‘The Legend of Hercules’ is a dull and uninspired retelling of the classic myth. Kellan Lutz’s wooden performance as the titular hero does little to elevate the film, which is bogged down by clichéd dialogue and lackluster special effects. The movie’s attempt to blend action and drama falls flat, making it a forgettable entry in the pantheon of Hercules adaptations.
2. The Ridiculous 6 2015，IMDB Rating: 4.9, IMDB Votes: 54167, ID: 2479478

‘The Ridiculous 6’ is a painfully unfunny attempt at a comedy-western. Adam Sandler’s lazy performance and the film’s offensive humor make it a chore to sit through. Despite its ensemble cast, the movie fails to deliver any genuine laughs and instead relies on tired stereotypes and gross-out gags. It’s a low point in Sandler’s career and a film best left unwatched.

‘Pixels’ squanders its promising premise with poor execution and lackluster performances. Adam Sandler and Kevin James fail to bring any charm to this sci-fi comedy, which is bogged down by mediocre special effects and a weak script. While the nostalgic video game references are fun, they can’t save the film from being a disappointing and forgettable experience.

The Snowman (2017) is a chilling example of how a promising thriller can go disastrously wrong. Despite a star-studded cast led by Michael Fassbender, the film is a muddled mess with an incoherent plot and lackluster performances. The movie’s attempt to adapt Jo Nesbø’s bestselling novel falls flat, leaving viewers confused and disappointed. It’s a missed opportunity that squanders its potential, making it one of the worst action movies of all time.

Geostorm (2017) is a disaster movie in every sense of the word. With a plot that defies logic and special effects that fail to impress, the film is a tedious watch. Gerard Butler’s performance is uninspired, and the movie’s attempt to blend action with a message about climate change is clumsy at best. It’s a forgettable film that fails to deliver on its promise of epic disaster-movie spectacle.

Battlefield Earth is a sci-fi disaster that fails on every level. From its bizarre camera angles to its laughable dialogue, the film is a painful watch. John Travolta’s over-the-top performance and the film’s incoherent plot make it a standout in the realm of bad movies.
7. Catwoman 2004，IMDB Rating: 3.4, IMDB Votes: 126610, ID: 0327554

Catwoman is a purr-fect example of how not to make a superhero movie. Halle Berry’s performance is overshadowed by a nonsensical plot and cringe-worthy dialogue. The film’s focus on bad cosmetics rather than a compelling villain makes it a feline flop.
8. Gigli 2003，IMDB Rating: 2.6, IMDB Votes: 51045, ID: 0299930

Gigli is a romantic comedy that misses the mark on every front. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s lack of chemistry, combined with a ridiculous plot, make it a painful watch. The film’s attempt at humor falls flat, making it one of the worst movies of all time.

The Love Guru is a comedy that fails to deliver laughs. Mike Myers’ over-the-top performance and the film’s offensive humor make it a cringe-worthy experience. The film’s lack of originality and poor execution make it a low point in Myers’ career.

Despite its star-studded cast, ‘The Adventures of Pluto Nash’ is a colossal misfire. Eddie Murphy’s charm couldn’t save this incoherent blend of comedy and action, resulting in a film that feels more like a chaotic mess than an entertaining ride. The special effects, which were decent for its time, are overshadowed by a lackluster plot and uninspired direction. It’s no wonder this film is often cited as one of the worst action movies of all time.
11. The 5th Wave 2016，IMDB Rating: 5.2, IMDB Votes: 118276, ID: 2304933

‘The 5th Wave’ struggles to find its footing amidst a sea of young adult dystopian films. The movie’s derivative plot and lackluster special effects fail to do justice to Rick Yancey’s novel. Chloe Grace Moretz’s performance as Cassie Sullivan is one of the few highlights, but even her efforts can’t save the film from its predictable and uninspired storyline. It’s a forgettable entry in the genre that doesn’t offer anything new or exciting.
12. Gods of Egypt 2016，IMDB Rating: 5.4, IMDB Votes: 127136, ID: 2404233

‘Gods of Egypt’ is a visually ambitious but ultimately flawed film that tries to blend mythology with modern action. The movie’s over-reliance on CGI and its convoluted plot make it a challenging watch. Despite the efforts of actors like Gerard Butler and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the film’s lack of coherence and depth leaves much to be desired. It’s a spectacle that fails to deliver on its promise of epic adventure.

‘Mortal Kombat: Annihilation’ is a prime example of how not to make a sequel. The film’s shallow characters, poor special effects, and nonsensical plot make it a painful watch. Despite its attempts to capture the excitement of the video game, the movie falls short in every aspect. It’s a disappointing follow-up that fails to live up to the original.

Despite its star-studded cast, ‘The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor’ is a lackluster addition to the franchise. The film’s convoluted plot and subpar CGI effects make it a tedious watch. While Brendan Fraser and Jet Li bring some charm, the movie ultimately fails to capture the magic of its predecessors. It’s a disappointing entry that feels more like a cash grab than a genuine effort to entertain.

‘The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption’ is a prime example of a franchise that has lost its way. With a weak storyline, poor acting, and uninspired action scenes, this direct-to-video sequel is a far cry from the original. Even the presence of Ron Perlman and Billy Zane can’t save this film from being a forgettable mess. It’s a movie that should be avoided unless you’re a die-hard fan of the series.
