Badmovies.org Forum

There probably was a thread like this before, and I'm just too lazy to check LOL.  Well any ways, since looking over about bad films, I was wondering what everyone thinks is their most disliked film.  This can be hated films as well, I choose not to use hate in the title.  Can also be overrated films, as there are plenty that I think fall in the Overrated category.


Since I am starting the new topic, I guess I will go first.

Titanic - It was absolutely absurd to have a love story be tangled into a real tragic event.  It was just a bad idea imo.

Pearl Harbor - Same thing as Titanic.  Why include a love story in something so tragic.  That would like taking the Movie World Trade Center and have in there have two people fall in love and one of them would get killed in the attack.  ( Note, If you have lost a loved one in the 9/11 attacks, I do not mean to offended you, I'm just making a point about something I cannot stand in films.)  Also the inaccuracies are also awful. 

Well, let me explain a little more.  I mean a love story is never anything bad, like two people were in love and one died in a war, or an attack, that is one thing, however though if that becomes the focal point of the film, then I'm sorry it's not going to cut it.   

Borat - I watched 40 minutes of this film, and it's just so unfunny and awful.  There is nothing remotely funny about it at all.

Underground Comedy Movie - Watched 20 minutes, put the DVD and it is staying away.  I can see why it's hated so much.  It's just not funny to me.  Maybe if I was like super immature and though farting jokes were still funny.

Jon Cryer made Pretty in Pink worth watching.  And the little cameo by Andrew Dice Clay. 

But yeah, Titanic sucked mega time.

The Andrew Dice Clay cameo was neat.  I'll watch it again, I just think it is overrated a little bit.

I don't think it compares at all to Breakfast Club or Sixteen Candles.  But Jon Cryer was great. 

More of a chick flick in my opinion.  Which isn't a bad thing.  Just when you go from Breakfast Club to that, it's like, woah.

It isn't really a dislike, but I never did get the whole rapturous reaction to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, especially by knowledgeable film critics who should have seen a Hong Kong movie before.  Yes, it was pretty... but good actors were given nothing to do (Michelle Yeoh simply stands around looking sadly beatific), the wirework looks like a bunch of performers suspended from bungee cords, and the entire middle section is a showstopping plot detour overflowing with romantic-adventure cliches.

Best Andrew "Dice" Clay cameo: Amazon Women on the Moon

The only film I actually hated myself for watching all the way through is Full Frontal (2002)...no it's not a porno.  This is the worst movie David Duchovny, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, David Hyde Pierce, Blair Underwood (yes, he's still alive), Terrance Stamp and Steven Soderbergh have ever done.  Do.  Not.  See.  This.  Movie.

Sextette
The Trial of Billy Jack
Candy
Pink Flamingos
Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?
The Rats are Coming!  The Werewolves are Here!
Zombie Night
Weasels Rip My Flesh

In no particular order...

1.Carnivore
2.Terror Toons
3.Anything Charles Band is responsible for
4.Manticore(I had to throw a SciFi Channel original in here at some point)
5.Pumpkinhead:Bloodwings
6.Any Steaven Seagal film after Out for Justice(Belly of the Beast being the  exception)

Those are just a few off the top of my head, though rest assured, there are many more. Oh andI would've mentioned Red Zone Cuba but that would've been to obvious...

How could you not like Borat?
That movie was hilarious!

And I do kinda like Titanic.
Sure it's kind of mushy in spots, but it is a pretty good movie in my opinion.

GOOD WILL HUNTING.  They took FIVE EASY PIECES and slapped a happy ending on it.  Totally predictable and sentimental in the worst sense.  The Robin Williams/Matt Damon hugging scene seems like something that should have taken place on the set of Oprah, and makes me want to puke.  And why was an Eliot Smith song about alcoholism used as the romantic music for the sex scene?  I don't think it's overrated, I think it's actually BAD.  Like pretty much everything Gus Van Sant's been involved with since the excellent DRUGSTORE COWBOY.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.  Again.

For me it would have to be Starship Troopers 2 and Ultraviolet (in no particular order).

I loved Starship Troopers 1 and was looking forward to the second.  I tried really hard to like it, but I sat there thinking "are they KIDDING doing that?".  Even my 16 yo son said, "that was the worst crap I've ever seen". 

Also, I usually like Milla Jovovich (Fifth Element, Resident Evil movies), but Ultraviolet had me scratching my head.  The movie ended and I said to my son, "what happened?"  He admitted not understanding it himself, but he loved the movie   :question:   Go figure.

I can't think of any other movies that are worse than these two.

An honourable mention in dislike goes to Aeon Flux.  After hearing rave reviews about the comics from my son, I was looking forward to this one.  The plot wasn't as bad as the previous two movies mentioned, but it had me scratching my head at the convolutedness of it all.

I just found nothing funny in the film that I saw so far.  I don't think I can endure anymore of the film.
 

that rosie perez one everyone likes.  It's a total pulp fiction rip off

Hmmm

Candy, definitely. I've seen cucumber salads that had more sex appeal than Ewa Aulin
Immortel Ad vitam. Just the memory of it makes me shudder. Egyptian gods playing monopoly in bad CGI with worse voice acting.

Return Of The Living Dead Rave To The Grave: ahhhh terrible, I watched about 15 min. of this film before i turned the T.V. off and ran to the refrigerator for a beer so i could get the awful taste of that movie out of my mouth. :thumbdown:

After some careful pondering, I decided to remove Pretty in Pink as a disliked film.  Let me put it this way.  I don't dislike the film, but I don't like it either.  It's kinda of the middle for me.

A Knight's Tale
Demonicus
Starfire Mutiny
The 13th Warrior
The Alpha Incident
Dune
Witchfire

They all suck in their own way.

I saw Titanic for the first time not too long ago, and I really enjoyed it.  I don't quite understand why it was such a phenomenon, but I don't see why some hate it so much either.

Anyways, I loathe the Mike Myers version of The Cat in the Hat with all of my being.  I'm pretty sure that snuff films would be more tolerable.

I think "the 13th Warrior" is great, but it takes several viewings to appreciate it, it just moves too fast. Rumor says they cut between 15 and 45 minutes of McTiernan's final cut, which explains for instance why Omar Shariff disappears so abruply.

A bad film that hasn't been named yet... alright, got a couple here:

- Sliver: Yes, Sharon Stone was very sexy, but I can't believe the film was so booooooooooooring. That guy is the murderer? So what.

- Hostel: What a piece of crap! And this passes for horror? It's just some silly gore here and there, the rest is so boring it should go to the deleted scenes section of the DVD.

Street Fighter: Even in a time now when Uwe Boll is launching crappy video game movies right and left, this adaptation still stands out as the worst, in my opinion. 

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation:  The First MK film itself was pretty crappy, and doesn't hold up well over time...but it still has its charm, thanks to the sets, costume design, and Christopher Lambert's presence.  This one, however, is just pure crap all around.  Characters are introduced, and disposed of within five minutes, and the acting among the principal characters is simply horrendous. 

Anything starring Jean Claude Van Damme is automatic garbage.  Bloodsport was his only good film, and it really has more to do with camp value and unintentional humor than it does with his "performance". 

Bean: Mr. Bean is a character that works better in terms of short skits, and half hour shows.  You just can't stretch his kind of odd humor into a feature-length film.  The lame supporting cast doesn't help things much either. 

Air America.  Turned it off mid way through.  I'd rather rewatch a Polonia Bros. film.
Prospero's Book.  Utterly incomprehensible, and with a naked old John Geilgud. I'd rather rewatch two Polonia Bros. films.

Air America sucks. I remember watching it several times as a teenager without being able to make any sense of it. If there's any picture (outside B movies and porn) as disjointed as this one, I have yet to see it. Every scene seems to come from a whole different movie.

Super Mario Bros.- From what people tell me this is pretty crappy.  I feel that way too.  But it still doesn't dissuade me from watching it when it's on tv.

Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie- The second Power Ranger flick.  I have the dvd, but even as a fan, its' eh.

Showgirls- Why bother? 

Street Fighter is bad, but it just has some appeal to it.  I loved the 1st Mortal Kombt movie, the second one is utter trash.  I was thinking about writing an article explaining why it's so bad, and what could have made it better.

Van Damme was decent in Kickboxer and he was good in Bloodsport, other than that I can't stand him.  Nothing like a "FAKE CHAMPION" making kcikboxing movies.

My list (it repeat it often)
1) Millenium- Hey lets take a boring film and make people watch it twice!
http://www.badmovies.org/movies/millennium/

2) Requiem for a Dream- This guy HATES his characters

3) the Bodyguard- *shudder*

Catman in Lethal Track and Catman - Boxers Blow were just incredibly terrible films (Godfrey Ho chopshops)

The Rats are Coming, Werewolves are Here was another mess-terpiece of a film trainwreck to boredomtown.

The Bratz Diamondz animated film was among the worst I saw this year.

Eragon is Star Wars with dragons and worse writing.

These movies all suck-I know some of you may like them...but...here goes:
.the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW- What? What is the big deal with this movie that makes it a 'cult' classic? It's got Broadway type music-EEECHHH!!! It has trans-sexuals-Gee-that may have been shocking and over the top for Mainstream USA...but in 2007? It's dumb-and dull. My belief it was made a 'cult' favorite by "hipsters" in the seventies...as it was shocking then. But for me-it's just STUPID...and I have been subjected to it sooo many times by people who know I like unusual movies-"OH!You'll LOVE this video-it's right up your ally!" And they plug in this crap! NOOOOOOOOO! I F$CKING HATE THIS MOVIE!!!
.ARMEGEDDON-Why did a major motion picture company  pay millions of dollars for this boring piece 'o' s**t space opera to be made?!?! I just found it ridicouls and stupid. If I wanna see stupid space opera...I'll stick to unpretenious B-Movies. At least they are enjoyable.
. HARRY POTTER,LORD of the RINGS and STAR WARS films-I get sick and tired of the hype over these things. Glossy,boring s**t.

Completely agree on ARMAGEDDON. Completely disagree on ROCKY HORROR but hey that's how it goes.

I loathe Adam Sandler's movies. Not a huge fan of Will Ferrell either but he's slightly more tolerable.

BOOGIE NIGHTS. Never got what the big fuss was about with this movie. I found it an utter bore. Also feel that way about NATURAL BORN KILLERS and INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE put me to sleep.

 Totally agree with NATURAL BORN KILLERS-(Whatta mess! Stone used every dumb MTV trick in the book...and I HATE MTV!) and INTERVIEW with the VAMPIRE-(boring drival.)

I posted on this before (in the last "Movies I Hate" type of thread). Here's what I had to say then (this is likely not the same reason others dislike this movie):
Another popular movie (okay, not so much on this board, but in general) I actively dislike is Titanic. I don't mind that it's a "chick flick"; I like quite a few of those. I dislike it because, underneath all the Titanic scenery and folklore, the movie is about a one night stand. Rose has a fling with Jack, who subsequently dies. She then marries a man who encourages her free spirit and helps her develop into a strong, fully realized woman. His total screen time for this lifetime of devotion is a pan across some photos as Rose nears the site of the wreck, where she joyfully rejoins her frozen lover to dance forever aboard the ghost-Titanic. She's a pretty lousy character in my opinion, but then I probably picked up on this angle more because I am more like that stolid, encouraging husband than like the footloose Jack. Also, I dislike it because it would have been a major flop if it had been set anywhere but on the Titanic; the storyline is a sketchy cliche.

I'm with RCMerchant on Rocky Horror Picture Show. I don't mind Broadway showtunes, but the movie was just boring to me. Granted, I rented it and watched it alone, so I didn't get the "event" of a theater showing, but the movie is just bleh.

The Blair Witch Project. I expected creepy fun. I rented it, turned out all the lights to watch it late at night, and was bored silly. I guess I was expecting too much, listening to the hype. One of the main things that bugs me is that it's not even about a witch in the end, but a serial killer of some sort. Huh?

You know, I was raised on Broadway music, even performed a few times in high school...but even I don't really get the appeal of Rocky Horror.  I watched it once, and just shrugged it off. 

I definitely agree with the above opinion on Blair Witch.  I keep seeing it referenced on all these shows that talk about the scariest movies ever, and every time it makes me want to put my fist through the wall.  It's all hype, and little substance.

It's hard to say which movie I dislike the most.  However, I think Kill Bill stands out.  Somehow, Quentin Tarantino managed to put everything I hate about movies into one film.  I hated the characters, the dialogue, the plot, the fight scenes, the music, every - single -frame of Kill Bill.  I hated the anime segment especially.  I want to find anyone who worked on it and set them on fire.

I also really don't get what anyone sees in The Fifth Element.  It's just ... bad.

Though I can't say I actively dislike TITANIC, it is so dumb !   And my main beef is what Derf has well stated... she's on the Titanic, and needs to get into the backseat of a car to do the deed???   :bouncegiggle: 

Really love the sweaty handprint on the car window...  :lookingup:

I actively dislike CANNIBAL FEROX (aka MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY) since I first (and last) saw it at a midnight movie.  Absolute gross-out garbage.  Don't like these too:
UNDER THE YUM YUM TREE
SLEEPAWAY CAMP

Robot Chicken made a somewhat obscure reference to Sleepaway Camp.  They did a bit where they spoiled the endings of several big movies, like Star Wars, etc.  Anyway, they cut to Sleepaway Camp and Angela's like, "I'm a boy."

In the audio commentary for the episode, Mark Hamill was talking and was like, "Is Sleepaway Camp a real movie?"  Seth Green was like, "Yeah, we figured we'd throw in a joke about an obscure movie that 3 people watching the show would know." 

:bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:
That SPOILERS is dynamite for some...  can give you more karma today.   :thumbup:
'Gave me a belly laugh though... that f**ked up horrible movie... :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: 

I was hoping a suicide bomber would blow up Borat!  I did not last 10 min into the film.  I love dumb movies, but I do have my limitations.

And the fact that they made like, what 3?  And they're working on another one too.  Something like that.   :lookingup:

I doubt that there is a genre movie out there that I hate. I like 99.999% of anything with monsters, aliens, ghosts, killers, etc. What annoys me are films that are lauded by critics but feature characters that are totally unappealing. For example: The Devil Wears Prada. My wife owns this one and I was forced to watch it once. Now, Ann Hathaway is cute and looks great in this film, but every other character is an overbearing, self serving, self centered ASS. I wanted to leap through the TV and strangle these people.

I detested the movie BULLY.  Every single character was despicable, and no amount of nudity could redeem the overwhelming sense of  YUCK! that movie gave me.

You have earned KARMA.

apocalypse now
i really really hate this movie!!!!yeah,the cinematography is amazing,but it's boring!and depressing!!!and it was already too long before the redux version came out!the extra scenes were just stupid,and had no bearing on the story,so why put them back?
unfortunately for me,this is a huge fave of my husband's and my best friend,also a guy..when they watch it,i'm out of the house,usually,but if i'm forced to watch it,even peripherally while on the puter,i take revenge by making them watch pumaman....

Two words... Raptor Island aka The Isle of Retarded Dromeosaurs.

SLEEPAWAY CAMP was tedious.  The 'surprise' ending wasn't remotely believable and felt tact on, like mosquito netting on a lazy summer afternoon.  Besides SALOME'S LAST DANCE did this particular character gender twist a heck of a lot better IMO.  Speaking of which I never understood what people saw in THE CRYING GAME.  Meh.


I have that on DVD!  Never gotten around to watching it though.

How bad is it?

It is John Waters, so the movie goes out of its way to be disgusting and distasteful.  It pretty much succeeds.  From my experience, people either love it or hate it.

I only seen a small portion of the film and enjoyed what I saw so far.

I hate most of John Grisham adaptations out there, but "The Pelican Grief" earns the cake. It's confusing, boring, utterly silly, and the more it tries to be serious the more laughable it results. The scene where Julia Robert's boyfriend is killed right in front of her is absolutely histerycal, can't believe Roberts could get away with that "acting".

As for the rest of the adaptations, only "The Gingerbread Man" and "The Rainmaker" are decent. Which probably means Coppola and Altman are good enough to make a film adaptation of the yellow pages. 

Most disliked? Well, "Threshold," the obscure TV movie, is definately the worse thing I've ever seen. "Faust: Love of the Damned" come close to that too, even it has defenders though.

As for film some other people enjoy but I personally dislike, Gus Van Sant's "Elephant" and "Closer" but filled me with loathing. "Dude, Where's My Car?" was god-awful as well.

:thumbup: 
SLEEPAWAY CAMP cheeses cried that f*dup horrible movie... !

Objection! The "Sleepaway Camp" movies are fantastically campy experiences. Especially the sequels.
