Highlander 3 is actually a sequel to Highlander.

2 was a steaming pile of poo, existing in its own Universe, completely unrelated to the Highlander world.

Source.... D:D:D:

Highlander 3 was bad, but yea not as terrible as 2 or source. I think source was the director's response to someone saying no one could make anything worse than 2 or something.

Dungeons and Dragons is probably the worst movie I've actually watched.

The only movie that got me pissed that I had actually watched it was The American. Seriously, halfway through I had the suspicion that nothing would ever happen.

I enjoyed that movie. Quite a bit, actually.

IMO Pootie Tang is the worst movie ever. Didn't even laugh once.

Whats the worst movie in your opinion?
Liar. That movie was awesome.
"he was the third man to get mauled by a gorilla at that steel mill"
Putting out a bowl of milk for the crazy woman.
Fighting people with a belt.


Starship Trooper 2 was HORRIBLE. I think I died half way through and Jesus was like "everybody dies, but this is not the way" so he brought me back as long as I never watch that movie again.

I'm not trolling BUT:

The worst film I ever watched in a theater was The Thin Red Line. It is generally accepted that this is a good to great film but I could not stand any part of it. It was so over-the-top pretentious and war-is-serious-and-insane that it just came across as schtick. Long long long shots of nature between battle scenes. Every character spouting 10th grade philosophy while reflecting on corpses. Awful dialog, scenes that didn't make sense, a convoluted and directionless plot and unsympathetic characters.

If it were a bad movie, I could accept it. But it was made out to be a good serious movie which meant that I take its failing more to heart. If I order a burger, I'm not disappointed with ground beef and probably pretty happy. If I order a steak, though, and I get ground beef, I'm gonna be pretty pissed.

Ive tried so many times to get through that movie and I never have.

My wife agrees with this. However she also thought at first that the movie contained no dialog whatsoever. Granted this was based on her and a friend going to see the movie in 11th grade skipping school high as can be.

I'm surprised that some of the awful Fast and Furious movies haven't been mentioned. They were pretty bad.

Manos: The Hand of Fate is largely regarded as the worst movie ever made.

I've only seen the MST3K version. I thought it was really enjoyable. It's as horrible and weird as The Room. Like every scene is a giant wtf. I read online that Torgo is supposed to be a demon or something with goat legs. I had no idea that was his deal. I just thought he was weird for no reason. The ending was surprisingly good for such a shitty movie.

How can anyone hate The Rock. Great movie, but I'm a Ed Harris fan...

I like Ed Harris too. It's not a problem with the cast (though Connery and Harris both totally phoned it in)

It takes something special before I'll give an action movie my seal of approval. I am not one so easily entertained, and most action movies are farcical.
