Just bad. But, I admit to still having it on my hard drive just to watch the dancers at the Caribbean club.

That horrible Will Ferrell flick - you know, the one with NASCAR? Ah, Talladega Nights. That was execrable.

Looking at his filmography, oy, he’s made a ton of bad movies. Semi-Pro was also terrible.

1. Evan Almighty
2. Terminator: Salvation
3. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
4. High Tention
5. Max Payne
6. Friday the 13th remake
7. The Tale of Despereux (not looking up the spelling)
8. A Ewe Boll movie where the main character is named Farmer. Don’t remember the name.
9. Austin Powers: Goldmember
10. Alexander

Obviously, this is restricted to movies I’ve seen.

The few? :rolleyes:  
The movie made $708 million worldwide…obviously more than a few people enjoyed it.

I am pretty choosy about what I see on the big screen and I rarely see something that I really hate. The worst one this decade was probably Matrix Reloaded. Surprisingly I found Revolutions quite enjoyable. I also mildly enjoyed Attack of the Clones and I think Revenge of the Sith is the second best of the six after ESB. I agree with everyone that Phantom Menace is an abomination; possibly the worst film I have ever seen at a theater.

Ok, if _Transformers_ was a 10 (from 1 to 10) on the bad scale, _Transformers 2_ was a 100.

This needs to be emphatically seconded. I think Bay made the movie specifically to be insulting to the audience. And I actually can tolerate the first one.

Decepticon balls, indeed.

I meant to say one of the few on this forum.

I enjoy most of the parts with the robots, but any scenes with only humans are terrible in both movies.

_10. Evan Almighty_ - Felt a lot like a straight to DVD sequel  
_9. Garfield_ - Bill Murray is not Garfield!  
_8. The Cat In The Hat_ - I’m so sick of old comedians being “zany”.  
_7. The Tuxedo_ - Jackie Chan. Just Jackie Chan  
_6. Twilight_ - Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. So much angst.  
_5. Dragonball Evolution_ - This didn’t even seem like a Dragonball movie.  
_4. The Game Plan_ - The Rock and Madison Pettis. Pure torture.  
_3. Eragon_ - “I HAVE SKIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLS!” That’s really all that needs to be said.  
_2. The Happening_ - No Mr. Shyamalan, that’s not how biology works.  
_1. Toronto Stories_ - I have seen **one** good Canadian film. This was not it.

Quadruple ditto.

Plus, Bagger Vance, The Happening and Lady in the Water, V for Vendetta, and almost all the comic book movies including Iron Man. Ugh.

:eek: I would list this among the TOP films of the decade! Maybe it’s not for everyone, but it hardly deserves to be in the company of the other films you listed.

I was sufficiently aggravated that I started a thread about that movie back in 2002, and I almost never start threads.  
Checking, I find out _Star Trek: Insurrection_ was in 1998, but I’d be willing to bend space and time itself to include it in _any_ decade’s list of the worst films.

That’s too bad. When I rewatch this movie, which I do frequently I usually START it at about the half hour mark.

I can’t believe no one has yet mentioned the utter awfulness of _Dungeons & Dragons_. We went to see it _knowing_ it was a bad movie, and we were **still** disappointed and horrified by how awful it was.

And it didn’t have the decency to be campy (except for “give me the ROD!”) No, it was a fest of so-bad-that-it’s-bad acting and plot combined with nearly breathtaking (for the time) CGI.

Is it just me, or did I not see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on anyone’s list? Not only was it a horrible movie, it also besmirched the reputation of a classic franchise. That hurts twice as much.

I can think of only two movies that I’ve actually seen that deserve to be on the decade’s shitlist:

_What the Bleep Do We Know  
Dogville_

Well, Attack of the Clones was worse and affected an equally cool previous series.

I liked Indy 4. I would have ranked them:

1. Last Crusade
2. Raiders
3. Crystal Skull
4. Temple of Doom
