There have been several disappointments this year, but I do not have one that jumps out as the obvious winner of this award. It was a tough choice.

Runners-Up: I thought about The Flash, but it already won the John Carter Award and I did not hate The Flash. Napoleon was much less than I expected. It was clear that much of the movie had been cut out. I left Book Club: The Next Chapter early because I did not feel well, but I never felt the need to go back and see the ending. Ghosted should have been better with Chris Evans. Nope, it wasn’t. The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Once & Always was just a waste of time. Paint was not the biopic of Bob Ross as I hoped. Shazam: Fury of the Gods was one of the worst comic book movies this year and quite a come down from the excellent first film. Adam Driver and dinosaurs? How could that go wrong? 65 figured out how. 

Winner: Next Goal Wins

Taika Waititi’s latest film was a real disappointment. I had liked the trailers and I was looking forward to seeing it. Jo Jo Rabbit was one of my all-time favorites. I loved Thor: Ragnarok. Taika Waititi had a solid track record with me.

And then Next Goal Wins was just a huge disappointment. It had a lot going for it, but it was just not funny or entertaining.
