Geez I forgot about three video games to movie adaptations

Double Dragon

Robert Patrick dressed as Vanilla Ice a young and at the time hot actress Alyssa Milano and Scott Wolf (anyone remember that guy)

Super Mario Brothers

Somehow a movie with Bob Hoskins John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper and good god Fisher Stevens was that unbelievably terrible.

Wing Commander

Loved the game but Chris Roberts pretty much killed the franchise with this movie. First of all he changed the Kilrathi completely and they went from a cool enemy to hairless cats with a low IQ.

He took an iconic shop like the Rapter and made it look like a junk yard assembly.

Then he threw in this whole Pilgrim story line and then edited most of it out to make it a more confusing mess.

So disgustingly terrible.

Chip the glasses, crack the plates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates,
So carefully, carefully with the plates!

Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
Smash the bottles, burn the corks!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates,
So carefully, carefully with the plates!


This scene provides critical commentary on the nature of the philosophical aspects of materialism, and forshadows the Marxist examinations on the just division of wealth in the Lonely Mountain.

The Boogyman
First date with my now wife was this movie. Painful to sit through.

Lost in Translation
Had to turn it off. Just putting me to sleep. Couldn't stay with it

The Spirit
This one I MIGHT have to give another chance to, but probably not

Grown Ups 2
And I enjoyed the first one. But why? Why number 2?

Dumb & Dumber: When Harry Met Lloyd
Again, Why???????

I really need to add After Earth. A vanity piece for Will Smith to make his son a leading man, and we found out, that his son is horrible, and Will Smith playing a role with no humor is the worst actor on the planet and should be in the next Sharknado movie.

M Night Shamalan continues to show that he's a flash in the pan who discovered Lightning in a bottle with 6th Sense but is never going to be able to replicate that success again.

A terrible horrible boring movie that made me hope that Jaden Smith simply goes off to party with his Daddy's money.

Clearly your wife has never made you watch a Twilight movie. Those things make Interview with a Vampire feel like a Jason Statham movie.

As for Iron Man 3, I really hope that the Jarvis Super War Death Squad wasn't a precursor to Ultron. That really was a terrible ending. I recommend the short film 'Hail to the King', and try to pretend that was the actual ending to the movie.

I still hope for the Mickey Rourke Cut of Iron Man 2. Apparently he was so pissed off at the dumbing down of his character, he refused to do any press for the movie. It's strange that I would consider the last two Iron Mans to be weak points in the Marvel oeuvre, considering it is their flagship character.

Looking at Elysium and Chappie, it looks like Neil Blomkamp is the same kind of flash in a pan with District 9. Not at all hyped for his Aliens movie

Well there's a surprise, two movies I would never have wagered to make it into any worst movies anyone has ever seen list with Lost in Translation and Interview with a Vampire.

Each to their own but surprised none the less. I thought both were amazing character driven movies.
