AVP was pretty awful.  But it also begs a sequel...what happens to that chick who survives?  Does she become a superhero?  As Daredevil begat Elektra, so AVP begats Superchick.
 
 GRRRRRREAT TOPIC, BTW

The worst movie I ever paid to see at a theater is Batman & Robin. The second worst is Godzilla (the 1998 remake with Matthew Broderick, not the classic original). Neither are in the past five years, but I mention them for context. I think Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is certainly one of the worst I've seen in the past couple years. It somehow managed to get everything wrong that the first Pirates movie got right.

Chronicles of Riddick.  But it Was interesting to note that in the far future they still use those toggle switches you can buy down at yer local ACE hardware.  Those simple toggle switches are gonna be around forever.  They were in ALIENS, too.

i think that what i cannot stand or abide about almost all of these movies is that they are just completely divorced from reality in every way imaginable.  i mean, i can be fine with whatever the initial premise of the movie is.  for instance, aliens invading the planet, but don't have the whole family reuniting in boston all happy and shit like the end of the war of the worlds.  what the fuck is that?  it's spielberg is what it is.  he's made some great flicks, but he cannot help it with the cheesiness in almost any film he has ever made.

Last five years?  Superman Returns.
 
 Overall...probably Batman and Robin, though now I can go back and watch it and laugh at the silliness.

Really? What was so awful about Superman Returns? I saw it twice, once on my own and once with my 8 year old. I mean it wasn't great, but I can easily name a dozen movies from the last 5 years that were far worse. Do you not get out to the movies much?

I think any bad movie can be improved greatly by putting two magic words at the beginning of the title: Stephen King's.  Try it yourself.
 
 Stephen King's 40 Year Old Virgin
 
 Stephen King's Chronicles Of Riddick
 
 Stephen King's King Kong

you know i must be still blocking this from my memory... a true stink fest
 
 i liked the Superman movie, but it suffered from the same knocks Spiderman and Batman Returns had, which is they spend so much time telling us the back story in order to reintroduce the franchise.  the elements are in place for a couple of good sequels...

When you factor in the fact that Hulk was directed by Ang Lee it was a total let down.

I think the first half to two-thirds of The Hulk is actually rather good. Ang Lee's visual approach to filming a comic book is very interesting. It doesn't get really stupid until Nick Nolte shows up and the movie is basically ruined from then on with a lot of over-the-top acting and extremely poor writing.
 
 I think I will amend my earlier response and say that Elektra is the worst summer movie I've seen in the past five years.
