  1. This is a mechanical gore-fest that offers preposterous stunts in place of escalating tension and waxwork mannequins in place of marginally interesting characters.
  2. Season of the Witch teeters on the edge of slipping into the "so bad it's good" camp, but ultimately ends up being merely bad.
  3. When it comes to comedy, Deck the Halls is remarkably tedious.
  4. This a neutered Garfield, one part tomcat and three parts pussy, recognizable only by his orange coat and love of lasagna. This feline's got a serious case of mange.
  5. Beverly Hills Ninja is essentially a one-joke film.
  6. It's astounding how a movie this long could accomplish so little.
  7. Did You Hear about the Morgans? Yes and, to be perfectly frank, I wish I had been spared the experience.
  8. In a way, it's probably unfair to blame director Tamra Davis exclusively for this debacle. After all, she's toiling in the shadow of a would-be multi-media superstar, making her essentially a hired gun.
  9. If ever a romantic comedy is going to fail at the box office, this is it. The movie isn't a guy's thing, a girl's thing, or anybody else's thing.
  10. A catastrophe. This motion picture is an embarrassment to all involved.
  11. I wonder if Gamer might make a good game; it certainly doesn't make a good movie.
  12. Wild Hogs is more tired, worn out, and sagging than its protagonists - an arthritic comedy whose humor is below mediocre and whose drama is cringe-worthy.
  13. It's not scary, it's not chilling, and it's not interesting.
  14. Unfortunately for the poor viewer trapped into sitting through this 95 minute mess, the humor is both conventional and unfunny, the script never takes any chances, and the ending is a cop-out.
  15. It's crass, cruel, and borderline offensive, but the laughs that could redeem all of that are missing. Material as bad as the tripe that comprises Norbit can be endured only if there's a payoff. In this case, the point seems to be that some actors will do anything for a buck.
  16. Twisted is a D-grade thriller with an A-list cast. It's a disappointment from start to finish...But, in the final quarter-hour, it committed the unpardonable sin of insulting my intelligence.
  17. The lackluster acting and horrendous dialogue don't help.
  18. Echelon Conspiracy is a more evocative title than a movie this stupid deserves.
  19. This film is unable to involve, entertain, or titillate. Basically, it stinks.
  20. Tideland is, by turns, a complete bore and a creepy experience. And I don't mean "creepy" in a positive sense.
  21. Every once in a while, a movie comes along that is so boring and pointless, that those faithful movie-goers who never walk out on a film have to find some alternative to watching the mind- numbing stupidity unfolding on the screen.
  22. Just plain bad. Boring. Unwatchable.
  23. This movie is bad from top to bottom, front to back, and start to finish.
  24. Director Rick Friedberg (who made the "bad golf" videos with Leslie Nielsen) has crafted a dreadfully unfunny comedy that takes Naked Gun-like sketches and rehashes them without a whit of style or energy.
  25. Too much of Jason X plays it straight, and that means boredom. Murder and mayhem of this sort quickly becomes monotonous.
  26. This is a tedious and insulting motion picture. The only ones likely to be surprised by the payoff are those who understandably dozed off fifteen minutes into the proceedings.
  27. Surprise of surprises, Revolver turns out to be worse than "Swept Away" - and not just by a little bit.
  28. Perhaps the only way to approach Abduction that will not result in a 105-minute boredom-induced coma is to think of it as a comedy, preferably with a drinking game attached. There are laughs to be had, although none of them are intentional.
  29. It represents a missed opportunity on every level. As a black comedy, it fails. As a satire of the bloated wedding industry, it fails. As a drama about friendship triumphing over all, it fails.
  30. Uninspired and painfully familiar.
  31. If there is another challenger for worst entry of 2007, I don't want to see it.
  32. This is as witless as movies come -- an unamusing, moronic blend of horrible acting and inept screenwriting.
  33. Godsend is godawful.
  34. There are stretches when it becomes tedious and insufferably self important. There's even a late scene in which the movie turns preachy.
  35. Speed 2 can be numbered among the worst second chapters ever made.
  36. This is as dreadful a holiday offering as you're likely to find this year. A lump of coal would be more welcome.
  37. If there's anything to like about The Bounty Hunter, it's Christine Baranski doing a Joan Rivers impersonation.
  38. A preposterous thriller where the only thing more disappointing than the ending is the 93 minutes it takes to get there.
  39. If there's a blessing, it's that the sequel isn't appreciably worse than the original - but that's slim praise considering how bad the first one was.
  40. Fox should be paying potential viewers not to walk out of this turkey. The plot has all the depth and originality of a video game without the fun of the interactivity.
  41. The Informers is nihilism for nihilism's sake; a bleak and borderline-unwatchable collage of misanthropes, self-absorbed a**holes, and pathetic weaklings as they struggle to move forward during the early 1980s in Los Angeles.
  42. The Last Airbender is an insult to anyone with a triple-digit I.Q. and a willingness to use it inside the confines of a movie theater. This is bad filmmaking and bad storytelling. It also sounds what should be the death knell to M. Night Shyamalan's career.
  43. Chase, like his Vacation movies, are things of the past. This is a series that should have died with the '80s. Instead, inexplicably, it has limped on into the '90s.
  44. 95 minutes of unrelieved tedium.
  45. What's wrong with this movie? A better question might be: What's right? Every attempt at comedy is not only obvious but delivered in such a forced manner that any hope of generating laughter dies before the joke has been told.
  46. No movie could be more aptly compared to raw sewage than this film.
  47. There's no evidence of craftsmanship or energy. Everything, from the plot to the execution, is plodding and obligatory.
  48. The only thing that distinguishes Species 2 is how awful it is.
  49. Can't decide whether it wants to be a black comedy, dumb farce, or sentimental sit-com.
  50. This is another one of those pointless action superhero movies that unfolds like a video game in which the viewer is unable to participate.
  51. A bad movie. No amount of perfume sprayed on talk show audiences by Madonna and her husband can eliminate the stench of failure emanating from this motion picture.
  52. Hush has three very simple problems: it's incredibly dumb, it's incredibly boring, and it's incredibly predictable (at least up to the stupefying ending).
  53. Defined by three characteristics. It is as stupid as a decapitated worm. It is as irritating as a mosquito buzzing around one's head. And it is as funny as "Schindler's List."
  54. The ineptitude of the movie's drama is matched only by the failure of its humor.
  55. One of the dumbest thrillers to arrive it theaters in a long time.
  56. Despite having the same title and a similar premise to a 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis flick (kids getting slaughtered on prom night), this is NOT a remake. In fact, it really doesn't have much of a plot. It's basically "The O.C." with a body count.
  57. Epic Movie is a waste of time. It's like a bad issue of "Cracked Magazine" come to life. It's not so much painful as it is sleep inducing.
  58. Unless you derive pleasure from watching Lohan being tortured, there's no reason to subject yourself to this movie. Besides, if that's your goal, all you have to do is turn on tabloid TV. There's Lindsay's living hell of a life, being broadcast 24/7.
  59. This film is like a shiny, red apple that's rotten to the core -- despite slick direction and a glossy sheen, it reeks of decay. Showgirls isn't a good drama, a good thriller, or even good pornography.
  60. Things might have been okay if this film had gone someplace, anyplace, but it stalls early, then coasts through an hour of minimally-amusing material before screeching to an amazingly improbable stop.
  61. Mixed Nuts makes a point of stating that there's magic at Christmas. After seeing this movie, I'm a believer. After all, it's virtually impossible to come up with an alternate explanation of how something this awful could make it to theaters across the nation.
  62. The most depressing thing about this movie is not that it's such a complete waste of time, but that there are people in Hollywood who think this kind of thing is what American movie-goers are interested in seeing.
  63. If you've gone to Kung Pow for the plot, you have made a mistake. Come to think of it, if you have gone for the comedy, you've also made a mistake. In fact, if you've gone at all, you've made a mistake.
  64. Fair Game is howlingly bad - so awful, in fact, that it can actually be enjoyed on a certain level.
  65. This film is an absolute mess.
  66. Once again, we have a movie where the jokes are aimed at the least common denominator - meaning that to genuinely enjoy the experience of sitting through Slackers, you will need help from a controlled substance.
  67. Even the rare individual who died laughing while watching the trailer will discover that only half of that phrase - the "dying" part - applies to the experience of enduring the film.
  68. This film has no story, no characters, and no coherence.
  69. This is bad. Not bad in a way that it might be fun to see when inebriated. Bad in a way from which only death provides immunity.
  70. A cinematic excursion so horrific that it's an insult to bad movies to call it a bad movie.
