Hey there guys. Well, the other day I put up my mid year report for what I personally think are the 10 best films of the year so far here at the mid way point of 2007. A bunch of people suggested that I put up a list for the WORST 10 films so far. So here we go. These are (in my opinion) the worst 10 films of the year so far.
1) THE CONDEMNED
Look, a brainless action film with Stone Cold Steve Austin should be the easiest thing in the world to not screw up… and yet… they found a way. Hands down the worst film of the year thus far… and I have a hard time imagining anything beating it by the end of the year. I smell Razzie.
2) SPIDER-MAN 3
I am at a total loss to how anyone can attempt to defend this wretched film (but that is the beautiful thing about the movies… we all see different things). Horrible everything. Horrible story, once great characters made shells, horrendous dialog, impossible to buy into conflict, zero character development and sub-plots that no one cared about. As a major fan of this franchise, this film broke my heart almost as much as Phantom Menace did.
3) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3
Yeah, let’s the change everything. Calypso?!?! WTF?!?! All you need to come back from the dead is a boat?!?! WTF?!?! Yuck… I won’t say too much else at the risk of spoiling things for those who still haven’t seen it. All I’ll say is that this pathetic film doesn’t deserve the same name as the original which have on my Top 100 films of all time list. Brutal, awful movie.
4) SHREK 3
I’m one of the few people who actually loved Shrek 2 even more than Shrek 1. Unlike Pixar films, Shrek has never had the strongest stories or most endearing characters… but it ALWAYS made up for it with pure hilarity. So Shrek 3 is exactly the same, except they removed the hilarity. Not kidding, I laughed ONCE in the movie. The theater was full of kids… the KIDS didn’t laugh either. So disappointed.
5) PATHFINDER
I can understand why Karl Urban did this film. I can also understand why he’s been pretending he didn’t ever since it was finished.
6) RENO 911 MIAMI
Fans of the show, please don’t take this as a knock against the show itself… just the movie. Was this supposed to be a comedy?
7) DEATH PROOF
Seeing how the movie is nothing but a set of four chicks sitting around talking about totally irrelevant stuff, only to later be replaced by ANOTHER 4 chicks who just sit around talking about irrelevant stuff… I suggest they change the name of this boring ass film to “THE VIEW: The Movie”. I swear having Kurt Russell sit on a couch and chat with Barbara, Rossie and the rest would have been more interesting.
8) THE NUMBER 23
I was so pumped about this film. The movie looked amazing from the concept… and having Jim Carrey stretch out to this kind of role was interesting to see. Too bad the 4 annoying teenage girls sitting behind us in the theater were more engaging than the film was.
9) EPIC MOVIE
Look, I GET spoof movies. BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM FUNNY!
10) BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE
As one person connected with the movie once told me: “What were we thinking making a Werewolf movie without any fucking werewolves?!?!” He was so right.
So there you have it folks, my personal list of the worst 10 films of the year thus far. My heard hurts just from thinking about these flicks again. So once again, what do you think doesn’t deserve to be on that list? What should be on that list that I didn’t put there?
