Ooof this one was painful. There has never been a successful attempt at a Fantastic Four movie, but 2015’s ‘Fant4stic’ was brutal. Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, and Jamie Bell tried their damndest to make the classic comic story work, but cheesy dialogue and a pointless plot ruined it. 

(Twentieth Century Fox)

WHY do actors continue to participate in these holiday anthology movies? Not that the other people in ‘Mother’s Day’ aren’t talented, but we’re taking special umbrage with Julia Roberts and her heinous wig. She’s a busy business woman who doesn’t have time for kids. Until she does! It’s cliche and embarrassing. (Rice Films)

If George Clooney hadn’t already established himself as a Hollywood heartthrob, 1997’s ‘Batman & Robin’ would have destroyed his career. Remember when Batman had nipples? We tried to forget, too. The cheesy movie was so bad that George actually apologized to previous Batman, Val Kilmer, for ruining his legacy. (Warner Bros)

One word: yikes. ‘Gigli’ stars Ben Affleck as a mobster named Gigli who calls out a hit on his enemy’s mentally challenged younger brother. Stay with me. His usual hitman can’t do the job, so he hires a WOMAN to do it (Jennifer Lopez). Fastforward through a series of terrible plotholes and pause on the fact that her character is a lesbian. So…why do she and Gigli fall in love at the end and have sex… (Revolution Studios)

To be honest, this shmaltzy war drama was an insult to the attack on Pearl Harbor itself. Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, and Josh Hartnett had no idea what they signed up for. There’s even a ‘South Park’ song about this flop! (Touchstone Pictures)

In 2005, James Franco wasn’t the superstar he is now, and was taking some creative liberities. Cue ‘The Ape’, a movie he wrote, directed, and starred in, about an isolated writer whose roommate is an ape in a Hawaiian shirt. Played by a dude in a gorilla costume. He tried! (RabbitBandini Productions)

Even Taylor Swift got caught up in the mess that’s ‘Valentine’s Day’ (the 2010 movie, not the holiday). Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, and endless other talented actors took part in this, too. Please, no more ‘day’ movies! (New Line Cinema)

It’s hard to believe ‘Movie 43’ actually exists. The anthology film was meant to be an absurdist, grossout comedy, but was just way too weird to work. It subjected actors like Kate Winslet to a short in which Hugh Jackman removes his scarf during a dinner date to reveals he has testicles on his neck. (Relativity Media)

We all know what ‘Jack and Jill’ is about. Adam Sandler plays a man and his twin sister. Not that anyone thought this was going to be a masterpiece, but why was Al Pacino there?

Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges probably thought it’d be a safe bet to star in the film adaptation of a beloved children’s book, but they were SO wrong. (Tonik Productions)

‘Blind’ was so bad that it only played in two theaters before disappearing. Demi Moore and Dylan McDermott are indicted for insider trading charges. She’s sentenced to community service and reads to a blind author, Alec Baldwin. Cue them falling in love, and McDermott beating the s**t out of a blind guy. (Michal Mailer Films)

In which we find out where Wolverine came from! The ‘X-Men’ films have always been hit-or-miss, but ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ was such a misstep. One notable mistake: Deadpool is nicknamed ‘The Merc with a Mouth.’ And in this movie…he doesn’t even have a mouth. ( 20th Century Fox)

In ‘Aloha’ Bill Murray stars as a wealthy contractor taking over land in Hawaii, which is problamatic in itself. The cherry on top of a bad movie is that white white white Emma Stone’s character is supposed to be half Hawaiian. (Columbia Pictures)

‘Mortdecai’ is perhaps one of the worst movies in recent years. Johnny Depp stars as an art swindler in the action comedy, costarring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor. It’s actually hard to describe how bad it is. We’re just going to point out his mustache and terrible accent and call it a day. (MWM)
