Did you even read the books at all the movie had like 3 or four things in common with it the names of some of the characters the title of the movie and the fact that there are dinos in it.

My wife drug me to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakual" with my nephews. I thought my eyes were gonna fall out due to how much I was rolling them.

Im sorry, but I LOVE Water World. Which just baffles me, because I absolutely HATE Keven Cosner. HATE!

Ill add a few.
Drop dead fred.
And sticking to anti Cosner, ROBIN HOOD! The guys horrible acting is what ruins this movie. You ever notice that he doesnt have an accent AT ALL until he says his name? GOD how does this guy have a career?

Mega shark vs giant octopus ( i expected so much more awesome form a movie called Mega shark vs giant octopus )

Ah yes,the film that inspired the great "who would win if a shark fought an octopus/squid"Chinesse reasturant battle that erupted between my offspring (some of you longtime Dakkites may remmember that story).
Yes,I recall that film with a great fondness.

I'll only name films I have actually seen:

Space Truckers
Starship Troopers 2
Batman and Robin
The Crow 2
Fist of the North Star
Battlefield Earth (Only saw alittle of this, but it was really dreadful)

tremors 4 back to perfection
highlander 2
the crow 2, 3, 4

bah, probably think of a few more later

Is this the live action one? Because the animated one is a CLASSIC.

Also sticking only to movies I've seen:

The Last Sentinel (Don "The Dragon" Wilson and the chick who plays Starbuck in nBSG)
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (awesome collection of B-list actors/actresses....still made of fail)
Meet the Spartans
Battlefield Earth
Blood of Beasts
Godzilla (1998, US)
Toolbox Murders (2003 remake)

I'm sure I've seen other terrible films, I just forget most of them.

I think I too must have erased most all the terrible movies I've watched from memory as I could only come up with 2.

1. Green Street Hooligans-Don't know if it was because of Elijah Wood being in it, and the fact that the day previous I had watched The Two Towers and Return of the King. Yet the whole way through, while they were having punch ups and such all I could hear was a little voice in my head going,"Do you think we'll ever see the Shire again Mister Frodo?"

2.High School musical-This one is mainly down to me having to watch it so many times with my sister. I've grown a healthy disdain for all of the off shoots its spawned, just today I watched,"Vivla High school musical," which was possibly the worst dubbed movie I have ever seen.

The worst, MOST Corniest film I have ever seen is "The Gingerdead Man"
Its pretty much a murderer played by Garey Busey dies and his blood goes into a gingerbread cookie batter and when they bake it as a gingerbread man he comes back to life and starts killing people it even contains the most corniest line when he is killed by another actor by getting his head bit off. the actor who kills him utters in an angry voice "got milk" and then the soul of garey busey goes into the actor who ate him aaaaand blablabla typical scarey movie ending The End. and the thing that upsets me is that theyre going to make a sequel!!!!

The second one is called The Gingerdead man 2: Passion of the crust

Makes Uwe Boll look like a talented director. Seriously a piss poor film you wouldn't believe. NOTHING happens for most of it, then within 5 minutes all the Beatniks are dead, and the dreadful acting, direction, lighting and sound is finally at an end.

I'd also like to add that "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" is the name of one of the worst episodes of Supernatural.

And I'm the type of person who hates stopping mid-way through something. I mean, feth, I still watch Heroes for crying out loud despite the 2nd and 3rd Season, and why it took quite a while for me to give up on the new-style Bill. I even gave Alias 7 weeks to make me want to keep watching it (it didn't).

The other two films I just despise are Fargo and No Country for Old Men. Talk about depressing go-nowhere waste of time films. They're both by the same people right, Cohen brothers... they should stop making films.

There is, to this day, only one movie I walked out of the theater on.

Bear in mind, I've seen alot of trashy films...heck, I paid to see Elf.

Twice.
I even saw Wimbledon as part of a group of my friends(with no women present!) because it was a boring day.
For feth's sake, I actually sat through BATTLEFIELD EARTH in the theaters and thought it was worth what I paid.

But let me paint a picture for you with my imagination brush...

My friend Michael and I have got bored on a Friday night, and found out they were having a free(!free?! we're 17...with no money and no social lives. free movie?! feth yes!) showing of the upcoming movie "White Noise".
So we get there, we sit down to watch it. We get to the halfway point. Something "terrifying" happens(if I remember right, it was his dead wife suddenly appearing on his TV screen and then being attacked by 'angry ghosts') and the tweens(most of whom shouldn't have been allowed into an R movie without an accompanying adult anyways) start squealing.

...and that moment led to the single greatest phrase Mike and I have exchanged to date:
"...Why the hell did we waste 52 minutes on this?"


And that's why I hate Michael Keaton. For "White Noise"

That's fail beyond words.........

No, I don't care what you ______ think, DRAGONHEART sucked balls and you can quote me on that until your face goes blue, I don't fething care. It SUCKED. *Spits on ground, pulls down pants and moons DRAGONHEART luvers*

Sentimental trash

A friend of mine grabbed a not entirely legal copy of this while in Bali. See, on the cover of a not entirely legal copies of a movie picked up in Bali the not entirely legal distributor will often copy and paste a quote from a review. It's just copy and paste, they don't read the quotes, likely because they can't, and it leads to some pretty inappropriate quotes to use to advertise your movies, especially crap movies like White Noise that were slammed by the critics.

The quote on this particular cover was 'Shocking. Shockingly pinheaded and disapointing." It pretty much summed up the movie perfectly.

1. Doom

If I hadn't just died I'd agree, what a piece of gak. I was also pissed because the trailer hinted that the entire thing would be in first person, which seemed like a fun enough gimmick to get me to waste money on it, and it turns out that scene is only about 5 minutes long.

So bad. The dialogue was terrible too, I like both The Rock and Karl Urban and they had them saying some pretty stupid gak (especially Urban: "If they were so smart then how come they're so dead?"). Which seems like an odd thing for me to say, since The Rock is a wrestler and so has said a lot of stupid things before ever becoming a movie star.

The main culpret for rubbish movies are unnessecary sequels where the monster gets bigger but the drama and scripts become non-existant, this happened to jaws, alien

Wait, I hope you're not saying Aliens is bad! Otherwise I'll have to reply with that "all my hate" pic as well.

As for the movie that caused that reaction in the first place...Dragonheart was okay. Certainly not a terrible film, but not really all that good, either. Worth watching just because it's fething Sean Connery as a dragon!

I do have to say though, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Bowen wholesale slaughtered his entire race, killing his girlfriend not long before stumbling upon him (didn't it happen in like the same day?), and yet Draco doesn't really seem to care about all that. Nor does Bowen ever seemingly regret becoming a genocidal donkey-cave upon the realization that the boy he thought he knew was really a ruthless dick just like his father all along and that the dragon had nothing to do with it. His voice breaks a little and then it's business as usual, lol.

I don't know, their whole relationship didn't make much sense to me. Seemed like it decided to become a buddy movie just because. Sean Connery is cool though...if you want to see a really terrible movie with Sean Connery in it then track down Zardoz.

No man could ever willingly wear a costume like that. They must have had him drugged the entire time. Does Connery even remember doing Zardoz? Are the people responsible in prison (or dead)?

Also anything hostal or saw related.

Amen. I hate that crap and seriously wonder about the mental health of anyone who does.

Like my brother, who somehow finds a way to defend the villain and his actions by claiming he doesn't personally kill anybody and everyone that dies in his traps "deserves it" anyway, so it's okay. Just...no. I hate movies where the entire god-damned point is all the gore and violence and they try way too hard to gross you out.

Which is ultimately what also made AVP:R a terrible film. They made up for the ridiculously tame and boring first movie where you didn't see nary a single drop of blood, despite the fact that the creature reproduces by raping your face, impregnating you with alien love, and then exploding out of your chest causing a very messy and agonizing demise, by going completely overboard with near cartoonish levels of gore and violence, lol. And of course the story still sucks ass because we're continuing with the lame ass pyramid plot (more aliens built the pyramids crap) they came up with for the first one and it all takes place on modern-day Earth, making the whole thing look more like a lame B-movie than a sci-fi action thriller.

The "belly bursters" were also stupid. Jeez...I love the Alien series (except for Resurrection...and maybe the third one...and both AVP films...), so I would really like for them to do another good Alien film some day. You know, something like the first one. A movie that's actually scary, that genuinely makes you feel the emotion of fear.

Anyway, I also agree with Dungeons and Dragons. You gotta love how the villain just chews the scenery though, lol...you see that scene in the beginning where he's holding the scepter and being really over-the-top goofy and you just know you're in trouble. And to this day I'm still not sure what the hell this movie actually had to do with Dungeons and Dragons.

Believe it or not, they actually made a sequel. The goofy guy with blue lipstick comes back and tries to take over the world and some old knight has to gather a party together to go stop him. Now that movie played out more like a D&D game, it even references deities, monsters, and other stuff from the game. It still sucks and the effects are bad, but it's ten times the D&D movie that the first one was.

And Battlefield Earth, obviously. The fact alone that you're going to come away from watching it with your head tilted at an angle makes it gak, but when you pile everything else on...and Travolta at his worst...I'm glad I jumped out that window earlier.

I...uh...it doesn't work that way!

But yeah, Jurassic Park was awesome. Even though it had little in common with the book it was based on as sonofruss pointed out. That's common though, even Lord of the Rings left some things out.

Bear in mind, I've seen alot of trashy films...heck, I paid to see Elf.

Ouch. I thought it was bad when I saw the first Transformers three times (yeah I know...if it means anything I hated the second one), but damn.

So? I love the book and I love the movie. Sure they're barely related to one another except in the broadest of strokes but gimme a break. You can't take JP and make a scene for scene movie of it. It'd be eight hours long and cost more to make than Avatar.

House of the Dead was truly awful. So awful that it naked asian chicks couldn't save it in my eyes. It was just that bad.

Some of the films I really can't stand.

1/ The Thunderbirds movie. 2 hours of my life I won't get back.
2/ Terminator Salvation. Bad acting, bad plot, bad continuity, bad film.
3/ Mary Poppins. I hated it as a kid and was forced to endure it at several parties
4/ Matrix revoloutions. When do we get the 4th film explaining it all then?
5/ Spice World. If you thought that the music was bad....
6/ The Village. A bunch of technophobes are haunted by a slow that lives in the woods
7/ Shrek the third. A real let down after the first two instalments

How about Lady in the Water? That was a pretty bad movie, imo. Not the worst film ever, but if I could go back and not watch it I think I would.

Some not so known bad ones I have seen to my regret:

Demon Wind
Edges of Darkness (note the plural form - not the new Mel G. one)
The Minus Man
The Lawnmower Man II
Zombie Strippers

Other, more mainstream movies I detested:
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill (both parts)
Godfather III
Most of M. Night Imadouche movies (with the exception of the sixth sense, obviously)
Starship Troopers (only 1, I have to assume the follow ons only got worse from god awful)
The Thin Red Line

I think Draco was more just simply resigned to his fate rather than not caring about whatever happened. Also, I think he was just a little bit guilty that he saved that brats life. But yeah, Bowen could have shown a bit more remorse for driving the dragons to extinction. Regardless, it was infinitely better than the sequel. *shudder*

Behold the horror of the Turkish star wars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCnyay%C4%B1_Kurtaran_Adam

he film follows the adventures of two comrades, Murat (Arkın) and Ali (Akkaya), whose ships crash on a desert planet following a space battle that is made up of footage from the actual Star Wars films as well as newsreel clips of both Soviet and American space rockets. While in the desert one of them says that perhaps it is a planet only populated by women, so the other man begins to do his whistle which he uses to attract women. However, he uses the wrong whistle, and they are then assaulted by skeletons on horseback. The pair then proceed to defeat the skeletons in hand-to-hand combat. The film's main villain then soon shows up and captures the heroes, bringing them to fight in his gladiatorial arena. The villain mentions that he was actually from Earth and is in reality a 1,000 year old wizard. He tries to defeat the Earth, but his attacks are always repelled by a shield of concentrated human brain molecules arranged to look like the Death Star from Star Wars. The only way for him to bypass this otherwise impenetrable defense is to use a human brain to bring it down. The protagonists escape their captors and flee to a cave full of refugees who fled from the tyrannical rule of the villain. While there, Murat develops a romantic connection with the only woman there (Uçar), who is tasked with looking after the children (the connection is depicted by many deep eye-contacts and nothing more than that). The scenes in which they are together often play music from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Zombie minions of the dark lord soon attack the cave, and several of the children killed and turn into zombies themselves. The three protagonists then flee the cave. Resurfacing at a local bar lifted directly from Star Wars (the Mos Eisley Cantina), the two men quickly manage to find themselves in a bar brawl that attracts the attention of the main villain who suddenly appears and captures Ali and Murat.
Then the wizard separates both comrades and subsequently tries to influence them to join him. He sends his queen to seduce Ali, while he orders Murat to be brought before him. He offers Murat the rule over Earth and stars if he would join him. He reveals that he possesses the power of the Earth's ancestry in the form of a golden brain and all he needs in order to conquer Earth, is the power of a real human brain. After Murat declines, the wizard shows him that he keeps the woman and the child captive. Enraged, Murat proceeds to fight the evil monsters and skeleton guardians. The noise makes Ali leave the woman and join the fight. The comrades are disabled by laser-armed guards, however, and put through several tortures by the wizard, but their will cannot be broken. Finally, the wizard puts Murat against a mighty monster on the arena to humiliate him. Murat, however, succeeds in defeating the monster, and flees the arena taking the woman and the child with him. Ali is left in captivity.
A mentor, Peyda, then informs Murat about a sword made by "the 13th clan" by melting a mountain thousands of "space years" ago. Shortly afterwards, Murat finds the large sword shaped like a lightning bolt in a cave defended by two golden ninjas who he quickly dispatches. Now renewed by the power of the sword, he sets out to free his friend from the underground cavern where the dark lord is holding him. Unfortunately Ali is killed soon thereafter. Grief-stricken, Murat decides the next logical step is to boil his golden sword and gold-like human brain in a large pot and forge them into a pair of gauntlets and boots. Now girded with magically-endowed gloves and super-jumping boots, he sets off to find the dark lord and avenge his friend's death. After fighting the many minions, he comes face-to-face with his nemesis and karate-chops him in half, shown by covering alternating halves of the camera lens. The film ends with a Star Wars-like ending speech where the watcher learns that human brain is the strongest weapon in the whole universe.

Turkish Star Wars, Turkish Rambo, etc...heck, anything from Bollywood is so bad that it's just awesome. Look up some fight scenes on Youtube some time, they're a riot.

Anything in the old lady's DVD collection is guaranteed to be terrible. Sex and the City. Bridget Jones Part One and Bridget Jones Part Two: Attack of the Lame. I think there is a Mariah Carey Movie in there too. I prefer going to bed at 6:30 pm rather than watching anything she actually likes. Ugh.

Babel.


It was the most arrogant, pretentious and snotty piece of gak with the most unlikeable characters in it. I missed watching a gakky early (pre7of9) episode of voyager for it and have regretted it ever since.

That's how gak that film is.

It's even got Cate Blanchett in it and I love her, but it still stank.
