Total Downloads: 31.6 million Now, I'm not advocating piracy (theft is theft, after all), but none of The Hobbit movies really deserved anyone's money. Least of all in 3D. The shocking sub-standard quality of The Hobbit trilogy led to falling numbers at the box office and increased numbers of illegal torrents by the third instalment. Fans of the book or the Lord Of The Rings who didn't want to part ways with their hard-earned dollars for the final part of a trilogy they knew had produced two aggressively mediocre offerings already. Clearly, though, they were still intrigued enough to give the film a go online, owing to the film's none-too-surprising inclusion on this list. What they would have found is a needlessly-bloated CGI crapfest that once again made the mistake of having mo-capped orcs instead of reliable stuntmen in prosthetics. The film probably looked as awful as torrents can get on all those little computer screens.
