Worst movie of the year!

Luckily, I haven't seen Epic Movie. The trailer was already too much for me. Scary Movie 4 is probably the worst big-budget movie I've ever seen, followed by original Casino Royale.

I know. I don't know why I torture myself anymore with these movies. Perhaps I keep thinking that they will recapture some kind of Airplane! magic, yet it never happens.

you nailed another one... so i must appologize for having to correct myself... i also did not finish chuck and larry... HORRIBLE!!!!!

and if you mention transformers as worst movie of the year... you need to state why other than "so different from the original cartoon/toys"

You need to stop telling others what to do. Jus' sayin'.

And I have to say Ghost Rider is clearly the worst film I saw in 2007. I honestly expected it to be a decent time waster, but then it was like a redneck version of The Crow, sort of, with motorcyle jumpin' and Nic Cage's dumb as dirt performance...and I actually had to roll my eyes and turn it off when he turned into the Ghost Rider. What works on the printed page looks like a 12 year old made it up on the big screen apparently.

Not worst so much as wasted potential goes to License to Wed, which I saw in NYC with my then G/F. (we were both big fans of The Office, and the film has 3 actors from that show in it!) If it weren't for the fact that Mandy Moore comes off as a pampered, entitled b*tch thats impossible to like, I almost would have given this a pass. I blame this movie for us breaking up like less than two weeks after seeing it. (joking!)

(I actually liked Blades of Glory, however. Sue me, Will Ferrell makes me laugh.)

Rush Hour 3

Though recently i saw a film that came close but can't remember what it was.

Hmmm...too many to count. Where shall I begin? This year has been both a blessing and a curse. Here is the scum from the bottom of the barrel:

Epic Movie (Ouch...I apologized to the people I saw this with)
The Brothers Solomon (I love ya Mr. Arnett, and I will probably pick this one up because I am a loyal fan, but wow. Writing just isn't Mr. Forte's forte.)
Hitman (Horrible writing, horribly shot, and even Olyphant is off the mark here, and no, that is not a hitman joke. It is a statement of unfortunate fact. This film attempted to hook the audience without any bait.)
The Simpsons Movie (Yes, I said it. I have been a fan of the show for over a decade, and that was the problem with this flick. It was the same stuff I have been laughing at all along. The fact that it also turns into an animated version of An Inconvienent Truth doesn't help here either. Perhaps if I hadn't set my hopes so high...)

I Am Legend (Okay, it had its moments for sure, but on the whole, this film is a collection of squandered opportunities and one of the most anticlimactic endings of the year. I understand staying true to the book, but things could have been done differently from a visual standpoint. It just feels like we are being robbed. Plus, the CGI infected were less than impressive. Whatever happened to quality makeup work. An army of beautifully constructed apes were brought to us in 1968, and all of them created by hand with care. Where has that passion gone? Apparently it is stored on a jump drive somewhere.)

simpsons movie rocks ! and of course the I am legend is just phenomenal

While I agree that the CGI work in IAL wasn't up to what it could have been, I would personally disagree on calling it a "worst of 2007" movie. It had its issues, but it also had many fine points, not the least of which was Will Smith's performance in general, especially since for large portions of the film, he was the only person there acting.

As for the beautifully constructed apes you mention (from Planet of the Apes I assume)... Well, for their time it was pretty good work, and it certainly had to have been quite a bit of labor to create such elaborate costuming, but beautifully constructed, I personally wouldn't go that far...

Yes I mean Planet of the Apes and I am just pointing out the articulation and attention to detail, the love the makeup artists must have had for the project in order to put in those painstaking hours. It just seems like that sort of care has started to fade these days.

I was pretty good this year about avoiding tripe and the only ones that slipped under my radar were:

TMNT
I was kind of excited for this based on two things: I loved the original movies as a kid and the trailer actually made it look good. My problem with the movie may seem silly considering the thing is about talking turtles that kung-fu fight, but I really hated the story for being so ridiculous. Those monsters were waiting dormant and unnoticed by mankind for thousands of years (which in and of itself is impossible) only to reunite in New York City to... what? They all just end up getting captured. Did I miss the part where the villain set up some sort of beacon that drew the monsters to the city? Also, the fight scenes were majorly underwhelming, which really sucks because half the movie consisted of fight scenes. I hate this film.

Smokin' Aces
The characters weren't likable. The comedy fell flat. The action was basic and uninspired. The story developed awkwardly because of all the weak intros to the weak characters. The payoff didn't payoff. Yup, those are my bottom-line feelings about this movie. Jeremy Piven was good though.

I'll wait till December 31st to answer this thread.

you expect to see more films huh? LOL

Fair enough. I won't be addressing my top twenty-five until then either.

I'll be doing it much later than that.
