I wanted to like this movie based on the semi-interesting trailor. However, this one tops the list in 2008. Absolutely nothing happened. Not scary. Not suspenseful. Bad acting all around. Mark Wahlberg should be ashamed to have this one on his resume.

I like Adam Sandler, but this is hands down his worst movie... Ever. Thoroughly disappointing.

Will Ferrell is the best thing to come out of SNL since 2000. This however, is his worst movie to date. Even the gag reel stinks. A bad year for Willy... (see "Step Brothers" as well)

How many times can McConaughy play the same character in different movies? Bad acting and not even remotely funny.

Loved Don Adams in the original series decades ago. This movie finds Steve Carell trying too hard to be clever and funny. Kind of like Steve Martin in those new Pink Panther movies... just not funny.

Lots of commercials and press about Jumper. Too bad it sucked. Decent special effects, but the lame story and forgettable acting just ruined it.

Austin Powers where are you?

If you've seen the trailor to this one, you've seen the best parts of the movie. I dig Will Ferrell, but this is one of his worst. Right behind "Semi-Pro".

Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.71
With legends like DeNiro and Pacino my expectations were high. Ultimately, the actors looked bored and their dialogue tired... each grabbing their 7 figure paycheck and moving on (I'm sure).

An utter waste of time.

Another utter waste of time.

Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.49
The 1st installment is still the best in the Mummy series. This 3rd one is at the bottom... even below "The Scorpion King".
Saw V (Unrated Director's Cut)Saw V (Unrated Director's Cut)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.92
I have the feeling that the "Saw" series wants to rival the "Friday the 13th" franchise as far as the numbers go. Be prepared for many more low grade "Saw" B-movies... Ugh.

Personal opinion... I just don't get John C. Reilly. I don't think he's all too funny (after all, the words he says are written for him in the movies). And I'll forever think he's riding on the coattails of Will Ferrell. Thumbs down.

Nothing worth saying here. Utter waste.

Headache fast editing. No story. Bad acting. CGI effects galore... but is this what you go to the movies for?
