Another Top 10 Bad Movies That Were Successful


there’s only so much success in the
world need that true and these movies
are hogging it all we’ll take care of
them go welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
another top ten bad movies that were
successful this camp is a disgrace some
humans have escaped if they come this
way we will crush them much like our
previous list we’re looking at the films
that have attracted success be it with
money or awards but are largely
dismissed by moviegoers as being generic
or just downright terrible all evidence
to the contrary
number 10 Shrek the third well what
should we do now
what was once a heartwarming franchise
built upon gentle mockery of fairy tales
and the Disney Empire eventually turned
into a pale imitation of its former self
be strong now Coco Pina you listen to
your mama all right
and bananas no more roasted marshmallows
on your sisters here after reuniting
with his beloved and saving the kingdom
of far far away shrek settles down to be
the new ruler of the land but not
without troubles of plenty from Prince
Charming where uh Shrek and Fiona yeah
no bad lacking the laughs tension or
even the stakes of its predecessors the
film feels more like recycled jokes with
a little Justin Timberlake thrown in for
good measure
lame-o you’re late what lack of quality
does not mean lack of box-office
receipts as it managed the biggest
opening day for an animated flick ever
until that point and then what happened
oh what’s it to you it left you the
unfairest of them all and now here you
are hustling pool to get your next meal
number 9 Godzilla Colonel your campaigns
a disaster you weren’t even able to keep
this thing coming – man excuse me
gentlemen but I think we should see this
myths about a monster from Japan sparked
the interest of audiences around the
world but their eyes were not ready for
the terror that awaited them
of course we’re not just talking about
the monster itself but of Roland
Emmerich’s American Godzilla remake
the film’s mega marketing campaign tried
to entice fans with the promise of
something huge much of which may or may
not have been ripped off from Jurassic
Park and cinemas were packed with
excited fans who were met with a
convoluted mess filled with terrible
acting and worse yet a redesigned
monster that was almost unrecognizable
well at least the soundtrack was good
number eight parts of the Caribbean dead
man’s chest
welcome to that in 2003 audiences were
mesmerised by the witty charm of Captain
Jack Sparrow
and begged for more swashbuckling action
is this a dream but the tides turned
even as early as the second film in this
franchise with the terror of Davy Jones
hot on the heels of everyone’s favorite
pirate Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann
set off on another adventure but one
that is in stark contrast to the simple
pleasures of the original hit you feel
good basically serving as a big ad for
the next installment plot lines are
mangled together in this bloated
two-and-a-half hour mess whoa
find a target on the circuit come on the
boss on your suit so thanks guys
way to ruin your franchise shag spa I
love Davis set on number seven GI Joe
retaliation huh that is not gonna count
I get to go again yet another gritty
summer action blockbuster this one
astounded audiences around the world who
wondered whether filmmakers remembered
this was based on a kid’s toy are you
spinning
Gabi you got a covered 360 is spinning
after the less than stellar reviews of
the first film the producers were called
upon once more to create an action
Marvel for the whole family
yeah
originally retaliation was set for
release in 2012 but it was delayed
almost a year so it could be converted
to 3d
we’ll let you decide whether that was
simply a cash grab to justify higher
ticket prices how communications been
cut off no one will know you’re gonna
miss
but with names like Dwayne the rock
Johnson Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum
filling out the cast list it’s no
mystery why this film was so successful
it should freeze dead right number six
Resident Evil retribution this film
franchise is proof that the length of a
series can affect quality the original
Resident Evil predated the pop culture
zombie boom of the mid 2000s but
retribution came out smack dab in the
middle of the zombie apocalypse and
didn’t bring anything new or exciting to
the table concentrate it’s just like a
camera point-and-shoot worse than that
Paul WS Anderson flesh-eating franchise
resets its own unfocused timeline and
obliterates any coherence that remained
but despite all that the filmmakers were
rewarded with truckloads of money for
their efforts which likely came directly
from the wallets of diehard fans of the
franchise
number five grown ups buddy I thought
you’re gonna start working out where’s
that me um you’re fat no the film starts
with a generic premise a group of
friends reunites after 30 years and
shenanigans ensue things go even further
down the drain when you take a look at
the cast list it seems like Adam Sandler
just called his buddies and basically
said let’s get stupid wrong brought to
you by Happy Madison productions this
quote comedy blends together all the
fart jokes and horrendously loud noises
you’d expect stitching them together
with a very thin plot what’s the problem
critics did their best to prevent
innocent moviegoers from subjecting
themselves to this horror but to no
avail of course she’s a nanny when does
the line stop stops right after this it
earned forty million dollars its opening
weekend alone and spawned an equally
stupid and successful sequel and wave
them like you just don’t care
seho number four Planet of the Apes oh
your head the classic piece of cinema
that once starred Charlton Heston has
now been remade into Tim Burton and
Marky Mark’s biggest regret you maniacs
your stinking hands off me you damn
dirty human it takes a certain level of
commitment to make a story about Apes
ruling a planet seems sincere although
it has been done but this reimagining
was full of bland scenes non-existent
chemistry and a completely laughable
twist on the iconic twist ending
despite that it was a hit with audiences
becoming the ninth highest grossing film
worldwide in 2001 and inspiring Tim
Burton to consider remakes again with
2010’s Alice in Wonderland another bad
but successful movie number three taken
three piles man you killed my ex-wife oh
how the mighty vengeance filled Liam
Neeson has fallen but you’re not gonna
kill my daughter with an impressive 9
percent on Rotten Tomatoes Bryan Mills
returns to exact revenge on those who
mess with his family again taking my
phone sending texts and then erasing
them sadly the plot was exactly what you
were expecting but audiences weren’t
expecting just how watered down the
violence and action would be also it was
possible that maybe just maybe the
premise was getting a little bit
ridiculous yet due to the immense
popularity of the series with fans
reminiscing about the good old days of
the original movie taken three was
pretty successful financially
nonetheless you know exactly she were
told don’t improvise try anything funny
they’ll kill you and if they don’t I
will number two x-men origins Wolverine
this superhero team film franchise has
reached highs and lows during its run
let’s not forget x-men The Last Stand
but none was as devastating yet
successful as this installment not about
you low country needs I’m Canadian
enticed by the wonder of a standalone
Wolverine flick with Hugh Jackman at the
helm longtime fans flooded theaters but
we’re left to wallow in the misery of
the meandering mess before them
some specific problems the script was
cliched as hell and it doesn’t hold a
candle to other films in the series
need more reasons to hate on it pry
ain’t melis Deadpool a half-assed gambit
and will.i.am
in a supporting role oh no you don’t get
into round 4 but I gotta warn you
develop a bit of eating disorder we all
got our coping mechanisms trying to whip
them back into shape before we unveil
our number one pick here are a few
honorable or in this case dishonorable
mentions I know you’re gonna find your
way trust me honey because you have the
strength of a lion and the soul of a
poet see cuz I’d miss you babe and I
don’t miss a thing well that’s
disappointing
dad just try try not to make an even
bigger mess of things
number one a good day to die hard good
luck back in the 80s audiences ate up
the story of a brash NYC cop taking on
terrorists because a mother but we’re
Bruce Willis was once a barefooted
badass with an attitude 25 years later
he was a bored looking aging action star
Tony chick smells bad though he was
still capable of bringing in box office
returns bigger than his ego wildest
trouble for just one guy
depressing may be the word that best
describes John McClane’s fall from grace
with the 5th diehard installment a
generic shell of its former glory
what a joke shut up trying to touch
anything all right he’s done off goddamn
damage with terrible dialogue and none
of the joy of the original all right
what get it even more tragic is the fact
that McClane became a supporting
character in his own movie it was a
critical failure but it made almost 305
million dollars so yippee-ki-yay we
guess I wanna wake up in this city that
never sleeps it never slips
