            Stevennix2001 asked about "5 worst films you've SEEN this year", but not about films produced this year.
            
            Mist has auful absurd final and very many other extravagances and discrepancies. It is also plain, standard and full of cliches.

         Another stinker: "All About Steve". The other movie that Sandra Bullock did last year. What a complete waste of everything.
         
         Oh yeah, I walked out of "Bruno" and despite all the hype and the fact I'll probably get hate mail over this, "Avatar" was a total loser film to me. Effects good, script predictable and awful. We sat and told each other what the next line would be before it was said and were right most of the time. It made for annoying comedy, much to the chagrin of those around us--hence, better to leave. Pathetic.

      I see a lot of movies, being a torrent fan and all.
      
      Two of these, I saw in the theaters.
      
      I enjoyed GI Joe, fun brainless action flick, good visuals - great to see on the big screen - nowhere near being the worst of the year
      
      Fell asleep the first time for Transformers 2, dont think i ever have fallen asleep in the theater before that, Trans2 def makes my list for worst movies of 2009
      
      Street Fighter 2 - terrible! (as expected)
      
      Dragonball (terrible, but maybe successful in being a campy live action version of the cartoon)
      
      The goods was not terrible - if you like Pivens; character as Ari Gold on entourage you would def appreciate The goods - the homeless dj who wont take requests! - hilarious
      
      observe and report - very disappointing

         Watchmen definitely wasn't the worst film of the year, but it was easily the most disappointing (though realistically I should have expected an all-style-no-substance adaptation from Zack Snyder). 
         
         I really gotta see Miss March.  Whitest Kids U Know is one of the funniest sketch comedy shows of the moment, so I think if this movie is as terrible as people say it was probably by design on the part of its creators.

         Watchmen was terrible. I thought it was going to be a movie about superheros, but there was nothing super about these losers. Nothing but a bunch of costumed thrill seekers. The Blue guy was the only one who remotely made sense, and the guy who was killed at the beginning of the movie was a total jack ass. I'm glad he died.
         
         Another thing that I felt jipped on was the inkblot guy. I knew who he was before his identity was revealed. Another really stupid scene was the scene where one of the hero's is in prison, and a guy wants to kill him, so he has one of his goons strangle him through the cell bars. But, our lame hero gets ahold of the guys arms and ties them, and, the most idotic thing happens. Instead of cutting through the bars to get at the hero, they cut the tied guys arms off....what the hell was the point of that!!! Fricken Stupid.
         
         All I can say about it, is I wanted my money back after seeing it, that and Cloverfield, one of the most over hyped movie ever. Total Crap!

      I'm not sure I could name five.  The titles of bad movies leave my brain pretty quickly.  This actually is a bad thing as I have often rented bad movies I had already seen at the theater.  Ok here goes:
      1.Da Vinci Code was very disappointing as I loved the book.
      2. Angels and Demons---see above
      3. Semi-pro---very sad as Will F. rocks my world usually
      
      
      Um, that's it.  I saw a lot of movies in 2009 and a fair number of bad movies but I really can't even remember them or the titles

   Since I can ONLY go with movies I've actually seen (Twilight looks like one of the worst films ever made but I have not seen it) here's my list:
   
   5.) Transformers - It's nowhere near as bad as many "elitists" (and I hate using that word almost as much as I hate using the word "fanboy") would want you to believe, but it's still a bad, bad movie
   4.) Knowing - a movie that I almost turned off...and i NEVER do that (i sat through all of ThanXgiving for heaven's sake!)
   3.) Paul Blart: Mall Cop - I'm sorry, was I supposed to be laughing? at all?
   2.) Wolverine - tedious and boring and not much of an 'origin' story at all, sure we get to see him get plated with adamantium, but there's a little thing called CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT that is nowhere to be seen in this movie, everyone is the same person they were from minute 1 to the end...
   1.) 2012 - I'd rather punch Roland Emmerich in the face than ever look at another one of his films...i can't believe i let myself get dragged to see this, but i had my ticket paid for...i've hated emmerich since 1998 and i still loathe his films
   
   Dishonorable mentions: The Ugly Truth (i thought this movie was LONG and it was only like 90 minutes...), Friday the 13th (it wasn't TERRIBLE but i found it monumentally DULL and nowhere near as fun as I was hoping)
   A couple I've heard were AWFUL but haven't seen yet: Street Fighter, Dragonball, Land of the Lost, Halloween 2 (i heard so many bad reviews that i didn't see it despite actually wanting to when i first heard about it), saw VI (i'd rather saw my own foot off than watch another saw film)

      I saw 3 of the movies on your list, and I didn't think they were that bad. I actually liked Mall Cop, although I thought some of the acrobatics the criminals were doing in the mall was a bit of over kill. But, the rest of the movie was alright, and kind of fun at points.
      
      I also liked Land of the Lost. I liked it, mainly because everything about it was so unexpected, and different. That and Will Ferril (If I spelled his name right) was actually pretty funny. There were so many levels of weirdness that I really liked it. But, I went into it thinking that it was going to suck, and it didn't.
      
      I also thought Semi Pro was ok. But, it wasn't great.
      
      I did not like "The Goods." It was like a your mamma swear fest the entire movie, and I hated it. Worse than Meet the Spartans.

   The first three that come to mind off the bat are: 
   
   Transformers 2 (the "love" storyline was gag-worthy and laughable at the same time.  My eyeballs almost rolled out of my head). 
   
   The Ugly Truth not nearly as funny as it thought it was, and definitely not original
   
   Love Happens disjointed mess that didn't make much sense, and characters I really couldn't have given a crap about
   
   
   
   Also, I thought The Hangover was severely overrated. Hmmm.

      Yeah. I watched about 20 minutes of "the Goods". That movie should have been called "The asses of who gives a S##T." I thought "Borat" was bad. This movie was just one big sex joke after another, it was too repulsive for me to edure anymore of it. So, we switched to "Meet the Spartans." Which had equally repulsive moments. But, at least it was funny.
      
      But, no movie was as stupid, and enraged me more than "Borat." probably one of the most over-rated crapfests I have ever seen in my life. The Critics LOVED this movie, I would like to know how much they are getting paid to say that, because it was just pointless wondering crap.
      
      I would like to know how and why studios put out this stuff.
      I think there should be a place we can go to to ask the studios for a re-traction and refund for films like these. Horrible!

         says the guy who thought "Meet the Spartans" was funny...
         anytime a movie (like Borat) bucks the conventions of filmmaking, it's going to get praised. Borat not only is filmed in unconventional style, but exposes a lot of issues in America (such as the cowboy who wouldn't kiss Borat because it was gay and then said he should shave off the terrorist mustache!) as well as just being plain FUNNY...
         Meet the Spartans, meanwhile, is formulaic TRASH meant to do NOTHING other than cash in a movie as cheaply as possible crammed with as many horrid jokes in 90 minutes as possible...
         
         That's like saying, "I enjoyed The Jonas Brothers Movie but thought The Wrestler was stupid" which is all well and good (that's your opinion) but when you start insinuating that people get paid off to give certain movies praise and other movies poor reviews, you're blurring the line between your OPINION (that Spartans was good and Borat was not) and FACT (that Borat was DIFFERENT if nothing else and Spartans is made under a pre-existing formula)

            So, You're saying that Borat was good just because it didn't follow conventional movie making techniques? Not because it was a good story? Or was fun to watch, or at least enjoyable? Even though it was none of those things?
            
            I rate a movie based on wether or not I like it, not a bunch of "outside the box thinking." If you were going to do that you would probably give movie's like "Jack Ass." a golden medal
            because those movies were garbage as well. No point to them whatsoever.
            
            I got an idea, lets dress a guy up as a mouse and have him roll around in mousetraps, put crabs in guys underwear, and have someone shoot bottle rockets out of their buthole.

               I'm going to eat my words here. I watched both Borat and Meet the Spartans recently, and I actually thought Borat wasn't that bad. There was still some stuff about it that kind of pissed me off, but over all it was ok. However, after watching Meet the Spartens a second time...I don't know what I was thinking. It's really bad. Not very funny the second time.
               
               I also Bruno, and if you take all the gay sex jokes out of it, it's really not a horrible movie. I couldn't pronounce that actors name, but, i think this guy is very brave to trash the hell out of anything and everything. I went back and watched the two movies again, and they really make you think about life and what a bunch of assholes we are. He only tells it like it is.

    To narrow the worst films that ended the decade to five is a mighty push. However here are my top 3 that i regrettably paid at the box office for:
    
    Transformers 2 [Revenge of the Fallen]
    
    A load of gigantic mechanical ball clanging and not enough of anything else. While i found the first entertaining, i feel in retrospect that the film was like a taxi fleeing as you stumble from a nightclub at 3AM, you are too dazed and halfway down the street before your first abusive ramblings surface.
    
    2012
    
    The Day After The Day Before But Not Today, Or is it? Life as we know it is on the brink, again. 2012 embraces it's predecessors as it jumps from one devastating event to the next, with all the mediocrity in plot and real human interest as one should expect from these formulaic regurgitations.   
    
    Night At The Museum 2
    
    A night to forget, and hopefully never revisit. Bigger and Duller, Night At The Museum 2 see's us move to a new museum and a new lisping villain with all the evil tendencies of a kitten. I have not walked out on a film before, but like Shrek The Turd which continues to bring the Irish in me out, it tried my patience. Unfortunately while movies like this continue turning over $260,000,000 after the production costs i am sure more monkey slapping 'fun' is to be had by all.

    Ok. for those of you who liked Borat. tell me if you remember this scene. Which was absolutely pathetic and predictable.
    
    Borat walks into the hotel room where he sees his compamnion wacking off to pictures of Pamela Anderson. A naked fight ensues, and where does end up? In a ball room full of people.
    
    That gag is sold and predictable, I knew they were going there before it happened. It was a wondering, insulting crapfest. You could watch reruns of Benny Hill, and see the same thing.
    
    The only time I thought that Borat was funny was during the first 15 mintues, while he was still in his country. As soon as he came to america, it was just one stupid gag after another.
    I might have laughed once during the entire movie.
    
    Meet the Spartans was also pretty bad, but at least it made me laugh. Borat just made me want a refund.

    These aren't the most terrible movies, because most of what are considered the worst I haven't seen, but these are the most disappointing.
    
    1. Year One - not as bad as I thought it would be, but considering it from from Harold Ramis, it should have been better.
    
    2. The Men Who Stared at Goats - great premise, great commercials, but pretty pointless.
    
    3. Watchmen - Not a horrible movie, but the opening credits promised something amazing and it ended up being good in the first half and only okay in the second.
    
    4. Paranormal Activity - Maybe it was built up too much, but it barely had a plot and was creepy, but definitely not scary.
    
    5. Public Enemies - Usually amazing cast, Usually amazing director, but amazingly bland movie.

       You haven't seen very many bad movies if Benjamin Button is one of the worst you've ever seen...
       
       it's definitely too long and slow moving but there are WAY worse movies out there...at least Benjamin Button is well-made even if that old-lady's voice made me want to put the film on mute

    Worst from 2009
    
    1. Transformers 2. Someone already said it, but that was a stinker.
    2. Shutter. Didn't get through this trite POS.
    3. Bruno. I like Borat, but this was epic fail.
    4. Fighting. This was pretty much a copycat of "Lionheart"
