When we see a person with dark undereye circles, our initial thought will probably be, “Oh, she’s lacking sleep!” But medical experts have found that there are more than a handful of factors that contribute to those dark circles, other than fatigue.
Today at Bright Side we are tackling the reasons why you might have dark circles, plus we’re sharing some tips on how you can fight them off to keep your face looking refreshed.
Why we get undereye circles
The reason behind dark circles under the eyes is different depending on the person, but one cause that we all share is that the shadows under your eyes are caused by the lack of free-flowing oxygen in the blood vessels, which causes hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is produced by an amino acid called melanin. What are commonly known as eyebags, can be attributed to the unconscious act of rubbing one’s eyes, excessive exposure to the sun, or inadequate sleep; while other factors include genetics and aging. Even so, dark circles can also be caused by medical conditions such as allergies, eczema, dermatitis, and anemia.
How we can fight them
Melanin is a natural brown or black pigment in our bodies that is responsible for bringing color to our skin, hair, eyes, and some other parts of our bodies. Here are some tips on how you can prevent too much melanin from getting under your eyes and giving you those gloomy eye bags.
1. Practice proper bed posture.
Sleeping in an upright position can prevent puffiness. While you’re getting your zzzz’s, fluid can collect under your eyes, especially when you are laying in a more flat position. Keeping your head slightly propped up can help prevent that fluid build-up, leaving your morning face looking well-rested.
2. Avoid direct sunlight.
Ask any dermatologist and they will tell you to keep your face out of direct sunlight. Not only does sunlight compel our skin to age faster, but harmful UV rays can also cause damage to the skin. This skin aging leads to the formation of swelling and dark undereye circles. So if you plan to be in the sun, put on some sunscreen and wear a pair of shades and a hat!
3. Try out natural ingredients.
Common ingredients that you can find in your own home, like cucumbers and used tea bags, can be beneficial in fighting your eye bags. Cucumbers have great cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce undereye swelling, while the caffeine and tannins in tea bags also help to reduce inflammation and tighten the skin. For the best results, apply the cucumber or tea bags for 5 minutes as a cold compress on your dark circles, then rinse your face afterward.
4. Prep an ice-cold facial.
In the same way that cold cucumbers and tea bags can reduce eye bag inflammation, using an ice cube or a cold compress (or icepack) can also bring down the puffiness that dark circles leave on the face. Applying ice also speeds up skin healing and gives your skin a renewed and healthy glow.
5. Get enough sleep.
When our bodies lack sleep, our skin tends to look paler, which makes the darkness under our eyes more noticeable. Because the skin under our eyes is quite thin, it can become dark easily from fatigue, due to the constant dilation of blood vessels. For adults, it is important to get at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep daily in order to keep our faces fresh and youthful.
6. Apply moisturizers and healing oils.
Hydrating your face with beneficial oils and moisturizers keeps the lines and wrinkles at bay. Choose face products that are high in antioxidants, which can have a positive impact on those dark circles. The massaging movement that you use when you apply something on your face also help the blood circulate better, so you avoid any build-up or constriction in your blood vessels. Some popular choices for daily moisturizers are Vitamin E or C cream, almond oil, and coconut oil.

Raise your hand if you’re satisfied with yourself when looking in the mirror. If you didn’t raise your hand, don’t worry. In fact, over one-third of people usually feel down or low about themselves. The good news is that we have the power to choose some aspects of our lives that will bring us more happiness, health, and self-love. It doesn’t matter if we have to start exercising, leave an abusive relationship, or quit bad habits.
Bright Side found a group of people who already started their journey, and maybe we can inspire you to start yours.

brightside--2020-11-13--10 Household Mistakes That Stand in the Way of a Cozy Home

According to a study , the dirtiest place in our apartments is the kitchen and the worst part is the “ harmless ” dish sponge .
While taking care of our cozy homes , we often do things intuitively , like cleaning the windows on a sunny day or placing the toilet paper roll so that the paper comes from “ under.
” And some decisions result in a wasted effort or , worse , in some serious hygienic mistakes .
Today ’ s variety of doorknobs is really impressive , so much so that everyone can choose an item @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it comes to the materials the doorknobs are made of , it ’ s really important to choose the one that will be the most hygienic .
Those that are made of brass are considered to be the safest because this material is well-known for its self-disinfecting capacity .
It literally kills bacteria and viruses .
On the contrary , stainless steel and plastic are considered to be the best home for bacteria .
Washing your windows on a sunny day may not be a very good idea .
It ’ s better @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gloomy and cloudy day .
Just like washing your car , this job will likely turn into a mess because the heat from the sun will make the windows dry quickly and cause smears , so all of your hard work will go down the drain .
People have been debating the issue of the correct toilet paper placement for so long that the discussion of “ over or under ” has grown into a legend .
Surveys show that the number of fans of the “ over ” position is higher than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and even the inventor of the toilet paper roll has always suggested placing it so that the paper goes over the roll rather than under it .
The reasoning behind this is that when you ’ re in the bathroom and the toilet paper is over , you touch and affect less of the surrounding area with the hand you use to wipe your backside .
Also , the paper itself doesn ’ t come into contact with the walls , which are a breeding ground for toilet bacteria .

Taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s customary in many cultures to take your shoes off before entering a home .

Moving the vacuum brush in one direction The main mistakes that we make while vacuuming are either moving the vacuum cleaner in only one direction or quickly moving it back and forth .

Cleaning professionals suggest that we vacuum in both directions , but in rows : first , you go forward with the brush and arrive to the end of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the carpet and then you move back in the same row , collecting the remaining dust and laying the carpet back down .

Placing your doormat in the wrong position Our doormats serve as an additional barrier for dirt before it gets inside of our home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ significant amount of dirt passes to it from your shoes .

Artificial light will not provide you with a clear picture of the dirty surfaces and you may need to do the dusting again after you see the results the next morning .

Cleaning the window frames after the panes While cleaning the windows , it ’ s good to remember that the window panes , as well as the sills , contain the most dirt .
The first step is not cleaning the window pane , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the window frames and sills with the help of a vacuum cleaner and then washing the pane with a cleaning solution .

According to a study, the dirtiest place in our apartments is the kitchen and the worst part is the “harmless” dish sponge. While taking care of our cozy homes, we often do things intuitively, like cleaning the windows on a sunny day or placing the toilet paper roll so that the paper comes from “under.” And some decisions result in a wasted effort or, worse, in some serious hygienic mistakes.
Here at Bright Side, we found out that we’ve been doing many things around the house in the wrong way. We’ve decided to shine a spotlight on our mistakes. Here are some wise pieces of advice we’ve discovered and would love to share with you too.
1. Using plastic door handles
Today’s variety of doorknobs is really impressive, so much so that everyone can choose an item according to their taste. But when it comes to the materials the doorknobs are made of, it’s really important to choose the one that will be the most hygienic.
Those that are made of brass are considered to be the safest because this material is well-known for its self-disinfecting capacity. It literally kills bacteria and viruses. On the contrary, stainless steel and plastic are considered to be the best home for bacteria.
2. Washing windows on a sunny day
Washing your windows on a sunny day may not be a very good idea. It’s better to put this task off until a gloomy and cloudy day. Just like washing your car, this job will likely turn into a mess because the heat from the sun will make the windows dry quickly and cause smears, so all of your hard work will go down the drain.
3. Placing toilet paper roll “under” instead of “over”
People have been debating the issue of the correct toilet paper placement for so long that the discussion of “over or under” has grown into a legend. Surveys show that the number of fans of the “over” position is higher than those of the “under,” and even the inventor of the toilet paper roll has always suggested placing it so that the paper goes over the roll rather than under it.
The reasoning behind this is that when you’re in the bathroom and the toilet paper is over, you touch and affect less of the surrounding area with the hand you use to wipe your backside. Also, the paper itself doesn’t come into contact with the walls, which are a breeding ground for toilet bacteria.
4. Taking your shoes off inside your home
It’s customary in many cultures to take your shoes off before entering a home. In Japan, people even have separate slippers for the toilet which they remove after using the loo. The hygienic background of the tradition to remove your outdoor shoes before you enter your home is simple: you don’t track the dirt and mud onto the floors and rugs inside your home. Also, the soles of your shoes are the perfect home for infectious bacteria and by taking your shoes off before you enter your home, you actually prevent yourself and members of your family from catching various diseases.
5. Dusting after you vacuum
For some of us, dusting after vacuuming seems like a logical final touch on the way to a sparkling house. However, it’s better to dust the room before vacuuming so you can later vacuum up the particles that float and fall on the floor. Moreover, the dusting itself should be done properly: starting from the higher surfaces and moving down to the lower ones. By doing it this way, you’ll remove the major part of the dust first and then will be able to touch it up with a vacuum cleaner.
6. Moving the vacuum brush in one direction
The main mistakes that we make while vacuuming are either moving the vacuum cleaner in only one direction or quickly moving it back and forth. None of these movements will help us achieve the best cleaning results.
Cleaning professionals suggest that we vacuum in both directions, but in rows: first, you go forward with the brush and arrive to the end of the row with it. You fluff up the carpet and then you move back in the same row, collecting the remaining dust and laying the carpet back down. Using this technique, you can easily and efficiently vacuum the whole room.
7. Leaving your curtains open on a sunny day
Allowing some sunlight into your home may feel very pleasant and uplifting. However, it has one major drawback: the UV rays and visible light make your carpeting, furniture, and art fade and lose its vibrancy and color. The easiest way to protect your valuable sofas and armchairs is to place them in the shaded areas of your house.
If you don’t want to rearrange your furniture, you can still keep it safe by keeping blinds or curtains on your windows and pulling them closed when it’s sunny outside. This way your furniture is kept in this artificial shade. Window films also work great, as the qualitative ones reflect up to 99.9% of UV light.
8. Placing your doormat in the wrong position
Our doormats serve as an additional barrier for dirt before it gets inside of our home. While passing the doormat, a significant amount of dirt passes to it from your shoes. If you place a rectangular doormat lengthwise, not width-wise, you will have to take more steps on it to reach the entrance, and more dirt will remain on the doormat.
9. Removing dust under artificial lightning
Dust particles are easier seen in natural light, and you’ve probably noticed this while looking at the beam of light with dust particles “dancing” in it. This is why, while removing the dust in your apartment, it’s better to do it when the sun is up so that you can clearly see the dirty areas and clean them precisely. Artificial light will not provide you with a clear picture of the dirty surfaces and you may need to do the dusting again after you see the results the next morning.
10. Cleaning the window frames after the panes
While cleaning the windows, it’s good to remember that the window panes, as well as the sills, contain the most dirt. The first step is not cleaning the window pane, but removing all the dust and dirt from the window frames and sills with the help of a vacuum cleaner and then washing the pane with a cleaning solution.
It’s only once the frames are clean, that the panes should be washed. If you do it vice versa, the dirt from the frame will get on the freshly cleaned pane and you’ll have to clean and polish it again and again.

Bright Side has searched the internet looking for facts that will show the lives of our favorite actors from a totally new angle. And some of these facts are really shocking.
Tom Cruise divorces his wives when they turn 33.
It is not exactly clear if this is just a coincidence or if it’s the influence of Scientology on the relationships of this famous actor (in Scientology, 33 is a special number) but Tom Cruise’s marriages always ended when his wives were 33 years old. And his wife is always 11 years younger than the previous one. His first wife, Mimi Rogers, introduced Tom Cruise to Scientology (she was born in 1956). Their marriage fell apart 2 years later.
He was with the beautiful Nicole Kidman (born in 1967) for around 10 years. The actors repeated their marriage vows and then broke up around 2 months later.
With his third wife, Katie Holmes (born in 1978), he broke up after 6 years of marriage. The actress wanted to divorce Tom to prevent him from introducing their daughter Suri to his religion.
Rowan Atkinson is not only brave in his movies.
Rowan Atkinson has been in difficult and dangerous situations and we’re not just talking about in movies (but he was just as brave and Mr. Bean). Once, he had to fly a plane when he was flying with his wife and kids and the pilot lost consciousness. Atkinson and his wife tried to wake the pilot up, they splashed him with water and slapped him on the cheeks, but nothing helped. The actor had no experience with flying a plane, but when he took the wheel, he started to fly it. The plane went very high when his wife yelled that Rowan was pulling too much. They thought they were going to crash when the pilot woke up. He didn’t even understand that he had lost consciousness and he ended up landing the plane safely.
The fearless Jackie Chan is scared of injections.
This actor does absolutely amazing stunts, like jumping from a 70-meter-high helicopter. It seems that there is nothing in the world that he’s scared of. But it turns out that he hates injections and he even loses consciousness when he sees a syringe. He says that if he breaks a finger on set, he’ll just adjust it right back and continue working, and that’s actually what happened on the set of Rumble in the Bronx. In the morning, he broke an ankle, and after lunch, he continued working.
Anthony Hopkins looked for a book for a film everywhere and the book found him by itself.
Before starring in The Girl from Petrovka, Anthony Hopkins really wanted to read the novel the script was based on. He went around to all the London bookstores, but he was unable to find the book. On his way back home, he saw the book he was looking for just lying in the subway station. After a while, the actor met the author of the novel and told him this story. And the author said that he had lost his last copy of the book about a year ago. Hopkins showed him the book he found and it turned out to be exactly that book.
Keanu Reeves was David Bowie’s opening act as a bass player.
If the actor didn’t really choose to pursue acting, he could have been a professional bass player by now. Together with Robert Mailhouse, a fellow actor, they created a rock band in 1991 that was called Dogstar. They weren’t very successful, but in 1995 they were the opening act for a David Bowie concert.
Vin Diesel became an actor thanks to his hooliganism.
At the age of 7, Vin Diesel, his brother, and a group of their friends broke into a theater in New York. The manager of the theater could have called the police, but instead, he was kind and he offered the boys roles in a play. This is how the young Vin Diesel appeared in the children’s play Dinosaur Door and became a famous actor.
Elvis Presley had a strange influence on Kurt Russell’s life.
Kurt Russell debuted on the big screen in It Happened at the World’s Fair with Elvis Presley in the main role. 6 years later, Elvis appeared in his last film Change of Habit where he portrayed Dr. John Carpenter and this role became the best in his career. And 10 years later, Kurt Russell was invited to play the main role in Elvis (1979) and the director was John Carpenter.
Charlize Theron’s emotions helped her start her movie career.
Charlize Theron moved to Los Angeles and her mother paid for her ticket. But Charlize had no money for a return ticket and, for a long time, she was really hungry and lived in a cheap motel because she couldn’t find an agent. When she ran out of money, she went to the bank to cash one of the checks her mom sent to her. But the teller refused to cash it. Charlize went crazy, she caused a scene, she was crying, and she had no idea that someone was watching her. When she stopped screaming, a man came up to her and helped her solve the financial issue. He turned out to be the agent that would go on to help her with her career.
Helena Bonham Carter who portrayed Princess Margaret in The Crown, actually knew her.
As it turned out, in childhood, Helena Bonham Carter met Princess Margaret several times. The thing is, the actress’s uncle was in The Grenadier Guards and he protected Margaret and Elizabeth II. He was friends with the Princess and, as Helena thinks, was even in a romantic relationship with her. At one of the parties in her uncle’s house, Margaret even talked to Bonham and praised her acting skills.
For 2 years, Russell Crowe was pranked on the phone.
For 2 years, Russell Crowe was phone pranked by someone named Michael. Wherever he stayed and no matter under what name, Michael called him and told him stupid jokes. Very often, the caller asked for someone with the last name Wall. “Is Mr. Wall there? Is Mrs. Wall there? Are there any Walls there?” Crow says recalling the phone calls. “’Then what’s holding the roof up? Haha.” Once, this guy called Crowe and told him he had to leave the building. And then he laughed and said, “Don’t worry Russell, just kidding, this is Michael.” This is when the actor realized that it was Michael Jackson. They never met in real life.

According to the royal protocol , the members of the royal family are supposed to only wear black on days of mourning .

While Meghan Markle is the big rebel in the House of Windsor, Kate Middleton is the opposite — she’s perfect. But even though the Duchess of Cambridge follows the Royal protocol carefully and respects the age-old traditions, she sometimes does things that are contrary to it.
We at Bright Side decided to highlight 10 times when Kate Middleton ignored royal protocol, but did it in such an elegant manner that nobody really noticed it. And at the end of the article, we share a story of how Kate was put in an awkward situation.
She appears in public without her engagement ring.
The members of the royal family are not allowed to appear in public without their engagement rings. But Kate has broken this rule several times. For example, in 2018, during her visit to the Great Ormond Street Hospital, the wife of Prince William wasn’t wearing her famous sapphire ring, she was only wearing her wedding band.
She wears bright nail polish.
Meghan Markle is not the only one that breaks the royal beauty rules. The Duchess of Cambridge has also been seen with dark nail polish but, for some reason, it didn’t make a splash in the media. We’ve noticed that Kate loves bright pedicures but her manicure is always on the lighter side, according to the rules.
She wears pretty short dresses.
There’s an unwritten rule that says that the length of the skirt or dress of a royal family member shouldn’t be more than 4 inches above the knee. But Kate sometimes breaks this rule and wears short (by the royal standards) skirts and dresses.
She doesn’t use weights for her dresses.
In order to keep their dresses and skirts down, even when it’s windy, they have small weights sewn into them. Even though the Queen always follows this simple rule, Kate often neglects it, which sometimes results in awkward situations. Reportedly, Middleton normally tries to wear clothes that produce static in the hopes of keeping it in place.
She wears black (and not just on days of mourning).
According to the royal protocol, the members of the royal family are supposed to only wear black on days of mourning. And even though Kate’s wardrobe mostly includes clothes in bright colors, she sometimes ignores this rule and wears all-black outfits. For instance, Kate recently visited the Natural History Museum wearing a black elegant suit from Alexander McQueen.
She wears heels that are taller than 3 inches.
Another royal rule says: women should not wear heels that are taller than 3 inches. But Kate has a different opinion. She often, if not always, wears really tall heels.
She finds herself in the middle of scandals.
For the baptism ceremony of the first child of the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex, Kate chose to wear the memorable pearl earrings of Diana. But this gesture seemed inappropriate for many people since Kate was accused of attempting to steal all the attention. Fans of the royal family agreed that the earrings should have been worn by Meghan because the Princess of Wales was wearing them during the baptism of Prince Henry.
She violates the royal dress code.
In 2012, for the parade during the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Kate chose a red Alexander McQueen dress while all the other guests were wearing pastel colors. Her clothes were so bright that she almost overshadowed the Queen herself.
She allowed her husband to witness the delivery of her child.
According to Windsor tradition, the father of the child can’t be there for the birth. So, for example, when Prince Charles was born, the Duke of Edinburgh was busy playing squash and when William was born, Charles was playing polo. But Kate broke this rule by asking Prince William to be with her at this important moment. So, the Duke of Cambridge has been with her each time she’s given birth.
She celebrates Christmas separately from the royal family.
Traditionally, on Christmas, the entire royal family gets together in Sandringham. They go to the church service, exchange gifts, watch the Queen’s speech on TV, and enjoy dinner. But the Cambridge family has broken this rule twice — when they celebrated Christmas with Kate’s parents.
Bonus
In 2014, during an official visit to New York, the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge visited the Brooklyn Nets — Cleveland Cavaliers game where a small incident happened. For the photo, LeBron James hugged Kate Middleton. So, the player broke the royal protocol that says that nobody can touch members of the royal family. You can see the embarrassed look on Kate’s face.

Do you prepare school lunches for your kids ?
Have they ever wanted to do it themselves ?

“Organized children aren’t simply born. They are raised,” said Dr. Damon Korb, a pediatrician and a father of 5. He believes that helping your kids take on their own lunch-making duties will make them more confident and independent thinkers.
We at Bright Side also want our children to be creative thinkers and problem solvers. And we decided to find out how letting your kid pack their own lunch box can benefit them.
1. They practice forward thinking.
Preparing their own school lunches teaches kids how to plan ahead. They need to think about whether they’re going to be hungry if they don’t pack enough or about what to put into the lunch box. The best way to develop these important planning skills is to engage kids in everyday tasks.
2. They can learn problem-solving.
Making lunch requires planning and problem-solving. Kids will have to tell parents if they’re running out of some food and whether they need to buy something. Trying new things can be challenging for children, but learning from their mistakes and attempting complicated tasks promotes problem-solving, according to Dr. Korb.
3. They learn order.
There’s an order in following a recipe, and preparing a meal helps kids to learn sequence and routines. If your child struggles with a task, break it down into simpler steps. For example, parents can encourage kids by keeping simple food supplies on-hand.
4. They make healthier food choices.
Children who help with household chores tend to eat more vegetables and have less likes and dislikes of foods. They are also less likely to skip breakfast and to have snacks, and usually choose more healthy foods. Offering your child choices gives them the independence they need as they get older, Dr. Korb believes.
5. They learn independence.
By the third grade, most children can make their own breakfast and pack their own lunch for school. It teaches them time management and how to make independent decisions. It’s the perfect time for parents to step back and take at least one task off their to-do list.

There comes a time in everyone’s life in which one has to admit that thing that nobody ever wants to admit: we’ve grown old. Yup, it’s terrible, but someday everyone has to realize and then admit that they are no longer as fast, as agile, or as strong as they were before. Just thinking about the word “old” can make some people cringe. But there’s nothing to worry about because, as we said before, it is something that you simply can’t avoid. So maybe the best solution is just to take it lightly and even joke around about the fact that you’ve gotten old.

When new computer technology appeared at the end of the last century, the process of movie production changed completely. Directors of iconic blockbuster films realized that a new era had begun, and as a result, very few movies without special effects exist today, even in the drama category.
The Bright Side team decided to look back at famous movies where visual effects artists did some really funny things.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2, 2012
The famous vampire saga suffered quite a bit because of the over-the-top special effects: the graphics for some of the key elements of the franchise were far from perfect — and sometimes, downright terrible. An obvious example was with Renesmee, the child Edward and Bella had that was created completely with special effects. The glassy-eyed look and the overall unnatural appearance of the character didn’t make fans or critics very happy, and the film was nominated for 11 Golden Raspberry Awards.
Cats, 2019
The Broadway musical Cats was made to be a big blockbuster but turned out to be a massive flop despite the famous actors in the cast and super-modern computer effects. In 2020, the film won “Worst Film” at the Golden Raspberry Awards.
Avengers: Endgame, 2019
Avengers fans probably remember the scene with Brie Larson at the beginning of Avengers: Endgame. In it, the character is flying in space while her hair is moving. But the problem is, in space, there’s no air, which means no wind or movement.
The Mummy Returns, 2001
Many of us remember The Mummy franchise from our childhood. It was so incredibly popular that the creators of the first film decided to make The Mummy Returns. Even though one of the roles was played by Dwayne Johnson, the graphic designers still decided to tweak his looks with computer effects. It looks like the designers played a lot of computer games when they were kids. You can see the result of their work in the screenshot above.
Aladdin, 2019
The cartoon about the adventures of Aladdin was so popular in the ’90s that almost 30 years after the release of the original cartoon, Hollywood decided to make a musical based on the story. The movie adaptation got quite contradictory reviews from critics that didn’t like the CGI in the film along with the fact that the musical was a bit different from the original cartoon in terms of its story.
The Green Lantern, 2011
Ryan Reynolds’ role in The Green Lantern is hardly his claim to fame. 9 years after the release of the superhero film, the actor himself still laughs at the poor quality of the film’s CGI that was actively used. In fact, in one of the additional scenes in Deadpool, Reynolds goes back to the past to prevent himself from appearing in The Green Lantern.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 2009
The cartoonish and somewhat ridiculous claws of the main character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine really disappointed fans of the famous franchise. And it’s hard to disagree with them since the budget of the film was $150 million, part of which should have been spent on better CGI experts.
Sonic the Hedgehog, 2020
For some reason, the graphic artists who worked on Sonic the Hedgehog decided to use human-like teeth on the animal. This detail almost sabotaged the release of the film. The face and the body proportions of this character really disappointed fans of the computer game and they even asked the creators to change the appearance of their favorite character. Their concerns were heard and the company spent $5 million on sharpening the appearance of Sonic the Hedgehog.
I Am Legend, 2007
Great acting by Will Smith and the adapted screenplay for I Am Legend allowed the film to win a lot of awards in different movie festivals. But critics and viewers still noticed the CGI flaws: the zombies in the film looked as if they were videogame characters.
X-Men: Apocalypse, 2016
X-Men: Apocalypse is the worst film of 2016, according to BBC. It’s probably due to low ratings and bad reviews that were left after witnessing the special effects in the film — some characters looked way too unrealistic.
Hulk, 2003
The comic books about Hulk are incredibly popular and the film should have been too, but something went wrong. Many viewers ignored the film because of how ridiculous the main character looked, despite the fact that a team of over 100 artists worked on it. However, creators still made a sequel for this film and released it in 2008. It was much more successful than the original movie.
