The 15 Worst Movies That Made the Most Money.

Interesting list.

Hancock? I thought that movie was okay, even despite some plot inconsistencies.

Signs wasn't a great film, and did have a bad ending, but overall, it did manage to produce some scary moments for me.

Spider-Man 3? Nope. Sorry, Uh-uh. That was a good film. It wrapped up the Harry Osborn storyline, it adapted Sandman and Venom well, and used Venom to properly touch upon the theme of what makes a hero tick. The only reason it was slammed was because it wasn't as good as Spider-Man 2, which everyone should've known it wouldn't be. Viewing it on its own merits, and not solely on the basis of comparison with the others, I thought it was a good film. It even had less camp than the first two.

Of the movies I've seen:

ANGER MANAGEMENT--This isn't great, but really, it's not like it's any better or worse than several other Adam Sandler films. It's not as good as probably Happy Gilmore, but I like it a lot better than Chuck and Larry.

GODZILLA--This wasn't good.

SIGNS--I agree with Luigi on this. It's certainly better than M. Night's later films. It's worth a viewing anyway.

SPIDER-MAN 3--I have a lot of problems with this film, but the writer apparently had more so.

I'm not sure on the "less camp" angle...but an in-depth discussion of this probably belongs in that movie's thread.

I just can't believe how rude some of the comments are. Fair enough if you don't agree with the list but to make comments like "You need your testicles stomped on" is really awful.

The comments sections of such lists tend to attract the dregs of Internet society.

That's one of the things that I like about our little stretch of the internet. It's moderated and we keep things civilized. Lots of other places where geeks congregate have more of a Beevis and Butthead style of debating.

Heh heh heh. He said "stretch".

Quiet, Beavis. Don't make me have ta kick ya in the 'nads.
