - 3DG20

4 It's Boring

If you are just someone who thinks, "Oh there's nothing wrong with the emoji movie! " you are just one of those people who just looks at the screen and watches the things on it move. But if you actually consider the plot, there is literally no point in this whole movie. To be honest, you don't need to even consider the plot to know how terribly boring and pointless this movie is.

Let me just say that most people probably didn't know anything about what the movie ripped off or why it was bad until they maybe watched it again and analyzed it now that they knew what was happened. What they obviously did know was that it was really boring and bad, plain and simple. - EchoX0

To be completely honest, the plot is that a "meh" emoji (already dumb) has a "malfunction" and he can't make a "meh" face (HOW). To fix himself, he makes himself a criminal and takes a hand (high five emoji) with him to find a hacker. They go through various apps (advertised obviously) like just dance, spotify, candy crush, and whatever app those bunny things come from and they have to get to the cloud, another technology thing they tried to turn into a world in this terrible movie. Then the human who owns the phone tries to delete the phone. Somehow the meh emoji decides to send his crush a text making his faces that he can make because he is a malfunction. Somehow, the download pauses for this text, it works, yay. Also, the "Emoji Pop" is plain stupid, like peekaboo with different faces. This whole movie is a bust, and it is insanely boring.

Angry Birds was better than this, and they were pretty much launching themselves at things that are supposed to be pigs

5 It's a Commercial for Mobile Apps

Wreck it Ralph 2 is a ripoff of The Emoji Movie and was made only to get revenge on Sony for ripping them off first. Ralph 2 was a major commercial for the emoji movie but with even more product placement and FORTNITE(Ralph travelling to Fortnite and doing Fortnite dances including flossing and Yesss showing him the battle bus image). Please, Ralph anything but Fortnite. Emoji Movie rocks. FORTNITE SUCKS. At least Gene can't floss as there is no sequel to it so far except if you count its ripoff.


So are other movies like Wreck it Ralph, Lego movie, Some superhero movies etc. Your point is? - B1ueNew

Nobody likes ads! Everyone agrees! How about making an app with just ads, and removing the ads from the other apps. And also, have the ads be more interestingly classic, not modernized. I had enough with modern 2010s commercials which are so annoying. And this movie is a nightmare come true. A movie about nothing but FILLER!

6 The Characters are Uninteresting


At least Akiko Glitter the literally the only character anyone can like

But Gene, Hi 5, and Jailbreak are amazing! - MarioMaster101


7 It's Made by Sony

Honestly, I think Sony makes good movies. Its just that the emoji movie wasn't their best - ILOVEMEHLIFE

Angry birds 2 had fortnite dances in it (chuck did the hype) so the emoji movie 2 is next to be ruined by this bs game

But Sony made good movies, so how is this a reason? I like most Sony movies, especially the emoji movie. - MarioMaster101



8 A Popeye Movie Was Held Back 5 Years Due to It

Hopefully Sony will let Gendy accomplish his life-long dream to direct the movie. By the way, the internet always thinks that the emoji movie was chosen for Popeye. Who even has proof? It may be the same with Adventure Time and FB & CC.

I feel like it's a Mandela effect it wasn't cancelled and one YouTube video said it wasn't delay for the emoji movie. - Lucy1402

I agree! They should've made the Popeye movie instead of this!

Popeye: *eats spinach* It was my chance, until you yellowheads ruin it! *punches the character* - BorisRule

9 The Animation


My character design looks better, which is saying a lot. *glares at concept artist* - Mayor Gene



10 It's Trying to Hard to Be Mainstream

So does every movie that milks out Fortnite references to death, even Avengers Endgame is convicted of doing such action.

The Contenders

11 Inappropriate

See spongebob season 7 and Henry danger to find out what that word means

How is it inappropriate? Even if you hate this movie you can't say that. - MarioMaster101

I hate it but seriously how is it inappropriate? - B1ueNew

Hi 5 has an ass.

12 The Relationship Between Gene and Jailbreak

Here, it works really well. Imagine if they got married in the sequel.


Way too cliche. Also, the scene where they're in that boat rips off the "Kiss the Girl" scene from The Little Mermaid. - Eraser


13 It's Made to Sell Merchandise



14 Horrible Character Design

It makes the character design for The Angry Birds Movie look good

This makes the meeps in Roblox look like babes.


15 Bathroom Humor

The poop emoji says a lot of poop jokes - Lunala

He's a poop, of course he'd do that! - MarioMaster101

16 The Characters are Dumb

Every character is an idiotic rip off!
Gene- The annoying main character who leads us through his shameful life ( who the hell names their child GENE anyways? What did he do to his parents - oh right, exist! )
Hi 5 - Also known as 'Gimmie'(yet another questionable name), this obnoxious character spends half the movie droning and whining about his "looks" and is 70% part of the reason people gave the f fonger to this stir fry of nonsense!
Although only 2% of people voted for because the characters are dumb, it don't mean it ain't true!
I only described two characters, but I'm sure y'all agree you hate all the characters with a passion!
And as we say in Nigeria... THUNDER FIRE THE EMOJI MOVIE!

No they're not! - MarioMaster101

Gene: The typical “i'm DIFFERENT NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME! ” Character
Jailbreak: “I’m a girl! Everyone thinks I’m supposed to be lady like! But I’m not! Again, I’m different and no one gets me! ”
Hi Five: Stupid tag along.
Poop: He is the crap he is.
Smiler: This woman is crazy.

17 No Real Effort Was Put Into It
18 The Human Scenes


All the human characters are basically just robots they're dialogue mostly consists of very short sentences and slangs. - egnomac

I felt sorry for that boy name Alex for getting humiliated by his phone.

But we need them so we can see who the user is. - MarioMaster101

19 The Atrocious Voiceovers


20 The Jokes are Stupid


This movie is a load of-

Poop Emoji: No, go ahead! - Lunala

21 It Has a Poor Plot

It has a normal plot. - MarioMaster101

It has a terrible plot indeed. hotdiggedydemon's own plot is better and he deserves to be the director of a "better sequel for the Emoji Movie" - Lucy1402

22 It's Generic

Gene-ric! Get it? - Lunala

That joke is emoji movie quality

23 Too Much Pee and Poop Jokes

Pee jokes? - MarioMaster101

24 Sir Patrick Stewart is the Poop Emoji


Poor Patrick Stewart his role as a Poop Emoji is going on his resume. - Disneykid00



25 It's Just One Big Ad

To promote emojis, they sell emoji balloons, stickers, etc.

So is ralph breaks the internet

26 It Stereotypes Teens

Teens are not phone freaks, there annoying dumb people who's minds were lost in the storm of adolescence and draw fan art of that crappy game that I despise called "Animal jam"

I agree with this reason. Not all teenagers are on their phones 24/7.

Yah, like, I’m a teen and I am on my phone for, Like, EVER! And I also dress in weird rom clothing, and egg people’s cars. (Sarcasm)

27 Kids Were Begging Too See It as Soon as They Saw the Trailer
28 It Had No Action
29 It's the Worst Movie of 2017

Worst movie of that year. Last jedi is the 2nd worst. - B1ueNew

No, Despicable Me 3 is. - MarioMaster101

You mean the best

All time* - 3DG20

30 Smiler Was a Lame Villain

True. That giant Ralph in Wreck it Ralph 2 was more pointless and so is the older version of Emmet from Lego Movie 2. Both giant Ralph and older Emmet are more pointless villians than Smiler ever was.

Smiler was cool. Smiler wanted to delete Gene because he was a malfunction. That sounds like a reason to be a villain. - MarioMaster101

She doesn't even have a reason to be the villain. She doesn't even have a character development at all.

I wish she won so Gene could have died

31 It's a Movie Version of Teen Titans Go.

I'm waiting to see how Mr. Enter handles this, with all that screaming he does on his Animated Atrocity videos - Neonco31

No, Teen Titans Go To The Movies is. - MarioMaster101

Um, Teen Titans Go! is getting a movie this year in 2018.

Go on, Omoniyi Adenusi! Threaten us for hating Teen Titans Go! as well as The Emoji Movie, I dare you!

Please note the sarcasm of The Ultimate Daredevil.

32 It Has a Liberal Agenda

I believe a more accurate description would be feminist agenda. Granted, radical feminism and even just regular feminism in general is now heavily associated with the left wing of the political spectrum in a low regard these days. That said (and I really don't want to have to talk about politics here), Jailbreak's character and personality did pretty much scream feminist agenda to me. The way Black Critic Guy explains it best, she essentially pushes that she's an independent female rebel who doesn't conform to things she considers to be "sexist". Not to mention that on Twitter, I recall Smiler being used in a promotional parody of a movie or whatever, which garnered some controversy due to its dystopian and feminist nature or whatever is close to what I just described. And remember how people were comparing The Boss Baby character to Donald Trump in terms of appearance and personality? Basically, the same thing happened to Smiler with people comparing her to Hillary Clinton as well. ...more - ModernSpongeBobSucks

Its not feminism or liberal, those words are just words as hate words now.


33 It's a Cash Grab
34 The Only Good Characters are Poop and The Internet Troll

Um, Gene, Hi 5, Jailbreak, Smiler, Mary, Mel, and so many other characters are likeable as well! - MarioMaster101

Trolls are not beings who live on your phone -- they are real-life people. So they got that wrong, too.

You know your movie is bad when the poop emoji has more character and personality than your main character. - egnomac

What about the elderly?

35 All the Characters are Stereotypes and Cliches

I like it when movies send the message to be yourself but not in a cliche way. and yes the characters are cliche

gene- awkward social and doesn't fit in (emitt from lego movie)
Jailbreak- I'm super tough I kick butt I don't really show my feelings I'm a hacker chick (lucy from lego movie)
hi-five-i'm annoying obnoxious comic relief that's selfish (Batman from lego movie)
smiler- I'm the villan that wants to kill the protangonist cause he's dumb and ill discriminate him for his malfunction (sorta like a lot of villans)
genes parents- our sons different we wanna disown him but now we wanna protec him
poop- the only funny character

36 It Tricks Kids Into Liking It

How many times have I heard this stupid myth to just make yourself look cool saying "it tricks insert here into liking it" not just the emoji movie its said that boy bands tricks girls into liking them.

37 It's a Baby Movie

No even babies will hate this movie even if they don't understand what hate is. - egnomac

Only babies like this movie

38 It Disempowers the Female

Jailbreak does the opposite by saying that Gene should not take credit of her ideas that she came up with first before Gene thought about it and said that idea first. She relates this to a real life issue that happened in the past. Here, she is trying to stop this from happening anymore.

39 Plot Holes

In my opinion it had too many plot holes, and didn't go into depth about Jailbreak's backstory of being a princess, and just felt like everythint was so choppy. - Lunala

Would a movie about Emojis have a plot?

40 It Will Have Too Many Twerk Jokes

God help us all.

41 It's Disgusting
42 Gene's Parents are Awful

Super duper lazy parents. They looked like they've never slept in a long time. The only characters in this movie that are useless. - s10484

Mel and Mary are amazing parents! - MarioMaster101

43 The Plot Was Rushed
44 It's Just One Big Cliche
45 It's Just One Big Commercial
46 It Ruined Just Dance

The floss dance can go to hell. that bs ruined wreck it ralph and the simpsons. EVERYBODY DO THE EMOJI POP🙈😆🙈😁😆🙈👩🙈😁🙈😃🙈😗

47 The Name

The Emoji Movie is accurate though. Would you like it more if it was Emojis: Welcome To Textopolis? - MarioMaster101

It says it all - Randomator

Lack of originality in the name itself kinda like certain console. - htoutlaws2012

48 The Plot with the Humans is Uninteresting
49 The Happy Face is Evil

Everyone could have seen that coming they didn't even try to hid it. - egnomac

Smiler was INSANE holy crap - Lunala

50 It’s Preachy
