10 Action Movies That Prove Hollywood Hates You

You played the game, heard the soundtrack and read the novelization with your finger following the words and your lips moving, so why ruin it by watching the movie?

Any follow-up that Christopher Lambert doesn’t want to appear in can’t be good, but even by the standards of sequels to video game adaptations, Annihilation is all cheesy effects and blah acting, with enough shirtless beefcakes to qualify for an Adult Entertainment award. Taking Lambert’s place is James Remar, who dons a grey wig, strokes his chin and delivers stoic platitudes, unintentionally setting up one of the movie’s biggest laughs.

Sacrificing his immortality in order to live as a human (only to regain it before the end credits), Remar undergoes a bewildering transformation from a white-robed sage into a kung-fu warrior with a buzzcut. Imagine Gandalf transforming into Gary Daniels and….on second thoughts, don’t bother.
