Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Phantom menace
Great expectations (1998 version)

Just have to ask.. Why Dark Knight?? By all accounts, Ledger basically created the 'real' Joker... I think that DK is one of, if not the best batman movie to date.

Every "Highlander" after the first one.

All of the "Starship Troopers" movies. God what a travesty those were...

Two movies i wish never existed:
Sweeney Todd, the version with Johnny Depp. i still want to stab myself in the eyes and ears when i think of that movie.
Killer Clowns from Outer Space. Only because this movie caused me immense psychological damage as a child.

What?!?

I have to say I liked the first Starship Troopers, 2 was bad and 3 should not have existed. Not read the books though so that helps I suppose.

This...The Dark knight was one of the better if not the best movies made in the past decade...

The you say. Genghis Connie loved it. Yes I do take my daughter to see musicals about murder, revenge, and cannibalism. After all sometimes you need to take your kids to see movies that reaffirm important family values...

Agreed.

This times infinity. The worst part about the first AvP movie isn't even how bad it is. The worst part is that it borrows just enough from the Dark Horse comics / novel (Aliens vs. Predator: Prey is completely superior to the comic portrayal) to make turning the comic/novel into a movie impossible.

Which is doubly messed up, since the original script for AvP WAS the comic/novel script until some corporate cheese head decided to change it.

Dark Knight was an awesome movie. I've watched a dozen times and am still finding allusions and references XD

Its only the Johnny Depp version that i despise. Ive seen others (a kinda recent brittish version comes to mind) and enjoyed the hell out of em.

Well it did have Helena Bonham Carter in it...

Helena Bonham Carter makes any role she has a great one.

Also, Sweeney Todd was great! Ghengis Connie, you have an ally on the East Coast!

Napoleon Dynomite.
The Hangover. Seriously, it wasn't even that funny the first time I watched it.
The Transformers Trilogy
Anything with Will Ferril in it. Seriously, he's NOT FUNNY!!! He plays the same dumbass character in every "comedy" film he's in.

And I just wish Wanted would have had a disclaimer at the end of the movie: "No, you cannot actually curve a bullet like a baseball, you stupid feth. The trajectory can be pushed left or right due to high winds, but the trajectory will not be curved, you stupid, stupid, STUPID feth. Go back to playing Call of Duty and pretending that you actually know about firearms. Because, Lord knows we can shoulder fire a 240B accurately whilst running, ACCURATELY!"

...Sorry, I'm done.

If someone is dumb enough to go into Wanted and think that a bullet can actually be 'curved' in that manner is an idiot and that's on them not the movie

But yes, Will Ferrel. I actually think he could be a funny guy, but his movies are just horrible. You can watch the trailers and get every laugh that the films offers.

I thought Ferrel was pretty damn funny in Anchorman..and in Old School as well, I liked him in the Other Guys too.

There are funny moments but they're more the writing than Ferrel himself I think. He's a guy who could be a lot better if given a good script.

Agreed, I remember his SNL years and thought he was funny there as well, but as you note...that can also be atributed to the writers.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull made me cringe.

Doom
Starship troopers 2&3
Anything else directed by Uwe Boll the Franchise Ruiner
Skyline
Twilight series
Suckerpunch
The Spirit (Good lord this one was boring.)
Troy (God tried to warn me twice against this one. First attempt the theater got struck by lightning and killed the movie, second time the DVD player broke, third time was the "charm"....I should've taken the hint.)


More to follow.

<quoted inappropriate pic redacted --Janthkin>
I find that pleasing to know that the film is being punished and mocked but also slightly disturbed .

And oh yes I agree that was Troy damn awful.

Uggh, I despised the Other Guys. I did enjoy Elf, though. And Talladega Nights.

I have to place the new TRON movie up there with Avatar. Beautiful to look at, but complete crap story.

Also the Count of Monte Cristo. Whatever martial arts or kung fu or whatever they were trying to do, totally worthless to the story. Speaking of which, no hollywood - you cannot cram a 900 page literary classic into a 90 minute movie.

In summary, any Dumas novel that's ever been forced onto the big screen = crap. Except for the Mickey Mouse version of 3 musketeers, that was awesome.

Crystal Skull really isn't that bad.
Maybe that's cause I was born at the turn of the 90s. But it wasn't bad. I liked it.

Aliens don't belong in an Indiana Jones movie *nerd rage!*

But face melting Christ Cannons and heart devouring witch doctors are ok?

I thought the alien thing was perfect. What was the big tabloid during the 50s? Aliens, mysterious visitors from outer space.

Of course they are. Indy hunts the supernatural, not the naturally super

And you forgot immortal Knight Templar and Jesus' juice cup

The Big Year.
This movie has not been released as yet, but is destined for failure on many levels.....
Cast: Owen Wilson, Steve Martin, Jack Black.
Sounds like a winner right?
Plot: Three avid bird watchers compete to spot the rarest birds in North America at a prestigious annual event.
Thats right... competitive bird watching...... And for you Brits, no, the kind with wings and feathers.

Starship troopers 2&3 (1 was good despite having that dick from how i met your mother in it)
Rocky
Rambo
Any stallone film in general


I felt that star wars 1-3 were quite good apart from the Character JJB and the massive plot hole in the revenge of the sith
