England in the World Cup, finding out Santa doesn’t exist, the first time you have sex and watching the films of Michael Bay, any of them, are all disappointing life experiences.
That sinking feeling you get when you have been looking forward to something, only for it to blow up in your face in a puff of missed opportunity, it can be a hard thing to get over. This is especially true when it comes to movies. If it’s a follow-up to a smash hit blockbuster or an adaptation of a beloved franchise, sometimes productions crumble under the pressure and end up being critical failures.
So make yourself a cup of tea and come with us on a journey of broken dreams as WhatCulture uses this scientific formula
to work out and count down the 100 Most Disappointing Films Of All Time. And take note, we’re not saying every film on this list is a bad film, some are good and some have even gone on to become ”cult classics,” but all are disappointments in terms of what they could have been.
100. RoboCop 2 (1990)
After the success of his bleak Batman graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, Frank Miller was approached to write the sequel to one of the best films to come out of the 1980s, RoboCop. Paul Verhoeven was busy with Total Recall and unable to return, and directing duties passed to The Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner.
Even with Peter Weller reprising his role as Alex Murphy/RoboCop and the inclusion of Verhoeven style news reports and tongue-in-cheek adverts, RoboCop 2 failed to take anything else from the first movie. Instead of carrying on the humanization of RoboCop he was almost reset to how he was before his journey of self discovery that concluded with him killing the man who was responsible for his death.
Frank Miller’s script was considered unfilmable and ultimately rewritten. The violence was increased, satire diluted and the decision to make one of the main antagonists a pre-teen named Hob was heavily criticised. Both Weller and Nancy Allen who returned as Officer Lewis, made their feelings known that they thought the film was a negative experience to work on. RoboCop 2 needed the Verhoeven magic.
Frank Miller’s original script did resurface in comic book form, however in many ways it’s thankful that his story wasn’t turned into a feature as it’s not very good either.
99. The Lovely Bones (2009)
With the Lord Of The Rings trilogy under his belt and King Kong being a fairly decent (if overlong) remake, when it was announced that Peter Jackson would be tackling Alice Sebold’s bestselling novel The Lovely Bones, the general consensus was that Jackson was the best person to bring the books themes to the cinema.
The story centers around a teenage girl named Susie Salmon who is raped and murdered by a next door neighbour. Looking down from the Afterlife, Susie watches her family deal with her murder while she attempts to come to terms with her own death.
Where the book managed to find the right balance between the more supernatural afterlife moments and the horrific events unfolding in the real world, Jackson missed the mark completely and the transitions between the two were jarring to say the least. Although most of the cast acted their socks off, especially Stanley Tucci who was on top form as pedophile Harvey, it seemed that Jackson had forgotten to focus on telling a good story and instead his priority was creating pretty imagery.
98. Lara Croft Tomb Raider (2001)
Anyone who grew up with the first PlayStation, the chances are that you had one or two dirty thoughts about Lara Croft. So when it was announced that Angelina Jolie would be bringing her to life in a big screen movie, teenage boys around the world jumped for joy with awkward bulges in their pants. The Tomb Raider games were pretty decent so with the ideal casting choice, we were all hoping for a fun, Indiana Jones type, archaeological adventure film.
But we should have known better. In a typical Hollywood move, they pumped out a film that was full of forgettable action scenes, a weak plot that couldn’t carry the ambition and direction that lacked any drive to generate excitement. Jolie’s performance was praised but everything else was was panned.

watching the films of Michael Bay, any of them, are all disappointing life experiences
———————–
As a huge fan of Bay (been a fan of his movies for more than 15 years. Which is probably your age.) I can say only one thing: you are one sad, small, angry, delusional, little thing. But it’s OK, not a lot of people outside the internet share your opinion on Michael Bay and that’s exactly why his movies will keep attracting millions and millions of people all over the world. Just like all of his previous movies have attracted millions of people all over the world. So…who’s winning at the end of the day? Certainly not you.
So keep up with the Bay-bashing, little blogger. Keep pretending that the entire world is populated by film critics and bloggers who hate Bay’s films. Keep living in the Matrix. We, the people who live in the real world, will keep supporting the man because he’s one of the few in business who know how to make truly entertaining movies. Oh and yes, according to Forbes he is THE most powerful and influential director in Hollywood right now, which means that you’ll see more and more and more movies from him. He’s just getting started. I’ll stop here before you end up killing yourself because you can’t accept the fact that the majority of people like his movies.
Now stop here and read my comment again. Because I doubt your Bay-hating brain can understand what I said without overheating.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, friend. Just because yours is different, doesn’t mean that you’re right.
I have to agree with Smith.
Eh? where’s my bloody comment??
Michael Bay is a terrible director. You may like him and his films, but they’re awful. Some things are just fact…
Great list, Amarpal – agree with the vast majority of them. I think Ridley Scott deserves most of the criticism for Prometheus – it’s just easier to blame Lindelof.
lol, you mad?
I just have to say..Bay SUCKS, Ive thought his movies were pathetic mountain dew BS since the 90′s. The internet does NOT love Bay. Quite the opposite, actually. Im 35.
It always cracks me up when I see criticism of Speed Racer. It is truly a live action episode of the cartoon it is based on. If it had been anything else they could not have called it Speed Racer.
We get it, you hate Titanic. But saying it’s a box office bomb? You’re entitled to your opinion, but not at the expense of fact.
Hi. I was joking when I called it a ”box office flop,” it clearly wasn’t but that doesn’t mean it was a good film.
Great article and fantastic researching but wheres the love for JJ Abrams? You make it sound as if he has no substance but I’d argue he treated the Star Trek reboot with exactly the right amount of vision for a new series and reverence for the source material. I’ll give you that film has it’s flaws but the plot holes allow for an economical balance of action to drama. And Super 8 was a great film, I don’t know what you’re talking about, it has the broken family Spielberg tones that never really rang true with me but I don’t think that warrants calling it a “turd”. What exactly is it about Abrams you dislike so much?
Thanks for the comment. He is an immensely over rated director. He is very gimmicky and obvious with his characters and story telling. I really think when people look back at his film CV in a few years time, his films will be more harshly judged, in the same way Lost is.
I feel very silly now having read the whole article you make a persuasive argument against the man. I still have to say in places you are overly harsh and slating Star Wars was a *ahem* bold move, especially on a site like this. It just feels like some paragraphs are throwing stones which undermines your integrity somewhat and feels like attention grabbing behaviour to be honest I wasn’t expecting on a site like this. I’m nitpicking though, great work. One more thing, is “Joss Weedon” an innocent misspelling of his last name or a dig at the man?
While I agree with almost everything you say about Avatar, Unobtanium is an actual scientific term first used by aerospace engineers since the ’50s.
Wtf ? You’ve trashed pretty much every major film of the last 25 years.
Having not seen Prometheus, I can’t really disagree with your selection of its top spot, however I can offer my top 5 of films I have seen:-
1. Star Wars Prequels – as a massive Star Wars fan I still enjoy these, but they could have been so much better!
2. The Dark Knight Rises – in my opinion, this was poor with way too many plot holes
3. Superman Returns – still not watched all the way through and now I have a hatred for all things Superman (I hope Man of Steel will bring back the love)
4. Indy 4 – again big fan of the series, but so so poor!
5. Spiderman 3 – cramming too much in! And that Peter Parker street walk/dance is just terrible!
Of your list, there are several films on here that I was pleasantly surprised by but obviously you are you entitled to your opinion. Maybe to stop readers slagging you off you such entitle your piece “My 100 most disappointing films”
This list was pretty disappointing for me.
This list was a disappointment.
Hey Amarpal- I am yet to read mate- will save it for lunch break tomorrow at work- but I assume Prometheus and Star Trek 2009 will be making an appearance? ;-)
No, neither of those films are on the list. :)
Number 1?!
If you rewrite and revise this list now that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you!
Some controversial choices (as I am sure anyone’s list would have) but an enjoyable read.
Happy New Year Amarpal!
lol, Happy New Year to you too.
I could not agree more with number 1. As a fan of the Aliens series I was crushed when I saw this film. I didn’t know what to say when I left the cinema and I was angry for days. This is worse than the second AVP movie. I actually avoided the cinema for a while after and I get free tickets. The next film I encountered was batman and that made m shun it until Life of Pi which was shockingly much better than I thought it would be.
Anyway Promethus has to be one of the worst films EVER made and if it wins awards I am going to fetch the zenomorph myself and set it off in FOXs HQ. hopefully it will also be he end of a riper Murdoch.
You are a man with brains and taste. If you felt half as bad as I did when I finished watching that film, then I share your pain.
truly, i think differently about the dark knight rises. I mean this. What exactly was so bad about it? plot holes? tell me them. the only plot hole i saw was at the end when the bomb blew up and they didnt state whether he lived or died. cmon!
Damn. Someone has a serious problem with J.J Abrams.
Even though there are some films on the list I love I get how they can be perceived as disappointing these 5 films should not be on the list (Titanic, The Dark Knight Rises, Star Trek, Avatar, and American Psycho)
You lost all credibility when you said Men in Black II was better than Men in Black III
Um… Clerks to was ranked fresh on Rotentomatoes and has a 7.4 on IMDB… It also made 5X its budget in the box office… Sorry you dont like Smith but that film actually is not considered a letdown.
I made my last comment before I read most of this… Can you retitle this most disapointing films for you? A lot of these were critical and box office success… You nail a few easy one like Star Wars prequels and Green lantern and Godfather 3, but some of these are nuts… Titanic was an oscar machine that took a decade to get off the box office charts and was highly recieved by critics… I’m not crazy about the movie but I don’t think anyone calls it a letdown you and I may not have been the target audience but doesnt mean it wasnt a success… Lotta movie snobbery here… That was just one example…
You can pretty much chart James Cameron decline in a nice, steady downward arc. He has always been partial to using characters that could be called cliches, if it’s Burke in Aliens or Hudson who started off as a stereotypical Marine but thanks to Bill Paxton, he became a slightly more fleshed out character. Terminator 2, The Abyss had the same but thanks to a good script and storytelling, the cliche’s were not obvious.
But the imbalance in Cameron’s films could be seen in True Lies, the bad guys were so crap, but again, thanks to a tight script, acting and the Schwarzenegger factor, it didn’t affect the film. However, by the time Titanic came steaming in, his scripts and characters had become cliche ridden. Yes the special effects were top notch but the rest of the film around them was terrible. And Avatar was even worse in those terms with the Navi and Colonel Quaritch the prime examples. That is why those films are a disappointment because Cameron has become too focused on the technology and creating a spectacle, he has totally forgotten on creating an interesting story to go with it. The target audience has got nothing to do with it, I’m able to appreciate a good love story if told properly like The Notebook for instance but Titanic was not it.
Also, the Oscars are never an infallible indicator of what is good or not.
And it is widely regarded and obvious when you watch it that Clerks 2 is nowhere near as good as Clerks.
i think you should either change the title of your article, or re-think some of your chioces. your title suggests that after much hype, speculation & anticipation – the film failed to deliver. but many of your choices were simply films that you personally did not like.
good examples of what your title suggest, are superman returns, x-men 3, and terminator salvation. we were all let down after much anticipation for all of films like these, after a ton of build-up. they have pre-existing fanbases and long time relationships with movie going audiences.
but how you can say films like avatar, transformers 1, TDKR and many others failed…well those fall into your personal distaste for the films, because they very much delivered on the promises they delivered for the overwhelming majority of people who saw them.
change your title to “the 100 films that disappointed ME the most…”, and your article will make much more sense. i agree with most of your selections, but there are even disapointing films that don’t make very much sense for an article with this title. showgirls, the day after tomorrow, and southland tales – nobody was really expecting much from these.
Having been a Transformers fan since they first appeared on UK screens, I like a whole lot of Transformers fans were looking forward to a live action movie for a long time. The one that we got from Mr Bay sucked for many reasons, including the way the transformers were redesigned, the script and the focus on Shia LaBeouf and Megan fox, take your pick.
And as for no one expecting anything from Showgirls or Southland Tales, we are talking about a Paul Verhoeven film and a follow up from Donnie Darko. And Day After Tomorrow was hyped as a big disaster movie but it had very little disaster.
I was going to go on an angry diatribe and accuse you of being one of the modern “I’m so hip and pretentious that I absolutely hate anything popular, and anything I love that becomes popular, I instantly hate-because I’m so intellectually above my peers” kind of folks, but ultimately decided it would be futile. So instead of attacking your opinions, which you are entitled to, and some of which I agree with, I will instead question your arguments, the main
Argument you pose in a list made up of sequels, reboots, and remakes, is a lack of originality. So I’m curious-what, in your mind, constitutes originality? There are very few original ideas anymore, the whole point is to do it in an original way. Almost every college literature class will teach you that there are really only ten stories ever written, it’s the way they’re told that matters. Yes-Avatar was Pocahontas for a new generation, just like Pocahontas was an animated Dances with Wolves(as was Fern Gully the Last Rainforest), and Dances with Wolves was an American take on thematic ideas from Lawrence of Arabia. These are not new stories-but can you honestly say that Avatar was not done in a unique way? And no, I’m not in therapy nor do I have a “questionable Internet search history” lol. Just like when you say casual viewers forgot about Abrams’ Trek. I’m a casual viewer, and I loved it. Liking those sorts of films does not make me a pathetic, introverted idiot lacking taste-it just means that I’ve learned not to take things so seriously. Sometimes, I just want to go to the movies and be entertained by watching a talented group of young actors do great versions of classic characters while things explode around them ( trek). Sometes I want to see something that’s never been done before(Avatar). And sometimes, just sometimes, I want to sit down and watch something that makes me have a good think-Moon comes to mind. I enjoy cerebral, and I enjoy stupid. Mostly I like being entertained, and your insinuation that people who like things that you don’t are somewhat intellectually lacking or are somehow beneath you, is, frankly, a bit insulting.
Having said all of that-I couldn’t agree more about Masters of the Universe. I remember being disappointed as an 8 year old child with that one. I pulled it off the shelf and dusted it off a few days ago-just to see if I could appreciate it now. I can’t. No prince Adam, no Cringer, no Battle-cat, NO ORKO! Travesty…
This has got nothing to do with “I’m so hip and pretentious that I absolutely hate anything popular, and anything I love that becomes popular, I instantly hate-because I’m so intellectually above my peers” as you put it, it has got everything to do with when a film puts it self forward as something special and it is anything but.
I can appreciate mindless action more than anyone, Schwarzenegger’s back catalogue has pride of place on my Blu-Ray shelf but Star Trek is so much more than that, and thanks to JJ it has been reduced to an average blockbuster with a weak script, that is why it was disappointing. Same with Avatar, you would have thought the second coming had been captured on film the way it was promoted but again, it was a great technical marvel to watch but as a film, it was a disappointing failure.
Yes originality is never ”original” but there are ways to tell an ”original” story and Moon as an example you gave is perfect at illustrating that.
“There are very few original ideas anymore, the whole point is to do it in an original way. ”
Its this sort of cynical attitude that drives producers and film companies to ditch original ideas and concepts. Great storytelling isn’t a concern any longer. Decent acting isn’t even a concern any longer. ITs a “Just give them pretty things to look at and they’ll stop thinking,” way of film making. And it’s really sad.
Bill I surely hope you have fun with your Shia Leboof, Justin Bieber reboot of Indiana Jones, Pukquel..er ah..Prequel/Reboot/Franchise for 2017. Im writing it for you now.
Oh-and unobtanium is just a mcguffin. I don’t understand why everyone bashes it. Nobody bashes the mysterious briefcase in Pulp Fiction. It’s simply there to help drive the narrative, and it happens in a lot if films. Is it because Cameron used an actual scientific term? What clever name would YOU give to a newly discovered element? Element A214? Maybe from the ant LV 246? Because that’s original, right?
100% agree, Avatar definitely makes this list. Personally for me it was the single most overhyped and pointless film I’ve seen in many years. Well done for having the conviction to actually say it though.
Thanks.
Can’t really buy in to JJ Abrams being called a hipsters favourite director; his recent outings have all been big budget ensemble action and Super 8′s pointless homage to E.T which missed the point of E.T.
A hipster director is one no-one has ever heard of and worked with no budget and written a film about the origin of vintage knitwear.
Agree with a lot of it, not really The Dark Knight Rises, I think people expected something like The Dark Knight where all I wanted was emotional pay off for the characters which I think they achieved quite well by the end.
Prometheus is stupid and says a lot of things without intending to answer them but I don’t think Lindelof is directly to blame, he adapted a script that was already written and was working from a story that Ridley Scott devised. It all tried far too much where a return to the original scale would have been much better.
Did you see Charlie Brooker rip the crap out of Dark Knight Rises on the 2012 Screenwipe?
I did, I can only vaguely remember what he said though? :/
Obviously this is 100 most disapointing movies watched by a monkey.
Some are really that means its a mix of human and monkey genes in the guy
Any “most disappointing films” list was going to be heavily subjective, and conflict with others’ opinions.
I found this to be a good read, and I have to say I agree with most of your choices. Reading Star Wars Episode VI though, that was a bold move right there haha.
Naming movies like Titanic and TDKR as two of the most disappointing movies of all time?
You are one entitled, pretentious douche.
Also, fix your spelling mistakes.
Its rare that I agree with an article of this type almost unanimously. Well done!
thanks. :)
This list had some really terrible choices. It had some good ones, but a lot of really bad ones. Starting with putting anything but Episode 1 in the number 1 spot. Nothing has ever (ever. ever, ever, ever) been as disappointing on such a massive scale as The Phantom Menace.
That aside, this is clearly “your” most disappointing films of all time as there are a large number of very good movies on this list. Also, what was the criteria? If it was disappointing based on anticipation, then movies like Crash have no business being on this list because they weren’t anticipated releases.
There are some beyond controversial choices on this list. Let’s start with TDKR. Great movie. You aren’t going to find a whole lot of people who say it is better than TDK, but it is still one of the best conclusions of a trilogy ever. And how about Return of the Jedi. It’s not as good as Empire Strikes Back, but nothing is. The original Star Trek is exactly what it needed to be to inject some life into the long-dormant series. If they had done it exactly like they’d done previous movies nobody would have cared about it- like the other movies. And nobody would have seen it- also- like the other movies. Look at box office and rental totals. Those numbers don’t lie. V for Vendetta far surpasses Watchmen critically, commercially, and in every aspect. I literally couldn’t find one thing on the internet saying Watchmen was better than V for Vendetta. I can find monkeys blowing asian midgets online. If I can’t track down anything agreeing with your assesment, I’d say it bares re-examining. As for Prometheus, it just wasn’t what you expected is what it sounds like. It was a beautiful way to start an origins story that can stretch beyond a single film. Did it ask a lot of questions? Yes. Did it answer all of them? No. But that doesn’t mean it was bad. Just because we had a film in the Aliens universe without Xenomorphs being crammed down our throats does not a bad movie make.
There were other smatterings of nonsense but those were the most glaring to me. I admire that you took the time to write this up, but lists this large tend to benefit from severalcontributors so that they don;t come across as, well, nonsense.
It does seem strange that you think no one cared or saw the other Star Trek movies considering it is one of the most successful run of movies ever. The fact that the series had a run of 10 films which all apart from one turned a huge profit, your point that no one ”cared”is totally inaccurate. The point about Star Trek 2009 being disappointing is that it turns the franchise into a standard action series. JJ Abrams has removed everything that made Star Trek unique but I said that in my reasoning. I also said that not every film in the list is a bad film, they are disappointing for various reasons but not all films are shit, i.e Alien 3.
If you cant find anything on the internet that states Watchmen is better than V For Vendetta, then I suggest you look a bit harder. Also, I don’t know if you have read either graphic novel but Watchmen was a much better adaptation,much more mature and much less pretentious, almost Kubrick like. Where Watchmen had its critics, most accepted that it was almost the best movie adaption anyone fan of the comic could hope for, Vendetta on the other hand was a disappointment.
And as crap as Star Wars Episode 1 was, Prometheus had far more riding on it. Everything from the trailers to the viral videos promised something special. If you don’t think the story and script totally broke that film, there are a number of articles on this site and others that explain how. It so could have been a huge movie event but it was a crushing disappointment thanks to a shoddy script that no one in the production seemed to pick up on.Yes it looked good but that isn’t enough to hide the films problems, with or without xenomorphs.
All the films on the list disappoint for different reasons but there are a lot of films I absolutely love on the list, just because a film disappoints, it does not mean that you necessarily hate it.And this list had weeks of research put into it with a number of people giving their opinions and thoughts.
Thanks for putting THE HOBBIT on this list. I couldn’t have been more disappointed. I think 2012 was the year of disappointing movie schlock.
I have to disagree with you on V For Vendetta… I thought Watchmen was much more disappointing than V was. I also think there are many-a-film that don’t even belong on this list. Clerks II comes to mind. ;)
Great list, I think we have the same taste in movies. Do you have a list of movie recommendations?
Samurai Cop.
This list is okay, mostly spot on. But just a few things:
1) Ang Lee’s Hulk was irredeemably awful, and The Incredible Hulk was not. Lee just had Hulk super-jumping for 10 straight minutes a couple different times through the movie. It took 15 minute concept and stretched it to about 2 hours. I don’t even think the plot could have taken up a 32 page comic issue.
2)Schwarzenegger was terrible as Mr. Freeze. There was nothing redeeming about Batman & Robin. It should be forgotten (along with “Forever”).
3) Not enough Michael bay movies (although, to be disappointed I guess there has to be expectation…so…withdrawn).
4) On that note, I wouldn’t call the likes of The Green Hornet, Caddyshack 2, The Heretic, or The Fly 2 (there are others on here) disappointments since those train wrecks cold be seen when the first producer said “Hey, I have an idea!” I don’t think many expected a good outcome.
5) I guess you might call The Hobbit a disappointment, but I think that mostly comes from stretching a book shorter than Fellowship into 3 movies.
6) Most of what Spielberg has done since the end of the 80′s (Private Ryan excluded) has been disappointing. He’s as much to blame for Indy’s fall as Lucas. Spielberg is like a Mom that allows Dad (Lucas) to beat his kids because he’s “going through a tough time”.
There’s more, but like I said it’s mostly spot on.
Speilberg did shindlers list. its probably the only important movie he has made though.
Whilst I disagree with a lot entries on this list, I can safely say that Shrek the Third and The Green Lantern are two of the worst films I have ever seen. I was incredibly disappointed about Green Lantern because Ryan Reynolds is usually brilliant and charismatic and, of course, Blake Lively.
Taken 2 should have taken a high spot too, it’s definitely the worst film I’ve ever seen in a cinema. But for me The Dark Knight Rises definitely didn’t have a confused story, it’s all pretty logical and out in the open. I also thought Christian Bale was superb in the trilogy, as do many people. The whole point really was that he wasn’t actually just playing Batman, he was exploring a realistic side to the character that had been ignored in all films before. He essentially played 3 different characters, The real Bruce Wayne, Batman, and the fake public persona of ‘Bruce Wayne’ that he pretends to be so people can’t get close to him and be hurt by the actions he undertakes as Batman. He gives a layered, conflicted performance that is one of the trilogy’s strongest aspects.
Of course I’m not trying to say that you’re wrong or anything, just my opinion. Otherwise I think this is a strong list and I’m glad Prometheus was number 1! Although I guess I would have placed it a little lower myself, it was definitely a major disappointment after all the build-up and its incredible marketing campaign. Good to see different viewpoints being aired, good job!
Prometheus was AMAZING
Look, I’m not going to shout from the rooftops about how many times I disagree with this article (simply put, it was alot). But please, for the love of literacy, spell check your work. I know a ‘Top 100′ list has a lot to read about, but surely its worth giving it a once over to avoid pissing off the Grammar Nazis like myself.
How can a film like Tomb Raider be disappointing when everyone knew it would be terrible?
Personally would have placed The Avengers (2012) at number 1 abover prometheus(which I enjoyed!), couldnt care less for the main characters but Loki was literally the worst antagonist I have ever seen in any film ever, some skinny dude with a magic stick and massive horns coming out his head,the whole film was soo cheesy, could not take any of it seriously, and the avengers never seemed in any real sense of danger, dark knight series all the way!
Sorry, i’ve seen worse super villians. Venom is spiderman 3 was just wrong. I would have cast someone else! He was SO MUCH WORSE!
I DISAGREE. THE ROAD IS A FANTASTIC FILM AND IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT A POST APOCOLYPTIC WORLD SO IT’S OBVIOUCLY GONNA BE GREY, AND IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FUN, BUT HORRIFIC, SADDENING AND DEPRESSING. IT IS SUPPOSED TO GIVE AN INSIGHT INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF SURVIVAL AFTER THE NUCLEAR DEVASTATION
SHUT THE HELL UP YOU BS SPREADING DBAG
Most disappointing? The f**k you’re writing.. they should cut your hands for having wrote this article in the first place. Must have taken so long to do this chart, it just makes me laugh.. You’re talking crap about SO many masterpieces!
I agree with you on a lot of these but V For Vendetta was good and your comment about Snyder making Watchmen better is kind of……eh. I’m not saying the movie wasn’t good, or that V was better, but come on it’s better than the league of extraordinary gentleman.
i have to disagree with you on 75% of these i like them the other 25% is well i have not seen them yet. but to each their own this list is your opinion and i have mine.
I’m surprised Back to the Future Part II (or III) isn’t on this list. Part II is just an uninspired, lifeless adventure movie sans the heart that the first movie had. And with a fully-functioning DeLorean time-machine that flies, almost every problem Marty and Doc run into seems laughable, as they have their deus ex machina that is never put to good use. And the set ups are atrocious. Again, why didn’t Doc just take Jennifer back to 1985 after knocking her out with the sleep-inducing generator? What purpose does leaving her unconscious body in an alley to get gang-banged by some homeless guys, and get picked up by the police? Also, did they absolutely need to go back to 1955 to get the book back from Biff? Why didn’t they just go to back to 1958, go to that horse track on Biff’s 21st birthday and jsut knock him out before placing that bet, steal the book, destroy it, and boom, end of story? It just feels so ridiculous. And Part III, while not terrible, just feels far too removed from the first movie to be really good.
I’m sorry, but you stating that Da Ali G Show was hilarious automatically invalidates your entire list.
I didn’t say the Ali G Show was hilarious, I said Bruno the gay Austrian TV presenter on the show was hilarious. He was less camp than he was in Bruno the movie and much funnier.
The Sum of All Fears? Fantastic book, movie was butchered to be PC. Wall Street 2? Epic first movie just to be followed by crap ass actors starring in the second movie.
