I don’t recall the name of it, possibly one word, but it involved a businessman in the back of his limo, talking on the phone, riding very slowly through a dark city street. Occasionally objects would be thrown at the limo, and graffiti covered the sides.
A memorably awful film. I couldn’t finish watching it.
I quite liked it as well fwiw. Felt it could have done with a bit more background to what was going on, but that doesn't tend to make for an exciting or well received film (see Star Wars prequels).The Fifth Element is one of those films that's terrible on a narrative level, but visually inspired, and the actors all seemed to be having fun, so it gets a pass. It's a bit like Flash Gordon in that respect - awful on a rational level, but it compensates with masses of charm.
I suppose this is why everyone is different.......
Fifth Element is one of my favourites.....Luc Besson.....👍

Lion King live action - not so much bad in itself, but really failed to live up to the original animated version which was probably my absolute favourite growing up.
Yup very true! Read Disney are now re-making Hercules as well which has to be a close second from my childhood, think I'll give memory lane a miss this time as it's a lot smaller and more plasticky than I remember!How we hold our youthful memories so dear to our hearts. And when those brands or franchises surface again, the new can't hold up to original memories, no matter how good it is. How many times has a song been remade and you tend to like the first one you heard, even if it wasn't the original? It's kind of like that. That's my problem with GI Joe and Transformers movies. They can never live up to my childhood memories.
Got another movie - Fair Game with Cindy Crawford and William Baldwin. I imagine the pitch meeting for this movie had to go something along the lines of the Sprite Death Slug commercial... Supermodel - check. Baldwin brother - check. Russians - check. Plot - we'll get back to that one.
No contest!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
The franchise won't be able to recover from that vandalism. It is one thing to make a "bad film" through incompetence. It is another thing entirely to hijack it and destroy all the existing characters as a political statement for your brand of politics. Honestly, Bob Iger was too distracted with the success of the MCU, to notice Kathleen Kennedy and her band of hack directors were killing Star Wars.
One of my worst too. The original Lion King was also one of my favorites...and I saw it when I was an adult.Lion King live action - not so much bad in itself, but really failed to live up to the original animated version which was probably my absolute favourite growing up.
As far as I’m concerned star wars ended with Return of the Jedi (6 films).This...
The plan for May the 4th is to start watching "Rise of Skywalker" on D+, if almost as bad, stop it mid way through (D+ knows how many times and for how long show is watched) then go and watch "A New Hope". It sends a message anyways...

Once Disney got hold of it......blaaah

Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis. Terrible on every level.
Watchmen
Hard to say, but...
fearing and loathing in las vegas
given its 7.5/10 imd rating by 300K people and Johnny Depp i was awaiting something big.
I tortured myself to complete, didn't understand a thing and didn't know what the movie is about.
this is on my watchlist along with breakfast of the champions. should i retract?
this has to be sarcasm

Fear and Loathing.. I believe you'd have to be a fan of, or familiar with, Hunter S. Thompson.
You made it farther through this heaping pile of dung than I did. Both me and the wife looked at each other about 20-30 minutes in and said, yeah no. Switched movies and never looked back.
i dont know who that is
I am glad i am not the only one. The high rating made me question myself.
