"Birdman" and "Boyhood" were among the best movies of 2014

What were the worst?

The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes provided Business Insider with the 10 worst-reviewed movies of last year, pulling data from films that received 40 or more reviews.

[TIE] 9. "No Good Deed": 10%

Estimated budget: $13.2 million
Worldwide gross: $53.8 million

The fall movie looked like a potentially feel-good thriller; however, the talent of Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson was ultimately wasted along with a letdown of a twist at the end.

Entertainment Weekly:

With performers as strong as Henson and Elba, and the guidance of director Sam Miller, who's worked with Elba in a handful of Luther episodes, it should have yielded more. The trite third act reveal only further sours the wasted potential.

[TIE] 9. "The Nut Job": 10%

Estimated budget: $42 million
Worldwide gross: $113.3 million

Will Arnett may have won kids over as Batman in "The Lego Movie," but the same could not be true of his role as a squirrel. The animated picture featuring his and Liam Neeson's voice talents was called an "ugly animation" with too many gas and fart jokes

8. "Vampire Academy": 9%

Estimated budget: Over $30 million
Worldwide gross: $15.4 million

The "Twilight"-meets-"Mean Girls" film ended up being one of the biggest bombs at the box office last year, suffering from "lame jokes" and a lazy attempt to build upon popular franchises.

Variety:

Not only plays like the crassest possible mashup of "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" elements, but seems designed to make those franchises look like eternal monuments of world culture by comparison.
