  1. The first big-studio movie released in 2009 has a damn fine chance of being the worst. Bride Wars isn't just chick-flick hell for guys, it should numb the skulls of moviegoers of all sexes and ages.
  2. There is no wrong time to flush this turd. The only bright spot comes during the outtakes over the final credits.
  3. The latest reboot of the Fantastic Four — the cinematic equivalent of malware — is worse than worthless.
  4. Droolingly stupid weepie. Useful tip: The movie dies way quicker than she does.
  5. Bad Boys II has everything. Everything loud, dumb, violent, sexist, racist, misogynistic and homophobic that producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay can think of puking up onscreen.
  6. I could puke.
  7. One of the worst movies of this or any year.
  8. Simultaneously full of itself and full of sh--, Brooklyn's Finest is a cop movie so shallow, dumb, derivative and infuriating that it feels like a parody of bad cop movies.
  9. If crap movies carried penalties for inflicting torture on audiences, then Rings would merit a death sentence.
  10. Yes, you read that correctly: zero stars. When talented people create one of the worst movies ever made, you have to ask: What the hell happened?
  11. Derivative and blindingly dull, Quick Change is an occasion for a quick nap.
  12. In a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap. It offers talented people trapped in creative inertia. A microscope and a search party could not discover any trace of chemistry between Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.
  13. When studios plant these stink bombs in theaters, do they really think that audiences won't notice the stench?
  14. A movie this unspeakably awful can make an audience a little crazy. You want to throw things, yell at the actors, beg them to stop. But the film drags on, digging horrible memories into the brain -- like Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello's singing.
  15. Transformers: The Last Knight is all kinds of awful. It's also the worst of the series to date, which is saying something.
  16. How do you rate a cinematic black hole that doesn’t deserve a single star? Do you simply give it five eyerolls? Better question: How does a movie, with all the talent in the world going for it, become a such a blithering botch job?
  17. Allen screws up his directing debut with a script that smothers his wit in a blanket of bland.
  18. If the devil made them all do it, he's one dull bastard.

  19. Awful.
  20. The Devil Inside manages not only to scrape the barrel's bottom but to drill a hole in said bottom and funnel deeper into the scum.
  21. It’s early in the new year, but I doubt that 1996 will produce a film more unthinkingly insidious than Eye for an Eye.
  22. Limp exercise in erotica...Rourke appears comatose, and Otis, though lovely in or out of her skimpy wardrobe, wears the pained expression of a woman who has accidentally stepped into something squishy and rank.
  23. Attention, moviegoers searching for the worst movie of the year: We have a late-breaking winner. Cats slips in right under the radar and easily scores as the bottom of the 2019 barrel — and arguably of the decade. Even Michael Bay’s trash trilogy of soul-destroying Transformers movies can’t hold a candle. What happened?
  24. With this last entry, we have officially hit the bottom of the barrel. Whips, chains, butt plugs and nipple clips are nothing compared to the sheer torture of watching this movie.
  25. Maybe its gargantuan god-awfulness is not a exactly a sin against cinema. But throw away your money on a ticket and you’re in for two hours of certain hell.
  26. The bloodsuckers in this thriller may not have much bite, but here's a movie that can -- it's guaranteed -- drain the life out of an audience in minutes.
  27. Winter's Tale is preposterous twaddle.
  28. When Macbeth said, "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing," he must have had visions about Courtney Solomon's Getaway, a car chase thriller with zero thrills and a stench that all the perfumes of Arabia couldn't erase.
  29. Bad beyond belief.
  30. Somewhere along the line, Shanley let his gentle fable about the fear of love, responsibility and commitment degenerate into crude farce. And he has only himself to blame.
  31. Everything in One for the Money rings cringingly false, from Heigl's absurd Snooki accent to Plum's romance with Joe Morelli, an Italian cop, played by – faith and begorrah – Jason O'Mara. To dismiss Julie Anne Robinson's direction as clueless would be a kindness.
  32. Unwatchable, unbearably unfunny farce.
