5 of the Worst movies in the last 5 years (2009-2013)

I'm always making lists of my Top movies of the year or my favorite action movies or favorite comedies.   After a couple of really bad movies lately I thought it was time for a worst of least.
So  below is a least of the movies that were at the bottom of the last 10 years.   These movies achieved the status of worst movie of the year (out of the movies I saw for those years).


The Worst movie of 2013  so far goes to Blast Vegas   1  out of 10

This movie was absolutely terrible and came fresh on the heels of Sharknado  (a so bad it was good gem).    There is nothing good to say about this terrible film......But I wrote about it anyway in a previous blog

The Worst movie of 2012  Jules Verne's Mysterious Island  0 out of 10

If you thought Blast Vegas was terrible wait until you see this dreadful movie that blasphemously has Jules Verne's name on it.    This one got a 0 out of 10 which is very rare.  For my thoughts on this turkey....go here

The Worst movie of 2011   Almighty Thor    1 out of 10

 
This movie that tries to steal some of Marvel's Thor thunder is definitely not the Thor you are looking for........Let's face it ---it isn't the Thor anyone was looking for.
You can read the rest of my thoughts on it here

The Worst movie of 2010     Gulliver's Travel   1   out of 10
This movie cemented for me the fact that I'm not a fan of Jack Black.   He has starred in 3 of the worst movies I've ever seen.   As a supporting character in a movie he is ok.  As a lead  NOT SO MUCH.    For more on this movie that currently sits as the worst movie I saw in 2010.....go here.

The Worst movie of 2009   Transmorphers :Fall of Man  2  out of 10

Transmorphers -------Less than meets the Eye"   a truly terrible movie...Like Almighty Thor ---the thought process on this one only went as far as the rip-off title.
 


Here is my review of this terrible rip-off movie that was trying to cash in on Transformers success.

Blast Vegas (AKA Destruction Vegas) 2013 1 out of 10


Blast Vegas 2013   1 out of 10

Blast Vegas was just completely terrible.  One week after the spectacle that was Sharknado (a terrible movie that was so bad that it was good)  we get stuck with Blast Vegas.   Starring Frankie Muniz and Barry Bostwick this disaster film was just an awful example of terrible film making.   The story was beyond stupid and made no sense whatsoever.  The editing of the film was awful with continuity errors left and right. The difference between a movie that is so bad that it is good and a movie that is just so bad that it is almost unwatchable can be a thin line.   This one fell into the so bad it is just plain terrible.     

The story focuses on a group of college students in Vegas for spring break that accidentally unleash an ancient Egyptian curse via stealing an ancient sword from the hotel lobby and putting it in the sand.   This unleashes a boring sand storm in the shape of a giant sand snake.   Somehow Vegas is devoid of people for some  during most of the movie  (because extras cost money) This works in deserted towns or other locations---but Vegas with no people during spring break???  Really?    In one scene near the beginning of the film the Statue of Liberty is in ruins and then 20 minutes later all of New York/New York is completely fine.  There is a sign in front of it talking about a tiger . (which wouldn't be at New York/ New York), but they thought it would be cool to have a tiger running around after one of the clueless characters that decides to wander around outside for no reason in the middle of this deadly sandstorm.   The main group of characters travel around Vegas using underground passages (like they are at Disneyland) with the help of Barry Bostwich playing a cheesy Vegas lounge singer.   One second there is a shot of Vegas looking intact,  five minutes later it is in ruins and then intact again.   The characters then basically just make up a quest for items around Vegas to solve the curse and drive around the completely empty streets going in and out of underground passages as some of them die one by one from boring deaths as a result of the sandstorm.   It was the most nonsensical mess of a movie I've ever seen.    Sharknado was a mess as well, but a funny and entertaining mess.   Blast Vegas as one of my friends pointed out is no Sharknado.    All bad Syfy channel movies can now be judged against that standard.   "Well it's no Sharknado"
