The Combination Rule (or "Bad meets Worse"):
No movie that's been advertised as being a combination of two or more other movies ("critics say it's 'The Godfather' meets 'Happy Gilmore'!") has ever been any good.
Great Rule... ditto holds true for any movie that a critic describes
as being "like X on [insert controlled substance of choice]", e.g. "Passenger 57 is like Die Hard on speed"...you know you're in for some serious cinematic pooh.

What exactly did Roger Ebert ask you about Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back? |
