The worse films of 2010 that Iain had to endure....awww....


We're nearly at the end of 2010 so before I reveal my films of the year, why not shame the ones that gave me eye cancer. For more discussions, check out the latest episodes of Cinematic Dramatic at GeekPlanetOnline.

So, the worse films of 2010? Here goes: 

You know a film is truly terrible when you’re laughing at the sheer stupidity and ridiculousness of the actions on screen. Legion was such a film when Paul Bettany and Kevin Durand finally collided in the finale of this utterly appalling horror action in which spinning maces and machines guns were overkill. The idea of angels coming to kill humans was interesting, trying to make Paul Bettany a bad ass action hero kinda fun when you thought about it. But Legion’s end result was anything but watchable. And the early reviews for Priest next year have not been good. Oh god.

Words cannot express the sheer insulting emotions I endured watching this action film. The action scenes, however well set, did not save it from utter shite. That is all.

Quite frankly, the worse offender of the bunch of shamed films. How low can M Night Shawddy Shawddy get? This low. Airbender is poorly scripted with horrible exposition dialogue, repeating plot points that we don’t need to be told about every time the villain comes back, stilted acting, the race bending issue, the complete destruction of a beloved Nickelodeon cartoon. Take your pick for any of these reasons. But the real kicker of this whole shit pile? A 3D presentation that does fuck all making you wear 3D glasses just to see the film properly. A waste of time for everyone involved and only a miracle can save this director’s promising career.

A comic book movie that arrived damaged, broken, violated, and trodden on. All promises of a good movie go out the door with a daft runtime, vanishing characters, poor dialogue and wasted actors. Only Michael Fassbender escapes this mess as the best thing in it. And that's very worrying when you've got a cast featuring Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Will Arnett, Michael Shannon (he's in it...somewhere) and Megan Fox.....HEY! Waitaminute!

Thank god the projector broke near the end of my screening for the film. This alien invasion film was tedious from start to its abrupt end. Impressively visually sometimes with the special effect. However, Skyline was let down by everything else. The TV actors tried but were clearly being directed by brothers who were interested in what they could put in the background rather than get decent performances. Or actually bash out a coherent story. That ending is fucking retarded still.
