  1. Jurassic Park III
    Stinks worse than dino dung. Sure, the creatures look good.
  2. Miss Congeniality
    I'd rather be buried in a mound of Floridian chad than watch director Donald Petrie force Bullock to jump through another desperately unfunny comic hoop.
    • Rolling Stone
  3. Swordfish
    Exhibits rank incompetence on every level.
  4. Dark Phoenix
    Dark Phoenix doesn’t just suck big time. It’s the worst movie ever in the X-Men series.
  5. Night School
    No matter how much money this clunker makes, this is a movie that never should have happened.
  6. Crazy/Beautiful
    From the lowercase lettering of the title to the deadly familiarity of the plot, there is much to grate on your nerves in this TV Afterschool Special trying to pass as a real movie.
  7. Scooby-Doo
    Get out your pooper-scoopers. Doo happens June 14th, warn the ads for Scooby-Doo. And they say there's no truth in Hollywood.
  8. Serendipity
    Does romantic comedy have to come off as sugared stupidity? It does here.
  9. Last Christmas
    It makes sense that Last Christmas isn’t coming out at the end of December but right on the cusp of Thanksgiving. It’s a bona fide holiday-movie turkey.
  10. Fifty Shades Darker
    This, however, is not Mamet – it's a beast of roaring stupidity that devours everything in its path, including the veteran filmmaker.
  11. Kings
    What we have in the misbegotten mess called Kings is a film of countless good intentions – one that starts going bad in its first scene, gets worse form there and then dissolves into pure chaos.
  12. Pain & Gain
    In between scenes of the muscleheads torturing their victim, Bay indulges his taste for treating women as sluts and grisly brutality as a nifty excuse for a cheap laugh. Pain and Gain is personal all right. You leave these characters with the distinct impression that they're Bay's kind of people.
  13. Something Borrowed
    The half-star rating goes to John Krasinski for heroically rising above this vile dung heap of a movie.
  14. Girl 6
    Girl 6 is shameless stuff -- pompous, sentimental and attitudinizing. To swat the Spikeman with his own symbol, the film feels like he phoned it in.
  15. Pacific Rim: Uprising
    This is Transformers-level inanity. This is a blow to your head from a mallet. It will not make you feel like a 10-year-old, but it will make you feel 10 years older than when you first entered the theater. It is certainly not personal in any way, shape or form, just strictly chilly, corporate to a fault and somehow both chintzy and wildly overblown.
  16. Life as We Know It
    This is crap as we know it, a 113 minute package of romcom suck.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 12 Critic Score
    The Other Sister
    It's not the emphasis on tics and grimaces that mars their essentially well-meaning performances, it’s the sitcom crassness of director and co-writer Garry Marshall.
  18. Feeling Minnesota
    If you see one Minnesota movie this year, make it "Fargo." This botch job should be stamped direct to video.
  19. The Hottie & the Nottie
    That generous half star rating I tacked onto this comedy abomination is all for Paris Hilton. Come on, it takes guts (or gross dim-wittedness) to appear on screen again after "House of Wax."
  20. Field of Dreams
    To be honest, I started hearing things, too. Just when Jones was delivering an inexcusably sappy speech about baseball being "a symbol of all that was once good in America," I heard the words "If he keeps talking, I'm walking."
  21. Hounddog
    What I can't figure is why anyone would want to release this tripe in theaters just when Fanning has nearly lived it down. They ain't no friends of mine, or any other moviegoer.
  22. Fair Game
    Fair Game, written and directed by men, allows model Cindy Crawford to make her screen debut as Miami lawyer Kate McQueen.
  23. Primal Fear
    You'd get more of a jolt from Angela Lansbury on "Murder, She Wrote" and more intellectual stimulation from a cozy game of Clue.
  24. Underworld: Blood Wars
    Like the four franchise fillers that preceded it, Underworld: Blood Wars is undoubtedly impervious to bad reviews. What it needs is a stake through the heart.
  25. One Day
    This tear-jerking twaddle, adapted by David Nicholls from his 2009 bestseller, is nearly as bad as Anne Hathaway's British accent, which is heading for infamy.
  26. London Fields
    This London Fields is nothing but fallow ground. Or, to apply the metaphor that Thornton’s scribe gives to Heard’s sexed-up temptress when he first meets her, it’s a black hole — something that sucks talent, taste, light, energy and matter into maw and leaves everything stranded in a void.
  27. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    I don't know what to say about the acting, writing and directing in G.I. Joe because I couldn't find any.
  28. The Ugly Truth
    Toss this ugly-ass crap to the curb, along with the other multiplex garbage, and see a romance that gets it right. I'm talking "(500) Days of Summer."
  29. The Roommate
    Sucks bad, real bad.
  30. Beverly Hills Cop III
    Whatever juice is left in the "Cop" franchise or in the once unstoppable career of Eddie Murphy peters out ignominiously in this poor excuse for a sequel.
  31. The Love Guru
    Ninety minutes pass like an eternity. Verdict: Down for the count.
  32. Winchester
    It shouldn't happen to anyone, much less a Dame – not a movie of such barreling awfulness as Winchester, which strands the great Helen Mirren in a gothic house of cards that collapses on actors and audiences alike.
  33. The Bye Bye Man
    Horror-movie fans often have put up with a lot to get their requisite amount of fright per month, and that tolerance limit is seriously tested by this slapdash attempt to introduce a new slasher hall-of-fame character into the mix.
  34. Repo! The Genetic Opera
    Misery is enduring this Rocky Horror Paris Show.
  35. The Last Days of American Crime
    The idea of putting these images out there at this very moment, and pimping it out as “entertainment” is, frankly, nauseating. It goes from being a crime against an art form to something a little more toxic. No. Nope. Nuh-uh. Netflix, what the hell were you thinking?
  36. Violent Night
    This is the sort of lazy, slapdash, self-impressed excuse for “edgy” entertainment that makes you enraged. It’s not even so-bad-it’s-good; this is so bad you’re tempted to kick those responsible for it right in the jingle bells.
  37. Chaos Walking
    Chaos Walking doesn’t even get to the level of high camp, where pleasure is found in the sheer badness of it all.
  38. The Shipping News
    The language is leaden, the pace glacial and the characters indecipherable. It's easier to read the actors -- they all seem eager to win an Oscar. Fat chance.
  39. Rollerball
    Say this for the soundtrack, it drowns out the lousy dialogue.
  40. Vatel
    This putrid dish marks a new low for director Roland Joffe.
  41. John Q
    John Q. is as fake as that tear, an exploitative mess trying to pass as social activism.
  42. Saving Silverman
    Peet is always worth watching, but the role does her no favors, and the script, involving a kidnapping and a surprise cameo by Neil Diamond - you heard me - smacks of desperation beyond saving.
  43. Van Wilder
    Painfully flat gross-out comedy.
  44. Antitrust
    Gives us good reason to believe that January really is the month Hollywood studios use to bury their cheesiest mistakes.
  45. The Million Dollar Hotel
    The script that Nicholas Klein has conjured from Bono's idea is a quicksand that sucks down a solid cast.
  46. Collateral Damage
    Abort! Abort! It's that time of year when Hollywood releases movies it should never have made in the first place.
  47. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    For some reason — maybe it’s because the seminal, ’74 original holds such a special place in so many die-hards’ hearts (this one included), and still feels like such a potent example of channeling primal fear — this latest ransacking of a landmark title feels less like just another killer-versus-final-girl rerun and more like the final straw.
  48. Summer Catch
    Filming this mess in North Carolina (strike three).
  49. Dracula 2000
    Dracula may stay undead in the new millennium, but there's not a sign of life - oh, that bloodless acting - in this sorry mess.
  50. Pay It Forward
    Crass manipulation can clean up at the box office, so do your part: Nail this flick as a bottom feeder and pay the bad word forward to three others.
    • Rolling Stone
  51. War of the Worlds
    This War of the Worlds isn’t bad or even so-bad-it’s-good. It’s a secret third thing, a hodgepodge of shoddy CGI and dead-eyed reaction shots from Ice Cube that make you feel like you can identify individual brain cells mid-death cycle.
  52. Down to Earth
    The call on this one is: dead on arrival.
    • 16 Metascore

    Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey
    Blood and Honey is a hundred-acre wasteland, a witless gory bore, and in the end, you’re just depressed that anyone spent time working on it.
  54. Holmes & Watson
    You can only swindle audiences by thinking you simply throw A-list stars in anything and people will still show up, drooling like Pavlov’s pups, for so long before the echo in empty theaters is deafening.
  55. After the Hunt
    It takes a lot of hard work and the perfect alignment of movie stars to make something this god-awful.
  56. The Animal
    Reeks like something produced from a squatting position.
  57. Slackers
    A shit stain on the genre.
  58. The Last Thing He Wanted
    On film, The Last Thing He Wanted settles for just being hollow. It’s the last thing any of us wanted.
  59. American Pie 2
    A slipshod sequel that looks tossed together over a weekend by people who couldn't care less.
  60. Tomcats
    Laced with such rampant misogyny that the laughs stick in your throat.
  61. Say It Isn't So
    A script by Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow that is minus a shred of Farrelly wit.
  62. Joe Dirt
    In one scene, raw sewage is dumped on Joe. See Joe Dirt and you'll know how that feels.
  63. Boxing Helena
    What Lynch, who wrote the script at 19, sees as high drama is really high camp. And Fenn seems clueless on how to play her limbless character.
  64. Mr. Deeds
    It's not just that the movie itself is wicked awful, it's that Mr. Deeds brings out the worst in Adam Sandler.
  65. Swimfan
    It would be great to see this turd squashed under a truck, preferably a semi.
  66. Hard Ball
    The film takes a true story and drags it through a swamp of hyped-up Hollywood cliches.
  67. The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)
    The film is in black-and-white so the gore doesn't spray quite as colorfully. But you'll still puke up a storm. Not so much at the movie, whose shock value wears off quicky, but at Six, who seems to hate himself almost as much as his audience. Masochists will give the movie a thumbs-up, as long as their thumb isn't already up their ass.
  68. Transformers: Age Of Extinction
    The Bay-man has made the worst and most worthless Transformers movie yet. I know, hard to believe, right? How could any summer blockbuster be as dull, dumb and soul-sucking as the first three Transformers movies? Step right up.
  69. Basic Instinct 2
    The laughs to be had in this deliciously awful sequel are all unintentional. A bummer for film buffs, but a ball for fans of the misbegotten.
  70. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
    What to say about this lame-brained, limp dick attempt to update a classic Brothers Grimm tale into an f-bomb throwing vomit-inducing 3D franchise? I say, screw the damn thing and run the other way.
  71. Madame Web
    A genuine Chernobyl-level disaster that seems to get exponentially more radioactive as it goes along, this detour to one of the dustier corners of Marvel’s content farm is a dead-end from start to finish.
  72. Playing for Keeps
    Just stay away. It's awful.
  73. Annie
    When a stage musical as beloved as Annie hits the big screen and falls ignominiously on its fat one, you might ask: WTF? For starters, updating the Depression-era tale to NYC 2014 is a really dumb idea. The strain of the shoehorning is evident in every scene.
  74. London Has Fallen
    Make American movies great again. You can start by boycotting this one.
  75. Collateral Beauty
    The unholy mess that director David Frankel and screenwriter Allan Loeb have unleashed for the holidays strands an all-star cast...on a sinking ship that churns the waters from absurd to zombified with frequent stops at pretentious.
  76. Nine Lives
    At 87 torturous, laugh-free minutes, the film could change the most avid cat fancier into a kitty hater.
  77. Lethal Weapon 3
    Lethal Weapon 3 offers mediocrity wielded by experts. It's not a movie, it's a machine.
  78. The Last Song
    The only tragedy you'll face is paying good money to this swill.
  79. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
    One look at the dreadful mess that is Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will turn your whisper into a primal Cage scream: MAKE THIS MOVIE STOP!
  80. Taken 3
    Be warned, sequel fanboys: This thing sucks!
  81. Gods of Egypt
    Some movies are so effing awful they're hilarious. Gods of Egypt falls short of that lofty goal. Not because it isn’t effing awful — it so is — but because it pretends to be in on the joke.
  82. Jack and Jill
    A total bust, a stupefyingly unfunny and shamelessly lazy farce packed with cringe-worthy jokes and overt product placement.
  83. Premonition
    The real horror here is watching Sandra Bullock drop her big Miss Congeniality smile to A-C-T! She does this by not smiling. What happened to the range she showed in "Crash" and "Infamous?"
  84. Atlas Shrugged: Part I
    Who's the idiot responsible for this fiasco? You can't blame the Tea Party, an organization of 9 million that the film's producers are exploiting to get butts into seats. There's an object lesson in objectivism for you.
  85. The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course
    If you have to ask why this sucks, you deserve to waste your money. Why not also check out "Like Mike," "Juwanna Man" and "Hey Arnold! The Movie"?
  86. Armageddon
    How do I hate Armageddon? Let me count the ways.
  87. Fool's Gold
    It's early in the year, but I defy any 2008 comedy to be as stupid, slack and sexless as Fool's Gold. And I'm counting Paris Hilton's appalling "The Hottie and the Nottie," which is marginally better.
  88. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
    Transformers 2 has a shot at the title Worst Movie of the Decade.
  89. Tomorrow Never Dies
    You can see most of the plugs in the trailer. As most fans of the early, better Bond films know, the only life left in the series is in the gadgets....As for humor, Brosnan can deaden a double-entendre faster than he can change outfits.
  90. Inheritance
    One adjective you don’t hear much anymore is “preposterous,” defined as “contrary to nature, reason or common sense.” Yet the word applies perfectly to Inheritance, a blithering botch job of a thriller that begs the question: “Come on, are you f**king kidding me?”
  91. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
    Teenagers, even non-ninjas and non-turtles, have been eating up this cinematic waste product for weeks now. In one way, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a triumph for producer Michael Bay in that it is equally as godawful as his "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and a hit nonetheless.
  92. Vampire Academy
    One idea, mixed with lame jokes, and stretched beyond coherence. Vampire Academy doesn't need a review. It needs a stake in the heart.
  93. Safe Haven
    I hate Safe Haven. It's a terrible thing to do to your Valentine.
  94. Obsessed
    Memo to Beyoncé Knowles: You were so good as Etta James in "Cadillac Records," so why'd you go spoil everything with a rank cheeseball thriller that buries you in clichés and won't even help you dig yourself out?
  95. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
    Transformers: Dark of the Moon - high on any list of the worst blockbusters ever - is a movie bereft of wit, wonder, imagination, and any genuine reason for being. Watching it makes you die a little inside.
  96. Blumhouse's Fantasy Island
    The only genuine, blood-curdling scream incited by this stupefyingly dull time- and money-waster comes at the end, when the notion dawns that Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island is meant to spawn sequels. Stop it now, before it kills again.
  97. Untraceable
    Talk about your pious frauds. I've got a better way to show your disgust for Internet scum: Don't see Untraceable.
  98. Coffee & Kareem
    Helms, a master jester on The Office, seems to have forgotten everything he’s ever learned about comic timing to judge by fiasco. Since Coffee and Kareem also credits Helms as a producer, he has only himself to blame.
  99. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
    Putridly written, directed and acted.
  100. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    With this kind of epic ineptitude -- hell, the flick is set in the year 3000 -- you go for "worst of the millennium."
