20 Worst Movies Of 2015

1. Mortdecai

Rotten Tomatoes: 12% 2015 could have been the year Johnny Depp hit rock bottom and then triumphantly dragged himself out of the gutter with an excellent performance in Black Mass. It should have been, in fact. But then the trailer for Alice Through The Looking Glass came out and obliterated all sense of goodwill for the wayward talent. It's best just to accept that even with flashes of brilliance, he's too far gone. He definitely did hit rock bottom though, thanks to this appalling, unfunny caper that seems lost in time. Mortdecai is self-consciously quirky, and positions itself as a sort of modern Pink Panther, while Johnny Depp over-commits so horribly to the character that you have to suspect that his ability to discern what makes a worthwhile project is now completely broken. And this from a reported Anglophile who loved the genius character comedy of the Fast Show. He apparently learned absolutely nothing from it.
