Dunno if the black and white Dragon Ball Z film with Henry Caville and Morpheus got to a billion, but if it did, it didn't deserve it


I humbly disagree. The action in Man of Steel was sick to see on the big screen.


Man of Steel didn't come close to making a billion.  Also it wasn't that bad even though the plot could have been better its still better then Superman Returns.  On top of that it features one of Hans Zimmers best scores.

I must say I hate this kind of threads. You know: Which game you think was overrated? Which game didn't deserve this or deserve that.

Becuase it's always just a wall of people saying "I didn't like this, therefore others shouldn't have liked it, too."

And that's just sad.



Transformers 4 and maybe a Pirates of Caribbean movie. The others deserve it in my opinion

Transformers, Avengers, and Fast and Furious,

Harry Potter 7.2, it proved people would pay for a splitted in half movie, and since than making book to movie ending in 2 parts became the norm. If you read mockingjay you know the book is small and really there was not much to make 2 movies, this is why the first part takes so much time showing shit like the prim cat shit, and is so slow paced as fuck. A better paced movie and at most 30 min more you could make an awesome adaptation.

Than comes the hobbits movies, the first was great, the second was OK, and the third was just pointless, they milked it so much, 2 movies would have done just great...



Avatar, the Transformers crap. Fast 7 I can understand because the fanbase needed a movie to mourn Paul Walker with so it was an event movie.

Titanic is a good film, actually. To be honest I've never seen anything like Titanic in my life other than maybe the first Jurassic Park. People went to see that movie over and over and over again.



Dark Knight Rises.

Really just a huge step down in quality from The Dark Knight, which I didn't enjoy quite as much as others to begin with. Plotholes galore, and just generally isn't as epic as it thinks it is.

I'm sure other movies on the list are worse, but I haven't seen all of them.



I agree with the sentiment that anything makes what the market says it deserves to make, but one did stick out to me.

19. Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace - 1.027 billion

If you removed Star Wars from the title I wouldn't be surprised to have seen it earn 1/10th of what it did. It was the biggest disappointment in film history (feel free to name a bigger one) and yet I remember people in absolute denial seeing it half a dozen times because the original trilogy was so amazing. This period in film really began the era of franchise and nostalgia giving us a bunch of poor sequels/remakes/reboots.

I really wonder how differently so many things would have been had this garbage of a film flopped because people saw it for what it was rather than what they desperately wanted it to be. I think enough time has passed that now even those die hards that saw it over and over admit it was terrible.

I would say Fast and the Furious. I do not understand how it has turned into what it has become. Besides todays society enjoys bright lights andbshit.

 

 

Any you dislike?

Fast and Furious does well because worldwide box office is important and F&F has a multi ethnic cast rather than all white like the Avengers.

On comic book sites they call it the unofficial X-Force series.
