Some movies are great, some not so great, and some are just horrible.

Avatar. Other than the gimmick of the 3D experience, which was good, but gave me a cracking headache, it is the old worn out story of evil colonists ravaging the place of natural resources and making the natives suffer!
The movie version of the musical 'Cats', hands down.
I love the musical and was willing to give it a chance, but the thing that was most jarring for me and put me off it (apart from a couple of the actors) was the absolute dogs breakfast they made over the relative scale of props/sets to the “cats”. There was no continuity of scale…
any percy jackson movie. Don’t even bother watching it if you have read the books, even if you didn’t like the books, the movie will still infuriate you
Emoji movie
The latest I've watched that really suck: Wonder Woman 1984 (great cast, great content source, big budget, terrible movie) and Fast & Furious 9 (Space?? Really??)
The Blair Witch Project. Two hours of my life I will never get back.
Pulp fiction
Don't get why people rave over this film. There's the very disturbing male rape scene. Some bloke is tied up and being raped by two blokes when some other bloke walks in see's what is happening and then walks away WTF!
The drugs the suitcase that you never find out what is in it. Worse film I've ever had the misfortune of watching.
Hey, no downvoting a very legit opinion on a film, please. Be kind. I loathed this film for similar reasons.
There was this one movie I regret watching called "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale". Yes, that's the full name of the movie.
There are several reasons why this film is so bad, but I'll tell you why I saw it first. Back when Roger's (very similar to Blockbuster, but only limited to Canada) was still doing movie rentals, my parents would let us rent a movie every month, and I happened to pick this one because the cover looked very much like Lord of the Rings (probably a good deceptive marketing ploy by the studio). Then, it had a good (on paper) cast, including Jason Statham, Ron Perlman, John Rhys-Davies, Ray Liotta (RIP), and Burt Reynolds (RIP).
Now, onto why this movie is so bad;
1: Uwe Boll directed it. You movie buffs will know that name very well.
2: It was adapted from a video game series called Dungeon Siege... and this was before films like Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog broke the stigma of video game movies being bad to some degree, or The Last of Us (season 1) showing us that cinematic adaptations of video games can be amazing.
3: A very poor script, with wooden acting and fight choreography in a medieval "epic".
4: Terrible casting. The aforementioned actors are good/great in their own rights, but given bad roles (like Ray Liotta as a cartoonish sorcerer, or Burt Reynolds as a king/father of Jason Statham's character.
5: Bad CGI.
6: It feels like a very bad rip off of Lord of the Rings, and it was very late to the party of the Lord of the Rings trend (Return of the King came out in 2003, In the Name of the King came out in 2007).
Now, there is a reason why this director made this film so terribly, and that has to do with German tax laws. If a film flops, like this one did so hard grossing only $13.1 million on a budget of $60 million, then it can be written off as a tax write-off.
The worst thing about this film? It somehow spawned two "sequels", and one of them managed to get Dolph Lundgren in it... and believe me when I say that these two sequels somehow are worse than the first one.
"Manos, the Hands of Fate." The MST3K guys featured it on their spectacular show, even they had trouble riffing on it. The evil Dr. Clayton Forrester and TV's Frank actually apologized to Joel and his crew about how awful the film was!
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. My hopes were so high, because, Star Wars. I HATED just about every minute of it. Thanks a lot, George. Lucas.
Would you be ok with it if we started a petition to have jarjar deleted?
Probably "Ready Player One".
The plot is all I feel the place, the characters are flat and I just couldn't connect with any of them.
I'm sorry if you like the movie; I just didn't enjoy it. I couldn't understand what the point was underneath all the CGI. Is it saying that playing too much is bad for you? Is it promoting escapism? I have no clue. I normally enjoy movies like this so it was pretty disappointing.
I never watched the movie. I did try to read the book, but it was so derivative and the characters were so flat and boring I couldn't get through it. It reads like it was written by a Gen X nerd (which I am one) never grew up, then he read Snow Crash, and then wrote down the wet dream he had that night.
Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad.
Not much story, unfunny humour, bad character writing and just mindless violence. I mean there are bad movies that are good because they are kinda bad, but not this franchise
I hate movies and almost never watch them but my friends made me watch "Poltergay" at halloween a few years ago. basically, a couple move in a house that used to be a gay bar and was destroyed by a fire. 5 gay (stereotypical af) ghosts haunt the place and the couple tries to get rid of them. i don't remember much of it but it was definitely an experience. not a good one per see but an experience.
Probably any of the weird ones my brother made me watch, but particularly Eraserhead
Every superhero movie ... I don't like them!
Except Deadpool! ;)
Battlefield Earth - no explanation needed
I think this may be the winner in my mind. This movie was so horrifically stupid but in a way that it couldn't be remotely entertaining.
Tie between "Mars Attacks" and "World War Z". Seriously, the infamous film "Plan 9 from Outer Space" at least had camp value.
The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl! My kids wanted to watch it ALL the time, and it is truly, truly awful!!
It is a terrible movie. It's also filled with childhood nostalgia for me. I love it
My partner and I have very different tastes in films, so any of the "everyone shouts for an hour, then the CGI takes over for an hour of guns and explosions" films. Anything with bald, gruff men in it (Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Rock) is vast swathes of my life I'm not getting back, and all utterly interchangeable.
As a bald gruff man, I take umbrage. But yeah, I don't like those movies.
You can't top this. Attack of the killer tomatoes. The whole way through I was confused (a) Is this serious? (b) if it is not serious, why is it not funny? (c) Why are the props so cheap and obviously fake? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_of_the_Killer_Tomatoes and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080391/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ...I have no idea how it gets 4.6 on IMDB, it should get 1 or 0, maybe -1. Terrible.
I love the 1970’s original version. Mars Attacks stole the ending, btw
I, Frankenstein. sooo bad
I've never heard of this, but I'm picturing a cross between Isaac Asimov and Mary Shelly, and rather enjoying the concept.
The worst movie I have seen is the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie. I hated it in general but it made the cringe scenes in the series seem even cringier. Also when talking to people who haven't seen the series and they LIKED the movie, I just hated it even more.
Meet the Spartans. The previews made it seem like it was going to be funny, and I like spoof movies thanks to Mel Brooks, but Meet the Spartans just felt like a really bad 2hr gay joke. The only saving Grace was that I was wirkingvat a movie theater at the time, so I saw it free and didn't waste money on it.
But come on, it had Carmen Electra! And Kevin Sorbo! That must make it a classic. (Please note: Heavy sarcasm.)
Wonder Woman 1984
by far the worst movie i have ever watched. -3/10 😒
It wasn't good at all. It just didn't make sense, I couldn't suspend my disbelief in any of the characters motivations. It was just really bad writing.
The Happening. Good cast (Mark Wahlberg, Zoe Deschanel, John Leguizamo) in a losing fight against possibly the worst script ever, containing such lines as "All we have to do is outrun the wind!"
It also appears that none of the actors were told what kind of movie they were in, and just had to guess.
Finally, M. Night Shyamalan appears to think that eating tiramisu is equivalent to cheating. That must have been one hell of a dessert.
While I love a couple of his earlier films (way earlier), I watched the Happening and yelled, "GO GET EM TREES!" in the theater.
Old School with Will Farrell. I didn't laugh once through that movie and refuse to watch anything else with him in it.
The only movie I have ever walked out of was Portrait of a Lady… I’ve never been so bored in my life.
I walked out of Se7en. The soundtrack was mixed too high, so the dialogue was almost inaudible because of the other noise - rain, office chat etc. The low lighting/mood was taken to extremes (why are cops searching a crime scene in near darkness ? Just turn the damn lights on, as well as using your torches). It was on at our student cinema, so I hadn't paid, and could go wait in the office till it was over and I had to return to finish ushering duties.
velocipastor it has a decent permise but it is so bad its so funny. there us only one onscreen death which they replaced the body with a manicquen(idk how to spell that). its basicly a bunch of ninjas chasimg a priest bc he can turn into a dinosaur. also his gf almost dies bc she got brushes by a sword on the shoulder not stabbed brushed
Probably uh.. Can't remember what it was called, but it was a parody movie making fun of Westerns. Hilarious, but terrible at the same time.
The pursuit of happiness. My sister apologized for talking me in to watching it. So damn borin.
I agree someone I worked with recommend it to me and when I mentioned how boring it was when I went back to work, everybody else I worked with wanted to borrow the DVD to see if it really was that boring. And yes the all agreed it was the most boring film they had seen. Lol
Eternals only marvel movie that I hated
Toss up between Babadok and Krampus. Both horrible movies.
Slender Man is POWERFULLY bad. My friend and I randomly decided to go see it one night and at the end, all you could hear in the theater was people whispering "WTF?"
Morbius. I watched it till the end, but didn't enjoy at all.
I think the worst movie I watched was "Jurassic Island (2020)". It ripped off as many movies as it could (including Jurassic World, Jumanji). It was filled with awful CGI and despite the name, only had one dinosaur. It was terrible. 10/10 would watch again lmao
The Rocky Horror Picture Show! It took us 2 weeks to watch it! Just a few minutes at a time. I'm still not certain why we pressed on but we managed to watch the entire movie. It was atrocious and boring! It's been 20 years now and I don't remember much. Maybe I should try again? Watch it 5 minutes at a time again? I remember really hating it but don't quite remember why. So, maybe I will!
Try watch it again. I saw it at age 13 or something and when I rewatched it as an adult I was like wait, this is a soft porn musical?
It was called Phat Beach. Good lord was it horrible. It looked like it was going to be funny from the previews, but it is still the only movie that I've ever walked out on. (and I've seen MANY). My gf at the time and myself saw it for free b/c I worked at the movie theater and I STILL wanted money back for my wasted time.
Thor: Love and Thunder. Ragnarok was bad enough but Thor's character in Endgame was absolutely awful. I love the Thor Comics and I hate the bimbofaction of Thor. I lasted 59 minutes before I walked out. It was just so stupid.
All the components were awful. Cgi, writing, some acting, comedy was awful (didn't laugh once) and what was with Thor's nude scene geez
Cockneys vs zombies
Saw this rcently. Better than some zombie movies.. Which isn't saying a lot.
I watch a lot of bad movies (usually on purpose), so this is a tough one. Let's see:
Most popular movie that I hate: Gone with the Wind. Just could not care about any of the characters.
Worst martial arts movie: Enter the Ninja. ("I want my Oompah-Loompah, er, ninja NOW!")
Worst romance: City of Angels. "Smart" trauma surgeon not only goes for creepy stalker who hasn't bathed or brushed his teeth in billions of years, and then rides a bicycle without a helmet.
Worst horror movie: impossible to call. Weirdest, though, might be "Zombie A*s: Toilet of the Dead". Just don't watch it sober!
I never understood Gone with The Wind. So long that when my mom took my sister and me to see it at a screening with an intermission, I fell asleep right there in the theater.
Alien from LA. A very bad retelling of Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" mashed up with a sort of underground Mad Max aesthetic. Starred a young Kathy Ireland just prior to her Sports Illustrated Supermodel breakout. Bad story, bad acting, bad sets. Really nothing redeeming about this film whatsoever. Didn't even have Kathy in a bikini.
"Rabbit Test" - 1978
Billy Crystal plays the first pregnant man - truly awful movie.
A bit like junior, awful!!!! I can't stand most movies that include Arnie and Stallone!!! Lots of people love them, but they can't act at all. Again that's just my opinion
I know this is a child's movie but Zombies 3, while they were making it they advertised that a new group would join, (vampires) but the actual movie didn't include any of the "sprinkles" of info they were giving while they were making it. They also made her to be the most basic theory and broke past said things. All together it looked like they threw it together in a week.
I found the movie "Birdemic" to be truly dire. I know it was shot on a shoestring budget, and the acting and "special" effects are woeful, but the guy making it was totally clueless about basic technical aspects of filmmaking, like editing and sound mixing. He makes Ed Wood Jr look like Spielberg
Iron Sky: The Coming Race. Because who doesn't want to watch a movie about dinosaurs, Nazis, and aliens all in one?
to say 'watched' means it was at least good enough to finish watching, so I'm editing the question... which was the worst movie i walked out of? and that would be mr. and mrs. bridges.
Looking back, it could have just been my age and the time of year but I really didn't like the movie "Clueless". I just thought it was a bad movie and not worth the price my dad paid for me, him, and my sister to see it at Thanksgiving time because my mom told us we HAD to be out of the house while she was preparing the meal.
Mojave. I thought - "It has both of my faves, Oscar Isaac and Garrett Hedlund, how bad can it be?"
Well the answer is... very, very bad. Absolutely unsalvageable.
More the worst title ever, but I think you'll see why I mention it. Although in American company film, it was made in France. In French the title was the same as the novel, When Wolves Cry. In America: The Christmas Tree. Image; Family opening presents, singing carols under the tree. Story: pre-adolescent boy gets overdose of radiation from exploding atom bomb and dies under the Christmas tree.
I think it has to have been "A Good Man In Africa". My better half wanted to watch it because he's a Sean Connery fan, but even he hated this movie. We never made it to the end, it was so bad we gave up.
NONE. Why? I want to be entertained, I want to switch off my brain for a few hours and not worry about what is happening in front of me. Far too many people take movies waaaaaaaay to seriously. Disengage the noodle and go with the flow.
This is not about the movie it was when I was watching avatar and we had to watch it with no sound at all and they couldn't turn on the subtitles! it was soooooo bad and they didn't even refund us!!!
ANY OF THE ZOMBIES MOVIES CAUSE WHO DOSENT WANNA SEE THOSE???????
2012: Ice age. Not the one with John Cusack, I liked that one. 2012 : Ice is some kind of low budget copy.
Also, I have to say that if you enjoy really stupid movies occasionally, attack of the killer tomatoes is fantastic. One of my favorites as a stupid teenager lmao. Big Mel brooks fan though (- history of the world and the cowboy one). Edit to say that it's not one of his movies, just kind of in the same vein
