A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Hello all

I trust everyone is well?

I have recently signed up to the Blockbusters store in Newark a as part of the deal I got 14 days worth of free rentals, and much like when I worked at the cinema and got to watch movies for nothing, you're more prone to watch stupidly crap stuff if it's free. So I have decided to compile a list of the worst films that I have watched (in no particular order).

The Three Musketeers (2011)

This was the first that set this blog off. I rented this from Blockbuster having had no previous interest in watching it. It looked absolutely terrible but as I say above, you will rent near enough anything when it's free.

I was just sat there watching this film waiting for something to happen, or at least something that was reasonably watchable, but it never came. It was pathetic that characters were portrayed in this way, such as King Louis, played brilliantly in the 1993 version of the story, is reduced to a petulant teenager in this film, concerned more with appearance than the responsibility he has.

The worst part about this film is that not one character is portrayed well, not a single one, and it got me thinking about some of the actors that are in it. Christoph Waltz was brilliant in Inglorious Basterds and fully deserved his Oscar, since then he has done complete bollocks, and whilst she is very beautiful, Milla Jovovich also chooses a LOT of very crap films. She was brilliant in the equally brilliant Fifth Element, and other than the odd one here and there, she has appeared in so many shit films that it's not even funny.

And then, to round it all off, James Corden. I have nothing against James Corden but I'm not even convinced he was playing a character in this. Much like when Ricky Gervais is in a film, you're never convinced he's actually acting, more being himself.

I can't think of one redeeming feature in this entire film. I really can't.

Sucker Punch (2011)

I got the ticket to watch this for free at the cinema and it was a waste of a free ticket. I think what they were thinking when thinking about this film was "Get some scantaly clad, attractive young women and make them dance around, and then hopefully no-one will notice that there's not actually a plot"....because that appears to be what is actually going on here.

When I say there isn't much of a plot, it's not an exaggeration, there really isn't. Girl gets sent to a mental asylum and all of a sudden she finds herself as a dancer, she imagines herself fighting all of this monsters that is somehow meant to help her escape with her friends.....they never even actually explain how it is going to help. Then there's not to forget the random inclusion of Leonard Nimoy in the story for seemingly no reason, he serves no purpose.

But do you know what I hate about this film so much? It's that it has a brilliant soundtrack. I'd go as far as saying it has one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard, but that doesn't really distract from a shockingly poor film.

The Ringer (2005)

If there's one film that has gotten me so angry in the last few years, it's this. I have a nephew with autism, and I have worked with autistic children, and this film makes me so incredibly angry that I don't even want to talk about it because it would make me that angry!

Hardwired (2009)

You know a film is not going to be good when one of the two main actors is on the front cover, but one of the two main actors' pictures is from another film. Val Kilmer is in this film and he plays a fat scientist with long hair.....whereas on the cover he is in an action pose with short hair.....what?

In theory Hardwired wasn't actually a bad idea for a film, but it is so poorly executed that it makes it unwatchable. I watched this a year ago and I have precisely no interest in watching it again, and because I haven't I have completly forgotten why I hated it so much, but all I can remember is that it was PROPER shit!!
