Worst Movies of '09? - Blu-ray Forum

EricJ · 11-01-2009, 03:28 PM

We've had enough Best-Of threads going early (even the ones that just repeat RottenTomatoes percentages, which cause the unexplained anomaly of "Cloudy/Meatballs" showing up on the lists

), thought it might be early to blue-sky suggestions for what would show up on agreed-upon consenses for year-end 10 Worst lists:
(Note the emphasis, for Worst titles that conventional wisdom can unite behind, as opposed to knee-jerk slacker pimply-hyperboles of "Vampire's Assistant, worst movie in the history of recorded civilization since Hittite cuniform tablets, d00d!")

To start off with, and having just recently rented it this past week, I just have to say:
There are some movies so bad, they not only depress critics but visibly traumatize them. (Siskel & Ebert, for example, both claimed they were once ready to retire from criticism for good after the quasi-incestuous 80's hijinx of Tony Danza's "She's Out of Control")...
Even this, however, PALES in comparison to the sheer number of fatalist, handwringing "Decline of modern civilization" media columns that were written immediately after "Transformers 2: ROTF" had a big opening weekend.
No, I'm not saying it out of summer-CGI hating--I liked the first movie, and what passes for Michael Bay "comedy-relief" in the second one will make even the most casual first-movie fans put paper bags over their heads like Sylvester Jr. in the Warner Bros. cartoons....Oh, the shame of it.

(Again, I'm only trying to prime the pump for early suggestions, as it's only just now November...
And Disney's "Old Dogs" hasn't yet opened for Thanksgiving rush, featuring not only the "Daddy Day Camp" remake, but Seth Green's one-man tribute to Chris Kataan.

That was one long winded question.

Did Push come out in '09? If so, that's the worst one i saw, but then again, i didn't have high expectations. I'm sure there are ones that are worse, but i don't generally go see movies i think will be bad.

Call me crazy.
District 9 is probably the worst of the critically praised movies i saw this year.

Star Trek 2009. The only thing this turkey had in common with Star Trek was the name. I could list 100 problems with this film but why bother....the utlimate insult was the whole new timeline that didnt need to even happen in the first place.

Red Hood · 11-01-2009, 04:00 PM

Public Enemies, everything about it.

Lord_Stewie · 11-01-2009, 04:02 PM

'09 isn't over yet, so I can't really decide what is the worst movie by far. I guess I will come back to this thread by the end of the year and give my opinion.

By far, I would have to say Push falls in that category. But the worst may be just around the corner.

charlieray1 · 11-01-2009, 04:08 PM

I nominate nearly every big Summer movie! But the winner is . . . Transformers ROTF!

A better abbreviation would be ROTFL

iamsparticus9 · 11-01-2009, 04:10 PM

terminator was horrible in my opinion. no wonder skynet lost the war it's a idiot!

carter155523 · 11-01-2009, 04:13 PM

I thought Surrogates was pretty bad!

KilloWertz · 11-01-2009, 04:18 PM

Crank 2 in my opinion. Like shadblz said though, '09 isn't over yet.

Fighter · 11-01-2009, 04:21 PM

The Last House on the Left

GGX · 11-01-2009, 04:27 PM

The G.I. Joe movie. Worst special effects I've seen in a long time. Which should of been its one saving grace.

I agree. It was so bad...it made the first one look good!

+1. My good friends told me to avoid TF: ROTF, so I haven't seen that. If I had, I'm fairly sure it'd get my vote instead.

PS3+HDDVD OWNER · 11-01-2009, 04:51 PM

Crank 2

Worst movie i've ever watched, hands down.

JUDGEMENT 4400 · 11-01-2009, 04:57 PM

Transformers: ROTF

Liked the first one, but not this. What a disappointment, this could have been the most epic summer blockbuster this year

silversnake · 11-01-2009, 05:37 PM

Terminator was pretty bad.

I haven't seen Transformers 2 based on people's comments about it.

GLaDOS · 11-01-2009, 05:51 PM

X-Men Origins: Wolverine ripped me off pretty bad. That was hands down a waste of 90 minutes of my life.

Foggy · 11-01-2009, 05:55 PM

public enemies was a dissapointment, but wasn't the worst movie of the year
wolverine was really bad, but a little entertaing
Ice age 3 was quite terrible due to laziness, but it was still more fun than number 2
knowing was quite terrible, dumb and dozy, but the disasters were cgi masterpieces
terminator couldn't hold anything to its predecessors, but the action in that movie was badass
transformers 2 was as thick as a plank of wood, but it still was highly enjoyable
I think the only film I could place as worst is surrogates, it was very dull, and nonsensical.

moothemagiccow · 11-01-2009, 06:00 PM

Transformers 2. Glad I waited for it to come out on video.
Although I did hate Transformers 1, too. I'm not even sure why I watched it.
