Number Ten:
The entire cast of M. Knight Shamalamadingdong's The Last Airbender...
- Noah Ringer as Aang,
- Dev Patel as Prince Zuko,
- Nicola Peltz as Katara,
- Jackson Rathbone as Sokka
I have NEVER walked out of a movie, and I saw Tales in the Hood and Cool as Ice at the theatre. And I nearly walked out of the piece of crap. Fanboys and Fangirls were interviewed right after seeing the flick, and no, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE had anything good to say about the movie. Honestly M. Knight, did you even see the show? it was freakin' awesum!! The actors in the live action film were definitely lacking both in appearance and character development as well! The only
one who was even halfway descent was the actress who played Katara. Everyone else was just so dry, lifeless and nothing like the characters in the Nickelodeon Animated Series. Plus the dude who plays Zuko, he looks like he tried to perm his hair and left it in too long on one side! The bloke who played Sokka (by the way M. Knight, it is pronounced sahka NOT soaka!!!....you dig dong) was not funny/goofy at all, and Aang was just pathetic, you don't feel at all for this kid and what he had been through. Now the special effects we ok, but guess what, you can put a turd in a fancy box with bows, and ribbons, and shiny wrapping paper....but it is still, just a turd! This movie stunk on ice!
And on top of all that, this movie was either nominated or won Golden Raspberry awards for:...
Worst Picture | Won | M. Night Shyamalan Frank Marshall Kathleen Kennedy Sam Mercer |
Worst Director | Won | M. Night Shyamalan |
Worst Supporting Actor | Nominated | Dev Patel |

Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel | Nominated | |
Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3D | Won |
Number Nine:
Christopher Eccleston as Destro from G.I. Joe the Rise of COBRA.
Yeah, I know what you are thinking, "Now just a knowing is half the battle-minute there Fanboy, what about Marlon Wayans?"... I will get to that, but again did the morons in charge of casting even watch the cartoon??? I mean crikey, look at the character of Destro...just look at the dude!! He looks bold, formidable; and ultimate badass...and if you ever heard him talk....
Then they give us this guy....
are you serious?
I mean at least if his voice was intimidating, that might make up a little for the poor casting...but its not...
Okay now, about Marlon Wayans.....
He did actually get in great shape for the film, and actually did take it seriously (at least as seriously as Marlon Wayans CAN take it) ....honestly, I am just glad that we didn't hear him do that girlish scream that he likes to do in most of his movies.
Number Eight:
Shaquille O'Neal in STEEL.....
Dr John Henry Irons was a brilliant weapons designer for AmerTek Industries. He fell off a skyscraper while trying to save a friend from the same fate. his own life was saved by SUPERMAN. When Irons asked how he could show his gratitude to the Man of Steel, Superman told him to "live a life worth saving." Durring Superman's final battle against DOOMSDAY. Irons attempted to help Superman fight the deadly menace by picking up a sledge hammer but got buried in the rubble amidst the devastation. Shortly after Superman's death, he finally awoke and crawled from the wreckage, confused and saying that he "must stop Doomsday."
Irons created and donned a suit of powered Armour (similar to Marvel's Iron Man) in Superman's memory.
and you cast Shaq?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight......
Why not team Shaq up with his former Blue Chips co-star Nick Nolte and make a Power Man and Iron Fist movie!?
"Goddamitt Luke Cage, I told you I cant use the Iron Fist while holding a Pabst!....aww hell!"
Number Seven:
Daredevil, with Ben Afflec
Ok, let's face it, Daredevil is Marvel's Batman.
Matt Murdock, stuck blind as a child by a radioactive isotope which superhightens all his other senses. (there is a theory that he CAN actually still see, but like all his other senses are heightened, so is his sight, but too much and his brain cant process all that information.(Kinda like Geordi La Forges visor.) He trains for years, learning how to take full advantage of his heightened senses. As well and developing a kinda of radar and being trained by another blind man Named Stick, one of the greatest martial artists in the Marvel Universe.
And you cast Ben "hum drum" Afflec? You see what drugs do to your brain kids? As I have said before, Ben Afflec with make a great Blue Beetle or Booster Gold. But NOT Daredevil!!!
And I am sorry, his outfit looks like he is headed to a gay dance club instead of fighting crime. Not since Michael Keaton as Batman has there been such a bad choice in casting! Oh yes, I will be getting to Michael Keaton soon enough!
