worst movies

Share the one's you don't like.

My all time worst movie still is Happy Feet.
It's currently the only movie i stopped watching part way through it.
I lasted 20 minutes or so because i could not believe how bad it was and i wanted to make sure i wasn't trippin'

I nearly walked out on terrible movie version of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
There was even a scene in it that is not in the books.

The last three Star Wars.
My kids wanted to watch them because of all the buzz.

Oh yeah i watched a few minutes of one of the first Harry Potters and have never watched any more of any of them.
So i can't express if they are horrible or not based on a few minutes.

Tim Burton's, Planet of the Apes and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Reservoir dogs.

I was not a fan of Happy Feet either. It was not that good of a movie. I was surprised that it made a sequal.

I did not think the first three star wars movies, or the last three depending on who you speak to are as bad as some people make them out to be. I will say the first movie seemed like it was really long, and Jar Jar Binks was too much of a stereotype to be believable as a relateable character. I did not like how characters just appeared throughout the movies with no actual story with them. Such as Dooku, Grievous, etc. I did like the third movie and thought it was really good and showed a good side to the vader/anakin. I didn't like how the force went from being about energy type stuff to being almost like possession. Perhaps to take the religious aspect out of it.

As for bad movies. Anything where Tom Green has a major role in it. I don't know how it got so popular at the time, but his movies were terrible. Such as his Freddy got... movie.

I'm not a fan of those horror movies where there killer has been shot, stabbed, lite on fire, and keeps on going. They just are not relateable to me.

Or the movies that are poorly written so they use a lot of special effects to try and compensate for the poor story telling. Like in Spiderman III.

I simply could not get into the sight of a tiny penguin looking like a retard whenever it danced, and the attitude of his parent(s).
And the overuse of pop songs to fill in the time for the story.
I stopped watching it after the scene where the seal lion came out of the hole to attack.
The demonic look of it's face seemed way over the top compared to the rest of it's body.

I did not like Kill Bill when I saw it at the theatres.
A fan of some of Tarantino's work, i was very disappointed.
But upon watching it again on DVD, Kill Bill I, II are in my favs list.
I get that sometimes. A first viewing and i will not like it, but upon a second one, i will change.

Same here.
I was somewhat shocked that Lucas decided to make the Force like some kind of bacteria that could be measured with a Star trek like tricorder.
And yeah, Grevious( the red devil guy with horns?)
A real badass character, but he shows up and then he's killed.
Sort of like the albino twins ghost people from Matrix 2,3?
Unstoppable, real story plot material, and , oh look, they're not unstoppable, they now dead.

I simply did not like the director's choices for dialogue and acting.
And his obsession with GC as opposed to those two things.
Yes, two and three got a little better, but the pleasure was few and far between the pain for me.

My son described a few scenes from a Tom Green movie.
I will never watch one.

Spiderman I was ok.
The first movie is always about the birth of the superhero, the transformation, so you've got to be pretty lame to stuff that up.
I saw the sequel with the black evil spiderman in it...did not like it.

Like Batman Begins. One of my all time favs.
But The Dark Knight, even though it has the brilliant efforts of the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, I didn't like the overall experience.

That is one of the main things that many people cite when talking about the first three movies of the Star Wars franchise. The usual answer is that he didn't really write the last three and had help and the first three were all him. Though if you look at it. There had to be some way to make Anakin the chosen one with the force. Symbiotic's would probably of been one of the only ways to accomplish that and be believable. And I agree that there is poor writing when you have these characters that are supposed to be tough and all, but then die in a quick fight. Like Whiplash in Iron Man 2. That was the only real bad thing with that movie. Was the build up to the final fight was not a good climax to the story.


There are not many people that agree with me when I say the same thing about The Dark Knight. I am a huge Batman fan, and I loved Batman Begins, and I am excited for The Dark Knight Rises, but I did not really care for the second movie. Heath Ledger did a fantastic job with that character but the movie itself just wasn't a complete package for me. I think it was too unbelievable in how The Joker was everywhere and had everything set up. It didn't seem relateable that he could accomplish everything in such a short amount of time. One of the reasons I don't watch many horror movies as they follow the same pattern.


More bad movies. Many of the Jack Black movies are terrible. Such as Nacho Libre, Year One.

If you don't pay attention to the plot holes in the Transformers life action movies they are not as bad as people make them out to be... Though I am scratching my head how he's making a fourth one and in doing that he will reboot the franchise... It does not make logical sense.

He's also doing a TMNT movie reboot where he is making them aliens instead of mutants.. And not teenagers.

For me, it sucked the mystery, the supernaturla out of it.
Instead of a wise old Jedi Master intuitively knowing if the force is strong in someone,
all they gotta do is use their Tricorder probe and a number shows up showing how much force one has in them.

I watched Iron Man simply 'cus of Robert Downey.
Didn't like the look of the sequal though and most likely will never watch it.

The Dark Knight...the slip into overexaggerating the gizmos.
Granted, driving on rooftops was a bit extreme in Batman Begins, and Batman hanging by the cable in the train sequence,
but there was too much in Dark Knight.
And Two Face was too humanly impossible. It's stuff like that that forces me out of the immersion of the movie experience.

I've only ever seen him as a lead in Year One and I still laugh at each viewing.
Have not seen any others as him as lead, though he's great in Enemy of the state, High Fidelity.(supporting roles)


Transformers was pretty good, but only for these two things...
Shia LaBeouf, of course. been a fan of his since Holes, and the humorous dialogue.

But seeing Megan Fox lying seductively on the hog in the second one as she was painting it was enough for me to stop watching it.
Really bad product placement. The product being sex.
And he's making a forth !

After watching The Island, it occured to me that Michael Bay is a master of the B grade.
Minimal story and character depth, obvious sexual innuendos, explosions, action.

Well I'm a movie LOVER , and really try to go along for the ride, disengage the critic for 2-3 hrs
and get my $7 worth ...... I
I've only walked out of one movie, but forgot which.

Terminators 2 was, IMO absolute trash , (if one is over age 12). I was hoping it'd get better and shoulda just left.
If Meghan Fox wasn't in it, I'd have passed on it , for sure.

Other than the Exorcist, it's the only film I truly regret seeing, but for different reasons, had nightmares for weeks after that one.

Hated the ending of "No Country For Old Men" ... as a writer I feel they betrayed the audience, with no real ending. A cardinal sin for screenwriters. Brilliant story-acting with no resolution.

Funny how people have unique perspectives, likes and dislikes.
I regard T2 as some of Cameron's best work.
A near perfect movie.
Me and my boy had watched it over 20 times.
My dawta, on movie night, would lament that we had chosen to watch T2 again.

No Country....ah yes, the non ending.
I do not recall what the ending was for this one, but non endings usually means, the problem remains, the baddie is never caught, some type of closure has not occured.
Well, that' the end of the movie, it's open ended.

But i empathise as I have enjoyed movies but was disappointed by the ending.

An ending, i speculate that some creators spend a great deal of time constructing as it's the last thing they want to convey to the viewer.
A no ending i interpret as the creators are saying this is not the end.
You have only witnessed a tiny part of a much longer story.

for me the worst movie I have had the misfortune to sit through was Eat Pray Love....... which says a lot for me because I like most Julia Roberts movies!
