We've already looked at some of the most notable movie websites of 2007, now let's get down to the countdown, and see how the official movie sites ranked in 2007, starting with the WORST 9 Official Movie Websites of 2007 reviewed here at Best Movie Websites this year. All these movie websites were bad, boring, and uninteresting... but what made them stand out as not being the best? Let's take a look...

Official Movie Website Countdown: From Best of The Worst, to the Worst Movie Site in 2007:

#7 - Charlie Wilson's War - 2 out of 5 stars - Only thing to do is read the movie synopses and biographies on the crew and cast. Shouldn't a movie with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts given us more on their official website? What bumped it up from only 1 star? There are downloads and a "Contact your congressman" feature.

#6 - Cloverfield - 2 out of 5 stars - So much mystery with this movie...starting with the name, is it 1-18-08 or Cloverfield? Well, we finally found out it's Cloverfield. What's up with the Cloverfield Official Movie Website? Well, not much, NO movie synopses, NO download, and NO info on the movie at all!!! So then why does it have 2 stars? Because they've taken kind of a unique approach on their site, posting pictures at regular intervals, giving the Clover-heads a puzzle to figure out. Neat approach to a movie website.

#5 - Beowulf - 2 out of 5 stars - This movie received lots of promotion and publicity, obviously big budget...so why is the website so lacking? Almost all that you'll find are links to other places..buy toys, buy the comic, buy other the game...what about some free stuff for the Beowulf movie fans?

#4 - Saw IV - 2 out of 5 stars - Personalize your own Jigsaw video was just not that customizable. Not that interesting a site, although if you're of age, you can find some unrestricted trailers.

#3 - There Will Be Blood - 1 out of 5 stars - No games. No E-Cards. No downloads. Come on! Give movie fans something!!

#2 - The Brave One - 1 out of 5 stars - Read about the film, or get a wallpaper download, that's it!

And, the #1 WORST OFFICIAL MOVIE WEBSITE in 2007, reviewed here at best movie websites:
#1 - Awake - 1 out of 5 stars - No aim downloads, no wallpaper downloads, no games, no fun stuff AT ALL! Watch a trailer and read a VERY brief movie synopses...why even go through the trouble of building a website for us Jessica Alba?

Over the past year we've reviewed some of the best movie websites of 2007 and some of the worst sites of 2007. Let's take a look at some of the year's most notable official movie websites featured here at best movie websites:
