I still dont get what was so interesting about the scientist in Godzilla, he never did anything more then the other characters and his knowladge and connection to Godzilla was rather basic.
While I also dont think anyone performed bad in Sin City 2, the best performance for me was from Ray Liotta. That movie just didnt seem to go anywhere and didnt know what was trying to tell as opposed to Sin City 1.

Have watched Godzilla twice and i still dont remember how the first MUTO died. Thing is with a character that has 25 movies to his name you dont need to hide him. He was even in full view on the posters and dvd art work. I just wished they didnt cut away from the earlier fights. Granted they can hide it with shaky cam or with dust and debris every where but they should have showed it. It would have made the boring humans part more bearable.
Kevin Smith peaked with his first movie, very bad as then he has nothing to work for.....just like M Night. Great directors like Ridley Scott, James Cameron and Steven Spilberg had to go through many bad movies. That increased their learning of film and made them great when they did peak. I always find it funny when i remember that Steven Spielberg directed the first episode of Columbo.

Wait, Maleficent in the top 10? Sure Robocop, TNMT and Amazing Spider-man 2 I can get but Maleficent isn't that bad!
From this list of movies, I only saw Godzilla, which I felt similar to Bob. The movie had two vastly more compelling characters played by Cranston and Watanabe, but the audience was saddled with the most painfully generic protagonist making terrible decisions simply to build tension. We even got pulled away from a monster battle in progress during the Hawaii sequence. Cranston's part was emotionally effective story telling, and the climactic battle was awesome, but the middle was just a slog.
What's "more important" that won't cause a massive fire storm in the comments?Omey said:
I assume if there was it'll probably get over shadowed by something less meaningful but holds more meaning to Movie Bob. So we're never going to get a "In Memory Of Ralph Baer". But hey when that more meaningful thing does happen it'll probably be when Bob is doing another part 2 rant on why he hates Kevin Smith or whatever.Omey said:
I only assume so because it was not feature in today episode nor was it at the top 10 best films of 2014. If he doesn't show it in next week then I guess it was in the "ok" piles.Amaror said:
If people really want to see bob talk about something else, that's ok. If people want him to talk about THAT hashtag, 1: the comments section would get REALLY ugly, and 2, he's already said his piece on his moviebob blog.
Did he title a review "The Movie that Broke Moviebob?" after it? Also considering last year he put Man of Steel at the top and listed it more as a major and biggest disappointment of the year, not necessarily horrible, I think its safe to say The Amazing Spider-man 2 will be at the top.MarsAtlas said:
I don't think Maleficent will show up actually. He gave it a better look than most people did.Scarim Coral said:

Hence the reason I told people to put their heads between their knees and kiss their asses goodbye in the last Big Picture thread. Now I'm even more afraid for my life! So, if you'll excuse me...

My guess for the top worst (in no order)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Transcendence
Robocop
Divergent
The Fault In Our Stars
Winter's Tale
Any of those shitty Christian movies to come out earlier (Son of God, I Origins, Left Behind, Heaven Is For Real, take your pick)

I'd always heard that Bob has a hate-boner for Nolan, but I had no idea it was this....pronounced.
While Bob is free to have his own opinion, to me this list is laughably inane. I agree that some of the films listed easily deserve being listed, but there were far worse films this year than the other listed titles.
'Course, I tend not to look to Bob for an opinion on film. I rarely see eye-to-eye with him. So I suppose this occasion is no different.

I gotta be honest, I almost turned off the video when Bob opened with Interstellar. That film is one of my favourite thing is a long time and I love it to bits. And not as a guilty pleasure, I genuinely think it's objectively good. I can understand it not being someone's cup of tea, but putting it on a "Worst" list? Nope, you pretty much lose me on the spot. I did end up watching the whole thing, and I didn't object to any of the other entries, but still...
I thought that as well, but after watching NC's Disneycember video on Maleficent, yeah people were right when they said it's shit, plus Wicked already did the whole "main villain not as bad as everyone thinks" thing and a lot better tooScarim Coral said:
I don't know, I remember him calling TMNT the worst film of the year by also putting emphasis that it came out the same year as ASM2. Plus there's also the disappointment factor as well when Bob made the mistake of giving Michael Bay the benefit of the doubt in the Big Picture a week before the film came out.KazeAizen said:
Well of the nine films I thought would be in your worst ten so far I have four, so lets see if my remaining five enter into your final ten.
