10 Movies Nobody Wants To Admit Suck

There's an almost impressive collective denial that Marc Forster's adaptation of World War Z isn't a bad movie, as if its infamously troubled shoot indicated such an atrocious end product that it being merely bad is a solid outcome overall.

Brilliant though Max Brooks' source novel is, this adaptation-in-name-only takes the book's branding to sell a shambolically by-the-numbers zombie actioner filled with inane dialogue and limply directed PG-13 violence. It certainly sounds like Paramount was cooking up a decidedly more daring film before they decided to scrap the entire third act and replace it with the safer slop we ended up with, but all the same, this is maddeningly dull for a $200 million blockbuster about Brad Pitt battling the undead.

That a sequel still hasn't materialised despite the film grossing an inexplicable $540.5 million worldwide perhaps speaks to how utterly beige and forgettable World War Z was from start to finish - much as fans of the book above all others don't want to admit it.
