As an aspiring screenwriter, I want to write something as good as Incendies or Sideways. However, when I look at the box office for these movies, compared to rancid movies like Transformers, I find myself second guessing my goals and objectives. When I look at the ROI for Transformer/GIJoe type movies, I'm blown away. Why do people watch this garbage? Is that really what moviegoers want?
Great top-3 lists GabnDad - hope you didn't suffer through the other 100 candidates to get these ;-)
Hmm, mostly true picks, and i also agree, 2009 was a load of bull, with a few sprinkles of genious here and there.
I must say i disagree to a degree with rating transformers 2 so badly, but i also really hated the first transformers movie, and the 2nd was closer to being an episode of the transformers translated to movie, and it corrected some of the problems of the first one.
2012 absolute worst though, probably one of the worst of the entire decade.
great to so intelligent, educated people giving reviews rather than the fat highschool dropouts which is the norm on youtube. keep up the good work, can't wait for for.
@GabnDad hey um I think one movie you should have saw was "9" not "District 9" Its an animated film by Tim Burton and it was amazing made for mostly adults but could be for kids rated PG-13 the plot is machines have started a armagedon and a scientist created 9 ragdolls and transfers parts of his soul into each of them now its up to them to rid the world of the machines but the main machine but how can they stop them? Really ingaging film you should consider seeing it Max would like it.
To me I didn't think that there were many bad films in 2009. In fact there were only 3 that stood out as the worst. And they are.
3. Transformers 2
2. G.I. Joe
1. The sprit
These movies were so bad that I could'nt even mention there proper titles. Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe had another sentience after them and I didn't give The sprit a capital s.
seems more like a ''most overrated of 2009'' to me because they are all films that did well in the box office but were quite bad. there were movies like dragonball evolution that were clearly worse than these but went unnoticed -thank god
Thanks! I've enjoyed sharing reviews with you.... Yes, you did warn me about GI Joe! But Max and his Daddy wanted to rent it. :( I was dumb and rented Year 1 a while back; yeah, I was tempted to tie it with "Land of the Lost", but hated LOL more because I paid full price and took Max!
Yes I hated all of those movies, I haven't seen A&D and certainly don't cate too. I'm making my worst and best picks as soon as I see Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus and The Lovely Bones. So, since LB comes out on Jan 15th I can finally make my picks then.
Was that photo at the end you and Dad a few years ago? It's really sweet. Excellent year-end review guys. Keep up the great work, and keep us updated on what's good. ^_^ Happy New Year.
Nice new intro! Oh my goodness, these were certainly some stinkers. As much as I adored this year for film, those movies kind of just ground me, haha. Fantastic lists, I really do have to agree with your choices.
Great video and Happy New Year's "Arrogant fools!"*
G.I. Joe was a ok turn your brain off action movie, I was surprized I didn't hate it. The CGI was horrible. Maybe I was just in a forgiving mood when I watched it.
but I agree with the rest. and if Tranformers 2 is the worst movie you ever saw you need to watch more movies.
I watch bad movies every week and they make all these movies look good...
I agree with all of your picks except Angels & Demons because I haven't seen it. Glad to see you put Surrogates and G.I. Joe on your lists. I made a top 10 worst list if you want to check it out.
Good list it was interesting to hear why you hated these films. I would have put most of these films on my list unfortunately I have actually seen WORSE films than these and am forced to put them over these. For example. Fighting was worse than G.I Joe and both feature the WORST actor that Chanming Tantum guy or whatever his name is.
Yeah I actually try to avoid most films that look bad to me from the previews and what I read; so that results in them not being named 'worst' by me since I got to skip them! I can only imagine the worse ones than my picks... and Fighting would be right up there! LOL Channing Tatum could be out-acted by a spoon.
I have thankfully NOT seen GI Joe, lol. But I have to agree with Dad on this one. Transformers 2 was ARGH! I can't even put it into words. Just a dreadful, dreadful movie. The sense of awe, genuine humor, pacing, and actual control in action scenes from the original Transformers was GONE. Transformers 2 was nothing more than a relentless assault on my senses. HATED it.
Oh, and I laughed out loud on that Surrogates comment: "The Poor Man's Avatar" Ahahaha! I love you guys.
Great vid as always, Gab and Phil!! You guys were really scraping the bottom of the barrel here! I've only seen two of the flicks you've mentioned. Yes Angels & Demons was entertaining, but nothing special. And Transformers 2 was so-so to me. (The first movie was WAY better in my opinion) You're reviews always great. Hope you have a great new year!
At first the year was meh but it leveled out in quality, with good and bad films. At the final turn I think i came out with a lot that that I love then that of which I hated. Some of the worst movies of the year are bad but out shadowed by how good the great films of the year were. Anyway, good picks. Agree on a lot of them and YES I hated Land of the Lost. I do not know how so many people thought that it wasn't as bad as critics say, ugh.

after the worst of 2010 I just had to watch this one too.
Great to see Transformers 2 here. Definitely one of my least favourite films of all time. I even enjoy Manos: The Hands Of Fate a lot more.
TF2 really scared me when I looked at my clock after what seemed to be 2 hours to me and saw that it was only 25 minutes later.
