As we enter into the new year of 2025, it is somewhat customary to take a look back at the best and worst of the past year. 2024 brought us some real corkers of bad movies, so to break these down takes a little thought and opinions will vary. Plus it simply isnt possible to watch the full output of the movie studios, it would be a full time job for a rather large team. So here is the list as we see it from the things we have seen, if you disagree feel free to drop us a line.
5 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
A rather disappointing start to this list is the latest entry into the ghostbusters franchise, not since the all female reboot came along have we seen something this poor. The story was unimaginative, the acting barely passable, if it wasnt for the legacy of this franchise this would have been a dud from the start. It did OK but hopefully this wont be the nail in the coffin for our ghostbusters.
4.Rebel Moon part 2
This attempt by Netflix to jump on the Star Wars shirt tails, has simply fallen flat on its face. Many, many critics have noted exactly the same its just boring. The story here rips off the original from the start, and this part 2 does nothing but bore the poor viewer for what seems like hours. It has a single redeeming feature of the effects but other than that how has this not been sued by disney.
3, Borderands
What is there to say about this train wreck of a movie, from the trailer alone it is simply ludicrousness , the casting of Blanchet is the single stupidest thing we have seen in many years, and throw in a now senior citizen of Jamie Lee-Curtis who must have been out of her mind signing up for this and you have something that simply makes us say… WHY! This movie simply tries too hard to make something out of nothing, it is a game for a reason not a literary masterpiece, it has gags that would make a two year old bored and action so stupid you just want to turn it off. Anyone managing to sit through this tripe deserves an award.
2The Crow
For some reason, in a pitch meeting in hollywood, someone stood up and said, we have this cult movie from over 25 years ago, its made us millions it has a cult following the best thats been in the genre.. lets remake it but this time crap! and for no reason we can tell it was made again. This has to be an insult to the memory of the late great Brandon Lee. This remake takes the story throws it in the blender eats it then makes something from what comes out the other end, its the only way to explain it. The movie is so bad many people have said it should be the worst ever. I was trying to think of something nice to say about this, but cant the only way there is anything worst than this out….ever is that gigli and our number 1 exist.
1 Madame web
Was there ever any doubt about this one really, so many other lists, videos, blogs and magazines even have mentioned this one since its release it is bordering on madness. The brains at Marvel decided to make this movie in the vain of the other “women” powered entries into the MCU univers and unfortunately like the others tries too hard to push the female lead. But in this case it fails on so many levels, the story is too thin, yes it is an origin story but its also a bad one, the acting, these actors including the lead give us a performance that would make a fist year drama student cry.. overall it is a worthy winner of the accolade of worst of 2024!
A few honorable mentions – Megalpolis – this francis ford copala movie has been said to be the worst of the year but at this time we simple havent seen it to comment .And Red One, if you watched this as a stand alone movie then, yes its terrible but as a pretty family friendly Christmas movie it actually delivers. Overall the year has brought us some good and some bad but at least it brought us.. things unlike other years, if you agree with us or dont that is all fine. this is just an opinion.. happy new year everyone.
