10 Upcoming Blockbusters That Will Sink Faster Than The Titanic

5. G.I. Joe: Retaliation

The Release Date: March 29th, 2013 What It€™s Got Going For It: A little help, anyone? G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra remains to my memory one of the worst blockbuster action movies I€™ve ever seen, with everything from Joseph Gorden-Levitt and Christopher Ecccleston€™s pantomime foes to the pointless, atrociously-paced storyline reeking of Hasbro looking for another way to cash in on action figure adaptations after Transformers€™ success. Indeed, that the sequel Retaliation comes directly in the break between the third and fourth Autobot movies (Transformers 4 set to mobilise in the Summer of 2014) comes as little surprise nowadays. Why It€™s Already Doomed: With what I€™ve said above taken into account, and in addition The Rise Of Cobra€™s poor performance in its initial 2010 release, there€™s really going to be very little to entice viewers back for Retaliation. Perhaps Dwayne €˜The Rock€™ Johnson will bring in a few more WWE fans as he did in the decent Fast Five, but the chances of that lasting for much longer than opening week are once again rather slim unless the writers bring us a surprisingly cohesive narrative (and believe me when I say the chances of that are far worse). Throw in the fact that the much-anticipated Disney Oz prequel will land in cinemas just a couple of weeks before G.I. Joe does, and it€™s looking more and more likely that this will be one heck of a G.I. Flop once more. There€™ll be some entries on this list to come that€™ll still be worth your time, but based on past experience I€™d advise you veer well away from this one.
