10 Recent Movies Which Scored 0% On Rotten Tomatoes

2. Gotti

No movie on this list has stirred up quite as much infamy as the John Travolta-starring Gotti - a biopic of legendary New York City mobster John Gotti.

With a staggering 55 negative reviews to its name, it's one of the most comprehensive "zero-percenters" on Rotten Tomatoes, and quite rightly so.

A biopic so formulaic and poorly assembled as to be indistinguishable from a feature-length SNL parody, Gotti sees Travolta hurling himself headlong into a movie that's alternately hilarious and boring from scene-to-scene.

Travolta's clearly trying, but his effort is all entirely in the wrong direction, turning one of crime history's most fascinating figures into a laughable caricature, while surrounded by one of the most programmatic crime thriller scripts ever written.

In a bizarre attempt to combat the tidal wave of negative press, the movie's marketing even directly engaged with the critical mauling, referring to critics as "trolls behind a keyboard," while insisting that audiences "loved" the movie. Right.

Gotti was eventually nominated for six Razzie Awards in basically every major category, though curiously won not a single one.
