Worst Movies Ever

[Gawdzillers]

Any Nicolas Cage movie

Most David Lynch movies (I think he's allergic to making movies that make sense)

No Country For Old Men (The movie was great, the ending was BULLSHIT)

TRON: Legacy (Due to the uncanny valley, I cringed every time I saw CGI Jeff Bridges)

Friday The 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan (More like Jason Kills Kids on a Boat and Dicks Around in Some Back Alley for All Of 10 Minutes)

Hostel (Sickening)

And, to a lesser extent, The Blair Witch Project. It was a great idea, showing it like home video footage, but the story was weak, and the "events" (cairns around the campsite, finding that kid's teeth and hair) weren't very scary. Most of the Slender Man stories online do a better job (having audio/video malfunctions whenever something's about to happen is very effective).

I've come close to walking out a couple times but I'm in the school of, "I paid for this so I'm going to watch every minute".

Most of the Slender Man stories online do a better job (having audio/video malfunctions whenever something's about to happen is very effective).

I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of closure in No Country, the bad guy walking away, I was waiting for the obligitory sees him nabs him/shoot out scene, but it just rolled the credits.
THAT I liked, if I haven't said it already here (I say it alot) movies that have to package up the ending defeating the villain etc bore me,

case in point (and appologies if ive already posted this in this thread) Broken Arrow, if I was Travolta seeing my ride blown up, the nuke would have gone then and there, fuck giving Slater a fight and a chance to defuse the bomb just in time. granted it would blow in the middle of nowhere, but the middle of nowhere nuked is still gonna be nuked and contaiminated for a very long time.

and movies like Blair Witch Rec and all other found footage movies, they work to a certain extent, but after a while genre cliche's start to form.

Cloverfield being one worked and sucked due to the found footage formular, we knew as much as they did vs multiple story lines in a normal Godzilla movie, this was more an ants eye view of a disaster movie, but alot of people wanted to know the who what where when and why's of it all and those characters would not find out those answeres.

Paranormal Activity sucked as most 'events' happened at night and the time lapse would go to real time, it was more a guessing game as to which tired cliche would be used this time, the best scare happened when they were awake, but this was only in one cut of the movie iir.

I think what made Blair Witch work was all the lead up to the actual movie. And sadly, that was better than the movie itself.

Has anyone ever walked out of the cinema due to a movie being so bad?


I see it as "I've paid to see this, I'm getting my money's worth."

.

I have lost count of the ones I quite watching due to suck that I was watching at home. As for ones that sucked so hard I fled the theater, I remember abandoning Highlander 2.

Prelude: I went to to loo during Highlander 2. Not being in a hurry to get back so as not to miss anything, since the movie sucked and all, I hung out with the seventy year old ticket taker for a bit. He asked me if the movie was good at all. My answer was, "Well, no, sir, it's not. It's actually better out here."

Eventually, I returned to my seat and my husband.

Husband (thinking "this sucks" and looking over at me to see what I think.)
Me: (scowling in appalling disbelief)
Husband: Let's leave. This movie sucks an acre of dicks.
Me: It does. But we paid to be here, I feel like it would be a waste of money...
Husband: this mess has gotten twelve bucks of my money (note: it was long enough ago that twelve bucks was a nice little bit of walking around money for us) and about forty minutes of our lives we'll never get back. I dont' want really want to give it anymore.
Me: Point. Let's go.

We went home and banged each other's brains out. I think we kind of felt like we should make up for the time we flushed down the crapper.

Has anyone ever walked out of the cinema due to a movie being so bad?

I went out to the arcade after a while when a group of friends went to see A Beautiful Mind. Not because it was bad, just really not my kind of movie. I was bored out of my mind.

The only movie I've ever walked out of on the grounds that it was utterly bad has been The Spirit. I'm not sure I have words for how awful that was. Well, maybe "atrocious", or maybe "juvenile", and possibly "complete waste of talent."

[Rageaholic]

How about Ghost Rider? While not the worst movie, it was pretty stupid. Definately the worst super hero movie I've ever seen.

[Andara Bledin]

I'd put Ghost Rider somewhere far above the Fantastic 4 movie... A movie that was only made so that the people with the rights could hold onto them for even longer despite not having any intention of actually producing anything based on said rights.

^-.-^

[Ginger Tea]

oh but the 94 FF wasn't meant to be seen by anyone so who cares what it was like or how badly it was acted, it secured them the rights long enough to pump out two shite movies, I have found comic to movie adaptations to be utter shite at best, Constantine being the one I didn't know was about Hellblazer got away in my books as it was just a mindless bit of fun, had I known the fanchise enough at the time, I think I would have been pissed, still not as much as Wanted, a good movie in itself, but hardly worth obtaining the rights to an interesting story and doing fuck all with it.

Kink - I think (and I'll have to check with Mr. Rum) Highlander 2 is not acknowledged to actually be part of the movie franchise. All true Highlander buffs completely disregard that one.

[Gibbo]

Titanic - All that hype and expense over what was just a love story, which really could have been set anywhere.

Batman and Robin - Just pure dross of the highest order from start to finish. It is the only film that I have come close to walking out of before the end.

The adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl - I was made to see this at a cinema as when my eldest was younger she really wanted to see it. No amount of Twilight films that Tyler Lautner stars in will ever make up for being in this piss poor excuse of a movie.

Eyes Wide Shut - Can anyone explain to me what this was actually about?

[AdminAssistant]

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl wasn't SO bad, it's just that it was aimed at a very specific demographic. Robert Rodriguez made it and the Spy Kids movies so that there would be child-appropriate action movie alternatives to his other films (which are NOT in any way child-appropriate).

[telecom_goddess]

I liked Eyes Wide Shut....it's surreal and weird and interesting.

[mikoyan29]

I have a love/hate relationship with Titanic. On one hand, the story about the ship sinking and what not is pretty well done and some of the scenes during the sinking are done. I just hate the main story and I hate all the people that think it was the greatest movie ever.

Batman and Robin - Thank you so much for bringing this movie back to forefront of my mind.....Is that the one where they sky surfed or some crap like that?

[ArenaBoy]

Anything involving that pompous, self-centered, full of himself twit, M. Night Shyamalan gets worst movie from me.

Puts a "twist" in every movie of his and he thinks he's a effing genius. He'd put a twist in a a simple home movie.
