+jack harrington Mark actually didn't think Fifty Shades of Grey was that bad. Obviously he thought it was bad, but not as bad as it could've been. Entourage will be number one, 100%.
Liam Neeson seems to be the modern day Charles Bronson. Although, at least the Death Wish sequels didn't bore me to tears no matter how over the top they became.
My guesses for the next video: 1: Entourage 2. Pixels 3: Scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse 4: Terminator Geniysiys(or whatever it's called, what kinda word is that anyway?) 5: The Visit.
That bit about Meg Ryan not being able to play a helicopter pilot and Keanu Reeves not being convincing as an architect is stupid and extremely condescending.
The worst film I saw in a cinema this year was Macbeth. Granted I didn't see any other bad movies this year, since it's a damn fine year for film. Christ Macbeth was so boring, and impossible to understand, not just because of Shakespheres cryptic and ancient language but also because of poor sound editing. I'm obviously not a big fan of Shakesphere, I've given his ancient plays many attempts and have never got into them, but I thought I could enjoy Macbeth because of the amazing cinematography and Michael Fassbender, but even his wash board abs couldn't stop me from walking out halfway through, past 3 people sleeping very peacefully (no joke). I know I'll probably be labeled an uncivilised brute or a stupid child who just doesn't understand how brilliant a 300 year old play is, but I feel a desperate need to voice how much I hated Macbeth.
To be fair I've never seen the play. But I've given Shakesphere enough tries in my life, maybe someday I'll apply myself to it and see then if I can appreciate it, but for now I'm far too impatient for Shakesphere
Why can Russell Crow play a Nobel prize winning mathematician to rave reviews but be miscast playing a Pulitzer winning author? Seems like an unfair criticism.
Its extremely rare I disagree with Mark on BBC One , or BBC News, Radio 5 (or is it 4 I'm always switching). I watch Morcadi praying it would be good. It had so much promise then it started......Cant wait for Part 2.....Fantastic 4 will be one, its that bad, from changing a major character (yes making iconic superheroe black there I said it the fuss was deserved) it didn't work in DareDevil (yes the kingpin), to changing how they became the 4, the story was so poor they had to explain what was going on in parts. The Chris Evans version was actually better, get Disney or Netflix to sort it out..... PS FF 4 better be in the last 5....
Awww - I liked Mordecai, and we usually agree on movies. Perhaps it is because I am not so offended by the accent as I'm a Yank, I also think Danny Kay was funny in Mary Poppins too. But I can see how that could be offensive to a Brit. ;)
Better add Star Wars: The Farce Awakens to that list. William Friedkin probably won't talk to you after giving the film such a glowing review. You know his feelings on the constant slew of superhero films killing the art form of cinema in Hollywood.
Right I knioow dr k probably doesn't read these but why is meg ryan a helicopter pilot a valid criticism. is it because she's pretty, shes nice, she was ally what exactly? Women of all shapes and sizs and looks have been piloting helicopters since the 1960s
I never knew Age of Kill existed I hope I never watch it. Solace is not the worst film I've seen but I won't bother watching it again, it reminded me of Suspect Zero
I actually want to see Solace. Same with Fathers & Daughters. And did Mark just diss Meg Ryan in Courage Under Fire? Shameful. Great movie and Ryan is great in it. I also liked The Lake House a lot which I also think he dissed here as well.
He was criticising her being cast in that role, not so much her performance. He's about the millionth person to do so. People just have trouble seeing her in that role.
There is no way Entourage should be placed at number 1. Someone who has never seen the TV show should never watch and review the film. It is stupid. It is like a reviewer watching The Force Awakens and never seeing any of the other Star Wars. You can't review it properly, you wouldn't be able to see the parallels to the original and therefore can't review it fairly.
+Karl Karlos What was the other one besides Finding Forester? Also, Scotland is great. I just didn't believe him. Kermode saying Crowe can't be a writer in a movie is a bit silly. We have Fassbinder playing human beings, right? The man with no emotive or expressive ability whatsoever, playing human beings.
Karl Karlos You did NOT interview "the majority" to make such a claim. I speak for many times more people than you do, and we have a consensus that Connery simply cannot realistically depict intelligent characters.
I'm betting ENTOURAGE will be number 1.
+ELCNUmorFnaMehT LOL excellent
no doubt LoL
That or The Human Centipede 3.
+Jonathan Melia I'm putting my money on Pixels
+jack harrington Mark actually didn't think Fifty Shades of Grey was that bad. Obviously he thought it was bad, but not as bad as it could've been. Entourage will be number one, 100%.
Pixels deserves a roasting, but then we'd be forced to remember Adam Sandler exists.
If you saw the trailer for Mortdecai and STILL went to see it at the cinema and hated it, you've only got yourself to blame.
Mark has walked off the set of 'A Matter Of Life and Death' with that jacket!
I love him but Kermode's videos need to be longer.
The review made me crack up for the 1st time this Christmas- it won't get any better -than you DrK.
wonder where Fant4stic will be placed in the next part...
+The Whiteheart Hopefully not. There were waaaayyyy worse films released this year.
***** yep I agree with that
+evilempireUK No it was bad from the start and the director is a dick.
I am so happy I did not see any of these films, I cannot wait for part 2!!!!!
Dr. Kermode's annual list of abominations. What a Christmas treat.
Liam Neeson seems to be the modern day Charles Bronson. Although, at least the Death Wish sequels didn't bore me to tears no matter how over the top they became.
My guesses for the next video:
1: Entourage
2. Pixels
3: Scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse
4: Terminator Geniysiys(or whatever it's called, what kinda word is that anyway?)
5: The Visit.
Mortdecai at number 7? Blimey, was this year really that bad?
That bit about Meg Ryan not being able to play a helicopter pilot and Keanu Reeves not being convincing as an architect is stupid and extremely condescending.
I watched Taken 3 with the sound off for 20 minutes and really enjoyed it 🤣🤣🤣
Knock knock is a solid film. Thrilling, provocative and so much fun to watch!
Thankfully didn't see any of these
+ekmad Mortdecai is absolutely dreadful. Hot Pursuit and The Ridiculous 6 are worse though, which says a lot.
The worst film I saw in a cinema this year was Macbeth. Granted I didn't see any other bad movies this year, since it's a damn fine year for film.

+James Bastion You can love the play and absolutely hate the film. Don't think it did the source material any justice at all.
To be fair I've never seen the play. But I've given Shakesphere enough tries in my life, maybe someday I'll apply myself to it and see then if I can appreciate it, but for now I'm far too impatient for Shakesphere
I guarantee that he'll have forgotten about The Bad Education Movie.
Worst Top 5
1. Get Hard
2. Survivor
3. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
4. Pay The Ghost
5. Ted 2
6. The Gunman
7. The Lazarus Effect
8. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
9. Home
10. The Wedding Ringer
What could be worse than Mortdecai? Oh boy..
For me, I know if I did a list it would include Muck, #Horror and Human Centipede 3.
I suffer for my love of horror, I truly do.
Why can Russell Crow play a Nobel prize winning mathematician to rave reviews but be miscast playing a Pulitzer winning author? Seems like an unfair criticism.
If terminator genisys isn't in the list I'll be dissapointed.

Hadn't even heard of some of these films.
Kermode in an extra sarcastic and funny mode. Here's a clip......
Awww - I liked Mordecai, and we usually agree on movies. Perhaps it is because I am not so offended by the accent as I'm a Yank, I also think Danny Kay was funny in Mary Poppins too. But I can see how that could be offensive to a Brit. ;)
Part 2?
Merry Christmas!
Hello to Jason
Mark, I want your coat.
It's from rocky 4?
+sk0g CSGO Productions I was thinking he nicked it from Bane.
+George Monk Damn, Marks got 30 years on me but he dresses better than I ever could.
+George Monk Looks like something John Motson would wear.
Better add Star Wars: The Farce Awakens to that list. William Friedkin probably won't talk to you after giving the film such a glowing review. You know his feelings on the constant slew of superhero films killing the art form of cinema in Hollywood.
A lot of big name actors featured. Just shows nobody's above making a right clunker!
+c knott True!
Right I knioow dr k probably doesn't read these but why is meg ryan a helicopter pilot a valid criticism. is it because she's pretty, shes nice, she was ally what exactly? Women of all shapes and sizs and looks have been piloting helicopters since the 1960s
what is up with that Bane coat?
why is he wearing Elder Maxson's coat?
The wait is over!
I never knew Age of Kill existed I hope I never watch it. Solace is not the worst film I've seen but I won't bother watching it again, it reminded me of Suspect Zero
I managed to avoid seeing all of these. I wonder how many of your top 5 I'll have seen.
I actually want to see Solace. Same with Fathers & Daughters. And did Mark just diss Meg Ryan in Courage Under Fire? Shameful. Great movie and Ryan is great in it. I also liked The Lake House a lot which I also think he dissed here as well.
He was criticising her being cast in that role, not so much her performance. He's about the millionth person to do so. People just have trouble seeing her in that role.
I hope Jurassic World is next on the list.
I kinda liked Mortdecai.
Only seen Taken 3 off this list, 3 was better than 2.
There is no way Entourage should be placed at number 1. Someone who has never seen the TV show should never watch and review the film. It is stupid. It is like a reviewer watching The Force Awakens and never seeing any of the other Star Wars. You can't review it properly, you wouldn't be able to see the parallels to the original and therefore can't review it fairly.
Then maybe it would been better if they didn't make the movie at all.
Nice jacket. Christmas present?
knock knock has to be on the list, one of the worst films I've seen in a while.
Kermode actually liked it, which is baffling.
If Sean Connery can play an author, why not Russell?
Karl Karlos Casting Sean Connery as a writer is absurd. You can barely believe he can write a check let alone a book.
+Karl Karlos What was the other one besides Finding Forester? Also, Scotland is great. I just didn't believe him. Kermode saying Crowe can't be a writer in a movie is a bit silly. We have Fassbinder playing human beings, right? The man with no emotive or expressive ability whatsoever, playing human beings.
Karl Karlos Yeah. Didn't believe those either. Cringe after cringe after cringe. You never believe he is having the thoughts that the words express.
Karl Karlos You did NOT interview "the majority" to make such a claim. I speak for many times more people than you do, and we have a consensus that Connery simply cannot realistically depict intelligent characters.
+Karl Karlos Proof is a noun. Prove is the verb.
TAKE. THE. SHOT.
No Michael bay this Christmas ?
How is entourage not going to be number 1 people?
This is from 2014, not 2015.
I liked Mortdecai... I'm sorry. Maybe because I have no respect for Johnny Depp anymore.
i liked mordecai, it took chances :)
Mortdecai is terrible but I still laughed my bum off at how terrible it was!
When did Russell Crowd last make a good movie ?
+ChubbyChecker182 I agree that he looked a bit fat in this clip. But I wouldn't call him a crowd.
+ChubbyChecker182 Noah was good.
Taken 3 has the worst editing I've ever scene.
This is the same person who said Spectre was better than Skyfall -_- All films are subjective. What one person hates another might love.
+LibertyAtLast
When did he Kermode say Spectre was better than Skyfall? I must have missed it.
+Phonophilia He said it in the review he did of the film
+LibertyAtLast thanks captain obvious for that mind-blowing insight
+LibertyAtLast Why are you even pointing that out? This is HIS list of the worst movies of this year. Of course it's subjective.
you could've picked worse movies
Solace is a very forgettable movie!
+satoncho... no disrespect sir, but wearing that cap as a fashion accessory is plain wrong...
A waste of time.
He hates films that are not great but entertaining at times and loves films that are bloody boring
