Well since the year is almost up and another thread got me thinking about the truly awful movies I've seen this year I started this post.
So lets post our nominations for our three worst movies of the year (difficult I know as there have been loads).
POSSIBLE SPOILERS (although these are awful so do yourself a favour and don't watch them).
I'll kick off:
1st - World War Z;
A jaw-droppingly moronic plot and script. Brad Pitt flies around the world trying to find the source of a Zombie plague which ends in... A council estate near Cardiff? Oh and an imprisoned psycho CIA agent explains that the plague hasn't affected North Korea as the government went round and pulled out everyone's teeth. Yep - they pulled out 800 million teeth.
'Jesus wept' moment: when Zombies scale the walls of Jerusalem because of the noise of Jews and Muslims singing together in harmony (apparently the helicopter gunships and planes landing didn't peak their interest).
2nd - Olympus Has Fallen;
Again utterly idiotic plot. President Whatever is in Camp David, a heavy snowstorm hits so the secret service decide they'd better drive him back to Washington, obviously. As they are driving, at a suitably slow speed given the conditions, a stone hits the inch thick bullet resistant glass on a car. The highly trained agent driving throws a- fit and drives off a bridge. Meanwhile the presidents limo goes skidding behind and teeters off the edge of the bridge. The first lady falls out and drowns, naturally. Poor Gerard blames himself and quits.
North Korean terrorists then take over the white house, strafe Washington from a C130 gunship or similar and bitch slap the secretary of state. Gerard kills them all with his terrible American accent (or a gun, could have been a gun).
'Jesus wept' moment - When the North Koreans take the bullet ravaged US flag and toss it off the roof in slow motion. I threw up a little.
3rd - The Hobbit; (I realise a lot of people liked this movie for some reason - I'm not trolling, I truly hated it)
A three hour long cartoon of fat singing dwarves doing dishes and sod all else. One of the the most excruciatingly boring 3 hours I have ever spent in front of a TV. Made all the worse by the fact that I had no idea Jackson had padded a short kid's book into nine hours of movie split into 3 parts. I can't repeat here what I said when it 'ended' but suffice to say I won't be watching the next two.
'Jesus wept' moment - Almost all of it but especially the 'ending'.
So what movies did you sit thru that you'd wished you hadn't in 2013?
