Wasting both time and money watching one crappy movie is bad enough, but 25 of them? That's roughly 40-plus hours of our lives squandered in 2012 thanks to inept directors, middling actors, and inferior screenwriters. So, yes, get ready to feel the wrath of scorned moviegoers everywhere through Complex's evisceration of The 25 Worst Movies of 2012.

Their crimes can't go unpunished, especially when there were so many talented filmmakers producing superior films this year. With the good always comes the bad, of course, yet these creative bombs take that assumption to the extreme, going well beyond "bad" into the "these people seriously need time-outs" territory. Peep them for yourselves and see if you agree. If you do, get ready for the self-loathing associated with realizing cash and minutes were forever lost to their dreadfulness.
