From its official announcement, The
Emoji Movie became the target of ridicule on the internet. This sentiment
intensified throughout the marketing campaign until its 2017 release, when
viewers and critics ripped it to shreds. Despite having a morbid curiosity
about the film, we didn’t watch it at the time because we refused to pay money
to see it. This changed when it finally aired for free on FX, but we still didn’t
watch it until we found the right opportunity a few months later. Actually
watching it did nothing to sway us from the general consensus of the film, as
we felt absolutely nothing while watching it.
