10. Blended - With Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore starring in both The Wedding Singer and 50 first Dates together which were fan favorites. Blended failed to capture the fun and humor of the there previous films, Blended was dummed down family film, Sandler's just collecting them checks.
9. Lets Be Cops -The initial setup of this film could have been a funny premise for a B-plot on a show but instead, the idea is stretched into a never-ending feature that fails to find any chemistry between Johnson and Wayans. Also doing what so many comedies do and used its best moments in trailers8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - These heroes in an half shell hit the big screen in a .. mediocre way with Michael Bay producing known to most as the man who ruined transformers, Bays name is now associated with a "meh" Turtles movie that had endless amounts of history to draw from, be it the many animated series or the original comic books, they chose to take their own lackluster approach.
7. 300 Rise Of An Empire - I gave 300: Rise of an Empire a shot because I loved the original 300 and Zack Snyder was back in a producing capacity. Little did I know, though, that it would end up being a….honestly, I don’t even remember. I recall a lot of boats and yelling, but literally nothing else about this film.
6. Annabelle - Hey, remember that movie The Conjuring? Remember how it was pretty creepy and based on a true story? Do you also remember how the intro sequence to the film featured the possessed doll, Annabelle?. Well they made a movie about it.. it sucked
5. Transformers 4: Age of Extinction - It had Dinobots and Mark Wahlberg how could this be bad.. sigh it just sucked 4. The Expendables 3 - Sylvester Stallone, refusing to go gentle into the night, drags his old ass action stars along with him now including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson in a most desperate action movie. It's hard to watch the greats brought low.
3. A Million Ways To Die In The West - I think this movie would have been better had Seth MacFarlane had hired another actor for the role. The problem was, we all KNEW we were watching MacFarlane. That, matched up with some fairly flat writing and a few gross out jokes just led to this film being way over-hyped and far too unfunny. Maybe if there was a stuffed bear in it smoking a bong it would’ve worked better. Who knows?
2. Transcendence - Am I the only one who's tired of Johnny Depp? with a strong cast and some heavy themes about where we may be heading, technologically speaking, Transcendence turns into a boring timewasting film with Depp's performance being one of the most phoned in ones I've seen. reminds me of a certain Sandler
And coming in at number 1
was brilliant, and that is such a shame, because most of the other stuff around that moment was just horrible.
The major problem with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was that it wanted to be everything to everyone. It tried to be a love story, a snarky comedy, an action film, a family drama and a summer blockbuster, and in the end, it just felt like a contrived mess that threw far too much at us (which is a lesson they should have learned from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3).
As far as movies from 2014 go in terms of being over-hyped and massively underwhelming
