As a seasoned movie critic, I've had the pleasure of witnessing some of the most confounding cinematic catastrophes to ever hit the big screen. You know, those films that leave you scratching your head and wondering how they managed to make it past the development stage without someone shouting "red flag!" from the rooftops. Welcome to Rotten Tomatoes' Worst Offenders – a deep dive into Hollywood's most baffling box office disasters.

The Great Train Wreck of 1996: The Postman

Kevin Costner, the master of... well, not-so-masterful storytelling. In this epic disaster, he takes on the role of a postman tasked with delivering mail across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Sounds intriguing? Think again. This overblown, overstuffed monstrosity clocks in at 167 minutes (yes, you read that right – 2 hours and 47 minutes!) yet somehow manages to leave audiences feeling unfulfilled and uninspired.

A Dose of Déjà Vu: The Butterfly Effect

This psychological thriller promised a lot with its mind-bending premise. Ashton Kutcher stars as Evan, a teenager whose actions inadvertently change the past. However, the film's poor pacing and lackluster plot twists render it an exercise in tedium rather than a thought-provoking exploration of causality.

Blockbuster Blunders: The Lone Ranger

When Disney greenlit this costly adaptation of their beloved franchise, everyone assumed it would be a box office smash. Nope! With its clunky dialogue and underdeveloped characters, The Lone Ranger turned out to be more "lone bore" than iconic hero.
