Of the ones listed I've seen Rush Hour 3, Oceans 13, and The Number 23. And the only one out of the three that can even be considered bad was The Number23. Both Rush Hour and Oceans were great movies. This is why I hate critics. They're the same people that think No Country For Old Men is movie of the year :roll:
 
[quote name='ITDEFX']wow Resident Evil didn't make the list?[/QUOTE]
Could it be because Resident Evil was actually good this time around?
 
I've only seen 3 of these: Good Luck Chuck, Shoot Em Up, & Oceans 13

None of the 3 made my worst of list and Shoot Em Up was in my top 10. Definetly not a critic friendly movie but I loved it.

Chuck was forgettable but not terrible and O13 was a big step up from 12 but not as good as 11.
 
I think I've become more of a movie snob as I've gotten older. Of course most of these critics are way older than me so when I'm that age I'll probably be pickier as well. Watching the same shit over and over and over probably really gets to them (as it does to me).

I haven't seen most of those and that's because I thought they'd be shitty anyway and watching a shitty movie is 1.5-2.5 hours of wasted time that I could've been playing video games. The only movie I've seen from that list is "I now pronounce you chuck and larry" and it really wasn't that great, I knew it was an Adam Sandler movie, but I had hoped for more. I'll see Rush Hour 3 on DVD just becuase I like Jackie Chan movies and thought the other two Rush Hours were ok (although assuredly this will be worse than the other 2).
 
If you took Shoot 'Em Up seriously, you missed the point. I don't think that this point flew over the critics' heads, but it certainly is possible. My best guess is that they interpreted the cliche and unrealistic elements of the movie - which, while an "action" movie, also pays homage to Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd cartoons - without considering that it's done both with action and a sardonic sense of humor at the same time.

That's the only movie on the list I saw. Ultimately, I don't care what movie critics have to say, and I like what I like, whether they endorse it or pan it.
 
Yeah, despite the fact Shoot 'em Up is listed I'm still gonna netflix it. It looks good to me. Insane action + Clive Owen + Paul Giamatti = win (I hope :)).

Rush Hour 3 was a letdown and Ocean's 13 was extremely over-indulgent.

It wasn't good. It was... just less worse than those other films.

Without a doubt.

Oh, that's because it is.

I refuse to believe this sentence actually exists.
 
I pretty much agree with with list, except for Shoot 'Em Up. I haven't seen but everyone I know that has seen it say it is awesome.
 
Just saw Shoot 'em Up last night. At first I thought it was going to be a serious movie but within 5 minutes you see what it is. After a while I let go and my girlfriend and I just couldn't stop watching. Bad but in a funny way. The skydiving bit was fantastic!

Anyway, Rush Hour 3 should be at the top of both lists. The moronic everything about this movie just can't be put into words. Saw it for free and I want my money and time back. I would rather have my appendix removed again.

As for Resident Evil, it was better than the second POS. Yeah, did it borrow heavily from other end of the world movies like Road Warrior and such? Absolutely. I admit I wasn't thrilled by the ending though.
I thought this would be the last one.
 
These lists are as much bullshit as their top 10. Oceans 13? Really? Love how they always put some shit on there that doesn't belong to knock the establishment down a peg or two. That'll show 'em. :roll:

Shit here's 5 off the top of my head that are definitely worse than most of those.

Whose Your Caddy
Balls of Fury
Skinwalkers
Reno 911
Larry the Cable Guy's movie

I forgot about those shitfests, yeah with those I definately wouldn't put Oceans 13 on there.
 
Out of the 18 movies on the list, I saw 6 of them. I didn't expect much from Good Luck Chuck and Because I Said So (two girlfriend picks) and I was correct. Hostel 2 and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry had their moments. Rush Hour 3 completely fell flat and I thought it sucked. I was actually watching Wild Hogs On Demand last night and I liked it. It wasn't a brainy film but it was goofy and some of the jokes actually catered to adults.

Truth. I love the people that saw something in theaters, but everyone hated it, so they say they hate it too, then run out and buy the dvd the day it drops.
 
[quote name='rodeojones903']Shoot em' Up does not belong on that list.[/QUOTE]
No, no it doesn't. All those other movies are debatable, but Shoot em' Up was great.
 
Actually, Roeper's list is pretty reasonable. That said, who the fuck is Phillips? Because I've got to say, while they might not be Oscar contenders, Ocean, Lars, Shoot 'Em Up, and Hostel are FAR from the worst movies of the year. (Seriously, no Resident Evil or AvP2?) That list just screams "I only like weepy high-drama bullshit because it allows me the pretense of intellectual superiority." Oh, and if you thought "No Country" should be on either of these lists, your opinion on pretty much everything is now null and void.

Oh, you are SO right. I'd disagree on Reno 911, but otherwise, there are at least four genuinely awful movies which could easily replace the dubious choices on Phillips' list.
 
Ocean's 13 is the only one on the list that I saw and I enjoyed it. I probably saw about 3 or 4 movies in 2007 though so I'm definitely no expert.

Yeah, and while i haven't seen all of these, I by far think a couple of the movies up there are better than Balls of Fury. I still remember seeing it, right AFTER I saw SuperBad...now that was a letdown of a movie.
 
2 crappy lists. Oh, we need Ebert back so much. I've seen three on Roeper and 2 on this Phillips' guy list. Shoot Em Up does not belong on any list from last year. That movie kicked ass.

Rush Hour 3 is nowhere near as good as the first two. So it's a let down in that regard but it's far from being a bad movie.

You're not giving Extinction enough credit. And it's not only in comparison to the first two RE's either. Up against the other big "zombie" movie last year, 28 Weeks Later, Extinction still comes out on top.

Another vote for Balls of Fury for the worst of list. The fact that this movie is not on either list just proves again that critic lists are bs.

I have to politely disagree. I felt 28 Weeks Later was infinitely superior to Extinction.
 
I loved Hostel Part II, and I thought it was way, way, way better than the first one. The first Hostel totally skimped on the gore, and Part II did no such thing. They did with this one what they should have done with the first.

Also, I didn't like Resident Evil: Extinction at all. I love the first two films (particularly Apocalypse), and I was extremely disappointed by this one. The people I went with were drunk, and thus, extremely annoying, so that may have contributed towards my dislike of the movie. Perhaps I should watch it again, but I'd rather not sit through it again.

Lars and the Real Girl has been on many critics best of 2007 lists, so that's just ridiculous to put it on the worst 10 list. I haven't seen it, but it looked good. Ryan Gosling is generally great, and the premise is awesome.

Southland Tales is directed by Richard Kelly, so it's probably good.

Those lists, particularly the second one, are absolute crap. Well, Roeper's isn't horrible, but Phillips' is just ridiculous.

Southland Tales has been universally panned.
 
Rush Hour 3 was a dissapointment to me but Its not horrible either.

To me, the worst movie experience last year was Spiderman 3. Watching that film was like getting kicked in the crotch..
 
Shoot Em' Up seems to me to be alot like the Grindhouse movies (planet terror and deathproof): There is a tangible sense that the directors/writers/producers didnt give a fuck about traditional "rules" and just went totally overboard with the cheap cheesy violence/gore fest that can be so fun to watch once you get past the point that they aren't trying to follow conventional cinema rules (like reality, or a cohesive plot).


I also liked Ocean's 13 (and all the other ones, I like "heist movies")

x 2. If it werent for the fact that I went with friends who drove I would've walked out during the emo dance scene if not sooner (the applie pie face).
 
I'd say Balls of Fury was the worst movie of the year. But then I saw Licensed to Wed and I had to give it to that...

O, m, g that movie is terrible.

Josh Karinsiki (sp?) is a terrible actor. He is Jim Halpert and that's it, he cannot play any other role. There should be a law passed where he is only allowed to play Jim on the Office.

So Philip thinks Shootem Up was worse then License to Wed... wow.

That is why critics are stupid. They just do things to cause controversy. It's like the kid screaming, "CHOCOLATE IS THE WORST TASTING THING EVER!" Just because he wants attention.

License to Wed is another movie I never watched all of...it was just boring, stupid, whatever you want to call it. Glad I didn't actually pay to rent it.

Also (flameshield on)

Robin Williams wasn't all that either

Did you like Hostel? If you didn't like it, you're going to hate Hostel II. If you were disappointed (I was), however, then Hostel II totally makes up for the lack of gore in the first. Honestly, the main attraction to the movies is the gore, and the second film totally delivered on that front. It had one of the most graphic castrations I've ever seen, if not the most graphic. I actually cringed, which is rare.

And a lot of films are universally panned. Critics can be (and so often are) wrong.
