Truly, That Was BAD.

[Lord Loss]

Here's a place to discuss and list some of the worst movies you've ever seen. Not a place for just plain old bad, but the truly horrible.

Mine: AVH, Ultraviolet.

[shiram]

The opus of mister Holland

[Douglas]

The opus of mister Holland
What.:smallconfused:

I've seen Mr. Holland's Opus, and while I wouldn't call it a great movie it is definitely not bad.

[Cristo Meyers]

Truly bad: Final Destination 3, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Duplicity

Final Destination 3 managed to remove all the humor that kept 2 good. It was just plain cringe-worthy. Wolverine...well, all I can say is Toon Metal Claws. Duplicity was like sitting down and watching a married couple argue for 2 hours, complete with the uncomfortable feeling.

The list gets cut down sharply when I remove movies that, while not actually bad, I just never saw what everyone else is seeing (the primary example there being Inception).

[Dr.Epic]

Truly bad: Final Destination 3, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Duplicity

Yes, X-Men Origins was horrible: bad plot, they destroyed the concept of Deadpool, horrible CGI. bad characters, and mostly it was just a way to show Wolverine being bad ass (which is what I thought the first three films did).

Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: bad acting, bad plot, bad special effects, and Jet Li, a skilled martial artist only gets like two scenes where he breaks out the ass whooping.

[shiram]

What.:smallconfused:

I've seen Mr. Holland's Opus, and while I wouldn't call it a great movie it is definitely not bad.

That movie was way too long and plainly uninteresting. My experience of it was worsened when someone threw a stink bomb during the 20 first minutes, so we had 2 hours of a boring story, and horrendous smell.

[Mr. Scaly]

Kaww...a film where crows or ravens or whatever eat cows infected with mad cow disease and then go on a killing spree in a local small town. Yeah.

[VanBuren]

Worst movie I ever saw? The Master of Disguise. I was 12, so I didn't know any better at the time.... but wow.

[Dr.Epic]

Here's a place to discuss and list some of the worst movies you've ever seen. Not a place for just plain old bad, but the truly horrible.

So bad it's good, or just plain bad.

[Douglas]

Ok, so the story was not the kind that you like, and you had the misfortune of someone pulling a stupid prank at the same time. That is very different from the story actually being bad or poorly told, and the stink bomb is unfortunate but completely unrelated to the movie itself. Yes, the story is rather more mundane and lower-impact than most modern movies, particularly action movies, but that just means it's in a different genre, not that it's actually bad.

You are perfectly justified in stating that you were not interested in the movie's subject matter, but that is a very different statement from saying that the execution of that subject matter was bad, and I take issue with the latter statement. Mr. Holland's Opus is the life story of a teacher who learns to love his job, and the impact he has on the lives of his students and his community, and while the nature of such a story may not hold your interest I maintain that it is well told.

For a movie to actually be BAD, either the story must be inherently terrible (rather than merely not matching your interests) or the execution of it must be poorly done. For example, The Core (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Core). The central framing premise places realistic science in a strong central role, and it's supposedly set in near-present-day Earth, but all the science they show in the movie is notable primarily for how egregiously WRONG it is. The premise itself is scientifically absurd, and throughout the movie they keep bringing up new bits of science only to get something new horribly wrong, yet there is no hint of irony in any of it so it seems all the dreadful idiocy is meant seriously.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. :smallwink:

[The Glyphstone]

The Movie That Must Not Be Named. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190374/)

The D&D movie sits firmly in the realm of So Bad It's Good. Jeremy Iron's eyebrows and their chief henchmen, Blue Sno-cone Lips, really stole the show.:smallamused:

The made-for-TV sequel is just thoroughly mediocre though.

[Marnath]

I liked X-men: origins :smallfrown:
I agree that Core is dumb, espescially at the end where they self destruct the modules... it survives at the core of the earth but conventional explosives rupture it? Lol whut?
My vote for worst/lamest movie is The Last Starfighter.

[Mx.Silver]

+1 X-men origins


Worst movie I ever saw? The Master of Disguise. I was 12, so I didn't know any better at the time.... but wow.

Oh gods, why did you have to remind me of that?. That was dire.

Other terrible films: Epic Movie, Mama Mia, Meet the Fockers,

[Athaniar]

And I liked The Last Starfighter. Opinions are fun.

As for bad movies, I tried to watch Eragon, but I just couldn't continue. Same with Alone in the Dark. I knew they didn't have a good reputation when I started watching, and the reputation was correct. As for a movie with (somewhat) good reputation that I didn't like, 2001.

EDIT: And Aliens vs Predator: Requiem. I don't know why I even watched it. The first AvP wasn't that bad, but AvPR (Aliens vs Public Relations?) was a mess.

[shiram]

The Spirit was pretty awful.

[Athaniar]

The Spirit was pretty awful.
That's another movie I tried to watch, but didn't continue with. It just didn't interest me.

[Winter_Wolf]

The Spirit was painfully bad, but I have a worse one: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. If I had been driving that day, I would have walked out of the movie. I've sat through a lot of bad movies, but this for me is the definitive "so bad it's terrible" movie. This is one of only two times in my life where I honestly wanted to get up and get the hell out. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was better than Walk Hard. By a LOT.

[Mx.Silver]

That's another movie I tried to watch
Why? No really, why?

[Tirian]

The Spirit could have been a lot better than it was, that's true. Actually, the same could be said of The Shadow. Heh, maybe The Green Hornet will complete the trifecta.

[Cristo Meyers]

I honestly thought The Spirit had a kind of goofy charm to it. It certainly wasn't the worst of movies we went to see that summer (that honour goes to Duplicity)

[The Glyphstone]

I've heard Legion falls squarely into this category.

[Athaniar]

Why? No really, why?
I usually like comic book movies (even though I haven't ever read this particular comic), Samuel L Jackson was in it, that guy who made 300 made it... It sounded like fun. It wasn't.

[snoopy13a]

The worst movie I've ever seen was Bounce.

[Dr.Epic]

I thought Transformers was pretty bad.

[thompur]

Pluto Nash... I win.

[Syka]

Pretty much anything made to debut on SyFy.

As for theatrical releases, I actually could not stand Brokeback Mountain.

Now, I love the actors. Heath Ledger was one of my favorite actors (since Knights Tale), Jake Gyllenhal is normally very good, etc. And, well, they did the best they could.

It was slow paced, uninteresting, and frankly I didn't feel well developed. I know it got lots of accolades, and it deserved them for the cinematography. But storywise it was just...dragging. I watched it with four others of varying movie tastes. ALL of us sat through it only because we kept thinking it'd be over soon (when you are, literally, 15 minutes in and thought in all seriousness that it was an hour...that's bad).


And I'm not a picky movie person. I will watch most stuff, even bad movies. This was just painful. It's not like I didn't like the story even. The execution was just horrendous. If they'd retooled the script, it could have even been an interesting story.

In all honesty...having worked at a movie store when it was released on DVD, I didn't speak to one 'average' person who liked it. To this day, I haven't encountered someone who liked it.

[Platinum_Mongoose]

I did not watch Mamma Mia, per se, but I was doing other stuff in the room while it was on. I consider this experience detrimental to my overall quality of life.

[Syka]

Oh, and New Moon. I didn't see any of Twilight, but I saw a decent amount of New Moon since I was on my desktop while my mom watched it.

I didn't like the books, but I was going to give the films a fighting chance since my mom rented it anyway.

Once again, I like at least of the main actors in almost everything else I've seen him in (Pattison).


I cringed. I got about 15 minutes through and just settled for snatches through out while I browsed the internet. The acting was just...wooden. It also seemed like they didn't do much adapting to movie version which isn't really good. Novels generally need to change in order to make a good movie.

[Kris Strife]

Does it have to be ones we've seen or just ones we know to be bad?

[Athaniar]

Pluto Nash... I win.
I didn't find it to be that bad, to be honest.

[Mr. Scaly]

The new A-Team. God, I was so bored watching that movie. I predicted everything that happened.

And sadly from what I hear it's exactly like the TV show.

[Kris Strife]

The new A-Team. God, I was so bored watching that movie. I predicted everything that happened.

And sadly from what I hear it's exactly like the TV show.

No its not. Mr. T even publicly denounced it for not being like the TV show.

[Mr. Scaly]

No its not. Mr. T even publicly denounced it for not being like the TV show.

Oh! Thank God. ^^

[Murkus]

The Box. God, that movie... two hours of my life I'll never get back. The plot was a jumbled mess of incomprehensible butcherings containing various bits of science fiction and conspiracy theories, mixed in with some mediocre acting and perhaps the outright worst ending I've ever seen.

[toasty]

No its not. Mr. T even publicly denounced it for not being like the TV show.

For the record, he hasn't seen the movie, so he can't really talk.

He was also talking more about the violence, and the outright, obvious, death of at least one person, versus say, the plot or the outrageous action scenes.

For the record, I liked that movie.

[Turcano]

The closest I've come to seeing a truly terrible movie (as opposed to seeing a recap or something) is when my old roommate put Wing Commander on when I was in the next room doing something else. God damn, that movie was stupid.

[Jimorian]

Highlander II: The Quickening and Highlander: The Source.

The original Highlander was very good, Highlander III: The Final Dimension was an OK return to form after 2, and Highlander: Endgame was a very good combination of the movie and TV franchises. But 2 and The Source are just abominations that not even fans can abide. :smallyuk:

[Ravens_cry]

The closest I've come to seeing a truly terrible movie (as opposed to seeing a recap or something) is when my old roommate put Wing Commander on when I was in the next room doing something else. God damn, that movie was stupid.
Heh, yeah, that was pretty darn bad. Which was too bad, as most of the Wing Commander games I've played were pretty good story wise as well as gameplay.

[Marnath]

Highlander II: The Quickening and Highlander: The Source.

The original Highlander was very good, Highlander III: The Final Dimension was an OK return to form after 2, and Highlander: Endgame was a very good combination of the movie and TV franchises. But 2 and The Source are just abominations that not even fans can abide. :smallyuk:

I'm a fan of all of these movies for the very reason that they're terrible: they make awesome comedy material if you can let yourself forget that they aren't supposed to be funny. Also, i don't really think the storylines are so contriv...*is shot*

[Brewdude]

I LIKED Pluto Nash.

The Spirit, though, was unwatchable. One of very few movies that I've walked out of.

[Gimliggamer]

Here's a place to discuss and list some of the worst movies you've ever seen. Not a place for just plain old bad, but the truly horrible.

Mine: AVH, Ultraviolet.
Eragon. Has to be one of the worst movies I've seen. Evar.

[Cespenar]

I thought Transformers was pretty bad.

Deja vu! Oh, and I agree, if that's not clear.We already had a thread like this, see, and said the same thing there too.

[Platinum_Mongoose]

Oh. Right. Hey. Eragon. Yeah. That.

[UnChosenOne]

Starship Troopers II was the second most horrible film that I've watched. The "honor" of being worst film that I've ever seen belongs to the Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus.

I agree with a startling number of those movies. I think a lot of them are so bad that they're good, though. I liked;
Anaconda
Billy Madison
Con Air
Critters 2-4
Dante's Peak
Deep Blue Sea
Die Harder
Godzilla (I assume we're talking about the one with Matthew Broderick)

Alien: Resurrection

Mimic
Relic, the
Species (though I agree about the sequels. Did you know that there was a 4th?)
Starship Troopers
So there. :smalltongue:

[Gorgondantess]

Hey, I liked Bad Taste! It's a comedy, and it's pretty bloody brilliant, if you ask me.:smallbiggrin:

[bluewind95]

Below is a handy list of 191 films that are so awful that they will lessen the quality of life of whomever watches them. Enjoy?
*snip*

But I liked some of those. :smallfrown:

Anyways.... for me... bad movies.... Ace Ventura and Austin Powers. And Final Destination. And Dr. T and the Women. And Notting Hill.

[Serpentine]

For example, The Core (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Core). The central framing premise places realistic science in a strong central role, and it's supposedly set in near-present-day Earth, but all the science they show in the movie is notable primarily for how egregiously WRONG it is. The premise itself is scientifically absurd, and throughout the movie they keep bringing up new bits of science only to get something new horribly wrong, yet there is no hint of irony in any of it so it seems all the dreadful idiocy is meant seriously.Ugh. There were one or two bits that were kind of cool (giant thunder eggs!), but there was one in particular... I had finished a class that included stuff about bird navigation not long before I saw it, so the whole bird thing really got to me. "Birds use the planet's magnetic field to navigate... so if that's disrupted they'll run into things!" No. They will end up in Norway instead of Alaska, sure, but once they're there they'll use their eyes to find their way around. You know, those things on their heads? Remember how birds aren't blind? That stuff?
The Box. God, that movie... two hours of my life I'll never get back. The plot was a jumbled mess of incomprehensible butcherings containing various bits of science fiction and conspiracy theories, mixed in with some mediocre acting and perhaps the outright worst ending I've ever seen.Ha! :smallbiggrin: My Boy fully agrees. It's a running joke, here, that that's his benchmark for bad movies.

I didn't like Highlander <.<

[Satyr]

Below is a handy list of 191 films that are so awful that they will lessen the quality of life of whomever watches them. Enjoy?

Class of Nuke'em High and Toxic Avenger are TROMA movies. They excell in being bad; actually I guess the whole point is to create movies which are so bad it's brilliant, and the special efects pretty much fail on purpose. You can either enjoy it, or hate it, but I guess it's a case of perspective and preferences.
Likewise, Blacula and Shaft (at least the original) are aweso me movies in their own right. And the Frighteners has at least this nice Danny Elfman soundtrack which helps to cover the fact that the movie doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or a horror movie. And Starship Troopers is not really a good movie, but way more fun to watch than the book is to read.

Now, there are many, many truly horrible movies, but most of them are only produced for TV or direct to DVD, so they are horrible yet obscure. What is truly terrible are really terrible movies which are succesful.

Stuff like the Pirates of the Carribean sequels. Anything involving Emmerich, Michael Bay or Zac Snyder. Or any kids movie featuring animals.

And then there are the movies which I just found disappointing. Eyes Wide Shut (even though the worst Kubrick movie is still better than the general average). Most of the Tarantino movies (which are just overhyped).

[Avilan the Grey]

I thought Transformers was pretty bad.

I found Transformers to be an adequate movie with very good special effects.

You are definably wrong. No, really, it's amazing. I've never seen a list so wrong. I Bolded the best examples of it, too. You know, to show you where you've 'Done it wrong,'

[VanBuren]

You are definably wrong. No, really, it's amazing. I've never seen a list so wrong. I Bolded the best examples of it, too. You know, to show you where you've 'Done it wrong,'

Epic Movie was one of the movies you bolded, so you clearly did something wrong.

[Mx.Silver]

Epic Movie was one of the movies you bolded, so you clearly did something wrong.

Something tremendously, spectacularly, unforgivably wrong.

[Extra_Crispy]

The Last Airbender. That movie is the only movie I have went to at a theater and was less than a half step from just walking out. It is truely in my top 5 worst ever. I have taken care of comatose patients (I am a nurse) with better acting, dialogue, and facial expression then the actors in that show.

Eragon was ok, not good but not horrible, untill I read the books. That movie was horrible.

I cant think of any more spicific theater released movies right now, but most of the made for syfy movies like "supergator vs giant croc" ect. Are horrible.

[doliest]

He didn't put Disaster movie on there. He's doing it wrong; Epic was at least kind of funny.

[Dr.Epic]

The Day the Earth Stood Still remake:smallannoyed:

[Mx.Silver]

He didn't put Disaster movie on there.
I suspect the list was originally compiled before it was released. My reasoning for this is the lack of the recent Transformers films despite the (entirely justified) presence of several other Michael Bay productions and also the conspicuous absence of X-Men Origins. This would also explain why it lacks Legally Blonde 2, despite the fact that said film is so utterly terrible it makes the original look like Young Frankenstein.

Epic was at least kind of funny.
No. No it wasn't.

No. No it wasn't.

Michael Bay films never belong on a 'So Bad It's Horrible' list. Not by a long shot. If it can bring people amusement, it's not on that list.

And as for being funny? Yes. Yes it was. It fails Epically as a parody, but generally succeeds as a comedy. It falls under the same category as the original Family Guy episodes, being a long string of low brow jokes held together by a loose excuse plot.

[Mx.Silver]

Michael Bay films never belong on a 'So Bad It's Horrible' list. Not by a long shot.
Oh really?


Doliest's crimes against good taste:

[...]
A Micheal Bay fan


Hmm...

Also, the fact it can derive amusement is too restricting, since you'd struggle to find ANYTHING that you can't derive some amusement out of, even if that amusement is just forcing other people to experience it (e.g. Brokencyde).



And as for being funny? Yes. Yes it was. It fails Epically as a parody, but generally succeeds as a comedy.

:smallfrown:

[Yora]

I watched Blade with my brother for the first time years after it was released, and everyone had always said that film was really awsome.
But at the end we just sat there and said "what was this crap?". It's a really, really bad movie.

[doliest]

My Sig is an acknowledgement they're unpopular. Except for Fatal. That's Lampshade Hanging that acknowledging it in that fashion makes me sound like a Troll.

Amusement in the intended sense, then. Michael Bay films succeed as Action Films. Good Action, great effects. Are they high art? No, but he's got the touch when it comes to entertainment. Or as another way of stating it,Citizen Kane is a better movie, but I'm more likely to put in Transformers when I need entertainment.

[Dogmantra]

The Day the Earth Stood Still remake:smallannoyed:

Oh this, just this.

My friends all agreed they made half a film. The most interesting bit of the film was guessing what class and level the boy was on WoW right at the beginning.

[Cespenar]

Michael Bay films never always belong on a 'So Bad It's Horrible' list. Not by a long shot. If it can bring people amusement brain hemorrhage, it's not on that list.

Fixed that for you. :smalltongue:

No, really.

[doliest]

Fixed that for you. :smalltongue:

No, really.

I don't get the hate. The Action is good, the Effects are amazing, and the stories are tolerable. What's the major contention?

[Cespenar]

Well, the 'hate', like everything else, comes from a matter of opinion.

To adapt your words, for example, my opinion is that the action is shoddy, the effects... don't really mean anything, and the stories are shallower than a children's pool.

[doliest]

Huh; I guess it's all up to opinions then.

[Cespenar]

Yeah, it's like that with pretty much every form of art.

[doliest]

Yeah, it's like that with pretty much every form of art.

True, but I hate when it comes down it that. It makes attempting to discuss quality pointless.

[Dr.Epic]

Michael Bay films never belong on a 'So Bad It's Horrible' list. Not by a long shot. If it can bring people amusement, it's not on that list.

A hyperactive, annoying teen running around with a prostitute while giant robots who are essentially Jar Jar battle over a cube doesn't qualify as bad?

[doliest]

A movie about a man who puts on a latex rubber batsuit to fight a loser in makeup who no one can kill for no apparent reason is good? I can cut out the majority of the film too, it's not hard.

Personally, don't get the hate for Star Trek: Generations. Still, you're 190 for 191. Good list. Er, bad list. Uh. Good list of badness. Yes.

[Reverent-One]

A movie about a man who puts on a latex rubber batsuit to fight a loser in makeup who no one can kill for no apparent reason is good? I can cut out the majority of the film too, it's not hard.

Except you actually cut out important parts of the movie, he just cut out the specials effects and the side characters.

[Serpentine]

I don't get the hate. The Action is good, the Effects are amazing, and the stories are tolerable. What's the major contention?The action is nauseating, the effects are very good, and the stories are rubbish. Generally considered. Does that answer your question?

And do not compare Dark Knight to Transformers, unless to say "Dark Knight is far and away better than Transformers". The differences include: the acting in Dark Knight is excellent, the action is excellent, the story is very good with some weak spots, the characterisation of the Joker is incredible and that of the other characters is pretty great.
So yeah, when it is surrounded by general excellence, a movie about a man who puts on a latex rubber batsuit to fight a loser in makeup who no one can kill for no apparent reason is good.

[Athaniar]

The closest I've come to seeing a truly terrible movie (as opposed to seeing a recap or something) is when my old roommate put Wing Commander on when I was in the next room doing something else. God damn, that movie was stupid.
And there is yet another movie I just couldn't keep watching. I must have intentionally forgotten about all such movies.


Below is a handy list of 191 films that are so awful that they will lessen the quality of life of whomever watches them. Enjoy?
Let's disagree have a look...


Die Harder
You dare put a Die Hard movie on this list? Shame on you!

Goldeneye
You dare put my favorite Bond movie on this list? You are now my mortal enemy.

Starship Troopers
One of my all-time favorite movies. Mortal enemy x2.

Street Fighter
I'm going to jump ahead to mortal enemy x4 for this.


And that is all. Enjoy the hunt!

[doliest]

The action isn't nasuating, it's rather well done IMHO. The fighting is spot on, and I'm just going to just go ahead and quote the song 'Bay's Touch' here-

'there were planes and explosions and that was enough!'

That's how I look at it, the film is entertaining. It's not high art, but then that's not why I or, apparently a large number of filmgoers went to see it and bought the DVD. It's very hard to spell this out, but, as Bay himself has said, he makes Popcorn flicks. They're not meant to be deep or masterpieces. They're eyecandy filled with fighting and car chases. I won't say it's better than Dark Knight, but I've popped in Transformers just as often for a watch.
.
..
Oh and personal pet peeve here, Ledger's Joker wasn't the best in my book. That honor will always go to Ceaser Romero.

[Serpentine]

I was referring to the ridiculous shakeycam that he's so fond of, which is both nauseating and makes it hard to see any of that action you're so fond of (and which, indeed, he does well).

[Reverent-One]

Eh, IMO the action was muddled in general and aside from a few moments not as impressive as it should have been given the budget.

I hate this answer (not you personally, just this justification). No one I know who bashes Bay's transformers movie was really expecting it to be "deep" or "high art", they just didn't want it not to suck. I love popcorn flicks, but Bay's Transformers doesn't even do that well. Too many incredibly annoying stupid characters, horrible plot, and a utter lack of the focus on what should be the main characters of the movie to focus on the aforementioned annoying ones.

[Dr.Epic]

A movie about a man who puts on a latex rubber batsuit to fight a loser in makeup who no one can kill for no apparent reason is good? I can cut out the majority of the film too, it's not hard.

A: It's not rubber. It's battle armor.
B: The Joker is a criminal mastermind as are many of Batman's foes. Batman is supposed to be intellectual, not just a bunch of idiots screaming "GO! GO! GO!" and then explosion.
C: It's a work of fiction. Some elements are a little made up but the whole is still in the realm of realistic possible. It's not all cheap jokes, one dimensional characters, and explosions.

[VanBuren]

And as for being funny? Yes. Yes it was. It fails Epically as a parody, but generally succeeds as a comedy. It falls under the same category as the original Family Guy episodes, being a long string of low brow jokes held together by a loose excuse plot.

That's odd. When something's funny I usually laugh. I just groaned at this.

[Dread Cthulhu]

Twilight and Eclipse are both predictably awful, not sure which was worse.

Batman Forever and Batman & Robin are also terrible, again not sure which is worse. Everyone rants about the latter, but I think a good deal of that is just hearsay. At least you can sort of see what they were going for with that one. Forever was just genuinely pathetic.

Batman and Robin had worse actors for the parts.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

The Movie That Must Not Be Named. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190374/)
Hey, I actually liked that one! Sure it wasn't Tolkien caliber fantasy, but when has your D&D campaign been an example of Tolkien caliber, or even R.A. Salvatore or Terry Goodkind caliber writing?

[Athaniar]

I think it had been better received if they hadn't named it Dungeons & Dragons. Sure, it was an OK fantasy movie, but it most definitely wasn't D&D. The sequel, however, was, and I liked it.

Also, your ordinary DM isn't a professional film writer.

Too many incredibly annoying stupid characters, horrible plot, and a utter lack of the focus on what should be the main characters of the movie to focus on the aforementioned annoying ones.

It's why I hate having to say it like that, actually. Here is where it drifts to taste; I didn't find anyone majorly annoying...except the fat kid involved with the hacking subplot. The plot was decent enough, it led up to the climax, which was satisfying in and of itself, and the switching between groups was something I found actually helped deal with my general hatred of Shia Lebouf.

[Mx.Silver]

I think it had been better received if they hadn't named it Dungeons & Dragons.
By the D&D crowd, maybe. By everyone else? No.

[The Glyphstone]

Also, your ordinary DM isn't a professional film writer.

The 2nd was about as D&D as a movie can get - the actors studied the 3.0 Player's Handbook alongside their scripts.

[Lord Loss]

I noticed that The Unborn was by Micheal Bay after I saw it. What a bad movie...

[Myatar_Panwar]

I went into 2012 expecting a fun disaster movie. It turned out to be 2 1/2 of the most boring hours of my life.

Scream is actually pretty good yo

[Syka]

Lord Loss, Bay produced The Unborn, not directed or wrote. Thankfully producing isn't really involved too heavily involved in the creative aspect, other than just making sure it's something that will (hopefully) sell. Blame the director for that one.


He can't really escape Transformers infamy, though...


(I'm actually a little sad, the guy who did direct Unborn wrote the screenplay for Dark Knight and co-created FlashForward, both of which I liked very much.)

[Mx.Silver]

He can't really escape Transformers infamy, though...

Or the Armageddon infamy, or the Pearl Harbour infamy...

[kpenguin]

Well, Pearl Harbory will always live in infamy. :smallwink:

[Makensha]

My history teacher and his friend history buffs went to Pearl Harbor expecting a big "guy" movie based off the trailers. They went away very sad.

Am I the only one who liked Alien Resurrection?

And my pick for worse is Op Jag. A movie so bad I don't remember the real name. Either that of Imbd never found it. The "fight scenes" amount to watching peoples hand in slow (not actual slow motion, they're just moving their hands slow). And then they set it up like they're going to make it into a trilogy or something... *shudder*:smalleek:

[Lyndworm]

Am I the only one who liked Alien Resurrection?
I liked it, but I'd be lying if I said it was any good. :smallbiggrin:

[mucat]

That movie was way too long and plainly uninteresting. My experience of it was worsened when someone threw a stink bomb during the 20 first minutes, so we had 2 hours of a boring story, and horrendous smell.
With all due respect, why did you stay? Or why did you go in the first place? I get a strong impression here that you could have figured out with about 20 seconds of research that it wasn't your favorite kind of movie.

[Zeta Kai]

My list was compiled a few years a go, & hasn't been updated in some time. I think X-Men 3: The Last Stand (which wasn't the Last, wasn't much of a Stand, & I'm not sure if it was really a The) was my most recent addition. Unfortunately, Hollywood still hasn't learned what their audience actually wants, so they are still turning out utter garbage at a surprising & disappointing rate.

And yes, I know some people like bad movies, myself included. But that doesn't make them good. If you like a film on my list, then you need to ask yourself why you like it. You might not be ready to face the answers.

[Reverent-One]

And yes, I know some people like bad movies, myself included. But that doesn't make them good. If you like a film on my list, then you need to ask yourself why you like it. You might not be ready to face the answers.

Thing is, you don't just call them bad movies, but movies that will lower the quality of life for anyone watching them, which is seemingly at odds with enjoying them.

[Ravens_cry]

Actually, Hollywood knows what it's audience wants.
We are just not that audience.
We are a small segment of the market that is hard to please, so why try?
Film is art, but it's also a business.

And the amazingly acclaimed Scream which is largely considered a Slasher classic?

[X2]

Avatar, Magical Mystery Tour, The Howling III.

[doliest]

Avatar
Last Airbender or the the Cameron flick?

[X2]

Cameron flick. Just terrible

[super dark33]

this island:earth

so bad that they are funny.

[Superglucose]

Alexander. I couldn't have dreamt of a more boring and uninteresting movie... I asked my dad if I could go to the car to get my game boy.

[Athaniar]

And yes, I know some people like bad movies, myself included. But that doesn't make them good. If you like a film on my list, then you need to ask yourself why you like it. You might not be ready to face the answers.

Let's check IMDb: Die Hard 2 has a score of 7.0, Goldeneye has 7.2, Starship Troopers has 7.1... So no, I don't think you speak for most viewers when you claim these films are "so awful that they will lessen the quality of life of whomever watches them". I'll accept that you don't like them, but you speak as if you expect the world to agree with you.

[Serpentine]

I liked it, but I'd be lying if I said it was any good. :smallbiggrin:About my opinion. I liked it fine, but that certainly doesn't mean I think it's one of the better in the series or in the upper eschelons of filmmaking
The Howling III.If that's the Marsupials one, I know one of the actors :smallfrown:

[Bayar]

Four pages of bad movies and no one mentioned Battlefield Earth yet ? I am disappointed.

Also: Street fighter, Super Mario Brothers, Doom, Dead or Alive, Mortal Kombat 2...shall I continue ?

[Lord Loss]

Wait... there's a movie of Mario?

[Serpentine]

There is indeed. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108255/) I recall enjoying it (though I haven't seen it for years), but certainly not as a film adaptation of the game.

[Cheesegear]

Soul Plane. My brain hurt.

Oh lord. I saw it a couple months ago on YouTube. I admit that it was a rather bad movie, especially with the goomba creation system and all, the acting was just moderate and the story was really shakey. All in all though? I'd call it a "so bad it's good" kind of movie. It was enjoyable, and if I recall right at the end it got a bit of a Ghostbusters feel too.

[super dark33]

There was a movie, i forgot its name but it was about ba'al
it was worse then this island:earth but better then the mummy 3

[Marnath]

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet due to being lazy and not reading that huge list of doliest's, but anything that has Adam Sandler in it is automatically not worth my $8 bucks, guarunteed.

[Cespenar]

I'd call So Bad It's Good on Super Mario Bros., SF and MK, but that may be because I only watched them as a kid.

[VanBuren]

My list was compiled a few years a go, & hasn't been updated in some time. I think X-Men 3: The Last Stand (which wasn't the Last, wasn't much of a Stand, & I'm not sure if it was really a The) was my most recent addition. Unfortunately, Hollywood still hasn't learned what their audience actually wants, so they are still turning out utter garbage at a surprising & disappointing rate.

And yes, I know some people like bad movies, myself included. But that doesn't make them good. If you like a film on my list, then you need to ask yourself why you like it. You might not be ready to face the answers.

I didn't even get halfway through it before I hit double-digits on movies that don't belong on that list. Hell, you have The Evil Dead as a bad movie.

I mean yeah, from what I've seen the majority of the movies on that list are awful, but you're tossing out perfectly good ones. (GoldenEye! You're calling GoldenEye a bad movie?)

[Tirian]

That struck me too, along with Legally Blonde.

Now, I'll confess that I didn't like Goldeneye. I thought that the movie was overly dogpiling on my buddy Pierce for being an outdated trope in "these modern times". Don't insult me for wanting to watch your movie, m'kay? But at least I know I'm an outlier with this opinion.

[Glad_Vampyre]

Ok, the worst horror movie I ever saw was, I think, called "Black Sheep". Anyways it was about a bunch of mutant sheep that would attack people. The people would then turn into sheep like creatures and attack others. It was the most HILARIOUS horror film I've ever seen. Seriously, a bunch a sheep going "baaaahhh" then attacking people really isn't that out of the ordinary if you live in an area ( like me) where you have a lot of sheep encounters. They really aren't warm and cuddley.

[Glad_Vampyre]

Yes, X-Men Origins was horrible: bad plot, they destroyed the concept of Deadpool, horrible CGI. bad characters, and mostly it was just a way to show Wolverine being bad ass (which is what I thought the first three films did).

Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: bad acting, bad plot, bad special effects, and Jet Li, a skilled martial artist only gets like two scenes where he breaks out the ass whooping.

With X-Men Origins: Wolverine; that was bad yes. But I honestly like that movie just for Gambet. Come on he was awesome. And so was Wolverines' brother. Even if he was evil.

[Dr.Epic]

Lol. Nothing could have saved it. Say do you guys know if it was the same director as the one that did the X:men 1-3? Because if not they should've called that guy in. He did pretty good. Also it was like watching the twilight movies, if you don't know the story behind it you wouldn't get it. I hadn't read the comics before and i was completely lost.

Oh God, that reminded me that I saw Super Mario Brothers. Thanks for opening that old wound.

[The Succubus]

Worst film? Hmmm...tough call. Transformers (also known as American Pie with robots) was a blasphemy on the original awesome cartoon series and is worthy of scorn. House of Wax was an impulse by and confirmed my beliefs in Ms Hilton's acting talent, or lack thereof.

However, when I die and go to Heck, there will only be one film on infinite repeat:

The Sixth Sense

This film fills my inner critic with nausea and revulsion, from its talentless cast, through it's predictable plot twist and the sentimentality, which was sacchrine enough to put a diabetic on life support. This film casts a weird spell over most other people but I am not fooled, I see this over-rated garbage for the festering pile it truly is.

[Serpentine]

Bah. I loved Sixth Sense. However, it does get incredibly dull when you have to watch it over and over again for school :smallsigh:

It wasn't. Moreover, Bryan Singer only directed the first 2 films, which is one of the underlying reasons the 3rd one sucked as much as it did.

Wait, you liked that character? What? How? His power was he was a power source for any given device powered by electricity. What kind of obscure mutant power is that? Also, how is that being powerful for a mutant? I don't really see him being able to stand up to too many foes. Sabertooth killed him without any trouble.

[Asta Kask]

Highlander II: The Quickening and Highlander: The Source.

The original Highlander was very good, Highlander III: The Final Dimension was an OK return to form after 2, and Highlander: Endgame was a very good combination of the movie and TV franchises. But 2 and The Source are just abominations that not even fans can abide. :smallyuk:

You are wrong. There weren't any sequels to Highlander. Or an adaptation for TV. They thought about it, but decided against it.

That's my story and I'll stick to it.

It's better then Last Sacrifice. At least the "action" makes itself try it's hardest for being realistic.

Also, how is that being powerful for a mutant? I don't really see him being able to stand up to too many foes. Sabertooth killed him without any trouble.

Why should his power matter at all in terms of whether or not someone enjoys his character, unless it completely and utterly defines his character? I suppose you could argue that, in this case, it did because he had so little screen time and never really did anything, but I would not agree. Also, Dominic Monaghan can do no wrong. I knew I was going to hate Wolverine as soon as he died... and that was pretty early on. Only Liev Schrieber kept me in my seat.

For stupid powers, that sea-urchin dude from X3 ranks up there with the best of them. "Let me hug you and if you're skinny enough I'll be able to kill you!"

Also, Independence Day is a bad movie? High art it ain't, but bad? Never. It was a very adequately put together film, regardless of whether you personally enjoyed it or not (because USA saves the world from aliens isn't everyones' thing).

No no what i meant was that the guy dies at the beginning and still got more face time than Gambit in the entire movie. I thought it was stupid for an awesome mutant like Gambit to not have hardly any lines in the movie. And yes i thought it was hilarious when that guy was creamed by Sabertooth.:smallbiggrin:

[BridgeCity]

For me, it is any film with Will Ferrel as a central character. His humour is boring, bland, not witty in the slightest, obvious and over done. What makes this worse is that he has been called the greatest comedian alive by American media. It would be pathetic if he really was the best comedian that country had to offer.


it was so bad it was hilarious.....

Black Sheep was supposed to be a comedy, so going by your reaction it worked exactly as it was supposed to.

I'm vaguely familiar with the old Xbox game, never knew they made a movie out of it though.

I don't generally put myself through bad movies and some of the ones listed here sound like real stinkers. Glad to have missed 'em.

For me, "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Idiocracy" are the two worst movies ever. I walked out the cinema for the former and volunteered to fetch dinner rather than order it just for a reason to leave the latter.

Even better, our church once decided Star Trek 5 was a good example of depictions of God in science fiction and decided to accompany it with clips from the movie. That was an...interesting Sunday School class. Then again, that was generally an interesting church.

6 pages, and Crossroads hasn't been mentioned? Or was everyone repressing that one so hard that nobody could summon the ghastly memories? It was so bad that even the Rifftrax wasn't enough to make it enjoyable.

I borrowed Golden Compass from the local library, and was so bored I fell asleep halfway through it. I didn't bother to try watching it again before I just took it back. Part of that may be that I dislike pretty much every movie I've ever seen in which a child has the lead role - they just haven't developed their talent enough for the big screen yet.

Think all the rest of the ones on my list have already been mentioned. PocahontasAvatar, 2012, Twilight and its sequel (and I have no doubt that the rest of the series will be similarly awful), the Transformers movies (aside from the animated one from the 80s, which was awesome), the Final Destination movies, Street Fighter Alpha... There are too many to remember them all right now.

It's a pretty dumb power when you think about it. If he could like shot bolts of electricity then that be one thing, but his power is he can turn on electronics with no power source. How does one even get that power? In a society when electronically powered devices haven't even been created how would we even be able to know he's a mutant? All the other mutant's powers are practical no matter what time in history they could have been in.

And as far as their actual character, (a) he was bland and didn't really stand out (though no one really did in that movie) and (b) in a superhero action movie powers do kind of matter. Is the audience really supposed to think this guy would be a threat for any other mutant or even a regular human for that matter?

[Innis Cabal]

How has Gerry not been mentioned up to this point. Two hours of bad audio (When the characters even decide to talk. And it's rare, but you'll be thankful after a few lines), no pacing (The moving dosn't crawl, it stagnates), a strange ability to leap from Arizona to California to the Salt Flats of Utah in a days stretch, and no message. No nothing. The movie was literally so bleak you'd have been better looking at a wall for two hours.

Not Another Teen Movie. It's the only movie I ever walked out on in the theater.

He couldn't just turn them on, he could control them as well. As he did when he controlled the elevator at the start of the movie. That is a hell of a power, just using it on Cash Points could make you rich. ( I presume he didn't use it to its fullest because he was hiding from his old employers).

Part of that may be that I dislike pretty much every movie I've ever seen in which a child has the lead role - they just haven't developed their talent enough for the big screen yet.

I did utterly abhor that film, although mostly because it was a gutted corpse of the book, which I love. I know that film adaptations have to be different to the books (and there are a number that I like) but this was appalling. It removed everything serious and cool from the book (except the armoured bears) and made it unbearably infantile.

As regards child actors though, the girl playing Lyra was totally wrong for the part I think, but I have seen child actors do very good jobs in films from time to time. Paper Moon is the main example that comes to mind.

My main contribution to the thread is the monstrosity that is Napoleon Dynamite. I am astonished it hasn't been mentioned, as I know plenty of people who despise it IRL. It appears to have no plot, the characters are hugely annoying and spend their screen time doing nothing whilst being annoying simultaneously. It brought me physical pain to watch. The worst thing was that it was in an end-of-term school lesson, where the teacher asked someone to bring in a film, which meant that I COULD NOT LEAVE.

I am aware of a minority of people that cultishly admires this film, however. I wonder if one will pop out of the woodwork...

The Hours.

My sister got it a few days ago because it looked strange and we watched it.

This was not a film. There was no story. It was an exercise in acting. Even that wasn't good.

It. Was. Agonizing.

Not only did the story make no sense, but they tried to make three stories all together. They tied in... haphazardly and loosely. Nothing was explained through any of it.

Why was everyone bisexual or gay? Every main character just start tonguing it out with the others. Why? WE DON'T KNOW!

Sisters were smooching out of the blue. Neighbors just decided to lock lips that until that moment had never done such in their lives. A main character just latched on to another and then afterwards they act like nothing was unusual.

It managed to be depressing, strange, inexplicable, and a bit creepy while also being UTTERLY BORING.

It was the film version of some 'up and coming artist' who gets rave reviews for breaking a toilet with a sledgehammer and duct taping a photo of himself as a child next to a jar holding his own appendix.

It is art for the sake of art while not being art at all.

Stop it, Hollywood. Just stop it.


Edit: Oh, wow. I just found the perfect review of this movie on IMDB. If you don't want to read all this, this is the best part:

"Awful, phony, wannabe-artsy, pseudo-intellectual, piece of pretentious Hollywood garbage."
When first I saw the posters for the movie THE HOURS, I said that Nicole Kidman will be nominated for several awards on the basis of her accent and putting on a fake nose. Sometimes it sucks to be right.

The movie centers around three self-indulgent, spoiled, emotionally unstable women who sigh every three to four minutes while pondering suicide. Cheery, huh? Why the movie was not called THE SIGHING, or HEY LOOK AT MY FAKE NOSE AND IGNORE MY BAD ACTING, or simply, JUST KILL YOURSELF ALREADY, I can only imagine had to do with the 13 hour plus running time.

First, a note about the music. The film is scored by minimalist composer, Phillip Glass. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy listening to the same three notes played over and over again on a synthesizer. I find it relaxing, when at home, to put on a Phillip Glass CD and stare into the barrel of a loaded gun while pondering the meaninglessness of existence. However, during the movie I kept wondering when one of the characters was going to say, open a closet door, and find Phillip Glass playing the organ and bludgeon him to death with her shoe. Unfortunately, it never happened. Instead these poor 3 women were forced to have every moment of their lives accompanied by the same relentless repetition of notes. Frankly, I can't blame them for wanting to kill themselves. Anything to make the music stop.

The only way to have a scene between Merryl Streep and Richard Harris not work, would be to have a bad script. Not just a bad script, but a truly awful, phony, wannabe-artsy, pseudo-intellectual, piece of pretentious Hollywood garbage. The theme of the movie, I think, was `Sometimes people have to die in order that other people can appreciate their lives'. The only reason I know that is that Nicole Kidman, I mean, Virginia Wolfe, said that. Talk about pasted on. THE PIANIST, on the other hand, illustrated its themes without ever having to come out and say them. And Adrien Brody's nose is real.

In summary, THE HOURS, is a story about 3 bourgeois women, living in different time-frames, who are in good health and have everything they could possibly want or need. However, because `happiness' is impermanent and momentary, they become depressed and ruin it for everyone else. This movie is clearly the work of a sadist. If you or someone you love are considering seeing this movie, please, don't do it. It may not seem like it at the time, but there are always other options.

The worst thing was that it was in an end-of-term school lesson, where the teacher asked someone to bring in a film, which meant that I COULD NOT LEAVE.

I am aware of a minority of people that cultishly admires this film, however. I wonder if one will pop out of the woodwork...

I enjoyed. I thought it was funny.

[Sneak]

OHMYGOD.

VT, I completely agree about The Hours. We only watched about an hour of it in my modern lit class last year, but even that was enough to make me seriously contemplate offing myself Virginia Woolf-style.

[StreetPizza]

The Last Airbender. Yuck. Just yuck.

I went into the theater expecting great things, and for the first few seconds, everything was fine. Then the characters came in. For the most part, the characters had about as much by the way of acting skills as did an ensemble of wooden blocks. Sokka, or Soh-ka, as everyone called him for no good reason, was an especially disappointing disappointment. To me, he was easily one of the franchise's most colorful characters, but in the movie, he was the wood-blockiest of them all, a true wooden block among wooden blocks like Katara and "Ong".

I don't want to pin all of the blame on the people involved, though. That's just where most of the blame's going. The rest of it has the honor of being directed at the movie's very concept: an adaptation-retelling. The process alone cripples character development due to the massive infodump required to cram the 400-minute season's most pertinent details into 90 minutes of movie. A better idea would have been to dump the timeframe laid down by the TV series altogether and worldbuild like Star Wars and its numerous Expanded Universe novels and whatnot or focus on a single event like John Woo's Red Cliff; the historical period in which the movie is set lasted nearly a hundred years, far too long to compress into a single movie, so what did John Woo do? Simple. He based the entire movie around what was arguably the most climactic, famous, and epic battle in the era.

Now, why couldn't The Last Airbender's brainstorming team wrap their heads around ideas like those?

[tehjohnli]

Lawrence of Arabia. It's one of them old movies that we had to watch for world history, but it was so bad. Four hours or people walking through a desert. I honestly couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of it at a time without falling asleep.

[TheLaughingMan]

[Aiani]

Not Another Teen Movie. It's the only movie I ever walked out on in the theater.

Amazingly, I don't believe that was a Seltzer-and-Friedberg. Glad I never saw any of their stuff, if they can steal the spotlight of utter crapitude from Not Another Teen Movie.

Man I had forgotten about this movie and now I remember it. :smallyuk: That was a really bad movie.

Also, U Turn, what a stupid movie. I just don't enjoy movies where the characters are made to suffer for the entire film and then there was some incest thrown in just to be gross I guess. Awful movie.

[Lord Loss]

I quite like the Cube series, but a lot of people I know seem to utterly hate the movies. I've no Idea why, though... (Anyone care to enlighten me?)...

[The Yeti]

Transformers 2.

Worst movie ever.

Even worse than the movie that most not be named.

[Dr.Epic]

Any movie with Jack Black in it is a bad movie. Yes, even High Fidelity. He manages to crap that one up too.

King Kong


Transformers 2.

Worst movie ever.

Even worse than the movie that most not be named.

I finally saw that and I have to agree. Yes. Man, you know, I'm the type of person who would sit through an entire movie in theatres regardless of how bad it was but I might have had to walk out on this awful excuse for a film.

The plot? Don't get me started. A romantic subplot that occupied too much screen time and was annoying and cliche. The characters: either annoying, tired stereotypes or bland and boring beyond all belief. Not to mention the film length. Anything that's well over 2 hours better have the type of quality as one of the LotR movies or the Dark Knight.

[VanBuren]

King Kong

I dunno. If he didn't like High Fidelity...

[super dark33]

there was an old movie that was about radioactive radiation thingy that caused small dogs to grow. you can see the dogs looking at the owners (not on the scene, they arnt trained to be in a movie). you see him chew biscuits in shape of people. guess what movie type it is

[Angrist]

I hate, hate, hated "No Country for Old Men," I love the Coen brothers, but what were they thinking with this snoozefest.

[VanBuren]

My parents hated it. i absolutley loved it. It depends on the person i guess.

[The Succubus]

The Last Airbender. Yuck. Just yuck.

....

Now, why couldn't The Last Airbender's brainstorming team wrap their heads around ideas like those?

Your answer sir: Directed by M Night Shyalaman. Not content with proving himself spectacularly incompetant at directing supernatural dramas(horrors?Sci-fis?Family films?), it would appear he can also f*** up an action film that by rights, should have been a cakewalk.

[comicshorse]

I hate, hate, hated "No Country for Old Men," I love the Coen brothers, but what were they thinking with this snoozefest.

Sorry, loved that movie

[Popertop]

Hardbodies 2.

Don't really know what was so great about Hardbodies that warranted a sequel, but there it is.

Typical bad '80s movie, I really have no words that will do justice to how bad it truly is.

[Axinian]

Babel. It was a stupid movie with a stupid plot involving stupid people doing stupid things* because they're stupid, all presented like the stupid audience is supposed to think that the stupid things happening on screen are tragic and meaningful. So of course, the stupid academy puts it up for several stupid awards. Did I mention it was stupid?

*Also the husband makes out with his wife while helping her pee. WTF!?!?!?!


I like humanity, really, so it takes some really bad stuff to make me lose faith in it. Things like Twilight and Babel are among them.

Also, I'm still not sure how I feel about No Country For Old Men. I liked it up until the ending, which was terrible. So I guess the movie is bad, because if the ending is bad, the rest of the experience in rendered worthless.

EDIT: Just realized that this clip perfectly summarizes my feeling about Babel.

What was terrible about the ending?

As for Truly Bad, I question a number of movies mentioned so far. The only movies I have seen that I consider Truly Bad are typically SciFi Channel movie level movies, or Uwe Boll's "contributions" to cinema. Then again I must get some level of entertainment out of them because I keep watching them.

For some of what I consider Truly Bad:
-Battlefield Earth (the old stand by)
-Most (if not all) of the movies on MST3K
-Uwe Boll's "movies" (though I will say that I thought his Vietnam movie didn't seem as awful as his others so far)
-The average SciFi Channel movie
-Troll 2
-Gene Generation

Some bad, but I find somewhat entertaining somehow:
-Street Fighter
-The non-popular Alien and Predator (and AvP) movies (I like them all)
-Death Race 2000
-Escape From LA
-Too many horror movies to mention

[Trazoi]

I quite like the Cube series, but a lot of people I know seem to utterly hate the movies. I've no Idea why, though... (Anyone care to enlighten me?)...
I've only seen Cube, and while I don't hate it I didn't particularly like it. It felt too contrived in a way that felt vaguely pretentious, and (avoiding spoilers) the end didn't make sense given the situation. It wasn't uberbad, but it's not a movie I care to see again.

[Serpentine]

I've only seen half of Cube. My dad was watching it once. I saw the first few minutes, then left and just came by every now and then for a couple of minutes at a time. So I saw:Guy getting diced, super-survivalist-man getting acid to the face, some of the characters coming together, the discovery that the idiot was a savant, part of the black cop's reveal and crazy, the discovery about the outside of the cube, the ending (cheap!).So yeah. What I saw of it was an effective horror movie (hey, it scared the bajeebus out of 13ish-year-old me).

[Dvandemon]

Nacho Libre and The Shaft. First one was probably self-explanatory and the second... just the idea of a killer elevator that doesn't get shut down baffles me angrily. I mean, it's not like it could really move around and kill you (although if you're on roller skates, god help you), the fact that the express elevator has a string of "accidents" and isn't shut down for maitenance. Then the there was the explanation for how it became evil, so a chip based on brain tissue can survive without nutrients and somehow animate the mundane cables? Is it haunted too!? How could some random building in the city get something like that and why!? It makes no sense! Those chips were apparently designed for supercomputer but I guess elevators are just as good

[Xyk]

I thought Transformers was pretty bad.

But it had giant robots, explosions, AND MEGAN FOX! If that isn't enough to make a good movie, I don't know what is. :smalltongue:

My least favorite movie ever was definitely Epic Movie. It's stupid sequels were not much better. I never saw Meet the Spartans and never will. Vampires Suck looks at least as terrible.

*pokes hand up* While I don't admire the film, as it were, I find a certain charm to it. Also, it has a lot of subtle easter eggs for those of my religion.

Now, the WORSE movie I have ever seen was Boxing Helena. NO pacing, NO development, the loosest figment of plot, and things just happened for no reason. Snarking couldn't even make this film enjoyable. :smallyuk:

I watched part of that one (I think. I mean... it was about the killer elevator, but since it was dubbed in Spanish and the title translated, I can't be 100% sure) when I was like 4 or 5. I was unable to get into an elevator without panicking for.... quite a few years after that. Something about a bloody bodyless head on the top of an elevator was... ugh.

[Serpentine]

Probably shouldn't tell you that it's really happened, then.

[Lord Loss]

I am never going in an elevator again.

I already have a dealthy fear of Elevators and rather take the stairs than walk into one of those (I manage to tolerate em when I'm with friends/family, though). With that thrown in...

Thanks, Serp. :smallannoyed:

[Lord Loss]

Serp, just so you know, I had to ride elevators ALL DAY YESTERDAY TO GET AROUND A HOSPITAL, which I went to a few hours after reading your article. I ended up running up eight flights of stairs at one point instead.

:smallfrown:. Is was scary.

[Serpentine]

I always jump quickly on and off. Doesn't help that the staff one in the uni library is ancient as Hell...

[thompur]

I snuck in to see Pluto Nash after seeing The 13th Warrior.
I seriously considered demanding a refund for a film I didn't pay for, plus the popcorn. I was pissed that they didn't stop me from sneaking in. If I actually beleived in a supreme being, I might think I was being punished for sneaking in.
I lost two hours of my life to that crap. I could have gone home and used my do it yourself root canal kit. I could have eaten a shards of glass popcicle. I could have watched a Uwe Boll film. Any of which would have been a better use of my time.

There are several on the list with which I disagree. I also note that you did not include Pluto Nash. I infer from this that you didnot see Pluto Nash.
I envy you.

[Athaniar]

What's so bad about it? I thought it was a decent waste of time.

(And that list is incredibly odd anyway)

[Dr.Epic]

50 First Dates

Aside from the fact it's a romantic comedy with Adam Sandler (as if that wasn't enough to make it unbearable) the love interest has a condition in which she continuously forgets the events of the past day making her believe it's always this one date in history. So we got bad Adam Sandler romantic comedy + an impossible medical condition that makes it impossible to live a normal life yet somehow she dates someone and to top it off, the couple gets married, has a child, and I think sail around the world. The stress from waking up each morning and discovering this huge change has to reduce that person's life expectancy by many years,

[Serpentine]

Actually, I liked that more than I expected to (same for Legally Blonde). Also her condition, while fictitious, isn't as impossible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia) as you think. And the ending was about as sensicle and complete as such a movie could be (though I'd imagine there would be a notable lack of mirrors on that boat...).

[Dr.Epic]

What bugged me the most was the ending. How did they possibly get married? That's what angers me most about romantic comedies: the way the main character and their love interest ALWAYS get together, no matter what the situation. Mental condition that makes them forget who you are and what happened the last day? Doesn't matter. That's why films like Clerks and Chasing Amy with realistic romances and the guy doesn't always get the girl stories are far more entertaining.

[Serpentine]

But it did matter, that was kinda the whole point of the movie :smallconfused:

which makes it your typical chick flick, which many people will still watch without any problems.

I also enjoy a realistic storyline, so I can understand where you are coming from. But I am also a hopeless romantic and an optimist, so I always want them to end up together.

Still, it's almost like this cruel joke you play on this girl everyday: she has to find out she's married to a guy she never met and has a child (imagine how she felt waking up and discovering she was pregnant). In terms of stretching the limits of reality to encompass romance, it's too much for me.

[aberratio ictus]

The spirit and the happening.

[pendell]

Starship Troopers.

It's a passable action movie if you come to it fresh. If you're a lifelong Heinlein fan like me, it's a travesty. Where's the power armor suits, dammit?

Speaking of Heinlein, there was another truly awful movie made of another novel of his called The Puppet Masters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Puppet_Masters_(film)) The screenwriter of the film explains WHY it is just so awful (http://www.wordplayer.com/columns/wp15.Building.the.Bomb.html)

Y'know, what really breaks my heart is that every one of those movies -- every one -- took millions of dollars to make. Cameramen, screenwriters, grips, actors, makeup artists busted their butts for months on end. They went to bizarre filming locations. They got up at 4 AM. They spent 2 or 4 hours getting into makeup and costume. Some had to go on massive diets so their bodies could fit the hard -- either building up or slimming down.

Man-years of effort and millions of dollars by talented people to produce dreck. Utter, utter, dreck. Hundred and hundreds of films of dreck.

Money quote from the column above:



I've come to believe that making a film is like a massive version of throwing a dinner party -- you invite a lot of people and hope that it turns out good, but you can't really control it. And after everyone has left and you've got this big mess, you wonder if all the work was worth it, why you went to all the trouble.


One reason I watch so much youtube these days. Same amount of dreck for much lower production cost.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

Re. Megan Fox and Kristen Stewart
Megan Fox makes me wanna slap her. I'm like, 'Great, you got a body, now stop touching yourself'. Girls full of themselves = not getting a thing from me but the flat of my hand.

Kristen Stewart... I don't understand at all. She doesn't even have a body, no good looks, and her voice grates like nails. Even outside of her sparkly role she doesn't seem to have the faintest hint of personality.


Gimme Bryce Dallas Howard for personality and looks, and Christina Hendriks for the body any day.

[Zom B]

Absolute worst movie I've ever seen was White Noise. I wanted to see it because I was fairly interested in EVP at the time, which is how I was able to mentally scream at the screen, "It doesn't work like that! You can't just watch TV static until something happens! And you can't just record silence and listen to it at high volume! You have to amplify inaudible frequencies to be audible and such, people."

There's some movies I thought were going to be bad based on obvious budget issues that ended up being really well-done and really enjoyable. This one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gamers:_Dorkness_Rising), for instance.

Then there's foreign movies I thought would just be hilarious to watch that turned out to be enjoyable. Like this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vampire_Effect).

Spice World (they were forced to watch it, it was truly horrid and painful)
and George Clooney batman (Batsuit with nipples, that was the main problem).

Any 10 more you can add to this list will be "appreciated".

[Zom B]

Make sure to include Hackers in that list. When having a bad movie festival, you don't want stuff that's unwatchably bad, just badly written. The idea that you can fly around in a server mainframe like it's a virtual city and zap viruses like enemy planes is laughable.

Yeah, that's why I can't recommend those that come to mind. They are pretty unwatchable.

Gimme Bryce Dallas Howard for personality and looks, and Christina Hendriks for the body any day.I refuse to accept that Megan Fox is hot. I'm not even convinced she's human, she might just be some sort of Japanese-made sex robot. She has about all the subtlety of a tank. With giant lazers. Piloted by a bear with an eyepatch. Watching her in a movie is like watching amateur porn made by narcissists who think slutty and attractive are the same thing.

Kristen Stewart I like, though. I think she's cute, and I think she's just more mild mannered than a lot of actresses. I've read a few interviews with her, and she seems like a likable person.

[Yora]

Watch hacker fights in VR in Ghost in the Shell. They seem pretty realistic. It's mostly a lot of progress bars and warning pop-ups. :smallbiggrin:

[Drakevarg]

For me, the worst movie I've ever put up with was Tristan + Isolde. Literally the only movie I've ever been unable to sit through. It was like watching dominos fall in slow motion, only every single domino is a mind-bogglingly stupid idea. The worst part is, I actually like most of the actors in that film. But GOD was the basic premise stupid.

As a side note, I am an absolutely MASSIVE G-Fan, and I can honestly say I would've liked the 1998 American Godzilla film if they simply hadn't had the audacity to call that overgrown iguana Godzilla. It was an enjoyable, if stupid, monster movie, and the French guy was absolutely awesome.

[Zom B]

Yeah, that's why I can't recommend those that come to mind. They are pretty unwatchable.

Don't watch Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings, in other words.

[Yora]

While it certainly isn't a good film when taken as a whole, there are some thing it does very well. Just don't expect too much from it and concentrate entirely on the visuals and the atmosphere.

And yeah I find Megan Fox strangely unappealing, all the bits should fit together to make beautiful but I'm always reminded of Lovecraft's phrase of something 'being subtly loathsome"
