Charlie St Cloud (2010)
The Tagline: Life is for living.
Why It's Terrible: There ought to be a list in Hollywood of banned taglines, and this ultra-banal, ultra-generic nonsense should be top of the list.
What They Should Have Done: Life got more interesting after he died.
Hombre (1967)
The Tagline: Hombre means man... Paul Newman is Hombre.
Why It's Terrible: In other words, Paul Newman is a man. Gee, thanks for sharing.
What They Should Have Done: To survive, they needed more than a man. They needed...Hombre.
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
The Tagline: This time... It's personal.
Why It's Terrible: More of a fault of the film than the poster, but sharks don't have the sentience to understand vengeance.
What They Should Have Done: No more Amity.
Cool As Ice (1991)
The Tagline: When a girl has a heart of stone, there’s only one way to melt it. Just add Ice.
Why It's Terrible: Ice melts stone? Seriously, whoever wrote this needs to retake their chemistry exams.
What They Should Have Done: Keep your composure when it's time to get loose
Silent Rage (1982)
The Tagline: Science created him. Now Chuck Norris must destroy him.
Why It's Terrible: Presumably, the credits should read: Chuck Norris as Himself. (Also, hindsight has conferred additional sniggers in the knowledge of Norris' real-life ultra-right, anti-science religious views.)
What They Should Have Done: Don't fuck with Chuck. (If you really insist on putting the star centre-stage, go for the obvious.)
Yogi Bear (2010)
The Tagline: Great things come in bears.
Why It's Terrible: The unfortunate juxtaposition of tagline and image, which suggests that Yogi is giving Boo-Boo a good rogering.
What They Should Have Done: It's pic-a-nic season.
The Day Of The Dolphin (1973)
The Tagline: Unwittingly, he trained a dolphin to kill the President of the United States.
Why It's Terrible: It's all in the word "unwittingly." If somebody had deliberately trained a dolphin assassin, that'd be pretty cool, actually.
What They Should Have Done: So long, and thanks for all the fish, motherfucker.
The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
The Tagline: Everything that has a beginning has an end.
Why It's Terrible: It marks the point at which the Wachowskis' cod-philosophical musings finally overtook their ability to tell an exciting sci-fi action movie.
What They Should Have Done: Time to get the Matrix under Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
Clash Of The Titans (2010)
The Tagline: Titans will clash.
Why It's Terrible: It's so lazy and reductive it's become a meme for bad taglines. Even The Dark Knight Rises , with its "A fire will rise" slogan isn't exempt. The irony is, at no point in the film do titans actually clash.
What They Should Have Done: Medusa will seduce ya.
Earthquake (1974)
The Tagline: An event.
Why It's Terrible: Note - an event. Not even the event. They could have written lorem ipsum dorum, and it would have looked more enticing.
What They Should Have Done: It's off the scale!
There's a new Mummy movie on the way from the director of Evil Dead Rise and I just want to know if Blumhouse has called Brendan Fraser yet
Marvel Rivals made Jeff the Land Shark so stinkin' adorable that the MCU is bringing him on as an official hero: "We're all Jeff fans around here. Man is he fun to play"
