Awful....

Every year, Hollywood releases hundreds of movies. Some of them are great, most of them are bad. While there were a lot of very innovative, creative pictures to hit the theaters in 2008, there were at least 5 clunkers I could think of. Here's my list:

Worst 5 Movies of 2008:

5) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - I'll be honest with you, I was really excited for this movie to come out. I've loved the Indiana Jones movies for as long as I can remember. I recall my mom taking me and my brother to see the Last Crusade when I was 6. It was great then, and it's still great now. 19 years later, Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas put together what very well may be the shittiest movie of all time. This movie sucks people. It sucks so much that it makes me angry just thinking about it. I would go so far to say that it's worse than Batman and Robin or Battlefield Earth. Ughhh...



4) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Make no mistake, I could not wait to see what kind of hair-raising adventure Indy would find himself in for this movie. I thought about it for months leading up to its release, and even attended a pre-party where we watched the Temple of Doom and ate pot brownies. I could not have been more disappointed with a summer blockbuster than I was with this steaming pile of shit. It's really, really, really bad. There are way too many scenes to point out here, but I warn you that this movie has a very strong chance of making you want to kill people.



3) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Can you believe that this movie holds a 76% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes? Don't believe me? Here's a screen shot you dummies:

The movie almost made me think that none of the Indiana Jones movies were actually good, but you know, I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark shortly before seeing this deplorable piece of garbage and I still loved it. It's an amazing film that stands the test of time. This movie? Absolutely depressing.

2) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Why is this movie so bad you ask? Because it just is. There's no way to really explain it other than watching it (please don't) or mentioning a few of its shortcomings. One of them being a scene of that assclown Shia Labouf swinging from vines with monkeys. Another being Harrison Ford looking laughably old. One more being the completely incohesive plot and characterizations. The CGI didn't help. It was some of the cheesiest special effects I've seen since Mac & Me (and that's an understatement). How and why did so many people actually enjoy this trash? It boggles my mind!!!!



1) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Oh my god, the more I think about this movie the more I want to punch walls in my apartment. If you liked this movie, you are an idiot. I don't care if you're reading this and you're a friend of mine, you're an idiot. If you ever try to convince me that I just "don't get" this movie or that I should give it a second chance I will stop being your friend. Get over it, don't bring it up again.
