“The Green Hornet” also promised to be a solid action movie with hilarious accents of buddy comedy, but it turned out to be a sizzling nonsensical 3D film with just a touch of humor here and there.
“This was the very first 3D movie of 2011. It was not a great way to start off the year,” Examiner even writes.
Indeed, not only did it not get critics' approval, but it was also mostly shunned by the same audiences it targeted. In some ways, “The Green Hornet” was also the first flop of the year.
“The Three Musketeers” is up next, landing in at number 8. Despite the impressive cast and the considerable budget, this is one film that could have gone unnoticed.
“Milla Jovovich criticized Summit Entertainment for not promoting the film properly. Summit canceled all critic screenings as well. Anyone who saw the movie can see why they didn’t bother promoting it and why they didn’t want critics to see it before it came out,” Examiner says bluntly.
“Thor,” the first film in Marvel's “Avenger” series was to 2011 what “Clash of the Titans” was to 2010: an example of how not to convert a film to 3D in post-production.
“Glee: The 3D Concert Movie” and “Sanctum” are two more films that shouldn't have been made though, to the credit of the latter, at least it had rather decent 3D.
“Final Destination 5,” the latest installment in the time-enduring franchise is at number 4. Examiner – and many other critics as well – believes it should have ended a long while back, especially since “5” is the worst in the entire series.
As for the occupant of the third spot, “Shark Night 3D,” the e-zine says what best describes it is “a waste of money.”
“As the title suggests, it was too dark to see anything. No tension, no scares and almost no blood, a PG-13 horror movie is almost always a waste of money,” says the publication.
