In line with the favourite movies thread, what do you think are the absolute worst films you have ever seen?

I hated Scary Movie. Seriously, what a load of bullcrap. Terrible sex humour and a half-assed attempt at black comedy just made this movie look like a half-assed, low-budget mess. I cannot believe that it got three sequels.

The spongebob movie.
Had the worst plot ever. It was so bad i blocked of most of it from my memory.

It's a kid's animated movie, garret. It doesn't need a plot or any serious themes.

Besides, you're a bit old for Spongebob.

Never too old for Spongebob. In fact, it's starting to be like some weird underwater Ren and Stimpy.

But one of the worst movies ever has to be Steel. Micheal Jordan can't act.

i saw it when i was a kid.
But anyway we really should get on track.
I think the movie G-force will end up being an insult to all 5 sense.

Double post my bad.

I notice that both movies you've mentioned are kid's movies. How about watching a real movie for once?

I belive that was Shaquill O'Neal who was in Steel...but yes it was an awful movie.

Yes it used to be that most kid movies were made so adults can enjoy also since there was also a deeper meaning to them with jokes that werent just cheap one liners.
But any way. Zyzzyx road

I watched one of the "Scary Movies" today.

It sucked huge donkey balls. Utter failure at humor, and I'm easily amused.

My top five in no particular order...

King Kong (The Peter Jackson version)
Batman (The Tim Burton version) and its sequels (Burton and Schumacher)
Superman Returns
The Matrix Revolutions (only Revolutions, not Reloaded)
Godzilla (The Devlin/Emmerich version)



Note: I look at movies as bad in a disappointing way. Some movies you expect to be bad and hence are not disappointing.

Whoever it was, it was the same guy who did Kazaam, which is also a horrible movie.

The Planet of the Apes remake (the one with Mark Wahlberg.)
King Kong (agree with you GoFenris)
The Godfather part 3
Jaws the revenge (maybe the worst movie ever)

Yup,that was Shaq..he can't act and cant shoot free throws.
And to add to the worst movies list..30 Days of Night...my god that film was pure suckage.

Probaly Alien 3 it sucked, but the next one Alien ressurection wasnt half bad.

FITZZ wrote: ... Jaws the revenge (maybe the worst movie ever)

This is great!!! I had it on my list but took it off because I knew it was gonna suck and it did. Although arguably it was still disappointing.

Planet of the Apes (remake) did suck pretty bad but I had really low expectations.
30 Days of Night didn't suck, per se, it was just really weak. Again, I had low expectations.
Alien 3 I kind of like (or, actually have grown to like) but a very unique thing regarding Alien and its sequels (I don't count AVP in this) is that they are all markedly different films.

Honorable Mention: AVP Requiem. I would say it sucked but I could never tell what was going on. We all thought the projectionist screwed up but the theater said it was correct. I didn't believe the theater and when I saw the DVD I realized the truth.

Also, I really hated parts of the LoTR trilogy. Thankfully much of it I like but some parts are really bad and painfully stand out as such.

The curse of Three:

Matrix 3
Star Wars 3

Batman? Seriously? Those are CLASSICS! Awesome movies!

That was actually the original purpose of spongebob. It was made by the same people who did Ren & Stimpy, and was supposed to be the same kinda thing, but kids started enjoying it and noone seemed to realise it was targetted at an older (yet less mature) audience, and the show was changed to reflect this.

garret wrote:Yes it used to be that most kid movies were made so adults can enjoy also since there was also a deeper meaning to them with jokes that werent just cheap one liners.

Nah, it's just that we think about the older kid's movies we remember the ones that had fun bits for adults and forget about the simpler ones. If you consider the stuff being put out by Pixar right now I'd argue kid's films are particularly strong right now.



Meanwhile, y'all don't know nothing about bad films, picking on mainstream stuff blockbusters and the like. Sure, most of the stuff listed here isn't very good and quite a big waste of money, but once you've seen Zardos, Manos - The Hands of Fate, Synchronicity... then suddenly Matrix 3 and Battlefield Earth don't look so awful.

Actually, that's going too far... Battlefield Earth is still is about as awful as movies can be.

Condorman. It was bad.

Come on guys is that the best you can do??? Those movies are oscar winners compared to the following.

Disaster Movie
Love Guru
Don't mess with Zohan
Delta farce
Empire (Andy Warhol something like 13 hours long, one static shot of the empire state building...thats it.)(Back in collage my teacher gave anyone who could sit threw the entire move...awake an A on the next test if they could make it. Seriously that hard to do!!)
Jack Frost (Both of them but mostly the killer snow man one.)


And the worst movie ever made...Legend of the Roller blade 7!!!

Let's not forget Turkish Star Wars. And the Star Wars Holiday Special. And Inquisitor.

Thank you. i kinda blocked those from my mind and denied there existence.

Orkeosaurus wrote:Let's not forget Turkish Star Wars. And the Star Wars Holiday Special. And Inquisitor.

Star Wars Holiday Special is about one of the funniest things I have ever seen. It is hilarious! Of course its not meant to be, but hey. I own it on DVD and it is frightening(ly funny). It has Chewbacca's dad (that's right, Chewie's dad) engaging in cyber-sex among other things. It also has Art Carney as a rebel sympathizer! C'mon, classic!!!


...and yes, Tim Burton's Batman is terrible. I can understand of you were young and that was your first real experience with Batman. But that movie is crap. Batman uses guns and missiles in an offensive manner? Are you kidding? CRAP!

Worst. Movie. EVAR.

Cable Guy, the only film I every seriously considered walking out on.

Awww, I actually liked that movie Darkkt .

It wasn't that funny but I am a pretty big fan of Jim Carrey in general, and I actually wished he would play a serious villain for once.

"Gotta love bein' bad!"

What's wrong with the first two Batman films? I love the Dark Knight but I think Batman and Batman Returns are great films, but for different reasons than the Dark Knight of course. Batman Forever and Batman and Robin are total crap though.

What's wrong with Peter Jackson's King Kong? I thought it was a pretty good pulp adventure movie, something you don't see much of anymore.

Oh, and please do tell which parts from Lord of the Rings that you thought sucked. I always like hearing about that.


I can think of a lot of movies that are bad, but I'm struggling to pick a few that I would say are the worst ever.

anything done by michale moore... may not be "movies" but some were on the big screens.

Ugh micheal moore.

Don't worry Hordini you have a wing-man here .

Lord of the rings for the simple epic pwnage of it all, Peter Jackson is pure win! I wasn't a huge fan of King-Kong, but it wasn't a bad movie. I am a big fan of PJ's () earliest work, and it simply wrex any of his new stuff more me, personal taste I guess.

The first two Batman films are the best in the series for me, the new ones almost get on my nerves with the pretentiousness of it all. I like a sort of cheesy batman, and if you HAVE to make him dark, make him the anti-christ ffs. He needs to really mean business, regardless of the nonsense, that is Batman at his finest. I suppose the newest Batman comes the closest to what I envision, but the Joker and Two-face just bug me. I know everyone LOVED the joker... (think about that one for a second though)... but I think it was hype. The Joker was like a confused cross dressing version of Beetlegeuse, and I like BG better quite frankly. The Joker was just some messed up dude that liked to cut himself, nothing I haven't seen before in real life, and that was the problem I had with the instant acceptance of a character that was realistically sickening. Anyway...

"Note"
On a side note, that Joker role could have been the reason that Heath Ledger (who was a fantastic actor, and many will miss him) died, and I think that it is something to note. Do I really want to see these things that plague humankind in real life? When did the media get so engrossed in the grit of everyday life, and how is this not effecting society on a whole? Marketing psychic shows that feign proof while actually abusing people are the epitome of what should not be on TV, yet you see this false proof in nearly everything now.

Don't take this too literally, and definitely don't take it as a vote for censorship, we have far too much of that already.
