The second installment in the "Fifty Shades" franchise sees the return of Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) and Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) in this anticipated sequel. The film certainly ups the ante, introducing a stalker, a traumatic origin story for Grey, an abusive boss, and, if that wasn't enough, a helicopter crash. Despite all of this, the film falls flat in creating tension, both dramatic and sexual, and becomes something of a boring mess, earning it "Worst Sequel" at the 38th Golden Raspberry (Razzie) Awards.

A sequel to a spinoff of a far-more-successful film franchise, "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem," also branded as "AVPR," decided that pitting the titular Aliens and Predators against each other was not enough. Instead, this movie introduces the 'Predalien,' a Predator infected with the Alien, that wreaks havoc on a small town in a bloody but somehow boring massacre. This is the Strause brothers' first film as directors, which becomes apparent in the poorly constructed action sequences and mediocre performances.

This film answers the age-old question, "What would happen to Alvin and the Chipmunks if they went to high school?" Unfortunately, the answer is rather boring, losing whatever charm the first "Alvin and the Chipmunks" film had manifested in the original movie's lead actor Jason Lee being written out the minute the film begins. "The Squeakquel" does introduce the Chippettes, the female alternative to the boy band, but received criticism for somehow sexualizing the female chipmunk form.

Despite topping at the box office upon release, "Ouija" was panned by critics and audiences alike who were unimpressed by this collaboration between Universal Pictures and Hasbro. The plot is somewhere in between "Final Destination (2000)" and "Annabelle (2014)" as a group of teens interacts with a spooky object that kills them off one by one. "Ouija" uses every overplayed horror trope in the book and prioritizes repetitious jumpscares over building any actual tension.

Created by the Wayans brothers, of "White Chicks (2004)" and "Scary Movie (2000)" fame, "Little Man" got the most out of its 2006-era CGI by placing Marlon Wayans' head on the body of child actor Linden Porco because Marlon's character Calvin was a short jewel thief pretending to be an orphaned baby to recapture a diamond he was forced to abandon with a suburban couple—obviously. "Little Man" embodies the worst traits of the Wayans' mindless raunchy comedy and fails to provide enough character and substance to maintain the audience's interest for its duration.

"Fifty Shades Freed" marks the not-so-climactic end to the "Fifty Shades" trilogy. Despite the franchise being known for its scandalous sex scenes, the plot of this film revolves around practically everything but the sex life of the two protagonists. Called the "weakest of the three" by Vanity Fair, Dakota Johnson's performance was the only positive of this melodramatic film.

With all the anxiety over the increased presence of AI in modern society, one needs only look to "Space Jam: A New Legacy" to have their fears quelled. Yes, in the long-awaited "Space Jam" (1996) sequel, basketball star LeBron James is forced to team up with the Looney Tunes Squad to rescue his son, who has been mercilessly kidnapped by an evil A.I. and his Goon Squad. "A New Legacy" was received poorly by critics largely due to its relentless promotion of WarnerMedia characters and confused message.

With a whopping runtime of nearly two and a half hours, "Sex and the City 2" manages to fill this time with very little of note. The first "Sex and the City" film, a spinoff of the wildly popular television show, maintains the sexy feminine spirit of the show—the sequel, however, misses the mark entirely and relies on corny dialogue and excess consumerism to dazzle the audience. Even with the terrible reviews, however, "SATC2" was a fiscal success earning $290 million worldwide on a $100 million budget.

Netflix's "Death Note" will go down in history as one of the most obvious examples of whitewashing in recent years. The film draws from the famous Japanese manga of the same name but decides to relocate the narrative to Seattle, Washington, and cast almost exclusively Americans. Outside of this rather jarring element, Wingard's adaptation ditches the original's subtlety for outright gore and fails to showcase its characters fully as they grapple with intense ethical debates.

"Skyline" marks the next feature film directed by the Strause brothers of "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem" fame. The Strause's affinity for SFX/VFX is apparent in this alien invasion horror film, but where their visuals succeed, their characters and narrative fail. The plot seems to be borrowed from the highly successful "Cloverfield (2008)" and the design of the alien spaceships are reminiscent of "District 9 (2009)," making "Skyline" a somewhat worse version of both.

The iconic combination of actor Macaulay Culkin, director Chris Columbus, and composer John Williams cemented "Home Alone (1990)" and "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)" as iconic pieces of cinema. "Home Alone 3" unfortunately lacks all three elements, introducing a new protagonist and new villains, namely terrorists working on behalf of North Korea. Many viewers deem this film the worst in the franchise, but notable film critic Roger Ebert controversially thinks "Home Alone 3" is better than the first two!

The plot of "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" is somewhat hard to describe. Professor Klump (Eddie Murphy) is set to marry Denise Gains (Janet Jackson), but unfortunately, his alter ego Buddy Love (Murphy) becomes a separate physical entity mixed with dog DNA who attempts to steal Klump's highly valuable youth formula. Needless to say, this sequel has a lot going on—however, despite its insanity and vulgarity, "Nutty Professor II" boasts very impressive makeup skills used to help Eddie Murphy play eight different characters.

A remake of 2008's "LOL" also directed by Lisa Azuelos, this Americanized version seems to lose the spark of the original French film. "LOL" had great potential with Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore starring as a troubled mother/daughter duo, but Cyrus' performance falls flat, and Moore is done no favors by the script. Joe Leydon of Variety describes the film "as a highlights reel excerpting episodes from a season of a sitcom" instead of a coherent feature-length narrative, making the viewing experience choppy and poorly paced.

"Jason X" marks the tenth film within the "Friday the 13th" horror franchise, although this entry takes a marked turn away from horror and into science fiction. The machete-wielding villain wakes up in the year 2455 on a spaceship—however, outside of the new location, "Jason X" follows the formula of the previous slashers beat for beat. In the words of Roger Ebert, "[the film] sucks on the levels of storytelling, character development, suspense, special effects, originality, punctuation, neatness, and aptness of thought."

One might expect a film with "State of the Union" in the title to deliver some sort of nuanced political commentary regarding American politics—"xXx: State of the Union" does not. Instead, it offers standard action sequences and one-liner after one-liner. A sequel to the original "xXx," this installment heightens the series' campy action and provides some fun performances from Ice Cube, Samuel L. Jackson, and Willem Dafoe.

"The Human Centipede (First Sequence)" is the kind of movie one is warned against watching, only to immediately and discreetly seek it out. Then, naturally, the movie traumatizes unsuspecting viewers for life with its incredibly graphic body horror that director Tom Six depicts with an air of seriousness often absent in the genre. Drawing inspiration from real-life experiments performed by Nazis in World War II, "The Human Centipede" is a graphic punch to the gut engineered to deliver shock after shock.

"Spy Kids 3: Game Over" is a film that prioritizes wacky visuals and 3D gimmicks over a coherent plot, as the titular spy kids Juni (Daryl Sabara) and Carmen (Alexa Vega) get trapped in a cyberspace video game world. Critics consider this film a marked drop in quality from the first two films in the franchise, despite all three having the same writer/director Robert Rodriguez. Oddly enough, this film features many impressive actors, including Sylvester Stallone, Salma Hayek, Elijah Wood, and Selena Gomez.

Allegedly inspired by John Cassevetes' 1980 film "Gloria," "Ultraviolet" is a (quasi) vampire film starring Milla Jovovich as the titular heroine Ultraviolet. Set in a future world where society is divided between humans and "hæmophage" (i.e., vampire-like creatures), "Ultraviolet" falls somewhere between science fiction, action, and horror but doesn't quite commit to any genre. The cinematography and special effects feel more like a videogame than cinema, leaving audiences only with a mediocre plot for the 88-minute runtime.

This unfunny anthology film was crafted in the spirit of camp classics like "The Kentucky Fried Movie." It was a star-studded affair that duly failed to live up to its ambitions and thankfully didn't kill any careers. So bad was the movie that critic Richard Roeper famously referred to it as the "'Citizen Kane' of awful."

"The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)" features Nicolas Cage as Nicolas Cage, an actor severely in debt accepting any gig presented to him—one has to imagine one of those gigs was "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance." The unexpected sequel to 2007's "Ghost Rider" saw the return of Cage as Johnny Blaze tried to protect teen Danny (Fergus Riordan) from Satan (Ciarán Hinds) so Blaze could regain his human soul. Surprisingly, one of the writers for this film also wrote 2008's "The Dark Knight," but audiences would never guess that from the nonsensical cheesiness of the film.

Marvel Comics' "Fantastic Four" seems cursed to have exclusively unsuccessful film adaptations, starting with an unreleased 1994 adaptation and ending with 2015's "Fantastic Four," often branded as "Fant4stic." Josh Trank's version comes across as a failed attempt at a gritty reboot, complete with low-energy performances and desaturated color-grading. The plot would much rather tell character/narrative information than show it and contains almost no action sequences despite being an action movie.

- Director: Renny Harlin
- IMDb user rating: 4.2
- Metascore: 22
- Runtime: 99 minutes

Ancient myths and battles have long served as inspiration for big-budget blockbusters; just look at films like "Jason and the Argonauts (1963)" and "300" (2006). Renny Harlin's "The Legend of Hercules" obviously draws on the classic tale of Hercules but decides to do away with most of the actual myth, instead creating an ineffective plot revolving around Hercules (Kellan Lutz) and King Amphitryon (Scott Adkins), the hero's adopted father. Narrative aside, this film relies too heavily on green screen and slow motion but presents an impressive opening sequence designed to imitate one long take.

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" book series notably started as "Twilight" fan fiction written in 2009, creating an unrealistic tone that carries into Sam Taylor-Johnson's 2015 adaptation. Upon the film's release, there was a public uproar about the overtly sexual nature of the film—some found the content horrifying and protested, while others found the sex scenes disappointing when compared to the contents of the book. Drama like that, of course, leads to increased viewership of the film, but that's not entirely a bad thing, as Dakota Johnson delivers a strong performance as Ana.

"RoboCop 3" falls into the category of sequels that simply didn't need to be made as they have nothing to add to their respective franchise. Actor Robert John Burke takes up the mantle of Robocop, fighting the mega-corporation Omni Consumer Products, which takes control of Detroit. This plot is largely ineffective, with critic Dan Stephens writing, "It feels like a children's comic book… [with the] compelling themes of RoboCop diluted or non-existent."

The 2023 release of "The Super Mario Bros Movie" is not the only movie based on the Mario franchise to grace the big screen; "Super Mario Bros." debuted in 1993 and is the first film based on a video game ever made. It was so unsuccessful it caused Nintendo to stop licensing movie rights—what a legacy! The convoluted plot follows Mario Mario (Bob Hoskins) and Luigi Mario (John Leguizamo) as they deal with parallel universes, dinosaurs in suit jackets, and Dennis Hopper as Koopa, the film's version of Bowser.

In 2008, "Norbit" was simultaneously nominated for eight different Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies), including Worst Actor, Worst Director, and Worst Picture, while also being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Makeup. The comedy stars Eddie Murphy as Norbit, a likable orphan; Murphy as Rasputia, Norbit's overweight wife; and Murphy as Mr. Wong, an orphanage owner. While Murphy is undeniably funny, The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the comedy of the film features "​​painfully predictable jokes [that] revolve around just about every lame stereotype in the book."

"Street Fighter" was another video game adaptation of the '90s, but unfortunately, this film was received as poorly as the infamous "Super Mario Bros." a year prior. Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel Guile, a hero of the Allied Forces, "Street Fighter" tracks the rise of the evil General Bison (Raul Julia), who blackmails the government for $20 billion. The film's tone strays from the game, coming across as campy in both humor and visuals, which only ostracizes its core audience—however, Julia's performance is leagues above those of his co-stars and makes the film almost worth watching.

Shortly after Ron Howard's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" came this obnoxious Dr. Seuss adaptation from Bo Welch. The former was box office gold. The latter was a critical flop, with the Golden Raspberry Award to show for it. Lauded primarily for its crude content, over-the-top performances, and ADD-like pacing, it butchered the story's legacy in more or less every single frame.

M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" represented a departure for the director, best known for thrillers with twist endings. Yet it still fell into many of the same traps as his worst efforts to date. Among the gravest offenses was that, despite an intriguing premise and visually enticing trailer, the film was utterly boring.

The absence of Keanu Reeves was greatly felt in this maligned sequel, which put the action at sea and relied on far too many cliches. Pair that with blatantly bad dialogue, and you end up with a movie that should have called it quits as soon as Reeves did.

"The Love Guru" has its place in the quirky-character-played-by-Mike-Myers canon, although unlike "Austin Powers," this installment fell flat on its face. Myers plays Guru Pitka, a spiritual leader trained in India despite his American heritage, who becomes involved with the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team to fix the star player's failed marriage. The plot was buried beneath layers and layers of sex-based jokes. There were a surprising amount of bigger-name actors in the film, including Sir Ben Kingsley, Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake, and of course, uncomfortable cameos from Val Kilmer and Mariska Hargitay.

Middle-aged adults who enjoyed this film as kids are in for quite the disappointment should they choose to revisit it. Loaded with bad special effects, it pits the titular man of steel (Christopher Reeve) against a radioactive nemesis named Nuclear Man. Anyone not wearing Superman underwear has no excuse for sticking around until the end credits.

The original "The Wicker Man" from 1973 earned its place in cinema history as an exemplary piece of folk horror—2006's "The Wicker Man," however, falls flat as horror and instead becomes a lackluster dig at other religions. The basic plot between the two is the same: a young girl goes missing on an isolated island, and the protagonist comes to investigate. LaBute's film stars Nicolas Cage, the officer in search of a young girl. His performance in the film is notoriously unhinged, leading to his character's quote, "No, not the bees! Not the bees!" becoming an internet meme.

"Batman & Robin" is the fourth installment in the '90s "Batman" series, yet it has a distinctly different tone than Tim Burton's first two films. Joel Schumacher's vision opted for the colorful stylized camp of the superhero's 1960s television show as opposed to the darker violent world of Burton—one has to imagine this change was to make the film more marketable to all ages. Unfortunately, this film failed to perform upon release and was destroyed critically, causing this franchise to come to a grinding halt until eight years later when Christian Bale's version of the anti-hero restored the franchise's viability.

By staying true to its source, 1995's "Mortal Kombat" was among the better video game-to-film adaptations of its time. The sequel, however, was a pure cash grab brimming with bad graphics and redundant action sequences. Extreme fighting never felt so monotonous as it does here, no matter how much cheesy electronic music is involved.

Tommy Wiseau's famous folly is shrouded in mystery, such as how it ever found an audience. The story involves a sex-packed love triangle between three urban dwellers or something like that. Bankrolled by Wiseau himself, it's reportedly grossed more than $30 million to date.

The "Scary Movie" franchise reached an embarrassing nadir with this crude collage of cheap pop culture references.

As it turns out, movies featuring talking emojis don't make for the greatest of films. "The Emoji Movie" learned that the hard way, evidenced by its ultra-low IMDB score of 3.4. According to actor T.J. Miller, it was the "fastest-produced animated film in history." Well, it showed.

Halle Berry's star power wasn't enough to save this action flick from the doldrums of bad moviemaking. Thanks to inane dialogue and clunky directing, the naughty comic book character landed on the screen with a dull thud. Berry regrets nothing and certainly not the paycheck.

In what seems to be a twisted version of the fairytale "Beauty and the Beast," Netflix's "365 Days" follows a woman named Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) getting kidnapped by Mafia lord Massimo (Michele Morrone) for 365 days until she falls in love with him. This is no thriller, however, and is instead billed as a sensual romance frequently compared to the "Fifty Shades of Gray" franchise, except with more graphic nudity and sexual assault. "365 Days'' broke several Netflix records due to the sheer amount of people watching across the globe, but is still one of the only movies to ever receive a zero in critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

Based on an award-winning musical, this epic misfire depicts a humanlike cat tribe and their bizarre annual tradition. Something called "digital fur technology" helped turn the actors into cats and set the stage for a disastrous marketing rollout.

There was once a time when parodies were actually funny. The 2000s was not that time. Take "Date Movie" for instance, which puts romantic comedies in its crosshairs and misses the target by a wide margin. Despite the poor reviews, it still took in nearly $50 million at the domestic box office on an estimated budget of $20 million.

Poking fun at movies like "300" and other sword-and-sandal epics, "Meet the Spartans" is yet another sterile parody from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. In addition to the obvious homages, it freely tosses in a healthy mix of pop culture references. Naturally, it made money.

While "Laxmii" should be acknowledged for foregrounding a transgender character/storyline, which is especially rare in Hindi cinema, the film is not a golden standard of representation. "Laxmii" is a horror comedy following a decidedly skeptical man named Asif (Akshay Kumar) who becomes possessed by Laxmii, a transgender woman insistent on revenge. This film fails to hit both its comedic beats and its scary beats, and the plot is weakened by unnecessary side stories and weak dialogue, making it a difficult watch despite its best intentions.

Based on the popular Japanese manga "Dragon Ball," "Dragonball Evolution" had big shoes to fill and a loyal yet protective fanbase to satisfy: needless to say, because it's on this list, it failed. Most notably, "Dragonball Evolution" whitewashed the characters, with the protagonist Goku, the side character Bulma, and the antagonist King Piccolo all being played by white actors. While there are several prominent Asian characters, they're forced to exist within the somewhat racist world of Asian stereotypes—not aided by the clunky dialogue and poorly-executed action sequences.

Like all the other parodies from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, "Epic Movie" earns its terrible reputation one lame joke at a time. It takes on the big franchises of its era and musters nary a laugh. Future historians might one day see this abomination and wonder if our society was suffering from some sort of cultural dementia. Then they'll notice that "Epic Movie" actually made money and have their suspicions confirmed.

They say like father, like son, but "Son of the Mask" argues otherwise. The aggressively stupid sequel to 1994's "The Mask" sees Jamie Kennedy trying to fill Jim Carrey's shoes and failing miserably. No cult following in the world can put this box office dud in the black.

The team behind all the other insufferable 2000s parodies finally delivered a film worthy of its name: "Disaster Movie." This shoddy attempt at cinema tries to mock disaster flicks but mostly ends up mocking itself. An appearance by Kim Kardashian just makes a bad thing that much worse.
