The Top 10 Worst Films of 2017

This was such a great year at movies, and due to my movie cleanse, I skipped some losers like “The Emoji Movie,” “Fifty Shades Darker,” and “Daddy’s Home 2,” but there still had to be some garbage for me to throw out. But I promise you “Justice League” isn’t on it, because I’ve enjoyed it more than these failures.

10.) “The Great Wall”

The Great WallMatt Damon is a great actor, but he has to battle a bunch of video game monsters attacking the Great Wall of China. This is the kind of flop that Nicolas Cage would star in. And even if it did star him, I probably should have skipped it.

9.) “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”

kgc-043-gallery-imageI’ve enjoyed the first movie with Colin Firth and Taron Egerton, but this sequel not only ruined the new co-stars Julianne Moore and Channing Tatum, but it was also CGI-overstuffed, annoying, and tiresome.

8.) “Rough Night”

636331213750470332-rough-night-dom-DF-01367-R-rgbScarlett Johansson and Jillian Bell both did nothing wrong, but this still was an unfunny chick flick, and coming on the heels of “Ghostbusters” and “Office Christmas Party,” Kate McKinnon is one of SNL’s worst stars, period. She can voice cartoon characters, but so far, she can’t play human beings.

7.) “The Dark Tower”

20170329_sha_g90_314We all love Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, but they’re both trapped in this mess, complete with lackluster narrative and bad acting.

6.) “A Bad Moms Christmas”

5.) “Baywatch”

Apparently, 90% of TV hits can’t make it in the movies, and so we have a crass and pathetic disaster with Dwayne Johnson and pretty much everybody else picking on poor Zac Efron.

4.) “Transformers: The Last Knight”

The loud and bombastic action and bad acting in Michael Bay’s “Transformers: The Last Knight” turned my brain into a fried egg. Even my parents couldn’t stand the ride at Universal Studios, Florida. I told my dad he’s lucky he didn’t see this one.

But that’s not the end of my problems.

3.) “The Mummy”

the-mummy-sofia-boutellaTom Cruise’s reputation was nearly ruined in this dreadful reboot of a fun remake of a classic monster movie, but at least he bounced back with “American Made.” And FYI, I just rode the “Revenge of the Mummy” ride at Universal Studios in Orlando, and that was scary as “sh*t” compared to this rotting corpse.

2.) “Fist Fight”

fistfight11211Ice Cube and Charlie Day star in this angry, stressful, irritable, mean-spirited, unhelpful, and unfunny fight comedy. Must every R-rated comedy be so mean? I posted “Avoid “Fist Fight” at all costs” on Facebook, and I’m glad a lot of you did.

1.) “The House”

Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler are both wasted in one of the most badly-acted, humiliating, idiotic, repulsive, ugly, and vile comedies Warner Bros. has ever produced. At the very least, it was skipped and forgotten by almost everybody else, so we’re probably never going to talk about it again.

Dishonorable Mentions

“Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets,” “The Circle,” “The Comedian,” xXx: The Return of Xander Cage,” “The Layover,” “The Mountain Between Us,” “Life”
