My problem is that most of the movies that would make this list are crap that i would never see. My point here is not to come off as "holier than thou." My point here is that, as a society, we need to stop watching these horrible movies.
As long as they make money, Hollywood is going to keep making them. People need to realize that almost every bullshit sequel (like The Gudge 2) isnt made because there is more of a story to tell. They are simply a grab at a buck by un-creative Hollywood writers and producers. They are always going to go after what they feel is a built in audience...and the world is full of morons. Most people would rather just look at women and special effects than have a "cerebral" experience. Just about any animated movie is going to make money. There is marketing potential, plus the built in audience of every kid in America and there parents. The good news is that, in my opinion, about half of these animated movies are pretty good.
This brings me to comic book based movies. Again, a built in audience. I liked the first Spiderman, the first X-men, The Punisher, and the last Batman movie. All the rest that i have seen SUCKED.
And like it or not, you can usually tell alot from a movie trailer. This is going to hurt some peoples' feelings, but the Ghostrider movie, with Nicolas Cage, is going to SUCK. Do not see this film.
