12 Terrible Recent Movies Destined To Become Cult Classics

3. Gods Of Egypt

Why It's Terrible: Gods Of Egypt has already earned its spurs as a legendarily awful biblical epic blockbuster. Priced at a colossal $140 million yet still touting howlingly awful CGI while eking Razzie-worthy performances out of Gerard Butler and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, this wildly incompetent action adventure flick make's the summer's most disappointing tentpoles seem positively solid by comparison.

Why It'll Be A Cult Classic: Despite being objectively one of the worst blockbusters of the decade, Gods Of Egypt has an inimitable "so bad it's awesome" quality that has already won it a legion of apologists.

It achieves that rare balance of presenting across-the-board awful filmmaking and yet being an absolute joy to watch. The hammy performances (especially Geoffrey Rush as Ra, the God of Light), rank visual effects and barmy set-pieces (some even featuring robot fights) make it an absolute riot. Alcohol consumption during viewing is optional, but recommended.
