The Worst Movies of 2024 according to Variety -- List your own as well

https://variety.com/lists/worst-movi...m_term=6431290
Poolman
Rumours
Reagan
The End
Lisa Frankenstein

Dogman
The Mouse Trap
Not Another Church Movie
Harold and the Purple Crayon
Rebel Moon - DC

These are from 2 writers from Variety
So feel free to list your own

Most of these movies I have never heard of. Opinions are highly subjective. Don't get mad or offended if someone doesn't like something you like or love.


My list:
Argylle
Out of Darkness - A "horror" movie that's boring
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - Boring and disappointing sequel
The Watchers
Agent Recon - Chuck Norris should stay retired if he gets more scripts like this
Despicable Me 4 - I'm over the Minions
Trap
Venom: The Last Dance - Despite some fun moments, it's easily the worst of the trilogy
Y2K - Dumb story that I would never re-watch despite some moments I somewhat liked.


If you have a really bad memory, here is a list of everything that came out in 2024

I'll cosign Frozen Empire based solely on how disappointed I was with the movie. I'm a Ghostbusters fan as much as any other '80s kid, but this most recent entry really did nothing for me.

I have become a ninja when it comes to being able to avoid terrible films. I only saw a few from in 2024 and I dug them all.

But did you really think Uglies would be even halfway decent? I spent most of the trailer thinking it was a parody production.

My wife loves self-admitted garbage YA stuff, so we just threw it on sight-unseen. I didn't really expect any of my listed movies to be "good", in all honesty. Continental Split I sought out in fact because I like so-bad-it's-good schlock.

I'd never heard of it so looked it up based on your list and was surprised to recognize one of the actors! He played the new husband/sheriff on the television version of the Dead Zone.

I watched Lisa Frankenstein for the horror challenge and can't really object to its inclusion here.

I can't really mount a defense of that movie, since I feel it was aimed at young women and not me, but I thought it was completely fine. In line with what I'd expect from something for young Millennials/old Gen Z female horror fans

I heard they were terrible. Part 1 was the best reviewed on RT, but parts 2 and 3 were critically trashed by reviewers and viewers.

I like the storyline from the live action CW shows when they did it a few years ago.

I bought the 1st 2 in the trilogy for $10 each on digital before I saw any reviews. So I shouldn't bother paying for Part 3 then? All 3 movies are actually on Max.

Gladiator 2 is probably the worst movie I saw in 2024.

Re: The Worst Movies of 2024 according to Variety -- List your own as well

I tend to avoid bad movies fairly well but every once in a while curiosity kills the cat and I can’t help myself but to watch some. A few of the notable worst are:

Road House - Not “bad” per se, just stupid silliness and not particularly entertaining.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - Pretty fucking bad. A Godzilla movie with Godzilla in basically a glorified cameo.

Trap - definitely the worst script of the year. Almost nothing in this movie made sense. Adding insult to injury, it was ultimately little more than a vanity project for Shyamalan’s daughter.


While not necessarily the “worst” my most disappointing of the year goes to:

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - A great cast, a solid premise, and a competent director all came together to make a forgettably mediocre movie.

Sorry, didn't realize it was 2023.

I guess the stench lingered.

To be fair, John Wick 4 was so long it’s possible that it’s run time bled into the next year.

So are you going to throw a fit and get mad when some here see it and actually like it?

No do you work for Disney or get paid by them?

It looks stupid and a movie generated by a algorithm by movie executives to hit all the right demographics and make the most money.
