1. John Carter (2012)
A movie set on Mars, by default, shouldn't be boring. Not only is the location completely alien (no pun intended), but you've got an entire new freakin' world to explore - do that on a Disney-sized budget and put the man behind Pixar's masterpiece
WALL-E in charge, and... well, what could possibly go wrong? Everything, apparently, at witnessed by the snoozefest that is
John Carter, as adapted from Edgar Burroughs' iconic novel. I'm a big fan of Andrew Stanton, but I think even he'd probably have to admit that he dropped the ball with this one. So here's another gargantuan Disney effort that suffers from exactly the same problem as another one of their movies that I've included on this list,
Dead Man's Chest: dense with incomprehensible plotting, it's near impossible to get involved in the story - only this time, we don't even have Jack Sparrow to distract us, which makes it five times as dull. And although lots of effort has been put into creating the world that our hero navigates, the lack of stakes, interesting characters or a story makes watching
John Carter feel like a movie that exploded into a million pieces and was put back together by a five-year-old. Goodnight.
