| Top 10: Bad Movies With Good Posters |
| Written by Jimmy Bones |

This summer saw huge releases of fated blockbusters that relied more on movie studio marketing teams then on movie quality. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen came out to a highly anticipating audience that were suffice to say mostly disappointed. Terminator 4 although a good movie, failed to reach the expectations with the hype it created. Today we take a look back at movie studio marketing teams screwing us into watching other shitty movies. More specifically we look at awesome movie posters that sucked us into watching awful movies over the last year. Like so many others, we fell for it and cursed those bastards as we walked out the cinema.
1010. The Unborn Actual Plot: A fetus named Jamby haunts his sexy twin sibling because he was UNBORN...sorry, I mean not born.
We Expected: Hot girl walking around in her underwear for 2 hours as a creepy little boy watched. It made made me learn something about myself, just showing ass on a movie poster is enough to part me with my $12 and 1 1/2 hours of my life without giving a second thought. 'John Tucker Must Die' f*cked me in 2007 and I fell for it again. 909. Punisher: Warzone Actual Plot: Ugly bad guy fights even uglier good guy.
We Expected: Gratuitous violence and overacting villains killing at a non-stop pace. Ok, ok....that's what they gave, but the movie still sucked. 808. Babylon A.D. Actual Plot: Angry Italian with a phallic head engages in people trafficking.
We Expected: Vin Diesel in the future kicking ass, flying space ships into bad guys and using his muscles to blow clothes off sexy exotic women. 707. Righteous Kill Actual Plot: Pacino and Deniro team up as two cops hunting down a serial killer to prove to Hollywood that the concept is not yet overplayed.
We Expected: Heat 2. Deniro would scrunch his face and bobble his head in a stereotypically Italian manner and the audience would scream. Pacino will over emphasize THE wrong word in every sentence but it would be f*cking cool anyway. 606. Midnight Meat Train Actual Plot: Angry meat packer loves his job so much he decides to do it in the subway. Writers attempt to release a movie with the stupidest ending ever.
We Expected: Vinnie Jones being the scary motherf*cker he is combined with one of the coolest movie titles of the year was enough to get me lining up in the cinema with a chubby in my pants. But after an hour through the movie you begin to envy the hacked up commuters. 505. The Day The Earth Stood Still Actual Plot: The human race faces extinction unless Keanu Reeves learns the meaning of love.
We Expected: At least 30% of the world being destroyed. We don't feel that is too much to ask. 404. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Actual Plot: Geriatric archeologist solves a mystery.
We Expected: This movie was 20 years in the making filled with rumours of numerous script rewrites and altercations. We would expect something close to perfection but the story looks like George Lucas's attempt to create a stepping stone to Indiana Jones 5, The Legend of Jar Jar Binks. 303. Spiderman 3 Actual Plot: Peter Parker turns into Tony Manero. There was something about sand in there too.
We Expected: Black Spiderman and a list of the worse supervillians any teenage nerd has to face. We thought the screen would be ejaculating coolness. But instead Peter Parker turns to the dark side by getting emo bangs and giving 'Shooter McGavins' to people on the street. 202. Ghostrider Actual Plot: A stunt-man who can't die, just doesn't die upsetting the audience terribly.
What We Expected: There is fire, a disgruntled skeleton dressed like the Fonz sitting on Satan's bike. It would be very hard for this movie to suck? Apparently the director tried very hard. Not only that, but Wes Bentley as Blackheart just ringed of that goth kid in your class that sat outside of prom with his "I don't know if that's a chick" girlfriend cursing everyone in Latin. 101. The Spirit Actual Plot: I completely forgot the plot. I was watching the movie and about 20 minutes in my mind drifted off to trying to figure out the exact words in the 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air' opening credits theme.
What We Expected: Artsy poster that looks like it will give you the right mix, of clever dialogue, awe inspiring cinematography and overly.... Now, this is a story all about how |
