The worst movies of 2024 have been named

In 2024, a lot of interesting movie releases came out, including both real masterpieces and films that did not impress audiences and critics at all. Among the reasons for failure are weak scripts, illogical plot twists, poor special effects, stereotypical characters, or lack of marketing, because even the best movie can fail at the box office if no one knows about it.

Even a star-studded cast does not guarantee a movie's success. Metacritic, one of the most popular movie review sites, has compiled a ranking of the failed films of 2024.
