Most Terrible Movie You've Seen
I was re-watching Strong Bad emails and got inspiration for a topic.
(I love HstarR, and yes my wallpaper is Monkey Island related.)
What is/are the worst movie(s) you've seen recently? I don't mean movies that would otherwise be good if not for a few things wrong with them. I mean movies that have no redeemable value and are completely FAIL.
The last really terrible movie I've seen was when my Dad and I went to the theater to watch a movie and didn't plan ahead to know what was playing at the time. We looked through the theater's guide thingy that describes the movies it was showing and I read about "No Country for Old Men" and how it had won Academy Awards.
Let me tell you. It's so horrible, I even won't bother with spoiler tags. The bad guy who is killing everyone lives. The protagonist dies in a fight with the bad guy that you never get to see, you only see the police in the movie walk up to a hotel room and his body is lying there. The cop that is investigating the situation quits before ever tracking down the bad guy. Also, neither the main plot nor even an introduction to what the protagonist's name is... neither happens until like 30 minutes into the film.
I hated that movie. It's a testament to how misleading getting an award can be.

Though, nothing is half as bad as the crap Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedman put out. I think they've cleared "terrible". They've come close to creating a new genre: "comedy horror: or comedy so bad you'll think it was a horror movie".
As for me, "Pearl Harbor" was the worst movie of all time.
Saw it for free at a private screening before it came out, and I walked out feeling ripped off anyway
The action movie, where there wasn't anything going on but boat chases?
I'd heard so much about how bad it was that I had to see it for myself (which I did about a year ago) and it blew me away!
A master class in bad movie making.
However, I loved No Country for Old Men!
Sure, it's suspenseful, as the bad guy is following the case around that the good guy has but you never get a payout from that. The good guy dies after the story follows him for so long and nothing ever comes of it. The movie never even explains why the good guy is out in the middle of nowhere to find the money from a drug-deal-gone-bad in the first place.
It's hard for me to pick the most terrible movie I've seen, because I've seen/own a LOT of terrible movies. But I think the winner would have to be the godawful Dungeons and Dragons movie. This motivational poster just about sums it up.
How did you not like no country for old men?!?!
At least you have Richard O'Brien and Tom Baker. Also my mates aunt did the costumes for that film...or maybe it was King Arthur, but it sucked anyway
Richard O'Brien and Tom Baker are the reasons I actually own the movie.
While I don't think it's the most terrible movie, Avatar was somewhat weak for me (please don't kill me!!) but visually, I loved every moment of it. It was breath taking and just awesome to see in IMAX 3D no less... but plot wise....good the first time, very boring the second time. Not something I'd rush out to go see again.
And, this might come as a shock for some here - I also really hated "Pan's Labyrinth".
Honorable mentions: "Beowulf" (the 3D one), "Night Watch", "Public Enemies"
np: 2562 - Basin Dub (Aerial)
You just made me rage, Jumper was bloody apalling
Thank God. I was about to think I was the only one on here who didn't like it.
guys, face it: it has no plot, no jokes, and was sloooooooooooooooooooooooowwwweeeerrrrrr thannnnnnnnn meeeeeee sayinnnnnnggg thiiiiiisss senntannnnceeee. It had one funny moment and that was when the cow was shot in front of the school bus.
though I have to admit, I kinda liked the dancing
Tiá Dalma is Calypso, goddess of the sea, who loved Davy Jones, but cursed him for reasons that I can't even remember. In an overwrought battle across ships, Barbossa marries Will and Elizabeth. Then, Davy Jones kills Will, but his heart is stabbed seconds later, and he disintegrates. Will is then made the new captain of the Flying Dutchman, and can only see his then-unborn son every ten years. Bootstrap is still a complete wuss, Elizabeth is stuck on a hunk of rock for the rest of her life, Barbossa commandeers the Black Pearl, and Jack adds Jack to the plot (and clones himself). And to top it all of, the movie started filming without any script. To think that the writers of this monstrosity also wrote Aladdin!
Okay, I've done my fix now.
Come on! Part of the movie actually showed him on his laptop, editing the movie. It's ludicrous! And half the movie was him talking about his past. The only part where he offered solutions to global warming was during the credits, as an afterthought. And one of them actually said "recommend this movie to your friends"!
Sorry, I had to get that out of my system.
If we're counting docs I nominate Sicko by Michael Moore. I'm not a fan of the states healthcare system but he portrays systems like the NHS and even bloody Cuba's to be wonder systems.
The people he took to Cuba to be treated were cared for in a ward where they keep people like Fidel Castro himself by the by
That would be an incorrect guess.
You guys really haven't started hitting the true depths of awfulness. One of my...favorites?
Behold! One of the best fight scenes ever created.

But you’re forcing me to post the trailer of RoboGeisha.
Fried shrimp.
And I think this gory scene from Witchcraft 7 that particular film's wonders.
The worst thing ever is The Happening.
It's one of those movies you just have to get. It's more about the quirkiness and dialogue than about being straight out funny.
No Country For Old Men is also a strange movie. I don't know what to make of it, but I can't say it's bad.
Probably the worst I've seen recently is Batman and Robin. It was on TV a couple days ago and I got to watch it in it's entirety for the first time in six years. I had no idea just how bad this movie is, I grew up with it. I grew up with every Batman thing there was. Looking at it now, I almost couldn't bear to watch it all the way through. It was like watching Ed Wood's Batman. In their defense though, George Clooney would have made a great Batman and Alicia a better Batgirl with a better script and director. Uma Thurman was horribly miscast.
On another note, a movie I saw recently which I don't feel deserve the immense hate it gets is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3. In fact it's either my third or second favorite Turtles film. Now I can understand how people growing up with the Turtles would find this a disappointing film. It doesn't continue the Shredder storyline, and it doesn't take place in the city, but in feudal Japan. But I didn't hate the acting, the action, the setting, the atmosphere, or any of it really. The plot was iffy at times, I mean why did Casey Jone's ancestor betray them for no reason, and there was one part in the editing where you could tell a bad guy was edited out before his demise, but other than that it was a ton of fun. I don't get the hate. It's not Titus or Amadeus, so as the Turtles would say, unwedgie your underwear, dudes!
That is all.
I have a high tolerance for bad movies, being a Troma fan and an MST3K fan. I can appreciate bad-on-purpose movies. But Chris Seaver tries to be bad on purpose... and fails miserably. When you find yourself casting Debbie Rochon, it's time to put the camera away.
There are only four films. But I like it too
I get that, I think that was a good Idea that they did that. If you keep only doing the same thing it gets boring. I like how in the new one they also kinda went with Shredder not being the baddy of the day, but Patrick Stewart's character
For me it's 2>3>1>4.
And that's for someone who only saw them recently. I didn't grow up with them, in fact I used to hate them. I can't speak from a nostalgia point of view. I still think they're bloody wonderful, exciting, and a great change of pace amidst all the superhero movies trying to be "dark". It's hard for me to pick a favorite turtle, but I think I have them in this order.
Rafael>Michaelangelo>Leonardo>Donatello for me.
I loved the action and the development in TMNT 4, but it should have been live action. The plot was terrible and the ending, like all of the TMNT movies except 3, sucked horribly. If it had been live action, we wouldn't have had to deal with the movie looking like a friggin PS2 game. I hate how today, everything has to be CGI. The Astro Boy movie that company did should have been live action too. That's what so awesome about the Hellboy movies! In fact, give the next TMNT movie to Guillermo Del Toro if they ever make another one after that last disaster.
On an unrelated note, even though I know it's based on a comic, and even though I grew up with this cartoon instead and think it's bloody awesome, I have to say I think the Teen Titans feels like a complete ripoff of TMNT.
Robin = Leonardo.
Cyborg = Donatello.
Beast Boy = Michaelangelo.
Raven = Rafael.
Starfire=April O'Neil? I dunno, she doesn't really fit in.
The feeling and atmosphere is the same, and the fact that Beast Boy is constantly talking about pizza doesn't change things for me. Now every time I see an episode, which is rare nowadays, I keep waiting for Beast Boy to turn into a turtle.
