Ooh yeah. Granted I’ve only watched the Kill Count vid on it but cripes it looked abysmal!!

My worst of the past decade in terms of mainstream movies is Ready Player One but that’s easy cause the book is loving trash too.

It’s a movie that does more damage to the character than part 6 ever did. I just hate it. It’s so lousy in every single way. There’s a good minute in that movie, but that’s it.

I thought it was surface level character-wise, plodding, and it took two and a half hours to tell a story that took place in, like, three locations. It's only "saved" by a downer ending (which everyone knew was pointless) and a decent death scene performance from Tom Holland.

For sure. It wasn't a surprise. If you've seen the other Avengers and Civil War and liked them you definitely got more of it. For some reason Infinity War just sticks in my craw, it feels really... hollow. Like, I don't like Civil War either, but it at least felt like it was saying something.

I didn't like the first two Avengers movies, but I think I just hate how Josh Whedon writes characters.

Egbert Souse

I've seen 270 feature films made between 2010-2019. My idea of the worst are films I had zero respect or admiration for. Not a single moment I liked. For example, while I think Blackhat and Red Riding Hood were terrible, they were at least a fun sort of terrible since you can at least joke about them. (Not to mention, the latter at least has Gary Oldman hamming it up). These are films I won't even bother looking up years or directors because I honestly don't give a poo poo. Also, most of these were watches while I was married to someone with somewhat mediocre taste, so I'd never pick these on my own to watch.

Pan - gently caress this loving garbage heap. Wow, it sure is hilarious seeing a child get hit in the balls. It sure is fun to see pirates singing a Nirvana song that's absolutely not ripped off a vastly better film. It kept making me ask, who the hell is this meant for? It's too creepy and dark for kids, yet I can't imagine kids finding this fun.

Black or White - Wow, nothing quite like making a film that poses as being anti-racist by having a white savior. I actually don't remember much other than me wanting to throw the disc in the trash if it hadn't meant I had to spend more money on it.

The Hunger Games - This is such a revolting, evil film. I haven't read the novel, but this is such an unpleasant, ugly film. It's like Salo without the layers of irony. Odd thing is that I liked Catching Fire, which actually had something to say about violence.

Earth to Echo - I think my brain wiped out any memories of it, but all I remember is it being loving annoying from start to finish.

Les Miserables - I'll be honest in saying I bailed out 1/3 the way through and I'm not really familiar with the source material, but the third I watched sucked.

Also lovely, but apparently not lovely enough for me to actually hate them: Alice in Wonderland, Beavis, Green Lantern, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Kingsman, The Host (which actually turns into a good movie in the last third).

This is a very good choice. The movie is so bad that, even though I think Anne Hathaway's "I Dreamed a Dream" is very good and the filmmaking works for it, the rest of it is so terrible that it doesn't even matter.

10: American Ultra

The shadow of Punished "Venom" Landis looms large here, but he only wrote the bad script where his self insert realizes he's only a useless, dependent leech because the government made him that way so he wouldn't realize how much of a badass he really is, he didn't direct the dull action scenes or make the decision to cast Walton Goggins, one of the best actors for delivering verbose dialogue, as a barely verbal Joker supersoldier with the mind of a child. Just a waste of everybody's time.

9: Ghostbusters

I hate that this is on here, because everyone involved in this deserves better. The leads have been legitimately funny before, and even Paul Feig isn't entirely irredeemable, as he was a vital part of Freaks And Geeks, one of the funniest and most emotionally honest tv shows I've ever seen. This is a comedy without jokes, where every bad improv session is made even less entertaining by a lifeless editing and shooting approach that makes everything look like one of those video game cutscenes where everybody has to stand in place repeating the same animations that are in every other cutscene because they can't make the character models believably touch each other. That lack of energy extends to the godawful action scenes, which mix the standard "just make the ending a giant evil vortex" structure the MCU has turned every blockbuster into with a trick I first saw in Ang Lee's Life Of Pi where all the effects slop over the aspect ratio matte and it just looks like poo poo.

8: Cop Out

I think enough has been said here.

7: Avengers

There are probably worse Marvel movies that came after this, but this is what they all spawned from. All the sub-ABC prime time cinematography, all the glib detachment from any sense of consequence, all the awful costuming, all of it descends from Punished "Venom" Whedon and this toy ad of a feature film.

6: Alice In Wonderland

What makes this so bad is not the half baked attempt to rework the Alice story into some sort of LOTR knockoff or the glut of live-action-with-copious CGI Disney reboots it led to or even Punished "Venom" Depp's awful dance, it's that the color palette is best described as "moldy eggplant".

5: Baby Driver

At some time during the runtime of this movie, I realized Jamie Foxx was playing a DVD box cover Edgar Wright thought was cool in 2004, and then I realized that was every character.

4: The Lego Movie

Seldom have I seen a more cloying and exhausting exercise in brand engagement.

3: Hillary's America

Politically vile and plainly incompetent.

2: The Disaster Artist

The Room, for every flaw in its production, is a guy with something to say saying it as well as it can. That something is "women are irrational demons", but that's more than The Disaster Artist has. What this has to say is "I, Punished "Venom" Franco, have a half decent Tommy Wiseau impression, and rather than putting together a five minute Funny Or Die skit based on that, I had the idea to have all my famous friends reenact scenes from the production of a movie we all think is funny." The Disaster Artist does not seriously engage with the question of who Tommy Wiseau is, or with anything The Room tries to say, and the closest it comes is its facile attempts to explore the friendship between Sestero and Wiseau.

1: Most Likely To Murder

This one has a story to it. So I was pitched on this by my mom, and the bit that got me to watch it was "Billy Eichner's in it." He's in literally one scene, and the rest is a no budget neo-noir riff with the least charming, least interesting, least funny lead I've ever had the displeasure of watching, and the story hinges on a condiment-themed sex tape and a man helping his elderly mother commit suicide. That should get across the general lack of tone.

Honorable mentions: Birdemic, Fateful Findings, Book Of Henry, and Collateral Beauty are all too funny to be on the list, and if I was including documentaries I'd put in The People Vs George Lucas and Room 237.

Death Note (2017)
Honestly, an American take on Death Note might have some merit in 2017 exploring what happens when a privileged but sheltered man gets ahold of more power than he knows how to be responsible with, but it could not decide whether it wanted to ape the manga or do its own thing and it was not good at either.

It's just straight up a movie for nazis. In the original Puppet Master series, Andre Toulon created his puppets to fight nazis, and fled to American and killed himself so the nazis couldn't get their hands on his puppet secrets. The Littlest Reich is a reboot that turns Andre Toulon into a nazi serial killer who fled to America so he could continue killing, and all his puppets are programmed to kill minorities. The movie is just a series of extremely gruesome murders of black people, gay people, drug users,Jews, people in a mixed race relationship, women who won't gently caress you, women who gently caress too much, etc. All done in a way that is very clearly for the audience's enjoyment.

And one of the classic Puppet Master puppets is turned into a frog puppet. Because the movie isn't just for nazis, it's specifically for 4chan nazis.

Argo deserves special condemnation as the worst Best Picture Oscar winner of the decade. As a movie, it's competently made but nothing special. Historically illiterate and whitewashing a bunch of things, but that’s normal for big-budget dramas. As a piece of film history, though, it’s a good example of how much Hollywood loves itself and America despite mountains of evidence that both are actually very bad. It managed to win when put up against Beasts of the Southern Wild, Life of Pi, and Django Unchained, and all it had to do was flatter the film industry as geniuses and humanitarians and heroes, and cheaply invoke patriotism during crisis.

Worse than all that, Argo is a literal psyop that managed to partially rehabilitate the CIA through its release exactly a month after that agency’s worst disaster in recent history (yeah, Benghazi!). The critical adoration seems highly suspect in hindsight, but unsurprising even if the CIA wasn’t paying everyone off. That whole era of state power intersecting with official culture is a garbage pit that should be filled in and forgotten.

In no real order

Foodfight
Even if this movie wasn't so ugly, badly acted, badly written and just generally unpleasant to watch, just the very concept of this movie would get it on this list. This is basically one of those bad Christian films but Jesus is replaced with capitalism. I might not ever see a worse film

The Last Airbender
Just weirdly bad. I know Shyamalan's work has slipped and this one in the worst part of his career but even for him at his worst its just baffling. The writing is some of the worst I've ever seen, the direction is full of odd choices and just terribly done scenes and just this is the only film of his where none of his talent shines through. I think I dislike Lady in the Water more than this but it at least has some heart put into it.

Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes
I believe this is the third in Asylum's Paranormal Entity series and by far the worst. I don't remember much about it anymore other than it sexualized the poo poo out of the possessed girl and not like in a way where she's trying seduce people or anything but more that when she's flailing around possessed sometimes she gets naked and the other characters react in kind of a screwball sex comedy way. I have seen a lot of bad found footage and this is the worst one I've found.

Branded
Branded is like the opposite movie of Foodfight. Foodfight was very clear in it's lovely messaging while Branded has a decent message but also just rambled incoherently about it. Branded very much wants to be an anti-advertising movie but it somehow fucks it up. It shouldn't be hard to come up with ways ads are terrible but the movie attributes things to them that just aren't there while never mentioning the actual bad poo poo ads do. It's just a mess.

Dream House
Shutter Island if Shutter Island was written by an idiot.

Episode 50
Did someone say Christian found footage horror movie? This was my worst found footage movie until I saw Anneliese. Nothing I even remember anymore, just that it was as bad as you'd expect.

Computer Chess
Some people like this movie but this was just nails on a chalkboard for it's entire running length for me. The main thing was as a comedy I found it painfully unfunny and often downright hard to sit through as the awkwardness played out. I rarely get angry at a movie just because of how uch I dislike just sitting through it but that was the case here.

Silent Hill Revelation
Probably the worst video game movie I've ever seen, which is saying a ton.While the first was a labor of love that didn't entirely work, this one is just an empty nothing of the movie that is bad as an adaptation and worse as a movie.

The Hangover Part 2
Just an ugly, mean film that revels in it's laziness. While I wouldn't call this a worse movie than Foodfight, Hangover 2 is still the more vile movie.

Infinity War
Im not putting this here to troll, I really hate this movie. While the direction i competent, the action is fine and the actors are charming as only, this is still the movie that was just too much for me. For me it's a movie that expected me to see every MCU film, gave me hours of death that I felt nothing over because I knew it was going to be mostly undone and an ending that said "okay, now to finish you're going to have to see three more movies". It was just a slog that made me feel nothing but contempt for Disney and overall It just wasn't fun and if you take away the fun from the MCU movies, you got nothing else.

I like to think I’ve mostly been ok at avoiding trash but here are my lowest-rated movies from the decade on criticker that aren’t like Neil Breen movies or some such thing

10. The Internship
I had to check which this was but it’s like Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn doing a google internship with Youths and it’s just such an embarrassing and bland flick that’s basically an advert for google which has aged horribly and it’s not exactly like people were still falling for “don’t be evil” in 2013

09. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
One of my main memories of this is turning to my housemate at the time during a Peter/Gwen drama scene and saying “this is like one tree hill: the movie” and then about 30 seconds later there was a shot of Peter in silhouette with an orange sunset exactly like the one tree hill opening sequence

08. Dark Phoenix
This movie is so boring and inane and such a huge waste of money and almost every piece of dialogue is a boring stock phrase. The climactic exchange is literally “Your feelings make you weak!” “No.....my feelings make me strong.” gently caress Simon Kinberg and gently caress this movie

07. Human Centipede II
It’s like the world’s stupidest person tried to make the new Eraserhead. Maybe it’s actually an intentional comedy but it really didn’t feel like it at the time.

06. Suicide Squad
I don’t know I’ll ever be able to get the taste of this movie out of my mouth. Just total trash for teenage idiots. “Have you heard of the pyrokinetic homeboy?” is one of the worst lines I’ve ever heard.

05. Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie
I’m actually a big Tim and Eric fan but I watched this around the time it came out and it fell completely flat for me. Mostly it bored me and then the puerile/grossout stuff was awful, it felt like someone failing miserably at trying to cooy the T+E style. Everything they’ve done since has been good again though so idk what even happened here

04. Man of Steel
Look I don’t want to start a whole thing in here but given how many posts are about Marvel being awful I feel like I’m allowed to stare that I honestly think this is the worst superhero film of the decade and maybe ever. The loving Avatar dragon monster poo poo in the beginning turned me off immediately, Russell Crowe never ever fucks off even though he’s meant to be dead, Kevin Costner’s Dad Kent is a piece of poo poo, the entire interpretation of the character is a piece of poo poo, that flying scene is cool tbh, the pseudoscience “he has uhhhh every kryptonian citizen inside him because uhhhhh” is far worse to me than infinite energy sky lasers or whatever and is a piece of poo poo, Snyder is an awful director in every way, just a huge incompetent loving moron, oops I forgot how mad this movie makes me

03. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
A gigantic waste of time and a good cast that squanders everything enjoyable about the first one with flat direction and original Frank Miller stories that are just as awful as you would expect from something he’s written this side of the year 2000.

02. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
I only watched this because of the Transformers thread in here and it was definitely hilarious to watch it with the realisation that Bay is so incompetent he accidentally ended up making Megatron the most sympathetic character and Optimus a warmongering fascist and ended LaBeouf’s character’s arc with him killing someone for no reason, but that doesn’t stop it from being trash of the highest level. And this isn’t even the worst film in this franchise. Man are we done with these yet? I hope so

01. The Cobbler
So my worst one ended up being a Sandler film, but this isn’t one of those Happy Madison vacation excuse joints. It’s a movie co-written and directed by Tom McCarthy of Spotlight fame, and came out in the same year as Spotlight, yet it’s so fascinatingly bad and misguided in every way. Like multiple people read “the protagonist puts on his dad’s shoes so he looks like his dead dad and then gives his mom one last night of romance” and were like yeah sure let’s do that and it’s meant to be heartwarming and not gross. Just utterly bizarre. There’s racism and almost-rape and transphobia and then it ends with a whole thing about how all cobblers are part of a secret society who are at war with dry cleaners and also a twist that earlier in the movie my friend and I were like “what would be the dumbest twist possible” and THAT EXACT THING HAPPENED. and then a year later, this dude won best picture. just an absolutely baffling and stupendously bad movie in every way.

Infinity War and Endgame are hardly the nadir of the MCU when Iron Man 2 and Thor The Dark World just meander around for hours and hours.

Man of Steel was terrible. They had something that might have been interesting with setting up Superman as someone who wasn't born into a set life role but ruined it with DC's obsession with dark story telling. Hey, Kevin Costner, there's a tornado coming and there's a dog stuck in a truck.

As long as everyone is going ham on super hero movies, I want to mention Spider-Man: Far From Home as holding special disgust in my heart entirely for the drone strike scene. I cannot stress how insanely out of place it is for a character like Spider-Man to just accidentally order a drone strike on the school bully and the whole scene is obviously supposed to be comedic instead of a horrifying commentary on the world we live in. And this is from a franchise (the MCU) that is generally praised for "getting the characters right".

More than one movie can be bad, friend.

Also, Fantastic Four isn't necessarily on their level. You can at least see some of what Josh Trank was going for before it was completely messed with.

I mean, holy hell, this scene is just so outright stupid on its own. It's also incredibly sexist in that every "magician" has their own gimmick, except the woman. She's the Sexy Magician Girl. That's it. That's her whole character.

Also I had to look but The Lovely Bones, a dire, disgustingly empty movie about a raped and murdered girl who turns into a ghost and her Mark Wahlberg dad tries to solve the murder, came out in 2009, taking it just out of eligibility. It ends with the child rapist and killer falling and dying accidentally.

I don't normally go out of my way to watch things I know I'll hate these days, so my list is pretty scant, but here's a few in no particular order:

Terrifier (2016) - I've had this recommended to me a whole lot and I just don't get it. Art the Clown's gimmick is kinda neat, but the rest of this tries way too hard to make you think it's hardcore. It's exhausting.

Foodfight (2012) - The sweatiest movie I've seen all decade

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) - The fact that a movie with this scene in it somehow won Best Editing proves that the Oscars are useless.

Justice League (2017) - I mean, BvS and Suicide Squad are probably worse, but kind of surprised this didn't get mentioned yet. Maybe the elusive Snyder Cut somehow makes this a good movie, I can't say. But what got released in theaters is absolutely miserable. I don't like the awkward "superhero jokes" in Marvel movies, but these clash with the tone so much. I do not like Whedon's Avenger movies, but this is probably the more deserving Whedon film to ridicule. At least BvS had a specific intention in mind, even if I didn't care for it.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) - Everyone keeps bringing up the Platinum Dunes thing, but even by those standards, this is one of the most miserable films I've watched all decade. It botches every attempt at trying to do fan service. Trying to make Freddy do the quips and stuff while also making him a child molester in canon just feels incredibly gross and misguided.

Now You See Me 2 makes the list for one extremely obvious reason, on top of it being a bad movie.
