The Worst Movies of 2008

2008 has brought us some pretty amazing movies: The Dark Knight, WALL-E, and Iron Man. But as jaded twenty-somethings, we know that with the good comes the bad. I think there have been more bad movies hitting the box office this year than in previous years. What do you think?

What Happens in Vegas

I’m pretty sure that these two people need to stop making movies. Ashton Kutcher does a better job in those Nikon commercials. Cameron Diaz is just…flat. She’s not that great of an actress in my opinion. I realize this movie wasn’t supposed to be Oscar-worthy, but it wasn’t even theater-worthy.

You Don't Mess With The Zohan

Oh Adam Sandler…what happened here? His previous movies (Big Daddy, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore) weren’t Blockbuster hits, but at least they were FUNNY! This movie is just stupid. I’ve lost faith in his entertaining and comedic skills.

Fool's Gold

Okay these two just need to stop. I’ll admit it. I enjoyed them a lot in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I have to draw the line somewhere though right? I didn’t even see this movie after reading reviews and hearing “No please don’t” from my friends.

High School Musical 3

Ok, so I didn’t see this (nor have I seen any of the others), but I guess I’m putting it on here because I’m sick of hearing about this franchise and all the frenzy it causes. Let’s pray these kids don’t go to college.

Mad Money

So is this Tom Cruise’s plan? Ruin Katie Holmes’ career by talking her out of The Dark Knight and into Mad Money? And Queen Latifah. What the eff? Do you remember Chicago? How do you go from THAT to THIS?

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

There are so many things wrong with this movie, it’s making me nauseous just thinking about it. Though I think it’s fair to blame Lucas and Spielberg, that nerd Shia LeBeouf sure didn’t help matters.

Rambo IV

After seeing Rocky Balboa, i thought this movie was gonna be just another useless sequel. If you’re a fan of hardcore action, then you’ll love Rambo… but it just seemed when the plot started to weaken, something got blown up or killed.

Like Indiana Jones, some series are just meant to be left alone.

Quarantine

We considered walking out of this movie. I didn’t unfortunately.

The premise sounded good to bad they fouled up the execution.

What we do is Secret

Some movies are horrible, some movies are insulting, and then there’s this film which is horribly insulting.

Hollywood has enough shit that they could be making without taking another subject that they don’t understand and tyring to exploit it. Maybe this movie got amazing and the actors suddenly became talented, but I couldn’t wait to find out. I actually had to turn this shit.

What happens in Vegas: Question: was this a movie or just a non-stop, free flowing montage of schlock. Better Question: Why am I admitting that I saw this movie?

OK, I know I already commented, but….my husband rented “Hancock” this weekend, and after watching it, yeah….it belongs in in this category. (My apologies to Will Smith)

I believe this was released in 2007, but I did not see it till 2008, so as far as I’m concerned, it qualifies. “I Am Legend” with Will Smith. I like Will, usually, but this movie, ugh. I did not care for it what-so-ever. Made no sense, and the ending was stupid.
