I hate to be one to dwell on the negative, but these movies flat out sucked. Everything listed here left me either angry or disappointed, and most often it was a combination of both. Here now are the Worst Movies of 2010, in chronological order by release date except for one: I like to save the very worst for last.
Leap Year was released in the first week of January, and it couldn’t have gotten the year off to a worse start. Eerily enough, the first six months of the year were just brutal in terms of quality, prompting some to call this the worst year ever for movies. Thankfully things improved, and Amy Adams redeemed herself with The Fighter, but “Leap Year” is a glaring reminder of how bad a star vehicle can be.
Speaking of stars in terrible movies, I felt genuinely sorry for Bruce Willis after seeing him in Cop Out. Not only did he have to put up with Tracy Morgan, who played the single most annoying character in the history of motion pictures, but he had to keep a straight face while doing it. How could Kevin Smith have directed this?
More after the jump.
Remember Me had the worst ending a movie has ever had. EVER. And could someone please tell Robert Pattinson to go away? If a "Twilight" movie opened this year -- I genuinely don't remember -- it probably belongs on this list as well.
If Freddy Krueger actually stayed dead any of the first eight hundred times he was killed, no one would have complained. Certainly not anyone who sat through the dreadful A Nightmare On Elm Street reboot at least.
Not only was Robin Hood a bloated, colossal bore, it’s also the movie that got a rough summer off to an awful start. I didn’t think Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott could make a movie worse than A Good Year, but they have. And let this be a lesson to us all: The next time you say “It can’t be worse than…” the only proper response is “Yes it can.”
Thanks to an uneven performance from Steve Carell, Dinner for Schmucks was a total misfire. And after seeing him in Due Date, I’m officially over Zach Galifianakis. At least until “The Hangover 2” next summer.
Sass, style, stupidity. Step Up 3D looked great in 3D, but was so hideously dumb that I want someone to punch me in the face if I ever “step” into one of these movies again.
If you want a headache, see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. It tried to be creative and had an original premise, but it becomes one-dimensional and tedious very quickly. And I’m tired of seeing Michael Cera play the same role in every single movie. Evolve or perish, Mr. Cera.
In Lottery Ticket, we saw what happens when stupid, uneducated people encounter large sums of money. I’m referring, of course, to the filmmakers and their production budget.
As far as alien invasion movies go, the cheesy effects in Skyline are as bad as it gets. As was the acting. And the directing. And the script. You get it.
Remember The Warrior's Way? It came out less than a month ago and I almost forgot to include it. That would be a shame if I did, because it really deserves to be mentioned in this column.
Disliking M. Night Shyamalan is starting to feel like picking on a fat kid on the school playground: Sure it’s amusing at first, but after a while you feel bad and start to pity the poor soul. So I’m not going to rub in the fact that The Last Airbender had the worst 3-D I’d ever seen, the script was terrible and the performances were worse than awful. I’m just going to say this was the worst movie of the year and call it day.

... What about Never Let Me Go? That's two hours I'll never get back. Now I'm sure there are people out there that liked that movie, but I certainly wasn't one of them. Peeling back the layers of my eyeballs would be more entertaining than that movie. Ack! |
