The Meanest Movie Reviews on the Internet

Movie reviews have been around nearly as long as movies have been made. Over the years, they’ve become their own art form. The most well-respected critics develop a level of trust with their audience — they have the power to influence how well a movie is received by the public. Some movies, however, are just plain awful no matter how you shake it.

The Internet has completely changed the face of film criticism. Pre-World Wide Web, a bad review could be buried in an old newspaper or magazine, never to be read again. Now, it’s permanently accessible with only a Google search and a few clicks. Here are 15 movies that received extremely scathing (and extremely hilarious) reviews from critics.
