Alice in Wonderland (2010, direct-to-video). It has worse animation than Johnny Test, horrible public domain radio play audio, hideous character designs, the whole enchilada of hell. It's truly dire.

"Well, what were you expecting?"
"I don't know. The trailers looked awesome. Hot girls, mechs, dragons, steampunk nazis..."
"Yeah. And the movie didn't have that in spades?"
"Well, yeah, it did but it all sucked!"
"I'll ask again, what were you expecting?"
"...I don't know.."
"Were you seriously expecting a good story that combines all those elements? And directed by Zack Snyder?"
"Obviously not."
"So...?"
"...I don't know!"

It baffles me, I guess. Did I like it? Myeh. For what it was, it was fine. Kinda fun. I mean in the first 20 minutes we got two music videos, that was pretty different and interesting. Zach's a great visual storyteller(and not much else, to be honest) so I thought this movie only played to his strengths.

Bah. Sorry for the rant I'm not trying to defend the movie; to each their own. But I'm just curious how SO many people were disappointed with it. I just don't know what else they could have expected other than what they got.
Well there are people who liked it. I, as well as some others, are just not in that camp. It's just a matter of personal taste.

I did like the designs of the queen's soldiers though.

Bad movies? How about Wolf Creek? Boring, predictable, uninspired. I know it was supposedly based on a true story from Australia, but the entire movie was just painful to watch.

And as much as I hate to bash any Marvel movie- X-Men: The Last Stand. That movie could have been so great, but they utterly dropped the ball on the Phoenix sub-plot. Angel's part of the movie was decent, and I liked the will-she/won't-she aspect with Rogue and the mutant "cure", and even the stuff with Leech and Magneto's force, (though I didn't like their version of Spike).

X-Men: First Class was more of the same. I went in with high hopes, only to see characters misused, misplaced in time/place, and even killed off prematurely or in ways that made no sense. Darwin could survive in SPACE with no oxygen, and in the presence of all sorts of powerful energies- and he can't handle Shaw redirecting and amplifying Havok's power? Get real. That should never have happened. Also, their "Angel" is too confusing. I kept thinking they were using Pixie, as she has the same powers, and is far better known. It also made it over-complicated to use the same name as another character who also has wings- THE "Angel" from Last Stand- Warren Worthington. It made no sense to me. There was little development of anyone but Charles and Eric, so most of the other characters seemed pointless. The ONE thing that I liked was the backstory between Charles and Mystique, and the addition of Azazel (who became Nightcrawler's father!).

True, but that just shows how screwed your movie is when THAT'S the only noteworthy thing about it.

Baby Genuises 3 (Direct to DVD) - You might think I'm trolling and making this one up.....I'm not. This actually exists, and it's even WORSE than the first two movies. And if you had the misfortune of watching those you know that's saying something.

And as long as we're on the subject of bad video game movies- Super Mario Brothers. Need I say more? But at least we'll always have the first Tomb Raider movie and the first Mortal Kombat.

Her name is Angel, not a codename like Warren. Angel Salvadore.

Her backstory is completely changed from the comics from abused teen runaway to stripper but it is the film version of her, not to mention she should be in a modern day setting as she joins Xavier's Institute after Wolverine saves her from the U-Men.

What was cool with Angel (and Beak) was that they weren't pretty supermodel looking or heroic muscley like the average X-Man, but was among the rather unfortunate mutants as she had to digest her food like a fly and had fly wings. Beak, a fellow student she got romantically involved with and gad children with had chicken features.

She did after M-Day become pretty like the rest on Marvel's superheroes, and is now a member of the New Warriors as Tempest.

Speaking of crappy X-Men movies, let's not forget to mention these gems:

Generation X was amazing, best Emma Frost ever. And Banshee... Dear lord, that movie.

Wolverine Origins is just a mess on so many levels.

I haven't seen Generation X since it debuted on television. I actually remember it pretty well, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. I even got a Skin action figure because of that movie. He had long arms and his fingers stretched out. I brought it to after-school care, but the other kids didn't know who he was.

Cold Fusion. When a character says "Electoralmagnetic Pulse Weapon." you know it's a bad movie.

In the theater? "The Fountain" was definitely a stinker. My then-girlfriend apologized to me repeatedly for taking me to it. Slow moving, overacting, confusing, supposedly deep-meaning...and no payoff at the end, except that it's finally over.
