My Top Ten: Worst Films of 2010



Its that time of the month where I give my Top Ten on ANYTHING!

2010 had been an interesting year in films and it is time to give both the best and worst of the year. Firstly we will be looking at the stinkers and craps that was embarrassing and excruciating to watch. These are, in my opinion, the top ten WORST films of 2010.

Before the list, let's look at some dishonorable mentions that were disappointing and underwhelming, but not exactly terrible.


Dishonorable Mentions

ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Just an excuse for Tim Burton to show off his own quirky twisted version on a classic tale that has been adapted SO many times.

CLASH OF THE TITANS
Very poor use of 3D, terrible CG, meh characters and action sequences that aren't exciting... yeah no wonder people hate this.

IRON MAN 2
Not exactly up to par with the first movie. Lacks the charm, fun and wit the first film had, even lacking some strong characters and their development and also plagued with the heavy-promotion of the upcoming Avengers movie.

THE OTHER GUYS
Could have been an very very funny film if it was over-the-top and crazy. It was the one film that was allowed to be that. But no, it has to be so boring.

THE EXPENDABLES
Hey, I wasn't expecting Citizen Kane with this film and was actually looking for a fun time. But with most of the action sequences being toned down and subpar, use of CG blood and not having the entire Expendable team utilized well, its hard for me to love this.

TRON LEGACY
So after 20 years, we finally get a sequel and.... it wasn't that great. In fact, it was more boring and convoluted than the original. Not to mention that most of this film was a huge letdown for me.


And now for the list!

10.
GET HIM TO THE GREEK



The problem with this movie is that it tries so hard to have outlandish and ridiculous setups and situations and the main characters becomes progressively more hated and unsympathetic. Russell Brand becomes more of a jerky douche and Jonah Hill becomes more of a spineless douche, especially during one scene near the end where I just questions EVERYTHING about this film.


9.
RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE



This film would be fine if it wasn't called Resident Evil. Anderson claims to be a huge fan of this game series and yet gives too much slow-mo sequences and has pointless use of the characters and items from the game because they so happens to be based on it. I call bullsh*t on that one.


8.
SEX AND THE CITY 2



While not being as painful as the first film, it is still a groan-inducing experience to sit through the mis-adventure of these four unlikable and selfish characters. Not too mention for me having a "REAAALLLY?" moment when these girls starts sending the wrong message in Abu Dahbi for what its meant to be about liberation and women rights. If its to be selfish and materialistic, revoke it.


7.
SKYLINE




You have a movie.... that is about... an alien invasion. And YET, you have decided to spend most of the film... in a FREAKIN apartment room, filled with the most uncaring group of people you could come across! And the ONLY point in the film where it starts to get good... was at the very end! If you don't have the budget to make a good alien invas


6.
MARMADUKE



Dance sequence involving CG dogs = the sign of the apocalypse


5.
LITTLE FOCKERS



The first film was a classic. The second film was actually enjoyable. This one was unnecessary shit. Playing off the same tiresome jokes we have been hearing in the past two movies and have most of the outlandish setups (with an exception of one) not being remotely funny at all. And the thing is it has to be so EXCRUCIATING and PAINFUL to watch.


4.
THE BACK-UP PLAN



This was written by someone who had seen Knocked Up and thought it was sexist and disgusting, so that person writes a version that is actually A LOT MORE sexist and disgusting, but took away the funny. GEEZ you can count the number of times people puke, clearly took a shit and the constant predictable break-up/make-up between the two despised characters that you want to destroy your TV in an animalistic rage. And that birth scene..... one of the most HORRIFYING scene ever to be put on film...


3.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE



The only excuse I have to continually watch this piece of sh*t of a series is that at least it is funny as hell. There are moments in any of the Twilight movies where it is comedy gold and you just have a hilarious fun time. And thankfully this time, it is not as bad as the godawful New Moon (however it was close!). But just because a pile of crap doesn't smell as bad as the last one, it is still a pile of crap. And you still have every awful things from vampire sparkleness, shirtless Jacob and the never-ending painful affairs of Bella, the worst character EVER to be written in literature. SCREW YOU ROYALLY, Stephanie Meyers.


2.
THE LAST AIRBENDER



You know, M. Night.... Just don't direct any more movies for probably 5 years. Maybe even 10. I don't care if its ever! Even when you move away from your typical genre of horror mystery with the twist at the end, you still can't make a good movie. You have everything to make a decent kickass movie for KIDS from the source material filled with fun characters, great action and a story that is so well written. AND YET, you have to make it so boring, lame and completely awful for a freakin Nickelodeon movie! M. Night, you just suck... Just be thankful you don't suck as much as this movie that has the word "suck" in it.


1.
VAMPIRE SUCKS




These guys, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are just the brown stain of today's film industry. While I can sense that the previous films are at least trying to offer something and just fail miserably, these guys and their films have been all about taking your money with no effort, respect and care. Always taking the lazy way in writing and preying on the lowest common denominator of audience, just for a cheap way of cash. And ESPECIALLY they go for such an EASY target, which is the Twilight series in providing such lazy and obvious jokes. They are making you PAY MONEY to watch completely lame jokes on Twilight when you could find a much better and smarter joke on Youtube for FREE! Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, fuck you and die!


So thats my Top 10. Next, we go from stinkers to shiners as I will go through the Top Ten Best of 2010.
