+Nachiket Rao Making Sam Raimi rush the movie didn't help. They wanted to do Spider-Man 4 even faster and make it 3D to boot. He'd never even worked with 3D and didn't want to just churn out another bad movie. They wanted it complete in less than a year. Greed is what made Spider-Man 3 so bad. You'd think after the excellent Spider-Man 2 they would just let Sam Raimi do what he wants and give him plenty of time. The second one is still one of the best superhero movies of all time.
+Nachiket Rao i think they all knew spiderman is going to get rebooted/end or something. that's why they just fucked it up like a way of saying FUCKYOU GOODBYE
+Joseph Martinez When I saw it I thought it was a disgrace to Marvel movies,but after watching alot more bad movies and reading the spider man comics again and realizing what Spider Man really was,I think the first two were Marvel sell-out movies infusing the already popular spider man with a rom-com drama while spider man 3 was a legitamate action movie that tried its best to recap spider man comics into a movie,but unfortunately,due to a lack of time and a lack of faith,it didn't turn out well.Honestle,I don't think any of the spider man movies,except for amazing spider man 2,were either noteworthy nor were they true to the comics(except for amazing spider man 1,wich was just an all around bad movie with an empty plot,in my opinion WORST then spider man 3).
+Izanami 2803 Well here's what I think. The 2 films i compare are both antman and age of ultron cuz they released this year. Anyway, the way i see it, Ant Man was a funny film and more lighthearted than avengers because it didn't take itself too seriously. It had some weird and cool sequences such as the quantum realm. Age of ultron was basically the same shit all over again like in Avengers, only that part 1 was awesome because it was really funny and first time we see an alliance. Where i think age of ultron failed is the fact that Joss whedon and the cast (maybe not cast's fault) took himself too seriously and gave us that funny but abomination of a film. If he wouldn't have emphasized so much on the characters attitudes, i think it would have been successful. I mean come on, The hulk used to be this kind of quiet and smart scientist and theres this scene where he's making fun of Tony stark by parroting whatever he said only in a stupid and sarcastic way. It was stupid dialogue like his, that made me think of this film as below average. The only good part in my opinion about AOF is The Vision. I was amazed at the fact that he picked up Thor's hammer like a BOSS. I think when Joss came up with the idea of the 2nd part, he sort of pitched it this way, "Let's make Tony stark be more full of himself and let's make Hulk/Banner more like a snotty teenager that copies there parents just to annoy them." I loved AntMan cuz they didn't put much emphasize on "logic", but it of course had common sense.
I agree with the list, but The Last Airbender should have been first... :) I suppose the reason it wasn't was because this isn't a list about the worst movies, it was about the worst anticipated movies, and the last airbender wasn't as anticipated as Star Wars...
Kitten Copic Beta Lion Oh Hell Yes! That show will always be one of my favorites! :D I still haven't really watch Legend of Korra though...I'm afraid it'll disappoint me. ^^;
Every live action DC movie after Batman Returns was pretty bad. The exceptions are RED, Watchmen, Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition, There Will Be Blood, and V for Vendetta. The Dark Knight Trilogy was very bad. If you want to watch decent DC then you have to watch the animated movies.
you're right it wasn't that terrible, but we all hate it because it was a disappointment for such a great series which had already ended on a high note with the last crusade.
This list should be named "Three Things That Will Guarantee a Movie Will Suck": 1: Forced trilogy that should've stuck to 2 movies. 2: Any comic/cartoon to live-action ever. 3: Shia LeBeouf
"Godzilla 1998" was indeed a huge letdown for many devoted Godzilla fans. But certainly not for me personally. I love Godzilla, but I'm not hardcore about him. Being open-minded is what has allowed me to love the movie to this day.
Speaking of which, would THESE help? Alien 3, Alexander, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Snow White and the Huntsman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Glass, Shrek the Third, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World`s End and Suicide Squad. It`s been a long while since I`ve SEEN that Godzilla film, BTW.
Episode 1 wasn't bad. People invent their "complete" version in their heads and refuse to have anything to disrupt their illusionary utopia, even if it was a change from the creator. Fanboys/girls needs to learn to adapt or move on.
Nope, it was a bad movie. The plot was convoluted, the characters undimensional, bland and unlikable and many of them were completely unnecessary to the story, the acting was wooden and the dialogue was poorly written. It was a mess and deserves the #1 spot. John Williams soundtrack was good though.
The actors didn't properly react to the environment (CGI added after the filming). There was little passion or tension. The actors (especially the children) appeared to be reciting lines for an oral report in school, not "acting". There were inconsistencies and plot holes regarding how the force worked and decisions made by the characters. The CGI was good. It was coherent. Some battles were epic. So it was definitely better than some low-budget slasher films. But it deserves the #1 spot because it was SO anticipated and the expectations were through the roof.
I love the fact that everyone is a fucking critic and know about everything... The movie was made to be enjoyed and I did and I'm glad I did because i'm not like every hater over here.

I honestly believe that where they left off was an amazing place to leave at. it was awesome and really gripped our heart strings. Only true fans understand how awesome this movie was after waiting years for a new movie. I will always love it. I'm still listening to the Tron Legacy soundtrack to this day
Here's a summary for you lazy people. 10. Tron: Legacy 9. Godzilla (1998) 8. The Matrix Revolutions (2003) 7. The Hangover Part 2 (2011) 6. Terminator Salvation (2009) 5. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) 4. The Godfather Part 3 (1990) 3. The Last Airbender (2010) 2. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) 1. Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace Honorable Mentions: X-Men: The Last Stand Spider-Man 3 Batman & Robin Speed Racer
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was the most disappointing thing since my son. I mean, how much more could you possibly fuck up the entire back story to Star Wars? And while my son eventually hanged himself in the bathroom at the gas station, the unfortunate reality of the Star Wars prequels is that they'll be around... forever... they will never go away... it can never be undone...
Tron legacy was not disappointing. In it you get the nostalgic feeling as you were as a kid watching the first one for the first time, and then when he gets transported into the system it's actually about ten times better than the first one with all of our CGI today. I actually saw it in 3D form on IMAX screen when it came out and it kinda changed my life for the better. And to talk about the soundtrack. I still can't get enough of that music till this day....
I agree Tron Legacy was amazing and my nephews and niece I took with me to see in 3D loved it as well.. Great story, great soundtrack.. I hate critics, even the assholes here on Watch Mojo.. The only reason why Tron Legacy didn't make more money was because DL'ing was still at it's peak at the time.. Who'd pay over $50 to take the family to the theatre when they can download it for free with little to zero consequence.. The Matrix Revolutions is on this List?! FUCK YOU MOJO ASSHO'S!!! "Oh hey, I love your movies.. The story was great, everything was great.. Oh, except the 3rd.." You can't read a series and then turn around a say, "I hate the ending!" These Jag-off's at Mojo are obviously just Video Trolling to get more site hits..
JaybayJay "The only reason why Tron Legacy didn't make more money was because DL'ing was still at it's peak at the time." Film studios often blame piracy when one of their movies doesn't do as well as expected, but I don't buy it. Some of the most financially successful movies are also among the most pirated, which puts a bit of a dent in the theory that piracy causes movies to lose money. And to answer your question, people go to the movies for the social experience of watching in a theater with other people.
Robert Jenkins Why do you people do that? I know what I fucking said, I don't need it quoted back to me. Just because you don't buy it doesn't mean it's not true. And it was a rhetorical question.. That's why I stopped going to theatres.. Too many other people wouldn't shut up.. Theatres have changed over the last 10 years thanks to downloading.. Ticket prices almost hit $20 per person at one time, and movies took almost a year to be released.. Now tickets are reasonable and they give you a chance to spend a few extra dollars for the early digital release of the film you watched.. Some theatres have Bars, and confection prices have damn near doubled.. Dredd was an amazing movie and made only $35 million worldwide.. While Karl Urban wants to do a sequel, and a lot of fans do to, the studio won't because that movie was downloaded to hell and back.. Apparently Bluray and Dvd Sales of the film were pretty high.. TMNT out of Shadows is again doing poorly at the boxoffice, yet it's the highest downloaded torrent right now.. I don't care if people download.. What I care about is that people should support good movies in the theatres
There is NO WAY that Indiana Jones and Episode I were worse than The Last Airbender. Sure we had Jar Jar (I don't even need to explain that, you all know already) but the final lightsaber duel was good in my opinion and sure maybe the last Indiana film wasn't as great (still at least decent) as the older ones, but man. You can't pay me to sit and watch The Last Airbender again. The cartoon was a million times better.
bitch please, dragon ball evolution, they didnt even name it, and i still prefer to sit and see last air bender(with my eyes bleeding) than dragon ball evolution
Camilo Gonzales O dude, trust me. If I saw that on here (which I was wondering why it wasn't) it would be up there with the Last Airbender. Movies I won't watch again.
I thought Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skulls should have been number one on this list. First of all I understand exactly what they mean when they say it tries too hard and doesn't try at all. Second of all it didn't even feel like an adventure film to me. It felt like some cheesy made for TV movie on the syfy channel.
I did like and enjoy the film, It just that didn't like is the casting, characters, sprit dragon. CGI, Plot, Fight scenes are good. I don't hate this film despite a 6% on Rotten tomatoe.
Well, it appears that SOMEONE hasn't done their research! The prequel trilogy of Star Wars was already written back when George Lucas first created the original Star Wars trilogy; he just returned to it at the peak of Star Wars' success.
While Matrix Revolutions, Godfather Part III, and Indiana Jones 4 are each a step down from their predecessors, I still liked all of them. They weren't awesome, but they were still good and welcome parts of their franchises, in my opinion. Also, I really liked Terminator: Salvation and Phantom Menace. I would put Spider-Man 3 and Batman & Robin on this list before the ones I just defended.
ShowOff_RZ Terminator Salvation I thought was pretty good. Terminator 3 should have been on this list, it was just horrible. young John Conner completely deviated from his character it was almost parody. And I totally agree with you on Indiana Jones 4, I wish I could un-see it. just so it wont tarnish my memory of the original trilogy.
Man TRON was an awesome movie. CGIs and Music by Daft Punk was AMAZING. Yeah acting was not great and story was okay but i really enjoyed. It should not be there in the list, in-fact fudge you watchmojo, Ima watch it RIGHT NOW.
Idk man. I really loved it. It was perfect for me except couple of things like acting and as tomi said 'story' etc but music and direction was really good. Music was on point as it should be for a World like that and CGI were really top notch, what I would expect in a gaming world. BUT if they are talking about disappointment (how much money the movie made) then mojo could be write. It's my personal POV
It wasn't a great movie, but for different reasons other than what watchmojo says. The plot moved slower than a snail. They could of cut 30 minutes off the length of the film and I would of felt I would of got my money's worth. What's more telling is that I watched with with a large group of schoolchildren as part of a job during school holidays. Halfway through the movie they were starting to ask the adults when the movie was going to be over.
One of my biggest beefs with Airbender was the terrible depiction of Firebending. They had to take the fire, that was already a flame instead of making it.
Eragon ripped of Star Wars with the scene where the bad guy (Darth Vader) kills one of his generals and replaces him with the first guy he sees, and then repeats the cycle.
Insanity, I can't imagine how Tron could be here. It's one of the most enjoyable movies ever. Then again this is from the same people that anticipated the remake of Godzilla, so it all makes sense.
did you see the original when it was in the theaters in the 80's? you have to have seen it in the 80's to understand why this one is a dissapointment. you will not understand why if you have seen the original in recent times and was not around to see it when it was released. IF you only have exposure to the relentless Michael Bayification/popcornification of technological and effects dependent films...the original will not be that impressive if you compare it to modern sci fi movies. the original had a good plot line and theme...this version was thin in that regard. the original was ahead of its time in regards to theme and plot philosophically and religion wise. that is why it did not do well yet became a cult classic. Just like the John Carpenter's original "The Thing" and the new remake...the 80's version is much more impressive.
The original Tron was way before it's time in my opinion, and the previous one was great it just didn't meet the expectations it had like the, well the original exceeded
I can't help but fully & completely disagree with the #10 choice of 'Tron: Legacy'. Where some would find a disappointing effort I find a Bold & original step toward the a film series that has been left so high on a pastille it was left untouched for years. The depth of content could have been deeper, but it's just as easy to become submerged in a shallow pool than it is a deeper one, when it's worth a swim. In the end I felt the way public pools always do at the end of the day; Warm, colorful, & needing some work before the next swim.
"high on a pastille"?? Do you even know what a pastille is? I think you were trying to say "pedestal" dude. God, the horrible education system churning out illiterate dummies... so sad.
It's just bad because, being based on dragon ball, it doesn't have nothing to do with the series. If that film would had nothing to do with dragon ball, but a similar premise, it could've been better
Alien 3, Alexander, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Snow White and the Huntsman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Glass, Shrek the Third, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World`s End and Suicide Squad.
You nailed it with #1. They should just re-title that movie to Episode I: The Disappointing Mess. Alien vs. Predator would (at least for me) have been a good contender for that spot. That movie took a giant shit on two of my favorite franchises. But why the third Matrix movie? The second was the bigger disappointment. Terminator Salvation was a lesser letdown than Terminator 3. Revenge of the Fallen wasn't half as big a disappointment as the first Bayformers movie. By that time, you already knew it was going to be shit.
What are you talking about? Revolutions was absolutely awful. Reloaded was pretty okay, at least it had some convincing action scenes. But Revolutions had cringe-inducing dialogue, some generic robot fight and a disappointing closure to the franchise. Revolutions is definitely the worst Matrix film. Almost nothing in it made any sense. They were hardly even trying.
TheEcthudan Sure, Revolutions was awful, but as a disappointment, Revolutions doesn't even come close to Reloaded. Just remember which movie came before it.
Hmm, I do agree that Reloaded doesn't compare favorably to the original movie. But it's not nearly as bad as Revolutions, I actually found it fairly enjoyable.
TheEcthudan The first movie set the expectations for the second, which set the expectations of the third. As I see it, the difference between 1 and 2 was bigger than the difference between 2 and 3, and when the third movie came out, most people had already lowered their expectations because the second movie was so bad.
Well, I guess I do see where you're coming from. The first movie remains the only truly great movie in the franchise. Reloaded was okay when considered on its own, but a huge disappointment when compared to the original and Revolutions was a disaster all around.
Why do people keep using that saturday night fever scene as an excuse to hate the whole of Spider-Man 3? It was meant to be funny, not taken seriously, can't you see the looks on the faces of the people around Peter? That proves it's not meant to be taken seriously! It's meant to be Peter, a nerd who lives with his 60 year old aunt, acting in a way that he thinks is "cool".
Just like Trevor said. You have to deliver on some pretty high quality content if you're going to radically change a character's personality when they have a huge fan base. For instance, if John Wayne became a comedian, if the Joker became a good guy, or if Superman decides to enjoy the finer things in life and not "waste his time" saving people anymore.
+Roy Grevelink I read a magazine where an actual mobster (yes, Mafia member) was interviewed. He liked the first two Godfather movies and disliked the third.
I agree on Salvation being much better than the third one. It paid off on a couple of things in the Terminator series. For example [SPOILER] in T3 Arnold tells John Conner that he is the one who kills him in the future then, of course, that happens in Salvation.
Tron Legacy is one of my favorite movies, and the funny thing is, I was necessarily "excited" to see it. I've always loved that sort of futuristic atmosphere (not the boring futuristic themes like Fallout), and when I saw the movie I just loved it, so much. And the game that came out around the same time was badass AF too
Tron Legacy was not disappointing. It was a near perfect, natural continuance of the story that began in Tron. The only problem I had was it seemed rushed, this is one movie that should have been split into at least two...
Jordan O'C If Disney had split the film they could have spent the first film introducing "The Grid", and developing the characters, maybe ending with Quorra rescuing Sam from Clu at The Games, and heading off to meet his father. Just like Barbossa reappeared right at the end of the second PotC movie...
Alien 3, Alexander, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Snow White and the Huntsman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Glass, Shrek the Third, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World`s End , Suicide Squad and Justice League.
Omg there were so many plot holes in that movie they literally would not have been able to make a sequel with Eldest. That movie makes me cry, what was with that durza balogna
Agreed! They skipped a huge majority of major plot points and miscast nearly everyone. Jeremy Irons is a great actor but there was no way he could have saved that abomination.
I still like Phantom Menace. Yes, I can understand the most obvious reasons why it's disliked (dialogue, Jar Jar Binks etc) but let us not forget that the Podrace is awesome, Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are really awesome and Duel of the Fates is F**KING AWESOME!
They're awesome actors, for sure, but my god were they wooden, personalityless & motivationless. That last duel with Darth Maul had no heart to it. It was just a mindless action scene. Why would the audience care if either side one? There were no stakes.
I found the duel one of the most underwhelming parts of the movie. But let's not forget that no movie with Natalie Portman in it can really be bad or boring ;)
TheSweetestCurse Agreed, that duel was awesome for the choreography, the music and the actors. We never really had a reason to dislike Maul, so it doesn´t feel like they´re fighting a bad guy. The only emotion in it is Obi-Wan when Qui-Gon dies. By the way, would Qui-Gon´s death even be sad at all if it wasn´t for Ewan´s flawless acting?
Phantom Menace has its flaws, but I think it's the best of the prequel trilogy. Liam Neeson is a big reason for that, and I find Darth Maul to be quite an effective villain, precisely because he has a Terminator-like lack of dialogue which gives him more mystery.
pisses me off how people bag on George Lucas when the fandom as a whole practically FORCED George Lucas to make these prequels. He did this on a bit of a time crunch, and yet when he gave the people what he could they sass at him. THEY WERE NOT THAT BAD PEOPLE!!! Sure they weren't the cinematic masterpieces that the previous trilogy was but Lucas was starting from scratch when he started star wars, things became different by the time the previous 3 came out. and now Lucas isn't even involved in the making of the new trilogy! Fans constantly complain when directors try to give them what they want and this rant came from "the straw that broke the camels back".
And one of the problems was Lucas's own promise to the fans. He promised that every licensed piece of media would be cannon... Sure, it sold crappy paperbacks and comics, but by the time he got around to the prequels, he was somewhat pigeonholed... You can also attribute his own success to the failure. When he made A New Hope, he was fairly unknown and inexperienced. He made some really good decisions business-wise (taking a paycut for merch rights), but the movies were a success because of the people surrounding him... Actors, FX people, etc... He got tons of help with how to do things and he took advice in stride... Fast forward to the prequels, and he was regarded as a god among movie-makers... Although he had learned quite a bit, his desires for the Star Wars franchise didn't even line up with his fans... He basically admitted as much with all of the stupid additions done to the original trilogy and him essentially burning the unaltered masters... All of it just goes to show that he had no idea what made Star Wars great... He saw all the merch he sold with R2-D2 and C3PO, so we got Jar-Jar Binks, the most annoying character to ever attempt to be a movie's comic relief... Also not sure what the hell he was thinking with Yoda... Somehow 20 or so years alone on Degobah gave him a sense of humor? The best thing he did for the franchise since the 80's was to sell it...
I really liked Terminator Salvation, Tron Legacy and Xmen. Number 1 for me should have been Prometheus. I left the theatre numb, and realised only later that I thought the film was crap!
Agreed. I was one of the many people who "didn't get" (quote from fanboys) Prometheus. I've since given it several tries, but no. It just keeps annoying me too much in too many ways; lines of dialogue and weird behavior.
JohnDoeSchmoe It's (to me) like a collection of science fiction scenes jumbled together that have nothing to do with each other. I'm a major Alien fan, have been since the first movie came out- This was the most anticipated movie EVER to me. So disappointed. :(
Agreed! I think the very "clinical" action scenes just added to the "video game"-feel of it! I really felt it was not just another world, but an entirely different reality than the world we live in. For me it''s already a classic movie.
***** Blockbusters are movies that a lot of people are willing to pay for. People like Lily are not killing cinema. At most they are changing it into a direction you might not care for. That is a matter of taste.
***** you know, i almost feel sorry for you. but listen dude not everybody is going to like what you like. no reason to feel butthurt over people not agreeing with you
The first one was overrated honestly. It tried to show the different personality between brothers, one smart but hot headed(sonny), one kind of dumb but had a heart of gold(fredo) and one who was smart, calculating and cold(Michael). The second movie really focuses on the contrast of father and son as they were Godfathers. It has seens of Vito who was an orphan created and cherish his family while his son who had a family pushed away and was cold to them. Also the acting is so much better in the second then the first.
I did enjoy Phantom Menace but I didn't like the rush ness, jar jar (because it made me laugh), bad cgi. But like is Kid Anakin, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, Fight scenes, Darth Maul, Battle Droid, Humors, Mace Windu, action sequence and Yoda.
What could you possibly have been disappointed about in that movie it was absolutely amazingcovered all clock points which is more than can be said for some other films
It really wasn't much action at all. But they managed to bring in most of the emotions from this part of the book. I do hate that they are making two movies though.
I still really don't understand the dislike of The Phantom Menace. Sure it isn't up to the standard of the first 3 films, and of course there are some weak points, but it absolutely isn't the atrocity that people try to make it out to be. It's definitely the best of the prequel films at least.
You answered it yourself: "It's not up to the standard of the first 3 films". It's not a total atrocity, but it's not a very good film either. Imagine if episodes 4-5-6 didn't come out before. No chance in hell it would have worked like it still did. And I strongly beleive that Jar Jar Binks never should have made the casting :P His only utility is that I now like C3PO much more than I did before :/
Think of it this way, You are an adult who grew up on the original 3 star wars movies, Find out more are coming, get amped up because the original 3 were good then you watch the Phantom Menace...
Horrible acting, wooden dialogue, underdeveloped characters, the only interesting characters are the two Sith Lords who have very few scenes and the entire film is about people talking politics.
Omar Harris They talk politics because the entire point of the prequels is to set up the plot of the original trilogy. It shows how the separation of the republic began.
The Last Airbender.....Ugh. I didn't think that any movie we could infuriate me more than a Star Wars prequels... until this movie. I mean seriously, the plot was awesome in the cartoons and they just butchered it. I get mad everytime I think about it!
As soon as they announced the details of the movie I was like...Well this is probably going to suck, lol. The worst part is that they probably won't attempt to do anymore movies because of this one, maybe someday someone will want to start over and try again.
I saw the movie before I saw the tv show, so I didn't know about it until it came out. That saved me the expense of waiting for it. The movies bad even if you haven't watched the show.
that part of Spiderman three where he starts trying to act smooth or whatever is excruciatingly painful to watch, like Michael Sarah in Superbad times 100
tramdr no the issue is that they have no story, they included way too much, there was no reason for Superman to do anything other than fly Max speed and kill thee joker clone that was not Lex, Lex was not in the movie, Lex is the same as Batman, represents the human pick, strong, smart, resourceful, only difference he was racists against aliens and used crime to get what he wanted
You can't go into movies expecting them to be perfect. Most of these movies were completely fine, the just "didn't live up to expectations." When it comes to sequels and remakes, ALWAYS lower your expectations.
Bad acting in Star Wars Episode 1? Bullshit, they had Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman. They acted just fine, and I actually enjoyed Darth Maul as well, rather than any other sith. People were whining about JarJar, but who gives a fuck about one character they dont like?
All of the acting in Episode 1 was forced due to bad dialogue. I rate Natalie Portman as a great actress but Eps 1-3 are her worst acting efforts by far! The top being Ep 3 WOEFUL!
'Naumber one' as in bad or good? Coz if it's good, you're really idiotic and not a true fan of the original Avatar: The Legend of Aang. I know it sounds harsh, but it's true.
Rather than use Bryan Cranston, a known and measured actor who is also charasmatic, or Ken Watanabe who is a great actor, they used the (seemingly) talentless Aaron Taylor-Johnson. His performance is nearly as bland as Kristen Stewart's and he barely has any draw with most movie-goers. The plot was pretty lackluster and felt incredibly contrived. There was no need for Cranston's character to die or to switch to Johnson's character. The motivations for Johnson's character, although appropriate, just didn't feel as compelling as Cranston's since his character's wife just so happened to be there. Even though I myself am in the military, I can firmly say that there was too much of the Army and Navy in this movie. It was pretty much 'Murica eye-porn. Godzilla did get some screen-time, it felt like whenever the giant monster fights scenes were starting to pick up, they would cut away from the fight and focus on Johnson's failed Captain America impression.
IMO, Terminator III was just okay. It was like they felt the need to patch the time continuum plot holes from the previous films, but with some ridiculous "1,000,000,000:1" odds of humans vs. machines...and humans won again (with the help of the human-machine prototype). It was a huge let down because Terminator I and Terminator II were awesome (Terminator III was awful, but there was no anticipation on that film...it just seemed to become released without any warning). I didn't see Godfather III, but Tron Legacy was AWFUL. Keep in mind they are talking about the Legacy film and not the first one. The first was great...the second was just a lazy attempt at milking a franchise.
In my opinion, Terminator salvation was: "no alcohol required" as well as TRON Legacy. They are "meh" movies and thus they are on this list, cause they seemed like damn good ones.
I've never understood the hate for Terminator:Salvation, I enjoyed it, but they are absolutely right about Crystal Skull and Phantom Menace being the biggest let downs in movie history. (Thanks, Lucas.) I'm glad they mentioned X-Men: The Last Stand and Spider-Man 3. Those movies were such complete crap.
Tron was rad, Matrix revolutions was freaking incredible, Hangover two was funny as fuck, terminator was a darker more adult film.. Watch Mojo dropped the ball here..
Charles Courtwright True, if you've read the books theres no pointin watching the movies, it'll just make you want to punch everybody that had any part in making it in the face with a pan. get it, pan? no? Nobody? ok...
Airbender was definitely the worst. Don't get me wrong. Spider-man 3 for example was awful. But despite its awfulness I still kind of enjoyed it (even though some of that was laughing at the movie). I can't say that for the Last Airbender. It has no redeeming qualities.
Agreed. I'm a fans of Avatar and Dragon Ball as a child. But those unredeemable Hollywoody version was so awful, I can't watch them through to the end... whilst the others from this list is somewhat disappointing, I still manage to sit through (although I slept in the middle of Star Wars I, II, III, Terminator Salvation, Spidy 3, and Indy Jones IV 😴😴😴).
It has to be amazing to receive any recognition if not it will be considered a failure wanna know why? Because it's Star Wars! And if it's not perfect it will enrage fans because they were so into the first 3 any other Star Wars film has to be amazing, not good not great amazing
+IOS Gaming Agreed. There's too much nostalgia to live up to. Another disadvantage The Force Awakens has is that we've seen it all, but back then it was an entirely new concept of special effects. Either way, I'm sure there's going to something really trivial to give it the 'F' grade for because it didn't live up to perfect expectations. Like you said.
+PatateTony35 It has nothing to do with nostalgia and more to do with the fact they spent a year promoting the film as some awesome new reboot of the star wars francise only for it to be a dumbed down, crappy cut and paste of the original star wars film. I saw it recently and frankly I was hoping the 1st order would win. The PC casting entailed an appalling actress who was more grating than jar jar binks and a storm trooper ( supposedly trained from to birth to be a killer) prancing around like a black stereotype. Not to mention Han and Leia who completely phoned it in as if grateful just to tag along for the ride while the new villian made Anakin Skywalker look like a stony faced hard case with all the pathetic weeping and teenage tantrums that had me eye rolling rather than feeling intimidated. Overall the film was dull, lifeless, pathetic and utterly worthless. I won't be wasting my money on the next one.
It's not that sgitty, it's just drawn out. Also, there was little anticipation for that, because everyone knew that it's a short children story made into 3 movies, so it having a lot of filler was to be expected. "The Hobbit" book wasn't even 100 pages, if I recall correctly.
DopeDo I thought The Hobbit as a book was on par and may have been better than some of the LotR books. I really had high hopes for these movies and then I saw the first and was like ehh, and then the second came out and they decided to make a guy who wasn't in the book AT ALL be the main character in the movie and they also decided to not focus on the events that happened in the book strongly enough. If this had been 1 movie only and they followed the book, I thought it could have been great. Now I'm just ready for these movies to end. I still own them, but the movies just aren't even close to Lord of the Rings
I disagree with almost all of the picks. Most of them were either not disappointing (at least not for me) or not anticipated. Perhaps the only one I agree with is The Last Airbender.
