Come guys let's all agree that Ghost Rider 2 was terrible. It had no aspirations, which made it worse.
What is the worst film of 2012?

That's the reason I chose Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter as worst movie of 2012. I hadn't read the book before seeing the movie, so I had very low expectations, and it failed to even live up to those. :unsure
rotten tomatoes = saves you alot of money.
don't really see bad movies anymore due to rt. There is a few I refuse to care about the reviews but for the most part they are pretty right on the money.
according to that the title for worst film of 2012 goes to a thousand words starring eddie murphey with a whopping 0% out of 100.
oh yeah anything channing tatum or amanda seyfried are in. they suck.

I haven't been to the theater yet this year (skyfall will get me in) I have only seen a dozen films in theaters since LOTR came out. As for 2012 made films the worst I saw was the Avengers, I know it made big bucks (so did SW I, II and III) but I would never be able to watch it again unless I was using the FF button frequently.(much like the SW prequals)

Hunger Games comes a very close second to Ghost Rider 2.

This thread goes to show how subjective this topic is. I REALLY enjoyed Prometheus, Dark Knight AND Taken 2. Let's just agree not to pick out films for each other. :lol
Why? I thought that the CGI really added to the overall artistic look that Tim Burton usually puts in his movies. i actually thoroughly enjoyed that movie (and book).
the worst movie this year was whatever twilight came out... didn't even see it, but i really don't need to. i saw the first five minutes of the first movie and then turned it off.....
Dark Shadows wasn't very good either... it was super sexual and not very funny.
I don't even want to talk about the hunger games... i don't really even know what the heck i watched it for.

Ghost Rider gets my vote, followed by Ted and then Battleship

I actually liked Ted. It was hilarious and was just a live version of Family Guy for me, which is fine.

I never bash a movie I haven't seen, I would stay away if I didn't like the premise...
I felt the humor in Ted was too forced and thats what turned me off..I like Family Guy, but this movie just didn't do it for me..I think I actually laughed twice

This is true for me as well. I don't know how I could possibly comment on a movie I haven't seen and, after having seen the trailers, I haven't seen most of the movies mentioned in this thread.
For me, Ted was more of a disappointment than The Dark Knight Rises. As soon as I saw "The Bat" in the trailers, I had a bad feeling TDKR wasn't going to be as solid as the previous movies in Nolan's trilogy, and I left the theater thinking exactly that. I like Family Guy and I "get" Seth MacFarlane's humor so, given Ted's R rating, I thought MacFarlane would really push the humor to the limit. Instead, it was like "Family Guy light" with curse words--in many ways the humor was more restrained than the average Family Guy episode, and I thought MacFarlane played it too safe. But I have to give credit to Mark Wahlberg; his performance really helps to sell the premise.

Really? I enjoyed that movie. It wasn't as good as the first one but I do think it was better than the second.
I would have to say Prometheus. I saw it while deployed to the middle east and even though the ticket was like $3, it still wasn't worth it. Shoot, I don't think it would have been worth it had I seen it for free.
I guess I should keep the stride going. Bad movies in general have to do something a little extra for me in order for it to labeled the worst. Green Lantern? Nothing but meh. Those comedy spoofs? Predictable. The Twilight movies? Enjoyable for completely different reasons.
Prometheus? Not only does the story have characters who lack any form of common sense, but it also suffers from some of the worst story structuring I've ever seen in a film. Couple that with story re-writes, bad editing and loss of intent (casting a young actor for an older role the entire time), you get a movie that feels like it was blended together rather than cohesively put together. Does this film want to be a part of the Alien series? Does it want to be it's own thing? Does it want to be philosophical? Kind of, because it wants to be all three. The problem is the film never treats each one with equal importance. The attempts to make it feel like an alien film with the zombie and snake attacks fail because none of the characters seems to give a crap about it after the events are done. The attempts at making it a stand alone film fails because they not only try to link directly into the alien movies, but they also don't answer any of the film's own questions so that they might be answered in some sequel. Making a movie sequel dependent does not make it a good stand alone movie. And the philosophical element fails because the one character who drives it is in a contradicting position of being the head scientist who "chooses to believe" in things without any evidence.
Now this is all typical bad movie stuff and normally I can think of some things that can put this movie above others, but what makes Prometheus the 'special' kind of bad movie that I would title it as the worst movie of the year is how it treats the other movies of the ALIEN franchise. Specifically, the dead alien in the chair is not an alien, but a suit, which is worn by a tall, bald hairless human. Which also means that the Xenomorphs are not aliens, but were created by humans..... Us, basically. The dark unknown of space just got a lot less interesting and a lot more contrived.
Prometheus. It's not only bad, but it's harmful to other excellent movies.
