Thank you. No matter how bad Batman & Robin was, there is no way it was crappier than Jaws 4. That pile had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Some of these movies i haven't seen (Jaws 4, which makes my lucky) but out of ones i have seen "Batman & Robin".

"Alien Resurrection" looks like high art compared to B&R.

And it wouldn't be a talk about B&R without a Hooper X quote:

"They made your movie into a 90 minute gay joke, its like watching 'Batman % Robin' all over again!"

I didn't vote, because they all suck (except Alien Rez, which isn't nearly as bad as everyone says!).

i can't believe i own batman and robin. but the extras are facinating (the movie was planned as a big toy commercial!) if you've ever heard kevin smith talk about his expiereince on a new superman script, you'd wonder what the hell these studio execs were smoking (the giant spider always gets a big laugh out of me)

Didn't they have Mrs. Brody have flashbacks from Jaws 1 for events where she wasn't even present?

Rocky IV 's soundtrack alone brings it to mediocre at least.

I like only 1 movie from that list and it is Alien:Resurrection. Worst:Jaws:Revenge. Batman & Robin is HORRIBLE but I have to admit I have alot of fun making fun of it,and quoting the horrrible one-liners.

I'm guessing not that many folks actually saw Jaws: The Revenge.

I'm amazed it is not winning by a landslide!

ALien Ressurection. I actually enjoy the campiness of B&R. I mean the movie is pure crap though.

Same here. Batman and Robin is awful, but at least its so awful that its funny. I actually dislike Batman Forever more, having gone in with such expectations after Batman and Batman Returns. Schumacher turned Burton's gothic drama into a lame Jim Carrey movie that wasn't particularly well designed, acted, or scripted and no one seemed to be having fun other than Carrey. At least the cast of B&R seemed to be having fun with the overt campiness, especially Uma, and simply ran with it. Forever felt completely lifeless to me with the completely dead portrayal of Batman by Kilmer.

I think that's a common mistake. I assume you're talking about when Martin Brody and his kid are making faces at each other. She was actually standing in the doorway watching their little game. However, Jaws 4 shows the exact same scene as Jaws 1, which was from Martin's and the kid's perspective, so obviously Mrs. Brody would have seen it from another angle, so in a way you're right. There is no way Mrs. Brody could have witnessed what was shown in Jaws 4 because she would have seen it from another angle. Other than that the shark's death scene in Jaws 4 was just re used footage from the death scene in the original movie. In any event, it's probably the worst movie i've ever seen in my entire life, but I haven't seen any Uwe Boll movies, so who knows.

Yeah, as craptacular as B & R is, it's easily topped (bottomed?) by Jaws 4.

OT, but that reminds me of The Hills Have Eyes Part II where a dog has a flashback.

Yeah, Rambo IV was a joke...

anyway, i'd say the worst movie is Batman and Robin. while Batman Forever was horrible, there was still some way to salvage the franchise with a better movie.

BATMAN & ROBIN gets my vote, and I'm a comic book geek who loves Batman above and beyond all other heroes!

I'd be interested to see a poll that showed age ranges for those you enjoy/despise ALIEN REZ. I agree with Zombiezilla that's it underrated, but that may just be because I like the fact he has red on him.

Seriously people, did you watch the restored version?

Jaws 4 you can at least sit through when it comes on USA on a rainy Saturday.

ALIEN 4 had a ending like there was another movie on the way while the other movies didn't leave with a feeling like the story is not over yet.
The shlocky movie on the poll is SUPERMAN 4 because of the bad fx.

I love "Alien: Resurrection." I love every enry in the Alien franchise. The third and fourth installments took time to grow on me, but I've become quite fond of them.
With that said I voted for "Batman and Robin" mostly due to how frustrating it was. Such a huge franchise that started to sink with part three but then alarmingly crashed and burned with part four. With "Jaws" I feel that the fourth installment was horrible and laughable (and probably worse than "Batman and Robin"), but I expected so with a third sequel to a movie about a killer shark.
