Wow, really was that bad, huh? Can you give me a quick indication of why? I mean, i find it hard to imagine how something could be so much worse than "Bad Boys 2"...

When I finally saw it (letting it filter all the way down to cable), the only things I wanted to sever were my optic nerves.

I tried to watch that one rainy Sunday morning when I didn't want to go anywhere--and turned the channel after ten minutes. Never saw this "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" flick. The trailers were so bad I avoided it. Same for Eddie Murphy's "Adventures of Pluto Nash", "Norbit", and anything with "Big Mamma" in the title. Thoughts? Anything on here undeservedly, to your mind? Anything not on here that should be? ***************************** http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/worst_of_the_worst/ Intro | How It Works Over the last decade, we've collected reviews for thousands of movies. Most films, even profoundly mediocre ones, can expect to receive at least cursory support from the pundits. However, once in a while, a film will take such a critical drubbing that further attention is warranted. That's where our Worst of the Worst list comes in. We've compiled a veritable cornucopia of dull, foolhardy, and outright terrible films, from legendary duds ( Battlefield Earth ) to chuckle-deficient comedies ( Epic Movie ), from hapless sequels ( Basic Instinct 2 ) to scare-free would-be fright fests ( Alone in the Dark ). We've pored over the reviews to bring you the lowest Tomatometers of the decade -- including several ( All About Steve , Whiteout ) that were released within the last several weeks. In other words, we suffered for our work -- now it's your turn. • Each critic from our discrete list gets one vote, all weighted equally. • Reviews without ratings are not counted toward the results. • Because reviews are continually added, manually and otherwise, we have a cutoff date at which new reviews are not counted. The current cut off date is 9/21/2009. • The movies contained in this list are from 2000 to 2009. • We rank the movies by Tomatometer. in the event of a tie score, the film with more reviews is ranked more highly.
