"The Hobbit. It should have been 1 movie but was artificially stretched out to 3 shitty movies in an obvious attempt to cash-grab."

 

"Downsizing"

"I always thought Passengers would’ve been a much better movie if it was revealed that Chris Pratts character had woken up Jennifer Lawrence’s character at the end as a twist"

 

"Jurassic world dominion…dinosaurs have to co-exit with humans will they survive? eh who cares lets talk about LOCUSTS"

"Ender’s Game – should had been a animation movie instead of trying to work with child actors."

 

"In Time starting Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried."

 

"Suicide Squad, hands down. Great concept, but the execution was like letting Joker design your prison tattoo."

 

"Cowboys and Aliens. Better than 3/10 in my book but yeah, great concept and not so great execution. Someone should try again."

 

"Jupiter Ascending

Seemed like a pretty great concept but that movie was just awful. I think it could’ve made a fantastic Netflix/HBO series."

 

"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sean Connery’s talents were such a waste. lackluster script. Would love to see this be remade."

 

"Prometheus: the idea of exploring extraterrestrial space and humanity’s origin was brilliant, but the execution fell flat."

 

"Gonna say Wild Wild West. Steampunk western? Hell yeah.

Admittedly, I enjoyed the movie as it is, despite many valid reasons not to."

 

"Attack of the Clones. If it had better dialogue, and fleshed out Dooku’s motivations better, it would be a great movie. I still think it was higher than 3/10, though."

 

"The Purge franchise"

 

"Hancock had two good concepts combined into one bad movie."

 

"Jumper. Cool idea of a secret society of teleporters, and the idea of someone becoming aware of their powers, and running a afoul of them. Lotta missed opportunities and Hayden Christensen was terrible."

 

"Both Waterworld and The Postman.

I’m a big fan of the post-apocalyptic genre. Kevin Costner was coming off huge after Dances With Wolves and he had two shots at mega-funded films and botched them both. They were corny, badly acted, and way too cheesy for what kind of money was spent to produce them."

 

"World War Z. Just do the actual book."

 

"Alien VS Predator movies

They have Soooo much potential, yet always seem to under deliver"

Interesting concept, but Jupiter and its moons as another solar system within our solar system fell woefully short of the mark. Do you have any idea what kind of havoc would be caused if a second sun suddenly appeared in our solar system?

A third movie could be made to show how we try to survive the well-meaning but poorly thoughtout intervention of the alien species.

Honestly I liked it but the novelization added some stuff that I'm guessing was cut (mostly more between Mina and Sawyer and the beginning of a possible relationship) that made it better. That being said I've never read the comic which is supposed to be massively better (and fairly different) than both.

Sorry, but Passengers was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Just a pleasant happy ending and no "twist" at the end, just to jolt jaded nerves and emotions.

R.I.P.D. had a lot of potential.

#5 but the plot twist was epic and sad at the same time...

#1 Too of the story would have to be cut for it to be one movie and not a trilogy.

#12 The story goes that Will Smith turned down The Matrix to do Wild Wild West.

#13 How can the Star Wars sequels not be on this list if they have a prequel. There is already talk to pretend all three did not happen and reboot the whole sequel story over.
