Despicable Me

Despicable Me (2010) – It follows a worn-out chick-flick formula and most of its jokes are aimed squarely at tiny children, and while it’s occasionally funny, it’s too often annoying; the worst part is it easily could have been much better; Steve Carell’s dodgy accent is all over Europe. 5

Robin Hood

Robin Hood (2010) – It’s decent enough, but the thin, spiritless story is completely unremarkable and not the slightest bit epic; maybe it’s finally time to lower our expectations of Ridley Scott. 6

The A-Team

The A-Team (2010) – It manages to be mostly entertaining while not ever being the slightest bit intelligent; the 80’s sensibilities combined with the modern effects might make this the most ridiculous movie ever that didn’t have Michael Bay’s name on it; Patrick Wilson is a highlight. 5

The Expendables

The Expendables (2010) – The large roster of action stars is impressive (not you, Statham), but the film, in both the action and the “story,” couldn’t be more generic; the undisputed star of the movie is Terry Crews’ magical shotgun. 5

The Other Guys

The Other Guys (2010) – Despite a great cast, this is a shockingly unfunny buddy cop parody; for some inexplicable reason, it also thinks it has something serious to say about investment fraud. 4
