Worst Movies of 2014

First of the dishonourable mentions that did not make the bottom 5:

- Legend of Hercules (300 style ripoff starring the bloke from Twilight)
– Robocop (vastly inferior remake of the Paul Verhoeven 1987 Classic
– Sabotage (embarrassing B-grade action flick starring Arnold Schwarzenegger fruitlessly trying to revive his “acting” career)
– Cheap Thrills (pointless “juck” movie with nothing else to go on)
– Transcendence (pretentious pseudo philosophical clap trap starring the rangeless Johnnie Depp)
– Godzilla (2nd americanised bastard version of a beloved Japanese Film series, starring 2 CGI Cloverfields, eyecandy wife nr. 69, and american meathead soldier hero nr. 08/15. Godzilla is barely in it)
– Blended (an adam hackfraud sandler movie)
– America (Dinesh D’Souza propaganda movie)
– Annabelle (C-Grade doll horror prequel to the almost-as-bad “The Conjuring”, this movie is so bad that even the director of “The Conjuring” responded to the offer of directing Annabelle with “I’d rather sit on my toilet”)
– Left Behind (a Nick Cage christian propaganda movie. Oh how far he has fallen)
– Dumb and Dumber 2 (does not need a descri
– The Interview (unfunny farce made by 2 hacks, only notable due to a Sony Publicity Stunt)

And now for the nominees for the worst movie of 2014:

1. Spiderman 2
2. A Million Ways to die in the West.
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
4. Boyhood
5. Transformers 4, Age of extinction.

And the Award for worst movie of the Year 2014 goes to…*drumroll

BOYHOOD.

A true turd of a pretend movie, where nothing happens, and nothing is said.
Horrendous acting, Atrocious script, with the only remarkable thing being the gimmicky 12 year long production, this piece of shit still wrapped critics around its smelly fingers, making them praise this movie and its hack director, Richard Linklater, like it was the second coming of Jesus.

While the commercial success of big budget movies like the other movies in the list (TMNT, T4, SM2, RC, GdZ) mark the decline of cinema and the stupidity of the audience, they still did not mark the death of cinema, as they are still seen to be as what they are: bad movies.

Boyhood takes it further.
It does indeed mark the death of Cinema, because it is a terrible movie, being lauded by critics as a “masterpiece”.
