Remembering Leslie Nielsen Through 'Naked Gun,' 'Forbidden Planet' And Other Great Films

As if getting back into the groove of the work week after a fantastically long holiday weekend wasn't grueling enough, now comes word that actor Leslie Nielsen has died in a hospital near his Florida home due to complications from pneumonia. He was 84.
Though Nielsen is gone, his presence hangs heavy over the heads of [...]

Jonah HexThanksgiving is a time to take a break from the bustle of everyday life, take stock of the many blessings bestowed upon us during the year and give thanks for them. It's also a time for turkey.


Keeping in line with both of those sentiments, online ticket retailer Fandango has revealed its list of this year's 10 biggest cinematic turkeys, a.k.a. the films moviegoers are least thankful for, so far. The list is based on reviews written by Fandango users who doled out their hard-earned cash to see these films and were more than just a little nonplussed by what they got in exchange.


Hit the jump to see the list (and what users had to say about each film). And remember: If you haven't paid money to watch these flicks, that's just one more reason to be thankful.


10. "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time"

"Story was lame and confusing in places. Special effects good. I was entertained for the most part, but overall was disappointing." -- Santa_Fe_Ranger


9. "Jonah Hex"

"In a 73min film, they manage to fill it with a majority of explosions, dragon balls, bad acting, groans from josh brolin, and cartoon-looking effects. The plot is paper-thin to the point of no return and Megan Fox proves that she has nothing to offer but her body and her face." -- moviegod15


8. "Furry Vengeance"

"I wasn't expecting much and was still disappointed, even for a kids flick. My 5yo asked when it was going to be over only half way through, that's pretty bad." -- ValGirl


7. "Skyline"

"The plot was clearly recycled.....with machine zombies, and a hazy cross between the Toy Story and Saw series, with a splash of Independence Day to spice it up, you've got an instant bust. Spend your $10.00 on something more entertaining and rewarding, like rotating your tires." -- jobliny


6. "The Back-Up Plan"

"No chemistry whatsoever between J-Lo and the leading man. Really didn't like the negative talk about kids. Didn't find it funny in the least and walked out in the middle of it." -- mtinva


5. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"

"Over all the movie was lack-luster. Save your ten bucks and wait for netflix." -- Billyboru


4. "Marmaduke"

"Pretty lame-o. George Lopez character was the only one that carried any interest. Bathroom humor is a pathetic way to get your laughs. Even my children thought this was lame." -- cwieb28


3. "The Last Airbender"

"I really, really wanted to like this movie - I was super excited to see it. Ten minutes in, I wanted to leave. The acting was terrible, terrible, terrible! The special effects and plot were fairly good, but the acting pretty much ruined any chance this movie had of being good. Characters were not believable at all. Too bad, this movie had real potential." -- mtnbikechick


2 "Casts & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore"

"This movie is painfully boring.... even for the kids. It was like torture to sit through.

If you go to see this movie, it proves you really love your kids and you are desperate for a nap and just need an uncomfortable movie seat to doze off in." -- hollymattson


1. "Vampires Suck"

"This movie sucked in every aspect." -- bumbullbee
