Black Ops (2008)

Smithee Award Nominations

Worst Science
Nazi Ghost Super-Soldier! Genetically mutated Nazi ghost supersoldier

Worst Cover Copy

So Secret, Even the Cover Lies

The cover doesn't just contradict the movie, it contradicts itself. The call-out says they're Navy SEALs, the text says they're Marines (they're SEALs). The text says it's a battleship, but the picture shows a freighter (it's a freighter). There is no NCIS investigator. And, as we saw in the Worst Science clip, the mastermind behind the attacks is the ghost of a Nazi supersoldier, not "a notorious terrorist named Fadawi."
