Well, it's that time of year again: time to vote on the worst movies of the year! Sorry, I'm a little late getting the thread started this year.
Here's how it works: I'll leave this thread open for you guys to make nominations for the worst movie of 2009. Then, the day after Christmas I'll place all the nominations together in a poll and let the community vote for the official badmovie.org worst movie of 2009.
My nomination this year is for Richard Kelly's THE BOX. Man, was I disappointed at this one. The acting was mediocre at best: Cameron Diaz never got a hold on her Southern accent, and there was really no reason to give her one. The script was pretty terrible---you could see the stitches where Matheson's short story ended and Kelly's inventions began---and the action senseless. Subplots were dropped for no reason. A very annoying movie.
So let's nominate some BAD movies!
Transformers:revenge of the fallen~ painful from beginning to the very long end. Frankly, it was an assault on the senses.
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.
The Asylum try their hand at not making a knock-off!
The shark attacking the plane is legendary!
Dance Flick :bluesad:
New moon :bluesad: :thumbdown:
Sadly, Drag Me to Hell. A lifeless, reanimated corpse of an Evil Dead film. I didn't hate it, but Sam Raimi should be doing much, much better work.
For non-theatrical, that Children of the Corn remake was pure garbage and stupid to boot.
Revenge of the Fallen- Exactly the same as the first film with the completely illogical addition of having Decepticons be able to take human form, but not use that in order to destroy human society from within!!!! Total waste of what could have been a decent plot point!
New Moon, I got dragged on a date to see that one. I think I've seen more expression conveyed by a walrus, then by the films actors. 10 minutes into the film I was already hoping to see blade burst in and waste everything. It just went downhill from there.
I'm ashamed to say that I haven't seen more than 3 movies from 2009.
Hit and Run (2009)
Certainly wasn't the worst but sort of bad.
I've only seen about 9 movies released this year. My least favorite was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It was pretty much terrible.
Maybe not the worst, but definitely the most disappointing, was 2012.

That's a good thing! :smile:
You know, I think the only movie I've seen this year is District 9, and it certainly wasn't bad.
How about "knowing" that was a huge steaming pile of crap. :teddyr: I know I said revenge of the fallen but I forgot about this one. Its gotta be in the running.

2 things I hated in Knowing:
a) When the plane crashes, the fire on the wreckage is fake
b) Some humans actually survive. Why can't any apocalypse movie be made where everyone dies?

I don't see why you can't nominate more than one movie. Although I have to say, though I didn't think KNOWING was great, I wouldn't call it "a huge steaming pile of crap."
There's a movie that got very low ratings that I'm curious about---ALL ABOUT STEVE, the romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock. It got about a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes. One of the reviewers thought it was so bad, he gave it a good rating: he thought it actually worked as an avant-garde satire of romantic comedies! I wonder if anyone here had the misfortune (or fortune) to see that one?
I liked knowing. But anyways i nominate GI Joe and if we can nominate 2 then year one. I expected more from Harold Ramis

ok, huge steaming pile of crap may have been a little much. :teddyr: The movie just frustrated me so much and that ending.. :lookingup:
The best bad movie I saw this year was THE COWBOY KILLER, a direct-to-video masterpiece that Ed Wood would have been proud of. Every bad movie fan should see this film.
The WORST movie I saw all year . . . . hmmm. Good question. Probably LAND OF THE LOST. Will Ferrell deserves to have his genitalia devoured by flaming eels for all eternity for starring in that piece of crap!

I would consider posting COWBOY KILLER on the BEST MOVIES OF 2009 thread, then. :wink:
And I was expecting someone to nominate LAND OF THE LOST. I suspected you would do it if no one else did!

Two movies made me physically upset this year:
Adventureland - I hate comedies like this.
Whatever Works - I hate comedies like this too.
Moon
I have to say Fighting. I was with friends, and I walked out. IMDb page (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1082601/)
I have not seen a single movie from 2009.
On a similar note, I have not seen a movie in theaters since Cars (2006), unless films at the local Science Center count. I might have seen one or two of those.
Hmm...maybe The surrogates.
It wasn't horrible, but it was so mediocre, run of the mill, "safe", gray, ordinary, predictable, and other mean words, that it is just bad.
I'm not sure if that counts though.
Terminator: Salvation.

Of course that counts! Those are the absolute
worst movies!
I was going to say Terminator Salvation, but Anton Yelchin did a great job as young Kyle Reese. He was the only good thing in that steaming turd.
My vote goes to Revenge of The Fallen. This movie wasn't just bad, it was offensive, and offensive is not a word I use lightly. I'm not as sensitive, or PC as some people I know, but I certainly know when a filmmaker has crossed the line. Those who've seen this movie know exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm really starting to doubt if Michael Bay has ever really talked to a black man in his life.
I just recently saw a movie that's worse than all of these: the amateur direct-to-DVD feature PROMETHEUS TRIUMPHANT: A FUGUE IN THE KEY OF FLESH. I am not going to nominate it, though, because I'm sure no one else has seen it---and, it's so bad I don't want to do anything that might encourage anyone to!
