Already we are seeing trailers for movies that don't look particularly good or even average at first glance. One in Particular is Jumper, which btw stars HAYDN CHRISTENSEN. I know most of these films don't even have trailers yet, but that's the point! Here at rifftrax we're supposed to prematurely judge things and vote on how bad things are long before we even see them!

Like the Scary Movie folks can even hope to gross a million with that tired old franchise??

Well, maybe they'll have the good sense and dignity to relegate the release to a direct to DVD status.

Oh god I voted for the Mummy and only saw the Ace Ventura one after voting, my mind must have blocked it out as I read through the list.

In the Name of the King absolutely reeks of direct-to-DVD, but I'm in the same boat as Tripe actually - didn't see Ace Ventura Jr. before I voted.

If I had to rank them from best to worst chances of not suck?

10,000 BC 
The Eye
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor 
Wanted
Jumper
Madagascar 2: The Crate Escape 
Scary Movie 5 
Ace Ventura Jr. tied with In the Name of the King

Yeah see I think we can rely on a constant established by precedent: Jim Carey Movie sequel - Jim Carey = high suckitude

Well, I almost voted for Ace Ventura, Jr., but I figure that the name "Uwe Boll" is pretty much a 100% Silver Certificate Guarantee of Pure Suck.
Correction: the coat hanger should be upside down.

Oh my god, In the Name of the King is directed by Uwe. I had no idea. This movie may very well destroy the universe.

I'm going to plump for my old pal Uwe.  He's never let me down yet.  Though there does seem to be quite a few on that list that'll also be pretty terrible.  Jumper has a trailer on www.apple.com though, and it looks half-decent.

I was going to go with Ace, but i went with Scary Movie 5. An absolute lack of potential.

anais.jude

i can't find out any info on scary movie 5 on imdb, although i have no faith in it. i went with ace ventura jr

I saw the preview for Jumper in the theater last week and I'm not impressed.  Hayden still has the same acting abilites we've come to expect from him and I us "abilities" loosely.

I hope scary movie 5 bombs so badly that no one ever lets those hateful, poisonous, motherfucking asshole wayans boys near another movie studio ever again.
Everyone who believes in justice, racial equality and free speech should support Duane "the Dog" Chapman and boycott anyone who takes action against him.
