  1. The Avengers
    The Avengers is too enervated to qualify as even a full-scale disaster.
  2. Returner
    With his tousled mane and wispy facial hair, Asian pop star/ Prada model Kaneshiro suggests a Japanese Johnny Depp, but even his charisma can't carry Returner through its interminable longueurs. Blame it on Yamazaki.
  3. Tea with Mussolini
    The film values quips and declamations over natural conversation (or an explanation of how such intelligent women could have been so blind to world events).
  4. The Haunted Mansion
    Tame and witless enough to make me long for the ancient, dusty fright kitsch of ''The Munsters.''

    It's All About Love
    The experiment didn't work. The English-language production is a jumble of poorly delineated notions about love, celebrity, the look of romantic movies, and the sound of American-style dialogue - and it's been sitting on the shelf for over a year.
  6. Van Helsing
    Van Helsing, a fusion of eye candy and brain sputter, is a long, kinetic, yet dreary mess.
  7. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
    The movie is a true folly, yet there's no denying that Gilliam has gotten some of the hallucinogenic madness of Thompson's novel on screen.
  8. Max Keeble's Big Move
    Garish, squeal-pitched preteen comedy.
  9. Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
    Without any of the patented Farrelly insight into the insecure, horndoggy teen in every man, and without a grown-up setting in which Harry and Lloyd can transgress like dum-dum geniuses,Dumb and Dumberer is dumberest.

    BASEketball
    Exhibits none of the infectious offhand tastelessness of their hit show and all of the insistent overkill of a Mel Brooks joke gone horribly wrong.
  11. Christmas with the Kranks
    In its hostile sitcom way, Christmas With the Kranks is a paranoid comic nightmare of conformity gone mad.
  12. Vanilla Sky
    If Crowe's eyes are open, he seems to have directed most of Vanilla Sky with his mind wide shut.
  13. Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
    There's no enjoyably outlandish hiss to this variation on the formula, and no Ice Cube or Owen Wilson, either. This time, a ship of capitalist fools (and no movie stars, unless you count utility player Morris Chestnut as a headliner) steams along the river in Borneo.
  14. Ocean's Twelve
    What's on screen is lazy, second-rate, phoned-in -- a heist in which it's the audience whose pockets have been picked.
  15. Kazaam
    It takes the movie all of 15 minutes to descend into sub-Spielbergian banalities about poor Max's search for his absentee dad.
  16. Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead
    Its greatest achievement is that there isn't a single convincing scene in it.
  17. Speed 2: Cruise Control
    Yet Speed 2 is as slow-moving as a garbage scow. Those blinking lights might as well be emanating from a vital-signs monitor. The story is dead in the water.
  18. Michael
    The director, Nora Ephron, displays her peerless gift for making everything seem snappy and mushy at the same time, and Travolta's performance has a slovenly, I-can-do-anything-and-you'll-still-love-me obnoxiousness.

    Carpool
    Carpool is affably stupid Saturday-matinee fare -- good for opiating the kids for a few hours -- but let's just say it's no Big Bully.
  20. Dolores Claiborne
    Since there is a mystery, the movie might have been entertaining camp had director Taylor Hackford staged it with pace, style, or a whisper of surprise. Instead, the plot just clunks forward-for two hours and 10 minutes.
  21. I Love You to Death
    I Love You to Death is strenuously unclever.
  22. Beverly Hills Cop III
    Though not quite the fiasco of revved-up gunplay that Beverly Hills Cop II was, this new movie, directed by John ''Rock-'em Sock-'em'' Landis, is just a clunky action thriller, with occasional comic moments rationed out to the audience like stray crumbs.
  23. Air America
    The movie has no script, and even the better gags - like one in which a couple of the pilots scribble away at coloring books in the backseat of a plane - could have been staged more vividly.
  24. Nightwatch
    Nightwatch is a horror for reasons that have nothing to do with suspenseful moviemaking.
  25. Virtuosity
    Washington is wasted here. Kelly Lynch is wooden. Crowe has a ball going over the top, but how much taunting and eyeball popping can a performer do?
  26. Jonah Hex
    The star is done in by the deathless mediocrity of the production, an assemblage of random camera shots, messy editing, redundant scenes, and witless dialogue as haphazardly stitched together as the flesh on Jonah Hex's face.
  27. Trouble Every Day
    A demented, orgiastically gory vampire/sex parable.
  28. Morlang
    A portentous and goopy Dutch drama.
  29. CJ7
    Trivial and charmless.
  30. Boarding Gate
    This one is just murk.
