What is the worst movie you ever saw?

Post Reply New Topic

The worst film I ever paid cash-money to see in a theatre was Boogeyman. Confusing plot twists and a dreadfully anticlimatic ending made me feel like demanding my money back...

Anyone seen Norbit? No, didn't thinks so.

Kindergarten Cop (painfully boring)
Jurassic Park
Free Willy
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (I am a big Star Trek fan but The Motion Picture does drag on can't watch that without falling asleep halfway through)

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Star Wars Episode II
Hannibal
Superman IV
Batman Forever/Batman and Robin

As the author of this thread, I'd just like to say thank you for making this probably one of the most discussed topics in the Television, Entertainment and Fashion section of the forums. I'm surprised one simple question could elicit so many responses.

I just saw Marie Antoinette last night and I'm NEVER going to see this film again! After seeing Lost In Translation (well, the first 10 minutes), I decided I would give Sofia another chance...she's never getting another cent out of me!

Things Wrong With Marie Antoinette
1.) Rock music in a historical film (what the hell!?!)
2.) Inaccurate costuming (i.e. colors too bright)
3.) Little mention of the French Revolution
4.) The ending: one of the worst ever! (Black screen...destroyed bedroom...black screen...end)
5.) The acting:

Maybe I'm just overreacting, after all my Master's is in French History, but I'm still asking myself why this film was even made. Oh yeah, because she's a Coppola, it can't be wrong! It's no wonder I wanted to see The Queen rather than this piece of trash when it first came out last year.

The Lost World (with Colin Farrell.) I want the 150 minutes of my life I spent on this back please. Colin bloody farrel sails to america, has exactly one fight lasting about 3 seconds which he manages to lose despite wearing half-plate and carrying a gun, faffs about in a corn field with some native bird for about a month, looking at the sky, then some people are ill, some other people get stabbed a bit in the most dire battle scene ever. Colin bloody farrel lies in a field a bit more.. goes home.. end. You want to know the Pocahontas story, watch the Disney film. its WAY better.

Alexander (with Colin Farrel again.) How did they screw this up? Mass battles, heroics, angelina jolie, anthony hopkins, brian "hawkmen DIIIVE" blessed even.. and what do you get? about 3 hours of farrel either mincing round in that godawful helmet (kill the design guy NOW.. break his drawing fingers for our sanity.) OR whining and moaning about loyalty and his bloody boyfriend like an emo. YES Alexander the Great liked men.. but I seriously doubt he was this kind of sadarse interior designer who spends more time crying than conquering. They managed to render one of the greatest (clue in the name) tacticians and generals and leaders of ancient times as Mr Humphries from are You being Served. Or maybe the Kings son from the " I built this castle.." sequence of Holy grail.

Philip of Macedon: [to Young Alexander] A king isn't born, Alexander, he is made. By steel and by suffering. A king must know how to hurt those he loves. It's lonely. Ask anyone. Ask Herakles. Ask any of them. Fate is cruel. No man or woman can be too powerful or too beautiful without disaster befalling. They laugh when you rise too high. And they crush everything you've built with a whim. What glory they give in the end, they take away. They make of us slaves.

Alexander: But father.. all I want to do is sing!! !! !

OR..

Brian "Butch Macedonian Wrestling Trainer" Blessed: You don't need much to fight. When you're in the front ranks of a battle, chasing some northern barbarian tribe. Courage won't be in the lining of your stomach Nearchus, is in the heart of a man. You don't need to eat everyday or until your full Ptolemy. You don't need to lay in bed in the morning when you can have some good bean soup,Cassander, after a forced night's march. Come on Alexander. Come on. Who'll ever respect you as king? Do you think it's because of your father? The first rule of war is to do what you ask your men to do, no more, no less.

Alexander: OOh you are a caution.




No. Just No. Oliver bloody Stoned more like. Buggered this franchise backwards.. I demand a remake.

Alexander should have been more like 300, but with men who have sex with men. (Clarification.. not being homophobic here, merely pointing out that effeminate homosexuals would NOT have got all that far in this particular society. Bear in mind that having sex with lads was considered a perfectly manly pursuit. It wasnt about paisley scatter cushions .. which i swear i saw in that film.. )

Finally (for now) Pathfinder (with karl Urban.) Not fair.. It should have been good. it should have been awesome.. but it wasnt. It was. a bit dull, nicked scenes from King arthur, and managed to make all the delivery cheesy (expected to a degree in films like this, but not so badly. if you're going to do Cheese.. do it with a wry grin, a la 300.) The Vikings were brutal though. Best bit really, with all the horns and axes and whatnot. Ill just clip those bits and watch them to a hard metal soundtrack I think.

"Batman and Robin" blew total ass. The original with michael keaton was awesome though, but each sequal got worse. "titabic" was such a stupid ass movie i couldn't even finish it.

Night at the Museum....I can't think of a movie in recent memory that I had more problems with...

also, i thought Ultra Violet sucked ass. All I could do is sit and watch her nose dissapear and reappear from scene to scene.

Alphaville
Rocket to the Moon
The Running Man
Gemini - The Twin Stars
Pet Sematary

Cant recall Batman and Robin at all, suggesting it really was crap. Titanic.. ahh, if only they had just stuck with the real story and not had that toss love story thing. The tale of that ship has everything a decent film needs and then some. it did not require extra made-up shite.

Ultra-Violet was basically a poor Equilibrium-meets-Blade, notable only for Mila Jovovich having a very nice ass, which spends most of the movie clad in skin-tight pants. No film will ever truly suck completely if it has that. The flaming sword fight was sort of fun as well.

Night at The Museum... mildly amusing no-brainer. Best bit? Steve Coogan as the tiny centurion, and owen wilson as the cowboy. They could have made the film involving just them, like a museum-based Borrowers, and it would have been fine.

Icheb.. Rocket to the moon? Is that the ancient black and white film, or some other film I'm not aware of?
Dont recall Alphavile or Gemini - The Twin Stars either. Running Man (if you mean the Swarzenegger vehicle) was just big budget cheese. I liked the exploding collar idea, and given the current fad for reality shows, a remake might work quite well. If memory serves its based on a short story by Philip K Dick (Bladerunner)?

Pet Sematary falls foul of the same issue a lot of the 80s Stephen King films do.. they just arent up to the standard of the books at all. Though that film is singularly responsible for my wearing of high-topped combat boots for about 15 years. (Chiild, scalpel, achilles tendon.. OUCH.)

The worst movie I ever saw has to be National Lampoon's Last Resort.
The worsr movie I ever paid to see is Cold Creek Manor.

I generally don't have to deal with anything reeking of that caliber, though there was that one time that I had to sit through Larry the Cable Guy pretending to be a health inspector in what was essentially a procession of lame cliche's strung together on some abomination passing itself off as a plot.

I walked out after about twenty minutes.
