Worst movies I saw in 2013

Another awful year for cinema in general, full of remakes and excesses. Haven't seen many of the "Oscar movies" yet, but they are usually on the same vein.



10- Taken

After all the hype made by other people, this showed why it was meant to be a straight-to-DVD release. A detective almost as bad as Nolan's Batman punches people in France until he runs out of people to kill.

9- Skyfall

Not as boring as Quantum of Solace, yet less coherent. Bond turns out to be some sort of Scottish Batman who defeats the cartoonishly evil Bardem with a Home Alone scheme.

8- Wedding Daze

An awful romantic comedy made by the book.

7- John Carter

A movie where you can see 300 million dollars disappear.

6- Jobs

Ashton Kutcher shows why everyone hates him so much and his very limited talent, doing a cheap imitation of Steve Jobs in an iPod conference during the whole movie, which itself has a poor script with no climax or clear resolution.

5- Star Trek Into Darkness

Things used to blow up a lot in the first Star Trek, now things are more "blowup-y" in this senseless action space movie with an awful rendition of Khan, who in this universe is not mexican, but caucasian.

4- Man of Steel

A soulless, joyless, destruction-porn version of Superman, with about 3 characters and no clear motivation for anyone to do what they do.

3- A Good Day to Die Hard

Somehow Die Hard keeps getting worse. This movie is just 3 very long action sequences where Bruce Willis happens to be around for no reason (no, really) and then it thankfully ends.

2- Jack & Jill

Adam Sandler's excuse for a movie where he dresses up as a woman, which is the lowest form of comedy. Also, his first deliberate collaboration with Derbez, planning to expand his idiocy empire to the already declining mexican comedy.

1- Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Great actors, millions of dollars, terrible script, terrible direction. This movie literally knocked me out and I had to force me to get up several times to keep watching it. Excessive dutch angles, close ups of Nicholas Cage's face, overused plot, a demon child, lame villains, filmed on a sound stage and parking lot, no connection to it's (can't believe I say this) far superior prequel. Maybe the worst comic book movie ever made (yes, much worse than green lantern).
