    The animation was kinda cool, i could give an opportunity, but that product placement of candy crush made me think it twice

    Being yellow colour blind really makes this film seem like a poor sad manchild's film noir attempt to me. :oops:

    Technically, the whole movie is product placement.

    I was joking with one of my friends that Sony's probably got their animators working round-the-clock to make the climax into a 1v1 2coolz4skoolz bottle-flipping battle where the emojis throw fidget-spinner shurikens every time they dab.

    I hope that stays a joke.

    Well hopefully nobody involved on that reads places like this!

    How ironic that the meh emoji can't make a meh face, because that's the face the general public is making about this movie.
    Yes it's basically Inside Out meets Wreck-It Ralph, and the girl emoji is basically Wildstyle from the Lego Movie.


    I think the Stepford Wife Emoji is the villain.

    Fidget spinners. Rampant tattoos. Emoji movie. Tumblr. Safe spaces. Adult coloring books. "I'm done adulting." Dubstep.

    You know how the 1970s are sometimes looked down on, what with the disco music and orange carpets? They could be a renaissance compared to the 2010s.

    Comparing the 2010s to disco is an insult to disco.

    The emojis designs shown on the movie are more recent than we really think it is, also considering the movie uses mobile apps, like candy crush, it is already expected to age extremely bad.

    It also hurts deeply that the candy crush section scenery resembles the candy land on Wreck-It-Ralph.

    I feel like it's going to be along the same lines of the Ghostbusters reboot.

    People will make it out to be worse/better then initial reports, but it's going to just be a "meh, whatever, it's a movie, and it happened" kind of thing...

    At least Disco used actual instruments!

    Also proof WIR will certainly be remembered for a long time.

    Emoji Movie reviews are appearing across the interwebs.

    Guess what. You were right. Yes, yes you.

    Its rather telling that theaters are releasing this thing a day early because Sonny doesn't care enough to stop them and people are so fascinated with its horrible premise that i will bring customers.

    Box office predictions are putting the movie as opening in around the 20-22 million dollar range.

    It seems like most of the people who are going to see it are either:
    a) Parents bringing their children, as an animated movie is an animated movie
    b) People who are curious to see if the movie is as bad as reviews are making it out to be
