#10 Terminator: Salvation



Ok, so in the past I made a proclamation that Terminator: Salvation would unseat Fast and Furious (2009) as the best quadrilogy ever. I was definitely wrong. I hadn't been this excited for a movie in quite awhile. However, it ended up being quite the let down. It is basically just a big dumb loud action movie. It offers little in the way of intelligent storytelling that had been demonstrated by other parts of the Terminator universe. I wouldn't say skip the film, but don't go out of your way to see it. The perfect time would be some dreary and damp fall weekend when you happen upon it at the video store.

#9 The Watchmen



Oh my goodness, could an action movie really be this boring? The answer is yes. I guess I knew it wouldn't be good based on the fact that there were no actors in it who anyone had ever heard of, and it was directed by the "visionary director of 300." There were story lines that you would think would be good but in the end it leaves you just bored. It really not even worth watching as an action movie, because in reality no one wants to watch a nearly 3 hour movie just for the special effects.
