Sometimes, movies aren't worth seeing. Not just because they charge way too much for popcorn and drinks, but because the quality is just terrible. Today, we're going to be counting down the top ten dumbest films of 2014. Sit down, grab that overly priced (and low quality) popcorn, and stop saying I'm watchmojo. No seriously, I'm not watchmojo.
Number Ten-Nut Job: Starting off our countdown is one of the worst films of 2014. It's also an insult to childrens movies, as well. This film is about a narcissistic squirrel who gets exiled from his pack, and is left to fend for himself. He soon discovers a mafia owns a shop that carries the one thing every squirrel wants. Nuts. So, he decides to rally up a group of animals, and perform a heist. This film was terribly received by critics. Cheap jokes (even for kids), stealing the plot and animation style of the movie "over the hedge", and including a Psy cameo (which, lets face it, is the only reason any one 10 and under went to see it) is the reason for its demise.
Number Nine-I, Frankenstine: Coming in at number nine is a movie just as guilty. Despite including Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight, this film was not even close to its quality. This film is about how Frankenstine is the proof that God didn't create all life, and the devil and angels fight over control of who can keep his soul. If the plot isn't crazy, and not welly conceived, enough for ya, the special effects were also a major issue. Despite being an action film, the special effects were terrible! Obvious stunt doubles, terrible costumes, and even worse props. Not only that, the plot holes were almost too noticable. All of this combined makes this a trainwreck.
Number Eight-Dolphin Tale 2: This film also wasn't that great. Despite having Morgan Freeman in the movie for less than 10 minutes collectively, this film's cast was just talentless. This film, again, recycles it's former plot about the emotional and traumatic life of Winter the dolphin. This film's end is easily guessed, but it's just not worth going to see.
Number Seven-Ride Along: Despite it being pretty funny, the films plot just wasn't up to par. Starring Ice Cube as a "I write my own rules" type of cop, he attempts to transform his sisters nerdy fiance' into a "real man". So, he takes him on a ride along. The films plot was not welly written. Several plot holes are seen within the movie, and are quite noticable. It also could've been PG, without the language. Either way, this film is worth seeing if you want to laugh, but not if you want to watch a good comedy. I saw it, and don't regret it.
Number Six-Vampire Academy: Since America is obsessed with vampires, this film isn't exactly what anyone would want to see. Based off the 2007 sad excuse for a best seller, this film basically rips off ever Disney/Nickelodeon shows plot. Two dumb chicks trying to survive school. Wow. They really did steal all those shows plots. Anyways, the film was a huge flop. The budget for the film was 30 million dollars, and it only garnered 15 million. If that's not a major red flag, it was severely negatively received by all critics.
Number Five-Godzilla: Since everyone lives to see yet another terrible rendition of a classic film, Godzilla satisfies that need. Despite having Godzilla visually obscured throughout a majority of the movie, and random monsters running amoc, this film is the definiton of "all over the place". Although the acting was mediocre, the entire premise of the film literally made no sense. Unless you want to see the Japanese actor saying "let them fight", then this film is for you.
Number Four-Blended: Coming at number four, is surprisingly Adam Sandler. Well, not so surprising actually. This film certaintly confirms that Adam Sandler has tanked in recent years. This film is about two divorced families who surprisingly go on the same vacation together, after mooching it off of their bosses and friends. Then, they get married at the end. This film, as usual, is filled with hooters jokes, immature humor and just dumb humor in general. Shaq played a good part though. He always plays a good part. This filmed earned its spot by including the "Shake it up" chick, bad plot and terrible quality humor. Adam really nees to step up his game.
Number Three-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: For those hoping for the Ninja Turtles to redeem themselves from their terrible 90's films, you guessed wrong. This film included the origin story of the turtles, as well as fighting Shredder. This included a modern twist, and some pretty decent CGI. Though, TMNT fans really chose the wrong people to make this film. Leaving it in the hands of Nickelodeon and Michael Bay begs for something to go wrong. I mean seriously, common sense people. Not only that, they included Megan Fox. Again. This chick can't act.
Number Two-Divergent: Coming in at number two is, not surprisingly, Divergent. Despite having a mediocre quality book series, people just eat up post-utopian futures. This film follows a not very smart, but smarter than most, girl on her quest to prove her loyalty, and eventually, save her world. With her love of tattooed and muscular guys, and near death experiences, this girl seems to do so. This film had several similarities to The Hunger Games, and didn't even follow the original book. All of this combined left a severely bad taste in everyone's mouth.
Honorable Mentions:
300: Rise of An Empire
The Expendables 3
Step Up All In (obvious)
Maleficent
Robocop
Rio 2
Earth to Echo
Saw
Frozen (Didn't see the movie, but know it was terrible)
Number One-Transformers: Age Of Extinction: This film is pretty obvious for number one. Hey, it's the first time Transformers won number one for anything! This film pretty much makes no sense. Which, is kinda normal. No Transformers movie makes any sense. This film really has no plot, so I can't really tell you what the movie is about. Oh wait, I found the plot. Boom. That's it. Just boom. Michael Bay never fails when it comes to unnecessary explosions and carnage. Due to the fact this movie has no plot, is filled with advertisement, has terrible acting, exploits women and the fact it had a My Little Pony reference, it deserves the number one dumbest film of 2014. On the bright side, wait... there is no bright side.
Got any suggestions? Did I miss any? Just wanna flame at the utter lameness of Transformers? Do it!
