If you have your favorite movie of all time, nobody can ever convince you it’s crap. Because film preferences are totally subjective, they vary from one person to another, and if you and your crush can’t find common ground about it, it raises a red flag.

All seriousness aside, some movies are genuinely nothing more than a piece of crap and it doesn't take another person to prove that to you. So when someone posted the question “What 100% ruins a movie for you every time?” the comments started to pour in on r/AskReddit and reached 20.8k in total.

The inquiry has surely resonated with 32.6k people who pressed upvote, and many felt relief that finally, we just laid it all out on the table. From flawed characters to self-explanatory dialogues that make viewers feel like they're first graders, these things will spoil any top-notch movie. Film directors, take notes.

In a world where every single opinion counts, getting your voice out about a movie you just watched may be quite hard. Luckily, we live in the world of reviews, and if it’s not you who writes one, then there will be film critics who do this job for us. Or you may simply go to Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregation website, that will tell you the truth about what it is that you'd like to watch.

ADVERTISEMENT

According to Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, the award for the worst movie of all time goes to Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002). Critics’ synopsis describes it as “A startlingly inept film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever offers overblown, wall-to-wall action without a hint of wit, coherence, style, or originality.”

The second worst entry is One Missed Call (2008), as it’s thought to be “one of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes,” completely undone by bland performances. The third worst is the 2012 movie A Thousand Words, which is described by critics as a “painful mess” with “bland jokes.” So yeah, not all movies are born to be perfect, but some of them are hardly watchable.

I can often tell when actors carry fake (well, empty) suitcases, and even when they carry empty to-go cups. There's just something different in the way their bodies/muscles work then.

Jesus Christ, it's a 50 million dollar movie, how hard would it be to fill the cup and toss a couple of bricks in the suitcase?

Or create one in a story based on a historic event. Titanic is a prime example. I’ve been a Titanic buff since I was a teenager. Saw the movie in the theatre, hated it, and have never watched it again. The true stories on that ship are so much more interesting than the fake ones, but the true stories were pushed to the background or completely changed. Just so the fake characters could be pretty, have sex, and one of them—-but only the young female, even though there was an attractive male character too—-could be seen fully nude. Totally detracted from the more gripping true story.

Generic example, 50 seconds until a bomb explodes. Dialogue for 30 seconds. Timer is showing 30 seconds left. More dialogue for 40 seconds. Timer is at 5 seconds. Quick one-liner, bomb defused with one second to go.

The lesson we have learned from all of those movies is that you kill your enemy by simply filling them up with lead. Forget those contraptions, no pools with sharks or bombs with a timer so you can escape in your airplane. Shoot the hero and live a long and happy life as a successful villain.

Product placement that's been forcibly inserted too. James Bond has to drive an Astin Martin or whatever - it's part of the spy fantasy. The British Secret Service would be in dire straits if Q gave him the keys to a Ford Focus, even one with exploding rockets behind the headlights! But if, when he makes his regular drink order, he says "Vodka martini, shaken, not stirred. And use Grey Goose, it's smoother", James Bond just became The Truman Show. (Which I think captured the weirdness of forced PP just beautifully)

Gets together with guy. You can just tell the way s**t is going to go because the movie is already cliché. Or in action films. Oh let me guess, X is behind that door isn't he? Or he was.

People Say These 30 Things 100% Ruin A Movie For Them Every Time Teenagers who sound like screenwriters trying to sound cool.

Never in the history of humanity have two 15 year olds randomly recited 18th century poetry to each other on the day they met, and all those snarky remarks makes the kids sound insufferable and annoying a lot more than clever.

Also notice that somehow every clever 15 y.o. always listens to music that was huge when the screenwriter was growing up, never something that is... you know... listened to by 15 year olds... as if there was no good music around presently.

PS. Also the whole sarcastic genius with no social clues...yes we get it Dr. House was a hit 20 years ago, now can we get Cumberbatch to play any other freaking role?

There's a saying in writing that no one thinks they're the bad guy. Think Thanos in Marvel. He views himself as the savior of the universe. He's not really redeemable, but he certainly is interesting. Bad guys in movies that are just "I'm doing it because I'm EVIL!!!" really aren't.

Even worse that many modern movies seem to propagate completely immoral things as the perfect way. I'm not talking about things like GoT, because everyone knows people there are supposed to be immoral. I mean action flicks like "London has Fallen". There they convey it as completely OK to bomb terrorists with their whole family including countless women, children and innocent wedding guests. It's never questioned. In one scene the protagonist tortures and kills a wounded terrorist just to piss of his brother who is listening via radio.

People Say These 30 Things 100% Ruin A Movie For Them Every Time Its becoming more and more annoying to me to see schools and teachers acting like they never took educational psychology to figure out why a kid has suddenly started being late, distant, and depressed. They just shove the kid into detention.

"Your child has become more and more distant in class, not participating, and not doing homework over the past week. We put them into detention... deal with it at home or we'll call the cops."

Seriously? you don't ask about the sudden change? send them to a counselor? call the parents/caregivers? I know some teachers would be pricks, but that frequent representation pisses me off.

Sci fi that just throws "QUANTUM" in to explain whatever they cant explain with good writing and storytelling.

In endgame Tony just starts randomly saying maths-physics words and acting like hes solved the whole thing. When hes discussing the "quantum realm" he just starts saying shit like "so we take the eigenvalue of a mobius strip". Its absolute nonsense.

If you're going to have science fiction, make it fiction dont use actual science terminology wrongly. He also uses the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky theorem entirely wrong, its disrespectful at best and lazy at worst. Don't do it, instead create something new.

Breaking its own rules.

Like Star Wars how stormtroopers are supposedly elite yet none can shoot for s**t while some random pilot can solo entire destroyers and outgun dozens of troopers with a pistol

Also “I can’t kill” theme shoved down over and over to try to make them look like a good guy. If someone is trying to kill you, you’re just being stupid if your only play is to talk them down

Back in 1991 when Lucas launched the Star Wars EU that Disney deleted from SW Cannon, they solved this issue. There are two grades of troops, Storm Troopers and Imperial Troopers. The first are elite, the second are half trained conscripts using a lower quality gun that is less accurate at the same time. It was solved a long time ago.

Or where its completely unrealistic, like a 90lb girl able to throw a 260lb wrestler against the wall. Fine, if you've introduced a valid reason for this break to expectations (e.g. Buffy being unique - Willow couldn't do it pre-Wicca), or if it's a full part of the fantasy setting, but if it's just Jason Bourne's girlfriend, I'm not buying it. For the record, I DISPISE the damsel in distress trope too - women in high adrenaline situations can hold their own for a while, but at some point reality will kick in and they will lose. (Again, if she gets the right attack to his eyes or groin, go for it - I'm talking about the trading of roundhouse punches)

Alternately: People who complain about forced diversity when really they just wrote the script and/or picked the best actors for the job without needing everyone to be white. The pictured example seems to me to be a great example of moviemakers finally moving past the "token [whatever]" trope and including actual human beings who are allowed to be main characters with flaws and traits outside of their gender/race... and we're supposed to be mad about it?

A random assortment of music. I didn't realise how jarring it was until I saw suicide squad - going from rap to metal, to slow to fast paced... Made me feel like 10 people couldn't agree on one song, so they took 30 seconds each for the song they liked. It annoyed me

Also sudden character turns - your bad, but now good because you feel like it...oh okay cool, let's not build upto it or anything just yep good now.

Fast-talking techno-jargon to show how intelligent the smart character is supposed to be compared to the others. Or, randomly mashing a keyboard = hacking the mainframe.

Character running, trips.

I'm out of bullets, I need to throw away the gun because it's not possible for me to find ammo later.

Main character jumps through multiple hoops to defeat the demon, monsters, etc. Surprise! None of it worked in the end. Rendering the entire story pointless just for a cheap "jumpscare" that every horror movie has done.

Major character is always bored or sarcastic/snarky towards everything. Either for "humor" or because the writers thought they would look badass or super cool compared to everyone else. They're actually flat and boring to watch.

"So bad it's good" movies gain some attention, so they make multiple sequels that get worse and worse and lose the original charm of the first.

I call it sucking the life out of a movie. Hero beats villain. The End. Sadly the movie becomes a hit so there's a sequel: Turns out Hero didn't really beat the villain so he has to do it again. The end. Rinse and repeat and it goes on even when the Hero is in wheelchair with an oxygen tank attached and the villain is so senile that he thinks he is the president and they stole his presidency.

Some times there are subtitles with just some distant mumbling voices at sound lever 1, and I always wondered how the heck English speaking audience could possible get what they are saying. Actually, I sometimes need to put on subtitles on Norwegian films as well because they speak so fast and unarticulated.

Pointlessly high stakes to make up for s*it writing. Suicide squad being a prime example. Ohh the world's at stake, okay and what exactly can these dipshits do that that better superheros can't do? Oh right, plot bullshit. You didn't need the world to be at stake to create tension. Whiplash being a prime example of the opposite. Nothing major at stake, just a guy wanting to be a good jazz drummer and a teacher obsessed with creating a great. Nothing that couldn't happen in the real world but creates such tension I didn't realize I was holding my breath at the the end.

i used to love power rangers when i was young....tbh, they began to be kind of predictable... they fight the nighlok guys in the first round, one of them gets beat up, the nighlok dries begins to dry up so leaves while one character gets emotional and beat the guy in the next round and then they bring out big robots.... oof

Again, read the comments before posting. This has been mentioned SO many times.

Unnecessary/bad CGI. Watched The Greatest Showman last night, during the final score suddenly there are clunky elephants and lions appearing and then disappearing one camera angle later. Completely breaks my immersion in the movie and it's just lazy filmmaking.

That movie was so terribly awkward and herky jerky that I couldn't watch more than the first half hour.

The girl getting giddy at the random guy she just met, and a smooch by the climax that only happens for the picture

Fake food props. Like ice cubes that fall to the bottom of the glass or those weird eggs Clark Kent was cooking for Lois.

Or food that's just been taken from an oven, and there's no steam coming off it

Someone who thinks they aren’t spoiling stuff by constantly going, “watch what’s about to happen!”

I have a writer in one of my writing groups who is constantly foreshadowing. Stop foreshadowing and get to the friggin point!

Depends if that's the point. Google Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society. Granted they haven't done a full movie (yet), but the error is the point.

There has been a tendency in comedy movies over the last 20-25 years where some 2/3rds into the movie they shoehorn some drama in for some reason... The only times this works is when they do it subtly enough not to clash with the plot, but most of the time it just feels extremely forced.

Goes further back than 25-30 years. Look up Irving Thalberg at MGM. He came up with the “formula” that he thought guaranteed a movie had something for everyone in the audience, by inserting drama, and/or songs, and/or a love story in comedies (in any combination), and comic relief or songs in dramas—-whether it made sense for the plot or not. On paper it sounds like a pretty good idea, marketing-wise, but in practice just ruins a picture. The Marx Brothers are a prime example. Their Paramount comedies are so much funnier than A Night at the Opera and after, because Paramount had the sense to leave them to it (a lot of it was ad lined, btw). Thalberg just ruined them by diverting attention to a bland romance or drama or singing that makes no sense to the story—-both of which make most people want to fast forward back to the comedy.

The preview.

The movies I've enjoyed the most have almost always been the ones I know nothing about ahead of time.

On the other hand... I once walked into a theater on a whim to watch a film I had never heard of and it turned out to be a psycho-drama about a nutter who kills the good guy at the very end and I did not sleep for a week. Never again.

Old war movies have silly-sounding gunfire sound effects that I can barely stand. Ruins a lot of classic movies for me.

Mentioning other movies, especially when an inferior movie brings up a superior movie it was clearly inspired by (except this works in comedies... sometimes)

Fake interruptions. Where Person A stops speaking and Person B just begins to speak. Can't the writers actually give person A a couple of extra words to say, so person B can genuinely interrupt them?
