I was about to just put up a thread on Gigli but decided to put this instead just to see if there would be any other movie as horrible as this. So if there is anybody who have actually seen this movie please share with us just how bad it really is (also post as to why you saw it in the first place, you know given all the news).
To all the others, please post some of the worst films you have ever seen. Ever.
Not only would the snark be fun to read, but also you would be passing on some insightful advice to people, including me, for the next time we decide to rent some movies.
I'll start:
-Enough: I never wanted to see the movie in the first place it is just that my friend was a huge J.Lo fan (at that time) so she couldn't miss out on this. Think "Sleeping with the Enemy" but crappier. OMG, was it utter crap. The plot soooo didn't make any sense, the acting was hideous. I mean holy cow man, I didn't even pay for the movie and I still wanted my money back.
-Eyes Wide Shut: And I loved Stanley Kubrick, I really do but this just shames me to no extent. It was the only movie I have ever walked out on. Such needless nudity, mind-numbing score, slow-paced walking/talking/etc...
-Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle; I loved the first one but the producers decided to take whatever their focus groups liked and multiplied it by infinite for the sequel. It was too much; nothing was even remotely coherenet.
-A Beautiful Mind: I don't care if this did win an Oscar for anything, it was still a piece of crap. Oh yeah right; love can cure schizophrenia. My ass!!!
-Red Planet and Mission to Mars: Both about the planet Mars, both sucked. I am completely convinced that any movie based on Mars will suck. Just leave Mars alone people! In the latter movie it had an alien crying, CRYING!!!

- The League of Extraordinary Gentleman: Oh my God, was this a bad movie, 2 and a half hours of sheer boredom. It was so boring that it seemed like a movie aimed at older crowds, but featured laughable special effects and horrible costumes that make kiddy fare like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers seem like art. And, since when is Mr. Hyde a 600 lb. rip-off of the incredible Hulk?
Anyone seen Blue Velvet ?
It's between bad, and just plain weird and misunderstood. With a midget dancing on top of a car.

The Sword and the Sorcerer. C'mon any movie that says watch out for the sequel soon and never sees the light of day has to be bad. Dude, it's been like 11 years already!
Oh, and Mulholland Dr. Not a bad movie, it's just that everyone that's seen it can't explan to me what it was all about.
Charlie's Angels One of few movies during which I had the urge to leave cinema.
David Lynch's Everybody is soooo freaked out about him but I don't get them.
Mission Impossible 1 & 2 When you say "Yeah, right" 5 times in first 10 minutes you know movie will suck.
Matrix Reloaded WTF?
Mission Impossible 2 - Impossible to watch and live on.
Charlie's Angels - I thought I was in Hell.
Armageddon - I still can't forgive myself for letting this movie to grace my TV screen.
But I am a cheerleader - Just boring.

Probably my worst movie-going experience was seeing "Taurus" in Moscow - it is a Russian movie about the last days of Lenin's life - and it was so boring it was unbelievable...all 45-seconds-long pans of the horizon, of a field; everything moved so slowly and nothing was happening; they weren't even talking: as I remember it was Lenin in a room being tended to, then he decided to go for a walk/drive, he was in a field for a long time, then he decided to crawl somewhere, then at the end he talked with Stalin a little. There was hardly any dialogue and I was practically going nuts :gigi: I don't know; maybe Russians think it is a great movie; when I saw it, I thought I just basically had wasted my time. When I was in Moscow I saw some other Russian movies at this theatre that I thought were pretty bad, but they were bad in a fun kind of way, plus they had lots of dialogue, so that was good, I was getting a lot out of it regardless :D And I saw probably 3 movies that were good to really good, so it's not like I hate all contemporary Russian cinema ;)
The other horrible one, which is right up there, was "Next Friday" :gigi: We were supposed to go see another movie, I forget which one, and there was a problem with the projection so we decided to see that movie rather than go home...and it was really terrible, as I remember...I remember going to the bathroom and thinking, "I don't want to go back into the theatre, please don't make me sit through the ending." That's pretty bad, I think ;)

dumb and dumberer, its real dumb, and not in a funny way.
*POUT* Am I the only fekking one that did like Charlie's Angels?
On the other hand, I'm a lesbian, thus, I was practially puddling every time Drew Barrymore was onscreen.
I will never forgive myself for seeing Daredevil: the only thing that redeems the fhughing movie is that my very own velvet teddybear (whose name by the way is Michael Clark Duncan, god HOW I WANT a hug from him).
The Hours. The movie's not really bad but gosh is it slow.
Original Sin... the sex in the movie is good, the movie without sex is bad. LOL...

I saw Crossroads at the cinema. And I quite enjoyed it, albeit most of the time I only extracted pleasure from it by laughing at the clichйs. But Britney's acting really wasn't that terrible. However, it was the third film I'd seen that day, creeping about the back of the Multiplex on a ticket for some other film entirely. I wouldn't have handed over hard cash for it.
The worst film I've ever seen, without a doubt, was North - starring a very young Elijah Wood. Grrr. Not a single joke in that film works. In the main film there's no plot, Elijah Wood just travels the world meeting potential parents. Yawn. Whilst in the sub-plot some poindexter kid tries to take over the world. More dramatic, maybe, but they spend so little time on that plot that what he's doing makes no sense at all.
I remember that the main selling point of the film at the time was the chance to see Bruce Willis dressed as the Easter Bunny. Sadly, this was the highlight of the whole film. Look! A Hollywood hard man in a silly suit! Holly sodding bejesus.

I liked 'Charlies Angels', darje. I can understand your *aherm* situation regarding Drew Barrymore aswell! :done:
And as for everyone bashing David Lynch movies: just cos you don't understand them doesn't make 'em bad. Even if you can't follow the story you can still admire the imagery.
And I did actually understand 'Mulholland Drive' so it's not completely nonsensical. In fact, I thought it was a fantastic film! :D
All get back to y'all regarding what I consider to be the worst films I've seen. There's been many so it'll take me a while to remember them (I've tried to erase most of them from my memory!).

It'd have to be in the cinema to be a waste of 2 hours of your life and can't remember watching something really crappy and long in the cinema. It should be something real boring, like, say, Costner's Waterworld ;) or some other flop like that.
When I watch it at home it's not a waste of time though coz I get a sound hour of sleep :D
Oh , I think watching Star Wars Episode I had also the same effect...

I also thought it was a good movie... I didn't get it, but I liked it nonetheless!
However, nobody is going to agree with everybody when it comes to what constitutes a "great" film. So we are all going to get different opinions, each being as valid as the next.
On topic though, I absolutely loathed The Fight Club. The directing was inventive, I actually liked the way how David Finch portrayed gritty world underground boxing/fighting/whatever and also how he used his music directing skills in this movie, it really shows. But I hated the execution of the message.
The absolute, ridiculous defense mechanism these men used against society because of how their were insecure of their masculinity. And their reasons why to up their defenses are equally absurd.
What?
Because they:
- "were made to groom themselves fashionabley,"
- "had to have an appreciation for tasteful furniture,"
- "found out that they aren't going 'to be all that they can be'"
But winner for me was:
- "because they had no great war or depression to help them truly define what a man is really"
So in order to help them find out their latent masculinity they go through phases in their "club" ranging from shaving their heads, sleeping on dirty-ass matresses with no bedsheets, to beating each other up to a bloody pulp.
Grow the f*ck up children!
*Gasp!* Language. But yeah.
I better edit some more, for the children.

The only reason I sat through that whole thing was because I was on painkillers at the time.
I'll give you FOUR bloody hours of my life I'll never get back!
Gods & Generals
I'll admit, I did like a couple parts: The very few fighting scenes. It was ALL talking, I swear! Every scene was NEEDLESSLY drawn out. They could have cut at LEAST an hour if they didn't draw it all out. I mean there's an INTERMISSION.
I saw it in the theater with my friend because it was one of her history assignments. LMAO.
*sighs*
Made me want to go and watch it's sequel Gettysburg because it had ACTION and stuff going on. Plus Chamberlain was the shiznitz in the war.

Gods & Generals! too bad i'm reading that book as a summer assignment for school. heh the book's really not that bad though, but so much for watching the movie as well.
i like chamberlain in the book too!
mulholland drive i see more of as an extension that manifested into a film, where he plays with the nature of time brilliantly. as purely a film, eh not so much.
i love fight club. :gigi: the underlying message is, it's only after you've lost everything, that you're free to do anything. letting that which does not matter truly slide. its what the entire movie is based around, everyone letting go and riding their split personalities.:D creating mayhem is something else...:gigi:

How about The Last Starfighter? Or even dare I say, Return to Oz? I like those movies but then again I do have the worst taste.
Resident Evil did blow @$$. They had a good story to use but they so killed it. I own it though like many other old bad movies.
Oh I remember the worst movie ever now , Mario Bros. I heard that movie almost brought an end to video game movies.

I think "Mulholland Drive" was probably Lynch's best film although I'll be honest and say that I didn't understand it much at the end ;) "The Elephant Man" and "Dune" I like too so maybe I'm more spiteful towards "masterpieces" like "Blue Velvet" and "Wild At Heart" ( yeah, especially that ) It'd be off topic to explain M.D.? ;)
The problem with Dave ;) is that he started by adapting weird stories ( like E.M. ) but then he became plain weird :D
oh, I remember a French film where we left the cinema in the first hour , so it was only one hour I will not get back. It was called something like "A Sunday in the country"? yeps.
And it had won some award in Cannes, to think about it ;)
People in Greece bash Theo Angelopoulos' films for being slow and boring but I like them, especially "Ulysees Gaze".
But I think some American blockbusters can be particularly crappy

06-08-2003, 15:03
Ahem. Not at the cinema ;) , but I really didn't get why "E.T." was such a great movie. In fact I thought it sucked. Just stupid...
I didn't like "Titanic" either, but those are the sort of movies I just like to flow over me. Like "Charlie's Angels" as well ;) Sometimes they're OK if you're in the mood for a bit of fluff (or mindless entertainment, depending on the movie...). I think I've managed to avoid most of the really crappy US blockbusters, although I'm sure I've spent more than 2 hrs on some of them ;)
"Spider" was pretty bad. I guess it had a few redeeming features, but overall it was a waste of time. Plus it bothers me a little how foreign or arthouse films, even if they are HORRENDOUS, still get good reviews :rolleyes:

It would be off-topic and it may also take quite some time to untangle all the threads! I'll try'n explain it if you want me to though. :)

'Fight Club' is one of my all-time favourite movies............but when you describe it like that my perspective on the film kinda changes.
I think you misintrepreted it though. I don't think it's necessarily about men just wanting to act like savages and beat the sh*t out of things. I see it as being about people who are at the end of their rope and can't take much more of the souless existance that society has saddled them with.
I am Edward Norton in 'Fight Club' - I get up every day and sit behind the same desk 9 till 5 and then go back to my boring little house, fall asleep and get up to do the same thing all over again the next day. And the day after that. And the day after that. .... I'm about ready to completely shave my head and go beat the crap out of complete strangers aswell!! :bum:

"Fight Club" doesn't work for me either. The ending was interesting, the concept too but the movie was plain ugly and spiteful in visual sense.
I like the look of the film. I thought the way the sterile whites and greys of Jacks office and apartment contrasted with the murky interior of his and Tylers house and the old church where Jack attends his support groups. It was as if the director (David Fincher - who is also responsible for the awesome 'Se7en') was underlining the difference between Jack's parallel lives purely through the use of colour.
What else can you do in Scotland anyway? not much more than you can do in Wales..
There's plenty of living to be done in Scotland (or so I'm told), I'm just not a part of it. :(

I thought I misinterpreted too until I thought of some other films that best portrayed people sick of conformity; Easy Rider and especially Office Space. In the latter movie, the reasons as to why the protagonist goes against his company are things I can certainly relate to. Whereas in Fight Club the only reason why I think Pitt's character goes against the establishment, was because he didn't get all the things he thought he was entitled to. Which is pretty much all of us, but we don't complain now do we? So that pretty much makes me think he is just self-entitled cry-baby that needs a good smack of reality.
And I still think the fights were stupid.
Damnit! I just hate this movie.
But, of course, all that is just my humble opinion.
In other news:
Gigli was horrid. 'Turkey time! Gobble, gobble!'
I heard this quote so many times monkcheese and yet I still don't want to know under what context it was used for.

but it wasn't Pitt, it was Norton who went against the establishment, and he was a bit of a schizo, right?
So basically he went against the establishment cause he was a loonie, and that's the moral of the story. You'd go against the establishment only if you were a loonie :D

Umm, I can write an essay on that. LOL. I guess I'm just very picky when it comes to liking movies, even comedy. I think the setting is terrible. I know it was done in a mockery way. But it looked like it was done by a lazy (and lousy) set designer. I know that the storyline was intended to be unrealistic (which I think it was pretty cool). But ... too much of a good thing is bad. I just could not enjoy it. Repetition of some scenes got me really bored, too. And the characters were flat. What else? LOL.
I know it's not one of the worst movies I've seen. But I couldn't think of anything else for now. :D

Sorry, Spyretto, but you've just reminded me of the most boring film I've ever seen, ever, ever, ever. Theo Angelopoulos' 'Eternity and a day'. Watching it felt like it.
The oddest film I've ever seen was a Turkish one, one plotline of which involved some homeless guy stealing a peacock to eat. Most bizarre.

ok let's see Gigli sucked so much. I only went to see it because I had read a review that said J-lo's character had stayed true to being a lesbian. I wonder what drugs that guy was on? Also I wanted to see if she could pull off playing a lesbian and of course she can't.
Umm Gods and Generals... BORING! I wanted to shoot myself after about half an hour and then they had to put in an intermission. I was like just get on with it already. And from all the history text books I thought Stonewall Jackson was an interesting person...
The only movie I've ever walked out of was The Blair Witch Project. And to this day I still don't know the end. I was very disappointed by this movie especially because of all the damn media hype and the critics ranting and raving about how awesome it was, ect.
Side note... I loved But I'm a Cheerleader. maybe that's because Clea Duval is one of my favorite actress.
there was this one movie i rented recently cuz I love horror movies called "Legion Of The Dead". THe cover of the DVD looked pretty sweet. Lol only as the movie went on, it just became worse and worse. I don't even know how I came to watch the hole thing. Me and my friends actually were laughing through the whole thing, cuz of the horrible acting and story line. THe movie was not even a bit scary. Anyhoo, lol please stay away from this if you ever come across it. :spy:

hehe..oddly enough..i fell asleep while watching Exorcist...so when i woke up there was a scary scene..but i was too brain dead to realize what it was..lol..so i didn't find that movie very interesting either..
regarding Charlie's Angels..i liked it b/c i'm biased.. i like Cameron and i'm a fan of the old TV series.. erm.. yea..
the only good thing is the view and the rest *sigh...*

OMG yes, it was shockingly bad! Eddie Izzard as a totally silent henchman? What a waste!
Titanic - boring as hell.
Event Horizon - that was supposed to be a SF-movie but it was more of a splatter-movie, argh, I had almost nightmares.
And concerning Harry Potter: I've just become a fan of the books, and I saw the 2nd movie - I liked it.

1) Armageddon - Didn't "Meteor" teach Bruckheimer a damned thing? Space rock movies suck! My favorite moment was in the theater: There's this long, dull speech made by "The President" while the heroes move toward the space shuttle in slo-mo. Someone in the theater snaps and yells: WOULD YOU GET ON THE G_DDAMNED ROCKET ALREADY??
2) League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - The tragedy about this is the comic book is SO cool, especially Captain Nemo who is the "Batman" of the group (Gadgets, Super-Intellect, Shadowy and Mysterious.) In this movie, he's like Connery's chauffeur or something.
3) The Matrix - I know this film is loved by almost everyone, but please don't pounce on me. YES the fight scenes were intense, YES I got the whole philosophical conceit: We're all worker drones for this impersonal artificial environment... that describes my hometown in a nutshell. I may have enjoyed the film if it weren't for the fact that the characters were the most WOODEN, most PRETENTIOUS, more UNLIKABLE motha-fcukas ever written. I can only get into action films if the characters are COMPLEX or at least FUN to watch. Neo and company were neither. And Agent Smith? He ain't no villain! He looks like he belongs in "The Blues Brothers!"
4) The Phantom Menace - How can I put this into words? Oh I know! AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!! Yeah, that's about it.
It's a damn shame "Mystery Science Theater" isn't around anymore. These four film DESPERATELY need to be torn apart by the Old Masters.

movies like Mario Bros. , Street Fighter... and such I can't count.. my mind just can't process them properly as movies.. I just block them.. but Resident Evil was a maaaaaaaaaaaaaaayor fiascooo hated it soooooo much
also "XXX" i mean .. they just took james bond, mission impossible and x-games bounded them all together into one big Melangй and made a mockery of them.. the script was stupid.. I could watch it on mute though for the sake of admiring Vin Diesel ( I do think he's cute and that shinnig bald head of him is sexy)
2 fast 2 furious !! that was gross (I like the first one though)
Hey btw I liked charlie's angels.. cause I had a laugh, I found it funny.. I think cameron diaz is hilarious..
I hate every single movie that deals with space or other planets.. except "Apollo 13"
ok I agree.. The Avengers was sad...
Crossroads.. was.. no comments.. just a waste of time and energy.. AND $$$ !!
any movie by Mariah Carey or Madonna
Blair Witch 2
Jet Li's "The One" i just HATED it!!

1) Dead Ringers--an older film. If I remember correctly, it was out in the 1980's. So if your lucky, you don't even know what I'm talking about. I'll put it to you this way--my best friend worked at the theater so I got in free...and I *still* walked out! Just plain sad.
2)Children Shouldn't play with dead things--doesn't the title tell you all you need to know? LOL. It was my friend's idea to see it. It's a *bad* rip-off of night of the living dead.
It's interesting that Me am hulk mentioned MST3000. I *Love* that program, but years before it came out, every friday night two of my friends and I would look for films to rent that looked horrible so that we could laugh at them. Here are a few that provided much laughter.
1) The nail-gun killer--this one was so bad, that we based our rating system on it. One to five nails. A five nail film was so bad, that you laughed your ass off watching it.
2) Cannibal camp out--Wooden acting, a mind-numbing soundtrack ( I swear, they must have given a keyboard to a lunatic on acid)and a laughable plot made this one a five nailer.
3)The woodchipper massacre--Made by the same person who did Cannibal camp out. Interestingly enough, in both films almost all the people are related to the producer. Hmmmm...

This is the first movie I can remember falling asleep during; usually I just turn them off, but this time I was watching it with my brother and for some reason he wanted to keep it on, saying, "what do you mean ... this is great ... :laugh: " It was like a musical :eek: or something; the bad guy is a stocky guy with a big black beard and he keeps breathing heavily - like a trademark - I said, "heh, maybe he'll sing now too," and then he started singing :eek: I'm mean, I'm mean, I'm mean, you know that I'm mean. I mean what I say I say that I'm mean something like that :laugh: and I was :eek: and my brother was laughing, and kept it on, and I fell asleep - thank God :gigi:

Jesus, did that movie suck or what?!?? The dialogue was appauling! All that "bull/cow" stuff - who came up with that? And I'm sorry but what the f#ck is a "dyke-asaurus rex"?
Awful. Just awful.

Charlies Angels (Hmm, not funny at all)
Tomb Raider (I only watched it until the end cause Angelina Jolie was on it)
Umm, and there was this really crappy horror movie... Amityville 3 (or smth?) - :lol: It's soooo bad. Especially that part where the brother gets possessed and 'steals' his sister's "panties". :laugh: He's like "Look what I have here" with this really sick, twisted, devilish look... And she's like all innocent and scared "My pantiieess! But whyyyy?!?!" *scary background music* hahaha
Well I can't really remember a movie I've seen and really hated.
But after reading this thread, I remembered two of them: Harry Potter I + II. Only reason I went to see them was because my friends invited me, and I would at least spend some time with them.
TLFdk, :eek: Blasphemy! Who dares to not love Harry Potter?

I also thought "Sylvia," the new movie with Gwyneth Paltrow, was awful. But I like Sylvia Plath (and Gwyneth Paltrow), so maybe I was expecting too much.

Must have been all the hype about it that really ruined it for me. I thought it was supposed to be something really cool and it turned out to be a boring story with bad special effects :lalala:
Hermione and Ron are funny though. Perhaps the next movie will be better? :none:
TLFdk, you didnt read the book did you?
honestly I didnt like the movies a lot..the books are awsome though :p
Dances With Swords , I mean The Last samurai . OK, how many historical things can you get wrong in one movie? It hink this movie sets record for that one. How badly can you portrait foreign culture? Well, this movie sets yet another record.
And I knew this movie will suck but allowed to be dragged into seeing it. Some friends :bebebe:

I don't know if these belong in this thread, but whatever :D There are several movies that are popular, that have won major awards and critical praise, that when I saw them I thought they were terrible :ill: Has this happened to anybody else?
Movies like:
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
2001: A Space Odyssey
Schindler's List
Also, what I wrote earlier in this thread, about movies like "Taurus": now I can clarify, I can't stand Sokurov's movies :blabla: :eek: I don't know why, maybe I'm not old enough to appreciate it ;) ... although it isn't that I don't have patience, because I like Tarkovsky's movies, for example. I'm not sure what it is, or, on the other hand, why everybody thinks he's so great. But if you like his movies, "Taurus" might be something you'd like to see.
About 2001: A Space Odyssey I'll be interested to see if I think about it differently later on :D I started to watch it about a month ago, lost interest after 20 minutes, made myself keep watching until an hour had passed and then finally switched it off.
I liked this passage that I read a few days ago:
"I like the term "Phatic" dialog, which is dialog that conveys little or no information. This deadened form of modern communication features prominently in the film, 2001, and it is combined with brutish eating scenes, empty and impotent characters, Freudian Spaceships, apes that are human, humans that are apes, and a computer that is more emotional than the human beings it serves. There is so much of this stuff that I seriously wonder if calling the film merely "ironic" is enough. It seems to be getting awfully close to satire for me, and I confess I have watched 2001 and laughed all the way through (even more than I did for Clockwork Orange or Dr. Strangelove). [ . . . ]
The film seems also to have been collossally misread by the psychedelic generation, who were perhaps a bit too trippy to get the real jokes. "
I don't get stuck with too many trashy movies lately because I stop watching when I get bored. When I haven't seen anything interesting and realize suddenly that watching the movie isn't going to do anything for me - because to learn from something I think you need to enjoy it - I press "STOP," and for me, it's interesting, this moment always comes around 20-30 minutes into the film. The nice thing about this system is that you don't lose anything from the first 20-30 minutes; even if you hate the movie, for those minutes you watch attentively. And you can take a lot away from 20-30 minutes. :yes:
The last movie I saw that was pretty bad that I decided to watch anyway - although it was HARD, I kept looking at my watch :laugh: - was "Miranda."
