I\'ve given the former some thought since my previous nomination needed more elaboration. The movie, for one, is a prime example of how not to direct a film (as seen through the film\'s sharp jumps in settings and nonsensical grip of the plot). Speaking of plot, the story is excessively slow and filled with painful dialogue, weak special effects and pathetic acting. The kicker? The title character doesn\'t appear until the last few seconds of the movie! As if that doesn\'t condemn this movie to be this, fans of over-the-top horror/nasty movies like films from Troma Productions view this film unfavorably due to the lack of gore and the wasted potential of the title monster. WebOriginal/TheCinemaSnob has given a scathing review aside, the few professional reviews I did find gave it 2/10 stars at most. And, for InTheGallBladder\'s curiosity, it \

See the previous posts from a few months back, but \\\'\\\'Cats and Dogs 2\\\'\\\' is, in short, a painful example of {{Sequelitis}} that holds a 14% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a 3.9 IMDb rating.


P.S. Keep a lookout for Ethan Hawke\\\'s and Selena Gomez\\\'s \\\'\\\'{{Getaway}}\\\'\\\'. As of August 30, 2013, it has a 2% on RT, a 21 on Metacritic, and a 4.1 on IMDb. Its recent release is the only reason I am not adding it, as the Box Office numbers have yet to come out. It is, however, projected to bomb hard against competing movies like the OneDirection movie, \\\'\\\'WereTheMillers\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'TheButler\\\'\\\', and \\\'\\\'{{Film/Elysium}}\\\'\\\', so it\\\'s a likely possibility.
