10 Worst Movies of 2012

As we established in our list of the 25 Best Movies of 2012, it was a pretty great year at the multiplexes.
But in what you are about to read below, well, there is no "good."
Some of these actually didn't do too badly in the box office and one might incite some rage from a certain fan army (sorry guys, but our whole staff agreed!), but either way, we want to know what you think. Read up on our 10 clunkers of 2012 and hit up the comments section below with your two cents.

5. 'Snow White and the Huntsman'
Universal
More like "Snow White and the Hunts-mehhh." Kristen Stewart is great at posing and making tough faces while wearing just-for-ladies armor on a red carpet, but a master thespian she's not. K.Stew has only a handful of lines in this two-hour drudge of a film, and Chris Hemsworth, while great at grunting and looking handsome, is not so great at enunciating. The best part of this movie was watching Charlize Theron as the evil queen Ravenna, melting in and out of various shapes while screaming like a banshee. She's a crow! She's a lady again! She's a puddle! This is great! Oh, now we're back in the woods with Bella and Thor. Zzzzzz. Pass. — KW

4. 'Red Dawn'
Lionsgate
It's never a good sign when a movie sits on the shelves for a few years (jeez Louise, how many spring/summer/fall previews was this thing included in?). But "Dawn" almost looked like it could benefit from its shelving (due to MGM's financial woes), as stars Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") and Josh Hutcherson ("Hunger Games") blew the hell up amid the delay. But nope. America saw "Dawn" for what it was, another wholly unnecessary remake that not only doesn't improve on the original, but taints our memory of it (not that the '84 Swayze edition was a masterpiece). And don't get us started on the amazingly offensive "ethnicity tweaks" done in post-production. What were you thinking? — KP

Resident Evil: Retribution. Christ, was that awful!
turkeybeer 20th-Dec-2012 07:47 pm (UTC)
Still the best Resident Evil movie of the series though
electra_torch 20th-Dec-2012 04:50 pm (UTC)
The Devil Inside is indeed the worst movie of the year and quite possibly of the decade, century, and millennium.
poetic_daze 20th-Dec-2012 04:51 pm (UTC)
how is Prometheus not on this list... i am still pissed
freshoffthefarm 20th-Dec-2012 05:03 pm (UTC)
YUP. I saw it with free passes and even then I'm still pissed.
theblackwidow 20th-Dec-2012 05:15 pm (UTC)
I fucking loved it
la_petite_singe 20th-Dec-2012 04:52 pm (UTC)
Also, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. I love basically everyone in it and holy God, it was still terrible. But you know what got bad reviews and was actually delightful? Lockout. It's so cheesy and ridiculous and it's awesome; Guy Pearce is hilarious.
fabuleuxx 20th-Dec-2012 04:52 pm (UTC)
The five-year engagement was terrible.
jane_wanderlust 20th-Dec-2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
this! my friend kept telling me to stop being negative as I continually near-begged her to leave the theater while watching this. then after it ended, she was like "wow, yeah, sorry about that."

I'm still mourning the loss of that $10, tbh.

I didn't think it was that bad, but it definitely dragged.
chuckisfuckis 20th-Dec-2012 04:52 pm (UTC)
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was fun, imo.
rewrittentime 20th-Dec-2012 04:53 pm (UTC)
i haven't seen much on this list but the dark knight rises was the most disappointing thing i've seen in cinemas this year
stephaniebrown 20th-Dec-2012 04:57 pm (UTC)
ugh yes. it came out a month late over here and after all of the waiting and the buzz and the hype, when i finally saw it, it was like what?!</i>. so wasn't worth the ridiculous wait.
vehiclesshockme 20th-Dec-2012 04:53 pm (UTC)
The Devil Inside was one of the worst movies but best theatre experiences that I have ever had. People were so fucking angry.
ellie_andrews 20th-Dec-2012 05:00 pm (UTC)
I usually avoid spoilers but I'm so glad I got spoiled for that one lol
stephaniebrown 20th-Dec-2012 04:53 pm (UTC)
ngl i actually liked snow white and the huntsman. if there had been a different/better main actress, it would have been better imo.
jane_wanderlust 20th-Dec-2012 04:58 pm (UTC)
your icon makes me happy every time I see it.

flawless princess.
eyduh 20th-Dec-2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
also the kids in Perks of being a Wallflower weren't dressed like they were in the 90s, they dressed like a whole bunch of hipsters and that bothered me

you're supposed to look like you're living in the 90s, not like you want to live in the 90s
hypnology 20th-Dec-2012 04:56 pm (UTC)
I actually liked That's My Boy. Like yeah it was bad, but so bad it's funny sort of way.
firetears_x 20th-Dec-2012 10:53 pm (UTC)
I liked it too. The only thing I didn't like was the outlandish ending. And the whole contrived Andy/Ciara romance at the end. I wouldn't have minded it if they didn't make so goddamn obvious (or if she had more than 1 scene with Andy's character).
insertcandyhere 20th-Dec-2012 04:57 pm (UTC)
SWATH was the only thing I've ever seen KStew in. Woof
freshoffthefarm 20th-Dec-2012 04:59 pm (UTC)
Um, fuck you guys. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was fucking awesome.

Dude threw a horse.

moonrise kingdom
theblackwidow 20th-Dec-2012 05:16 pm (UTC)
wtf that was a good movie
flumes 20th-Dec-2012 05:16 pm (UTC)
it wasn't
spydergamez 20th-Dec-2012 05:43 pm (UTC)
you alone there
ellie_andrews 20th-Dec-2012 04:59 pm (UTC)
Well, I haven't seen any of these...

Although I did think Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter looked fun, ngl.
