    lol, when does a Spike Lee movie just flows? especially one of this nature...

    Avatar was one. Good story but man, M.Night directed horribly. And the script felt so cookie cutter...Hopefully that's redone

    The american remake of Let The Right One In...the swiss version is so much better..

    Fast 5: ? was a horror movie, it was that horrible...

    The Green Hornet

    The Eagle: who the ? actually thought of that horseshit...

    Zombieland was the ? ...

    Limitless decent but could've been better, Jumper had a lot of potential, Fighting, Last Airbender, G.I. Joe, to name a few.

    Yeah saw She Hate Me a few weeks ago

    It was sub-par and one of Spike's worst films (he'd better come up with a hit soon)

    Hancock

    Will Smith dropped the ball on that film, plotwise

    The ending to limitless was a big ass wtf moment…jumper was like ? really…and Airbender and GI were just let downs…

    let me add The Adjustment Bearau,almost every super hero movie of the past five years not named Batman and Iron Man(i.e. Green Lantern,XMen,Hulk,Thor,Fan4…ect),The Watchmen,From Paris with Love,The Sorcerer's Apprentice,2012…I can go on for a while

    Co-sign Limitless. Dope concept, weak movie overall. Co-sign Thor, too, not the worst super hero movie but could have been so much better and less cliched.

    Spider -Man 3 is one. Having Venom against Spidey in a film should have been classic but it ended up being one of the worst film representations of a comic character Ive ever seen. Iron Man 2 could have been dope but ended up being a comedic, 2 hour Avengers Promotion. Id also say Clash of the Titans. That ? was horrible. I knew it was gonna be ass when I saw the trailer and Im usually against remaking classics but the ? sounded good on paper with what they could have done effects-wise with the monsters and battles with all the technology we have now. It just ended up being ass. The 3-D gimmick didnt help either.

    James Bond : Quantum of Solace (movie is too long and drawn out, too many lulls in the movie)

    The Hangover 2 (just made the movie a bunch of homosexual ? , and the jokes were forced)

    Cowboys and Aliens ( Aliens were weak sauce imo, i know Mexican aliens harder than them mfs)

    The Crazies was wack as ? to me as well

    I agree they straight ? Venom out in Spidey 3…Venom is one of the dopest villains in the Comic Universe but they clowned his ass Green Goblin was more ill than Venom was in the movies

    Streetfighter. Wtf one of the worst movies ever made from one of the best games ever. I know it was the 90s and technology wasn't as sharp as today but damn that movie sucked.

    I always wanted it to be a streets of rage movie but that ? probably would have sucked back then also. Mortal kombat delivered though.

    Also aeon flux. Forced myself to sit through like 25 minutes until it was too much and I had to leave. Weird monkey ? with hands for feet wtf.

    Some movie about fog or mist with clark kent dude from smallville. Sucked.

    Cloverfield.

    How you gonna call a movie Zombieland and theres barely any zombies? That movie spent too much time joyriding looking for twinkies and go back and forth with those two girls. The whole entire movie was like a ghost town with one or two zombies popping out every now and then. Bill murrys house should of been swarmed with zombies when they was having target practice on the balcony. Matter of fact that bill murry scene was the only classic scene in that movie. If that entire movie would of had a horde of zombies like the carnival finale and more eerie moments like that girl turned zombie in his apartment then it could of been a cult classic but they relied on a storyline that went nowhere...potential yes...the sh** no....woody locks himself in a booth and kills all the zombies with two handguns without barely aiming....yeah right.
