- DirectorScott HicksStarsZac EfronTaylor SchillingBlythe DannerA Marine travels to Louisiana after serving three tours in Iraq and searches for the unknown woman he believes was his good luck charm during the war.Based on a Nicholas Sparks novel and it has Zac Efron as a romantic lead. Yep, this was destined to suck.
- DirectorFrank CoraciStarsKevin JamesSalma HayekHenry WinklerA high-school biology teacher looks to become a successful mixed martial arts fighter in an effort to raise money to prevent extracurricular activities from being axed at his cash-strapped school.It's another not funny Kevin James "comedy". Does it really shock anyone that this made it into the list?
- DirectorOlivier MegatonStarsLiam NeesonFamke JanssenMaggie GraceIn Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter.Its like a neutered version of the original with more Maggie Grace. Did we really need more Maggie Grace? You can be the judge of that.
- DirectorSean AndersStarsAdam SandlerAndy SambergLeighton MeesterWhile in his teens, Donny fathered a son, Todd, and raised him as a single parent until Todd's 18th birthday. Now Donny resurfaces just before Todd's wedding after years apart, sending the groom-to-be's world crashing down.That's My Boy finishes the Adam Sandler trifecta that started in 2011.
- DirectorRob CohenStarsTyler PerryMatthew FoxRachel NicholsA homicide detective is pushed to the brink of his moral and physical limits as he tangles with a ferociously skilled hired killer who specializes in torture and pain.Tyler Perry as an action hero.... For real?
- DirectorChris RenaudKyle BaldaStarsZac EfronTaylor SwiftDanny DeVitoA 12-year-old boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.Worst animated movie of the year.
- DirectorPeter BergStarsAlexander SkarsgårdBrooklyn DeckerLiam NeesonA fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.A blatant Transformer's ripoff. I can't believe there's actually directors out there who want to emulate Michael Bay.
- DirectorBill CondonStarsKristen StewartRobert PattinsonTaylor LautnerAfter the birth of Renesmee/Nessie, the Cullens gather other vampire clans in order to protect the child from a false allegation that puts the family in front of the Volturi.Oh, come on we all knew it was coming. And we all knew it was gonna suck.
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsAaron Taylor-JohnsonTaylor KitschBlake LivelyPot growers Ben and Chon face off against the Mexican drug cartel who kidnapped their shared girlfriend.Blake Lively's narration is nauseating. Why does she keep getting work? She can't act! Still, that aside the movie still sucks, and the worst part of it is it had potential. Poor Taylor Kitsch, this was a tough year for him.
- DirectorLen WisemanStarsColin FarrellBokeem WoodbineBryan CranstonA factory worker, Douglas Quaid, begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting Rekall - a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led - goes wrong and he finds himself on the run.While the 1990 version was original and fresh, and was also a satire like most Paul Verhoeven movies, this one is a forgettable, bland, boring, generic action movie.
- DirectorMcGStarsReese WitherspoonChris PineTom HardyC.I.A. operatives wage an epic battle on each other when they discover they are dating the same woman.I'm sorry Tom Hardy. I love you, but no. Hey, at least he made up for it with TDKR.
- DirectorJohn GulagerStarsDanielle PanabakerVing RhamesDavid HasselhoffAfter the events at Lake Victoria, the pre-historic school of blood-thirsty piranhas make their way into a newly opened waterpark.While the first one was ridiculous, over-the-top fun, this one was just stupid.
- DirectorBradley ParkerStarsJesse McCartneyJonathan SadowskiOlivia Taylor DudleySix tourists hire an extreme tour guide who takes them to the abandoned city Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. During their exploration, they soon discover they are not alone.Boring.........................
- DirectorMark NeveldineBrian TaylorStarsNicolas CageCiarán HindsIdris ElbaJohnny Blaze, tortured by the Ghost Rider's curse, gets a chance of redemption through protecting the Devil's son, whose father is pursuing him.This was a chance for redemption for the Ghost Rider series, and it failed miserably.
- DirectorHeitor DhaliaStarsAmanda SeyfriedJennifer CarpenterWes BentleyA woman is convinced her kidnapper has returned when her sister goes missing.This is just another forgettable boring thriller.
- DirectorKirk JonesStarsCameron DiazMatthew MorrisonJ. Todd SmithFollows the lives of five interconnected couples as they experience the thrills and surprises of having a baby and realize that no matter what you plan for, life does not always deliver what is expected.Why does this exist? Who asked for it? Did someone really read the manual and say there really needs to be a crappy romantic movie based on this.
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsMilla JovovichSienna GuilloryMichelle RodriguezAlice fights alongside a resistance movement to regain her freedom from an Umbrella Corporation testing facility.This franchise sucks!
- DirectorTyler PerryStarsTyler PerryGabrielle UnionThandiwe NewtonBusinessman Wesley Deeds is jolted out of his scripted life when he meets Lindsey, a single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building.Tyler Perry movie of year. Like anything he does its pretty bad.
- DirectorTodd LincolnStarsAshley GreeneSebastian StanTom FeltonA couple is haunted by a supernatural presence that is unleashed during a college experiment.What a boring horror movie.
- DirectorWilliam Brent BellStarsFernanda AndradeSimon QuartermanEvan HelmuthIn Italy, a woman becomes involved in a series of unauthorized exorcisms during her mission to discover what happened to her mother, who allegedly murdered three people during her own exorcism.Worst ending ever!
- DirectorJulie Anne RobinsonStarsKatherine HeiglJason O'MaraDaniel SunjataUnemployed and newly-divorced Stephanie Plum lands a job at her cousin's bail-bond business, where her first assignment puts her on the trail of a wanted local cop from her romantic past.Katherine Heigl please retire.
- DirectorPeter HedgesStarsJennifer GarnerJoel EdgertonCJ AdamsA childless couple bury a box in their backyard, containing all of their wishes for an infant. Soon, a child is born, though Timothy Green is not all that he appears.Overly sentimental BS.
- DirectorBrian RobbinsStarsEddie MurphyCliff CurtisKerry WashingtonAfter stretching the truth on a deal with a spiritual guru, literary agent Jack McCall finds a Bodhi tree on his property. Its appearance holds a valuable lesson on the consequences of every word he speaks.No wonder this was put on hold for two years.
- DirectorMåns MårlindBjörn SteinStarsKate BeckinsaleMichael EalyIndia EisleyWhen human forces discover the existence of the Vampire and Lycan clans, a war to eradicate both species commences. The vampire warrior Selene leads the battle against humankind.God this is such a stupid franchise.
- DirectorMichael SucsyStarsRachel McAdamsChanning TatumSam NeillA car accident puts Paige in a coma, and when she wakes up with severe memory loss, her husband Leo works to win her heart again.Another movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel. Really? Did we really need two in one year?
- DirectorRoger MichellStarsBill MurrayLaura LinneyOlivia WilliamsThe story of the love affair between FDR and his distant cousin Margaret "Daisy" Suckley, centered around the weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of the United Kingdom visited upstate New York.Probably the most insulting movie ever made. FDR is surely rolling in his grave. There are somethings about my presidents I don't wanna know. And one of those things is their sex life!
