Yes the much, much, much delayed worst movies of 2014 is finally here. Remember this isn't the WORST movies that came out this year, these are the movies I myself hated the most or was so disappointed by. Heck some of these movies the majority of the public likes or even said was great. Not in my opinion however. I wasn't able to do this early or do a movie review at all because I got sick and could barely type. So with that note lets get on with the list.
#10 Non-Stop
I think this movie was one of the first movies I was ever mad at coming out of after seeing it. While it does have an interesting premise it has a predictable mystery (you are able to guess the guy within the first literal fifteen minutes of the movie), a slow pace, way too many coincidences, ultimately culminates in a stupid and kind of facepalm of a motivation. Really you could do a lot with a murderer on a plane scenario especially one flying over the Atlantic ocean so the pilot just can't stop somewhere they have no way out but up.
#9 Jersey Boys
I love musicals (even though I critique them more often than not) and I love movies (even though I critique them a lot of the time) this movie is neither or at the very least doesn't know what it wants to be. In parts it shows signs of a typical cheesy musical that's just for fun but in other parts it wants to be a serious drama. Yet the musical parts are barely there and the serious drama parts are rushed so fast they leave little impact. I was so excited for this movie coming out but I came out with a headache and just wondering how much time had passed.
# 8 The Expendables 3
I had never seen either the first or second Expendables movie because I was either way still a bit young to see the first one and I didn't even know the second one existed until a year later. I am so glad I didn't see those because this one was one of the most boring action movies I've seen all year.
# 7 Godzilla
Yeah I know I gave an initially a review that said Godzilla is super flawed but has a lot of bright spots, but looking back even the bright spots of this movie is so not worth the slog of boring dead as wood characters who you don't care about and who just get in the way of the awesome Godzilla fights to a very annoying degree. I know the atomic breath was awesome but that was a one minute scene of awesomeness in an hour and a half of boredom. I really want to see a fan edit of the movie where it's just the monster fights and the Ken Watanabe scenes (who would have been a way more interesting protagonist), it would be a great twenty-five minute video.
# 6 Tammy
Yeah I've got nothing more to say about this other than it's a real bore and a waste of SO much talent like Melissa McCarthy (who can act) , Susan Sarandan, Kathy Bates, Dan Akryod (who appears at the very end for five minutes with eight lines at most.) It's also can't decide whether it wants to be a comedy or drama and it fails at both hardcore.
# 5 One Hundred foot journey
You'll notice that #5-#1 are all movies I was looking forward too but was super disappointed by and considered it a bad movie especially of what it could have been. Yeah so I was excited for this movie, the guy who directed this directed one of my favorite movies of all time, stars the eternal badass Helen Mirren, takes place in Paris and is about food. I was so excited for this movie and was let down super hard. This movie was so boring and plain and clichéd as all hell, they even made the setting of Paris and all the food looked boring.
# 4 Book of life
This movie had so much potential and so much promise and so many hints of something more than we got. To me kids movie especially kids animated can be so much more than meets the eye yet this movie does everything by the book, everything is very predictable except for one character and one red herring, and yes the movie is one of the most beautiful and uniquely animated movies in the last decade but style can't make up for a lack of substance.
# 3 X-men days of future past
Yes I know a lot of people really liked this movie but I'm not a lot of people. I love the X-men series (favorite is X-men first class), I even love the ones everyone hates like X-men 3 and X-men origins. I was actually excited for this movie even with how Quicksilver looked like a disco ball but I hated this movie so bad, to me it was so rushed, some of the characters felt underdeveloped or schizophrenic, so many big stuff was so unexplained to the point where I felt as if we needed two movies leading up to this (X-men 4 and X-men first class 2) and the future cast was wasted and most of them barely got a line in. It felt as though this movie was botched in editing and from what I hear that might have been the case.
#2 Night at the museum 3: Secret of the tombs
I saw this movie but it was the Holidays so I didn't write a review it but I'm just going to say it's really bad, really unfunny, the Egyptian pharoh who really should have been the main character or at least one of the central characters, mixed message, his parents who have an interesting reason for making the tablet enchanted is wasted, Robin Williams in his last movie is wasted which is sad. I was just sadden by this movie because so many things were wasted or bad, and I liked the last two movies.
#1 Magic in the moonlight
If you read my review for this movie you will know I was infuriated by this movie when I came out. It has everything that all other movies on this list has, kind of offensive intellectually, wasted potential, blank plot and characters, super rushed, one of my favorite directors (Woody Allen) making an extremely horrible film, and just boring. I was so excited for this movie and I was so let down. This movie is an hour and a half long and feels like it's three hours. Guardians of the Galaxy is two hours long and is a breeze compared to Magic in the moonlight which is a complete slog and is the only movie where for ten minutes I walked out and snuck into the theater next to it and watched ten minutes of Sex tape (I missed nothing by the way.) I just feel angry talking about this movie that's how much I hate it.
So that's FINALLY my top ten worst movies of the year and I hope 2015 is better.
