Badmovies.org Forum

To me this seemed like a logical topic for a bad movie forum. Feel free to explain why a movie is on your most hated list or just post them. I'll get this started.


Alleged comedies:

Hudson Hawk
Epic Movie
Freddy Got Fingered
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
White Chicks
All About Steve
Jennifer’s Body
Click


Poor adaptations:

Super Mario Brothers
Street Fighter
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
The Scarlett Letter (1995)

Hideous Horror:

Monster A Go-Go
The Happening
I Know Who Killed Me
Track of the Moon Beast

Sequels:

Saw 3D
Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones
Batman and Robin

Disastrous Drama:

The Lord the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord the Rings: The Two Towers
The Lord the Rings: The Return of the King
Lady in the Water

Musicals:

The Wizard of Oz

The Rest:

Mac and Me
Ready to Rumble


All the Lord of the Rings movies bored me to death. All they are, to me at least, are three very long and boring movies about walking to a volcano. Even the trees walked in those movies.

The Wizard of Oz is on my list of two reasons. For some reason I hate musicals. The other being that I really really hate when an entire movie, or the vast majority of it turns out to be a dream. The more I am into a film before it's revealed to be a dream the more angry I get when it's revealed to be a dream.

LORD OF THE RINGS????????

You did NOT!!!!!!

(Indy clutches his chest, spits up the ribs he has for dinner, and collapses.)

any of the Saw films...Hostel....all this 'torture porn' or whatever they call it.

Planet Terror, I thought was boring

very disappointed with Argento's 'The Card Player'...

well there's a few, anyway

Eagle Eye was the worst studio released film I have ever seen. I don't mind suspending my disbelief but come on! This movie doesn't just ask that you leave your brain at the door and enjoy the ride, but leave your brain at the door and ignore the rats gnawing at it.

There's a little nod to Hal 9000 with the computer reading lips, ok fine. Then when the computer can no longer see the mouths... It reads the vibrations from a coffee cup!  :drink:

The computer also manages to kill a man by dropping a Radio tower on him.

Such an insultingly stupid movie... the discount theater charged $1 for this movie, and that was too much!

what! Lord of the rings and the Wizard of oz? Opinions be opinions I guess.

My most hated films are most likely

Spiderman 3
Godzilla Final Wars
Any Film by Roland Emmerich

Can't really think of anything else I hate a lot. I dislike a lot of movies, but there isn't much outright hate.

STAR WARS. Star Wars. I went and seen star Wars in the 70's. And It killed drive in movies. They rarly played low budget movies at our local movie house after the drek that is Star Wars. I HATE STAR WARS.  :hot:

I've went into this a bit before (there's been plenty of similar threads) but well the following I really hated:

1) Armageddon
2) Natural Born Killers
3) Clerks II
4) National Lampoon's Senior Trip
5) The Waterboy
6) Step Brothers
7) Dogma
8) Boogie Nights
9) Transformers II
10) G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
11) Halloween (2007)

I still haven't been able to finish The Dark Knight either...

DONDI (http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,132987.0.html)







Hoo-boy.

Hate is a strong word. It takes a lot for me to actually hate a movie since I'm not easily offended. Let's just say I dislike/didn't care for

Bamboozled
Howard the Duck (I don't think its the holy cult grail of badness at all, but the following this movie has still amazes me)
The Yards
Silent Hill
A Beautiful Mind
Crash (2004)
House of Sand and Fog (Ben Kingsley's big emotional scene actually made me laugh tears)
Unbreakable (I never understood why so many people drool over that one)
The Butterfly Effect (Obviously a "fan boy" favorite. Didn't do much for me)

CLERKS 2 - I have always been a massive Kevin Smith fan. I have even made a trip from the u.k to NJ to visit the quick stop and rst. But after watching this film for the first time I ejected it from my player and snapped it so I had no part in anyone else seeing it. Some of the Randle scenes were funny, but that was it.

Not really surprising. Everybody I know dislikes Temple of Doom or lists it as their least favorite of the series for different reasons.
I had the pleasure of watching Temple of Doom at the theater when I was young. The place was sold out and the audience went absolutely ballistic.
A crowd pleaser back then for sure and now "hated" these days. Go figure.

If anything, Spellberg's fetish is putting little boys in peril. It happens in ET, Doom, AI, Hook, Close Encounters, Minority Report, Jurassic Park. They get their *sses kicked and always get pulled away from their father figure.

Death Tunnel - an entire movie edited together in that rapid-fire MTV fashion.  Few "scenes" are more than five seconds long.  Impossible to endure.

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid - it's like they gave this project to a group of people who absolutely didn't give a damn.  Just about the most generic and predictable piece of garbage I've ever seen in my life. 

Quantum of Solace - WTF was this?  A bunch of action scenes edited together so you can't tell what the hell's going on, a laughably stupid plot, and James Bond barely has any dialogue for the first half of the movie?   :lookingup:

Some of these will be controversial, so don't be surprised.

Citizen Kane- I hated it because the main character has this superb ego that, to me, stretches far beyond to what I know today.

Monster A Go-go- "Hey, I got an idea, let's use that unfinished movie from 1961 and finish it with a twist ending!" don't do that!

A.I.- Just went for to f'ing long.

Blade Runner- I don't mind the FX, but the story line is....is kinda out dated today. I can't get how it's a neo-noir film.

Xanadu- I had nightmares for 2 straight weeks after watching this film.

I should have you burned at the steak for insulting Lord of the Rings.

@Bob, that list is WAY understandable... especially Mario Bros the movie LOL.

But The Lord the Rings?! From a quote. King Arthur: "You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy."

@Criswell, Spiderman 3 is understandable, Venom gets nerfed down and Tobey crying most of the time.

Hmmm, GODZILLA Final Wars? That had almost every Monster it, not to mention Don Frye. I will say this and I'm a huge fan of Godzilla movies. It would have been a 1000 times better if a new Mecha Godzilla and Jet Jaguar were* in it.
---



@Jase, You have read my mind. GIJOE and Transformers could have been the biggest hits ever, but IMO they failed hard.
---



@Dr. Strangelove, I agree a little on Independence day. It could have been better, but it was a good FX movie for it's time.
---



@ Toro Loco, hmmm... I don't remember the movie, as I watched it once in the early 80's.

But IMO I think Olivia Newton John has a very beautiful voice.

All things Seth Rogan (Except for maybe Paul)
All things Will Ferrel
All things Chris Rock
All things Tyler Perry
All things Uwe Boll
Mac & Me
Commando
Dragonball Evolution
Monsturd
Highlander II: The Quickening
Highlander: The Source
Manos: The Hands of Fate
Monster-A-Go-Go!
Star Wars I, II, & III
Garbage Pail Kids
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
DOOM
Street Fighter: The Movie
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
Blade II
Blade IV
Batman Forever
Batman & Robin
Super Mario Bros.
Secret of N.I.H.M. 2

Nice list. I agree with you.
But not on Star Wars III RotS. I loved it.

Blade IV? Umm...

It was called "House of Cthon". It sucked.

Wow, I'm a Blade fan and I have never even heard of House of Cthon. Yeah, it must have been bad. LOL!

I can't stand the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. They just seemed overly-long CGI monuments to fanboy geek-dom. Stick with the books, that's what I say. It's always better in your head....

I got it by mistake. I was looking for Blade one. I just saw "BLADE" on it and assumed it was the first one and "House of Cthon" was a subtitle. I was wrong. This is why you number your sequels. I eventually saw Blade one and liked it. Cthon left bad taste in my mouth.

The over-all feel of Blade was a lot like "Hellboy". I love both of those films.

 :twirl:

I never read the books. I modified my first post in this thread explaining why I hate all three of them.

I don't read often. Lord of The Rings is one of my all time favorite movies. Watch what you say about it around me.

No. It's only a movie and people are entitled to their opinion. That's what is great about this forum, everyone likes and dislikes a vast variety of stuff and you can say whatever the hell you like. But, just as long as you have a reason, rather than just sounding off and being an argumentative jerk.

LOREN CASS - not only was it pretentious and boring, it used actual suicide footage for no reason
ZEITGEIST: THE MOVIE - conspiracy movies are OK, I guess, but stick to one, not three different ones
THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT
GOOD WILL HUNTING
MOON OF THE WOLF - some people here have posted positive things about this one, I can't understand why.  I don't think I've ever been so bored in my life.
BASIC INSTINCT - pretty bad when a movie shows me Sharon Stone's pubic hair but still gets me to hate it
DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN - the protagonist gets both to torture the antagonist, and forgive him like a good Christian.  Pick one or the other!

NEKROMANTIK
TRASH HUMPERS
THE CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH III

Please, don't tell Trash Humpster is what I think it's about.

Worse! It's a Harmony Korine movie!  :bouncegiggle:

Hate?

Hmm ...

I absolutely HATE Terminator 2.  It neutered one of the greatest cinematic villains of all time AND tried to go back and undo the dark ending of the original, which was, quite simply, one of the most elegant and powerful endings of any film I've ever seen.  T2 went hopelessly off the rails from the get go by bringing back Arnold to play the new T800.  Should have cast a different actor.  The T1000 was kind of cool but not believable at all, plus he was incompetent.  John Connor was just a whiny little kid who showed absolutely no potential to grow into a great warrior at all.  The movie was also badly paced, the best parts were near the beginning, just a lot of problems.  Waste of $100 million to make.  It also, it seems to me, started the trend of making s**tty movies that cost a whole lot of money that continues to this day.

So, yes, I HATE Terminator 2.

Batman Begins.  Just an awful, awful, awful movie.  Felt like a bad fan-fiction written and directed by a 13 year old wannabe-badass.  Everything about Batman Begins was bad - almost unspeakably so.  It may be the worst big-budget movie I've ever seen.  Even the Schumacher movies were better.

(http://366weirdmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/trash_humpers.jpg)

My favorite review of TRASH HUMPERS said "Harmony Korine dares you to hate this movie... and I accept."

Oh boy...

Frogs:  I hate this movie.  I hate it so much.  I wrote a review on it.  See that to see my rage.

Jaws IV: The Revenge:  Again, I wrote a review on it, but I think everyone could understand why I would pick this.  The special effects are probably the worst I ever seen with almost any film.  The effects start off funny, but then turn sad, until finally it becomes pathetic and makes you think: How did this franchise get to this point?

But if you want pure rage and anger from me regarding films, look no further then the absolute worst animated film I have ever seen:

The Legend of the Titanic: I hate this movie more than any other film I have ever seen. It has horrible voice acting, lazy animation, an insulting story, and the biggest kick in the crotch, it is extremely offensive for how it treats the history of the Titanic.  I think there are worst films out there, I hate this film the most of all.

Wow. I like FROGS! Look at it as a satire on all them "Revenge of Nature" films....I think the end title animation of the Frog gulping the hand gave that away. I found it fun.

Your loathing of it is amazing,though-were you analy raped as a child while this was on TV or something? (I'm kidding-I KID! Anal rape is not something to be joked about...but-dam! I did it anyway! AH! I guss it takes a twisted idiot like me to like FROGS-which I do.)

I'm sure I'll think of others later, but right now we'll start with these.  


Titanic

Vampirella  (A bikini clad vampire from space fights Dracula (from space) who's posing as a rockstar.  How somebody is able to take that idea and make it boring I have no idea.)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that had that guy from Full Metal jacket in it.  

Alone in the Dark.  (I OWN this movie and have seen it multiple times.  I don't remember a thing about it, other than it's bad.)  

Oh yeah, and let me add Batman Begins and Dark Knight.  Horriblr horrible movies. 

Completely understand the hate for TITANIC (1997) and the most recent STAR TREK film.

Oh yes, Nukem High 2 and 3 are absolutely terrible. And it's pretty obvious the filmmakers dun goofed real bad and tried to stitch together 2 movies out of one incoherent film. Both are a mess and 90% voice over. Probably the worst In House produced Troma films yet a long with Tales from the Crapper.

I forgot to include in my original post any of the Seltzer and Freidburg "Movies"

The Howling III, was just cheap boring garbage compared to the first two flicks and even the two that followed were better.

Hard Rock Zombies, which I have tried to watch all the way through several times and I just can't. Great title, Baaaaad film. Very dark and plodding.

....And pretty much every film that's out now or due to be released at any point in the near or distant future.

I think everyone here hates these guys.

I hate the Christian Bale as Batman and the Batmobile in the movies- Seriously, who talks like that and why in the hell does Batman drive around in a friggen tank? It's not the bat tank, It's suppose to be the Bat Mobile, a car at best! :hatred:

Because, when Chris Nolan and Dave Goyer were sitting around writing the movie, the following conversation took place:

Dude!

What?

Batman could, like, drive a TANK!

AWESOME!  You totally rock!

Ooh!  Ooh!  And the tank could, like, jump 1/4 of a mile and do 0-200mph in 3 seconds!

Ooh!  And it could have STEALTH MODE!

DUDE!  TOTALLY RAD!  BROFIST!

Like so many lousy things in life, you can thank Frank Miller for that.

(http://www.wheelsofitaly.com/wiki/images/a/a7/Miller-batmobile.gif)

Jase mentioned NATURAL BORN KILLERS, that would be the one for me.  could have been an interesting commentary on America's culture of violence & media exploitation, BUT IT SO WASNT! That movie failed on every level.  I kind of hate Oliver Stone in general, to be honest - everything I've ever seen of his is pompous and heavy-handed, I don't understand how he became so widely regarded

Hey, we are down to the awesome Batpod now.

Frankly, that thing never bothered me.  Most things about comic book films don't bother me.  I'm not that much of a nerd or comic book geek to throw a fit over it like so many other people.  Besides, its upgrade compared to the first ever vechile Batman drove:

(http://goldenagecomics.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/tec30.jpg)

Now that'll strike terror in the hearts of criminals!

^^The Extension Of My Manhod Car!^^  :teddyr:

To be honest the Bat-tank didn't bug me *that* much either, but El Toro had a valid question & deserved a valid answer

I liked it. It was so stupid i laughed through out.

Everything made after 1989. Oh, yes, and ANYTHING with any type of CGI, "good" or bad. :wink:

Wow... you sound like one of those very old guys, "Those dang kids and their CGI."

Haha, that's like something I'd say. But I'm really not THAT old (I'm 35 years young). For me, CGI has been a bane on movies since the 90s when it started to get a bit out of hand. I just think it's such an artistic cop out, really.

edit: I just finished watching Friday The 13th (2009) and it absolutely BLEW. Michael Bay is a dick. Of the remakes I've seen, this was one of the most pointless pieces of s**t I've encountered so far, well, aside from Black Xmas (HORRID). F13 did have only one redeeming factor: high quality boobage, but even that couldn't save it from it's utter mediocrity. A big  :thumbdown:

I just don't understand the hate for "Friday the 13th (2009)" doesn't really seem that bad. Plus topless Julianna Guill, damn she's hot! It makes more sense than "Jason Goes to Hell" I hated that one. I also didn't think the remake of "Black Xmas" was all that bad either. I know everybody hated it, because the first one was groundbreaking and inspired "Halloween." But for me "Halloween" was so superior to "Black Christmas," that the remake never bothered me. I think all that back story about Billy just creeped everybody out. I think if they had left all that stuff out it would have been more like the original. I'm partial to the new one because I've seen it more. If I had been a bigger fan of the original, I would probably hate the remake.

Definitely agree with the Lord of The Rings trilogy. I was so bored with those films, I fell asleep through the first 2, and didn't bother with the 3rd. I HATED Clerks II, I didn't like Sin City. Unlike many, Spider-Man 2 was my least liked in the whole span of the 3 newer ones. Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter and MK Annihilation were absolutely atrocious.

But as for my most hated movie though, well let me just say this: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 can burn in hell for eternity.

I think "Clerks 2" was trying too hard to be like the first one, why do it if it's not going to be different.

totally agree with you there. i found the characters in clerks II to be mere parodies of their former selves - especially jay & silent bob. the original was great because of it's low budget charm and it was a hell of a lot more sincere than the second one, which tried way too hard to be "clerks-ish". it was too self referential to me. it's good example of why bigger budgets can ruin a potentially good movie.

That's Voltron dude, he ain't "CGI" by any means....

As to Clerks 2, I liked it, but the musical number seems way out of place.

Oh I hate to bring the bad news, but Voltron has been CGI.  It was a short lived animated show back in the 90's with Tim Curry called Voltron: The Third Dimension.

Dear God that looks bad...

That doesn't count...    :wink:

Magnolia, North, Baby Geniuses, Caligula, Diaster Movie, Daddy Day Camp, Epic Movie

One of these things is not like the others...  :wink:

Mac & Me, Gamer, Transformers, and Dodgeball.

when I started this thread back in April I listed the Wizard of Oz and haven't seen it since I was a kid

currently I'm giving Oz another shot because I hated musicals as a kid no matter, what but recently enjoyed the hell out of Singin in the Rain.....

not even 40 minutes in this is annoying the hell out of me and I'm debating ejecting it.

Edit: I ended up ejecting it a little over an hour into it.

Bob, I'm afraid I could make a list of my top 10 favorites out of a list of your most hated films... I seem to remember you've also listed 2001 and THE PRODUCERS as among your most despised.

don't forget Magnolia and all 3 Lord of the Rings films :bouncegiggle:


I don't know why, but I find that incredibly funny

Most hated is probably a bit much, but I thought the Brave One was obnoxious because of its moral cowardice.  It tries to portray vigilantism as a bad thing at times, but refuses to go all the way and ends up seeming like they wouldn't go all the way for fear of alienating the audience who wants violence and bad guys to get whats coming to them.  If you're going to make a movie with a statement, MAKE A STATEMENT.

On the flipside of this, Heartbeat Detector (aka the Human Question in French, IIRC) is a rarity: a movie I found offensive.  Few movies truly offend me, but this one managed it.  It directly equates corporate downsizing to Nazi genocide.  Yeah.  And I'm someone who thinks a lot of corporations are run by awful, even evil people, but to compare firing someone to murdering an entire people is like spitting on a mass grave filled with 12 million people.

Oh! Oh Oh!  I've played this game before!  It's Caligula!  Do I get a cookie?

 :wink:

*brofist*

Right on!

just finished another one which made my list: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

another preachy save the environment film  :hatred:

EXCUSE ME?  Nausicaa is nothing less than one of the finest movies ever made.

and another person really likes something I hated.....this greatly amuses me each and everytime it has happens

If you had a problem with that, I can't wait to see your head explode like in Scanners when you see Pom Poko.


Me and akiratubo don't often see eye to eye on movies, but I'm with him on this one.  I love this movie and its in Top 20 favorite films of all time.

Bob I think you need to look at the bigger picture when you watch films. You seem to hate a film instantly when it has just one thing you don't like or disagree with. Honestly it seems kinda childish.

Nausicaa is a brilliant work of animation. Sure I have a few problems with the character and a few of the story points, but its an amazing movie.

it was more then just that

it felt like paint by numbers clichéd movie to me

I needed 7 breaks, I repeat 7 breaks to finish this

the only thing I liked was the animation, which I openly admit was specatcular

I'm with you with this. one of the two movies I felt like I was ripped off
The other is Fast and Furious 4, which was the biggest pile of crap I ever saw in my life (in theaters) Super babies 2 was just wrong in the level of Ketchup.....er, Ke$ha.

REALLY!!!

I thinkk they are good fun.

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
Natural Born Killers
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Meet Joe Black

Very much agreed.

Anything by Michael Bay represents I hate about movies combined into one thing.
Anything by Roland Emmerich
Space Jam
Avatar- "The story's sh*t, but oooh, it looks so pretty!". There are a lot of 'pretty' films out there that don't suck, and are worth one's time.  
Tom & Jerry: The Movie
The Dark Knight-A film that breeds stupidity. Remember the "English Patient" Seinfeld episode? That happened to me with this movie. :P
Forrest Gump- A film that celebrates stupidity
Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie
Tank Girl
Baby Geniuses
Showgirls
Lord of the Rings trilogy

Allow me to melt your brain for a second.  How do you feel about Warner Bros. considering him to make a Twilight Zone movie?



How would you feel if we change everything and made it with My Little Ponies?  Would that improve the film for you?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sfu_Zn5zkX4



Anyhow, back to me on hated movies, add The Piano to the list.  While I think the movie is very good on a techincal level (sets, costumes, effects, and all that) and the acting isn't half bad, it's the romance and the characters that completely sink this film.  I hate everyone person in the film and that's never happen to me before (I didn't even hate the characters in those animated Titanic films as much as these people). 

SPOILERS: The mother bullies her daughter into doing something she clearly doesn't want to do, the daughter sells out her mother to her husband even though she knows he'll react badly, the husband chops off one of the mother's fingers (Worse reaction to a body part getting cut off ever by the way), and the lover the mother is cheating on with pretty much sexually abuses her through blackmail to get her piano back from him.  Also, somehow because of that blackmail and sexual harrassment, the mother falls for him.  What f**ked up romance is this?!  It's a romance film that fails on the romance so bad for me that it completely ruins the entire film.

I honestly don't really care, as I'm not the biggest Twilight Zone fan. I dig "It's a Good Life" in the Movie, but that's because I'm a Joe Dante nut.

Really?  Damn!  My evil plan to destroy your mind has fail... I mean, that... I... ah... quick!  Look over this!  *Runs off*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zReX7OpfZXY

LORD OF THE RINGS???? :buggedout:

Really?  How could anyone hate the most magnificent saga ever filmed?

That just makes me want to weep. :bluesad:

that's better then your responce to it from April

Well, they are incredibly crappy movies.  All three are composed of little more than people walking around.  A lot.  When they aren't walking, they're sitting around discussing where they're going to walk next.

How any bad movie lover could actually hate Showgirls is beyond me.

Even my friend who is a hardcore feminist loves it   :bouncegiggle:

I gotta agree...the LORD OF THE RINGS series is incredibly boring. Not a big fan of the fantasy realm kinda thing anyway...

well, we all can't agree on everything. :lookingup:

I really don't get all the hate for the Lord of the Rings movies.

I mean, I understand how people can say, "there's not enough action for me, not my thing," but I don't get how you can move from that to hatred.

There are plenty of quality movies I don't personally connect with that I can still acknowledge are serious, well-made movies.  The only movies I can work up "hate" for are movies that are both badly done and promote a bad message.

Too true

The thing is, the LotR movies aren't well-made.  The only thing separating them from an Uwe Boll movie is the amount of money spent on them.

I think you and me have a similiar movie philosophy.  Like I mention before with The Piano, I don't like it or connect with it, but see it as a well-made movie.  Though for me to truly hate a movie, I need to see that everything about it is terrible, which is why I have such a vocal opinion and hatred towards the animated Titanic flicks, After Last Season, and similiar works.

Tintorrero Killer Shark really annoyed me when I saw it. I think it was the guys being so macho and then literally killing sharks.

Ya know, I guess I'm being silly, but I think if I really wanted to I could demonstrate this to be untrue.  I'd say probably half an hour of Fellowship is action scenes, like 45 minutes of Two Towers, and an hour of Return of the King.  A movie being 20-30% action is actually a higher percentage than an average kung fu film or Arnold Schwarzenegger flick.

They're not my favorite films or anything (I've seen the trilogy twice - once in the theatre, once as the extended DVDs), and I can understand people thinking they're boring (if you don't care about the story at all, you'll probably find it boring especially with 3+ hour running times), but the whole "nothing but walking" bit I can't get on board with.

Still, I did think this was pretty great:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSB03lr69iU

I don't "hate" the LOTR movies but I'm in no hurry to see any of them again any time soon, either. They're beautiful pieces of work but they did nothin' for me.

I put LOTR in the same category as Star Trek - either you "get it" or you don't. Obviously I don't.

I literally fell asleep watching all of them on DVD even though I paused the hell out of them to take many much needed breaks

that's not enough to hate a movie IMO. You need that Craptastical feeling about it, like Xanadu.

Considering that I have read the LOTR trilogy over 30 times, can write in Sindarin, and have watched the EXTENDED CUT of the entire trilogy at least 10 times, it may be that I am  . . . well, maybe just a little . . . biased on this topic. :lookingup:


NAAAH!!! I'm totally objective.  You guys are all just losers!!! :bouncegiggle:

But I luv ya all anyway! :teddyr:

I didn't like any of the chracters. I found Sam, Gollum, the 2 twin hobbins and Froto annoying as all hell. The found the action scenes incredibly dull in all three movies. And has been pointed out all three of them are just walking movies, even the trees walked in those movies, and as a result incredibly boring.  I felt worn out at the end of them, depsite taking breaks. I really feel that an intermission in all 3 of them would have done wonders for them.

I'll agree with you there.  The extended versions (on that note, the extended ROTK I feel is a worse film for it, Two Towers is about the same, and Fellowship is the only one that benefits from it) essentially DO have an intermission since they're spread across two discs on DVD.  When I watched them, I took a break between them. 

How is this not on here?


POSTAL


Such a classic game, destroyed. Completely.
or anything Uwe Boll has put his dirty, stupid hands on.

Classic is not the word I would use to describe the game. 

Time for me to add a new one to the list.  I add The Nutcracker: The Untold Story.  I went over this film and its problems in another topic, but to sum up shortly:

It's a movie based on a ballet with no ballet and Nazi rat people riding jetpacks that have musical numbers.  That's all you need right there.

The Hangover:  Just never found the humor
SW Episode One: The movie added nothing to the story
Star Trek the motion picture:  Nothing happened
Jaws 3D and 4:  I dont think i need to explain myself here
Masters of the Universe:  Who the hell was Grilldore? We wanted Orco
Transformers Revenge of The Fallen: And we will just throw in the constructicons because we can
Spiderman 3:  2 many villains in one movie
Observe and report: I am sorry to report that I paid for this in the theatre.  (In my defense I wanted to see Madagascar 2 but the projector was broken)

I agree with you about THE HANGOVER. Zach Galifinakis is from my hometown, where he is so worshiped it makes me want to puke. My friend knew him from school and knew what he really was. Zach was a kiss ass who thought he was above everyone else because his family were rich (his grandpa was the mayor). Yeah, this guy paid his dues

when I started this thread back in April a lot of my opinions have changed from the very first post, so here's a new list of the complete list of my my hated films and each and every one of them managed to get me very angry and/or offended the hell out of me while watching them

The WIZARD OF OZ???
I usually be quite when folks say they dont like stuff.
Criminy-I think HORRORS of SPIDER ISLAND is cool!
But-really-the WIZARD OF OZ?
Were you ass raped as a child -it was on TV? to make you hate this movie? 
Why?

Don't ask why. Just do what we all do  :wink:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY-03vYYAjA

from the first post in this, but the reasons have changed, I don't hate all msuicals, I love Singin' in the Rain

the dream thing always p**ses me off, it's like being kicked in the nuts
the songs go forever and a  day
also there are some awful puns in there, which i hadn't noticed when I was a kid but did when I rewatched it earlier this year

Weak.  Weakberry.  Weak on your berry be.   :smile: :thumbdown:

Lot  of my all time faves here making the hate lists - I worked with Zero Mostel in '75, and while he was not a Mel Brooks fan, he was superb in the '68 version.  I thought the remake was a huge mistake.

The Slugger's Wife

Just thinking of the title makes me...oooh no...<burp>...jeez...<projectile vomits across three cubicles>

I'm also an Oz hater!  Well, I don't know about hate.  I really, really dislike the movie.  Basically, everything about the movie makes me dislike it.  Everything.  There is not one line of dialogue, one note of music, one frame of film that I like about The Wizard of Oz.  I've never managed to make it all the way through the thing.  It baffles me that anyone could possibly like it, yet it's one of the most beloved movies of all time.

I'll take The Wiz over this crap any day.  Return to Oz is a far, far superior film, as well.

THE WIZARD OF OZ is a paragon of Hollywood greatness.  I could see where somebody wouldn't care for it. 

Well, now that you mention it, that's something I actually left out of my original post up there.  Oz is so very, very "Hollywood".  It's loud, it's bright, it's slight, it's clean, and it's harmless.  A lot of people like that kind of thing.  Hell, I like that kind of thing on occasion, but not here.  Using the two movies I mentioned above as counterpoints, I prefer the ugly, grimy, gritty, scary urban decay of The Wiz or the dark and dangerous fairy-tale feel of Return to Oz.

I hate pretty much anything that involves Daniel Whitney. Or Dane Cook. Michael Bay annoys me, as well. Natural Born Killers is an interesting case for me, because I hate the hell out of it, but I like it at the same time so I watch it every seven months or so and enjoy it through the loathing. I can't really say why. Probably because I like Juliette Lewis for some reason and I think the soundtrack is kinda cool. It could have been so much more. I mean, you had the Tarantino script, how could you f**k that up? I'm not sure. Even True Romance was better. Oliver Stone's films all seem pretty pretentious, don't they? I have never seen the Lord of the Rings films, but I did try to read the book. I stopped because the books seem to have too much travelling and camping and describing gorgeous scenery, which isn't a bad thing, it's just at age twelve, I wanted Frodo to fight orcs and stuff and not have details about his many breakfasts throughout the day. I read The Hobbit, however. That was fun. I'll probably give The Lord of the Rings another read, though. Back to films I can't stand: Birth of a Nation. I know it's a classic and the first full-length feature film and very influential, but holy hell was it boring. I never even got to the racism that it's known for, because I was sure that part would keep me interested for its duration. I also hated the Tim Burton Batman movie. And the Star Wars prequels. So much. In fact, the Red Letter Media reviews of those films, which are approximately the same length as the films are, are much more entertaining. What's the deal with all the special effects in movies, now? Star Wars from 1977 was way more convincing as far as special effects and plot goes. A horror flick from the 1970's was way scarier than the s**t they have today. The Exorcist and Friday the 13th are infinitely scarier than their modern day counterparts. I also don't care for a lot of John Wayne films, although I don't have anything against him specifically. Most SyFy original movies qualify, usually because of the way too damn poorly done CGI. Also, I hated Battlefield Earth. The camera work alone almost made me barf. Then there's Blood Sucking Freaks, which I guess I don't actually hate it, I just have no desire to watch that horrifyingly tasteless film again.

Rev J. Darkside?  :question: 

RODNEY DANGERFIELD is awesome in NATURAL BORN KILLERS, a film I think one could both love and hate. 

The reason I like it-is because its happy happy joy joy.
My early childhood was scarred by evil and violence.
Once a year I could go to Oz.
I eventually went to horror films...when I was 7.
But thats a whole nother story...

But Wizard of Oz wasn't all sunshine if I recall correctly, there was some darkness there as is usually the case with most fantasy fare seems to me - you had death and the threat of death throughout and that witch and especially those freaking flying monkeys freaked me out first I saw 'em as a tyke. Bob seems to have trouble with fantasy as a genre I noticed given a lot of his selections. I think I have more trouble mainstream Westerns although I've come to appreciate the B-Westerns somewhat. I also tend to dislike films that seem out and out determined to just offend and shock me at the expense of story and/or characterization, even worse when I saw the potential for something great there within. Also don't tend to care for cookie-cutter glittered and glam crap, like a shiny new present wrapped up with a piece of crud hidden inside.

Solaris, the Hollywood remake. It is filmed like a soft-core porn film but without the porn. I've tried to watch it a few times but always get too bored before the end and put it off instead.

I saw the original Russian film a few months back on Youtube: what an amazing film  :smile:

wow so many ex-regulars that don't post here any more in this thread. hope they're all doing well


I'm 10 years dumber than when I posted this, and since then I've decided it's quite entertaining... albeit in a somewhat crappy way. the ending with the train tracks is really something

I hate I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978).   I also hate LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972). 

More than 'hate' is 'dislike'.
Star Wars 2nd and 3rd trilogy. The 2nd probably everyone dislike, but why the 3rd? Just simple: Disney. Actually in the latest years I dislike everything from Disney, from Marvelverse to Pixar. Even all that series from Disney+ or Star+. It's a crap.


Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the original. I watched it for the first time back on the 2000s and I realize that I don't need to watch the other parts. To be honest, when I seen it, at the end when Leatherface is anger swinging the chainsaw, looks like Benicio del Toro throwing a tantrum.

Any other "Texas Chainsaw" films have NOTHING to do with the original, which is a masterpiece.  It is never enjoyable.  Not understanding the ending is not getting the film. 

^ So, be it, I don't understand the movie. As I say before, it is not 'hate', it is 'dislike'.

Another one, The Raven (1935). I was thinking that the mix Poe and Lugosi and Karloff could be enjoyable, but to be honest, Bela Lugosi play the same character, Dracula.

Quick, hide before RC reads that.  :bouncegiggle:

Too late.
The part is NOTHING like Dracula. Bela doesn't use the unique hand gestures in the RAVEN.  As Dracula his voice is slower and more cadenced, and his hypnotic eyes are a focus.

In the RAVEN he's maniacal, sometimes laughing at his own  sadistic deeds. Dracula never laughs.

Lugosi could be quite versatile, if given the chance. Check out his almost lovable turn as Ygor in the SON OF FRANKENSTEIN.

Any Movie that has Will Ferrell or Dane Cook.

I'm a rabid Will Ferrell hater but I have to admit that his Mugatu role in ZOOLANDER is excelent. Probably the only good thing he has ever done in his life.

Scream (1996)

(https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/230519dc-1928-440e-8cef-b180ff1090f3_1.1423c0d1cb32af894295da62b1f0a524.jpeg?odnWidth=612&odnHeight=612&odnBg=ffffff)

During my high school days this movie was all over the place. When I was getting into the horror films of 1960's, 70's and 80's the rest of my school was obsessed over Scream. When I finally got around to watching it, I couldn't believe how over hyped and overrated it was. Scream is a slasher film for those that hate slasher films. If Kevin Williamson and snobbish critics actually did their research many slasher/horror films already had films that parodied or put spins on the formula. Its a film that thinks it is so cleaver and smarter then it thinks it is (April Fools Day, There's Nothing Out There, New Nighmare and others for example). The kills aren't that great, the humor is obnoxious, and reeks of everything I hate about 90's horror films.

I've also never been a huge Wes Craven after Last House on the Left, The Hills have Eyes, and Nightmare on Elm Street were the peak of his career. Everything else was a mess or clearly him being a director for hire. Scream was Craven's sell out moment. Scream also spawned all the knock offs like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Valentine, Urban Legend and the various sequels.

To steal Ebert's gimmick:

Even Zoolander he sucks the life out of that role..at least for me.  The rest of the movie and cast is fine.. just Ferrell is totally unfunny and untaltented

Someone on the first page mentioned Dondi and I would definitely concur. I can't think of a worse ass movie

From what I understand, SCREAM was supposed to be a parody of the slasher genre, aimed at its followers, filled with cliches and tropes that only they would recognize and enjoy. Strangely, it caused the opposite effect, and revitalized the genre like never before.

I hate:

Anna vs the Apocalypse
The Midnight Hour
Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Frighteners
The Funhouse Massacre
Hobo with a Shotgun
Hoboken Hollow
Larva
Leprechaun: Origins

..........and more to follow for sure

+1 for SCREAM. nowhere near as clever or sharp as it thinks it is.

the only 2 wes craven films I truly enjoy are LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and THE HILLS HAVE EYES PART 2! (don't even like the first one)

Ready Player One
To paraphrase a youtube comment-"Its a movie for people who think liking pop culture is a personality"

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol:2
Liked the first one. HATED the second one. Everyone felt like a parody of the characters they were in the first one. I've described it as a movie that's laughing too hard at its own jokes.

Why?  :question:

I am curious to know too.  ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is a great film from a wonderful play.  NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is a masterpiece. 

I have to admit I was wondering about the hate for Arsenic and Old Lace too. It is my favourite B/W movie.

To continue this awesome thread, I'm going to add one that I hate with a passion: A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. If I have to define that movie in a single word, it would be disgusting.

From the main characters, to the camera work, setting, dialog, scenes, and conclusion. Everything simply induces me a gag reaction. And the fact that almost everybody I know holds it as some kind of masterpiece makes it worse.

1. Those  Abrams drek movies. All of them.
2. Muphy's nutty professor movies.
3. White chicks.
4. 2025 the world enslaved by a virus.
5. The cloverfield paradox.
6. All christian movies that feature the usual angry straw man atheist.
7. The second IJ movie.
8. Ferris bueller meets notzilla.
9. Valley of the wolves.
10. I saw the devil.

That post was over a decade ago. I do not remember why I disliked them so much back then.

I recall not laughing at all at Arsenic and Old Lace.

ARSENIC AND OLD LACE can be tedious.  I still love it. 

Re: Arsenic, I read the play, watched it live, and watched the movie, and it was zany, but it was barely memorable.

I've seen Night of the Hunter twice, and it's bewildering, especially the underwater scene. Reminds me of the poem in Melville's Billy Budd.

POLAR EXPRESS (2004)  Hate it.   :hatred:  Like a particularly protracted Christmas dump; sh!t messages.
