Battlefield Earth (2000)

Based on the first half of L. Ron Hubbard’s thousand-page novel of the same name (itself widely panned by critics), starring John Travolta, Forest Whitaker, and Barry Pepper, this film had the third worst 3,000-plus-theater opening weekend up to that time. It was criticized for its poor script, hammy acting by Travolta, overuse of tilted camera angles, laughable dialogue, and several plot inconsistencies. More than one reviewer called the film “Travolting”.[32] Rob Vaux called the film a “crime against celluloid”.[33] Roger Ebert predicted that the film “for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad movies.”[34] It is also on his “most hated” list.[35] The film has a 2% rating at Rotten Tomatoes,[36] and was included in their Top 100 worst reviewed movies of the last 10 years.[37] It won seven Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture and Worst Screen Couple (John Travolta and “anyone on the screen with him”).[38] In 2005, an eighth Razzie (for Worst “Drama” of Our First 25 Years) was awarded to the film.[39] The movie also appeared on Metacritic’s list of the all-time lowest-scoring films,[40] is on the MRQE’s 50 Worst Movies list,[41] and is currently #1 on the Bottom 200 movie list at Everyone’s a Critic.[20] Maxim magazine printed, “Even Quentin Tarantino couldn’t revive Travolta’s career after this movie.”
[edit] House of the Dead (2003)

Directed by Uwe Boll, the film is an adaptation of the 1996 Sega arcade game of the same name, and was notorious for using footage from the videogame in the movie. Both critics and fans of the genre widely rejected the film. The movie is on the Bottom 100 list at the Internet Movie Database,[12] and is currently #2 on the Bottom 200 movie list at Everyone’s a Critic.[20] It also appeared on Metacritic’s list of the all-time lowest-scoring films,[40] is in the Top Ten on the MRQE’s 50 Worst Movies list,[41] and holds a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[42] Said one reviewer on the site: “If you want to see what a cinematic piece of dog barf looks like, go see House of the Dead, otherwise do yourself a favour and play the video game, it’s far more entertaining.”[43] Despite negative reviews, it spawned a direct-to-video sequel in 2006, House of the Dead 2, which was also panned by critics. In 2009, Time listed the film on their list of top ten worst video games movies.[44]
[edit] Catwoman (2004)

Based on the DC Comics character and starring Halle Berry, the film retains next to nothing of the Batman antagonist and the source material. In the movie, Catwoman has actual superpowers, which she lacks in the comics. The lycra catsuit was replaced with slashed leather pants, a bra, and a mask, which also acts as a hat, and she leaps from rooftop to rooftop in stiletto heels. As the movie character differs so widely from her comic book source, the character, as portrayed in this film, has been cited as “Catwoman In Name Only”.[45] It has a 9% rating at Rotten Tomatoes,[46] and was declared “arguably the worst superhero film ever made” by the Orlando Sentinel. The Village Voice summed up reviews of the film under the title “Me-Ouch.”[47] The movie was the winner of four Razzies for Worst Picture, Worst Actress, Worst Director (Pitof), and Worst Screenplay.[48] Berry arrived at the ceremony to accept her Razzie in person (with her Best Actress Oscar for Monster’s Ball in hand), saying: “First of all, I want to thank Warner Brothers. Thank you for putting me in a piece of shit, god-awful movie . . . It was just what my career needed.”[49] It is currently in the Top 10 of the Bottom 200 movie list at Everyone’s a Critic,[20] and is on Roger Ebert’s “most hated” list.[35]
[edit] Alone in the Dark (2005)

Loosely based on a series of video games by Infogrames, and directed by Uwe Boll. Critics from Variety, The Village Voice and various Internet movie sites panned it for a multitude of reasons, including poor script and production values, overuse of slow-motion and quick cuts to optimize the gory content, almost no connection to the game, and bad acting. One review said the movie was “so poorly built, so horribly acted and so sloppily stitched together that it’s not even at the straight-to-DVD level.”[50] The movie has received a 1% rating at Rotten Tomatoes,[51] and was included in their Top 100 worst reviewed movies of the last 10 years.[37] Critic Rob Vaux states that this movie is so bad that “the other practitioners of cinematic drivel can rest a little easier now; they can walk in the daylight with their heads held high, a smile on their lips and a song in their hearts. It’s okay, they’ll tell themselves. I didn’t make Alone in the Dark.”[52] Screenwriter Blair Erickson wrote about his experience dealing with Boll and his original script, which was closer to the actual game itself, and Boll’s script change demands on the comedy website Something Awful.[53] The movie is currently in the Top 10 on the Bottom 200 movie list
