I'd like to nominate Van Helsing for Butttastic Film of the Summer. I wouldn't let that guy direct my wedding video for fear he'd fill me in with CGI and inform the audience that thanks to some talking cuckoo clock he's learned that if a magical creature bites me I can defeat my wife in unarmed combat.

Agreed. What's funny is that not a lot of noticed just how about it truly is. And the sad thing is that enough people saw it to justify a sequel although I don't know anyone who liked it. It wasn't even fun-bad. It was just oppressive. (Although one could make a case, I guess, for John Travolta's fey ganglord as having its camp virtues.)
The weird thing is, though, is that when asked what I hated about it I'd have to point out that the revenge genre in general makes me really uncomfortable. But then there's KIL BILL 2, way up near the top of my list.

I think Matrix Revolutions deserves the worst movie of the year award. It was pointless and utterly baffling. Tied with it is Spy Kids 3-D. This movie was stupid, pointless, and the 3-D stuff was awful.
The movie was horrid, I don't much care for the comics, and the fact that Marvel created a superhero that actually turned out to be a machinegun weilding maniac on a killing spree to take out a mob for killing his entire familly seems 'very original'.

Why would you say revolutions was as bad as spy kids. sure it wasn't the best matrix but it was still very good. spy kids 3-d wasn't supposed to be a good movie it was supposed to attract kids, which it did, just like hilarry duff is used to attract kids.
