Worst Films of 2009

10. "12 Rounds"
John Cena still can't act. Not even in the wonderful world of late 80's, early 90's styled action films where acting wasn't really an issue so long as things blew up on time and many bad men died. And if you're doing to steal the plot(s) from "Die Hard", at least try not to make it so boring.

09. "Hannah Montana: The Movie"
Not quite as annoying as I figured it would be, but enough to make this list. Boring, old and very much Disney live action styled.. which sometimes is boring and old feeling. Sure I'm not the demographic, but I wasn't the demographic for "High School Musical 3" either and I liked that.

08. "Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail"
I loathe the Madea character more and more with each movie now. Perry needs a massive change of pace and soon. Sure this crap is making money, but after a while you've gotta look at other directors and writers and actors and think... damn... I could be doing so much more. Perhaps his appearance in "Star Trek" is his step in a brighter direction. At least I hope so. There's enough horribly unfunny comedies out there.

07. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
Awesome promo pics, pretty good trailers, rotten as shit movie. The CGI in this rivals only "The Day the Earth Stood Still" in crappiness and non-effects filled rest is mind-numbingly boring and uninspired.

06. "Saw VI"
It's "Saw VI", what else do you need to know?

05. "Year One"
Team Apatow takes a knock for this caveman comedy. Director Harold Ramis does as well. There's no characters in this film, only bored actors in bad wigs and rags and about one joke in thirty actually works.

04. "The Twilight Saga: New Moon"
Boring, seriously mentally challenged and only slightly better made than the first film. The fact that there's still a few more of these movies coming along makes be want to cry a bit. I don't think I can take one more constipated glance from Robert Pattinson.

03. "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day"
Poorly done action is always something that bugs me. I feel like in this day and age it's not that difficult. But then again when your franchise is based off ripping off better crime and action films from the neck down, this is what you get.

02. "Couples Retreat"
Never again Vince Vaughn... never again.

01. "Terminator Salvation"
Being a hardcore "Terminator" fan this one hit me hardest. I mean really... how could you have fucked up so bad with this McG? How could you make Christian Bale, Common, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Worthington, Helena Bohan Carter, Moon Bloodgood and CGI Arnold suck so bad? Huh? It's the future war that's been discussed since the first film, the most epic display of post apocalyptic action and you decide along with the writers and producers of "Catwoman"... "CATWOMAN" for fucks sake... to make this drab looking turd that rips off "Mad Max", "Transformers" and "Children of Men". "Wall-E" was closer to "Terminator" than this bullshit.
