5 years ago today, the emoji movie was released. I actually followed John's channel and saw that video the day it came out, which was fun. It went on for a long time, like 3 months before the actual movie was released. He actually grifted quite a bit of money too by selling merch for a movie that no one cared about.
There was also the IHE video which had high production value for a YouTube video. He recorded himself IRL up until the movie started, and cared enough to see the movie in the theater. Also, he actually predicted that there was going to be an emoji movie!
Cool.
Look at the trailer's amazing like/dislike ratio!

I liked the movie - VERY funny - unlike that cr*p SLEEPY Joe Biden produces in the WH!
What was a bit weird though was opening the movie to 20 minutes of recreated ISIS executions. Before even the title cards! I guess they were going for some social commentary, but a 👶🏾-emoji cutting off the head of the "male pregnancy" one was a bit awkward. I didnt even know emojis had that much blood! And im not sure the children in my theater understood the satirical element either, there was quite a lot of crying. Well, not as much as during the movie itself, but still.
Overall 6/10
