Rotten Tomatoes Wost of the Worst list...

I mean, come on. Really? Not one of the ___MOVIES is in the running for the worst of the decade, but a middling Antonio Banderas film IS the worst? BULLCRAP. I could make a better list off the top of my head. And it would have worse movies, too. Trouble is, RT apparently aren't horror fans, else they would SEE just what I'm saying. Though they do rank the atrocious ONE MISSED CALL remake, so there is that.

[The Raven]

That list is full of cliche 'bad' films.

[Shovelman]

I say it's a fair list, you're just need some midol or something since you're making something out of nothing.

Midol? Not hardly. But a better list from a site that should know better would go a long way to soothing THAT particular complaint. All they're doing with that list is "bandwagoning" on the so called BAD MOVIES and ignoring the films that actually warrant a spot on it. Hell, the Tyler Perry "Madea" films ought to be included on that list too...every last one of em. But they're NOT because for some unknown reason, people are afraid to call out Perry on his bad movies, yet they pile on Ben Affleck or Robin Williams for theirs.

[Shovelman]

You don't even know how RT works do you? If you had any inkling, those cliche bad movies would make sense on that countdown.

[Deadpool is Insane]

I wouldnt call Ecks vs Severs the worst, but over all the list is right. All those movies are pretty bad.

[thelesserevil]

I believe the list is based on the tomatoe meter (aka reviews)

[Mr. Emoticon Man]

I'm honestly surprised by the lack of Dragonball Evolution on that list. Not because I think its a bad movie (it's one of my favorites of the year), but because I seem to be one of only a few who have both seen it and liked it.

I know exactly how it works...it's critical average. RT uses a system where so many good reviews makes a film FRESH and so many bad ones make it ROTTEN. Therefore, the "cliche" bad movies being on the list don't surprise me much, but their PLACEMENT certainly does.

[Shovelman]

As for placement, I think it would be how many reviews are up since most of those movies weren't pre-screened and Ballistic was.

That then DOES explain the lack of ___MOVIES since to my knowledge, NONE of those are prescreened, just to keep bad word of mouth from killing them out of the gate. Ditto for the indy horror films.

[Shovelman]

R....all of those movies are on there. Did you read the whole thing or just the top 10?

[Deadpool is Insane]

Yeah R-Man, the _____ Movies were up there.

Yeah it's based on that

[Thomas Rigby]

This list suffers from a severe lack in Zombie's Halloween flicks and Platinum Dunes' quadrilogy of suck (the TCM remake and prequel, The Hills Have Eyes II and The Hitcher).

[Deadpool is Insane]

It's based on the T-Meter TR.
