Anything but obvious cash grabs and uninspired spinoffs like the emoji movie.

Even stuff like The Room are WAY better even from a creative process standpoint. That thing is an adventure. The emoji movie is just a soulless product.

So don't watch the new Godzilla or Meg movies?

As someone who did watch the Meg because someone else wanted to watch it, I'd say please don't. You lose a lot more by going to watch it than you do by not watching it.

Were they cash grabs or safe bets? There is definitely a gray zone for "safe bets" where the creatives actually do a decent job. Lazy trash from execs, but if the creatives manage to deliver it can still achieve "not a waste of time".
