Another year is about to end, and as we all praise the movies that we loved (and made billions), it's also a time to look back on the ones that didn't turn out so great.
The list of 2017's worst-reviewed movies has a little bit of everything in it: the colossal box office duds, the movies that became nothing more than a joke on social media, and the one that cost its director a "Star Wars" movie.
Here are the 25 worst-reviewed movies of 2017, as rated by critics' scores on Metacritic:
25. “The Book of Henry”
Focus Features
Metacritic score: 31/100
What a critic said: “‘The Book of Henry’ is the most misguided film since the 2003 Gary Oldman abomination ‘Tiptoes.’ [Director Colin] Trevorrow is slated to helm an upcoming ‘Star Wars’ film, so y’all have fun with that.” — The Austin Chronicle (Editor’s Note: Three months after the release of this movie, Lucasfilm announced it had “mutually chosen to part ways” with Trevorrow on “Star Wars: Episode IX.”)
24. “Absolutely Anything”
Lionsgate
Metacritic score: 31/100
What a critic said: “[A] depressingly inept comedy.” — Screen Daily
23. “Friend Request”
Warner Bros.
Metacritic score: 31/100
What a critic said: “An utterly idiotic movie that uses social media as a conduit for witchcraft and mayhem.” — The Wrap
