Even though 2023 presented us with some quite high-grossing movies—the so-called “Barbenheimer” and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, for instance—not everything people watched over the past year was equally attention-worthy. Ask anyone who has sat down in front of a screen at least a few times and they will line them up for you, from the one they liked the most to the one they did the least, or maybe even found quite disappointing.

Members of the ‘Movies’ subreddit recently discussed disappointing works of cinema after the user ‘Starless Princess’ started a discussion about it. The OP shared that they tried giving The Portable Door a go (ended up regretting the decision) and decided to ask what was the worst thing fellow redditors watched in 2023. Scroll down to find their answers on the list below and see if they coincide with your list of “I’m never watching that ever again”.

As most superhero movies. Honestly, they're all CGI battles and nothing else, the scripts are 95% of the time garbage and the actors have horrible dialogue and their talent is wasted, no matter if they are newcomers or known faces.

29 People Share The Worst Movies They've Watched In 2023 Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, just disaster

u/skuzzy87x:

Here's the thing though. I'm a sucker for bad flicks. Especially horror flicks. And I always finish what I started no matter how much of a pain it can be to get through.

I didn't make it 25 minutes. Absolutely trash.

I watched Expendables 1. It was okay, but not good enough to bother seeing 2 or any other sequels. Reading this, I feel like I got it right.

29 People Share The Worst Movies They've Watched In 2023 Napoleon. Badly directed, badly edited, badly written, bad sex scenes, bad battles and bad history. It did have nice costumes, I will give it that.

u/hundredhorses:

Napoleon, not just the worst movie I've seen this year, quite possibly the worst movie I've seen in my whole life. Certainly the most disappointing.

Disregarding the litany of historical inaccuracies, the movie is just bad. It's boring and there is no context for anything that happens.

Joaquin Phoenix is too old to play Napoleon, and his acting was bad.

We got a trailer for a grand Napoleon action movie in the style of Gladiator. What we got was a boring, weird and a-historical 3 hour mess of autism Napoleon.

29 People Share The Worst Movies They've Watched In 2023 Quantumania. Just stripped the heart and soul out of the Ant-Man franchise while ruining one of the best relationships in the MCU.

But we get a script cobbled from the scraps of the Rick and Morty writers room.

For me Marvel's biggest mistake of many is to treat each movie as a link in a chain of ever escalating events. It is difficult to care for movie #23 of 547 on another "we must save REALITY" saga.

I loved Leave the World Behind. The movie was filled with mysteries that kept me very interested. The Julia Roberts character was very annoying, because she was so bleak in her outlook. Still, I liked the movie a lot.

29 People Share The Worst Movies They've Watched In 2023 Lion-Girl (2023), that whole movie was like if Power Rangers had a even lower budget. I'm pretty sure that creating that movie was just an excuse to get Tori Griffith naked as much as they could (which barely helped the movie). The action scenes were bad, the special effects were bad and the story was very predictable and felt like someone took the worst manga they could find and made a script out of it.

29 People Share The Worst Movies They've Watched In 2023 I thought Expend4bles was utterly shite from start to finish, but there was a small saving grace with the choreographed fight / gun battle on the ship deck. I mean none of them are particularly noteworthy but at least the first couple were *fun*. You can sit back and watch your old action heroes hip firing a mini-gun. This was *dead*.

However, a couple of weeks later I saw Sumotherhood, which is a sequel to Anuvahood. I doubt these mean anything to any non-Brits on here but they're p**s-takes of British crime dramas. What an absolute disgrace of a film, an appalling pile of wank. It followed the guise of "If I am being loud, I must be hilarious". A painful watch.

Denzel Washington spends 80% of the movie sitting in a chair drinking coffee, 15% walking around an Italian village like he’s on vacation and only 5% of action scenes that made his heart rate exceed 60 BPM.

Either I didn't get it, either it was just an action movie without any action.

I admit I had some expectation, David Fincher / Michael Fassbender / Tilda Swinton... Great cast and realisator. But I was bored during the movie.

Watch “W***y’s Wonderland” with Nic Cage instead. Sure, it’s not Oscar-caliber and is an obvious ripoff of FNAF, but it’s crazy. And Cage’s character doesn’t speak a word.

29 People Share The Worst Movies They've Watched In 2023 I didn't see many bad movies this year, and actually, I would say I only saw one. I know Its definitly not the worst movie of the year, but as far as the worst movie I saw this year go, I'd give it to Insidious: The Red Door. I was excited to see what they'd bring to the table to end that storyline, and it was so boring, unoriginal, dull, lame, poorly written and poorly paced. No hate to Patrick Wilson, I hope his next movie he directs will be great and I love him as an actor, but this was just outright bad and honestly really dissapointing. Other than Insidious, no movie I saw a movie that was "bad", and the movies I'd rank just above it get an "it's watchable" from me

Thing of note: I didn't see Blood and Honey, Thanksgiving, The Nun 2, Expendables 4, Beau Is Afraid and other movies most people are commonly mentioning.
