Robert Pattinson, Gerard Butler and Megan Fox star in 10 Worst Movies of 2009

Can you guess what flicks made the list?

Overall, the last twelve months have featured some very good movies, but boy you couldn't ignore the fact there were some major stinkers along the way. Of course, coming up with a list would be subjective for any critic, but the staff at HitFix had no problem determining 10 prime candidates.  And here's a hint, for various reasons the list doesn't include "Gamer," "All About Steve," "Miss March," "Crank: High Voltage," "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," "Post Grad," "Halloween 2" "Pandorum," "Did You Hear About The Morgans?" or "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" (although from all accounts the last one is prime "worst" material).  However, two Gerard Butler films did make the cut as did releases featuring Megan Fox and Robert Pattinson, but not the ones you'd immediately think of.  Intrigued?  Take a gander at HitFix's picks for the worst in cinema during 2009 and share your own thoughts below.

And sadly, the cycle never ends.  With January dumping, er, movie season right around the corner, there already some prime candidates on the way for 2010's list.

    Wow, really? Just because you found it boring doesn't make it in the top 10 worst films of 2009. Plus given it's IMDB rating of 7.1/10 and majority approval rating on rotten tomatoes, i would say you are in the minority on this one

      Trekscribbler I think that's the problem with 'lists' of this sort. What makes one film bad for one person isn't always what makes it bad for another person; however, 'best of' lists tend to have greater agreement because of the nature of film criticism. I think what one dislikes ends up being influenced by far more personal issues than one likes. That may not make perfect sense (when you read it), but I'm hoping you get the idea.

    Just a correction, the relationship is between Salvador Dali and Federico Garcia Lorca, Luis Bunuel was homophobic. And Javier Beltran played and excellent role as Federico and Salvador WAS that eccentric has he was portrayed by Robert Pattinson.

      Ole I recall reading an account of Robert Pattinson's enactment of Dali after a showing of Little Ashes in a Chicago theater. While in the ladies room of the theater, a fan of Robert's asked an elderly woman what she thought of the movie. The woman said he did an excellent job in portraying Dali as she'd met the man. Note to author of piece: Please correct your flawed information as noted by Eva.

    Totally disagree about Transformers 2; was definitely my favorite. Sure the plot line may be a little ridiculous, but it's about alien robots that take the form of vehicles.... it's not meant to be serious. Turn your brain off and watch. It's an action flick, and a damn good one imho.

    Sadly, when I think "worst movies of the year" I always start by asking myself, "what has Nicholas Cage been in recently?"

    If "Knowing" was bad enough, don't forget "G-Force."

    let me start with critics, just because ur job title is "movie critic" doesn't mean you have to criticize every movie you see, there is nothing more annoying then critics, movies are movies, they're made for our enjoyment, imagination and humor, as long as as movie falls into one of those three categories then its at the least a B grade movie stop taking ur job so seriously, people don't care what you think anyway, if we wanna see a movie then we'll see it regardless if you liked it or not you are pathetic

    Two movies entitled NINE/9 this year. Rob Marshall's musical NINE has nothing to do with the film "9" (the #9 listing.) Thanks for REALLY confusing things. The least you could have done was to at least address the issue?
