What are some of the worst films you have seen?

[quadG5guy]

Avatar. From the cheesy and predictable plot to the shallow and poorly developed characters. That's 3 hours of my life I wish I could have back. The computer graphics were pretty amazing though, so it *looked* spectacular. Too bad it was an awful movie.

How could they have better developed the characters? Most movies, there is not a lot of time to allow characters to develop. What you see is what you get, except for the characters who change their perspective during the course of the movie- The paraplegic marine, the scientists, the head of the project, the Na'vi, the macho marine, all with different view points, prejudices, and motivations. You saw the corporation and the para-military entrench in their views, while the hero, his girl friend, scientists, and the Na'vi tribe developed into acceptance and resistance, no? :)

I like Robert Downy but I thought the latest Sherlock Holmes was horrible story telling and a waste of my time, reconfirmed by wife's agreement. :)

Thinking back I love several of the comic-to-movie movies, mostly Spiderman, Mystery Men, the X-Men series, The Punisher, but the worst were Sin City and Dare Devil, as in no redeeming qualities. Yech!!

[quadG5guy]

Don't forget Wicker Man, and Mad Max 2: Thunderdome.

Seriously? You walked out of Schindler's List? Did the historical value of it go right over your head? :rolleyes:

That's just one of those movies that everybody should see for the historical significance of it alone. If you went to Schindler's List to be entertained, then you picked the wrong movie.

Actually, Tom Green was fantastic in that movie. Gigli is in my top 10 as well. Ben Aflack is just amazing. I cried at the end.

I'm also afraid I'm going to hate it.

Oh, don't worry Lee. There is a good chance you won't like the story, dialogue, characters, etc, etc, but it really is worth seeing just for the visual masturbation.

[partyBoy]

Is it me ? or does Avatar have a similar story line and characters from the disney movie called - Atlantis:Lost Empire:confused:

[Decrepit]

Highlander II. I got 10 people to go to opening night because it was going to be so awesome.

They barely spoke to me ever again after that.

After that was Firewall with Harrison Ford. Got stuck watching that crapfest during a "team building exercise" where my team went out to eat, and watch a movie. Conveniently, no talking amongst ourselves, so no team building. Just a glorified carpool. But still, man that movie was awful.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I don't know. I'm afraid.

Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to arrive thirty minutes late, the character development made me cringe.

[TechieJustin]

Zardoz.

Sean Connery.

The Shawshank Redemption

To me, The Shawshank Redemption might be the most underrated movie of all time.

mt

[TechieJustin]

OK... I probably shouldn't post this but I will anyway.
Worse movie I ever saw - Schindler's List. Liam Neeson is an awful actor. The movie was historically inaccurate. In the movie Neeson's character orders the workers to make ammunition that doesn't work. Sorry, Spielberg if any factory in Nazi Germany had such a high failure rate; the owners wouldn't have been around very long.

"Liam Neeson" always sounded like a brand of Asian style noodle soup in a microwave cup to me. I could never get past that to watch the dude perform.

He is among several actors whose appeal I just don't understand. Among others; Woody Allen, Hugh Grant, Vin Diesel, Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves...
I simply refuse to see any movie with any of them in it.

Which means... yes I hate The Matrix.

[Mr. McMac]

I hope you mean the recent, Keanu Reeves version.

Ditto. The original 1951 version was excellent

[TechieJustin]

I kind of liked that one. :o

I couldn't watch the whole thing.
I'm a smart guy. Automata Theory, Federal Taxation I & II - I get it.
Zardoz - it beat me. I admit defeat.
the movie had several chicks - topless.
None of which had breasts to speak of.

Has anybody mentioned Battlefield Earth?

[MacBoobsPro]

Without doubt... Ghost Rider!

I simply cannot sleep in public places but after an hour I was fast asleep in the cinema watching that pile of crap. It's so bad I can't think of any thing else that even comes close to it.

[King Mook Mook]

Home Alone 4 (yes four). Terrible! I cried at the end of how bad it was. Okay, I didn't actually cry but I cried on the inside. It has potential as a cult classic though.

The Producers (the new one). The play was very good but the movie was bad. I'm sorry but you can't improve on the original 1968 The Producers. That's one of the best films of all time but that's for another thread :D!

Also I just remembered, the film Australia. It was soooooooo bad...... It felt like the film was going to end three times in the movie. This was worse than Home Alone 4. Yes, worse than Home Alone 4. Most people walked out of the theatre. This time people cried from boredom.

Troll 2 is the worst movie ever made. It's on hulu. Go watch it.

It will ravage your senses and make clear to you exactly what bad cinema really is.

Yes it is bad, but so bad it's good and it has a cult. There was actually a showing of it in Toronto last year with cast members speaking and doing Q&A.

Some of my favorite video games have been tournament fighting games. So it makes me wanna vomit when seriously crappy movies are made from games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. I just read the other day that Tekken is the next piece of dung. What a shame. :(

If we're going into the B movie category then, clearly you have never seen Octoman. Also if you want to go into a MST3K kind of bad watch Sidehackers. I dare you to sit through them back to back.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Black Sheep. Not the one with Chris Farley, anything he did was genius, but the one from New Zealand about zombie sheep.

Wild Wild West or whatever that drivel was called. It put me off Hollywood productions for quite some time, which was a good thing to happen anyway.

[TechieJustin]

What about that movie "Congo?"
I worked at a movie theater back then and I can remember about ten people asking for their money back - it was that awful.

Also, Star Trek Generations, Star Trek First Contact, and Star Trek Nemesis - all crap.

[Raid]

Indeed it was.

This was before my time but what about "Caligula?"

[mandizzle]

I hated "Observe and Report" when I saw it this past summer. Surprising miss for Seth R. :(

[TechieJustin]

Regarding Congo - weren't Apple laptops featured pretty heavily in that film? It was the same year as Independence Day..
Good God, Apple could you do any worse?

[niuniu]

Wedding Planner. I'm a die hard movie watcher, I can sit through anything in any genre and make it to the end. But that, I couldn't do it. Even a bad big budget film has entertainment value somewhere, this thing, had nothing to stop me chewing off my arm and spilling my popcorn.

[kellen]

XXX.

I downloaded the movie and still felt ripped off. Just horrible, not even in a good way.

The other worst film I have seen is Roadhouse, however it is a great "bad" movie to watch.

Finally there is Over the Top with Sylvester Stallone. Stallone plays a trucker, who broke up with his wife due to her family being jerks. She is dying and he needs to become friends with his son he never knew. How does he do it? By winning the national arm wrestling championship. Another good/bad movie.

[blackfox]

There are so many truly awful movies, that there couldn't possibly be enough space to list them all. Instead, here are a couple movies that are so bad that they are actually pretty great and entertaining:

1. Zardoz (although already mentioned) - Between the dialogue, the costumes and the nearly-indecipherable plot - this movie has more WTF? moments than almost any movie I've ever seen - and some noble (if overreaching) social commentary.

2. The Room. - So bad on so many levels that it is probably the funniest movie I have seen a few years. Defies any explanation. Ridiculous, awful, yet riveting - Go see it. (For clarification, it came out in 2003)

Star Trek One. :(

I had the great misfortune of having a Trekkie BF for a short while.

Being a total Trekkie, he never got a Driver's License.....

Soooo..... Could I please take him to the theater on Day 1 first thing in the morning?

It was the worst Movie EVER! Most of the audience were hard-core Trekkies and their unfortunate Chauffeurs (such as myself). About 2/3 of the way through people starting boo-ing and chanting "We Want Our Money Back!" . A LOT of people, not just me..

My poor little Trekkie kept saying "sssshhhh! here comes the good part!"
He was right. eventually the movie ended and the lights came back on!

We broke up not too long after that.


A few decades later and out comes Star Trek again.....
Surprise! Another Bomb. :p

Oh well. At least it wasn't quite as mind-numbingly awful as the first one.
Or the third one. Or fifth. How many of those REALLY awful stinkers did they make anyway?


Have Fun,
Keri the Anti-Trekkie

PS. Surprisingly, I like the Star WARS movies OK. Odd, because I've always had a strong dislike of Star TREK.

[dreary]

i saw this horror film called captivity, and it was just awful. i can't remember what it was about, but i think they make snuff films.

Sir John Gielgud in a porn flick? With Peter O'Toole? How could it miss?

I assume many Star Wars fans have no driving license either, or dentists, or white people, or any other kind of classification you can put onto people.

And to Star Trek fans it is known, that the odd numbered films are not the best films in the entire Star Trek Dekalog (Kieslowski's Dekalog is something else entirely though - I mean good).

And the first Star Trek film is the one that divides the most. I personally like although it is quite slow paced some times.


Sorry if that post came off as an attack, but the generalization of Trekkers not having a driving license is quite over the top.


Another entry to the list:

Matrix Re- ...

[CaptMurdock]

The remake of Rollerball. Rented it from Hollywood Video -- did not even finish watching it before we took it back. Wotta stinkburger. I hope James Caan sues them.

Careful you may get flamed around here but no decent geek boyfriend would subject their significant other to such a personal obsession, that would be like my fiance forcing me to watch Harry Potter--we suffer with our differences but do not force them upon eachother perhaps he was more obsessed with the spock ears than he was with the benefits of an intimate relationship LOL

[KeriJane]

Sorry for implying that all Trekkies are obsessed to the point of:

Always working Star Trek into a conversation,

Never obtaining a Driver's License, Job, House, or Life in general.

Obviously, this was a Hard-Core Trekkie and not to be confuse with the functionally Trekkerate.

Yes, I know that people get all obsessed about all kinds of subjects.
I was trying to make the point that I was merely there as a Chauffeur / Date as were a very few others.

That theater by definition (1st showing, 1st day) was full of hard-core Trekkies.

Three decades later it still saddens me when I think about it.
Star Trek ate my Boyfriend! :eek:

To be fair I'll blame TV in general, OK?

Have Fun,
Keri

PS. Star Trek One is still the Worst movie I've ever seen followed closely by most of the others.
I was hoping they got it right or at least better last year but....
No, they didn't.

[kernkraft]

Fortunately, I don't go to see certain genres so I'm already ahead in terms of watching disappointed films. For example I don't watch British films about football and the working class. Yes, I saw Snatch and I saw Lock, Stock...

American horror comedies are awful too. Even on television, I don't like wasting my time with them.

So for me, it's mostly romantic comedies. But that's what gets me into some beds, so I'm fine with Sandra Bullock and 'Jennifer Lopa'. Besides, they are still better than some friends wanting to watch horror or catastrophy...

Yeah, no more Saw and chainsaw for me, thanks!

[sarabella]

I love musicals, but I recently tried to watch Mamma Mia! and turned it off half way through. It has a great cast, and I know it was huge on Broadway, so I was surprised that I hated it.

I guess if you're going to film a musical, it's best to use people who can actually sing instead of cramming as many "names" in as possible.

[Jaro65]

"If" with Malcolm McDowell. Give it a try!

I watched it a number of years ago, and I still really don't know what that movie was all about.

Oh, that reminds me, add any musical to my personal list of "Worst movies ever"

I hate them with a passion. Seriously. Please show me a Puerto Rican gang that breaks out into song and dance in the middle of a knife fight. I don't mind movies being completely unrealistic and detached from reality if they're entertaining, but musicals are just a complete bore.

you mean the semi Pr0n pic were the guy goes something like:
"I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist till the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Pius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man; and therefore I am .... a god."
^That one? It was the awesome. Bad yes, but I'd watch it again

Regarding Congo - weren't Apple laptops featured pretty heavily in that film? It was the same year as Independence Day..
Good God, Apple could you do any worse? Yeah the marketing people I guess wanted a bunch of Macs in movies. In independance day they are actually using 8.2(?) Which hadn't hit the market when the movie came out.

[mamcx]

Dragon Ball: The Movie

Game set

(Dragon ball was very boring after the first season, but this movie...)

Dragon Wars. The first 10 seconds, good.

[63dot]

Spiderman 3, only in that I expected it to be as good as the first two.

If S3 was a movie by itself, then I would say it was pretty good.

[r1ch4rd]

I'd heard good things about Grindhouse. However, it was repackaged for the UK. I don't know if they did something in that process, or if it was bad to begin with, but the film I have hated most in recent years is Death Proof. I now have no desire to watch Planet Terror.

[lostprophet894]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Black Sheep. Not the one with Chris Farley, anything he did was genius, but the one from New Zealand about zombie sheep.

You leave that movie alone!!

My girlfriend and I had to call a few Blockbusters to find it. It's great if you know what kind of movie you're getting ready to watch. And the female lead is fun to look at.

[dmr727]

I think we need to take all 80s films off the table. That time period was awesome because nobody took themselves seriously. The movies were gloriously bad.

[Bimmi]

I was recently laid up for three weeks with a pinched nerve. During this time I watched a lot, and I do mean a LOT of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and I think the sheer weight of cinematic badness was beginning to get to me.

I've especially come to dread any episode with a feature from the '50s. The gender roles these films depict have been, almost without exception, completely hosed up. Women exist to scream and be condescended to, while men just stand around smoking or looking grimly determined when they're not beating the crap out of each other, and everyone is just so amazingly unpleasant. Give me sleazy '60s or cheesebo '80s over this stuff anyday.

[Dave77]

Its a movie called BLACK AND WHITE with Mike Tyson
Its so silly you wouldnt stay until the end at some point in the movie some homosexual reporter or photographer want to make out with him and then got beaten or something.
You guys must watch this its totally crap movie..the language is incomprehensible..the plot is..well which plot?
anyway have a good laugh

[TechieJustin]

I think we need to take all 80s films off the table. That time period was awesome because nobody took themselves seriously. The movies were gloriously bad.

I was born in 1978 so I think I know what you mean. There was alot going on in the 1980's. The US still had Vietnam fresh in its mind - the DC memorial was completed in 1983. The crash of 1987 - Raegan's famous "I don't know what happened because there's nothing wrong with the economy." Regarding the crash - it was caused by overdependence on automated trading. In other words computers caused the crash.
Remember the Beiruit Marine Corps bombing? Al Queda was born in the 1980's. Knight Rider. David Hasselhoff's belt buckles were bigger than KITT. PC's were becomming more and more popular - 1984 anyone? Macintosh? Lisa?

You can tell alot about an era by its movies. 1980's movies were strange, but 1970's movies (to me) were stranger; probably because I wasn't around to experience the 70's. 60's era movies are interesting to me because they're primitive. Steve Mqueen is so stereotypical of the era - and he knew it.

I have a movie from the 50's called "The Bridges of Toko Ri" a Korean war movie. I'm trying to understand my dad's generation and I'm having little success. There was a scene where a high ranking naval officer says "We have to fight the commies there or eventually fight them in Chicago!" Did people actually believe that? Yes, they did. :confused:

So maybe its not entirely "proper" to judge some of these old movies - but its fun anyway. :apple:

[Bytor65]

Transformers. Definitely the worst movie ever made. :(

Which one? I caught the first one on TV and had it on in the background and don't remember much about it.

Maybe that is why I didn't know any better and rented T:ROF one night while bored.

OMFG: I don't know if I ever saw a worse movie, but if I did this erased all memories of it. With liberal use of FFWD, I "watched" it in about 20 minutes. Extremely sad that this was one of the top grossing movies of 2009.

I have seen some really bad 1's but the only one I can think of which I saw last night was called Legion that was pretty poor. I’m not sure why though I mean it did have potential to be a good Horror/Action film guns demon people thing but it just failed really badly. Dennis Quaid’s acting was really P*ss poor I haven’t really seen him in a film before but I’m sure he isn’t that crappy normally is he?. The ending was really weak which disappointed me becasue the film was good in a way till that point Besides Quaid’s poor acting (but he got kill so all seemed good). If I think of any more ill be back :).

To me, The Shawshank Redemption might be the most underrated movie of all time.

THAT is one absolutely superb movie.
