1999's Worst-Reviewed:
Chill Factor

People think Cuba Gooding Jr's post-Oscar career was a crash and burn when it was actually more like greasy fiery wreckage slowly descending on America. He was memorable in his first movie after Jerry Maguire (As Good as it Gets, a pretty good flick itself!), What Dreams May Come was an ambitious epic that, through no fault of his own, backfired, and the potboiler Instinct could've been an intense thriller in different filmmaking hands. But the moment we all knew something was amiss at Camp Cuba? Chill Factor, a pale imitation of Wages of Fear and Speed that lacks the suspense of the former and the actorly chemistry that characterized the latter (though considering Gooding's co-star is Skeet Ulrich, that's probably a good thing). Jonathan Rosenbaum brings the vitriol: "This action-adventure movie shows the usual contempt for life, humanity, art, the audience, intelligence, characterization, and plot."

Runners-Up: Eye of the Beholder, End of Days, The Mod Squad
Best-Reviewed: Toy Story 2

OMG John Travolta sounds like comic book guy in battlefield earth! Not menacing at all.

Of the films mentioned I've only seen Christmas with The Kranks which I thought was perfectly fine as far as thoroughly safe family fare goes certainly a lot better than Wild Hogs, The Santa Clause 3, or Cheaper by the Dozen for whatever it's worth.

Good Luck Chuck was the worst movie of last year. This is wrong

"And get me a Royale with cheese!", priceless!

I know it's no big surprise but notice that almost every year the best reviewed film is a product of Pixar.

I just have to say, Chill Factor was unlucky to be in that mess, as ive only seen 2 of the 10 and probably 3-4 runners up (thank RT!). Also Alone in the Dark is officially the worst movie i've seen, Chill Factor looks like The Godafather compared to it.

Did anyone else notice that a Pixar film was listed about 8 times out of 10 as the "Best Reviewed"?

Good Luck Chuck is by far the worst movie of last year, some friends wanted to watch it so we rented it (this was just when I started using RT, and I didn't check before I watched it...) It was awful, definitely the worst comedy I have seen and one of the worst movies period. 0% from top critics and 2.6 avg rating while Because I Said So is 9% and 3.7 avg rating. Why isn't Good Luck Chuck the winner?

Sometimes critics are just plain stupid. I don't care what anyone says about me or my taste in movies, Christmas With The Kranks is a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It always cheers me up after a bad day. I love it.

As for everything else, I've only seen Corky Romano and that had exactly one funny part......."You guys want some cookies?"

Oh, and Because I Said So. Diane Keaton created the most irritating character to ever be on screen. I hate that movie soley because of her. Well, that and the fact that the movie is just plain boring.

Ok, So I totally agree with the whole Pixar thing. Sure they're good movies, but how in the world do they continue to get the best pic. reviews year after year. In fact, Wall-e is sure to get it again this year. C'mon, The Dark Knight was a far superior film in every way. Now I'm not a huge comic buff, but I know a good film and a great script when I see it and Wall-e doesn't deserve all the praise it received.

Also, Alone in the Dark is by far the worst movie of the last couple of years. Its horrid!

i noticed that underneath the runner ups for worst movie, most of the best reviewed movies were animated pixar movies aimed kids. Those movies are great dont get me wrong, but its kind of a sad fact for the majority of hollywood.

I didn't have any issues with the top Worsts of each year, but I noticed at least a couple movies -- "54" and "White Noise" specifically -- that I actually liked. I guess the critics are just wrong sometimes. ;)

I've never sat through "Battlefield Earth", but that clip of the movie was painful to watch. I'd rather watch a 24-hour Kevin Costner marathon than put myself through that entire movie just once.

I actually have always thought that White Noise was a great movie.

Add a pinch of "I'm going to kick your..."
And then mix with explosion until it's a fine paste.
