Why the **** is DOTM on the list?

The Last Airbender should be in the top five, and DOTM should be gone. Period.

The Last airbender isn't number one...WTF is wrong with these people?! RoTF i can understand, low on the list, but DoTM was far better, and TLA was like a train wreck mating with a forest fire. The acting, writing, and even the effects were a bit sub par, not to mention they COMPLETLEY missed the tone of Avatar. Godzilla was a similar train wreck to me, as a fan of both franchises.

\/ Seriously, all of this! \/

The last airbender, at least in my opinion, was almost as bad as dragonball evolution...... almost....

I kind of liked Godzilla, but The Last Airbender? *shudders*

I watched the entire series just so I could go to see that movie. What a waste of an hour and a half.

The worst part? DOTM and ROTF are higher on the list than it! WTF!

I'm not really ashamed to say that I kind of liked ROTF too.

they showed the twilight movies in the philippines during the summer season...should that count? and should we forgive godzilla because there's absolutely no way there can be an american movie that would show the US military is too inept(at least in the final act they get to kick @$$)?

"the movie was only a critical failure: most reviewers thought it lacked the spirit of earlier Godzilla films."

probably because it's not supposed to be a monster battle film duh

I've never paid attention to movie critics. What they have to say is based mostly on opinion anyways. Some of those movies on that list I can agree w/, others I'm surprised they are on their. As far as I'm concerned that list is just someone's opinion.

I actually enjoyed most the films on that list. I mean the truly awful films that belonged on there that are....Such as District 9. I hate district 9 more than any recent film. It had excessive shaky cam to give me a headache, horribly written characters I wish would have all died.

It forced weak logic to make an analogy, no one acts like the real world at all.(The main character is coughing up black stuff and losing finger nails...yet doesn't want to go to hospital despite them building up how much of a wuss he is.) It's like dropping a ton of gold into middle of central park and no one picks up but one guy and he's evil because greed is bad. That's how this film crams white guilt down our throats with racism. It ignores the fact that our races flaws are very reason this scenario would never happen, the Prawns are too valueable to toss into slums. Between having better tech than us, and treating them poorly is a great way START AN INTERGALACTIC WAR! They found us once they could do it again.

You can have a story with fanastic elements, but the people have to still act like people to make the point you're making in the metaphor.(So many other properties such as Star trek, Xmen, Alien Nation have all used race metaphors superior to District 9) It failed to do this miseribly. I agree humans are greedy, and cowardly at times. That's exactly why we'd rounded them all up in some sort of Area 51 style miltary base and studied their technology while taking good care of them.(cat food and shelter are a very cheap price tag for next generation weapons and technology.) No way in world we'd ever let some half assed organization passively oversee them while gangsters trade potential weapons of mass destruction freely. No way in 30 years we couldn't have figured out how to by pass their genetic locks on their gear. Humans are too smart for that.

So yeah awful movie that says humans and racism are bad in the most pretentious and preachy way. Makes Rotf look oscar worthy by comparsion.

It does not effect me at all. I don't care what magazines like this (or any for that matter) think of the fandom or the fans.. They can piss off.

i am like you, i totally agree, I don't care.

so, District 9 was a bad movie? I liked it personally.
Dragonball evolution deserves to be a permenent #1 All time spot for worst scum of the earth movie ever spawned. Just Saiyan....

Both are bad, but District 9 bad for a whole different reason than DBZ. DBZ was a shameless cash in and minimal effort. It never showed any promise as you got what you expected as you knew what you were getting into. Distict 9 was bad because was so much wasted potential, and tried give us a nice serving of white guilt with a side of pretenicous.(Had all trappings of what critics eat up, but Rotf was atleast honest to what it was, while this movie was just as mindless yet claimed have a half arse message.) People claimed it was a good movie and it slag.(I saw D9 for free and still feel violated.) Thats why it bothers me so much more. I'd never viewed DBZ with any expectation besides something make fun of with my friends. Neither were good films no matter how you slice it.

You happen to like it that's your business, I still think easily worst I've seen since the Blaire Witch Project.Blaire Witch Project remains worst film I've ever viewed as it hasn't been dethroned but D9 definitely comes a close second.
