Just cause they didn't like it doesn't mean that everyone else will feel the same. The tickets sold and what not speak the truth, not them. If a movie really sucked, then the ticket sells for that said movie would be very low. These ppl have no idea what they're talking about and the funny thing is, alot of ppl will take their word for it rather then give something a chance.

Yeah, I agree with you here..

Imagine that.....someone has an issue with one of the highest grossing movies of the year. What ever happened to that ole saying.....

If you don't have anything nice to say....don't say anything at all?

I could maybe see ROTF on that list. (and yes, I like the movie) but DOTM? Really.

Guilty by association. It's wholly unfair.

I do think the reason ROTF tops the list is because it's still so fresh in everyone's memories.

Looking through there pages and pages of top 10's and worst this and that...... Just the writers opinions mostly.

Top 10 worst awards show hosts
Top 10 car chase scenes
etc, etc, etc....

It's like, we don't have any ideas so lets just throw this dart at this dart board full of ideas and make something up. For everyone who doesn't like something, there is someone who does.

The dumbfudges who made that list can all go fudge themselves. Pearl Harbor? Godzilla? Saying ROTF is confusing? ROTF is easy as hell to understand. Dumbasses.

Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune called the movie "A work of ineffable soullessness and persistent moral idiocy." As of July 21 the film has made $303 million.

Hilarious.

Godzilla is on the list.

Yes, that's why I mentioned it.

Well, RotF was pretty awful.

It, of course, gave us the Twins, which almost rival Jar-Jar in annoyingness.

RotF was the worst movie that I've seen so far; however, I don't feel like bashing it any more, because DotM was actually pretty good.


Seeing the rest of the list: I don't see why people love to bash Howard the Duck, Godzilla, WWW or Hudson Hawk - they are fun movies. Now, Catwoman should be number 2. Worst desecration of a character ever.

The Godzilla remake was pretty terrible, and I'd imagine Wild Wild West is equally as bad. Howard the duck and Hudson Hawk, though, are on my Netflix queue. I've heard Bruce Willis say that HH was one of his favorite roles along with playing John McClane in Die Hard 1, so it piqued my interest. Plus, Howard the Duck is Howard the Duck. I want to watch that no matter how bad it is.

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.

@Lastjustice: DB evolution dude, not DB Z, the two are totally different

Optimus Primevil wrote:@Lastjustice: DB evolution dude, not DB Z, the two are totally different

(eye roles) Ok you win the pointless nitpick of the day award. I typed DBZ because it's based off said property and everyone knows what that stands for, and easier to type. Not because I'm somehow ignorant of the horrible movies title based off a so so manga/anime series. You want to call me lazy, I'm dead to rights. I'm fully aware of it...correct me on something that matters.

Get out.

Now.

they shouldve waited for conan to be released before making that list.

This stupid hate for ROTF has already pissed me off with how long its been going on. and DOTM was absolutly awsome time (dont deserve to have their name typed in caps) is full of ****.


Thats just the short and sweet version.
