Top Movies - 10 Flops of 2015 - Movie Reviews Sites
article2015 Reviews, articleLists, articleSpecials,2015 was a very peculiar year. It launched a lot of anticipated movies, some of which I was really looking forward to see, but not all of them were good. Some were even straight up crap!
We reached the end of the year and as many movie magazines and reviewers do, I decided to compose three lists during the next three days. Today I set up a register of ten movies that came out this year I was absolutely disappointed by. Some of the films in the list I watched but did not have the time to review, so if you have been following my blog for this past year don’t worry if you see a name of a movie you do not recognize from my reviews.
I also want to note that this list is ranked whether I personally disliked it more or less. If there is a movie in this list you did enjoy I apologise; I am not trying to offend anyone's taste, I simply did not like the movie. Please be aware that this catalogue is my own personal biased list and therefore scores I have given movies have no relevance.
So let’s start with my 10 Flops of 2015:
10. Poltergeist - All these remakes and reboots of classic films and close to none manage to grasp the originals soul and message. Poltergeist was a perfect example of why you should not meddle with something that isn’t broken. The original horror shocker from 1982 was good enough, this rehash on the other hand was a complete disappointment and waste of time. I was hoping for a better outcome of this movie, especially since Sam Rockwell (one of the actors I truly respect) is in it, sadly this remake did not manage to capture the mystery and terror of Spielberg’s original. It consisted of a plump story and an over reliance on CGI squirrels. Here is the link to my complete review: Poltergeist Review.
9. Fantastic 4 - This is a movie I gave a mediocre score and one I did not find absolutely terrible but rather disappointing. Don’t get me wrong, Fantastic 4 is a bad movie and shows what happens when the studio and the director don’t get along. The product suffered and that is one of the reasons why it landed on my list. Another reason was that after all it’s hype and excitement Fantastic 4 simply left me with a hollow and empty feeling. It is time for FOX to drop the rights for the Fantastic Four and give them back to Marvel, as they clearly don’t understand the characters. Here is my complete review: Fantastic 4 Review.
8. Hitman: Agent 47 - The first Hitman movie was bad enough so why was it remade? God only knows, but apparently FOX though that if they take the same premise again, with the same writers and just a different lead actor it would make the movie better. Well it didn’t, in fact it made it worse and I am absolutely pissed off for wasting my money to go see this in theatres. Would I have had time to review this, I would have given it a 4 out of 10. This is one of the worst remakes I have seen in a long time.
7. Vacation - A continuation of the Griswold’s family-vacation chaos, but without the magic of the previous films. Vacation stars Ed Helms as a grown up Rusty Griswold who tries to bring his family back together by recreating his favourite childhood vacation for his own kids. Of course things get out of control, but nothing happening in this movie has some sort of comedic value. Ed Helms plays Ed Helms, his children are both unlikeable, leaving Christina Applegate to be the only actress to take serious. This movie took every disgusting poop joke and recreated it on screen, but left the humour at the roadside. Not funny, not entertaining and absolutely painful to watch, I’ll give it a 3.5 out of 10.
6. Seventh Son - I truly believe that the film industry is in need of some dire fantasy movies and early this year Germany was treated with the fantasy epos Seventh Son starring Jeff Bridges. This film though revealed itself to be a snore fest rather than an action filled fantasy blockbuster. It had no story, no purpose and one of the worst performances by Bridges’ seen in a long time. The computer generated characters and creatures looked bad and the main character is a weak and bickering idiot. The only actress that did impress me was Alicia Vikander.

5. Pan - This movie had nothing to do with the original tale by J.M. Barrie, nor did it accomplish to reach the ranks of Disney’s Peter Pan the 2003 live action adaption or Steven Spielberg’s Hook. This film was a mess and a poor attempt to give Peter an origin story, and included a Nirvana cover song, Hugh Jackman as a gay Blackbeard, a white Tiger Lily and an over-the-top Hook portrayal by Garrett Hedlund. The special effects were cheap and bad looking and the dialogue was garbage, leaving Levi Miller to be the only part in this film I enjoyed since he was really trying to give a good performance.

4. Pixels - Adam Sandler did it again! Take the subculture of gamers, give it an alien invasion, add the most unfunny comedian as your lead and you will get an insulting movie that spits in the face of the audience it was trying to reach. I don’t even know how Chris Columbus ended up directing this piece of s***. If you are willing to go through everything that is wrong with this film click on the link: Pixels Review.
3. Sinister 2 - I loved the first Sinister, it was a truly suspenseful and terrifying piece of horror with great performances by Ethan Hawke, Juliet Rylance and especially child actress Clare Foley. Sinister 2 though had nothing of that! It had an uninteresting plot, very annoying child ghosts that force one of the twin siblings (and one of the main characters) to watch the snuff super 8 films for no reason. Summing it up, this horror flop left out everything that is good about the first one and simply took the super 8 gore movies and the characters of Deputy So & So as well and that of Bughuul. If I were to give this horror snooze a rating, I would give it a generous 3.5 out of 10 for the all right performance by lead actress Shannyn Sossamon.
2. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension - When is this going to end? I was not a particular fan of the first one and The Marked Ones was the one of the weakest of the series, with a ridiculous plot that tried to tie the shocker to the rest of the franchise. The Paranormal Activity franchise should have died after the ridiculous fourth film. I am tired of these found footage movies. Why was this even in 3-D? There was no reason for it, except to swindle the honest moviegoer out of some more money. The Ghost Dimension was a pile of crap and would have obtained a 3 out of 10 if I had reviewed it after watching it.
1. Fifty Shades of Grey - There is not a movie this year I hated more than this adaptation of a mediocre book. The book was bad and it did not need a movie, but dear lord did they manage to make it worse. I will give it praise for the lighting and colour palette used, other than that this movie deserves no praise at all. Bad acting, bad script, bad sex scenes! This film was a total failure.
