These lists of my favorites, the “best”, my most disappointing, the “worst” are all subjective, and they are only from the movies I have seen. I had watched over 250 movies during the year 2022, but not all from this calendar year. It is a delicate thing to blend wanting to catch up on old classics and wanting to stay current.
Below are my five LEAST FAVORITE movies released in the calendar year of 2022.

Ranking The Mission: Impossible Films: #7 – Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023)
There is a lot happening in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning. One could argue that there is too much going on.
Ranking The Mission: Impossible Films: #8 – Mission: Impossible II (2000)
