"You’re telling me that with all of the source material — which inspired tons of well-known sci-fi franchises today — and a $177M budget, they ####ed it up by miscasting the leads and giving an unfocused plot??"
1
Eragon
"I will forever stay mad about how badly Eragon turned out."
2
The Dark Tower
"Source material (Stephen King book series) is amazing. Movie is crap."
3
Man of the Year
"A comedian launches a third party bid for the presidency and wins. Despite a solid performance from Robin Williams, a thoroughly forgettable movie with a lame script. Could've had a lot of heart and a lot of laughs."
4
Daybreakers
"It was a pretty cool look at a vampire society, but the second half about the cure was so dumb."
5
Jupiter Ascending
"The premise of this movie was really interesting, but the plot kinda went nowhere, and the acting was cringeworthy at times."
6
Hancock
"The second half isn't even a terrible movie. Or at least not a terrible premise for a movie. But it needed more time to tell a whole story. In the hands of a better writer, it could have been two really good movies."
7
The Last Airbender
"I don’t believe there’s another movie in existence with such poor execution. It’s almost hard to believe how bad that film was."
8
Jumper
"It was one of those movies made at the time when everyone was so desperate for a franchise that could appeal to teens and adults. But the first movie focused so hard on being the first in a trilogy that it forgot to be fun."
9
A Wrinkle in Time
"It was one of my favorite books as a child. Disney’s version was so bad I had to turn it off. I’ve willingly sat through a lot of bad movies in my day, but it was so cringey I just couldn’t do it."
10
Dark Phoenix
"My god, Michael Fassbender tried so goddamn hard to save this movie, and he just couldn't do it, not even close. His role in this movie is on my shortlist of good performances in crap films."
11
Gods of Egypt
"That movie is criminally bad, yet had all the potential in the world to be a massive hit and cement itself as one of the best movies based on ancient mythology."
12
Mortal Engines
"The steampunk-esque engineering aspect was so cool, but it ended up being about some sappy romance between teens. A let-down."
13
Yesterday
"A man wakes up in a world where The Beatles never existed. Amazing premise, awful ending. They did NOT know how to land that plane well."
14
The Percy Jackson movies
"They literally had all the great source material in their hands, and they threw it all aside to make their own dumb movie with just the same character names."
15
Artemis Fowl
"I turned it off 20 minutes into it. They absolutely butchered it. I was so disappointed because I had waited like 20 years for this movie."
16
Downsizing
"A movie with people being shrunk down to five inches... so obviously it’s about a boring romance and global warming. I think of it as a movie that thought it was too good for its own premise."
