You could set up an entire comparison on how Nemesis decided to take every scene from Wrath of Kahn then make it retarded. Wrath of Kahn: Final battle requires clever Das Boot tactics, reliance on Kahn's obsession catching the white whale Kirk. Nemesis: Final battle has people literally jumping to the other ship while a 60 year old man single handedly goes Rambo on an entire crew of hardened warrioers.

I forgot the best part about Surrogates: the fact that Bruce Willis' young, idealized robot body is just regular old Bruce Willis with a horrendous makeup job and frightening toupee. I'd say it even tops Al Pacino's wig in 88 Minutes.

Terminator Salvation Think of all the cool things a new Terminator movie could have been about. The creators did this, and the best thing they could come up with was "A 20th century death row inmate kisses a cancer patient and wakes up as a terminator with a heart." Sooo many terrible wtf script moments, the least of which is robot snakes jumping out of a river to attack a helicopter. You'll be delighted to know that this movie had the same writer as Catwoman! I was so baffled by this movie I wrote a review summing up the whole train wreck: http://www.caltrops....Post&pid=137646 (that forum title is a joke, by the way) Feel free to crib any of the points.

Most botched/doomed screenplay This differse from plain old worst screenplay in that it recognizes screenplays with such a lame, misfired, or flawed premise that they never should have even gotten to the rough draft phase. A lot of bad movies start out with potentially good ideas that didn't work. This category celebrates the scripts that never had a praryer of being anything but terrible. I'm talking something like Terminator Salvation where they made a list of what people wanted the next Terminator movie to be about, and the one they picked was "A 20th century death row inmate kisses a cancer patient then wakes up as a Terminator with a hear." Or Pluto Nash deciding to make a world where owning a club is the most important thing in the world, and the greatest conflict is two rival club owners fighting it out. It was like they wanted to do Casablanca in space, but they didn't realize that Bogart caring about running a club was supposed to be the low point of his character arc.

Has anyone ever noticed this movie was an exact copy of Demolition Man? - A post apocalyptic world where Silvester Stallone is a loose cannon cop constantly scolded for going overboard. - The villain, who has close ties to Stallone's character, is released by a high ranking politician to serve his own ends. - Villain ends up double crossing and killing said politician so he can be in charge. - Stallone teamed up with green but eager to learn hot partner. - Stallone is at odds with a non-evil criminal but ends up teamining up with him to fight main villain. - Rob Schneider is in both! Here's the thing though, at least Demolition Man had a hook: "A psychopath and loose cannon cop wake up to an ultra peaceful PC world." They ran with that theme and had fun with it. For Judge Dredd, it's like they got the license and said to themselves, "You know what would make a great adaptation? Copying Demolition Man, but taking out the basis for all the humor and anything interesting." Judge Dredd could have been interesting if the movie used the comic's hook of an ultra fascist cop, but instead they only had Stallone be Dredd in two scenes before he wasn't a cop anymore and just became some guy in a dirty shirt. At that point it was just a generic action movie with no ties to Dredd and no real point. At least the new remake looks like they're keeping him Dredd the whole time.
