[Tarantino]

I just watched The Perfect Score, and it was the WORST movie I'd seen for a long time.

What was the last bad movie you saw?

[Abranut]

While not the worst movie I've seen, the biggest disapointment for me in the past year was the Cohen's "The Ladykillers". I was really looking foward to it, and pretty much thought it sucked.

I see movies on video and TV all the time that blow. I watched Eurotrip recently, and thought it was shit.

I generally like Adam Sandler, but this movie was terrible.

After a year of being told by friends how funny "Super Troopers" is I finally relented and watched half of it. Good god... take me to "Napoleon Dynamite" NOW.

A Man Apart was the last terrible movie I saw.

The last movie I saw that I didn't like at all, but didn't really thing was terrible, was Hellboy.

Bad(der) Santa. Maybe the theatrical version was better? I was disappointed by it; it just wasn't funny enough.

Also, my girlfriend made me watch "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" once. I think my retinas are still recovering.

While it may not be terrible it is one of the worst movies I have watched on DVD this year. Not really sure what was supposed to be scary about this flick but maybe it was how much it wanted to be the Sixth Sense.

[Apone]

Harry Potter. I am not sure which one but it definitely left my brain mushy for awhile. :drool:

Punch Drunk Love. Probably the second-worst movie I've ever seen, after Very Bad Things.

[angryyoungman]

A second vote for Stuck on You. I've never walked out of a movie, and similarly, I almost never stop watching a movie I've rented. But I stopped it less than half way through--it was that bad.

Troy was pretty silly, though not too awful, and The Chronicles of Riddick was redeemed by non-stop hilarity.

I should have liked it as I live 30 minutes away from where it took place.

Liberty Standing Still

I was bored on a wednesday afternoon, and it was on MaxHD, so I had it on as background fodder whilst I wrote an article...allow me to say it was utter CRAP.

[Michael Corvin]

Watched Hellboy last week. Dreadful. I really wanted to like it too. The breakdown:

Ron Pearlman: Excellenct casting choice, was excellent at the role
rest of cast: bottom of the barrel. Not to mention lame supporting characters to begin with.
Story, the premise sounds great, the actual story was not.

I got up to play on the computer with 15 min left in the movie to go. Watched it later. Needless to say, it took a turn from bad to worse in the third act. Reminded me of the horrible turn the Hulk took at the end.

[B.A.]

Van Helsing

[DRG]

I've seen some bad ones, but the last TERRIBLE ones were:

The Cat in the Hat (was free, I still felt ripped off)
and
Legally Blonde 2

[tommyp007]

Since I don't get out to the movies much (prefer home viewing), i'm pretty picky about what i watch so I tend to shy away from obvious stinkers. that being said, I watched "the Sweetest Thing" a while back and that SUCKED.

Same thing, The Perfect Score. In fact when I saw the thread title it immediately jumped to mind.

The up side is I didn't watch the whole thing, only the first 15-20 minutes.

[Matt969]

Along Came Polly

[Mr. Cinema]

Hands down it was Van Helsing.

[Applejack]

Envy (Jack Black and Ben Stiller)

Maybe 1 laugh throughout the movie. I had low hopes for it, but went and saw it with a friend of mine who was going out of town for the summer before he went. Probably the worst movie I have seen in the theater in 10 years or so.

[DealMan]

Van Helsing

[Gyno Rhino]

The last TRULY terrible movie I saw was "Black Knight" with Martin Lawrence.

I've seen some stinkers since, but NOTHING like that.

[Zodiac_Speaking]

I wonder what the definition for some people are when you say "last terrible movie". To me, if a film has a flaw or two, doesn't mean its horrible. I also wonder if people have such preconcieved ideas on what a movie is going to be like and when it is not, then they say it sucks.
Here's my breakdown (for those of you who care):
C to C-: okay, average, but failed somewhere either in execution or behind the scenes (script, casting, overall product)
D+ to D-: Severly failed in almost all areas. Little saving grace.
F: Literally compared to or maybe even beaten by backyard filmmakers.

I see some people are saying Spidey2 or Hellboy sucks. Why? B/C it was a two hour fight or you had your own idea of what it should be? To me Spidey2 is one exception here that shouldn't even be discussed here.
Some of my grades for some of the more popular movies discussed:
Spidey2: A-
Hellboy: B
Hulk: C+
Van Helsing: C
Riddick: B-
Dreamcatcher: C
Along Came Polly: C

Catwoman is the worst film of the year. D- And I even seen Battlefield Earth at the theatre, which I thought was better.
But to each their own.

For me, I finally got around to seeing Kill Bill (Vol 1) just a few days ago. While I think it started off well, it was ultimately pretty stupid IMHO.

[eXcentris]

Hellboy, and before that Van Helsing. From now on I'll be avoiding any movie with 'Hell' (or 'Hel') in the title.

[tdilia]

Saw Battlefield Earth on cable the other day. Never seen it before so I thought why not, let's see what's so bad about it. One of the worst movies ever. I could not believe how bad it was, turned it off after about 15-20 minutes, I wanted to reach in and rip my spleen out.

[sundog]

I've only seen 4 movies this year (out of 133) that rankled me, 2 at home, 2 in the theater:

H. H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer (2003)
Only reason I saw this was an urge to at least catch a few programs in this year's Chicago International Documentary Film Festival. And the director would be there to talk about it. But man, what a piece of crap. It was like E! True Hollywood Story for serial killers: full of piss-poor production values, endlessly recycled images, erroneous testimony, and a dourness that made it laughable instead of tragic. Seriously, it looked like the filmmaker used photos xeroxed out of library books. Information-wise, it barely held up to the content of a Yahoo article (and I don't mean to denigrade Yahoo either).

The Death of Klinghoffer (2003)
Who can translate an opera to film? I really want to know. Because the few I've seen have absolutely no visual panache or desire to use the elements of film to complement the opera content. Sure, the singing should remain, but please add some depth to the cinematography, or mise-en-scene to the set pieces. I'd rather the performance be filmed on-stage than restaging it with a visual style that makes paint drying exciting.

Underworld (2003)
Kate Beckinsale in leather is promising, but even that distraction couldn't save this mess. Excluding the story and plot and focusing on filmic elements alone, this movie is just dull dull dull. Far too much blue and dull and far too transparent action scenes (didn't mind the unreal CGI, just the bland staging) undermine Miss Beckinsale's fine leather-clad figure.

Strip Search (2004)
Detestable preaching hiding behind a too-thin structure premise that doubles the amount of eye rolls rather than provide any illuminating insight into "parallel" policies. And if I want to see Maggie Gyllenhaal naked I have Secretary on DVD. Edited to add: Oh, how could I forget the ridiculous framing device of ignint students "discussing" giving up their freedoms.

[Big Quasimodo]

From Justin To Kelly

Now seriously, y'alls movies were not so bad.

(Fortunately, I saw it in a theater full of crying babies, so that helped!!!)

[Deadman31]

Ted Bundy

This movie plays on one of the Encore channels every now and then. I don't know all of the facts about Bundy, but this movie makes him look like a goof.

it was really the last quarter of the film that took a swan dive into extreme silliness/absurdity/stupidity - the film tripped onto itself and got all art farty pretentiousness that seemed to come out of nowhere, it was enjoyable up to that point.

I watched Tremors 4 for about an hour the other night - simply out of shock. Didn't know the movie even existed. Wish I could get back my innoncence.

The last terrible movie I saw on DVD was "The Missing". Came to the conclusions that I simply hate westerns and will never watch another one. :)

When your best scene is an underwater fight between a zombie and a shark (entertaining in a "what the blue **** am I watching" kind of way), you've probably got some issues in relation to your film.

If you mean that it was the worst of the Harry Potter movies, your right. Not the worst movie ever, but the weakest in the series. I was very, very disappointed.

[Panda Phil]

I might get beat down by the old-schoolers for this, but I'd have to say TRON.

I misse dit in the theater way back when and for years I've been told what an amazing film it was. But after watching the DVD I gotta say that while visually it's quite amazing, the story was pure incoherent crap. I've met 12 year olds that could've come up with a more coherent story.

[scott1598]

hands down..."Hellboy"

I had such trouble getting through the whole thing. The same scene repeated over and over!! It was excruciating and I was hoping for the best in this one.

[movieking]

While it may not be the worst movie of all time (I truly believe that it is up near the very top, with Patch Adams, Hanging Up, and Remo Williams, to mention but a few), Catwoman is the most recent terrible movie that I have seen.

[Jamezuva]

Not a lot of you have probably seen yet alone heard of this one, but Kaena: The Prophecy, which is a fully computer animated film ala Final Fantasy, was one horrible piece of junk. You'd think they'd spend more than 10 minutes on the script before plunking down a wad of cash for the CGI

[eisenreich]

Crossroads...
On a bus trip to NYC, they popped it in and the sound was so loud I could actually feel Britney's annoying voice slicing through my brain. I prayed the whole time that the bus would crash and I would be put out of my misery.

[Willh51]

Extreme Ops like Thanksgiving 2 years ago was the worst, and gosh did it blow hard. I also have hated My Boss's Daughter recently and Club Dread. The most recent was Timeline, it was so stupid, boring, and awful. I was also disappointed in Spiderman 2, but by no means is it a bad film.

I know this probably isn't a popular choice (in fact, this is it's first appearance in this thread) but I really truly deeply despised "In America" Felt nothing for the characters, hated the direction, and I hated the fact that in the very first frame that Djimon Hansou was in, I knew exactly what purpose his character would serve, and what would end up happening to him.

I second that.

It was the height of "lazy filmmaking" if you ask me. While I can not speak of anything good about the film, I could go on all day about all of the bad aspects.

I rarely "HATE" a film, honestly. If you knew me, you'd know that when I go to view a film, it is in my nature to look on the bright side of things. If I hate one aspect, I will overlook it as long as there is enough good there to focus on. That can not be done with this film, for me, however.

There just isn't anything good there at all to hold on to.

I'm really suprised in some responses, I liked quite a few of the ones you guys mentioned...lets see, Secret Window,Bad Santa,Spiderman 2, The Village, Hellboy,Radio,Starsky and Hutch.

But a couple that were terrible that come to mind....

Van Helsing (fell asleep in theater), Along Came Polly, Hulk

As much as most people hated The Village and as much as I liked it, different people just enjoy different things, I don't wanna say this but I'm sure...well nvm I know there are people out there who liked Van Helsing,Hulk,Catwomen etc...

That was just on my mind

[Sparrow]

I know that is contrary to popular opinion, but Shrek 2 was absolutely awful! I was so put off by the recycling of the story, with the exception of puss in boots (which again has been overrated). I think that I've grown weary of sequels, I want some originality...I don't even know what I expected of this movie, but it was a huge disappointment, nonetheless. 1 star.

[Get Me Coffee]

Add another vote to Village!

[dhmac]

The Punisher (although it got some things right, the lame sitcom-y stuff with the Punisher's neighbors and the overall bizarro plotting really sunk this one)

Jersey Girl* (the little girl was good, everything else wasn't)

Starsky & Hutch* (I love Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson, but this disappointing comedy vehicle was poorly written through-and-through)

The Chronicles of Riddick (the more I think about it, the more stupid it gets)

[*saw both on a personal video screen on a plane. Scooby-Doo 2 was also playing and if I had watched more than 1 minute of that, it would definitely be on this list.)

The Village is the most godawful film I've seen in a while. I have seen mediocre, but I'm usually pretty good at avoiding the stinkers. The one upside is that I am more excited for Lars Von Trier's Manderlay, because despite it all, Bryce Dallas Howard was very good.

[Willh51]

Well, my new one is the Village. It was absolutely the cheapest exercise in marketing and movie making... that is all I will say about this one. Please see Manchurian Candidate instead...

The director did a shitty job. The first two Potter movies were better. At least he won't be back for Goblet of Fire. Prisoner is my favorite Potter book and (whatever the director's name is) did a lousy job. It's not a terrible movie but very disappointing compared to the first two.

[Quatermass]

The Terminal- extremely weak plot, absolutely no chemistry between Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones and I don't think anyone involved in the making of the film has ever been in an airport.

Last terrible rental: Stuck on You

[Geofferson]

I too will update my comment to say The Village. Saw this over the weekend and found very few redeeming qualities in it.

[dyevin]

the last two were dreamcatcher and paycheck. both are probably the worst movies i've ever seen, not just recently.

I had said Rollerball (2003) but I just watched Hellboy and that has taken the spot as the last terrible movie I saw.

I completely agree. Cuaron, in "streamlining" the story, was able to more fully capture the magic of the books, actually creating a worthy piece of cinema. I was bothered by a few of the story points left out the film, but overall I think almost everyone involved did a great job. It was much more satisfying than the first two films, both as book adaptations and as films.

The worst film I've seen recently would probably have to be "Paycheck" - an awful mess of a movie that was a disgrace to the author's name.

[Scott Weinberg]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - I'd never seen it before and was looking forward to it. Holy moley is it a lifeless mass.

Pearl Harbor. I'm sure I've seen plenty of bad movies since I saw this one when it first came out... but you know, I see it like this... Let's say you survive being stabbed multiple times, and then over the course of the next few days, stubbed your toe a few times... Now, if someone then asks you what the last bad thing that happened to you was, your mind would probably jump to the whole stabbing thing. I have a feeling my answer to this question will be unchanged for a long time.

[The Bus]

Without a doubt, Dead Birds. I have no idea why "The Internet" is so hyped up about this movie.

[Ketamine]

Eulogy - Pretty good cast, extremely boring movie. The actual film time of 80 minutes should be the first clue as to the quality of this film. Skip it.

[Giles]

Dear Frankie - no chemistry, dreadful bland photography, the filmmakers/scriptwriters treat the audience as well as it's protagonist as complete idiots.

[Drop]

Resident Evil: Apocalypse - I figured they could only improve on the original (which I liked somewhat), how wrong I was.

Honestly...how does Uwe Boll continue to get work? I guess that's another topic for an existing thread. ;)

Better of Dead. My cousin rented it because she likes 80's teen movies. It was soo bad.


yeah, I really didn't like that one either......although the drag racing bit with the dude from Karate Kid II doing the Howard Cosell thing was pretty good.

[Michael Corvin]

i couldn't get through "Sky Captain..."

me neither. Although it wasn't terrible, not like say Anchorman. Which would be my "current" last worst movie seen. And this coming from someone who watched Wild Things 2 recently. :eek:

[LBCrazyFool]

Most recently Catwoman and Elektra.

Same here, except I didn't even bother to give Catwoman a chance.

I guess I'm more forgiving on movies than most. I'm surprised at the level of dislike here for movies like Van Helsing, Hellboy, and others.

I view movies as forms of entertainment first, artistic ventures second. If the movie entertains me, I'll give it at least a pass (no criticizing). If it doesn't, then I'll criticize it. If it's filmed well with good cinemaphotography, I'll praise it there as well.

For films like Hellboy, seeing how most of the criticism for that film are prior to the DC, then I can understand where the dislike comes from. I didn't really care for the TC myself either. It wasn't until the DC and some minor fleshing out of the story and characters did the movie finally make more sense.

I recently watched Elektra and thought it was alright and it entertained me once the action began in the latter half of the movie.

My theory is that if you don't like a certain genre of film, don't watch them. I see a lot of people didn't like Anchorman. Well, being a comedy, that's not one I'd watch anyway. Especially a Will Ferrel comedy.

Now to be honest, some of those late night soft-core porn flicks are pretty bad. One that comes to mind is "Bikini a-Go-Go". It's sort of a spoof on Terminator. Really cheesey in that part. Sex scenes aren't even really that good as the plot of the movie revolves around this pendant necklace that supposedly makes the wearer extremely horny.

I'm pretty forgiving as well. A movie usually has something redeeming, but in the case of Anchorman, it was billed as a comedy and starred comedians. It didn't make me laugh once, not even a slight chuckle. Therefore it failed on what it was trying to accomplish, completely, and therefore one of the worst movies I have seen of late.

As for Hellboy (I posted earlier in the thread), it had redeeming parts but on the whole it was pretty bad. I saw the TC, btw. Bad enough to warrant not even bothering with the DC.

I agree, I thought the trailer looked mildy amusing, but boy was I wrong, a complete waste of my time.

I think I'd rent the DC for a look see, but the pacing of the theatrical cut was attrocious - I actually fell asleep on it, and if an action movie did that for me, it's failed.

Open Water :yack:

[Cyberock]

Another vote for Elektra and Catwoman. Has there ever been a good movie about a female superhero or comicbook character as the lead?

Ghost World...you did say character.


Elektra and Alone in the Dark for me.
I'm a forgiving guy when it comes to movies....but these were just two hour exercises in sitting still.

[attrition]

Shark Tale . *shudders* I had to shut this off after 30 minutes. Will Smith as an animated fish went WAY over the top with the "Yo dog...!!", "Wooord!!", etc talk; it was so annoying that his voice still haunts me to this day.

[Cygnet74]

I make it a habit to avoid bad films so I haven't seen the big winners in this thread like Catwoman or Elektra. but occasionally one does get by my radar. the last time that happened was Open Water. and before that Troy, although it shouldn't count because I didn't want to see it, but went with someone who did.

I am hoping Wonder Woman will change that, we will have to wait and see.

[shizawn]

Sky Captain was pretty dumb, and I didn't like Garden State much at all, but neither film was terrible.

I guess I tend to forget about the truly awful movies I've seen.

[Willh51]

Half Baked...

I hadn't ever seen this until recently and it is complete garbage. Why are there so many fans of this? Except for the Bob Sagat cameo, this was 83 minutes of boredom and unfunny weed humor. Guess you have to be high...

[MovieMaster11]

Shark Tale. I loved Nemo but I fell asleep in this movie at the $1.00 show, it was horrid.

[Giles]

Shark Tale was bad, because it was so entrenched in bad stale jokes, a predictable boring story and unimpressive CGI effects.

[Gunde]

National Treasure.
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil! :mad:

[BiMonSciFiCon]

I watched some of that madonna movie Swept Away recently - I had to turn it off b/c some of the neurons in my brain started imploding

[Rypro 525]

i personally don't think elektra is all that bad.

anyways the worst movies that i have seen recently are dogville and body shots.

[dmpre99]

White Noise... sigh... depressing just thinking about it

[cfloyd3]

Spartan, Napoleon Dynamite seem to be in equal company for me.

[SomethingMore]

Anarchist Cookbook, though it may not count because I had to stop it within 40 minutes because it was just THAT bad (I haven't stopped a movie half-way through in years).

Other than that, I don't think I've watched a terrible movie in quite some time. Napoleon Dynamite might be the most recent one, and that was quite a few months ago.

[The Bus]

The last movie I couldn't finish was the awful Beloved. Awful, awful, awful.

I've "walked out" of movies that have been playing on TV, but I never had planned to see them in the first place. I also fall asleep often, since 11:30PM me is more interested in a movie than 12:15AM me.

I have yet, to this day, never walked out of a movie in the theatre. I'm also pretty good with the choices I make, so I never see anything real bad at the movies.

[RocShemp]

I though Elektra was decent but certainly not terrible. It's just not a movie I'd ever recommend.

I'm surprised to see Hellboy and Spider-Man 2 mentioned here, as I thought everyone in this forum loved those two. Anyhoo, I really like them.

The last terrible film I recall (I tend to block them out) was Princess Diaries 2. I love (and own) the first and think it's a rather charming, if simple and derivative, little film. So Was looking forward to the squel to much. Heavens did it suck! Even John Rhys Davies sucked! The only good parts are during the last 40 minutes. That's when the sequel becomes what I was hoping it'd be. Unfortunately you have to trudge through an hour of crap that is all poorly recycled from the first. And why does anyone think Raven can sing/act?
