Worst Movie Ever - Comic Book Guy


Hey hey, it's that time of the year again. We'll start the new year as usual with Top 10 Horrendous flick of the year.Basically this year most of the ones in my bad movie list are the ones I'm disappointed with, not necessarily bad but disappointed. Also sadly, most of the bad movies in this list are horror flicks, I guess I'm more judgmental on horror genre.So here goes 

10. Riddick
It's not really a bad movie. However ...well let me quote the reviews that I agree with from the net "this is not the Riddick movie I wanted" & " I waited 14 years for THIS!!!"  ...It's a letdown to say the least.

Saving grace : surprise surprise the addition of  Katee Sackhoff as a kickass macho chic was superb. You see once upon a time I hated this chic, HATED! It's all because of her so annoying character in Halloween Resurrection. I swore her off there n then. But in Riddick? Such a vast improvement, Kudos to her

9. Penanggal

I don't wanna say much bout this one other than "this is my new Saint Ange" ..those who are close to me would understand.

Saving grace : well at least visually it's stunning..I'll give em that.

8. Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters

So...where the monsterS? Plural ok! Percy 2 is not really THAT bad, but I'm disappointed with it. To compare with the first flick the budget looks to have been cut down massively , heck they even replaced Pierce Brosnan with Anthony Stewart (which is not bad but I want Mr Bond!), and the challenges Percy met in this installment was downright laughable , the big bad was defeated by just one stab..COME ON!

Saving grace : the cameo from Nathan Fillion ..funny!

7. G.I Joe Retaliation

Bad guy sux, I don't feel any dread from em. I believe from the get go the GI Joe's are gonna beat the living crap out of the bad guys. There's no sense of danger at all...and...I fell asleep like the first 15 min..LOL

Saving grace : the fight scene at the mountains was kinda cool...KINDA

6. Hansel and Gretel : Witch Hunters

Great concept but BADLY executed...awesome looking witches, NOT USED to the fullest!, ya that's it

Saving grace : there's an troll named Edward, I laughed so hard


5. Among friends

Oh my what the hell is this crap, I watched this solely cause Danielle Harris helm the director's chair. And for someone very familiar with the horror genre, I can't believe this is the best that she can come up with. The acting was appalling the shock factor was...well non existent. Bad bad movie

Saving Grace : nada

4. R.I.P.D

I guess Ryan Reynolds don't have much luck in comic book adaption flicks. He should stop now cause RIPD is just lame...so lame. It's the kind of flick that you watch and 10 mins after you forget all bout it.

Saving grace : like my last statement above...I don't remember anything.

3. Fright Night 2 2013

I...I.. sigh, this one was bad. Could the just have made a follow up to the first remake flick. Sure it ain't a masterpiece but at least people can relate to it more. What we got is a kinda rehash idea from the original 80s flick but set in foreign country (not US)...boo!

Saving Grace : 1 name , Jaime Murray

2.Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D

The quality of tcm flicks seem to go lower with each new entry. A pity cause I dig leatherface. This new entry is just blagh..they should just stop trying hard and just focus on the chase and kills. Look at Friday the 13th flick, it's not mindblowing but at least you got the awesome kills! And add more cast member, remember what randy said in Scream 2. Body count should be more!

Saving grace : the dames in the flick, they're hot!

1.The Last Exorcism 2

I'm well aware that this is not The Last Exorcism 2 poster, but it should've been!
Tsk tsk such a waste, the first flick was good. The last few frames are one of the most $$#×ed up images in horror history. So you can imagine my excitement going in the cinema to watch this. But I got none of the elements I like from the first flick. The makers should have just stayed back at the farm, the different approach/angle they were going for just...did..not...work.

Saving grace : eh none of that here

so that's it...horrible mentions : Oblivion and Epic for being so bloody boring.  Sharknando for being way too silly. The Purge which was saved because of the interesting concept and also it made me think."what if" ..and Olympus has Fallen for being stupid boom boom flick. Vikingdom could've made the list as well but I feel asleep throughout the movie so that does not count...or does it? hmmm

2014

God honest truth, I did not expect such great movies this year, I dunno bout you guys but it's really hard to narrow down to a mere top 20 flicks of the year...but right now like what I previously did on this blog (except last year) I'm noting down the flicks I can't wait for in 2014. So here goes 2014 flicks in random order (except #1 :D)..

Nurse 3D 
I've been waiting for this one since 2 years back, it was even in my 2013 movie to watch out for. It's your typical thriller with a mad chick antagonist really..but it's the kind of flick I dig. So.. (the 3D kinda pushing the envelope a lil bit too far though)



300 : Rise of an Empire
Tonight we dine in Hell! There!..am so there!

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
More ape-shit fun! Plus I wanna see what is in store next for Ceaser

Godzila 2013
I had no beef with the previous US version, It was a fun ride. But this one looks far out! Gotta check this out for sure


Devil's Due
One of the more better looking horror flicks for next year



Rec 4 : Apocalypse
I'm so excited for this one, Angela was a strong and cute lead..and I love all 3 previous flick + plus the american remake. Hope this one comes out at the cinema


Friday the 13th 2014 (if it comes out 2014)
The 13th Friday the 13th!...of course I wanna see this one, hope it's a battle royale between the previous survivors and Jason...wooot I'm peeing in my pants just thinking bout it.

Hunger Games Mockingjay I
I was just okay with the first flick (it felt like a tame down version of Battle Royale) but the 2nd one woaaah. Was impressed with Catching Fire, I saw it twice and really really can't wait to see what's in store for the next flick

The Hobbit : There and Back Again
Like Hunger Games, the first flick was meh, And then came Desolation of Smaug and woaaah was that a great flick..and the ending was one of the most !@$!@% ending screaming "we want more" ending ever!...so yeah I want to see the last Hobbit flick ASAP

X-Men Days of Future Past
Hello, big X-men fan here .. some fanboys are unhappy with the direction Singer is going with..but hey the dude gave 2 great X-men flick..one I even deemed as the best superhero flick ever. So give Singer a chance..plus the trailer rocks hard! *please...we need you to hope again*


Honorable Mention
Maleficent  : looks hot
The Amazing Spiderman 2
Guardians of the Galaxy : good comic book could be a great movie
Wolf Creek 2
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Edge of Tomorrow : tom is good in picking great action flicks (well except Oblivion)
Paranormal Activity : Marked Ones
