Gal Gadot and Chris Evans’ Netflix Disasters Branded Worst Movies of 2023 Along With Ezra Miller’s The Flash
In 2023, the entertainment landscape has flourished with diverse content from numerous streaming platforms and theaters. Among the cinematic offerings, there have been standout gems that garnered universal praise. Yet, within this tapestry of cinematic riches lie the unfortunate few films.
Surprisingly, even revered talents like Wonder Woman actor Gal Gadot and Captain America star Chris Evans haven’t been immune to this cinematic misfortune. In this exploration of cinematic lows, we delve into the abyss to uncover the most egregious cinematic blunders that managed to disappoint audiences and critics alike.
Ghosted
Despite the promising combination of Ana de Armas and Chris Evans in the thrilling romantic adventure Ghosted, the film hasn’t quite captured the hearts of reviewers. Despite their star power, the chemistry between Evans and the Blonde star feels lacking, exacerbated by a script that falls short. As evidenced by its meager 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie appears to have missed the mark despite its high-profile cast.
In the film, Evans portrays Cole, a character who unexpectedly falls for Sadie (played by De Armas) on their first date. When Sadie mysteriously disappears, Cole embarks on a journey across Europe to locate her and ensure her safety. As the story unfolds, it’s revealed that Sadie is, in fact, a special forces agent, pulling Cole into a perilous web of conspiracy. However, this narrative feels overly familiar, leading many critics to believe that Ghosted lacks the freshness and originality needed to stand out in its genre.
Unfortunately, the film’s premise, although intriguing, seems eerily familiar, echoing echoes of past genre offerings. Despite the promising elements of genre, plotline, and cast, Ghosted seems to have fallen short of creating a compelling and memorable cinematic experience.
Heart Of Stone
Netflix’s Heart of Stone generated considerable excitement upon its announcement, largely due to the casting of Gal Gadot, renowned for her stellar performances and versatile acting across various genres. However, despite Gadot’s esteemed reputation, the film failed to capture the hearts of audiences and critics alike. Gadot’s involvement initially heightened expectations for the movie, but as it unfolded, criticism emerged.
Heart of Stone faced scathing reviews globally, earning a dismal 30% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, solidifying its place among Netflix’s labeled worst movies. The critiques aimed at Heart of Stone spanned various aspects, from storyline weaknesses to pacing issues, ultimately leading to a lack of engagement from the audience.
The Flash
Ezra Miller’s The Flash has unfortunately etched its name in the annals of superhero movie history as one of the poorest performers ever to grace the big screen. From its debut, the movie swiftly descended into a box-office catastrophe. However, the woes didn’t just stem from its lackluster financial reception. Unfortunately, director Andy Muschietti’s vision for the film seemed to extinguish whatever goodwill the protagonist had earned.
The movie began with a bizarre and outlandish opening scene involving falling babies, a sequence that perplexed audiences and set an unsettling tone. This disheartening start segued into a plot trapped in a tiresome infinite-loop narrative, further compounded by subpar visual effects.
Financially, The Flash failed to sprint at the box office, grossing a meager $270.6 million globally. Its lackluster performance positioned it among the most significant box office disasters of all time, forecasting a staggering $200 million loss for Warner Bros.
