“Gone Girl,” “Boyhood” and “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” are just some of this year’s films that will permeate greatness through the decades.

While those films were brilliant, this was also a disappointing year. The franchising of every movie with a sequel potential has tarnished the landscape of Hollywood. For the release every great movie, seven terrible films accompanied it.

Here is my top 10 worst films of 2014.

10. The Amazing Spider-Man 2:

The original “The Amazing Spider-Man,” was not a classic by any means. It had problems, but overcame many of them and was a decent film. “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” makes “The Amazing Spider-Man” look like “The Dark Knight” in quality. Too many villains, too many storylines and awful special effects are just some of its pitfalls. The movie goes to “Batman and Robin” levels of terrible, and reaches an all-time low for the modern superhero genre.

9. The Other Woman:

Films in the chick flick genre rarely reach beyond cliché fun. Every once in a while, a picture from the genre comes along and reminds you just how bad it is. “The Other Woman” is this year’s installment. The movie is downright terrifying in its level of humor revenge and makes you feel a little bad for the villain. The acting is horrendous, its only saving grace being Leslie Mann. Her talent and charisma help make “The Other Woman” halfway decent.

8. Transformers: Age of Extinction:

Calling any selection in this series bad is redundant. “Transformers: Age of Extinction” being far from the worst in the series. Yet, this movie commits the sin of being almost three hours long. No Transformers movie should ever be longer than “Pulp Fiction.” Add the normal Michael Bay qualities and a dash of terribly written female characters, and you have one of the worst films of the year.

7. Transcendence:

Johnny Depp can do no wrong in the public’s eye. If you really think about it, the man has done a lot of bad movies. He is a compelling actor at his best. At his worst, he is a cardboard cutout of himself. “Transcendence,” is up there with his worst. Disappointingly directed by Wally Pfister, Christopher Nolan’s go to cinematographer, it suffers from poor logic, storytelling and dialogue.

6. I, Frankenstein:

Mary Shelley must be rolling in her grave. “I, Frankenstein,” comes in a long line of terrible supernatural movies and awful films Aaron Eckhart has done since “The Dark Knight.” Ridiculous, ludicrous and harebrained are the only ways to describe this movie. The deliciously cheesy acting of Bill Nighy provides the film’s only fun.

5. Let’s Be Cops:

“Let’s Be Cops,” wasted its talented cast just as well as “The Godfather,” used it. Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. are at the top of the comedy game. Both are great at their own shticks and have made successful careers. This movie places both of them in miscast roles and suffers for it. It is an uneven film and never gets a handle on what type of comedy it wants to be.

4. Ride Along:

There was a time when Ice Cube was one of the few musicians who could act. His debut in “Boyz n the Hood,” showed it. Since then, a string of terrible kids’ movies, comedies and action films have proven he cannot. “Ride Along,” is just another on the list. Kevin Hart does everything he can to make this watchable, but even he comes off as annoying.

3. A Haunted House 2:

Whenever Marlon Wayans makes a movie the existence of God is questioned. It was especially bad when he was allowed to create a sequel to the atrocious “A Haunted House.” This film triples the atrocities of the original one. Unfunny jokes from its originator are done at least a dozen more times and somehow worse. “A Haunted House” had a little understanding of the genre parodied, “A Haunted House 2” has none.

2. Left Behind:

Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage is a phrase we do not hear a lot today. Since falling into financial trouble, the actor took roles below his caliber. Films beyond ridiculousness and so bad they end up being entertaining. “Left Behind,” is not one of those movies. One part a boring mess, one part religious propaganda; this movie hits on so many levels of awful.

1. Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas:

Not only does this grace the list as the worst movie of 2014, but also the worst movie I have ever seen. It’s now listed as the worst film ever by Internet Movie Database. Calling it a movie insults the medium of film as a whole. Calling it a religious propaganda movie slanders religious propaganda films. The film hops over the border of racism and prejudice and is 80 minutes of a crazed man rambling about false history.
