The 6 Most Disappointing Movies Of 2014

Here is the biggest problem with movies nowadays: trailers and hype. With the internet always aflutter about what the next big film will be, and studios ramming ads down your throat constantly both consciously and subconsciously, it is hard not to get swept up in the excitement about a particular movie, especially when it seems that mainstream media is really pushing the agenda of that movie on the masses.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

I will start this entry off by saying that how the filmmakers handled the Gwen Stacy incident here was brilliant, and that is such a shame, because most of the other stuff around that moment was just horrible.

The major problem with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was that it wanted to be everything to everyone. It tried to be a love story, a snarky comedy, an action film, a family drama and a summer blockbuster, and in the end, it just felt like a contrived mess that threw far too much at us (which is a lesson they should have fucking learned from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3).

Also, can we all agree that Jamie Foxx was just awful as Electro? You watch him as the meekish nerd and CAN NOT believe this is the same guy who played Ray Charles so convincingly. It’s by far his worst performance, at least in this writer’s opinion.

As far as movies from 2014 go in terms of being over-hyped and massively underwhelming, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 kind of tops the list (even though the list is in no particular order).
