The worst movie you seen

Do not get me wrong, I do not mind Boba Fett getting his own show, primarily because it is more material for Auralnauts to spoof, but I digress... :P

 

Anyway, I am pretty certain that LucasFilm was the one to retroactively make a big deal out of Boba Fett following the release of the Original Trilogy: prior to the Disney acquisition, the character was not only featured prominently in Attack of the Clones, but also in the Legends expanded universe: for example, decades ago, I was playing Jedi Knight Academy and one mission revolves around fighting him; at the time, I was even less familiar with the expanded universe, so I was confused to see him being still alive after Return of the Jedi.

 

Right. I am by no means a Star Wars superfan. I consider them solid, entertaining movies (well the original trilogy anyway) and that's about it.

Same. I do like some of the expanded universe material (mostly video games), but to me, Star Wars will always be the Original Trilogy.

 

If anything, I would have enjoyed the other trilogies better had they been their own things and not even tried to adhere to canon - something that Star Wars still struggles with, if the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is any indication. And no, I am not referring to the fate of the Grand Inquisitor:

I like that christmas movie where a family father is fiercely determined to have a happy christmas eve, despite everything going wrong. Includes his lowbrow brother kidnapping his boss as a christmas present.

I am surprised no one has mentioned The Room. Sure, I like it ironically, but it's terrible movie because you don't care what happens to the characters when you are supposed to. All I did during this movie was laugh at it's sheer incompetence.

Yeah, they would be better off telling distinct stories set in the same universe. Which reminds me, I enjoyed Rogue One.

Or even have them be downright reboots.

 

After all, despite all its best attempts, Rogue One already does not make much sense as a prequel to A New Hope.

How is The Godfather a bad movie? That's your genuine opinion, I guess.

It's boring. Takes forever to get started, conversations drag on for so long you forget the whole point of the discussion, there are way too many characters to keep track of, in addition to who is related to whom, who sides with who, and most of all, why I should care in the first place.

 

Overrated as hell.

I haven't plumbed the absolute depths of bad cinema, but Manos: The Hands of Fate is a contender for sure. Poorly filmed and acted, nonsensical, heavily padded and largely devoid of good ideas. Even with friends, substances and/or the Mystery Science Theater version to help you get through it, it's a struggle.

 

A few other contenders for Worst Thing I've Ever Seen, off the top of my head:

 

Carnival Magic (a family film by a porn director, ohhh boyyy)

Godzilla (1998)

King Kong Lives

I think I saw that when I was like 10. It was pretty stupid, but most Chevy Chase movies are. Still, I liked Funny Farm much better.

I have never watched the movie and have zero interest in doing so. The bits I have seen are dull and I cannot fathom sitting through three hours of it - that's pushing it even for a movie I like. Also, I don't give a crap about gangsters. I don't like them. I am not interested in what makes them tick. For me to enjoy something, I have to like at least one of the primary characters. I would spend the entire three hours praying for the cops to show up and shoot them.

I saw Hercules in New York (1970) recently. It has to be, by far, the worst movie that I have ever seen. I cannot describe it because I am simply at a loss for words.

I was about to post that. Absolute fucking garbage with no redeeming qualities - it hurt to watch, it was worse than Foodfight! and Birdemic combined.

 

 

but see, Birdemic and Foodfight are funny as hell. the AVGN movie is not.

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

Yakuza Apocalypse, by Takashi Miike, probably my favorite director. A film about yakuza vampires that turn everyone they bite into yakuza (vampires). Highlights include a half-man-half-frog in a frog suit that summons a giant frog from Mt. Fuji, a woman who waters a human garden by squirting milk(?) from her ear, a kappa demon with unexplained smelly hands, a frogman stepping on a grenade that propels him straight up in the air, etc. Somehow this all makes for an extremely dull film, obvious meant as both an inside joke and an insult to the audience. Features Mad Dog from The Raid, who doesn't ever actually fight.

Let's see...

-Friday the 13th (1980)

Cringey and stupid even for the time.

-How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

Literally no one asked for this. And if that wasn't bad enough, it got its own crappy video game adaptation.

-Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

I get mindless violence is something we can maybe appreciate at times as Doom fans, but what about when it is barely held together with a plot that simply insults your intelligence while attempting to be both James Bond and Mission Impossible, while failing miserably at both simultaneously?

-Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

Okay, a lot of people love this movie, and that's all well and good, but I simply found it far too boring. I genuinely cared about no one in it, liked no one in it, and didn't understand much of anything that was going on.

-The Godfather (1972)

Made Scott Pilgrim seem interesting.

 

Dude friday the 13th (1980) is good but it's sequels are cool since jason's the killer, and there's freddy's dead: The final nightmare (1991)

The remake of child's play from 2019 was kinda good and okay but here's some of it's flaws

*Cheap jumpscares

*Unlikable characters such as Karen Barclay (Hell the 1988 version of Karen Barclay had better character development and she was likeable) Shane, he deserves to get killed by chucky.

*Stupid and idiot moves such as Andy Barclay and his friends wrapping up a watermelon with shane's face on it instead of reporting it to the police.

*Tons of plot holes

*the idea of a robot doll seeing things by mocking it dosen't fit well in a franchise about a doll possessed by a serial killer.

*Product placement Such as The texas chainsaw massacre 2 in one scene.

*a sequel bait ending with chucky smiling.

*Mike Norris being black instead of white ooohhhhhh blackwashing.

*Hell there's even more i missed.

also fun fact. There was toy story 4 parody posters with (Buddi) aka chucky killing woody and his friends also he killed annabelle from the conjuring.

Oh boy, today's the day I finally get banned from this site: I agree. Scarface did moral greyness and organized crime better.

I always rate a film on a ten star rating. I seen a lot of shit movies, but I've only ever given out six 0/10's those being:

 

Bela Lugosi Meets A Brooklyn Gorilla (1952) - Sammy Petrillo (a Jerry Lewis imitator) crash lands on a jungle island where an evil scientist tries to take his bran & put it into the body of a gorilla.

Necronomicon (1996) - An anthology film based on the works of HP Lovecraft

The Crucible (1996) - A film about the Salem Witch Trials

Just Ask My Children (2001) - A film about the Kern County child abuse cases

Terminal Error (2002) - A film about a computer virus that tries to wipe out humanity

Mystic River (2003) - Probably my least favorite film of all time

 

Most of these films are on this list because they deal with very unpleasant subject matter or have extremely cruel scenes in them. The only film on this list that is here due to just being bad is Bela Lugosi Meets A Brooklyn Gorilla, the plot is bad & boring, the 2 main actors are very annoying.

Let Me Make You a Martyr

nearly 2 hours of shitty people doing shitty drugs that leads to a shitty ending, pretentious garbage

[mrthejoshmon]

Let me just say I'm like an Arnold Schwarzenegger superfan, seen all his movies, have a poster of him on my wall and my favourite movie of all time is Commando.

 

However, there's 2 movies that he's done that are genuine garbage, that being Hercules in New York and End of Days.

 

 

Hercules in New York is bad for all the right reasons, it's some real goofy shit that just falls on its arse every 3 seconds and is absolutely hilarious when it doesn't want to be.

 

End of Days is just fucking boring, no clips here as it is just drawn out wank that overstays it's welcome about 15 minutes in.

[hybridial]

The only answer to this for me is Ex Machina

 

I never planned to see it, but ended up doing so whilst on a trip. Since I typically don't watch movies I feel I won't get into, I rarely see something I come out hating. That was the fucking Bioshock Infinite of movies for me. :P

 

Man of Steel and The Force Awakens are up there as well, and felt like the death of the wonder of cinema, but I think I have to give it to Ex Machina, my reaction was more visceral.

So... I don't really watch movies too much. When I do, if I'm not enjoying it, I usually just walk away. So my list of "Bad movies" is very short.

 

The Room: It's "Objectively" the worst movie. I enjoyed it because it felt like I was having a fever dream. However due to a lot of technical reasons like bad acting, bad writing, bad... everything, it's probably the worst movie I watched even though I liked it.

 

Thor the Dark World: I watched this at the cinema 'cause I got free tickets. I found the plot really confusing and jumpy lacking proper "beginning". I think that's because I watched it without watching any other Marvel movie. I'm not sure how I feel about multiple movies being part of a "Series" that you need to watch in order to get what's going on. Trilogies are okay but the MCU up to End game had a huge number of movies leading up to it and I don't know how I feel about that. I digress. Back to Thor, it felt like things kept happening. It was less like a movie to me and more like a series of action. "This thing happens." "Now this other thing is happening." "now this thing is happening"...

 

Man of Steel: The story made sense. It didn't feel confusing to me. This was also a "Free Tickets" situation so I couldn't walk away. The reason it's here is because other movies I've seen were better and if I was watching it at the TV, it wasn't something I would enjoy and would have walked away. My main gripes here is that it was too dark. I don't mean the Edgy dark. It needed brighter lights. All the scenes felt like they were happening in some dude's basement rather than... broad daylight. Also I grew up with animated superman so I DID NOT like the change in character design. Also it just felt chaotic and noisy for some reason. Maybe that's a detriment of the modern superhero movie market. My mom (who watched the movie with me), said it reminded her of the Shakespeare quote, "Life (in this case Man of Steel) is a tale, told by an idiot; full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"

 

Doom: I was excited to see the Doom movie but all the BS about 24th Chromosomes, aliens, martians... it was just too much and I turned it off halfway. The only reason I'm mentioning this here is because of the sheer disappointment it made me feel. I was hyped to watch it man. I love Doom. I thought I would be getting Classic Doom or maybe Doom 3 in movie form. No... we got this.

Food Fight is probably the worst I've seen

I would say the worst movie I have seen so far this year would be Seoul Station, the animated prequel to Train to Busan.

 

I do not know what happened or why they thought it would be acceptable to release a movie like that: weak plot with a random and rather mean-spirited ending, bad pacing, embarrassingly cheap and repetitive animation, unlikeable protagonists, underwhelming action and visuals... What is even more baffling is that it was directed by Yeon Sang-ho, the same director as Train to Busan, which unlike this slog is an all-around excellent live-action movie.

 

I hear there is a live-action sequel, Peninsula. The trailer looks promising enough, so here is to hoping it is closer to Train to Busan than Seoul Station...

 

Huh? I thought it was a pretty good movie. The ending is a bit abrupt, but otherwise, it was an effective Get Out-style romp.

 

While I get some of the criticisms against the character, I agree that he was not a bad character and both him and his performer Ahmed Best did not deserve the hatred. There are much worse things about The Phantom Menace and the Prequels in general than Jar Jar Binks...

Then you never saw the original Black Christmas. The message came across HORRIBLY in the 2019 remake and honestly made me feel very uncomfortable as a male. Like GEEZ not all men are bad. Black Christmas wasn’t even the right movie to get this message across. Nobody wants to see a Black Christmas movie for that kind of message.

That was never the message of the movie, which could not have been more explicit about it: you have one male character literally saying that before dying trying to help the girls fight the bad guys. There is also the protagonist's love interest as well as the bumbling, but well-meaning security guard.

 

But yeah, I agree that the movie should not have been called "Black Christmas", as it has little to do with the original movie and its reportedly terrible first remake. I guess it is a situation similar to Arkane Studios' Prey 2017, which had almost nothing to do with the original game of the same name.

As I am married I had to endure the 50 shades movies..  in the cinema no less... the second one had a scene so bad I actually couldn't stopped laughing. I eventually had to leave the cinema and cracked up as soon as I was outside and needed a good few minutes to compose myself 🤣🤣 never had another film make me laugh like that so maybe it becomes kind of good?? Lol

@Soon2bGlue If you have not done so already, check out Folding Ideas' excellent video essay trilogy on the subject as well as its genius theme song:

The first remake was actually kinda fun. Yeah the Prey remake/reboot was not very good. Wished we had gotten Prey 2.
