Worst movie ever?

[KeithTalent]

I enjoyed that movie. Quite a bit, actually.

Yeah I liked it a lot too. I love the pace of the film.

The Help
Hugo
Midnight in Paris
Moneyball
The Tree of Life
War Horse

I almost laughed, almost.

Going Overboard - early Adam Sandler movie. I like Adam Sandler in general, so it's not just a Sandler troll. The movie really is completely wretched and hard to even finish, and I usually like stupid comedies. Just looked and it's at #42 on the imdb worst movie list.

The Pest. John Leguizamos worse movie ever. Plus its just really fucking bad. And I like him too.

I really disliked Napolean Dynamite. Coupled with its hype I sat through it in 2 showings because I had to take a break. I was hoping that something would happen that would cause me to go "OH that's what everyone was talking about'. It never happened. The move was a snorefest through and through and nothing happened.

Grave of the Fireflies is up there for me. Fucking hate that movie.

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.

it is one of the greatest films ever. Terrance Malick is not accessible to everyone, and certainly not the most casual of film goers, but this is one of his most brilliant films.

His is a highly narrative structure and very unusual for the typical film. One has to approach his stuff with a different mood, and very different expectations. The dialogue is in fact, absolutely brilliant and far beyond what you might expect from some high school pseudo philosopher.

But yeah, if you went in expecting "Bang-Bang-Shoot-Shoot War Fucking Rocks!" then you would certainly be dissappointed in encountering something more cerebral and relevant than the typical fare.

How can anyone hate The Rock. Great movie

it's easy to hate a horrible movie.

Ah, this was about The American.

it definitely wasn't what I expected--I thought more fast-paced spy type flick, but then I didn't know anything about Clooney's character before going into it. Understanding his character, the film and pacing is quite perfect.

i said the happening 9 months ago, and i sitll agree with it.

but i also am adding Little Nicky.

I agree...that was terrible. Nothing was as bad as as Master of Disguise, which was so bad it became good.

Well the advertising for the film was WAY off. They marketed as a fast-paced action/spy flick and it was obviously not that at all. Likely why so many people hated it.

oh that just reminded me of another movie that can be tied for worst movie ever...

Lady in the Water

it's trailer was totally misleading about what type of movie it was, and on top of that, the movie was just fucking awful, just like all of m night shamalayamama's movies.

 

[slayer202]

I don't get the M Night hate. The sixth sense wasn't that great. His other movies up until The Happening(which wasn't good, but not as bad as most people think) are all decent and pretty thrilling. Better than most mainstream garbage

I agree except for Lady in the Water; pb0 is right on about that one. I also hated The Happening and Last Airbender, but I've liked most of his other films prior to those.

You're all wrong. Worst movie is The Hangover.

There is something wrong with you.

yeah, I think that was the big problem with its reception. Most people were expecting something like Ronin, but got The Conversation.

Well see, that's an expectation that you needed no trailer to mislead you on.

Worst of all time

Over the Top

WTF a movie about arm wrestling?? Also the kid was a whiney little biatch, so annoying.

Posting it twice in the same thread doesn't make it any more true. Bad movie? Maybe. But worst movie of all time? I don't think so.

Demon Child 666

It was so horrible I couldn't stop laughing!

 

[Sixguns]

Watchmen, I cant believe I wasted 3 hours of my life on that.

I loved sixth sense. He captured the atmosphere extremely well. Unbreakable and signs were pretty good too, but they are not mainstream movies.

look at the budgets and revenues and say they aren't mainstream movies ()

I enjoyed The Village and Signs the most. I didn't mind Lady in the Water. All of his movies are "stupid" but it's the atmosphere that you mentioned, and the tension that he creates, that makes his movies fun. I don't think The Sixth Sense stands out from the rest. His latest stuff has gotten worse though
