is there a worse abomination of a movie then "cowboys vs aliens"?

Yeah, it's called Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

The Last Airbender

“Cowboys vs Aliens” is schlock. I watched it drunk once, but I somewhat enjoyed myself mocking the movie. It’s a silly concept which makes it kind of fun. If it classifies as this, it’s not the worst movie. True irredeemable disasters have none of this going on and spit in the face of the audience. As mentioned BvS and TLA are far, far worse.

The hobbit parts 1, 2, and 3. Tolkien is rolling in his grave

This doesn’t qualify. I’ve seen the single cut, and it is fricking amazing. It’s 3 and a half hours with all 3 movies edited to be the same length as “Return of the King”. The studio forced Jackson to make this into 3 movies, and since Del Toro dropped out, it would have been a garbage fire if almost anyone else had done it.

He had less than a year to write 3 movies and get all the logistics set up to shoot within the year. For “The Lord of the Rings” he had 4 years, which barely got done in time. So the scenes that Jackson didn’t give a frick about he wrote in one draft and then focused his time on the scenes he knew he couldn’t frick up. He doesn’t frick up on any of them. An Unexpected Party, the troll scene, Riddles in Dark, the spiders of Mirkwood, Bilbo meeting Smaug, Smaug’s death, and Thorin’s death were all perfectly rendered onto the screen.

So with good and quite frankly easy editing, you’ve got a damn fine film which can hold up to the standards set by The Lord of the Rings. Yeah the set design and costumes are no where near as good as the first, but I’m incredibly sympathetic to Jackson here given the task and the studios being incompetent as frick. There’s really nothing save for the podrace or the Duel of the Fates that you can salvage from the first two prequels, and those two scenes I mentioned are rendered pointless by the end.

The Hobbit was overly long drivel, but it gave the fans something wonderful to work with and give us a definitive Hobbit film, and it flows pretty gloriously. The only part that took me out of the fan edited movie is when Smaug busts out of the Lonely Mountain covered in gold, but other than that the fan edit is flawless, and I think this is intentional by Jackson. So I have to say “Thank you Peter Jackson for the Hobbit.”

I can't think of a more disappointing movie from this decade.

Then I suggest you read more or watch more television. I really haven’t thought of this movie in quite a few years.

If you want something that should have been gloriously schlock, “Sucker Punch” was far more disappointing. Really, it had just about everything I look for in a film: smoking hot chicks in skimpy skirts, samurai, insane asylums, cyborgs, Nazi zombies, dragons, steampunk, cyberpunk, lobotomies, Oscar Issac... and I still didn’t like it. You fricked up hardcore if I find myself not liking that movie.

I had a low opinion of Zack Snyder as a filmmaker before that film was even released. I thought Dawn of the Dead and 300 (especially on second viewing) were both meh and I really found myself not liking the theatrical cut of Watchmen. So you can imagine how un-surprised I was when I walked out of Sucker Punch not liking it.

That’s fair enough from your personal perspective, but I did find myself liking Watchmen and 300, being just ok Dawn of the Dead. I really should have realized earlier on with his filmography and especially Sucker Punch that Man of Steel was going to be a piece of shite. Up until The Last Jedi, Man of Steel was bar none the most disappointing experience ever, which was presided by another highly disappointing film from his filmography.

Suicide Squad is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse.
