Top Ten Most Disappointing Movies of 2015

We had high hopes for these movies but the end results just weren't up to snuff. This list compiles the movies released in 2015 that were the biggest disappointments.
The Top Ten
1 Minions

Definitely not the worst movie of 2015, but a very disappointing one. You only show small bits and pieces of the movie, not 1/3 of it! Take Star Wars and Inside Out for example: They showed very very little of the movie, and the scenes they showed us were scenes that made us interested and ended up wowing us. Whereas this movie showed nearly every scene they found funny and that was mainly what actually made us laugh. And some of the scenes that weren't in the trailer were not funny and unnecessary. Look, this isn't a terrible movie, it just missed a huge amount of the potential it had. But if you like this movie, that's good. It's just MY opinion, and it's great that you can enjoy this movie when I really can't.

I went into this movie with the hopes that it would contain the same intelligent writing and humour featured in both 'Despicable Me' 1 & 2. Well, that didn't happen. Instead I found that I had walked into a movie designed to appeal to the smallest of children and no one else. The story was all but non-existent, the jokes were shockingly simple-minded and feeble (especially when compared to the humour of the series' past), and, sadly, our main human character, Scarlet Overkill, should have been named Scarlet Overblown since she might be the dullest, least menacing, most unintelligent villain ever to exist. I'd even go as far as to call her Scarlet Moviekiller since she is likely the single biggest blunder of the entire movie.

Look this was a very hyped movie yet dissapionting. I went to see this horrible movie myself thinking "it kind of has to do with despicable me so it can't do that bad". Well I was wrong first of all there wasn't enough talking well minions don't talk but all I heard was some stupid language. come on universal at least give subtitles on some sentences. Then the plot sucked. Look it's about the minions past which was very boring. If it wasn't bad enough the movie had a horrible sense of humour. (Minion banana)(other minions hahaa) I'd never in my life recomend this despicable movie ever!

While I liked the first and second Despicable Me with the second receiving two Academy Award nominations, I haven't seen Minions and I refuse to see it due to it's stupid jokes in the trailers, the juvenile humor and it's pretty bad story not to mention the horrible reviews even though my parents and sister saw it. When they got back they said, "You were right, it's bad." What I've heard was that the story was bad which featured a long extended backstory of the Minions which could have been easily used as an internet clip to be cut from the film, with the Minions killing of their previous bosses, like a dinosaur, a caveman, Napoleon, and Dracula. After that they settle isolated on Antartica and easily get bored and face extinction, (which they seriously should have killed off some of them). Then three minions set off to see the world and end up in New York City (the year is 1968 by the way) and look for a villain, they then hitchhike to Orlando in order to get a job with Scarlet ...more

2 Fifty Shades of Grey

Let me be clear that I did not see, nor did I want to go see, this movie. And I did not see it, thankfully. Especially since I am/was currently single and had no girlfriend or wife to ask me to go see it at the time of it's theatrical release, since walking into the theatre alone would have painted the picture of me being a creepy pervert looking for (basically) porn. Well, I am sure a lot of other males and, quite likely, females were looking for just that when they went to see it and the fact that the movie dissatisfied viewers for not even containing enough sex is hilarious to me. Sex in movies is such a simple goal to reach (especially when compared to the challenge of presenting compelling characters, intelligent storytelling, and well executed filmmaking) that the idea of the movie failing at accomplishing THAT, the bluntest and least mentally stimulating thing, makes the movie a complete fail.

I was excited to see this film, but I was pissed off that it will be banned in my country because of religion. I'm not devoted to religion and I don't care what religion has to say about this film. It turned out to be rumours and it will be shown without any cuts. I watched this alone and even though the sex scenes are worth getting an erection, Christian and Anastacia's relationship is deemed dysfunctional, violent, and abusive. Christian Grey is a possessive control freak who stalks and manipulates Ana and beats her for his own pleasure. I'm a feminist and I find this film absolutely degrading and psychologically disgusting and it's a huge NO for women to watch this film, especially those who haven't had the birds and bees talk. It's never justifiable and it's totally not alright to beat a woman just because a man wants to. Even though it grossed more than 500 million dollars, I would never recommend these to anyone to watch in Valentine's Day. I will watch the sequels not because ...more

Having not been able to endure the full movie myself, I have seen videos which made me cringe and laugh at how ridiculous it is. Not forgetting the fact that it is romanticised abuse, completely different to what it is supposed to be. This movie should never have been made, especially considering Dakota and Jamie hated each other and you can see how uncomfortable they both - especially Jamie, who I usually consider as a good actor - in the roles.

This is just plain stupid. It isn't even close to the real thing either. I looked up some videos of this stuff just to see if this was a good representation of the real thing. Its Not. I didn't see the movie but to quote the trailers "I'm going to hit you six times..." In a voice that's supposed to be ominous. They get hit six times in the first ten seconds, at the minimum. Plain bull designed to drive men insane while their girlfriends drag them to see it.

3 Avengers: Age Of Ultron

The most anticipated movie this year, besides Star Wars 7, falls flat on its face. Financially it was a huge success, racking in over 1.5 Billion, however now that we have time to look back on this movie, was it any good? No, it was extremely dull, lifeless, with idiotic character decisions, terrible romance, no story, character development, and a laughable villain. Overall this was the plain, stale and forgettable superhero film I've seen in years, and bottom line, when Hawkeye is your best character, in a movie that has Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor as top billing, you have failed. Avengers 2 will be easily forgotten over time.

Joss Whedon did not do his best work, or at least compared to the other Avengers movie. Natasha was a bar ass, but now is like a mix of Bella Swan from the Twilight series and Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games series. She's a fighter who is desperate for love. Way to go for influencing young girls. Joss Whedon must have thought that "Well I'm adding another female avenger, I might as well make Natasha the star-crossed lover I originally wanted her to be". Scarlett Witch either better become a bad ass, or Natasha should fix her lover-girl attitude.
Also, Scarlett Witch seemed cool at first, but is now very wimpy. Natasha used to be cool, but now isn't. Let's hope they become the badasses they were destined to be.
Last thing, this movie was one of the dullest Marvel movies I have ever seen. There is barely any plot and character development. Unless you include those crappy romance scenes with Bruce and Natasha, and those shouldn't even count. Also, with idiotic characters ...more

It was good but when my friend - who I don't actually like in the first place - wanted me to see it again, I was almost asleep half way through. The only good bit was Pietro. And not to mention Clint's family no-one knew of and - despite all of the foreshadowing of Clintasha - Natasha's new-found love for Bruce. Whedon completely messed up Natasha's character, turning her from a badass role-model to some girl desperate for love.

Fantastic Four was certainly not better than this. Fantastic Four did nothing right at all. This one just didn't have the same charm and good story that the first Avengers had. The first was so hyped and we all knew the sequel wouldn't come close. Hopefully Avengers 3 will redeem the Avengers.

4 Jupiter Ascending

After seeing 'Cloud Atlas', which was an excellent movie by my standards, I was very much hoping that the Wachowski's were moving up once again. Well, this movie sort of killed them, I think. The story was ridiculous and repetitive, the characters were boring and strange (I'm really looking at you, Eddie Redmayne), and our main character, while created to appeal to women for her strength (and whatever other crap they said), is sooo incredibly helpless and oblivious. She's saved by Channing Tatum in basically every action scene and wants little more than just to get in his pants for the entirety of the film. Seriously. "Sci-Fi for women"? Nope. This movie could have had the line "woman, go back in the kitchen" and it would have made the movie more "pro-feminist". The movie is pretty much just impressive visual effects and lobotomised people.

Probably one of the most disappointing films in my life's experience. The action scenes and CGI are incredible, but that's all you're there for. Ten minutes of it is authorising her reign, which was probably inspired from waiting in queue at the bank. So, I apologise to everyone who I was eager to show it to, before I actually saw it.

It's sad that this movie is so horrible because it has such amazing CGI effects and action sequences.

What were they thinking?

5 Tomorrowland

There's not much to say about this one besides that it didn't live up to it's trailer. The trailer made it appear that the movie would be filled with visual wonder and amazement. Well, that stuff lasted for about 10 minutes and (not to give away anything) it was given to us in a way that ended up feeling falsified and empty. It's a real shame, especially after its director (Brad Bird) already gave us 'The Incredibles' and 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol'. We were hoping for more of the same great work from him and we were not given what we wanted. Most of the film takes place at an old farm house, the inside of a pick-up truck, or in a wacky sci-fi hobbyist store. Not exactly breathtaking.

This movie had a good concept. It could have been something like Meet the Robinsons if they didn't complicate things. Brad Bird is a great director, but this is a terrible movie. It's boring, anti-climactic and hard to follow. The long speech towards the end was confusing and unneccesary. An idea that had so much potential blown because they attempted to put in a moral, but instead created a confusing and unending lecture about creativity, the future all balled into one. If the moral was heartfelt and authentic, I might have liked it more, however it left me with a dull, drawn out and confusing plot. It looked good in the trailer, but this is definitely one of those movies you can't judge by a trailer. It looked like an adventure through a breathtaking and awesome future world, but was instead a confusing lecture about what we as society are doing wrong.

I actually really liked this movie. It had a lot of problems, but it was still heartfelt, exciting and full of wonder (really wish I had a better way to phrase that, but I can't think of anything).

Brad Bird disappointed me on this one. It seemed such a good movie in the trailers. I guess you really can't count your chickens before they hatch.

6 Fantastic Four

No no no! Not better than the force awakens. Don't compare a horrible movie with an awesome movie and say the horrible one is better.

For example: I compare Zootopia with Ratchet and Clank (the new movie that just showed yesterday). Zootopia got a 99% while Ratchet and Clank got 15% and I say Ratchet and Clank was better. You see, you should think first before you compare the worst movie ever with the best movie ever. So, Star Wars should be better than Fantastic Four.

I knew this movie wasn't going to do well in the first place because of the first series, and I was right. I feel bad though, because the movie had so much potential and the trailer looked awesome. #SadFace

This should be number two (or one) because I loved the comic and... Kinda the first movie but like some parts, but this movies was trash 1/10

The thing is stupid like the entire movie. It sucked and made me angry when I got out. I don't go in movie stores anymore because I see it on shelfs

7 Terminator Genisys

I didn't hate this movie as much as I hated the big twist being spoiled in the trailers. That ruined it for me. Seeing Arnold back as the Terminator was great, the casting choices for the classic characters were well done, and the special effects were handled well (especially the scenes with the CGI Terminator from the first film - WOW). I would have given credit to the story (even with how confusing it can be) but, like I said, the trailer ruined it. If you don't know the very surprise I am referring to consider yourself lucky. I recognize that the movie was sort of like getting a high-tech lobotomy but I like the odd brainless (but thinks it's brainy) action / sci-fi romp every now and then. I would have forgiven it's flaws if not for the spoiler problem.

Wow seriously. People are watching this film because Terminator 2 was the best. And then the next one was bad. Just get you money back like what haters of Famtastic Four did.

8 The Woman In Black 2: Angel of Death

I am a big fan of the 2012 film with Daniel Radcliffe. So, naturally, I was looking forward to a sequel. The trailer looked promising, the house looked just as creepy, and the idea of the house being filled with children during WWII solidified my hopes that they knew what they were doing. Well, they didn't. There were maybe 3 legitimate scares over the course of the entire film. That's it. The scenes involving the children, themselves, were absolutely devoid of tension and fear, the dialogue scenes (which mostly covered the plot exposition of the first film) were tedious and lasted far too long, and Jeremy Irvine's role in the film was completely useless. He didn't even need to be there.

That's why horror films are dumb these days. No more horror films to be release.

9 Pixels

There was potential for greatness back when the original French short film (with the same name) was released back in 2010. Once I had heard that it was being adapted into a full-length movie I was excited. Then I heard Adam Sandler was going to be in it and my heart fell deep into my stomach. I was so horrified at how bad it would be. And then it came out and proved my suspicions to be true.

I wasn't really disappointed on how bad this movie would be. The first few seconds of the trailer made me laugh at the redicuous plot. But the moment Adam Sandler appears you know it'll lead to disaster.

I thought this movie looked pretty awesome, but when I saw some footage and the reviews, it became apparent that it just wouldn't impress.

The concept of the movie seems cool (since I'm a gamer), but Adam Sandler ruined it. All because of him...

10 Poltergeist

I was actually pleased with this one. I felt it did a respectable job of staying true to the ideas and the tone of the original film and did a sufficient job of bringing just the right amount of "new" to the table. It was scarier (in my opinion - I wasn't raised on the original so I have no nostalgic sentiment for it) than the first one was, it had better visuals (even considering the fact that the original was made in the 80's), and the casting was superior (again, in my opinion). Of course, as you probably know, the general public didn't embrace it as much as I did. It didn't make a huge amount of money and the critics felt it did not differentiate itself enough from the original. So basically, to most people it was a disappointment. To me it was a generally satisfying remake.

Simply gore and jump scares. Not much more to say about this film. It's definitely no comparison to the original one, especially considering the original movie wasn't even based on a clown like this one.

No gore, but all jump scares. Plot wasn't very interesting either, and the effects weren't that good. Acting was also average-bad. Pretty mediocre movie, nowhere near as good as the original. And you don't have to be raised on the original to be fond of the movie lmao give me a break.

Didn't care much because the main kid is a ginger.

The Contenders
11 Inside Out

If you put this, you're saying like, "Fantastic Four 2015 and Fifty Shades of Grey are the best movies ever." or "Zootopia and The Dark Knight are the worst movies ever" or "Star Wars and Toy story sucks"? What's next, you're just going to put The force awakens and Mad Max: Fury road on the list?

The entire movie was nothing but Sadness messing things up. Joy could have put the core memories in the tubes that send them back up to headquarters and it would have been a shorter movie. Have to have a plot, but come on.

How can this be on here? I legit cried during this movie! It has such a beautiful message and everything is so clever and great!

No this one oustanded the expectations. Star Wars was a disappointment not this one. Star Wars couldn't live up to the hype.

12 Star Wars: The Force Awakens

My top 7 worst Star Wars films
7. Revenge of the Sith
6. Attack of the clones
5. The Phantom Menace
4. Return of the Jedi
3. A New Hope
2. The Empire Strikes Back
1. The Force Awakens
Seriously... everyone hated the prequels but I do have to be honest, I liked the prequels better than the original. A new hope and the empire strikes back are terrible. This one is the worst, I would have gave it 5.9 for IMDb, 38 for Metascore, and 45% for rotten tomatoes. Seriously, JJ Abrams is just a ghost of Michael Bay.

This is the worst movie in the entire universe. Daisy Ridley is a horrible actor, worse than Megan Fox. Also, Michael Bay made this movie, he's just defending himself so that everyone will like this movie, making it JJ Abrams. JJ Abram's movies are terrible like Star Trek and Super 8. I booed at the end. How come it was number 3 in the box office and it was nominated in the oscars. Thankfully, it was not nominated in the best picture.

This movie disappointed and angered fanboys for so many reasons: a lackluster re-hashed script from IV filled with innumerable plot holes and insufferable pacing; a total waste of talent from Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Max von Sydow. The script must have been dictated to the writers by Disney's merchandising team. I wonder how much of the $200M marketing budget was used for critic payola?

I loved the first six movies. (I even liked the Phantom Menace) The Force Awakens was a great disappointment. I mean, sure, it had classic stuff from the '70s series: The Millennium Falcon, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, etc. But still, it didn't feel like Star Wars to me.

13 The Good Dinosaur

I honestly don't care about the haters. I really liked this movie, it's not the best Pixar film and not in the top 10 Pixar films either but it's still decent, someone literally commented here that this is the worst movie ever, I know it's their opinion but really? A PIXAR film being the worst film ever? No just no, that award goes to Garbage Pail Kids or something.

This movie was horrid. I thought it would be more about coexistence between humans and dinosaurs, but if you want to watch and find out for yourself, go ahead. Hope you make it out alive!

This is possibly the WORST MOVIE I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE! I feel like pixar did a horrible job with the screenwriting, and this flick is nothing than rather just an insane, grief carrying horror in which you would wish to have never seen with your eyes. I suffered a lot when I first watched it, but If a family member proposed me to watch it again, I would get really scared and a near heart attack and maybe even have nightmares for days. myl. point is, this movie made all of the planet suffer and fear.

Worse than Cars 2 (my opinion) I even hated this more than Cars 2!

14 I Spit On Your Grave III: Vengeance Is Mine

What even is this...

What movie is this?

15 Home

I love the idea of humankind being abducted. I wish they did more with that. Like, what if Tip turned and took over the Earth, enslaving the Boov in revenge?

This movie was good, but I think it's more targeted to a younger audience.

It felt too rushed. Like 5 minutes in and the climax has already happened...

So cute my kids love it! I see that it teaches kids that its OK to be different, and its OK to be friends with different.

16 Jurassic World

This movie sucks. The plot was the same plot of the first movie but takes place somewhere else, has poor scripting, and is more generic and boring. The characters were uninteresting and the movie forgot to give a reason why to like some of them. For example the two kids in the movie didn't help anybody, were one dimensional, sounded like they were winning when they were talking, and they looked like there parents didn't care about them so they sent them to a park by themselves. The visuals look like they were made in 1975 instead of 2015, the first Jurassic park had better visuals than this. The actors looked like they didn't want to be there on set and looked like they were embarrassed. The ending was very lame and some of the scenes before it were rushed and had several plot holes. And this movie has an overrated fanbase that is as overrated as black ops 2. The only positive thing about this movie was Chris Pratt. This is the worst Jurassic park film.

This should be at at least number 5. This movie is a carbon copy of the first one, with two-dimensional characters, a load of disaster movie stereotypes, and CGI dinosaurs when the ones in the original were animatronics and they were perfectly convincing.
I will give this movie a grade of a D+.

I'm a huge hardcore fan of the 1993 original movie and I loved it at first, but come to think about it, it was okay and kind of disappointing. But not as bad as Jurassic Park III!

How is this not in the top 10? It should take Minions's slot for most disappointing movie of the year!

17 Chappie

The foundations of which the movie was based upon were promising. Under the steady-handed direction of a more experienced filmmaker this movie could have been better (I am not saying Neil Blomkamp was not capable - since 'District 9' was excellent and I did enjoy 'Elysium'). This film was just an example of a movie not fully embracing the possibilities of its concept. The idea of sentient robots is a very fascinating subject and has been done over and over without losing its appeal in fiction so the fact that this one didn't work is a shame. People always want to see remakes of the best movies when I think remakes and reboots should come from unrealized ideas and films that could have been done much better that deserve a second chance. This is one of those movies.

The trailer was great. Then I wanted to watch it but it was R-13. but the whole time it was good. But bad reviews. But I don't care about the bad reviews.

The trailer looked fantastic, the concept is great. Why isn't the movie as good?

18 Jem and the Holograms

This movie is not cartoon, it's a musical with the worst songs.

19 Ted 2

The first 'Ted' was a pleasant surprise from Seth McFarlane. Before that movie all we had from him was 'Family Guy' and its related shows (and that was starting to wear a bit thin). Then, along came 'Ted'. It was funny, original, and was, overall, a well-made comedy film. Of course, 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' was a misfire. But then we were told that 'Ted 2' was happening (a hopeful return to form for the inexperienced filmmaker). Well, as is the case with all the items on this list, it was a disappointment. The jokes fell flat at times, the humourless gaps were tedious, and the ending was a weak rehash of the emotional climax from the first film. So, basically, it was like watching 'Family Guy' (it was good at first but got old and is no longer shocking or surprising to anyone).

The first Ted movie was great, but then this...

20 Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2

This is a very crappy movie. Though I didn't have high expectations for it in the first place.

The film is just about making excuses to go to Las Vegas even though I like the place.

21 Barbie In Princess Power

This is my favorite Barbie movie why is this on the list? Sure, being kissed by a magical bug is kinda weird, but other ways of getting powers were taken! I watched this with my little brother (Yes, brother) and he loved it as well.
This storyline was actually quite entertaining to me and my brother! But, to be honest, if it was made with more realistic graphics or with real people and was NOT a Barbie movie, it may have been better.
Still, I really like this movie and thing it shouldn't be on this list. Or at least farther down.

Didn't see it, but I would rather be in vail at winter with only t-shirts and short sleeved pants and slowly freeze with the snow rather than WATCHING THIS.

How about we put all the Barbie movies on this list (that we're made in the 2010's)? They're ALL bad

They make too many Barbie movies. Can't she just die already?!

22 Pan

I don't think it's true that pan is better than star wars.

This movie was much better than Star Wars.

23 The Duff

I agree with the first guy. The movie, literally, is just one big, huge, encouraging for bullying. Just like the book, it's complete crap.

24 United Passions

Horrible horrible horrible in ten million ways. This was worse than Fantastic Four 2015 because this is the worst movie of 2015 and close to the worst movies of all time.

On Google it says this

Box office: $150,000-200,000 (Other territories)
Budget: US$25-32 million
...
Where did all the money go into?!

How is Ant-Man, Star Wars: Force Awakens, Minions ahead of this. It's so boring, the score is like 1% on Metacritic and 0% on rottentomatoes.

1 YouTuber said this was the most dissapointing in 2015, I think 4% on rottentomatoes, and worst opening weekend. And it's so boring.
