Avatar. Other than the gimmick of the 3D experience, which was good, but gave me a cracking headache, it is the old worn out story of evil colonists ravaging the place of natural resources and making the natives suffer!

I feel Avatar is one of the most overrated movies to ever be released. Aside from the setting, and the excellent CGI, you could draw heavy comparisons of the plot of Avatar to Pocahontes. Doesn't help that the characters in Avatar are very one-dimensional, and flat.

I love the musical and was willing to give it a chance, but the thing that was most jarring for me and put me off it (apart from a couple of the actors) was the absolute dogs breakfast they made over the relative scale of props/sets to the “cats”. There was no continuity of scale…

There was this one movie I regret watching called "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale". Yes, that's the full name of the movie.

There are several reasons why this film is so bad, but I'll tell you why I saw it first. Back when Roger's (very similar to Blockbuster, but only limited to Canada) was still doing movie rentals, my parents would let us rent a movie every month, and I happened to pick this one because the cover looked very much like Lord of the Rings (probably a good deceptive marketing ploy by the studio). Then, it had a good (on paper) cast, including Jason Statham, Ron Perlman, John Rhys-Davies, Ray Liotta (RIP), and Burt Reynolds (RIP).

Now, onto why this movie is so bad;
1: Uwe Boll directed it. You movie buffs will know that name very well.
2: It was adapted from a video game series called Dungeon Siege... and this was before films like Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog broke the stigma of video game movies being bad to some degree, or The Last of Us (season 1) showing us that cinematic adaptations of video games can be amazing.
3: A very poor script, with wooden acting and fight choreography in a medieval "epic".
4: Terrible casting. The aforementioned actors are good/great in their own rights, but given bad roles (like Ray Liotta as a cartoonish sorcerer, or Burt Reynolds as a king/father of Jason Statham's character.
5: Bad CGI.
6: It feels like a very bad rip off of Lord of the Rings, and it was very late to the party of the Lord of the Rings trend (Return of the King came out in 2003, In the Name of the King came out in 2007).

Now, there is a reason why this director made this film so terribly, and that has to do with German tax laws. If a film flops, like this one did so hard grossing only $13.1 million on a budget of $60 million, then it can be written off as a tax write-off.

The worst thing about this film? It somehow spawned two "sequels", and one of them managed to get Dolph Lundgren in it... and believe me when I say that these two sequels somehow are worse than the first one.

The plot is all I feel the place, the characters are flat and I just couldn't connect with any of them.
I'm sorry if you like the movie; I just didn't enjoy it. I couldn't understand what the point was underneath all the CGI. Is it saying that playing too much is bad for you? Is it promoting escapism? I have no clue. I normally enjoy movies like this so it was pretty disappointing.

I never watched the movie. I did try to read the book, but it was so derivative and the characters were so flat and boring I couldn't get through it. It reads like it was written by a Gen X nerd (which I am one) never grew up, then he read Snow Crash, and then wrote down the wet dream he had that night.

The Happening. Good cast (Mark Wahlberg, Zoe Deschanel, John Leguizamo) in a losing fight against possibly the worst script ever, containing such lines as "All we have to do is outrun the wind!"
It also appears that none of the actors were told what kind of movie they were in, and just had to guess.
Finally, M. Night Shyamalan appears to think that eating tiramisu is equivalent to cheating. That must have been one hell of a dessert.

I walked out of Se7en. The soundtrack was mixed too high, so the dialogue was almost inaudible because of the other noise - rain, office chat etc. The low lighting/mood was taken to extremes (why are cops searching a crime scene in near darkness ? Just turn the damn lights on, as well as using your torches). It was on at our student cinema, so I hadn't paid, and could go wait in the office till it was over and I had to return to finish ushering duties.

I watch a lot of bad movies (usually on purpose), so this is a tough one. Let's see:

Most popular movie that I hate: Gone with the Wind. Just could not care about any of the characters.

Worst martial arts movie: Enter the Ninja. ("I want my Oompah-Loompah, er, ninja NOW!")

Worst romance: City of Angels. "Smart" trauma surgeon not only goes for creepy stalker who hasn't bathed or brushed his teeth in billions of years, and then rides a bicycle without a helmet.

Worst horror movie: impossible to call. Weirdest, though, might be "Zombie A*s: Toilet of the Dead". Just don't watch it sober!
