The 8 Lowest-Scoring Big Movies of the 2010s

The decade of shared universes, ranked from bad to worst. Four are superhero movies. None needed to be this long.

Number one sold the best trailer of the decade, then released the movie.

1. 8
   The Hangover Part II (2011)4.1

   The same movie again, just in Bangkok.

   $586.8 million worldwide on an $80 million budget, so copy and paste worked. Critics rank it above just 21% of notable movies. Even the monkey seems to know it's a rerun.
2. 7
   Passengers (2016)4.0

   The trailer hid the plot for a reason.

   Critics rank it above just 18% of notable movies, yet IMDb still has it at 7.0. Two huge stars on a gorgeous spaceship, and the premise turns it into a 116-minute group-chat argument.
3. 6
   Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)3.9

   Mermaids and Blackbeard, and somehow zero spark.

   $1.05 billion worldwide on a reported $410.6 million budget, and a 3.4 Guru's Take. The fountain of youth hunt makes 137 minutes feel ancient.
4. 5
   Justice League (2017)3.9

   Remembered mostly for one digitally erased mustache.

   $661.3 million worldwide on a $300 million budget, and a 3.9 movie.guru score. It runs 120 minutes, and Superman's upper lip still looks like it's buffering.
5. 4
   Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)4.4

   So messy, even the critics liked it more than fans.

   $1.08 billion worldwide on a reported $593.7 million budget. Audiences rank it above just 23% of notable movies. It spends 141 minutes apologizing for the last movie.
6. 3
   Venom (2018)4.0

   A bad movie with an elite lobster tank scene.

   Critics rank it above just 13% of notable movies, and it still grossed $856.1 million worldwide. Tom Hardy bickering with the goo in his head is a comedy nobody planned.
7. 2
   Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)3.6

   It's called Batman v Superman, and the v takes forever.

   800,801 IMDb votes, the most on this list, and critics rank it above just 19% of notable movies. Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor feels like a startup founder who skipped his nap.
8. 1
   Suicide Squad (2016)3.2

   Great trailer, great soundtrack, edited in a blender.

   $749.2 million worldwide on a $175 million budget, and the lowest movie.guru score here, a 3.2. Margot Robbie shows up ready for a great movie. The edit turns it into a 123-minute playlist.

$32.79 says you still have the Suicide Squad soundtrack on a playlist you swear is ironic.
