Inconsistent examples

"It received predominantly negative reviews from critics, many of whom compared it unfavorably to The Lego Movie, Inside Out, or Wreck-It Ralph."

While it is true that it has received negative reviews, especially visible on IMDb and stuff like that, the examples it mentions are all good. The Lego Movie, Inside Out, and Wreck-It Ralph all received good reviews according to their individual Wikipedia articles. If, by "compared it unfavorably" they mean, this movie sucked and wasn't as good as these movies, which were good, it needs to be rephrased to better reflect that intention. If that's not the case, the examples should be removed. AWwikipedia "Eat more nachos!" (talk) 10:59, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

We've already got a source that Sony is releasing it. That source says Sony/Columbia. Why do you want to remove Sony? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:53, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Because the trailer shows the Columbia logo, and Columbia is the main film division of Sony. (Alternative ref link to use: http://deadline.com/2017/05/t-j-miller-emoji-movie-cannes-film-festival-stunt-trailer-video-1202094573/) 104.157.250.86 (talk)

Variety Insight's data is vetted by the studios themselves, and it's run by a trade magazine. Clearly, removing Sony is the wrong option, especially when it's mentioned in every source. Also, the Deadline source above doesn't explicitly say anything about Columbia being the distributor, whereas Variety Insight does. As far as trailers, we can't interpret primary sources, so if someone's logo appears on a poster or in a trailer, it doesn't necessarily mean anything as far as Wikipedia is concerned. I suppose we could change it to Sony/Columbia per the Box Office source, but I'd personally prefer to stick with what Variety says. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

What about these sources? 1.9.129.48 (talk) 05:54, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Animation Magazine is reliable, but it doesn't say Columbia is distributing the film. ComingSoon.net says it's distributed by Columbia. I kind of doubt Cartoon Brew is a reliable source, but I could be wrong. I got curious and checked Box Office Mojo, and that also says Columbia: link.

No mention of negative publicity

The various trailers on YouTube have had significant backlash against the movie in general and the concept in particular.

I swear a couple months ago I saw this mentioned on the page. Was I mistaken? Are significant pre-release criticisms not relevant?

The trailer for the 2016 film Ghostbusters had an overwhelming backlash and it is mentioned in the § Controversy section alongside other controversies surrounding the film. Backlash against the concept of the Ghostbusters film was directed at specific notable issues but I don't see that here. Likes and dislikes of a trailer on YouTube aren't a good statistic of criticism of the film just like IMDb ratings aren't very useful. Wumbolo (talk) 08:01, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

IMDb has given The Emoji Movie a score 1.4 out of 10, yet another negative score by critics. Here's the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4877122/?ref_=nv_sr_1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awesomebroboy1 (talk • contribs) 01:21, July 30, 2017 (UTC)

Much as with the "audience score" at Rotten Tomatoes (see below), Wikipedia does not use IMDb users' ratings. - SummerPhD^v2.0 23:22, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Rotten Tomatoes score

This needs to be updated more frequently. It's currently 40 (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_emoji_movie). I'd do it, but the page is protected. 174.23.14.253 (talk) 21:07, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

The RT score that we use, the critics' score, is still at 8%. We do not use the "audience score" from RT or similar site users' scores in any context. Movie critics are movie critics, thus the horrible score at RT is similar to the horrible score at Metacritic. Site user scores will vary a lot based on who uses the site, efforts to slant the score (from Reddit, 4chan, etc.), vote stuffing, etc. - SummerPhD^v2.0 23:19, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Right, I didn't mean the audience. Currently, 49 critics have reviewed it, which isn't tracked on the page. Snorepion (talk) 15:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

On the removal of explicit description of reception

I noticed on here before that the reception section (as well as places in the article's introduction) explicitly say the film was "panned". While this specifically doesn't necessarily have to be, a description of how the film was received would be pretty useful. Something that explicitly says that the film was widely negatively received would be useful, and if nothing else it's not worth having been removed from the page. Jpmcruiser (talk) 15:32, 3 August 2017 (UTC

The article says "Critics called The Emoji Movie 'unfunny and a waste of time,' comparing it unfavorably to The Lego Movie, Inside Out and Wreck-It Ralph, with some calling it one of the worst animated films of all-time." It's sourced. The article goes on to give RT and Metacritic scores and descriptions, also sourced. Combining all of that into "panned" is synthesis.

If, in your opinion, "panned" does not say anything other than what the sources are already quoted as saying, it would be redundant. If, OTOH, you feel it does add something other than what the sources say, where did you get that "something"? - SummerPhD^v2.0 16:03, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Thoughts on critic quote(s) in the intro?

I've changed the intro twice to remove the "unfunny and a waste of time" quotes since including them there seems pretty biased, but I don't want to get into an edit war, so I thought I'd post this section here for discussion. Any thoughts? It just seems to me like quotes that take that obvious of a position should be left to the reception section in order to avoid making it look that they represent any particular stance that Wikipedia itself might have, but I could be wrong. Alphius (talk) 23:50, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

The quote is not one critic's opinion selected to present a point-of-view. Instead, it is a reliable source summarizing what critics in general thought of the film. It is not biased to present a reliably sourced summary of critics' opinions. Based on the individual reviews I have read, those we quote and the scores on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, it seems about right. - SummerPhD^v2.0 01:34, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

To be fair, I'm not saying I don't think the quote should be used at all - I was just surprised to see it used in the intro section. It doesn't seem all that common to do that, and the examples I have found (Movie 43 being one) tend to cite a specific critic rather than just using a quote meant to summarize the reviews. But I still won't mess with it anymore if it gets changed back again. Alphius (talk) 02:33, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

I don't recommend using critics quotes...but "It received predominantly negative reviews from critics..." should really be changed to "It received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics...". And everyone else, it would seem: It's currently #16 on IMDB's "Bottom 100". — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoAnneThrax (talk • contribs) 19:29, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

"Overwhelmingly negative reviews"/"predominantly negative reviews" is not reliably sourced, it is WP:SYN (the terminology used by Metacritic is applied automatically, we can use it as a direct quote of Metacritic's term, but not apply it as a fact). Here's an easy test: can anyone argue that one is correct and the other not, while someone else argues the opposite? Clearly, yes, as you are doing that right now. When editors disagree about how to restate what a source says, the solution is often a direct quote: "unfunny and a waste of time". Q.E.D.

IMDb's bottom 100 is the result of IMDb users' scores. We pointedly do not use cite users' scores.

The quote, "unfunny and a waste of time", is not our synthesis, it is a reliably sourced summary, written by a human being, subject to editorial oversight, directly quoted. The only reasonable way I can see to challenge that would be to argue that the quote isn't in the source (it is) or the source isn't reliable (Entertainment Weekly is clearly reliable for this information). - SummerPhD^v2.0 02:03, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

I just checked the actual source again, and technically the quote from Entertainment Weekly is "Critics are using actual words to review The Emoji Movie: 'unfunny,' 'waste of time,' and 'crappy.'" I'm not sure if it changes anything or not, but "unfunny and a waste of time" isn't actually a direct quote - it's two separate bits of reviews that EW was itself quoting. Just thought I'd mention that in case it makes any sort of difference with regards to deciding what to do. Alphius (talk) 04:30, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Sentence Revision

Could you please modify the last sentence in the opening paragraph? It just needs to say that the movie has been panned by critics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Znelson2 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Is the phrase "piracy app" used in the movie? I find it a strange choice of words, as most apps used for file sharing are neither expressly intended for, nor limited to, illegal usage. Just because an app is used for file sharing doesn't make it a "piracy" app... Is this a reference to Popcorn Time? That's the only app which springs to my mind as having been clearly designed with the intention for users to violate copyright. By way of contrast, Dropbox & µTorrent are both file sharing apps but are not "piracy apps" per se. The phrasing "piracy app" is extremely prejudicial; I'm just wondering if that phrasing is used in the movie, in which case I think that's worth specifying with a quotation, or if that phrasing was chosen by an editor of this article, in which case both this article & that editor's viewpoint may benefit from revision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.34.111.76 (talk) 07:28, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Critical response

Critics panned The Emoji Movie, calling it "unfunny and a waste of time". Both "panned" and "unfunny and a waste of time" are from the sources.

"Universally" or "unanimously" panned would mean that every critic everywhere panned the film. While you might say to your friends, "Like, ohm'god, literally everyone totally hated this film", the 9% from Rotten Tomatoes shows that that is literally not true.

Yeah, the sourced say lots of critics hated the film or thought it was "meh". We have no reason to exaggerate, what the sources say is clear enough without any of us adding out two cents. - SummerPhD^v2.0 04:25, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

The general public and social media consider the film one of the worst films of the decade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.180.75 (talk) 21:48, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

So? This movie didn't offend anybody in a notable, event-sized way, did it? And let a little more time pass before we decide to evaluate this movie with the retrospect that a title like "one of the worst films of the decade" needs.

Some editor added that there will be a sequel to The Emoji Movie which is nonsense 2600:1009:B001:3109:BCEC:273B:78B:AFD4 (talk) 18:53, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: I can't see where the article sates that a sequel may be released. L293D (☎ • ✎) 21:17, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Typo/Grammar errors

As the page is protected I can't fix a couple of small errors. In the third paragraph of the plot section a sentence reads: "They evade it by entangling it's arms...". The word should be "its", not "it's".

Also, in the Voice cast section Conrad Vernon is listed as "an Trojan Horse". This should be "a", not "an". Aerach (talk) 22:47, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

The emoji movie was fantastic and beyond that had a thrilling appearance when the main character is getting ready to be EXECUTED! 2600:8802:270D:B400:6D33:3F58:BFA4:6071 (talk) 23:15, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

It says it made 900 million dollars. That's obviously wrong.

I hate villain The Wild & The Emoji Movie

Unclear sentence

The lead contains the sentence:

The Emoji Movie was the fastest production time for two years, unlike most other animated films.

This is really unclear and doesn't make sense, may I suggest replacing it with

The Emoji Movie had a production time of two years, shorter than most other animated films.

Which I think better summarises the content of The Emoji Movie#Development. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 14:53, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

The page says the film is considered one of the worst, and the page provides a link to the page for List of films considered the worst, even though it’s not on the list anymore. This might come off as misleading, so could somebody please remove the link? 2600:8800:6CA1:D800:C424:614B:86EC:E25D (talk) 22:17, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Edit request

Hey - out of curiosity, should Patrick Stewart's credit in the cast section and infobox include his title? He's marketed in the film as 'Sir Patrick Stewart', however the usual practice is to omit titles in cast sections in Wiki articles. For comparison, Ben Kingsley is credited as 'Sir' in the film Lucky Number Slevin, but he's credited without in the Wiki article for the film. Jye147 (talk) 06:08, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
