Your Pick for Worst Movie Ever?

   kpfingazposted 15 years ago

   Well there's got to be over 100 threads in this forum about Favorite movie. So anyway I know Hollywood has played some pranks on us (read: threw shitty movies at us) and tried to make us watch them.
   
   I've seen some. You know they're really horrible when:
   
   >> You fall asleep multiple times trying to watch it.
   >> The acting is really bad, the story sucks and they try to distract us with their special effects.
   >> You said what he was going to say before he said it (predictable)
   >> Its a spoof of no movie in particular, just all the ones you've seen last year.
   >> Is that the end? WTF?
   
   Anyways here's some of the mistakes Hollywood made, that I just happened to run into.
   
   The Thirteenth Warrior
   RedLine
   The Grudge
   Queen of the Damned
   Matrix Reloaded + Matrix Revolutions
   Freddy Got Fingered
   Epic Movie
   Hulk (2003)

      Can agree with all but thirteenth warrior. That is a great movie. I find its inclusion on your list odd.
      but then i dont listen to critics and dont watch movies expecting to be let down, like most people anymore.
      Snakes on a plane would fall into just plain bad for me. So predictable I didnt watch it and still know how it went. I read a synopsis and found myself saying of course, and knew that was coming a LOT.

      I'm going to have to call BS on the two Matrix sequels - just because they weren't as good as the original everybody bashes them, but nowadays it's become more of a popular thing to do than something with any substance behind it. I've never fallen asleep watching them, and have seen each...well, maybe it's best nobody knows how many times I've seen them, lol. Even if you think they're bad, there's no way they're the worst movies ever. Here's my list to add to the fun:
      
      Meet the Spartans
      Epic Movie
      Date Movie
      Ultraviolet
      Spice World
      Titanic (for most overrated)
      The Medallion (Jackie Chan's worst - and he's had some stinkers)
      Good Luck Chuck (Alba is bad enough without her trying to be funny by falling over and running into things - I kept on hoping she would actually get hurt)
      The Heartbreak Kid (last year's, not the original)

      I fell asleep every time I tried to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. I say three strikes and you're O-U-T. This film was a major turning point in my life, because I suddenly realized that Johnny Depp was no longer cool.
      
      Oooh, the 13th Warrior totally made steam come from my ears, I was so mad!

      Yeah there are worst movies out there.  Honestly I think I am actually just annoyed with it more than anything else and I am not a big Tolkien fan. Back when it came out my friends were forcing Lord of the Rings upon me, and I have the bad associations of being coerced to read a book and watch a movie I would not have choosen on my own. I appreciate fiction, biographies and historical fiction, so fantasy genres really do not do it for me.  For instance, right now I am reading the biography of Queen Noor and I must say this is a must read for anyone who wants to understand issues in the Middle East today, and she provides unique insights as an American who married the king of Jordan.  Of course many people love Tolkien and find his works amazing, but I am just not one of them .  However, I do see what you are saying .

   I fell asleep during the Lord of the Rings twice, but maybe I was just tired. Huge fan of the books. First read the Hobbit when I was 14 and have read it and the trilogy many times since. I plan on giving the films another chance. I'd like to watch all three over the course of one weekend.  One friend of mine described the Lord of the Rings movie thusly:  "marching, marching, marching, BATTLE, marching, marching, marching, BATTLE..." etc. I also couldn't watch Rent and didn't like the play either. I lived that life in my 20's in N.Y....bunch of whining, feeling sorry for themselves, angst ridden wannabe's.

    One point I would like to make is that by NOT seeing things like Miami Vice I get to keep my respect fro those two actors.  This way, if my assumption is wrong and it turns out to be stunningly good,
    
    (like BUG w/ Ashley Judd.  Who saw that coming?  Good director, that's what happened.)
    
    I can always admit I'm wrong later and get on the bandwagon and see it.
    
    That was my only attention w/ my hub.  I think we sometimes don't even consider missing something simply because they don't think about it and do it on autopilot, so to speak.

    I thought The departed was one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life.
    
    After hearing the hype over the movie I didn't begrudge paying money to visit the cinema and sit there for around two hours to see a decent film. But when the plot was as poor as what it was and when (nearly) the whole cast died at the end I just thought it was pointless film, waste of money.
    
    Funny thing is, when people talk about new releases at the cinema, i normally say "oh it's good that film, but you just don't expect him to die in the end do you?" and when they actually did, it made me chuckle.

    Tried watching it twice and kept wither falling asleep or losing interest.  It's the typical case of going back to the well too many times.  Some frnachises need to know when to stop and do something else.
    
    But then again, if it wasn't that annoying whiney Mac advert guy and had gone down a route with Samuel L Jackson again as Zeus then maybe it'd been worth sticking out.  I mean Reginald Vel Johnson had a cameo in Die hard 2, how lame.

       Oh, that was completely horrible. I thought the first 15 minutes were good and it went terribly downhill from there.

    For some unknown reason people love the new james bond with Daniel "so wooden you catch splinters off him" Craig. 
    
    For me the James bond movies are meant to have someone like Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan not a personality void like Daniel Craig.  I watched casino royale and thought it was just a big indulgence for poker players, so boring considering i can't stand poker but thought maybe the sequel would be better.
    
    Again, crap, I seriously didn't have a clue what was going on up until the very end when I sort of guessed what was going on and then it still managed to lose me.  They've tried to rewrite Bond and that sucks since he's now a moody watered down Jason Bourne (casino royale's opening basically rips this off).
    
    Plus if you're going to wipe out Q and his gadgets, drive a ford but keep M you're going to confuse plenty of people, apart from those who take joy in hearing Judi Dench swear like a trooper, which is all she seems to do in the new films!
    
    I liked transporter 3 more than this excuse!

       No - the poker was rubbish too. In years of playing I have never seen such a BS choreographed predictable bunch of hands. Any one who plays knew exactly what hands they were supposed to have before they even dealt the cards. zzzzzzzz
       
       My worst movie of all time -
       
       The Neptune factor starring Ernest Borgnine. Truly awful

    Constantine, Judge Dredd.
    
    In fact, every Hollywood attempt to make a film based upon a comic. They always miss the point.

    "Requim for a Dream". Depressed me beyond belief.

       Really?  I didn't think it was completely great or anything, but I liked it.... It was well done. 
       
       Any of the latter Rocky movies are truly, nails-on-the-chalkboard, reeking hard to watch.  So trite!  And over and over again.  I hate most sequels....
