You know, sadly, it's probably this. Actually worse than the Bayformers. It's really quite sad that the Wachowskis squandered their last chance like that. Why would you write this. Why would you make this.

Worst Blockbuster of the 2010s

you see the problem with this thread is that i can't even attempt to win an argument about how this film is worse then that film, because i will NEVER advise anyone to watch battleship
Probably Battle Los Angeles. It's the only movie that I genuinely felt ripped off from having paid to see it in a theater. BvS was shit, but at least I could see some legit ambition in it. I was actually OK with Alien Covenant at first, but the more I think about it the more I'm disappointed at how it wasted the interesting mythology established in Prometheus.
For me, Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad, and Transformers 4: Age of Extinction all qualify in this list.
It's between Terminator Gynysys and Suicide Squad for me. Both flaming trash heaps that I'm just thankful that I didn't pay to see. And to be fair, I didn't watch any of the notoriously awful movies like Gods of Egypt or whuthavyuh. I did, however, see Warcraft and thought it was actually kind of fun. At least until the last 10 minutes of the movie that needlessly set up a sequel that's never going to get made. And Fan4stic was bad, but I thought there was actually something redeemable there under all that mess. Completely fell off the rails after the first act, but that first act was like a somewhat interesting pilot of a TV show that you'd at least watch the 2nd episode of before deciding to drop it.
Poor Jai Courtney. Dude seems nice enough and puts in work, but just isn't a very good actor. He was actually one of the better parts of Suicide Squad though, go figure.
Also, I'd say $50m isn't a particularly big budget these days. You have January dumping ground movies hitting that. Even $100m barely qualifies as "blockbuster," since plenty of genre films hit that too. I don't think you're starting to approach blockbuster territory until you hit about $150m budget. Blockbusters are huge tentpole films that are meant to prop up and finance a studio's smaller films. That's why it's called a tentpole. It makes a tent in which the studio fits all of their other, smaller films under.

I loved Terminator Genisys, the movie gets way to much hate. I sometimes wonder if people even understood what they were watching.
One of my favourite movies from last year. The amount of hate it got was ridiculous.
Not my vote, but I'm surprised no one mentioned any of the Resident Evil movies. Not exactly beacons of quality, lol.
Terminator Genisys for sure though, and I'm someone who was okay with Salvation.
