Van Helsing. I wanted to walk out but I was with two of my friends so I didn't want to be rude and ask them to leave. Turns out they both wanted to go to but didn't say anything either...HA.
I skipped the Passion of Christ all together. And if your not Christian the movie is retarded. It's three hours of some guy getting tortured and eventually murdered.

I'm totally serious. I've watched 6 or 7 movies in the theatres so far this year, but none yet has taken the Passion's spot of the worst one of those.
Not only looking at it as a normal movie (ESPECIALLY technically) did it suck, but as a Jesus movie, it REALLY sucked. Even the Jesus miniseries a few years ago was 10x better. Gibson went overboard in trying to make his audience feel guilty, and left out the good filmmaking in the process.
As for the religious points,I don't think the point of Jesus' existence was to make US feel like we were the ones being tortured. Gibson also took much from the Gospels away and added into, to add into the emotional factor.
I know a few people that went to see this knowing nothing about Jesus or Christianity and game out having no idea WTF was going on. The simple tough it was one of the dumbest they had ever seen. For a non Christian it's looking going to a dialog movie in a language you dont understand.
The strange thing was that the only enjoyable part of the movie for me was at the start with Mr. Hyde. I thought he looked pretty good and could have been far more interesting than the rest of the crap they came up with.
The female vampires were just awful in every sense of the word. I still don't get why they looked more like reptilian harpies than any vampire I've ever seen. The whole egg sac thing made absolutely zero sense.
Everything in that movie is just questionable. I'm extremely tired of vampires coming off like such pussies in recent films too.
