OK, this is the third year for I've done this. Here's how it works: give your nominations for the worst movies of 2010 in this thread. On Dec. 24, I'll take all the nominations and put them into a poll, and the badmovies.org community will vote for the Worst Movie of 2010.
There's a mirror-image thread for Best Movie of 2010 on the "Good Movies" board.
As far as my nomination, I considered HUMAN CENTIPEDE (but decided not to nominate it out of respect for AndyC) and TRASH HUMPERS (won't nominate it because I don't think anyone else has seen it). So in the end, my vote goes to:
MACGRUBER: Is it a cliche to nominate a movie based on a Saturday Night Live skit for worst movie of the year? Maybe, but it's especially a good idea when the original skit wasn't that good too begin with. This had a chance to be a funny spoof of 1980s action movies but totally lost its way with awful, awful jokes and no characters to root for. Ugh.
So what's your nomination?
2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams
I didn't see many new movies this year but I'll have to go with ...
Iron Man 2
It was boring as all get out. I almost fell asleep several times, no joke. The fight at the race track was the only exciting part. Even the battle against the drones at the end was uninteresting. (Also, the drones appeared to be extremely vulnerable to standard 5.56 NATO rounds, since War Machine blew one apart with an FN F2000 carbine.)
Also, I couldn't stand Pepper (didn't like her in the first one, either) or Hammer. Replace them with less annoying characters and the movie would have been improved at least 75%.
The Last Exorcism
I would say "The Expendables". It was advertised as the first film to star both Sylvester Stalone and Arnold Schwarzenegger together in a basic 1980's style action flick. Plus it stared Mickey Rourke, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and multiple other great actors. What did I get?
Boring plot
Underdeveloped characters
Bland action sequences
And worst of all,
Arnold and Stalone were only on screen together for 5 minutes. Without guns, screaming, or one-liners. Just calling each other immature names. I'll admit though. The two fighting (even if verbally) was the best part of the film. It was fun as hell. But the rest was just dull.
Arnold had absolutely no impact on the plot. Seriously! He popped in once and was never mentioned again!
Mickey Rourke wasn't even one of the people fighting. He was some boring tattoo artist who interrupts the film for an extreme close-up of his [expilative]ed-up aging face while he rambled on endlessly about some random chick who he didn't stop from throwing herself from a windows.
BORING!! :hatred:
Bah! Let's nominate some real pieces of crap that just about everyone hates. As such, I nominate Vampires Suck.
Shrek Ever After...unfunny, unwitty and just plain awful. :thumbdown:
Clash of the Titans (2010)
Rubbish.
Just rubbish. :thumbdown:
"Mega Piranha"
You can now buy it for $5 at Wal-Mart, I'm thinking about it, but I believe I'll end up watching it alone, which is no fun.

Yeah, but most of us were smart enough not to go see those. :bouncegiggle:

I kind of liked that one. Pure cheese, fun to mock.
Saw 3D.
I'm usually alone with the Saw-love here at Badmovies.org, but with something like part "3D" (which actually means 7), I feel it's actually within my Saw-love to condemn this film for so markedly dropping the ball like an idiot in the final stretch.
Looking at my IMDB voting history, the lowest rated film in 2010 is Legion. Yeah, it was pretty bad - oddly though, it was actually better than I expected. Think some folks on here would get a kick out of it, just don't expect a legitimately GOOD film.
I nominate SKYLINE.
I wrote about how much this movie annoyed me on its main thread a while back.
But mainly I was annoyed because they wanted you to sit through the credits to look at some stupid pictures that only extended the already stupid ending - and I had to go pee real bad.

Dude, talk about well put. :cheers:
My girlfriend who has a hard time distinguishing films within our genre turned to me in the theater and said, "this isn't even good in your BAD MOVIE way..."
Furry Vengeance.
the Title sucks, the movie sucks, the thing just sucks :hatred:
MacGruber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, how I want that hour and a half back!
I few online friends love MacGruber and always tell me to check it out. On the other hand I always read pretty bad MacGruber reviews so I'm constantly torn.

I'll agree. It could have been a great 80's spoof or at the very least a funny movie of some kind. It was both terrible and disappointing. I nominate...MacGruber.
Even though I can't nominate anymore, anyone care to give Marmaduke well deserve worst nomination?
Okay. I didn't even see Vampires Suck, nor will I ever, and I already know it's probably the worst of the year.
Although I understand Macgruber is pretty awful.
This has to be the worst. I haven't seen it but the trailer alone makes me want to vomit.

Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
:bluesad:
I have seen both VAMPIRES SUCK and MACGRUBER, and trust me, MACGRUBER is ten times worst. VAMPIRES was just another atrocious spoof - it had a few funny moments and some lame ones, but MACGRUBER was more lame than a quadraplegic convention.
I nominate Repo Men. Terribly stupid. It's really a toss-up with The Expendables but that's been picked already.

Forget my previous nomination of
Iron Man 2, THIS is the WORST movie I have ever seen. It's worse than
Manos, it's worse than
Monster a Go-Go, it's worse than
Headless Eyes, it's worse than
The Jar, it's worse than
Alligator Alley, it's even worse than
Tank Girl.

We can't even see the trailer: it's blocked in the U.S. :question: I've never even heard of that.
I'm going to say "The last airbender". I'd rather watch Vampires Suck than it again.
Hmm.. well, like I said in a previous post, a lot of critics have said The Nutcracker Suite movie is the worst of the year, but I haven't seen it, so I can't really say.
Our Family Wedding is the worst movie I saw this year. Forrest Whitaker, Carlos Mencia and America Ferrera have done harm with this one. Incredibly lame, pandering and predictable to the point of embarrasment. True, this isn't the kind of bad movie discussed on this site, but wow was this painful to sit through. :thumbdown:

No one has, I don't think it was released to very many theaters. I would have LOVED to go see NUTCRACKER 3D.
"2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams"
Without a doubt the worst film I've seen this year. Totally.
I saw the first cut of it, got shown at a mini horror film fest in Glasgow, and it was awful. Badly done gore, actors who look like they wanted to die (poor Bill Moseley), flat jokes and a horrible strain of racism passing as comedy throughout. There's only so many times someone can say "She likes the dark meat!" when someone eats a black person.

MacGruber is vastly underrated.

Imagine a wierd freaky teen talking in a chipmunk voice for the whole trailer, and throw in a couple of random b-list celebrity cameos, and you'll get a pretty good approximation in your head.

I hate the web shorts this kid does that created the character. He's been doing it for like, two years. All power to him, he's got himself a couple gigs on Nickelodeon and a movie out of it. Hopefully it's popularity will wain and he'll slowly disappear. Fred sucks.
I think the worst I saw that was made this year was Legion. How do you take a film about supernatural beings beating the tar out of each other, while having doug jones in it (for all of 3 seconds I am aware), and make it so awful?
I can't believe I let my friend talk me into seeing it.
If this had been 2009 Transformers II without any doubt or hesitation.
I couldn't even finish one of those Fred 5 minute youtube videos without wanting to claw my eyes out. I can't see the trailer either (who the heck is so protective of this garbage?) but I think I'm grateful for that.
Unwanted remakes, movies based on SNL skits and bad sitcoms, and now movies based on internet 'memes'. Geesh.
Now, PLAY THEM OFF KEYBOARD CAT: THE MOVIE. That I'd go see! :thumbup:

I know I'm too late to the party to make an actual nomination, and my pick is late as well (came out the LAST week of 2010), but I would have to nominate Little Fockers.
To be honest, a lot of the films I've heard are pretty bad are films I haven't seen because, even if they were good, they're simply in a genre that I don't watch. Like Eat, Pray, Love (hmmm.. sounds excitiing), the Bounty Hunter, Sex and the City 2 (yeah, a SEQUEL to a movie about four self centered b***hes. Yeeha!), When in Rome (oh, BOY! A romantic comedy, I just LOOOOOVE these),
Quote from: Doc Daneeka on December 18, 2010, 03:56:40 AM
Saw 3D.
I'm usually alone with the Saw-love here at Badmovies.org, but with something like part "3D" (which actually means 7), I feel it's actually within my Saw-love to condemn this film for so markedly dropping the ball like an idiot in the final stretch.
I watched every Saw film and liked them all except 5, which was the main reason I went to Saw 3D. To say I was disappointed was a massive understatement.
Saw 3-D is a film in the Saw series in name only.
During the opening credits we see Dr. Gordon from the original Saw film after he sawed off his foot, which immediately gave away the so-called big swerve at the end.
Granted, I figured out that eventually he would be a Saw follower for lack of a better word, but to give it away literally seconds into the film angered me immensely.
The lack of Jigsaw perplexed me given how prominent he was in the other films, especially after he died in 3.
Unless I'm mistaken Jigsaw was in the film for only 3 scenes for a total of 3 minutes at the most.
Most of the film was "cat and mouse" between Hoffman and Jill, now granted I thought it was a pretty cool swerve that Hoffman ended up being in the coroners bag to sneak into the police headquarters undetected.
Aside from that the film was predictable. There are no smooth transitions from scenes to what is more like "oh look someone is about to die" in the "games" before the main one following the fake survivor and even then the final "test" was predictable.
Honestly, this movie was a massive gorefest with none of the philosophy that was in previous Saw films.
FRED: THE MOVIE Update!
One of the cable kiddie stations was actually playing this the other day. I risked my sanity (and my foot and the TV screen) and actually watched as much as I could stand. It turned out to be for only about ten minutes.
I can only hope the guys playing the bullies who get to throw balls at Fred had to do many, many retakes.
I'd still like to see a PLAY THEM OFF, KEYBOARD CAT movie.

I looked it up and found it available on Netflix for viewing. This I have to see. However, I give worst film of the year to Standing Ovation. Screw Vampires Suck, this is crap!
