  • Glenn Close, David Ogden Stiers, Cory Edwards, Bill Hader, Hayden Panettiere, Amy Poehler, and Patrick Warburton in Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil (2011)

    1. Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil

    20111h 26mPG20Metascore
    4.7 (14K)
    Red Riding Hood is training in the group of Sister Hoods, when she and the Wolf are called to examine the sudden mysterious disappearance of Hansel and Gretel.
    DirectorMike DisaStarsHayden PanettiereGlenn ClosePatrick Warburton
    Hoodwinked! (2005) was a good movie. But this film is NOT! The animation is inferior than the original. Cliched story with unfunny comedy. The characters are flanderized. The ending? I can't say about it. Too bad. Go watch the original instead, it's my childhood.
  • Patrick Stewart, Sean Hayes, James Corden, Anna Faris, Maya Rudolph, Rob Riggle, and T.J. Miller in The Emoji Movie (2017)

    2. The Emoji Movie

    20171h 26mPG12Metascore
    3.4 (77K)
    Gene, a multi-expressional emoji, sets out on a journey to become a normal emoji.
    DirectorTony LeondisStarsT.J. MillerJames CordenAnna Faris
    Shameless product placement. Obvious cash grab. It's boring as hell. Unfunny humor. Forgettable chaarcters. This is POOP. Wash it and forget. [insert poop emoji here]
  • The Illusionauts (2012)

    3. The Illusionauts

    20121h 22mPG
    2.3 (834)
    Magically gifted kids travel through time with a dog, battling villains attempting to alter iconic tales. Their quest: restore historical narratives while navigating temporal complexities without distorting events.
    DirectorEduardo SchuldtStarsMoisés SuárezMoisés Iván MoraJulio Morín
    A shameless The Incredibles (2004) rip-off, one of my favorite Pixar hits released in 2004 (I was born in this year). Animation and graphics are garbage. Character designs are garbage. The main villain is cliched. Music is horrendous.
  • Donny Lucas and Will Townsend in Open Season: Scared Silly (2015)

    4. Open Season: Scared Silly

    20151h 24mPG
    5.0 (4.3K)
    Elliot, Boog and all of the beloved woodland creatures are back in a brand-new comedy adventure.
    DirectorsDavid FeissFrantisek VasaStarsWill TownsendDonny LucasMelissa Sturm
    Not the best way to end Open Season franchise. This franchise was one of my favorite animated movie franchises. But this film is unneccesary, as Open Season 3 (2010) felt like a decent end to this franchise.
  • Zack Shada in Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back (2010)

    5. Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back

    20101h 16mPGVideo
    2.8 (2.2K)
    Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back follows Comet, the cool techno chimp who longs to be taken seriously as a full-fledged space chimp. Comet journeys to the fantastical Planet Malgor and bonds with the adorable alien Kilowatt, living out his ultimate fantasy. However, it's time for Comet to prove himself when the feared alien ruler Zartog takes over Mission Control! Comet must show he has the right stuff, and join fellow chimps Ham, Luna and Titan, to save the day.
    DirectorJohn H. WilliamsStarsTom KennyZack ShadaPatrick Warburton
    Alas, another worst way to end the franchise. Nothing good. Everything's empty, soulless and forced. Unfunny, janky, cheap, poorly written direct-to-video sequel. Its grasp to original material is rather poor. The voice acting is worse. Animation is worse than the original. The comedy just don't work at all. Oh, the ending is surprisingly bad, ESPECIALLY compared to the original film. Plus, the main villain Zartog is an absolute joke, as he has no impact on the story whatsoever. No redeeming factors at all.
  • Harvie and the Magic Museum (2017)

    6. Harvie and the Magic Museum

    20171h 26m
    4.1 (355)
    Harvie is a smart but a bit too lively boy with one ambition, to finish the last level of his computer game. Once in the Gamers Hall of Fame, his absent-minded father, would finally be proud of him. But finishing the game turns out to be only the start of a real adventure that takes Harvie, his dog Jerry, and his friend Monica deep into the forgotten realms of the city's old puppet museum.
    DirectorsMartin KotíkInna EvlannikovaStarsSarah NatochennyMike PollockMarc Thompson
    Aaagh! It's painful to my eyes. Lots of unnecessary plot lines and plot holes. Unlikeable characters. Atrocious story and premise. Bad execution 'n stuff. Don't watch this trash, please.
  • Ruslan Askerov, Dmitry Umerov, Vladimir Kotenko, Valeriya Migalina, and Sergey Shastin in Kids Against the Sorcerers (2016)

    7. Kids Against the Sorcerers

    Magic is slowly corrupting the world. In order to save Russia from the same fate, Ivan Tsaritsin with some help from his friends, will try to put an end to this.
    DirectorGeorgiy SkomorovskiyStarsVladimir KotenkoDmitry UmerovValeriya Migalina
    The ugliest, ridiculous, laziest and hilariously ignorant garbage sponsored by Russian church, RPC (eng. РПЦ) I feel bad due to its bad CGI graphics and awful development cycle of 5 years. Its voice acting is awful, story is poor and offensive and cliched, bad CGI graphics, hilariously bad dialogue, unlikeable characters, etc. Это ужасно. (rus. This is terrible.)
  • Wings (2012)

    8. Wings

    A few weeks before a big airshow, Ace gets his acceptance letter to take part in the competition to become the next champion.
    DirectorsOlga LopatoMelanie SimkaStarsAntonina BerezkaJeff BergGregg Berger
    NO GOD! NO GOD PLEASE NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOO! I hate it. Because of its bad attempts at humor, cheap animation, forgettable characters. Don't watch this crap. AVOID.
  • Popugay Club (2013)

    9. Popugay Club

    2013
    2.7 (60)
    DirectorVitaliy MukhametzyanovStarsElena BorshchyovaAleksey BuldakovZhanna Friske
    Failed attempt at adapting popular Russian show TNT (eng. ТНТ), Comedy Club. Epic fail. Man, the voice talents are wasted. Thank god it didn't aired on big screen theaters.
  • Jeff Bergman, Hilary Duff, and Edie McClurg in Foodfight! (2012)

    10. Foodfight!

    20121h 31mPG
    1.3 (12K)
    The evil Brand X joins a supermarket that becomes a city after closing time.
    DirectorLawrence KasanoffStarsHilary DuffHaylie DuffCharlie Sheen
    Arguably the worst animated movie of all time. Stolen assets, poor graphics, bad animation, annoying characters, abysmal voice acting, unfunny humor, bad execution and the story is a mess. The entire movie is a mess.
  • Nicolas Cage, Penélope Cruz, Jon Favreau, and Tracy Morgan in G-Force (2009)

    11. G-Force

    20091h 28mPG41Metascore

    A specially trained squad of guinea pigs is dispatched to stop a diabolical billionaire from taking over the world.
    DirectorHoyt YeatmanStarsWill ArnettPenélope CruzZach Galifianakis
    Huh, this is the fakest-looking guinea pig gang I've ever seen. The acting for humans is bland. Characters are generic and forgettable.
  • Yifei Liu in Mulan (2020)

    12. Mulan

    To keep her ailing father from serving in the Imperial Army, a fearless young woman disguises herself as a man and battles northern invaders in China.
    DirectorNiki CaroStarsYifei LiuDonnie YenGong Li
    Alas, the Disney's epic bruh moment. It panders to China, by crediting to Chinese goernment, as well the infamous Xinjiang camp. Hell, even Disney defended it, which is NOT a good idea. Disney remakes might feel like a cash grab.
  • Fathia Youssouf, Médina El Aidi-Azouni, Esther Gohourou, and Ilanah Cami-Goursolas in Cuties (2020)

    13. Cuties

    Eleven-year-old Amy starts to rebel against her conservative family's traditions when she becomes fascinated with a free-spirited dance crew.
    DirectorMaïmouna DoucouréStarsFathia YoussoufMédina El Aidi-AzouniEsther Gohourou
    Ewwww! This the most disgusting Netflix original movie I've ever seen in my entire life. It's also boring as hell, and its message is rather hypocritical. Characters are unlikeable and mean-spirited, and the cinematography is disgusting. It ruined Netflix's reputation into such a disgusting state, and it cost Netflix a whooping $9 billion, causing the stocks to plummet. Oh, and the translation of the French title itself is already a red flag.
  • GTFO: Get the F&#% Out (2015)

    14. GTFO: Get the F&#% Out

    A documentary about women in gaming.
    DirectorShannon Sun-HigginsonStarsLeigh AlexanderJenny HaniverRobin Hunicke
    This is the most dishonest, disastrous and shallow video game analysis I've ever seen. This documentary is full of lies, and it's a pure propaganda! It also demonizes gamers and treats them like garbage. This is all your fault, pseudo feminists and video game haters!
  • Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Keri Russell, J.J. Abrams, Lynn Robertson Bruce, Hassan Taj, Oscar Isaac, Brian Herring, Jimmy Vee, Dave Chapman, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Robin Guiver, Daisy Ridley, Lee Towersey, Joonas Suotamo, and Naomi Ackie in Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

    The surviving Resistance faces the First Order once again.
    DirectorJ.J. AbramsStarsDaisy RidleyJohn BoyegaOscar Isaac
    A textbook example of how not to end an once-renowned epic science fantasy space opera franchise. The toy line. The TV shows. The novels. The comic books. Almost everything it's done. So many continuity errors worse than The Last Jedi (seriously, much worse). A massive disappointment for every commin-sensed and hardcore fans of Star Wars franchise. What a shame.
  • Alan Cumming, Bob Hoskins, Traylor Howard, Jamie Kennedy, Bear, Liam Falconer, and Ryan Falconer in Son of the Mask (2005)

    16. Son of the Mask

    Tim Avery, an aspiring cartoonist, finds himself in a predicament when his dog stumbles upon the mask of Loki. Then after conceiving an infant son "born of the mask", he discovers just how looney child raising can be.
    DirectorLawrence GutermanStarsJamie KennedyTraylor HowardAlan Cumming
    There is no Jim Carrey, who played the titular Mask and done funny, cartoony and creative things. There is even a god-awful grasp of the source material. Big OOF!
  • Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

    17. Fifty Shades of Grey

    20152h 5mR46Metascore
    4.2 (349K)
    Literature student Anastasia Steele's life changes forever when she meets handsome, yet tormented, billionaire Christian Grey.
    DirectorSam Taylor-JohnsonStarsDakota JohnsonJamie DornanJennifer Ehle
    Why did they make a movie out of already bad book? Because it's a cult book! And the movie is also bad. Here's why: No chemistry between Christian and Ana. The main characters are unliekable, like Christian being stalker and lacking chemistry towards Ana (which is more like an abuse), and Ana being a rip-off of Bella from Twilight and an Mary Sue. The acting is bad, and the writing is stupid. Also the portrayal of BDSM and bondage is so wrong and inaccurate that you'll might be injured and hurt so badly. Fifty Shades of Grey? More like Fifty Shades of TRASH.
  • Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in Fifty Shades Darker (2017)

    18. Fifty Shades Darker

    20171h 58mR33Metascore
    4.6 (118K)
    While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her.
    DirectorJames FoleyStarsDakota JohnsonJamie DornanEric Johnson
    Every sequel hs a dark side. Fifty Shades Dumber is no exception. Also, do you remember The Chronicles of Riddick poster on Ana's room? Many hated this because of riducile and stupidity. Anyway, chemistry, writing and acting are still bad. This movie is still bad.
  • Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in Fifty Shades Freed (2018)

    19. Fifty Shades Freed

    20181h 45mR31Metascore
    4.6 (80K)
    Anastasia and Christian get married, but Jack Hyde continues to threaten their relationship.
    DirectorJames FoleyStarsDakota JohnsonJamie DornanEric Johnson
    Looks like you've missed the climax. What's the climax, you ask? The awful franchise is finally over! No more! To add insult to injury, this movie is STILL as bad as the previous installments.
  • Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck in Gigli (2003)

    20. Gigli

    20032h 1mR18Metascore
    2.7 (52K)
    Larry Gigli is assigned by a crime boss to kidnap the brother of a prominent district attorney, and a beautiful woman known only as Ricki is sent to stay with him to make sure he doesn't mess up the job.
    DirectorMartin BrestStarsBen AffleckJennifer LopezJustin Bartha
    Before Fifty Shades Trilogy and Twilight Saga movies with no good chemistry, we got this worse movie, except Fifty Shades of Grey released in 2015 and Twilight was released in 2008. Still worse story than Twilight.
  • William Fichtner, Will Arnett, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard, Johnny Knoxville, Megan Fox, Alan Ritchson, and Pete Ploszek in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

    21. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    20141h 41mPG-1331Metascore
    5.8 (226K)
    When a kingpin threatens New York City, a group of mutated turtle warriors must emerge from the shadows to protect their home.
    DirectorJonathan LiebesmanStarsMegan FoxWill ArnettWilliam Fichtner
    Michael Bay's stereotypes have hit a new low. Megan Fox's acting as April is worse than in Transformers one, the CGI mutant reptiles look like a fursuit used in furry conventions, but cheaper, story and premise are cliched and non-sensical, and humor is bland. Aw man, Ninja Turtles are screwed up into cash grab. BIG OOF!
