PART ONE: EMOJI MOVIE
Ladies and Gentleman, my name is The Reagmaster/Nicole Haze/Geek772/Just Kevin/stonecoldsamadams/TheFrostyBlur/Reag Master Yoda/The Lokimaster/The Wellsmaster/the guy that literally copied these names from my profile. WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY NAMES/Mc’Lovin. Because turns out I look like the guy? I don’t know…. introduction went nicely only 41 words to say my own freaking name. Got it anyway so because I don’t have enough projects to work on with RWK. And doing reviews for wrestling shows when Jacob falls asleep or is very heavily drunk or just doesn’t want to because…. *shrugs* And being a GFX guy. And Cat-hater. And Impersonator. I feel like this entire first paragraph is just me listing basic stuff about me. huh.
So I thought why not add another one to that list? So this is gonna be a kinda movie review thing. I will add notes while I’m watching it of course. Hence there’s “reaction” in the title. Y’know what? Don’t want to do the explanation so deal with it. You’ll find out as I go along with the first movie which is the Emoji Movie.
Synopsis: This animated comedy takes place in Textopolis, a world inside a smartphone that's inhabited by various emojis. There, an emoji named Gene (voiced by T.J. Miller) is ashamed that he has multiple facial expressions while his colleagues only have one each, and he embarks on a quest to be like everyone else. James Corden, Anna Faris, Jennifer Coolidge, Patrick Stewart, and Maya Rudolph also lend their voices to this film from Sony Pictures Animation.
Emoji Movie. The movie I swore to myself I wasn’t gonna see because of the fact that it’s just a film so Sony Entertainment can get money. But I am because… Jacksfilms got me into the hype dammit. So as much as its been said as the worst movie ever which I will never agree with as long as the birdemic movies are a thing, I will still watch it and the worst thing that can happen is I might laugh at how bad this film is. Okay….please help me, lets do this.
T
Ah shit, I didn’t realise this was a hotel Transylvania short before this. Is that what’s it called? Don’t know. I didn’t even know the daughter of the vampire & the hipster kid had a baby….So Vampires still now have a dog. A massive dog. And a family of skeletons check into the hotel. I like this. That’s good.
Anyway onto the actual movie.
Okay, so theres the kid….who has a crush on a girl. Who texts him. This never happened to me in high school. Never. Hell, phones weren’t even allowed during breaks unless you were staff or 6th form. There was also the rule about you can’t wear coats inside. They don’t care that it’s pouring down with rain, you had to take your coat off BEFORE you got inside. It was very strict.
Another thing, I don’t understand why people get way too nervous infront of their crush in school in tvs. I never had that problem. I just talked to them like they were any other normal friend. But then again, probably explains why I’ve been friendzoned way too much. Probably. I’m talking too much about my high school in this, I feel like.
Okay as we get introduced to the world of the emoji, I have to say that this animation is great. It’s very vibrant.
Oh and there’s Patrick Stewart voicing Poop…..He went from Logan to this. Okie dokie.
Why does this smiler character remind me of the unicorn from the Lego Movie? I dislike that.
I forgot James Corden was in this movie. I love League of Their Own and Corden’s talk show so atleast he’s getting some movie roles. Don’t talk to me about that stupid musical into the woods!
Already can tell those parents are gonna be very annoying to me..
This kid is on his phone infront of class with the book down? How is he not getting caught before he sends the text message? And how is a meh emoji a good thing to send to a girl for the first text message to her! The Thumbs up part atleast made sense!
And of course, he messes up the emoji and now the entire cube…..why would you not jump off onto a person again?
It’s bad when you find out what’s gonna be the lesson at the start of the movie. Oh. Be different! Don’t be the same as everyone else. Not the first time this has happened in a movie, gotta say.
Okay Gene’s dad is a dick.
Yea…the Smiller is like the unicorn but the villain version. Cranked to 20.
Did we just find wild style of the emoji movie in highfive.
Textopolis…..could be worse.
“Talk to the hand, red wagon.” “But…I am talking to the hand” Okay that got me. dammit. I'm ashamed.
Wechat? I never heard of this app. And I don’t like it
And there’s a facebook app. Which you could get confused with for the tumblr app. Because popularity is “key”
Is it bad that this is the first time that I’ve heard of a skin? I was taught this by the emoji movie. Wow.
….Okay we found the Wild Style! She’s called jailbreak and what are the odds that shes gonna end up being the princess that they keep talking about?
Well atleast the trolls got obliterated by the bots in this movie. I like it.
And we’re in the candy crush saga. As a person who played Candy Crazy Saga once. I am slightly entertained.
And meanwhile the kid continues to be awkward to the girl and the candy crush app makes noises which messes up the poor kid’s game completely. Get it? Game? Ha.
And Greg dies again. I mean Gene. One of them two. Okay, this is the second time this movie has disappointed me by almost killing Gene but not actually killing him. I feel robbed.
OMG He’s fat! Oh now, nope, just squished against the glass. Funny. Not.
…We were given the map and I DON’T WANT TO GO TO THE JUST DANCE APP! PLEASE NO! I DON’T WANT TO SEE THAT! I WILL KICK AND SCREAM DAMMIT! Nooooooooooooooooooo!
We’re 40 minutes in….half way through. I can do this.
Oooh a yotube app. And we’re treated to Pen Pineapple Apple Pen. I hate this. Also I don’t think that’s the name. Also we’re doing a break up then getting back together story. With Gene's parents. Why is this a thing? WHY?
OH NO WE’VE GOT THE JUST DANCE APP! I DON’T LIKE THIS! AHHHHHH! AS A STREET DANCEER I DON’T LIKE THIS! Wait…the song is Wake me up? I love that song and it’s ruined now. WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO. DONT LEAVE ME HANGING ON LIKE A YOYO. Awh...too bad i can't sing that now.
No the break dancing part! As the experienced dancer, me no like it.
ALSO I GOT IT PERFECTLY! Of course she’s the princess.
Well atleast the kid deletes the Just Dance app… that’s good. We also lose High Five. Well James Corden gets peace.
So….the dropbox app is right there. And they go to get the guy who they’ve known for how long?! REASONS PLEASE?!
Oh no….we’re going into the spotify app. Save me.
So the mega robot is created…or the frankenbot. I’m calling it now.
Too many overrated songs in these scene. From cheerleader to watch me whip. ALL OF THE PRODUCT PLACEMENT.
….Hate the fact that the Emoji movies are teaching me stuff about phones. Truly hate it.
Trolls are almost set free but Highfive pulls a dickmove.
Instragram…. which must have a 360 feature according to this film. Nobody told me that. Why did nobody tell me that?
Also turns out…the dad has many emoticans like gene. Okay then, I guess that was very much needed. Would have had more impact if he said it to gene but whatever.
FRANKENBOT ATTACKS! WOOOO! KILL EM!
And they escape into the dropbox….So many apps. I don’t keep track.
And we get to the Firewall which Wild Style can’t get through, So it starts a “hilarious” montage of Gene messing up and he can’t get through until highfive brings up the name of The boy’s crush who is revealed to be Abbie because of a message that Highfive found in the trash that literally quotes the lyrics of the chorus….of you’ll never guess what, Rihanna’s song which is called Diamonds. I mean atleast they didn’t sing it?
So they get through into the Cloud. It’s clear that the meh emoji ain’t gonna become a meh emoji though. Meh
Also Jailbreak friendzones Gene! Because she a sassy emoji who don’t need another emoji! Mhmmmmmmmmmmm! *snaps fingers* Also Gene gets kidnapped by the Frankenbot. So that happens.
Also side note all of the character development done by Jailbreak is conquered by the fact that she does literally whistle and a twitter bird comes and picks them all. She's hated on the stereotypes on princess that they can supposedly do that But they can. *sigh*
So Jail break, Hand and Gene’s parents return and save Gene! But it’s too late as literally everything is getting deleted. But they can send one more text and instead of the dad who can also do every expression, everyone forgets that because Gene’s the main character but he’s now stuck on meh because….friendzones are painful. So now everyones getting deleted but now Gene sends the last text as everything as a emoji. And everything gets restored because unplug phones….well then.
So now kid is supposed to forget all of the glitches? For real? I want this movie to end please. And wildstyle gets the scanner person because why not? Highfives suddenly on the top block because movie ending. And everyones happy as we roll to credits.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Ironically, the dominant emotion one feels watching The Emoji Movie really would be ‘Meh.’ While for some reason my niece and nephew loved this movie, because they like bright things. And very creepy yellow faces.
That is literally only a face, a mother could love. Or a mother could meh about. It’s scary once you stare at it.
But yeah, It is a bad movie and will turn children’s brains into Patrick Stewart’s character. Yea, I bet ya I'm not the first reviewer to do that joke and I won't be the last. Nothing stands out in The Emoji Movie as particularly creative, imaginative or interesting. The plot is formulaic and predictable, and the script is not funny enough to hold one's attention. Run from it.
Anyway.....suggest movies, I should do next. Yea.
