I get this movie. 5 star rating. Some strange bird from the new york times says it is candid,funny,and deeply moving. Total chick flick. Before Sunset. Has to be the worst movie I have ever seen. It starts out this guy writes a love story about a girl. The girl shows up at a book signing. O.k. fine. The rest of the whole movie, all they do is walk around, sit around, and do the social chit chat thing. The whole movie. Two people, chit chat, chit chat, chit chat. It was horrible. I was waiting for something to happen the whole movie. Nothing. Just talk talk talk talk talk. At this point, I dunno what candid even is, I did not laugh, and it did not move ANYTHING! usually when you buy a cheap movie with 5 stars, or two thumbs, you get something out of it. This one. NOTHING. I have stacks upon stacks of movies. This one has been sitting on my floor for months. It is the only one I do not want to put on my shelf. Maybe it is an autistic thing, I don't know. Other people seem to really like it??

If you are into chick flicks, you should watch this five star movie, and tell me if there is something wrong with me, because I really don't get it. Before Sunset. Watch it NOW!! !!

If there is one that is worse, I want to hear about it. I feel like torturing myself.

Any films with any connection to Peter Jackson, Christopher Nolan or Michael Bay. Latest Superman movie takes bad film making to a new level.

Re AspieUtah
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - It was very slow and rather disturbing, but it was to reflect the hoplesness of the situation.
Dungeons & Dragons (2000) - absolutaly agree, horrible movie.
Any "director's cut" by George Lucas - absolutatly agree.
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)[/quote] - I enjoyed this movie. I laughed a lot.

Now I'll add.
Red Planet - terraforming mars movie.
Eat, Pray, Love - I took 3 girls to see this movie, and they walked out on it.

Avatar: After mixing and erasing the great feel of the stories of Pocahontas and Ferngully and topping it off with the interracial relations of Twilight on top you get this total lack of creativity and a ridiculous amount of CGI.

I then decided to turn it off after getting bored of watching a furries dream female smurf cat talk to a human about some random tribal issues.
It is obscene that Disney is putting it in Animal Kingdom instead of Pocahontas.

Anything that airs on Syfy since the renaming, they have no creativity and the cgi is like a 10 year old made it.

The Super Mario Bros movie should have been a film length episode of the Super Mario World series that debuted a couple years prior, to this day SMBM makes film makers nervous when it comes to adapting games to the big screen.

I liked 1941. Usually not one for all that stupid humor, but some I liked.

I guess I have 3 more. OMG, I have a list now.

Documentary. Valentino the last emperor. Didn't like his little poop toys one bit. They should have called it snob city.

Dil Chahta Hai. Some Indian, rich kid, narcissistic, I love myself more than anyone flick. Snob city II.

Eddie Lizzard. Dress to kill. Stand up comedian. Didn't laugh, not even once.

The meaning behind Before Sunset is hard to understand.

After all, it IS the second movie out of 3.

The story makes much less sense when you watch the 2nd one first. I personally liked Before Sunset, there was something so...real about it...

But I see where you're coming from. I was confused the first time I saw it but decided to do my research on this strange and unique movie.

Anyway; the worst movie I've probably ever had to watch would have been Avatar. I did have a couple phases where it was an alright movie, but other than that it is unoriginal and annoying to watch.

Pretty much the entire film is CGI. I couldn't even tell what was real and what was computer generated images anymore. The soldiers all looked like plastic. The alien planet in no way looked authentic nor beautiful...just one big headache...

The Box.
Even though it's based on a Richard Matheson short story, and even though it stars Cameron Diaz and Frank Langella, this movie is a real stinker.
For a much better adaption, see The Box episode in the short lived 1980's Twilight Zone series.

This was nothing more than "Titanic meets Dances With Wolves." Sure the cinematography and the CG were great, but this was a 3-hour crapfest.

There is a listing of films considered "the worst!"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fi ... orst#1980s


There's also a film 'Best Worst Movie' - Actually, 'Best Worst Movie' is a fun (not-bad) documentary about a film 'Troll 2' that was so bad, it became a "cult classic of sorts."

Yes, 'Troll 2' is listed in ABOVE LINK: listing of films considered "the worst" (1990s films). Mention is made of 'Best Worst Movie' documentary.

Agree that Avatar is an awful movie, but sad because James Cameron is a brilliant film maker who makes garbage whenever he gets involved in the script.
