As a fellow actor (though not comparable to him of course), I can say that if you chose acting as a career, you love it and it's not a career, it's a passion.
rockyroo10 I think it will be bewilderingly bad as opposed to outright offensive like Dirty Grandpa - but that could edge it in an "I expected better from you" kind of way.
I wanted to feel like a bigger man, by loving the "best of", in a better way than, the "worst of". But I was rolling in tears with this episode. This is pure comedic gold.
If you attack critics on social media and not through your movies, then you're not a good director. Look at Birdman, a great example of using a movie to have a go at reviewers. I, Robot was good, but that was a fluke for Gods of Egypt director.
I remember when London Has Fallen came out and me and my friends literally said that they will cast one British actor to serve the tea and crumpets while the rest of London strangely is populated by Americans. By the looks of things here our thesis seems to be pretty accurate 😁
Another bad thing about London Has Fallen. Every video of it on youtube has people in the comments section proclaiming; "Dis will actually be London very soon"

Mark only put it on here because of how grating Jesse Eisenberg is. He found it to be a disappointing affair as a whole, but Eisenberg's presence is what pushed him to put in the bottom spot. I guarantee you, by the time the year is over, BVS won't be on Kermode's worst.
It had a huge budget, tons of source material and plenty of talent yet it was a mess of a film, it should have done better but it was massively disappointing and that's why it's rightfully there
If you're talking about the newest one, that came out in July and this list only spans Jan-Jun of this year. Also, I don't think he found it too horrible, so it might not even make the list at the end of the year. Especially if we get more Gods of Egypt and London has Fallen types.
It would be better in London's Fallen if the terrorists chose really daft land marks to attack - Stonehenge, The white cliffs of Dover, Hadrian's Wall, The Angel of the North etc etc.
I cannot believe that the same man who directed something as dark and wonderful as The Crow was responsible for something as monumentally stupid as Gods Of Egypt-that makes me sad.
Worst Nr. 10 to Nr. 6 -> recap Nr.10 to Nr. 6 ->1 week later recap of Nr. 10 to Nr. 6 -> Nr. 5 to Nr. 1 -> recap of Nr. 10 to Nr. 1 I feel like I'm studying for a test ...
A worse film than Dirty Grandpa came out in that period. It might be the worst thing ever committed to film. It might be the worst artistic venture ever offered. It might be the worst thing that we - the species who invented genocide and necrophilia - have ever done. It is Sacha Baron Cohen's Grimsby. And it is horrific. How it didn't make Mark's list I will never know.
Mean Streets, The Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, Once Upon a Time in America, The Untouchables, Midnight Run, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat... ...Dirty Grandpa :(
Comedies can only be properly judged when watched: alone, sober and in a neutral mood. There's not a lot of movies that suddenly aren't that funny then.
I tried watching London Has Fallen. I shut it off after 40 minutes. It reminded me of all those bad mid ter action films from the 1990s you'd see on cable or the video store shelves.
Same. Its depressing how bad the action film Genre has become these days. Or maybe we were just lucky growing up in the 80s with things like Aliens, Predator, Conan, Robocop, Indiana Jones, Big Trouble in Chine etc. I think I snoozed through London has fallen, Gods of Egypt, Seventh son etc. Just overblown CGI these days no characters
Think we all knew Dirty Grandpa would top the list. Thank you soooo much for including London Has Fallen in the top 3. Hated that film with a passion!!!
Gods of Egypt was horrible, but it was exactly the kind of bonkers mess I was expecting and as a result I kind of enjoyed it. I'm not saying it doesn't deserve a spot on the list, but it's one of my 'so bad it's good' movies. London Has Fallen was just a nasty violent, jingoistic macho crapfest. Definitely worse than GoE.
Gods of Egypt was stupid, but definitely not bad. It wasn't trying to be anything other than a reasonably fun, action fantasy. And it delivered as far as I'm concerned. I think Kermode has made his loathing for the film quite personal.
Mark, in the same vein as you described God's of Egypt. Let me say with support from a lot of those you shoved aside. If someone made a movie as terrible as Ghost busters, it is no wonder they wanted to run around screaming racist and sexist to anyone who had a different opinion. " I understand......I understand"
I think for some reason De Niro has become obsessed with adding a comedic layer to his repertoire. He seems to genuinely believe in these horrendous comedy films, and comedy roles he accepts. Sad, as his earlier work is the stuff of genius.
For this movie, I pray to God De Niro wins the Razzie for Worst Actor. Give the movie Razzies for Worst Picture, Director, Screenplay and On-Screen Combo as well.
Please. let #1 be 10 Cloverfield Ln.! My top three worst movies that I am seen are at #1 10 Cloverfield Lane. #2 Suicide Squad, and at #3 Independance Day: Resurgence.
Gods of Egypt was mediocre, but had its cheesily enjoyable parts - the film itself wasn't offensively bad (even if the casting was). Everything else on this list is the kind of stuff I stay away from like kryptonite anyway, so I wouldn't know whether they all merit worst-of-the-year status.
It might be the most disappointingly terrible film this year but that doesn't make it the worst. 10th place seems fair. Gods of Egypt was even stupider, Zoolander 2 (which somehow missed this list) was even more scrappy and overlong and I haven't seen Bad Grandpa but I'd probably rather make myself watch all of BvS again than sit through even the trailer.
So, just to be clear. These are the worst films in the UK for just half of one year. Just to get some perspective here. How many American made films are brought into the UK during an average year? It seems to me that most of these clinkers are American. Any Really bad UK made films out there? Just for comparison and contrast, That is? Or has America done it again, and just managed to sop up all of the very worst in the entire world today?
Joshua Price That's _one_ thing. But it's just: "let's do the other movies but in a terrible version." Is really what kills it. I consider Edgar Wright's Cornetto trilogy to be parodies in a sense (especially Hot Fuzz) and they're just great movies in there own right.
I am looking forward to watching the Costner film and London has fallen. Good actors in the first one and I enjoyed the first has fallen movie.. On a side note, I cannot understand why bvs isn't number 1..honestly...
Who is mark Kermode to say what is the worst & best movies of the year so far & what makes HIM ( more than everyone else) qualified to dictate what is a good or bad movie? Sure people are big & ugly enough to decide for themselves what constutes a good or bad movie for themselves ( YES he IS entitled to an opinion just like everyone else, but That's all it is an OPINION). Surely it comes down to personal taste right?
The pain he show's when talking about Dirty Granpha is heartbreaking, somebody give that man a hug.
I felt the pain in his voice in his original review.
My brother a CGI artist and often talk us about the type of works he does on various movies. He was quite proud of working on Hail Cesear!
He didn't tell any of us he worked on Gods of Egypt even though his name was in the credit
Why don't Robert De Niro just retire?What a way to fall
He keeps this up and his shitty films will out weigh his good films
As a fellow actor (though not comparable to him of course), I can say that if you chose acting as a career, you love it and it's not a career, it's a passion.
He's got a hotel to put money into
Are you insane?! How did you enjoy this?! This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen!!!!
Prefer the worst ones than the best
😂
Then you are on the wrong RUclips channel.
As much as I despised Dirty Grandpa, I'm surprised by the lack of Grimsby. That film practically broke me because of how painful it was.
"I just smoked Crack" was what the scriptwriter said right before he started to write "Dirty Grandpa".
Anyone taking bets that Nine Lives will be at the top spot in 6 months time?
no chance, 9 Lives might be bad but it won't offend Mark the way Dirty Grandpa did, could be a number 2 contender though
rockyroo10
I think it will be bewilderingly bad as opposed to outright offensive like Dirty Grandpa - but that could edge it in an "I expected better from you" kind of way.
I wanted to feel like a bigger man, by loving the "best of", in a better way than, the "worst of". But I was rolling in tears with this episode. This is pure comedic gold.
"More wooden acting than World Police". Haha, you killed me there.
-...I made "Gods of Egypt". Yikes!
-I won't make that mistake.
Brilliant editing.
Dirty Grandpa is funny as heck. In my screening there were hows of laughter throughout.
Couldn't disagree with Mark more: Gods of Egypt is the greatest comedy I've ever seen.
And the director gets all pissy defending his precious film.
If you attack critics on social media and not through your movies, then you're not a good director. Look at Birdman, a great example of using a movie to have a go at reviewers. I, Robot was good, but that was a fluke for Gods of Egypt director.
The Waynes Brothers always make awful films.
Name One apart from Scary Movie
Yeah
White Chicks
Watch any of their movies in a neutral mood, sober and alone.That's the one way to make a proper judgement.
'Wayans' - Marlon = 'Requiem for a Dream'
I'm having a De Niro binge this weekend just to remind how amazing his films and characters once were. Dirty Grandpa will not be part of the schedule.
I remember when London Has Fallen came out and me and my friends literally said that they will cast one British actor to serve the tea and crumpets while the rest of London strangely is populated by Americans. By the looks of things here our thesis seems to be pretty accurate 😁
"Keep the good work Gerard" cue Gods of Egypt clip
That was fantastic xd.
Another bad thing about London Has Fallen. Every video of it on youtube has people in the comments section proclaiming; "Dis will actually be London very soon"
Alex Proyas started out really strong. The Crow and Dark City are two of my favorite films from the 1990's. Somewhere though...ugh.

Despite all its flaws, there's no way in hell BvS is top 10 bad.

Yeah, I'd put it in the top 20 worst films of the year to date.
BvS is one of the worst and most boring films I've ever seen.
Yeah, it deserves to be top 5 bad.
"Critiques are vultures."
"Well, vultures feed on dead things. And your movie is like roadkill."
:-D
Ok, that one was really funny.
Guess Kermode is holding back a film called Ghostbusters for Worst Film of Earth. Mucho respecto.
If you're talking about the newest one, that came out in July and this list only spans Jan-Jun of this year. Also, I don't think he found it too horrible, so it might not even make the list at the end of the year. Especially if we get more Gods of Egypt and London has Fallen types.
Interesting backdrop. Was this filmed in 5Live's server room?
It would be better in London's Fallen if the terrorists chose really daft land marks to attack - Stonehenge, The white cliffs of Dover, Hadrian's Wall, The Angel of the North etc etc.
I liked God's of Egypt.
+Kevin S Ha you just showed Your the idiot with a comment like that! what are you a two year old? Fool
Capital letter at the start of a sentence and a full stop at the end.
If you like all the films this critic hated, then maybe his reviews are not for you?
I cannot believe that the same man who directed something as dark and wonderful as The Crow was responsible for something as monumentally stupid as Gods Of Egypt-that makes me sad.
Would just like to remind Mr. Kermode that De Niro was in Jack and Jill, which is a far more offensive film than Bad Grandpa
That was Al Pacino! Which is just as depressing :P
Not as embarrassing as starring in the thing, I'm sure! :D
Worst Nr. 10 to Nr. 6 -> recap Nr.10 to Nr. 6 ->1 week later recap of Nr. 10 to Nr. 6 -> Nr. 5 to Nr. 1 -> recap of Nr. 10 to Nr. 1

Despite everything you said I flat out refuse to believe anything is worse than Gods of Egypt.
Before looking I hope Dirty Grandpa is number 1
A worse film than Dirty Grandpa came out in that period. It might be the worst thing ever committed to film. It might be the worst artistic venture ever offered. It might be the worst thing that we - the species who invented genocide and necrophilia - have ever done. It is Sacha Baron Cohen's Grimsby. And it is horrific. How it didn't make Mark's list I will never know.
Goodness me!!! The last time i came this early....She left me. ;))
Your mother? Aww.
isthatcalico Na..It was your mother...Your Dad was Soooo much better than her.
Completely forgot Dirty Grandpa got released this year. I really did just want to forget about that atrocity!
when mark gets out the clorox you know it must be bad
Mean Streets, The Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, Once Upon a Time in America, The Untouchables, Midnight Run, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat...
...Dirty Grandpa :(
Kermode roasting that director was awesome
Anyone else getting irritated by the fact the little panel with a green light behind Mark isn't at perfect 90 degrees?
I'd forgotten Dirty Grandpa existed. Now I wish I still had.
London has fallen sucked, but was really enjoyable nonetheless (contrary to Suicide Squad)...
Comedies can only be properly judged when watched: alone, sober and in a neutral mood. There's not a lot of movies that suddenly aren't that funny then.
I'm genuinely shocked that Grimsby isn't on this list.
Thank u for putting Dirty Grandpa at #1
I tried watching London Has Fallen. I shut it off after 40 minutes. It reminded me of all those bad mid ter action films from the 1990s you'd see on cable or the video store shelves.
Same. Its depressing how bad the action film Genre has become these days. Or maybe we were just lucky growing up in the 80s with things like Aliens, Predator, Conan, Robocop, Indiana Jones, Big Trouble in Chine etc.
I think I snoozed through London has fallen, Gods of Egypt, Seventh son etc. Just overblown CGI these days no characters
We still get the odd gem like Fury Road or Dredd.
I can't agree with the Green Inferno, there were at least 91 worst movies in 2016 than The Green Inferno.
Think we all knew Dirty Grandpa would top the list. Thank you soooo much for including London Has Fallen in the top 3. Hated that film with a passion!!!
Just wait until Nine Lives.
Fun fact Alex Proyas's last film was Knowing with Nicholas Cage.
Gods of Egypt was horrible, but it was exactly the kind of bonkers mess I was expecting and as a result I kind of enjoyed it. I'm not saying it doesn't deserve a spot on the list, but it's one of my 'so bad it's good' movies. London Has Fallen was just a nasty violent, jingoistic macho crapfest. Definitely worse than GoE.
Sounds like he hated Dirty Grandpa even more than Pain and Gain ! I didn't think that was possible.
Can anyone remember anything that Kevin Costner has done that raises above the mediocre?
Wow, Jason Mantzoukas is in Dirty Grandpa? What is it with the guy who makes fun of bad movies constantly starring in them?
Gods of Egypt was not quite bad enough to be good and was far too bad to be good but it sure was entertaining. I would watch it again
Gods of Egypt was stupid, but definitely not bad. It wasn't trying to be anything other than a reasonably fun, action fantasy. And it delivered as far as I'm concerned. I think Kermode has made his loathing for the film quite personal.
I think you should do them in this order: worst-1, best-1, worst-2, best-2. To end on a high note so to speak =)
Mark, in the same vein as you described God's of Egypt. Let me say with support from a lot of those you shoved aside.
If someone made a movie as terrible as Ghost busters, it is no wonder they wanted to run around screaming racist and sexist to anyone who had a different opinion. " I understand......I understand"
As soon as I saw #3 I knew the 'known landmarks' would be top of the list of complaints
This gives me hope that my film might be made one day if these got the green light!
I love your snarky attitude, Mark. Keep being funny.
XD
I know we are over half way through, but you should do a "worst films of the decade", out of all your "worst films of the year" lists
Still baffled that God's not Dead 2 didn't make the cut.
You can always bet there will be a Gerard Butler film in the top ten but he has excelled himself this year with two entries.
Does Mark actually think White House Down is better than Olympus Has Fallen? WHAT THE HELL?!!
As if Gods or Egypt cost $140,000,000. Made $31,000,000 at the box office. Is that the biggest loss since Ishtar?
Why, Robert De Niro?
....Why?
$$$
No, I'm pretty sure he's still being offered good roles. I think he actually consciously makes these choices.
I think for some reason De Niro has become obsessed with adding a comedic layer to his repertoire. He seems to genuinely believe in these horrendous comedy films, and comedy roles he accepts. Sad, as his earlier work is the stuff of genius.
So that he can continue to fund the Tribeca film festival and other projects, that's why.
For this movie, I pray to God De Niro wins the Razzie for Worst Actor. Give the movie Razzies for Worst Picture, Director, Screenplay and On-Screen Combo as well.
Mmmm, I'm off to see Gods of Egypt and Dirty Granpa!
The two films on the list I TRIED to watch were "Rock The Kasbah" and "Gods of Egypt". Lasted about a half-hour, each one. Dreadful.
Luckily I can choose not to watch these movie. I feel really sorry for Mark who has to.
You are SO wrong about Dirty Grandpa.
It's at least 5 billion times worse than that.
If you thought Dirty Grandpa was dirty... watch Brothers Grimsby.
Dirty Grandpa is my #1. The Brothers Grimsby is my #2.
Wooden acting line got me
I stand by Batman V Superman and will do for as long as it takes for people to realise that it's an extremely good adaption from the books.
'I felt like I needed to bathe in Clorox'
See, I just thought Dirty Grandpa was a generically bad bro comedy. There wasn't much worse in that film than there was in, for example, Hangover 2.
This leads to an interesting question...
Dirty Grandpa or Bride Wars?
have been WAITING for this ...... Mark.
Alex Proyas ain't gonna like this, awaiting an angry social media post.
i want to see your review of Nine Lives
Poor poor Gerald Butler...
Nine Lives can happen between now and December.
Ghostbusters not in Top 10?
What no God's Not Dead 2?
Before I watch this my predictions for the top three are London has fallen, gods of Egypt and dirty grandpa- hope I'm right
Okay I genuinely did not look before I just knew how much mark hated those top 2
I liked Criminal. :( While I don't quite hate the movie as much as he did, I do agree that Dirty Grandpa is the worst film of the year so far.
Gods of egypt was plain dumb fun. Will watch it again
Please. let #1 be 10 Cloverfield Ln.! My top three worst movies that I am seen are at #1 10 Cloverfield Lane. #2 Suicide Squad, and at #3 Independance Day: Resurgence.
I sorta got the feeling that you may not have enjoyed Dirty Grandpa..?
I guess one persons bad movies are some other peoples good ones.
Gods of Egypt was mediocre, but had its cheesily enjoyable parts - the film itself wasn't offensively bad (even if the casting was). Everything else on this list is the kind of stuff I stay away from like kryptonite anyway, so I wouldn't know whether they all merit worst-of-the-year status.
Theres a populer story simulation online game about this exact consept minus the Efron
been looking forward to this
seriously BvS at number 10?? :O
It might be the most disappointingly terrible film this year but that doesn't make it the worst. 10th place seems fair. Gods of Egypt was even stupider, Zoolander 2 (which somehow missed this list) was even more scrappy and overlong and I haven't seen Bad Grandpa but I'd probably rather make myself watch all of BvS again than sit through even the trailer.
I know right??? Should have been number 1
+The DC Collector As the worst? Maybe.
Well, this had me laughing throughout.
- Just thought I'd share that... ...What?
So, just to be clear.
These are the worst films in the UK for just half of one year.
Just to get some perspective here.
How many American made films are brought into the UK during an average year?
It seems to me that most of these clinkers are American.
Any Really bad UK made films out there?
Just for comparison and contrast, That is?
Or has America done it again, and just managed to sop up all of the very worst in the entire world today?
Hahaha! You and Alex Proyas are so catty. Roawr.
"50 shades of black" or "the wrong way to do parody"
Don't make fun of something that's already unintentionally hilarious
Joshua Price
That's _one_ thing.
But it's just: "let's do the other movies but in a terrible version."
Is really what kills it.
I consider Edgar Wright's Cornetto trilogy to be parodies in a sense (especially Hot Fuzz) and they're just great movies in there own right.
I am looking forward to watching the Costner film and London has fallen. Good actors in the first one and I enjoyed the first has fallen movie.. On a side note, I cannot understand why bvs isn't number 1..honestly...
Who is mark Kermode to say what is the worst & best movies of the year so far & what makes HIM ( more than everyone else) qualified to dictate what is a good or bad movie? Sure people are big & ugly enough to decide for themselves what constutes a good or bad movie for themselves ( YES he IS entitled to an opinion just like everyone else, but That's all it is an OPINION). Surely it comes down to personal taste right?
Mark, we need to talk. The "Bathing in Clorox" thing has gone too far!
