5. A Million Ways to Die in the West
I expected so much more from Seth Macfarlane's follow up movie to Ted. I really wanted to like this movie, but there just wasn't enough laughs to go around. The laughable premise overstayed it's welcome in the first 25 minutes. The cast do what they can with what they got. Liam Neeson looked like he had fun with the role. Overall there just wasn't comedy to keep me interested. I will be looking forward to Ted 2 of course.
MY SCORE: 5.0/10
4. The Expendables 3
The Expendables 3 was terrible. Not only did it completely ignore everything the first two movies did well, it was rated PG-13. The action was lackluster and overproduced. They also excluded most of the cast in return for much younger stars. There were new additions to cast such as Kelsey Grammer, Harrison Ford, and Antonio Banderas. The only one that stood out to me was Mel Gibson. He had a lot of fun with the role I could tell, unfortunately that wasn't enough to make it entertaining for the audience.
MY SCORE: 4.5/10
3. Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For
I can't believe I am putting a movie with as much nudity that Sin City 2 has on my "worst of" list. It failed to recapture any spark that the first film had, and it never got off the ground. I was bored the entire way through. I felt the production was lacking in many of the action scenes. The stories for each character were lackluster and uninteresting to watch. Many of the actors seem bored completely and no one really stands out. I wish this film came out like five years ago when there was a little momentum coming off the first movie. Maybe it would have been better. The .2 is for the nudity by the way. Would've been a 4.
MY SCORE: 4.2/10
2. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
There was a time that I liked Spider-Man. The 2nd film in the rebooted franchise is without a doubt my least favorite Spider-Man film. An overproduced mess with bizarre music, cartoon character villains, and an awful 3rd act. The green goblin was horrible, and the entire film felt like setup for the next one. I was expecting much more from Marc Webb here in this film. I even liked the first one. It felt so familiar to Sam Raimi's 3rd film in his trilogy. If they plan on having this franchise work they need to do something different. MY SCORE: 4.5/10
1. Transformers 4
Transformers 4 felt like a terrible nightmare that would never end. I can honestly say that I was entertained with the first three films. Not good movies, but they served there purpose. Transformers 4 is almost a parody of itself. An absolute joke of a film. Mark Wahlberg is surely just cashing it in here as the protective father/superhero. When you have a scene with Marky Mark cracking open a bud light and taking a swig in the middle of an action scene; you know it's bad. MY SCORE: 3.0/10
