Although it was a great year for movies in 2015, I did come across some not-so-good ones in the batch. So, with that, I'll start with a poem:
Below are the duds ...
The turds. The failures, flops and busts.
The worsts. The washouts, lemons and mutts.
The dumbest, stupidest films that flashed before my eyes.
The two hours plus that I'll never get back alive.
Enjoy the following (in no particular order), compliments of my evil movie-going doppelgänger Twitter feed: One-Sentence Movie Review
Get Hard
'Get Hard': This Ferrell/Hart anti-PC, going-to-prison comedy starts out fully erect, but gets a little limp towards the end. @gethardmovie

The Giver
'@thegivermovie': This film serves as proof that some great American literary novels should not be made into films.

Before I Go To Sleep
'@Be4IGotoSleep': Firth & Kidman almost put me to sleep, almost, in this paint-by-numbers insomnia thriller that has more yawns than chills.

Men, Women & Children
‘Men, Women & Children’: Sappy ensemble piece about the dangers of the internet with lack of story cohesion and a ‘meh’ ending. @MWCMovie

Vacation
‘#VacationMovie ’: Rusty attempts to recreate the magic of his father's 80's road trip, but doesn't even manage to get out of the garage.

The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies
‘Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies': I honestly couldn't wait for Bilbo to get back to the shire so this overblown CGI video game could end.

Dumb and Dumber To
'Dumb And Dumber To:' Showed up to see more of Lloyd & Harry's funny antics, but left with the nostalgia of the original in my mind @DumbTo

Pixels
'#PIXELSMovie ': Sandler fuses GHOSTBUSTERS with 80's Video Games in hopes of a high score, yet only delivers a quarter's worth of laughs.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 & 2
'@TheHungerGames Mockingjay Pt. 1': Well-acted yet light-on-content, this third film serves as a money-making grab before the final chapter.

'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2': Although well acted & directed, it's a yawn-inducing drama with lots of talk & very little action.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
'#AlexanderMovie ': Alexander and the terribly acted, horribly directed, not very well written, very bad #movie .
