Having watched 88 movies in 2011 means I have seen lot of good films.  But I have also seen a lot of crap.  A LOT.  Here are my bottom 5 movies for 2011.  I haven’t seen every movie released in 2011 so this is not a definitive list.

Dishonorable Mentions:
The Dilemma, Green Lantern, Drive Angry, The Rite

#5
Green Hornet – Rated PG-13

Green Hornet is a bad mix of comedy and drama.  I could never take anything too seriously due to the forced comedy.  If they went straight action, even with the same cast, it would have been a bit better.  The Green Hornet could make a good movie but not a comedy film.  With all the bad jokes I found myself bored by the end.

#4
Sucker Punch – Rated R

I really wanted to like Sucker Punch.  Visually it is stunning but it was too much.  Between action sequences that took too long and the lack of dialogue I lost my way in the plot.  I spent more time confused then entertained.

#3
Gnomeo and Juliet – Rated G

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet told through lawn gnomes.  It only got worst from there.  I never found much of the comedy even remotely funny.  I was never entertained.  But most of my hatred comes from the fact this was once a Shakespeare play but was striped of every thing that made it good.

#2
Red Ridding Hood – Rated PG-13

Red Ridding Hood is another example of style over substance.  This is a basic over done werewolf story.  It seemed most of the cast a flair for the over dramatics.  So when something suspenseful or scary happened all I could do is laugh.  Note to every one, just because your film is set in medieval times does not mean that your dialogue has to sound like Shakespeare.

#1
The Roommate – Rated PG-13

The Roommate looked like it could have worked.  Single White Female in a college dorm.  However I found my self not rooting for any character.  The acting was a bit hammy.  The worst part was the water down nature of any of the “scares”.  There were several parts that would have been cool had the producers decided to let some gore or sex out.  Instead we get things that are half way done and not terrorizing at all.  By the end the clichéd ending made me glad it was over.
