5. The Angry Birds Movie

If you work in an office, you spend the day like most of us; rounds of online games, excessive coffee-ingestion and perfecting the appearance of looking busy. There will be that one guy who remembers birthdays, smiles, tries to tell politically correct jokes and discusses the importance of "synergy". You would gladly watch this man lose all what makes him happy.

This movie is that man. And sadly, your wish wasn't granted. The Angry Birds Movie - a film based on a f**ng 80G phone app - is the number two highest-grossing video game film of all time. We bought that cynical crap.

This is what happens when a cell phone game decides it wants to aim for Pixar. It ropes in every voice-talent imaginable and takes a thin, lazy plot to make up for the obvious lack of writing talent.

To quote the New York Times' review: "I deserve better. My children deserve better."
