The worst movies you've ever seen?

:lol

Now... HOW would you know that they're poorly written then if you haven't seen them? ;)
Funny story, true story... one of my friends posted up excerpts from the books on her Facebook page to illustrate her point about Stephenie Meyer being an absolutely TERRIBLE writer. And yegods was my friend right... her grammar, her choice of words... I've seen CHILDREN write better stuff! Hell, I was ONE OF those children, and I make NO claims to be a good writer and I've never been published! That Meyer woman probably BARELY scraped through English class by the skin of her teeth! Some people just have NO business being writers! :thumbsdown
I actually haven't and thankfully my wife had no interest. :cool
Oh, she's a KEEPER! Good for you! ;) :thumbsup
 
Last week I watched Final Destination 4 and belive me I usually don't pay much attention to acting, but these (so called) actors were the worst I've ever seen. To me the FX were just made to please the audience in 3D cinemas, but fancy 3D effects do not replace a good script or a good director.

Just my two cents.

Alright, the term 'bad film' probably is too vague to sum up, so I've got a few categories of my less than fondest films...

::So bad they're good::
Troll 2 (I still hated it by the way, it made me cringe as a aspiring film maker, brother's loved it)
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (Who doesn't like alien clowns who turn people into huge cotton balls that liquify their insides for them to drink out with shaped straws? Oh and did I mention you have to kill them by beaning their noses?)

::Garbage (movies I felt like I lost the time in my life watching those films)::
Kill Bill (before you jump all over this let me just say, you can only like it, if you don't mind the hours of ridiculously staged, dialogue-less fight scenes that 'tries' to make up this film)
I'm tempted to say "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" but there was a few times it made me laugh, so it just get's an honorable mention... Nih!

Films I just wouldn't care to ever see again.
District 9 (I'm a big time believer that a film has to end well for it be good, ending sucked, by far, I'll NEVER watch it again, or even give a second thought about not making any prop from it either.)
Any of the Batman Films Pre-Nolan (other than Adam West). (Holy Nipple Suits Batman! Arnold Schwarzenager running around in a tin foil suit, Danny Devito running around quacking like a duck? Seriously? Wait, that's right, none of it -was- serious... Now I got it...)
I could go on for hours about the horror films that were just complete lame, but they aren't supposed to be good, just something to scare you once or twice, so not going there...

Now come at thee trolls!

Love Holy Grail but right with you on Kill Bill. Terrible flick IMO.

KB: Hot girls with swords, about the only redeeming quality:lol, but if thats all I want to see, Sucker Punch delivers hotter girls, cooler swords and better fights. Not that I ejoyed watching SP, it was strickly a sociological experiment...both times :$

Agreed on Kill Bill, and blood does not spurt like it does in that movie. Another example of a horrible movie with great fights is The Legend of Chun-Li

Vanilla Sky, hands down, is the worst movie i have ever seen. I saw it in the theaters when it first came out and I will never ever see it again. It was dull, boring, and i have never been more confused watching a movie in my life. And I hate it when movies take the last 10 minutes to explain everything that happened throughout the whole film when they could just as easily have explained it as they went along. Lucky Number Sleven did that too, but i liked the movie and it did actually serve to add a to the plot with a surprise twist at the end.

I will agree with you that Captain America was fairly boring. However, I have no idea how Starship Troopers, Watchmen, and the Fifth Element are the worse movies you have ever seen.

One another note, I recently watched Southland Tales on Netflix. It was confusing, had terrible acting, and overall was just a miserable movie.
 
I only will count movies that actually showed in theaters and with that in mind there is ONE that stands apart from the rest when someone says "horrible movie".

"House of the Dead" directed by Uwe Boll.

I enjoyed the hell out of playing the arcade game, but he took it and turned it into the the worst movie ever.

Only time I really wanted my money back after seeing a movie.

Anyone that said TRON: Legacy....shame on you! It's an amazing film.

Plus, am I the only adult SW fan that likes TPM?

Rest assured, you are not alone. I too liked TPM and the rest of the prequels, though i thought AOTC was weekest.

And in answer to the original question, any movie put out by syfy channel. The only one i've seen that i liked was a recent one they put out. It was an Aladdin story.
 
TPM was weak in the crowd-pleasing category but at least it felt well-constructed overall.

AOTC was just weak. You could really tell they slammed that thing through production just to get it over with. You get the feeling that GL cared a lot about all of TPM, and a lot about portions of ROTS, but not much of AOTC.



Vanilla Sky
, so bad? Not to me. I was just rolling with the emotional trip it took though. It seemed obvious that the movie was not about the mystery of what was happening in the logical sense, so much as the effect on the protagonist.

I also liked A.I. a whole lot though, and not many people do. I thought its worst offense was not being the movie that people walked into the theater wanting to see.

IMHO Vanilla Sky and A.I. suffered from similar problems with audiences - people came to the theater wanting to see a different movie than they got. Combine that with the fact that both movies had compromised logic/plot for the sake of raw emotional rollercoasters . . . it becomes unforgivably frustrating for many people.
 
I'll probably get some flak for saying this, but one of the worst films I've seen is Suckerpunch. Just really a bad excuse for hot girls and guns (not that I'm complaining at that bit in itself :lol ) but the portrayal of the characters was pretty dire, and the setting of a mental institution was a poor way to have girls "fighting the male power". To have attractive girls shown being mentally and emotionally vulnerable in a weird-ass mental home, whilst still attempting to sexualise them actually made me really uncomfortable. ASide from the misogynistic undertones, the dialogue and plot was terrible, the plot literally made no sense; like if they had a key that opened all the doors, why did they need fire to open all the doors; and if they didn't know that they were going to get caught, why did they actually need the knife?
Well anyway, the soundtrack and visuals were rather nice. I haven't seen many truly awful movies though...
 
"Knowing"..... Unremiting tedium.Had it clocked 10 minutes in. Made me question how Nicholas Cage keeps getting work: I suspect he has video footage of the heads of 3 Hollywood studios killing a hobo.

Anything with M.Night Shalyaman as the director... Particularly "The Happening" (In which nothing much happens and any sense of tension is defused 20 seconds later by some random exposition that explains what you've just seen....It's like a horror movie pretending to be documentary/eco-warning and failing at both)

Skyline- Great idea that received a head injury and suffered with patchy amnesia throughout. Just fell to pieces in front of my eyes.

Reign Of Fire- Because the movie poster and trailer showed Apache gunships fighting with fire-breathing DRAGONS!...I mean, come on people- 100% awesome....Imagine my howling disapointment when the only helicopter that turns up is some candy-assed Allouette which they'd armed. With a load of flashbulbs......Hollywood: My vengenance will be a story that grandparents whisper to children to frighten them.

Remake of the Italian Job which has precisely zero of the feature of the original. Except the title.

Remake of the Day The Earth Stood Still- because Keanu Reeves managed to make a supposedly emotionless alien overseer seem more plywood than neccesary, and taking the classic 'Cold War Paranoia' of the original into an Eco-parable made me want to punch the screen in anger.

All and any 'found footage' films, because pointing off screen and screaming to a camcorder "WTF is that?!....OMG OMG OMG!" isn't scary.
{except Rec and Cloverfield which were both ace...And honorable mention to Trollhunter which was enourmous fun!}

All and any 'torture porn' type horror movies- Saw, Hostel and the rest....Seriously: if that's what you're into for kicks, seek professional help. For the sake of your arrested development.

Happy Feet. So.Many.Morals.Crammed.Down.My.Throat.Every.10.Minutes.Gaaaah.

Ballistic- Ecks Vs Sever, which I bought for £1 from CEX (because it'd got Lucy Liu firing a P90 on the back and I figured it'd be worth gunporn) and even then felt cheated.

Trail of the Pink Panther

Peter Sellers is dead, so whats your idea for the new movie? Just throw in a bunch of footage from the previous movies, shoot new footage around the old footage to make it look like it's new footage hope to god people don't notice. I mean, how will they remember what they saw in the theaters years ago? They'll never be able to watch these movies at home anyways.
