Some A-listers have starred in films that critics have unanimously hated.
Each movie on this list received a 0% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Not all movies starring A-listers are hits. In fact, some of them become total box-office flops and are hated by critics and audiences alike.
For example, in 1991, Sean Connery returned to the role of Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez in "Highlander II: The Quickening" after the first film became a cult classic. Unfortunately, the second film was received negatively and lost the studio money, earning just $15 million at the worldwide box office against a $34 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo.
All the movies on our list received a 0% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, who certainly had some choice words for the films.
Look at all the A-listers who starred in critics' most-hated movies.
