This "Emoji movie" is supposed to be a movie for a kids and only autistic shit like it since even smart kids dislike it.
My 8-years old cousin called this movie straight away "bad" when I wanted to give it to him this morning. Looks like bad fame is in front of it before people even watch it.
Right. He called it bad before even having the chance to watch it. I'm sure you can count on his opinion to be very unbiased.
You can bet that he's just jumping on the hate-train that's been going strong for no good reason.
Good to see that the internet can ruin kid's fun before they even get to watch it.

Being "for kids" isn't a universal safeguard against any negative review.
kind of is. Most of the criteria that you'd apply to review normal movies aren't very useful when applied to kids movies, because kids don't generally care about that stuff.
Overused, boring tropes? Kids dont care - not useful.
Superficial themes? Kids definitely not care - Definitely not useful.
Coherent storyline? Sorta useful but not really since again - kids often dont care.
Predictability? Kids don't care.
You see.. I'd totally agree that the emoji movie isn't a good movie, just from watching the trailer. But does it work as a kids movie? Hell yeah it does!
Does that mean you can't be critical? Of course not, you can do whatever you want. You can even apply the same standards to it that you'd apply to adult movies and write a review that is completely missing the point.
A movie can be unbearably awful for adults and still work really well for kids - and there's nothing wrong with that. Saying that it's not a good kids movie because
ADULTS DONT LIKE IT, seems like some of the most obviously retarded things I've ever read in my entire life. Just think about that statement for a second.
It's not a good kids movie because adults don't like it.
So, honest opinion. Emoji-movie just looked like the typical kids movie to me, with the typical tropes, supposedly typical plot development and so on. It's not the next Frozen, and it's probably gonna be just as enjoyable for adults to watch as Bee movie. But let me ask you. Did kids like bee movie? (spoiler: yes, they did.)
Conclusion: There's nothing wrong with it and the internet just likes circlejerking things out of proportion and ruining the movie for kids. I don't think that even half of the people that downvoted the trailer actually watched the movie. But oh well. Maybe it really is shit. Not like i'm gonna watch it to find out.
