Worst Films of the Decade

From Larry the Cable Guy to Antonio Banderas, these actors should have said no

(Newser) – Some films—including a few released mere weeks ago (we’re looking at you, All About Steve)—are just plain bad. Rotten Tomatoes compiles the absolute worst 100 of the decade so far. A sampling from the top 10, aka the bottom 10:

  • Witless Protection: “Larry the Cable Guy continues his critical losing streak with this insipid, tasteless caper comedy.”
  • Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2: “Superbabies continues to prove that bad jokes still aren’t funny when coming out of a toddler’s mouth.”

  • National Lampoon’s Gold Diggers: “It aspires to Farrelly-level offensiveness, but the PG-13 rating and a dearth of decent gags renders Gold Diggers tame, toothless, and dull.”
  • Pinocchio: “Roberto Benigni misfires wildly with this adaptation of Pinocchio, and the result is an unfunny, poorly-made, creepy vanity project.”
  • One Missed Call: “One of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes, One Missed Call is undone by bland performances and shopworn shocks.”
  • Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever: This "startlingly inept film" occupies the No. 1 spot. It "offers overblown, wall-to-wall action without a hint of wit, coherence, style, or originality.”

Transformers 2 should be on top of this list as an end all be all to Michael Bay. If anyone has time, please visit this link...It's an awesome review of Transformers 2, and proof that this movie is the worst http://www.toplessrobot.com/20...

How about the Oceans 11/12/13 films and, well, all George Clooney movies. They are really bad.
