( CNN ) -- `` Ballistic : Ecks vs . Sever '' had few fans upon its release in 2002 . The $ 70 million movie , starring Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu , was a box office failure , making just $ 14.3 million domestically and less than $ 6 million overseas . Antonio Banderas , above , and Lucy Liu starred as dueling secret agents in 2002 's `` Ballistic : Ecks vs . Sever . '' And critics were scathing . `` A career low for both Liu and Banderas , '' said Empire magazine . `` Ecks this one off your must-see list , '' wrote the New York Post 's Lou Lumenick . But , seven years after its release , `` Ecks '' can now claim one honor : It 's the worst movie of the decade , according to RottenTomatoes.com , the movie review aggregator site . Watch clips from Top 25 worst movies on list » . With the aughts winding down and September traditionally a rough month for movies , Rotten Tomatoes decided it was a good time to update an old list of bad movies and look at some of this decade 's worst , said Matt Atchity , the site 's editor-in-chief . `` We 've seen some really , really poorly reviewed movies in the last few weeks , '' he said . `` That kind of made us think ... to update this list and focus on the last 10 years . '' `` Ecks '' received a unanimous thumbs-down , giving it a 0 percent Tomatometer rating . Thirteen other movies in Rotten Tomatoes ' horrible hundred also had zero good reviews -- including 2002 's `` Pinocchio '' ( the Roberto Benigni version ) and 2004 's `` Superbabies '' ( directed by `` Christmas Story '' auteur Bob Clark ) , but no other movie came close to `` Ballistic 's '' expansive perfection : 107 reviews , none good . Atchity said it 's rare for a movie to pick up a goose egg on the Tomatometer . `` Usually some [ reviewer ] , somewhere , likes something , '' he said . Besides , Atchity added , it 's all relative . Though the oeuvre of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer -- the makers of critically reviled parody films such as `` Epic Movie '' and `` Meet the Spartans '' -- included four movies on the worst 100 list , their films routinely do well at the box office . Still , Atchity defends the role of movie critics , themselves much reviled ( and , given the struggles of newspapers and the rise of social media , much unemployed ) in recent years . Critics may not be able to doom a bad movie , but they can give a boost to small good ones -- and they keep a dialogue going about movies in general , he said . `` I think that criticism in this day and age becomes even more important , because you ca n't , as a moviegoer , let the studio 's marketing arms dictate what you 're seeing , '' he said . `` I think it 's important as a society that we be discussing the art we 're consuming . '' Which brings us back to `` Ecks vs . Sever . '' Could it be an overlooked classic ? Well , no . `` It 's pretty bad , '' Atchity said .
