I don't know two of those actors are but Ellen Page has been acting since 2002, her career pretty much has been prolific since 2005's controversial 'Hard Candy'
Mark, you are my favourite critic! Not only because how you talk about films, but also that you review almost everything, and as a bonus, you also make a lot of videos like this for us fans. Thank you!
The only top 10 list I really care about. Only way this format could be improved is if the directors were forced to sit in and listen to Kermode's critique.
Very Bad Things is a great movie though. Agree with Kermode that the producers/director thought the various actors would all just immediately become friends upon meeting, ie not enough rehearsal time so chemistry was all over the place.
I watched Alien Covenant for the first time a couple of nights ago and I actually really liked it. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's not scary, but it is quite tense. More critically, though, I don't see it as an explanation of a true classic or unnecessary exposition. I think it's a wholly different story altogether that simply exists in the same universe. The Xenonormph is not even the main villain and I think that's a bold move by Scott and I appreciate his tenacity. I said the same thing for Rian Johnson and The Last Jedi. Instead of making a 'Star Wars film' in the strictest sense, he made the film he wanted to make that happened to be in the Star Wars universe.
GiRayne The Last Jedi was a messy film, don't get me wrong, but it still excited me and pushed the series in the right direction. And when I say 'right direction', I don't mean that Star Wars films should now have glaring plot holes. I'm saying it because I want to see new things from the Force and the mythology to expand like it does in the comics and animated series. I don't want recapture the magic of the originals; that's impossible. I want new magic.
Mark is absolutely 100% correct in his assessment of Alien : Covenant. People are really missing the extremely valid point he is trying to make. Yes as a "stand alone" film full of tension, excellent special effects and wonderful imagery Covenant is not half bad. In fact I'd even go as far to wager that if the film had been released under an original premise/title and all the Alien franchise and connection removed people would have still enjoyed it. But you see its the film industry so "bums on seats" is the name of the game of course. So they use the franchise to fill the cinemas. What Mark is trying to tell us is that the single underlying factor that made Alien so effective was that neither us nor the crew (emergency subroutines in Ash and Mother for 'just in case' aside) know anything about the Alien. It finds its way on to the Nostromo and the crew are hopelessly ill equipped to deal with it which ramps the tension and almost "lost cause" scenario to the max thus making it one of the most successful and loved films of all time. A bona fide classic in other words. What Covenant does is undermine this. It attempts to explain the whats and whys and hows. We don't need to know this and neither do the crew as they're fighting for their lives. Often in many classic films the old "less is more" is what makes it so successful. We could name Jaws as an exaample - the crappy rubber shark kept breaking down forcing Spielberg to leave it (mainly) out so you only see the fin.... and the world instantly stopped paddling on the beach! A even more poignant example that enforces Mark's argument would be Hitchcock's The Birds. They had a great and scary premise but could not decide on what reason to use as to why the birds just suddenly attack.... so they simply didn't have one! They left it out! And audiences 'flocked' in droves to be terrified by it! But what Hitchcock did NOT do is then make The Birds prequel in an attempt to explain why our feathered friends suddenly turn...... but that is EXACTLY what Covenant exists to do and is why it has upset Mark and other fans of Alien so much.
Just an observation, but I find it surprising that (as a average consumer of film) I’ve heard of all of these films that Mark thinks are the worst, and haven’t ever heard of many of Mark's favourite films.
Totally agree about the new Alien franchise. After having been bored silly by the execrable Prometheus, nobody could induce me to waste more time and money on any of these other "prequels". "Alien" worked so well because it was unexplained, this new series risks making the whole thing into a totally crass mess.
I'm predicting Wolves at the Door will take the No.1 spot. As for me, here are my Top 10 Worst for 2017: Assassin's Creed, Cars 3, Geostorm, Overdrive, The Mountain Between us, The Hitman's Bodyguard, Fist Fight, Rings, The Last Face and The Emoji movie.
I haven't seen the remake of Flatliners (saw the original), but what if, shock horror, one of the main characters had never done / seen / experienced something terrible? They go to the other side, have a lovely time, everything is cozy.
How can you put in Geostorm? You clearly liked it, as you did in your original review of it. It was a popcorn movie that did exactly what it was supposed to do - make you chuckle and be escapist.
yeah, alien covenant was dumb, but it was gloriously dumb. I went into having only seen the first alien film, and it was a wild and bizarre ride. (plus the flute scene - so damn funny) my worst film of the year was fifty shades 2 because I went into it expecting nothing and was still disappointed.
Dogboy73 I think that was the point. You can make people uncomfortable by advancing on them sexually. I think that was partially the horror of the thing.
Don't know if you enjoyed the first Alien, but if you did you should really have stuck on Aliens or really anything else rather than pay to see fifty shades 2
colinthedogfromspaced oh I got paid to see it I'm a movie reviewer lol and it's become sort of a tradition that i thoroughly tear it apart every time they come out
Alien Covenant is a guilty pleasure. While I get the criticism, I can't help but feel I'm watching a mash-up of Alien, Aliens, and Prometheus. As someone who doesn't really care too much about the lore, and just enjoys the universe, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Henry Cavill's removed facial hair has been greatly exaggerated by critics. 3 minutes at the start of the film is all it was. Rest of it, you hardly notice.
Is it wrong that the more terrible I hear Geostorm is, the more I want to see it? Hell, even the one sentence summary makes it sound like Avengers, (Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, Sean Connery), the weaponised weather.
I respect Mark's opinion quite a lot, but to include Justice League on the worst of 2017 is just petty. I mean, is the CGI worst than Rogue One's? Or the plot dumber than The Last Jedi's? Even so, including the movie on such a limited list allows for far worse movies not to be on it, which, sure, there will be a part 2 with five more but there are still way more than 5 bad movies (Just out of the top of my head: Assassin's Creed, Ghost in the Shell, Boo 2, A Madea Halloween, Chips, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Leatherface, Transformers The Last Knight, The Emoji Movie and Boss Baby... And this excluding Netflix's movis such as The Babysitter or Sandy Wexler) So, again, it was just petty...
Mark, in the event that you actually read these comments: PLEASE PLAY OR WATCH ALIEN ISOLATION. It does everything an Alien game needs to do pretty much making for an experience on par ... possibly better? ... than the original film. Let's pretend Covenant doesn't exist.
i actually wanted the background story to Alien just not in the stupid way they are doing it. not in an anthology manor/attempt they are delivering. Prometheus i was game, but then Covenant ruined what ever hope i had.
I agree completely with your thoughts about Alien Covenant. With regards to hiding a dead stripper's body, 'Very Bad Things' managed to make the idea darkly humorous.
Yeah... I don't Mark... I understand that the list is subjective. But putting Alien as one of the worst films of the year is a little bit of a stretch. The acting, the filmmaking and the pace/structure of the script is good. You are basically judging it by your disappointment of the story because of the attachment you have to the original which is... well... very subjective but you have the right for it. That said, one of the most disappointing films of the year - yes, a dishonorable mention in worst films of the year - maybe, one of the worst - I don't see it. Sorry, but I would argue you lack the arguments for it.
I really don't know why I watch these best of/worst of videos or yours as I find it so, so hard to get past your supercilious drivelings that any lists are rendered entirely meaningless.
Dumbfounded at covenant being on this list. It was a great film. Maybe you're not into world building, and that's fine, but to put it in the same list as some of these absolute howlers is mean spirited. If people want another Alien, or Aliens, go and watch the excellent remasters. But don't kill a haunting, original, and beautifully set and acted horror sci fi simply because it's not the film you wanted it to be.
Paul Dennett the pointlessness of the movie and the utter stupidity of the characters made me hate it. Justice League left me feeling "OK that was a thing, what's next"? So I would disagree.
Who knew a Gerard Butler film would be terrible? oh wait, me! P.S I love you was dreadful and 300 was all style and no substance - and that's about the only two films he's actually made any effort to act in. Hayden Christensen's a better actor. FACT!
Awwww, I must be in the minority who enjoyed Justice League... Apart from the idiotic storyline, forgettable villain, weird CGI over all, and that last act, I quite enjoyed the movie... Unlike the previous BvS it wasn't a boring epileptic inducer and unlike Suicide Squad, it wasn't a silly 2 hour long music video...
Paul Dennett Aha, so you admit it was enjoyable... 😉😉😉 On a more serious note, the fact that it was enjoyable should have counted for something... Like the good Dr Kermode himself says, 6 laughs = comedy... Similarly, 6 enjoyable moments should = not the worst movie as some people people would have you believe...
Shirou Emiya, Shitlord of Justice Yasss Hunty, drag me with your sick burns!!! But surely, you must do comedy... Your material is 100% original just like your name... You'll go far, but you'll have to get off the internet and being a tuō diào...
Shirou Emiya, Shitlord of Justice yass Hunty yasss... slay slay slay that wit... yasss drag me... show me your Tuō diào powers... yass queen... yasss queen... yaaaaaassssss queennnnn.... No, but seriously, yassssssssssssssss queeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn....
I wouldn't rank Moonlight anywhere near greatness. Two mediocre acts followed by a dead third act are hardly the stuff of greatness. I think people have lost their minds on this one.
Stupid production companies made Ridley Scott make an alien themed film. He really wanted to make a human creation story, but they shoehorned an alien theme in that confuses and destroys the whole concept of what he really wanted to do.
Beboos American Deli & Gelato He wants to make an Alien film with no aliens in it. The sooner Ridley is removed from the franchise the better, his heart clearly isn't in it.
Exactly your argument against alien covenant is the argument against The Last Jedi. Move the story on, by all means, but don't do so by undermining the originals/original characters. That plus the several other more basic issues with it, of course.
Edward Chester The difference is that Alien Covenant is a prequel that reveals the original of the creatures, which dilutes how scary they are. Last Jedi moved the story forward, and doesn't damage the existing movies at all. In fact it actually improves on them, by ignoring that midichlorian nonsense from Episode I and reafirming that anyone can become a Jedi.
It doesn't matter that one's a prequel and the other a sequel, it's about how watching one retroactively affects ones viewing and opinion of the other. The portrayal of Luke in this film fundamentally undermines ones view of him in the originals. It's far from my only complaint about the film - and had it been handled better it wouldn't have been one at all - but it is one of them.
C'mon Justice League might not be great it's nowhere worst ten standards. Mark falls over himself over TLJ... must be collecting brown envelopes from Disney.
No, TLJ was nowhere near a mess, never mind a mess comparable to Justice League. But since you're talking along the lines of critics being paid by Disney to not like DC films, I think you're past the point of reasonable discussion. Yup, it's all a conspiracy...whatever makes you feel better.
Honestly I haven't seen TLJ, going to watch it tomorrow, but it's going to have to fail spectacularly to be anywhere near the jumbled mess that JL was. I was hyped for that film, and my expectations were shot down within minutes.
I still find it a little depressing that Ellen Page, James Norton and Diego Luna actually CHOSE to be in that awful Flatliners remake.
I don't know two of those actors are but Ellen Page has been acting since 2002, her career pretty much has been prolific since 2005's controversial 'Hard Candy'
"It's the sequel no one wanted to the film no one remembered in the first place". Classic Kermode
Mark, you are my favourite critic! Not only because how you talk about films, but also that you review almost everything, and as a bonus, you also make a lot of videos like this for us fans.
Thank you!
spinakker Movies with Mikey is better though
BigHenFor they are different though, so it doesn't make much sense to compare them. Mark is a critic, Mickey is a video essayist.
I love both, btw
I saw Geostorm in the cinema -Mark is right . It's so bad it's comically entertaining
That does it. Tonight I'm getting stoned and going to see Geo Storm.
Excellent idea. How was it?
bensley56 I woke up the next day sick. I believe it so bad it gave me bronchitis. Stay away if you value your life.
The only top 10 list I really care about. Only way this format could be improved is if the directors were forced to sit in and listen to Kermode's critique.
Pat H Michael Bay, strapped to a chair- his presence is expected.
‘Rough Night’ is basically an exact copy of ‘Very bad things’ with Christian Slater
AndysMTBlife that's what I thought when he mentioned the dead stripper. Nothing like hangover really
I thought the same up until the point where they kill the "stripper", after that Very Bad Things is a much better movie.
Definitely is.. VBT is a great, subversive dark comedy. Very underrated!
Very Bad Things is a great movie though. Agree with Kermode that the producers/director thought the various actors would all just immediately become friends upon meeting, ie not enough rehearsal time so chemistry was all over the place.

I wish you would do the worst films part first then best films after. It would give something to anticipate
My list (based on Chicago release dates):
- 10 - 9/11
- 9 - 47 Meters Down
- 8 - Table 19
- 7 - The Belko Experiment
- 6 - Suburbicon
- 5 - Tulip Fever
- 4 - CHiPs
- 3 - The Dinner
- 2 - The Bye Bye Man
- 1 - The Snowman
Just an observation, but I find it surprising that (as a average consumer of film) I’ve heard of all of these films that Mark thinks are the worst, and haven’t ever heard of many of Mark's favourite films.
Louis Johnson Cough cough THE EXORCIST cough cough
Hahaha Touché.
Yea, he really likes cartoons & horror movies.
Hello butwhad is certainly on a roll at the moment.
Mr. Wapojif moon the loon is always watching
One of those "open the door" scenes in the trailer has kept me from seeing Alien Covenant.
Dunno about anyone else but me and my friend were laughing our heads off when we saw the plane suddenly appear in the Geostorm trailer.
Get back to reading!
aren't you a tankie now or something
Totally agree about the new Alien franchise. After having been bored silly by the execrable Prometheus, nobody could induce me to waste more time and money on any of these other "prequels". "Alien" worked so well because it was unexplained, this new series risks making the whole thing into a totally crass mess.
Sheesh. Almost every single critique he leveled against Alien could be leveled against star wars the last jedi.
When you did the Justice League intro I thought, oh God, what happened to his face, did he have a stroke?
Gerald butler really needs to call guy Ritchie
I'm predicting Wolves at the Door will take the No.1 spot. As for me, here are my Top 10 Worst for 2017: Assassin's Creed, Cars 3, Geostorm, Overdrive, The Mountain Between us, The Hitman's Bodyguard, Fist Fight, Rings, The Last Face and The Emoji movie.
I'm about 3 remakes/sequels/prequels/reboots away from feeding myself into a combine harvester
"Rough Night", why I am thinking of "Weekend At Bernie's". Comedy good-taste award, then.
Why would Mr. Kermode be surprised that #9 would make the list?
That’s kinda harsh to put Justice League and Alien Covenant and Justice League on here. Geostorm and Rough Night were what were expecting.
I love this channel but the audio is a real problem. I could barely hear Mark without turning off my fan.
Haha, GeoStorm was one of my favourite bad movies this year. There were several moments where people laughed out loud in the screening I was in.
I couldn't even finish watching Alien Covenant it felt so dumb.
I haven't seen the remake of Flatliners (saw the original), but what if, shock horror, one of the main characters had never done / seen / experienced something terrible? They go to the other side, have a lovely time, everything is cozy.
Get the volume up !
Mark, turn up the volume!
I wish the order of these top 10s were reversed - I’d prefer to end up with the top 5 best films rather than the top 5 worst films
Alien covenant makes the Star Wars Prequels seem like master works
How can you put in Geostorm? You clearly liked it, as you did in your original review of it. It was a popcorn movie that did exactly what it was supposed to do - make you chuckle and be escapist.
yeah, alien covenant was dumb, but it was gloriously dumb. I went into having only seen the first alien film, and it was a wild and bizarre ride. (plus the flute scene - so damn funny)

X
Can't wait for the remake of mystic pizza. They remade flat liners ffs
spot on, what a load of utter rubbish and its going to get worse
These will all be sky movies only pics in the next year
Mark's impression of Henry Cavill lool
I don't get the backlash for Alien: Covenant. It's one of the best films of the year in my opinion. Rough Night, however, is indeed garbage.
But where will Pirates of the Caribbean 5 be? I'm going for number 3.
so rough night ripped off very bad things?
I respect Mark's opinion quite a lot, but to include Justice League on the worst of 2017 is just petty.
I mean, is the CGI worst than Rogue One's? Or the plot dumber than The Last Jedi's?
Even so, including the movie on such a limited list allows for far worse movies not to be on it, which, sure, there will be a part 2 with five more but there are still way more than 5 bad movies (Just out of the top of my head: Assassin's Creed, Ghost in the Shell, Boo 2, A Madea Halloween, Chips, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Leatherface, Transformers The Last Knight, The Emoji Movie and Boss Baby... And this excluding Netflix's movis such as The Babysitter or Sandy Wexler)
So, again, it was just petty...
Geostorm’s cover looks like a rip off of Inception’s cover.
Mark, in the event that you actually read these comments: PLEASE PLAY OR WATCH ALIEN ISOLATION. It does everything an Alien game needs to do pretty much making for an experience on par ... possibly better? ... than the original film. Let's pretend Covenant doesn't exist.
You're talking about a totally different medium. This is about movies, not video games.
Knew geostorm would make this list, as soon as I saw the trailer
I knew it would make the list as soon as I saw the poster. 😜
Is the Scarlet Witch in the remake Flatliners?
Did he watch The Bye Bye Man?
Gotta disagree with Mark about the original Flatliners. I remember it well and really like it too.
Alien: Covenant totally disagree. I can only think that Jackie & Free Fire are in the top 5 then
I agree😣
geostorm has literally ripped off the font and front cover of inception.
i actually wanted the background story to Alien just not in the stupid way they are doing it. not in an anthology manor/attempt they are delivering. Prometheus i was game, but then Covenant ruined what ever hope i had.
I agree completely with your thoughts about Alien Covenant. With regards to hiding a dead stripper's body, 'Very Bad Things' managed to make the idea darkly humorous.
2:55 Dr Sebastian Gorka!
If you don't want to know the backstory for alien then Maybe don't watch the film?
Alien Covenant 👽 - Disagree.
Justice League - Agreed.
The Crimes of Grindelwald Fantastic Beasts i quite enjoyed Justice League tbh, but i respect your opinion man. Covenant was decent as well i thought
dynamo I respect your opinion as well. 😁
Alien: Covenant gets way too much hate.
Alex Meyer Agreed.
Yeah... I don't Mark... I understand that the list is subjective. But putting Alien as one of the worst films of the year is a little bit of a stretch. The acting, the filmmaking and the pace/structure of the script is good. You are basically judging it by your disappointment of the story because of the attachment you have to the original which is... well... very subjective but you have the right for it. That said, one of the most disappointing films of the year - yes, a dishonorable mention in worst films of the year - maybe, one of the worst - I don't see it. Sorry, but I would argue you lack the arguments for it.
No Rough Night is a girl on girl movie
Hmm.
A good list.
As usual, DC earned it!
I really don't know why I watch these best of/worst of videos or yours as I find it so, so hard to get past your supercilious drivelings that any lists are rendered entirely meaningless.
Dumbfounded at covenant being on this list. It was a great film. Maybe you're not into world building, and that's fine, but to put it in the same list as some of these absolute howlers is mean spirited. If people want another Alien, or Aliens, go and watch the excellent remasters. But don't kill a haunting, original, and beautifully set and acted horror sci fi simply because it's not the film you wanted it to be.
Alien Covenant was unnecessary yes, but still rather enjoyable as an action film
Nailed It!!!
alien covenant better than justice league, is Mark on Dugs
Alien Covenant is MUCH more well made, while being just as dumb and squandering just as much potential.
Paul Dennett the pointlessness of the movie and the utter stupidity of the characters made me hate it. Justice League left me feeling "OK that was a thing, what's next"? So I would disagree.
You mispronounced number 8. It's called Josstice League.
PARDON?
Gerard Butler always gets in the Top 10.
Butlers back 😂
Justice League was just OK 48/100 PS Alien Covenant 75/100
Star Wars the Last Jedi #3
Super glad to see Covenant there. It deserves it
Strongly disagree on Alien: Covenant. It’s one of my favourites of the year
Justice League was not that bad it was a lot of fun.
Alien Covenant is ok, kind of underwhelming and forgettable.
Who knew a Gerard Butler film would be terrible? oh wait, me! P.S I love you was dreadful and 300 was all style and no substance - and that's about the only two films he's actually made any effort to act in. Hayden Christensen's a better actor. FACT!
UK cinemars
I really really liked the original Flatliners. Maybe you had to be a 14 year old girl to appreciate it 😃. This remake looked properly terrible though.
I made a video of my best and worst films of 2017. Would love some feedback: ua-cam.com/video/JQom2ng8iic/v-deo.html
Awwww, I must be in the minority who enjoyed Justice League... Apart from the idiotic storyline, forgettable villain, weird CGI over all, and that last act, I quite enjoyed the movie... Unlike the previous BvS it wasn't a boring epileptic inducer and unlike Suicide Squad, it wasn't a silly 2 hour long music video...
That doesn't really make it good. Being more enjoyable than two absolute stinkers doesn't make it good.
Paul Dennett Aha, so you admit it was enjoyable... 😉😉😉
On a more serious note, the fact that it was enjoyable should have counted for something... Like the good Dr Kermode himself says, 6 laughs = comedy... Similarly, 6 enjoyable moments should = not the worst movie as some people people would have you believe...
Tell me, what's it like to pass judgement on a stranger on the internet because their opinions don't match your opinions?
Shirou Emiya, Shitlord of Justice Yasss Hunty, drag me with your sick burns!!!
But surely, you must do comedy...
Your material is 100% original just like your name...
You'll go far, but you'll have to get off the internet and being a tuō diào...
Shirou Emiya, Shitlord of Justice yass Hunty yasss... slay slay slay that wit... yasss drag me...
show me your Tuō diào powers...
yass queen...
yasss queen...
yaaaaaassssss queennnnn....
No, but seriously, yassssssssssssssss queeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn....
Alien: Covenant is much better than Moonlight.
As much as I loved Alien: Covenant, I would not rank it anywhere near Moonlight in terms of greatness.
I wouldn't rank Moonlight anywhere near greatness. Two mediocre acts followed by a dead third act are hardly the stuff of greatness. I think people have lost their minds on this one.
No, I think you can't realize great film when it looks at you in the face.
The description of Alien Cov should also be the review for Star Wars. Although Star Wars is mildly more enjoyable.
Honourable mention : star wars reboot
No i won't have that. TLJ is good fun entertainment.
Christo vimal The Last Jedi was excellent. And it's a sequel, not a reboot.
I haven’t seen it but i feel like Rough Night isn’t that bad. If you look who’s involved it should be quite good actually. Will watch it soon probz
C00Lefaab You should start a UA-cam channel reviewing movies you haven't seen.
LastBankJob no thanks
C00Lefaab
Don't bother, it really is that bad.
Rough Night is one of the most misogynistic movies ever made.
Stupid production companies made Ridley Scott make an alien themed film. He really wanted to make a human creation story, but they shoehorned an alien theme in that confuses and destroys the whole concept of what he really wanted to do.
Beboos American Deli & Gelato, ridley made the film he wanted to make. He knew what he had signed up for before he committed himself.
I would have watched a human creation story. ☹️ he’s such a great director I can’t believe he was happy with the trash he put out in covenant
Beboos American Deli & Gelato He wants to make an Alien film with no aliens in it. The sooner Ridley is removed from the franchise the better, his heart clearly isn't in it.
Exactly your argument against alien covenant is the argument against The Last Jedi. Move the story on, by all means, but don't do so by undermining the originals/original characters. That plus the several other more basic issues with it, of course.
Well I skipped TLJ because of Covenant !

Ah, another "critics are shills" conspiracy theorist. JL was a mess.
Justice League was such a bland, uninspired shitshow that it made BVS look like The Dark Knight.
Quiznor DatJizznor I agree but you're telling me TLJ wasn't?
No, TLJ was nowhere near a mess, never mind a mess comparable to Justice League. But since you're talking along the lines of critics being paid by Disney to not like DC films, I think you're past the point of reasonable discussion.
Yup, it's all a conspiracy...whatever makes you feel better.
Honestly I haven't seen TLJ, going to watch it tomorrow, but it's going to have to fail spectacularly to be anywhere near the jumbled mess that JL was. I was hyped for that film, and my expectations were shot down within minutes.
