It’s time for the monthly inventory again. This time I bring you the 10 most popular movies on the Netflix platform in August 2022. In this list, what is more interesting is that all 10 movies were produced by Netflix themselves, which was rare in the past. The highest ranking non-Netflix is the 12th-ranked "New Mummy". The film is starring Tomco and is released in 2017. I believe many friends have watched it and will not say it anymore. Among these 10 movies, 7 are new movies that were aired in August. Not to mention the quality of the homemade movies of .com , at least the quantity is still acceptable. Love movies alone account for half of them, and the first one is also the youth romance film "Purple Heart Love". It seems that August is really a suitable month for dating. OK, I won’t say anything. Please see the list below for details.
Note: This data comes from the well-known streaming media analysis website Flixpatrol.
No. 10: "Royalteen" (Royalteen)
Score: 3253
Type: Drama, Love
Movie introduction: "Royal Love" is a Norwegian love movie. I don't know if it is the overall level of Norwegian movies or the level of screenwriters of this film is too delicious. After the film is broadcast, it can be said that it has received a lot of bad reviews. The plot of the film is also very simple. It tells the story of an ordinary girl who accidentally fell in love with the Norwegian crown prince, but the girl has an unbearable past, which makes the love path between the two sides full of ups and downs. It's such a simple story, but it was filmed terrible. The Rotten Tomato Index has no ratings, the popcorn index is only a pitiful 38%, and the Douban score is also a tragic 5.3. I don't know how it made it to the list. If you say that the plot is not enough, it is okay for the actors to come and make up, but the appearance of several leading actors in the film is hard to convince the public, especially the male protagonist, I don’t know what to say. Anyway, the author does not recommend this film.
No. 9: "Me Time" (Me Time)
Score: 3412
Type: Comedy
Video introduction: Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg . These two guys have worked with Netflix in recent years. This time Netflix arranged them into the same movie at the same time. The plot of "Only My Only" is simple, which tells the story of Kevin Hart's wife and children traveling together, and then he spent a crazy weekend with his good friend Wahlberg. This film can be said to have no plot at all, just putting naked funny jokes together, and it is very vulgar and boring. I personally think that the film has traces of seriously imitating the Warner comedy movie " Hangover ", but it only imitates the fur. There is no plot in this film, but the two big stars are really noisy enough, so it’s not a badass for viewers who like comedy movies to watch it.
No. 8: "The Sea Beast"
Score: 4289
Type: Animation
Video introduction: Netfei is good at shooting animations, but it is not good at shooting movies. So how about shooting animations? "Sea Beast Hunter" is the answer. The film can be said to continue Netflix's usual excellent animation, but it is not that good, it is too medium-sized, and it is considered a movie with strong entertainment but poor storyline. There are a lot of preparations for pursuing sea beasts in the front of the film, which makes the subsequent ending a little hasty, and the ending is too complete. The sea beast, which was originally wild, has become a more humane character, which is a bit cliché. Of course, as an animated film, this film is fun enough, which is enough. In addition, it is also dubbed by stars such as Carl Urban , Jared Harris , Mariana Joan-Baptiste , Dan Stevens , etc. It is considered an entertaining movie and is more suitable for parents and children to watch together.
No. 7: "Wedding Season" (Wedding Season)
Score: 6043
Type: Comedy, Love
Video introduction: "Wedding Season" You can see this name, this is another love comedy film.The film tells the story of the heroine who had to find a single male protagonist who had been single for 30 years in order to cope with her parents' urge to get married. The two pretended to be in love, but they didn't expect that the fake would come true in the end, and both of them fell in love with each other. It's really boring to watch this plot, and you can even guess the end after watching it. After all, such clichéd plots are already in a mess. As early as 2009, Disney filmed a movie "Fake Marriage". The male and female protagonists in the film were Sandra Brock and Ryan Reynolds . The plot of this movie was very cliché at that time, but the comedy effect was very good. "Wedding Season" can be regarded as a low-end version of "Fake Marriage". There are no celebrities joining or good-looking plots. It is an ordinary mediocre work. Of course, as a romantic comedy, it doesn’t matter if you have a pastime.
No. 6: "Carter" (Carter)
Score: 6512
Type: Action
Video introduction: "Carter" is a Korean action movie. When I first watched the trailer, I felt that the special effects were very strong, and I even boasted that there was a very long shot with very powerful special effects, but after watching the whole movie, I found that it was purely a bad movie. The plot is illogical. It was originally a good agent movie before, but the film turned into a zombie movie, and the plot became an Asian version of "Resident Evil". You should know that Netflix has filmed two "Resident Evil" series, one is an animation drama and the other is a live-action drama, all of which are bad. This "Help Carter" is also not very good, with a Douban score of 5.4, which I don't recommend.
No. 5: "The Next 365 Days" (The Next 365 Days)
Score: 7740
Type: Drama
Movie introduction: "The Next 365 Days" is an Polish romance film that tells the love story of a gangster boss. This is already the third part of the series, and I was very puzzled. How did this series get the third part so bad? The first part was aired in 2020, with Douban scores only 5.8. The second part not only did not improve, but was even worse. It was aired on April 27, 2022, with Douban scores only 4.4. What's even more outrageous is that the third part was aired just 4 months later. Netflix's filming speed is comparable to going out to buy groceries, and he can make a movie in a minute. Of course, the quality of this movie can be imagined. The Douban score is only 4.1, which is worse than the second part. Such a bad movie can rank 5th on the list, and I am speechless.
No. 4: "Look Both Ways" (Look Both Ways)
Score: 8564
Type: Love, Comedy
Video introduction: This is another love comedy (Why should I add "Yes"?), the film tells the story of the heroine about to graduate, and she interprets the results of two kinds of life, one is to return to her hometown to become a young mother, live a simple life; the other is to go to the big city of Los Angeles, bravely pursue her career, and reach the peak of her life. The movie "Hunzuo" is a graduation guide for young people. There is no highlight in the plot, it tells the story of every detail of life, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and all kinds of emotions. After watching it, I didn't find which of these two results is better. Life is just about living a life, wealth and other things are secondary. Living a happy life is the king. Although the plot is a bit plain, the film has some educational significance and the ending is a little touching. The heroine's appearance is not low. Young audiences can watch it and prepare for their future.
No. 3: "Day Shift" (Day Shift)
Score: 11352
Type: Action, Science Fiction
Video introduction: To be honest, in the hot summer, "Day Shift" still makes me feel a little cool. The plot of the film is quite simple, it is the male protagonist played by Jamie Fox . He is usually a cleaner, but behind his back is a vampire hunter. Then he and a group of friends successfully defeat the vampire villain. From the plot, the film is not much different from other vampire movies. It just has a good fight. At the beginning of the film, a big battle was staged, and action star Scott Atkins was also invited, which was nothing in the action scene.Of course, there are also some plot flaws, such as the villain always talks a lot, which is an old routine in action movies, and the vampires just don’t bite the male protagonist, and the protagonist’s halo is too strong. In addition to excellent special effects, the film also invited many stars, such as Dave Franco , Snoop Dog , Liu Chengyu , and Scott Akins. As a great action film, it is still very qualified.
No. 2: "The Gray Man" (The Gray Man)
Score: 11812
Type: Action
Video introduction: "The Gray Man" boasted so much before it was released, such as investing 200 million US dollars, various celebrities, and what is comparable to the plot of the movie "007". After it was released, it was found that it was just that. Douban score is 6.6, and Rotten Tomatoes index is 46%. This doesn’t seem to be comparable to the level of "007". The film invested up to US$200 million, and is the biggest movie Netflix invested this year. The stars alone have hired a lot, such as Ryan Gosling , Chris Evans , Anna de Armas , Jessica Henwick , and the director is also the famous Russell Brothers , which is the director of " Avengers 4". So many big names have joined but failed to produce excellent plots. The whole movie is just for the sake of fighting. There is no logic at all. It seems like an agent movie, but in fact it is a group of people fighting blindly. However, the action scenes are really grand enough, and all kinds of stunts are overwhelmed. From this point of view, it is a bit like "007". It is worth mentioning that " Captain America " Chris Evans plays the big villain in the film and also has a mustache. Speaking of "big super" Henry Cavill also operates the same in "Mission: Impossible 6". Not only does it play the big villain, but it also has a mustache. It seems that agent movies are all a routine. As an action movie, "Grey Shadow Man" has a very average plot, but the special effects are pretty good, so let's take a look.
No. 1: "Purple Hearts" (Purple Hearts)
Score: 17054
Type: Love, Music
Video introduction: "Purple Hearts" tells the story of a female singer and a soldier who intend to get married because of their respective interests. Later, it was discovered that the fake drama was made real. This film is another movie with the theme of "fake marriage", Netflix and even Hollywood are very passionate about this theme. However, the plot of this film has no highlights, it reflects many problems in society. The male and female protagonists are quite good-looking, a standard combination of beautiful and handsome men. Such an ordinary movie can rank first on the list, which really makes me wonder. I really don’t know where it is better than "Gray Shadow Man".
