2015 brought us some real gems like "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "Ex Machina," but there were also a lot of clunkers.

We consulted film aggregator Rotten Tomatoes to sort out the worst-reviewed movies of 2015. What did we learn? Remakes aren't always the way to go.

Keep reading to see the worst films of the year.

[TIE] 16. "Pan": 26%

Now that Disney is finding success in turning all of its animated movies into live-action films, Warner Bros. wanted to cash in on the trend, too. The only problem? They probably should have reconsidered doing a prequel to "Peter Pan." 

"Joe Wright's Pan is lacking in the fun, excitement, and magic that made earlier adaptations of Peter Pan so endearing and memorable, leaving behind a troubled prequel that even kids will more than likely find to be a tremendous bore,"said the Examiner's Jeff Beck.

It also didn't help that its star, Hugh Jackman, was mostly unrecognizable as Blackbeard. Nope, he's not even Captain Hook.



[TIE] 16. "Jupiter Ascending": 26%

Channing Tatum in eyeliner and with wolf ears does not a good movie make. Fans should have been alarmed when the Wachowski siblings' next sci-fi movie was abruptly pushed back 10 months. What was supposed to be Warner Bros.' big summer tentpole in 2014 turned out to be a wacky romance between a reincarnated royal and a half-human, half-wolf creature (Tatum) who team up to stop youth-hungry aliens from harvesting humans for their cells. 

It also gave us this strange performance from now Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne.

 



15. "Transporter: Refueled": 17%

The first few "Transporter" films with Jason Statham were enjoyable, but when you make a fourth film and replace him with an unrecognizable newcomer (Ed Skrein), it's a lot of rehashing what the first trilogy did without making it feel fresh. 

"Cheap silliness abounds, including car chases that are more about loud crashes and CGI than the thrill of speed,"writes Los Angeles Times' Robert Abele.
