What are some of the worst films you have seen?

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.

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.

Indeed it was.

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

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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 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.
 
This is a must see guys..youll never see anything worst..

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

Was that during the Gil Amelio debacle?

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:

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 :).
 
Going to try and revive this.

Mank

I didn’t even make it to an hour.

On a side note. I always find it interesting when a film that is generally accepted as bad, has a really good IMDB rating. What’s that about?
 
Years ago I got a DVD set from somewhere that has 50 war movies from the old days. Out of the fifty, about three or four are good, a few are decent, but most are really junk. Some, in fact, are SO bad, that they are fun to watch. My favorite is one about WWII - the Allies have M16s and the Nazis have AK-47s. The tanks are trucks with treads painted on plywood hanging from the sides and the planes are toys on strings. Explosions are firecrackers around miniatures. Why someone bothered is beyond me. I can't imagine any theater in the world showing the thing.
 
I will argue to my dying day that ET is massively overrated.

But as a massive Star Wars fan, Solo is maybe the worst movie I have ever seen.
 
MegaForce. Totally cheeseball with horrible effects for the ending. Plus Barry Bostwick in a jumpsuit.
 
Clawed - just an awful wannabe teen horror movie.
Jurassic World - Fallen Kingdom : I almost left the theatre, just a stupid movie, with stupid plot holes.
Wonder Woman 1984: A bad, bad movie. Overall not nearly near the first movie, with stupid scenes and quite possibly a case of unintentional (from the writers' point of view) rape.
Rampage: wannabe action movie, first case ever I fell asleep at the theatre.

i've only walked out of one movie in my entire life, and to give you an idea of how bad it was, i feel asleep (and "no" i wasn't tired!) with my hand in the popcorn. "the english patient." and surprisingly it was nominated for 12 oscars, won 9, best picture, best actor and best supporting actress among others.
