The worst film ever made. There is nothing good about this abomination. Apalling acting, rubbish dialogue, annoying characters, some truly horrific/awful scenes, a constant feeling of lack of enthusiasm from the cast & production team etc and the entire thing is far, far too long. Half of it is a TV commercial and the rest is just mindless explosions and violence.
Nope, there is nothing worse than this. It's 150 minutes of my life wasted.
NA/10

I can forgive the first HSM film as it's just a TV movie. I can't forgive this one, for the simple reason that Disney allowed this to be made. It's about as tacky a film you will ever watch, full of ridiculous stereotypes, some seriously cringey scenes and some of the most annoying characters ever to be put into a film. How this got an extended edition is beyond me, because it doesn't deserve it.

TV-G | 97 min | Comedy, Family, Music

What a surprise, another Disney Channel movie! Just like with HSM, the first CR film can be exempted because it's nothing more than a TV film. This one gets the position of 4th worst film ever made because it's far more of an insult to music than a 'movie'. More reasons to dislike Disney Channel...

5. The Cat in the Hat (2003)
PG | 82 min | Adventure, Comedy, Family
Two bored children have their lives turned upside down when a talking cat comes to visit them.
Director: Bo Welch | Stars: Mike Myers, Spencer Breslin, Dakota Fanning, Alec Baldwin
Votes: 88,040 | Gross: $101.15M
What a vile, disgusting and disturbing creation this is. Despite it's childish and funny origins, this film manages to be so bad it can't even be considered 'funny because it's bad'.
1/10
6. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
PG | 92 min | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
The Fantastic Four learn that they aren't the only super-powered beings in the universe when they square off against the powerful Silver Surfer and the planet-eating Galactus.
Director: Tim Story | Stars: Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis
Votes: 277,519 | Gross: $131.92M
It's hard to put into words what went wrong here, but to put it briefly, Marvel managed to cock up one of their comics so badly that it's a shameful letdown to fans of the series. It's without direction, coordination or enjoyment, devoid of life and emotion. It's barely a film at all.
1/10
7. High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)
G | 112 min | Comedy, Drama, Family
As seniors in high school, Troy and Gabriella struggle with the idea of being separated from one another as college approaches. Along with the rest of the Wildcats, they stage a spring musical to address their experiences, hopes and fears about their future.

Votes: 67,569 | Gross: $90.56M
They made 3 HSM films. That is a problem.

8. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
PG | 142 min | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Ten years after initially meeting, Anakin Skywalker shares a forbidden romance with Padmé Amidala, while Obi-Wan Kenobi discovers a secret clone army crafted for the Jedi.

Votes: 759,673 | Gross: $310.68M
If Empire Strikes Back was the pinnacle of the original saga, AotC was the low point of the prequels. Some of the worst writing ever put into a film can be found here, with terrible characters and lifeless story. Such a lack of effort in this film...it's almost a shame. And I'm sorry, for a film that 'prides' itself in having huge amounts of CGI, did they really have to make it look like a N64 game?
2/10
9. Meet the Spartans (2008)
PG-13 | 87 min | Comedy, Fantasy
A spoof of 300 (2006) and many other movies, TV series/shows/commercials, video games and celebrities. King Leonidas of Sparta and his army of 12 go to war against Xerxes of Persia to fight to the death for Sparta's freedom.
Directors: Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer | Stars: Sean Maguire, Kevin Sorbo, Carmen Electra, Ken Davitian
Votes: 111,583 | Gross: $38.23M
There's trash, and then there's this.
It has a scene when a man gets his nipple ripped off. I gave up hope there.

10. Grown Ups 2 (2013)
PG-13 | 101 min | Comedy
After moving his family back to his hometown to be with his friends and their kids, Lenny finds out that between old bullies, new bullies, schizo bus drivers, drunk cops on skis, and four hundred costumed party crashers sometimes crazy follows you.

Votes: 169,641 | Gross: $133.67M
Do you like fart jokes, vomit, crappy acting, cheesy dialogue, and would like it wrapped up into something that has no story at all? You've found your ideal film.
2/10
11. Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
PG-13 | 154 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.

Votes: 432,265 | Gross: $352.39M
It's Revenge of the Fallen, only more explosive and stupid. But unbelievably, it's slightly better, only because [SPOILERS...not that you'd want to watch this anyway)] of the scene where Chicago gets attacked. Which was pretty cool. But even that was a bit rubbish.
2/10
12. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009)
PG | 88 min | Adventure, Comedy, Family
The world-famous singing preteen chipmunk trio return to contend with the pressures of school, celebrity, and a rival female music group known as The Chipettes.
Director: Betty Thomas | Stars: Jason Lee, Zachary Levi, David Cross, Justin Long
Votes: 54,591 | Gross: $219.61M
It makes some fairly good comments on what's wrong with the music industry. But I'd be surprised if any child who watched this actually felt entertained at any moment while watching it.
2/10
13. Total Recall (I) (2012)
PG-13 | 118 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
A factory worker, Douglas Quaid, begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting Rekall - a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led - goes wrong and he finds himself on the run.
Director: Len Wiseman | Stars: Colin Farrell, Bokeem Woodbine, Bryan Cranston, Kate Beckinsale
Votes: 266,507 | Gross: $58.88M
A film that manages to take a colossal steaming dump on the original, while also being absolute crap at the same time.
2/10
14. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003)
PG-13 | 117 min | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Adventurer Lara Croft goes on a quest to save the mythical Pandora's Box, before an evil scientist finds it, and recruits a former Marine turned mercenary to assist her.
Director: Jan de Bont | Stars: Angelina Jolie, Gerard Butler, Chris Barrie, Ciarán Hinds
Votes: 144,926 | Gross: $65.66M
The only thing that saves this film (to an extent) is that it's so ridiculous that it's sometimes enjoyable. That still doesn't get away from the fact that it's a terrible film.
2/10
15. 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
PG-13 | 107 min | Action, Crime, Thriller
Former cop Brian O'Conner is called upon to bust a dangerous criminal and he recruits the help of a former childhood friend and street racer who has a chance to redeem himself.
Director: John Singleton | Stars: Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, Cole Hauser, Eva Mendes
Votes: 297,844 | Gross: $127.15M
Why...why do you have to be so bad? I rather like the F&F series, even if the films aren't perfect, but this makes Tokyo Drift look like Forest Gump. And Tokyo Drift was rubbish.
2/10
16. Pearl Harbor (2001)
PG-13 | 183 min | Action, Drama, Romance
A tale of war and romance mixed in with history. The story follows two lifelong friends and a beautiful nurse who are caught up in the horror of an infamous Sunday morning in 1941.
Director: Michael Bay | Stars: Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale, Josh Hartnett, William Lee Scott
Votes: 352,040 | Gross: $198.54M
Michael Bay makes yet another apearance with by far his most annoying film of all time. Sure, the attack scene on Pearl Harbor is very good, but it's a 30 minute long scene in a film that's 180 minutes long. It should have been called "Soppy WW2 Love Story The Features Pearl Harbor In Its Plot".
3/10
17. Shrek the Third (2007)
PG | 93 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
Reluctantly designated as the heir to the land of Far, Far Away, Shrek hatches a plan to install the rebellious Artie as the new king while Princess Fiona tries to fend off a coup d'état by the jilted Prince Charming.
Directors: Chris Miller, Raman Hui | Stars: Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas
Votes: 332,758 | Gross: $320.71M
When the 1st and 2nd films were so good, why did they decide Shrek needed to be completely changed? God knows why, but one thing's for sure, Shrek The Third sucks.
3/10
18. Battleship (2012)
PG-13 | 131 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.
Director: Peter Berg | Stars: Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, Liam Neeson, Rihanna
Votes: 257,460 | Gross: $65.42M
Did Peter Berg feel inspired by Michael Bay or something? Because it feels to me that Battleship is just Transformers, only on Hawaii. That's not a compliment, by the way.
3/10
19. Babylon A.D. (2008)
PG-13 | 90 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Veteran-turned-mercenary Toorop takes the high-risk job of escorting a woman from Russia to America. Little does he know that she is host to an organism that a cult wants to harvest in order to produce a genetically modified Messiah.
Director: Mathieu Kassovitz | Stars: Vin Diesel, Michelle Yeoh, Mélanie Thierry, Gérard Depardieu
Votes: 98,485 | Gross: $22.53M
At no point during this did I think "I know what's going on in this film". I've still yet to work out its name as well. It's Future Noire gone wrong.
3/10
20. Terminator Salvation (2009)
PG-13 | 115 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
In 2018, a mysterious new weapon in the war against the machines, half-human and half-machine, comes to John Connor on the eve of a resistance attack on Skynet. But whose side is he on, and can he be trusted?
Director: McG | Stars: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood
Votes: 377,641 | Gross: $125.32M
Christian Bale is wasted yet again in a film that proves that Terminator should have just been a trilogy. Sure, seeing Earth after Judgement Day is a nice idea, but Salvation completely ruins it.
