The Best, Worst, and Most Disappointing Movies of the Year

[Mr. Snackpants]

Idea from the VG Section. So what were your favorite movies? Movies you thought sucked? Movies that you had high hopes for but ended up a disappointment?

Favorite Movies:
Transformers- Yeah it was basically explosions. More of a focus on humans, but I like Shia and Megan Fox is ****in’ hot so I was fine with it.
300- Great visuals. Amazing in IMAX. Doesn’t hold up for multiple viewings sadly.
Grindhouse- Best theater experience ever. Over the top action and violence. Fake Trailers. Just Awesome.
Hot Fuzz- Saw it on DVD after my roommates kept bugging me to watch it. I was surprised, it was a funny movie.
The Bourne Ultimatum- Just as good as the rest. Fitting end to possibly my favorite trilogy ever.
Superbad- Funny, realistic look into high school life. The cops and Fogal really made the movie.
Knocked up- I don’t know…it was just funny.
I Am Legend- Never read the book. Thought it was a good movie. Will Smith is great.

…other movies I thought were ok….
Blades of Glory- I love Will Ferrell but this one wasn’t anything great. John Heder sucks.
TMNT- If I wasn’t such a TMNT fan this would be in the “garbage” section.
Shooter- Average action flick.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry- Typical Sandler movie. Rolled my eyes when I saw the previews. Caught it on DVD because I like Sandler and Kevin James is a funny guy. It was surprisingly good. And Jessica Biel….my god!
The Simpsons Movie- Not a big fan of the show…wasn’t half bad.
Smokin’ Aces- Great action and violence.

Disappointing:
Spiderman 3- Too much stuffed into one movie.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At Worlds End- I was bored. Loved the first.
Harry Potter and the Oder of the Phoenix- They’re all disappointing.

Garbage:
Reno 911! Miami- I hate that show now.
Ghost Rider- No.
Wild Hogs- **** no.
Delta Farce- ****in’ Hell No.
Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer- The first was terrible. This one was worse. What’s that say?
Resident Evil: Extinction- Cheap and cheesy.
Good Luck Chuck- Jessica Alba and hot topless babes couldn’t even save this Dane Cook disaster.
Hitman- So. Bad.

Movies I missed and want to see:
Meet the Robinsons- Looks like a neat animated movie. Heard good things.
Ratatouille- ^^^
Mr. Brooks- Heard it’s decent by quite a few people.
Rush Hour 3- Sue me. I liked the first 2. I like Jackie Chan and I may be the only person in the world who can still laugh at Chris Tucker.
Shoot ‘em Up- I really like Clive Owen and I like people shooting things.
3:10 to Yuma- I heard it was badass.
No Country for Old Men- ^^^
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets- Loved the first one for some odd reason. Watched it too many times to count on HBO.
Charlie Wilson’s War- Looks funny.
Wald Hard: The Dewey Cox Story- ^^^
American Gangster- My roomates voted to see Hitman instead. So I'll have to catch it on DVD. I hate them.

[Hannah]

Zodiac was the best-made film of the year, hands down.
Ratatouille was as entertaining for kids as it was for adults, a hard feat to accomplish.
Superbad was probably the funniest movie this year, and Knocked Up was a close second.
Hairspray was pure gold, I haven't enjoyed a musical so much in a very long time.
28 Weeks Later was one of my favorites- I love zombies more than anything. (I know, they aren't actual zombies. Go to Hell.)
Transformers was awesome! F*ck you, 80s fanboys, it was great.
Blades of Glory was hilarious.
Juno looks like it's going to rule, I can't wait to see it. Sweeney Todd also looks excellent. Grindhouse too!
The Simpsons movie was better than the Simpsons have been for a long time- but it doesn't do well as a movie in general.
Spider-man 3 was terrible, Harry Potter was no good but neither are any of the others.

[Brodie]

Sucked:

Simpsons- Bad. Just bad. I've never been so angry because of a movie.
AVP2- Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, how could it be worse than the first?


These are the only ones that jump out right away

[Mecha Cow]

Hmm, I've seen a sh*tload of movies this year so most of them haven't really stuck with me. Let's see.

Really enjoyed 300 and Transformers. Dumb, overrated, what-f*cking-ever. They were fun, awesome movies that I enjoyed every second of, and while I wouldn't call Transformers a 'good' movie, I will say 300 is one.

TMNT wasn't really anything special, but as a fan I liked it.

Pleasantly surprised with Live Free or Die Hard. I expected it to suck hard (...no pun intended) but it turned out to be the best of the Die Hard sequels.

Pirates of the Et Cetera...Whatever. I don't get the hype for this series. It wasn't bad at all (except for it being far too f*cking long) but I wasn't impressed by it.

Dissappointed with Zodiac and American Gangster; I did not find either of them very interesting.

Spider-Man 3 was the best comedy of the year.

Really, really hated Beowulf, but I am biased.

That's all that comes to mind at the moment.

[Cure]

My favorites were Bourne, Transformers, Ratatouille, Die Hard, Simpsons, 3:10 to Yuma, Sweeney Todd, Superbad, Shoot 'Em up, Enchanted, The Mist and...that's all I can think of for now.

The only movie I can think of that disappointed me right now is Golden Compass. That movie was a whole lotta nothin'.

I think that about covers it. Didn't feel like going into more detail now, might do so later.

[raphael_is_cool]

Right now, two stand out as really bad. One of them disappointing, because of the director; but the other I never really had high hopes for.

Zodiac - A David Fincher film. But an absolute snoozefest and the 'tension' or mystery was so forced and unconvincing I felt insulted. And it was so damn long.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 - absolute ****ing crap.

[Fugitoid Jones]

Best:
Transformers- I haven't had that much fun at the movies in a long time.

Honorable mentions:
300
Live Free or Die Hard
I Am Legend
TMNT
Ratatoille
Hot Fuzz
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Disappointments
Spider-Man 3- I still liked it, but not nearly as much as the other two installments. Too much crammed into 2+ hours.
Beowulf- Again, I kinda liked it, but I was hoping it was going to be better.

Worst
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End- Didn't know when this movie was going to "End" (sorry for the bad pun). Too long and too bloated.
Good Luck Chuck- Unfortunetly I was on a date and got dragged to this. F'n horrible.
The Heartbreak Kid- I would put this with the disappointments, but it was so bad it went beyond disappointing.

Unhonorable Mentions:
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Hannibal Rising

Misc.
The Simpsons Movie- I wasn't crazy about it, I wasn't looking forward to it so I wasn't disappointed, and it wasn't bad. Meh.
Ghost Rider- I kinda liked it at first, but then I bought the DVD and watched it again, the more I see it, the less I like it.

[Drtooth]

Here's a list of the all topo few movies I've seen this year:

TMNT
The Simpsons
Ratatoullie
Shrek 3
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Bee Movie

I swear I saw another too. I didn't really see too many movies, and I wanted to See Pirates 3, Spiderman 3, and Transformers, but diddna....

The Worst movies of the year by association:

Underdog- So bad, that even the original creator of Underdog said it was terrible. But then again, they completely deviated from his original idea, turning it into "Air Bud 308: This time he's a superhero, but for the sake of stealing a franchise to try to get people to actually see it, let's just plop down names from an established product." But then again, the Mezco action figures based on the actual cartoon were great. Especially Riff Raff.

Good Luck Chuck- What's Dane Cook's appeal? What is it? Tell me?

License to Wed- I love Robin Williams. I really do. But why oh why has his career degradated into such lousy, losuy films. And this is coming from someone that kinda liked Patch Addams. Dude should go back to stand up.

I would say Chipmunks, butI've heard it actually is pretty good, if nothing special. So I'll give that a shot next week.

But out of the ones I've seen, the only real one I'd even call a disappointment was Shrek 3. And even then, I found some of it enjoyable. Paled in comparison to Shrek 2.

Bee Movie was really quite fun, actually. Even though, it seemed to be nothing too much more than a cartoon version of Seinfeld's stand up schtick. (Examples- "What's the deal with Toe rings? it's like wearing a hat on your knee?" "What's the deal with Honey coming in bear shaped Jars, dispite the fact the bear is the bee's natural enemy?) I will say, it helped me to appreciate those stinging little pests a little more. Still not a fan.

But pretty depressing year for some movies. I mean, the best ones were based on TV shows- Aqua Teen, Simpsons... I would say TMNT, but technically it's a free floating sequal to a movie based on a comic book. But it is close enough to the 2k3 series.

My favorite is Ratatoullie. There are multiple reasons, but I'll give 3 of them:

1) NO poop or fart jokes. None! In a kid's movie. It may not sound like much, but in this day and age, it's like finding Bigfoot partying down with Nessie and Elvis.

2) Patton Oswalt finally gets a starring role in something. Too long has he had to play second fiddle to others. I love King of Queens and all, but the best moments were between him and Jerry Stiller.

3) Just because they made fun of 2 things: People that cash in off someone else's legacy after their death (funny that Disney released it, then...hah hah), and celebrity chef sell outs the license their likeness to horrible, horrible food products. Emeril... Wolfgang? Did you see that?

The movies I wanted to see but missed:

Transformers
Pirates 3
Spidey 3
I would say I'd give this Fantastic 4 a chance
Walk Hard (I might see that one soon)

[Cascadia]

Good (not any particular order)

TMNT
Transformers
Ratatouille
Harry Potter

Middle of the road
Pirates 3

Worst
Meet the Robinsons

Most Disappointing
Spider-Man 3
The Simpsons (slow developing plot)

>>I did not get a chance to watch very many movies this year<<

[Cure]

The Worst movies of the year by association:

What do you mean by association? Like you haven't seen them?

[jeff the cheff]

I think the best movie of this year that I saw was Grindhouse. It was a fun experience, like nothing else I've ever seen, and had a perfect mix of action and dark comedy. Death Proof didn't really hold up to multiple viewings, but Planet Terror is still awesome and overall I think this was the best movie I've seen in theatres.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Yeah, because we wouldn't want to have any reference to human waste in a movie, because that would be a major no-no!. We ain't like them dirty apes you know!

[That Matt Guy]

The best movies of the year for me were Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale, second would be 300, and both features from Grindhouse.

I absolutely HATED Transformers! Spider-Man 3 was just a terrible mess.

Other stuff like Ghost Rider, Live Free or Die Hard, Smokin' Aces, and some other stuff was good but not my favourite.

EDIT: Also forgot Letters from Iwo Jima came out this year. By far one of the best WWII movies you will see from the Japanese point of view.

i totally agree with you. These movies, which you mention in the favourite movies (have not seen all of them but most of them) section, are really great. Especially transformers, oh my god, i really love that movie. But it kind of surprised me that you did not have the tmnt movie under that section to, but that is my opinion.

I saw the fantastic four with a friend but got really disappointed, hated it from the start. Jessica Alba where good looking but that's it.

[The Terror of Death]

Best: No Country For Old Men, Superbad, Ratatouille, The Mist, and Disturbia,

Worst: The Invisible, The Condemned, Pirates 3, Bee Movie, Beowulf

Most Dissapointing: Harry Potter 5, The Bourne Ultimatum,

[Warhorse]

Faves:
Transformers, it's going to be a long wait for the sequel.
TMNT
Bourne Ultimatum
3:10 to Yuma
We Own the Night
Wild Hogs
Die Hard 4 (after the unrated cut was released.)
Disturbia

Not too bad, held my interest, but not buy worthy for me:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
American Gangster
National Treasure: Book of Secrets (I still may or maynot get this one)
Ghostrider

Dissappointing and sucked!
Spider-Man 3
POTC
Shrek the Third
Zodiac

[Ra]

I think I'm one of the few people that liked "At World's End". It wasn't the best thing in the world, and the ending wanted to make me throw a fit, but I liked it otherwise. Personally I think if "Dead Man's Chest" put some of the start of "World's End" into it, everyone wouldn't be so upset with both movies.

Surprisingly I didn't get to see many movies this year. Here's what I've seen, though:

Liked:
- TMNT
- Rataouille
- Pirates 3: At World's End
- The Simpsons Movie (Not the best, but it entertained me for an hour or so)

Disliked:
- Shrek the Third
- Harry Potter 5
- The Golden Compass
- Spiderman 3 (Although I loved Venom. Shame we didn't see more of him in the movie...)

[Roseangelo]

I liked "At World's End," too. Much more so than "Dead Man's Chest."

Also liked Transformers and, naturally, TMNT.

I really, really disliked both Spider-man 3 and Harry Potter 5.

[Drtooth]

Yeah, because we wouldn't want to have any reference to human waste in a movie, because that would be a major no-no!. We ain't like them dirty apes you know!

Well, my point is that every single Children's movie (cough cough SHREK) has nothing but random strings of 3rd grade gutter humor in them. it's way too easy to come up with a toilet joke. It's become just lazyness at this point.

When in doubt, poop joke.


What do you mean by association? Like you haven't seen them?

Considering the fact I didn't see all the films I wanted to this year, there's no way I'd go to see something I don't want to. Worst by trailer is more like it, actually.

Besides... Dane Cook? Am I the only one that thinks he's unfunny? But then again, I like a lot of classic comedians like George Burns and stuff...

[ToTheNines]

Besides... Dane Cook? Am I the only one that thinks he's unfunny? But then again, I like a lot of classic comedians like George Burns and stuff...

Most of his comedy is good, but I do agree with you on his movies... they're BAD.

[Peanut]

I actually liked a bunch of movies this year, including the popular to hate ones like Spider-Man 3, PotC 3 and Transformers, but I didn't really see anything I out and out hated, aside from OotP. I loved Grindhouse, Hot Fuzz, and The Bourne Ultimatum a lot.

I do have one huge disappointment, though...and that was TMNT. What a sh*t story. One cool scene doesn't make up for the rest of the crap in it. Any of the people here who try and honestly say that TMNT should have been animated movie of the year are kidding themselves, especially up against something as good as Ratatouille.

[Cure]

I think I'm one of the few people that liked "At World's End". QUOTE]

No, I liked that movie, too, along with Spider-Man 3.

...

So yeah, you're calling movies you haven't seen terrible. God, people like you suck. Watch the f*cking movie first. If you didn't wanna see it, fine, but don't call it bad by "association".

[Drtooth]

So yeah, you're calling movies you haven't seen terrible. God, people like you suck. Watch the f*cking movie first. If you didn't wanna see it, fine, but don't call it bad by "association".

Wow... unwavering maturity. Why the hell should I piss away 10 bucks on a horrendous piece of crap that looks like someone took a dump on celluloid just to have the right to say it's a terrible movie? I mean, there is NOTHING to like about any of the movies I listed. I'm sick of seeing untalented movie making d-bags take classic cartoons and "reimagine" them till all the satire and originality of the concept, just so some retarded 5 year old who has never heard of the cartoon before can see idiotic capering of talking animals. I sure as hell don't want to waste money, especially when it's scarce, to see a piece of incomprehensible garbage. And I think I SHOULD have the right to say that movies are bad without having to waste money trying to sit through them.

I can tell right away when I like a movie or not. And I think I have a solid list of movies I heard were trash, got the fact that they were trash from the trailer (which has the best gags in it, and when they aren't funny, you can tell what's going to happen), and just over all had no appeal to anyone anywhere. 'Kay?

It's not like I'm just saying popular films I didn't see were terrible for the sake of annoying fans of the franchise. I'm saying that films with no appeal, that bombed and were universally unliked are bad.

BTW, I remember Paul Dini writing a scathing blog or interview or something about the Underdog movie. When I find it, I'll post it here. It's pretty much what 99% of everyone was thinking.

[Mecha Cow]

There's a good number of trailers that don't give a good indication of what the actual movie is like. Of course there are plenty of cases where you can make a pretty fair assumption on whether or not the movie sucks, but you can't seriously justify the 'bad by association' argument.

Also, who gives a f*ck about Underdog or the Chipmunks?

[Mr. Snackpants]

Is it ok to use the "bad by association" argument for Delta Farce, starring Larry the Cable Guy? Because I admit I've never seen the movie but said it was garbage. There has gotta be some exceptions and this has to be one of them :D

[Jester]

Am I alone in my absolute loathing of Superbad? I thought the title spoke for itself.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Am I alone in my absolute loathing of Superbad? I thought the title spoke for itself.

Might be. I thought it was hilarious. Johan is ok, I really like Micheal Cera, the guy who played Fogal was great, and then Seth Rogen and Bill Hader made great cops. So I really, really liked the cast. I was really surprised because when I saw the trailer at Transformers it looked liked another stupid teen movie.

[Jester]

I'll be the first to admit, I don't much care for Jonah Hill. That combined with the excesive language and penis related humor made me wonder why I rented this movie.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I see where you're coming from, they really coulda cut the number of f-bombs in half. I'd be with you on penis humor, but all those drawings were hilarious.

And yeah, Johan Hill can be annoying.

[ToTheNines]

I actually liked a bunch of movies this year, including the popular to hate ones like Spider-Man 3, PotC 3 and Transformers, but I didn't really see anything I out and out hated, aside from OotP. I loved Grindhouse, Hot Fuzz, and The Bourne Ultimatum a lot.

Any of the people here who try and honestly say that TMNT should have been animated movie of the year are kidding themselves, especially up against something as good as Ratatouille.

Oh hush. If you could stomach the dancing scenes and other bull s**t from Spider-man 3... TMNT should have been a master piece to you.

[Extreme_Enigma]

TMNT-Wicked Ausome!

Under Dog-So sucked!(I had to watch it with my little sister.)


Transformers-Great

Spider-Man 3-Not so good to me.

300-Really Ausome

Rush Hour 3-MY FAVorITE!!!!!!!!!!!! REAL FUNNY!!!:)

[Drtooth]

The biggest disappointment is that Fox lacked the testicular fortitude to release Bender's Big Score theatrically. It was just way too good to be a DTV product.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Besides... Dane Cook? Am I the only one that thinks he's unfunny? But then again, I like a lot of classic comedians like George Burns and stuff...

I have a hard time finding just about any current comedians funny, except for maybe Dave Chappelle.

[cqb101]

I love Dane Cook's stand-up, don't care for his movies.

[Fugitoid Jones]

I have a hard time finding just about any current comedians funny, except for maybe Dave Chappelle.

Seconded, about current comedians not being funny, and Dave Chappelle being funny. I just feel that if I've seen one current comedian, I've seen them all. I just feel that every comic I see complains about the same things and tells the same stupid stories about their wives/families, without making them different or adding anything original. I just find older comedians funnier like Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor and Billy Connelly. Maybe it's just my taste in humor. I've also started to really get into the Dave Chappelle Show. Great stuff.

[cqb101]

I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like Dave Chapelle or find him that funny.

[Peanut]

Oh hush. If you could stomach the dancing scenes and other bull s**t from Spider-man 3... TMNT should have been a master piece to you.

Uh...no? At least it was funny in Spider-Man. And the let-down after all these years of waiting for a new TMNT movie, and being delivered the POS story that we got was more than enough to kill it for me.

[ToTheNines]

Uh...no? At least it was funny in Spider-Man. And the let-down after all these years of waiting for a new TMNT movie, and being delivered the POS story that we got was more than enough to kill it for me.

Well if you thought that was funny, I guess I can't aruge (there was a few other things that I really didn't like about it, but the dances killed me.... I was actually embarassed to be in the theatre while that was going on). But I thought TMNT brought enough nostalgia, action, acting and animation to make up for the lackluster writing.

[raphael_is_cool]

I liked both Spider-Man 3 and TMNT.

Spider-Man 3 was my favourite in the series, simply because it was the most entertaining. I can't say I was disappointed with it because I never really cared for the first two. I found the third funny and silly; not dull and melodramatic.

I guess I went into it not expecting anything serious of affecting and the fact that none of it dragged, as opposed to every film over two hours nowadays, is a point in its favour.


As for TMNT. Sure, it wasn't perfect but beneath the 'OMG NOT SHREDDER?' plot you could tell Munroe had put a lot of care and attention into it. It looked great as well.

The other gripe is the editing choices. The opening bit explaining the historical background could've been a lot shorter or ditched altogether. Basic rule of screenwriting: don't tell your audience the same information twice. This film does that. I think the mystery would've made things a little more interesting. For an adult viewer anyway... Plus, the film wouldn't have suffered with the stuff that was cut out and would've benefitted from the full 'ninja tag' scene.

Just my two cents.

[Drtooth]

I just broke down this weekend and saw the Chipmunks. And I have to admit, I was surprised it was as good as it was. Not a great film, but quite enjoyable. The true star, however, is David Cross. I mean, his false, almost evil sincerity was just so over the top saccerine, I just wanted to reach into the movie screen and punch him. Seriously, that was very good acting on his part.

I enjoyed it, but I don't think I'd buy the DVD. And Simon was a little off, but Theodore and Alvin were dead on. I guess all the years writing for Bart Simpson, Jon Vitti (the writer) pretty much set him up to do Alvin like that.

[Spitfire]

Most disappointing film for me was Spider-man 3 because I let myself get to excited to see it.

As far as other films go my favorites were No Country For Old Men, 3:10 To Yuma, Sunshine, Shoot'Em Up, 28 Weeks Later, Pan's Labyrinth*I have a ticket for this marked 1/30*, Planet Terror, Hot Fuzz, and American Gangster. And some I also enjoyed Sweeney Todd, Eastern Promises, Rescue Dawn, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Reno 911 The Movie.

Stuff I thought either sucked or was another "Missionary Position" movie 300, Transformers, I Am Legend, Beowulf, Pirates 3, Death Proof, Ghost Rider, Balls Of Fury*It has moments but overall it's bad even for a Reno fan like myself*, and 30 Days Of Night*Don't get me started*.

TMNT is a mixed bag but in a state of basing what I like purely off my high standards it falls flat on it's face.

I might have forgot a few I got bad memory and most likely misplace a few movie tickets.
