Well I see there’s a new entry “Transformers” and it really transformed into a load of carp on the screen thank goodness the THX sound system at the Empire did justice to the Dolby SR-D mix but the film was a sorry waste of rubbish!

Blues Brothers 2000 thumbs down what a wasteful come back, what come back.

Batman & Robin holy batcarp this one really sucks!

“Pirates of the Caribbean dead man waste of money” for a crappy region 2 dish that is plagued with digital pixel errors, never will I buy this film again!


Oh and I like catwoman, meow.

LOL, Once a month is that so? Guess it must be quite popular around here.

WTF are you off your trolley no way “The Matrix” is not the worst film no way! I guess you took the blue pill then?

GuessWho

Seriously, I would've walked out of the theater during The Matrix if my ride didn't want to stay till the end.

Trevor

Me too!
In fact, I like 5 or so of the titles mentioned in this thread so far.
But I do agree with at least 12 of them as being the bottom of the barrel.

Trevor

That is interesting GuessWho. I think most would agree that the last 4 titles you mention belong in this thread, but The Matrix? I understand not liking the lead actor, or sci-fi in general, but can you at least appreciate the story, or the somewhat new filmmaking concepts? What I mean is, there are plenty of films that I personally dislike, but I see the merit of them as a film, and can see why others may love them.

Of course, one person's treasure is another's trash. See this evidenced on this forum at least daily.

The Matrix was okay, and I really enjoyed Mars Attacks! (Sarah Jessica Parkers head on a dog body fits in oh so many ways..).

The other 3 were terrible but even then, there are enough Skinwalkers, Gigli, You Got Served, Batman and Robin and The Covenent movies out there to ensure none of em make a real Worst Ever list.

LoPan5705

I still stand by in saying that the The Wicker Man is the worst movie of all time.

Michael Corvin

1. Wing Commander
2. Godzilla (Emmerich)
3. Hush
4. ID4*
5. Bad Boys II

*I'm sure I'll get flak for this one, but I saw a sneak preview a week before release and almost walked out. It was free and I still almost left. It was that bad. I've seen it twice since then and I still stand by it. Dreadful.

EmpireScreen1

ID4 was the biggest summertime smash hit of 1996, Godzilla might have sucked but I really enjoined it for Dolby film mix same with ID4 damn those films have thunderous bass and sub bass.

RichC2

Specify which version. Many hold the original as a masterwork, many hold the 2006 Nicholas Cage movie as one of the worst movies ever.

Michael Corvin

Yep. Smash or not I couldn't take the idiocy of it. I much preferred the smaller scale of the Arrival which came out a month prior to ID4.

I'm still holding out hope for Delvin and Emmerich. They haven't impressed me much since Stargate, but 10,000 BC looks interesting.

EmpireScreen1

I’ve heard that also I guess someone was desperate for a remake but why Nicolas Cage, that’s just so crawl to cast him in that.

I'll keep mine limited to the worst movies seen in theaters, and the quickest to recall those bad experiences:

The Patriot (2000)
Still the laziest and most insulting script I've seen in years (and I've seen Transformers).

Who is Cletis Tout? (2001)
All I remember of this is the most pronounced apathy after the credits rolled... absolutely nothing of any value offered, not even by accident.

The Recruit (2003)
Went in to see it as a time-waster. Sincerely using the line "we're through the looking-glass" dropped this predictable and pointless spy thriller to new depths in my opinion.

H. H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer (2003)
Worst documentary ever... even with a fascinating story to tell, the execution was worse than amateur and blatantly padding for time. This never saw a release for damned good reason. I don't even know how it got into the doc program I was attending.

Crash (2004)
The Last Samurai (2004)
Both of these featured muddled politics and nasty messages in service to a greater 'artfulness' as artificial as the emotions the filmmakers were so desperately trying to convey. I'll never pay to see a Haggis or Zwick film again.

EmpireScreen1

Arrival I’ve seen that good flick too. So what’s with this 10.000 years B.C. I thought there was already one called One Million Years B.C. with Raquel Welch!

EmpireScreen1

I swear I almost felt uncomfortable with “The Last Samurai” not sure if it was the Dolby mix or the on screen action, I hardly watch the film but one of Edward Zwick best was “Glory” 1989.

5. We Were Soldiers (I actually got in a fight with my own mother over how bad this was.)

4. The Haunting (1999) (CGI doesn't make a movie scary. When will the studios learn that?)

3. The Sweetest Thing (so bad I couldn't look away)

2. Escape From L.A. (It lost me at the horrible CGI shark attack - and that was about 15 minutes in.)

1. Freddy Got Fingered (No explanation needed)

LoPan5705

Yes it is the '06 version starring Nicolas Cage. Some more bad movies IMO are...

-Batman & Robin
-All the Right Moves
-Small Soldiers
-The Ring
-Alexander

EmpireScreen1

One my favourite films with “Snake” from 1996.

Yeah “Bruce” the shark doe make nice cameo appearance.

I remember getting a good laugh when Tom Green was given the LeBaron and was saying how he was going to "make him proud" and so on and then yells "Get the fuck out of the way!!!" to someone crossing in front of him and peels off. That was some good shit. I don't remember anything else from that movie.

kenbuzz

Hard to disagree, but it does have a nekkid Lea Thompson in it.

My five:
1 - Romeo Must Die (shame on y'all for not mentioning this stinker sooner!)
2 - Batman & Robin (hey look, nipples!)
3 - Staying Alive
4 - Howard the Duck
5 - Highlander II*

*Actually, there was no such movie. Anyone who claims otherwise was hallucinating.

The next five:
6 - Caddyshack 2
7 - Star Trek V: Final Frontier
8 - Catwoman
9 - Superman IV: Quest for Peace
10 - Gigli

EmpireScreen1

Did someone just mention “Lea Thompson” damn she was so hot in, "Howard the Duck".
