Worst US Theater released movies ever made… 80’s and up

[fallacy]

Star Wars Episode One. There actually bringing this pile of Sh*t back to the theaters in 3D? Ha haha!.. I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

Kazaam;  Staring Shaq - I would let it go if it was marketed for kids like Spy Kids or 3 Little Ninjas but it was not.

Batman & Robin;  What were they thinking, you really can’t get worse then this movie on every level. I mean I have not actually watched the whole thing, but that is only because if I try to watch a little bit on TV I run to the bathroom pucking from having witnessed so much suck all at one.

Down to Earth; Chris Rock film, supposed to be a comedy. Till this day it’s been the only film I have ever walked out the theater in the middle of the movie.

Fun topic.

+1 for Batman and Robin. Easily the worst Batman movie, and probably the worst superhero movie ever. George Clooney was terrible as Batman, Arnold was terrible as Mr. Freeze...come to think of it, everyone in that movie was terrible except maybe Michael Gough as Alfred. The dialog and story were terrible too. It's almost so bad it's good...but really, it's just bad.

Titanic. Blech. They're re-releasing this one in 3D too. Possibly the most overrated movie ever. The so called "love story" is stupid, thanks to terrible acting and writing. Everything after the ship hits the iceberg should have been great, but it's ruined by the whole love story motif.

Pearl Harbor. Again, a movie about a historic event that really should have been good, but they have to stick a love story in there. I have nothing against love stories per se, but when it's in the wrong movie with the wrong actors, it's painful and embarrassing to watch. Look, make a stupid ass love story with pretty boy actors or make a war/historical movie. Don't try to do both at once.

Armageddon. Do I even need to explain why? Just a bunch of noise with a stupid plot and silly acting.

This is all I can think of for now.

It would probably be easier if we could divide the movies up by era or some other category but I'll give it my best shot.

Alice in Wonderland (2010): Don't get me wrong. I like Johnny Depp. I like Tim Burton. I really like Alice in Wonderland. But this damn movie just falls flat on its face. I've attempted to watch this move four times already and each time I never make any further than... I dunno some point in the movie. Can't even remember because my brain hemorrhages and I slip into a coma every time. Hands down, I would have rather have had American McGee try his hand at his version of Alice on the big screen. 

The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions: What.the..were.the.Wachowski.brothers.thinking?! How do you take one of the greatest Science Fiction films of all time with a fight scene that rivals Star Wars, bend it over, then ass ream it with a broken condom? Not just once, but twice and during one insanely long shoot?

Twilight Saga: Any of the movies. Just die. Just  die damn you. Vampires are NOT teen angst love stories. They are horror. Period. Interview with a Vampire was OK. It got me laid. Twilight Saga will not now nor ever get anyone laid. Only way this will ever get knocked off the stupid throne is when they release a Zombie love flick (Another if the previous is borked).

Moving into the  90's

Hercules (1997 Disney): I believe this is the first film that really spelled out just how crappy Disney animation studios have gotten and the internal craptastic films Disney continues to make. The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire,Treasure Planet and so on. It wouldn't have been so bad if Disney let the damn movies die a peaceful death but some of the movies were actually made into T.V. series. What the hell?

Star Wars Episode One. There actually bring this pile of Sh*t back to the theaters in 3D? Ha haha!.. I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

+1 3D? WHY?? He got the formula so wrong in Ep1 that it might as well be taken out of the canon. Lucas had an excuse for the Christmas Special, he has no excuse for this one.

I can't think of any crap films from the 80's since they're so campy anyways.

I can't believe you guys are disparaging some of my favorite unintentional comedies.

[SavannahLion]

Howard the Duck

Can't imagine why. Any movie that keeps my idiot neighbor kids quiet for an hour and a half and destroys their sense of being is ace by me.

[SavannahLion]

I remember watching The Animal on DVD and at the end, my dad was like, "they could have made a movie about aliens, and instead they made that."

I have to admit, that's a pretty good rule of thumb for the quality of a movie.  If the money and talent would have been better used making a movie about space aliens then you've just seen a stinker.

I disagree. David Manning thought it was a very good film and I agree with everything David Manning says.

You episode one haters really need to pay attention to this guy.  He nailed it.  I was 10 and thought the street fighter movie was just awful.


I would also like to add one of the worst movies I ever remember seeing in theaters:

Oh, and this other gem.  Although when I saw it first I liked it....what to 7 year olds know?


Oh, and we can't forget the WORST SEQUEL EVER MADE!!

The only movies I've ever walked out of at the theater are Mr. Holland's Opus and Closer. There are plenty more that deserved it (even some that probably deserved it more), but those two will always belong to a special club for me.

I hated Mr. Holland's Opus but didn't walk out on it.  Was there anything in-particular that caused you to get up and leave?

Ya I was like 13 and I thought the same thing. That was not Street Fighter that was Street Dildo in the Ass!

Worst Movies ever made? I think not good sir.

[Trip]

Everyone in the theater but me and my future wife walked out of The Majestic (with Jim Carrey if you never heard of this one, it was bad and forgetful)

It was one of the most awesome movies I have ever seen in a movie theater.  Have no idea what it was about, but it was f'in awesome.  LOL

If it happened now, unfortunately I think me and my wife would be the ones leaving...boo

Howard the Duck – I don’t really  remember this one

90's

Showgirls – This one provided me some porn as a kid.. so it has a special place in my heart.
Bio Dome – I thought it was entertaining as a kid so it can’t be all that bad.
North – I sure I watched it but don’t remember.

00's

Gigli - The Worst Movie – It got such bad review in the box office how many people even bothered to watch it?
Catwoman - Ehhhhh
Battlefield Earth - Always giving Gigli a run for it's money – Now here is a truly sh*ty movie. humorless, bad acting, bad story. Even as a kid you would be like turn this crap off.

It was just so sappy and melodramatic and exploitative and manipulative. Like the director thought (and I think this truly is the case) that he (she?) can get away with absolutely anything so long as (s)he dangles a handicapped child in front of you . . . because you're not going to say anything bad about a handicapped child, right?

It was boring and asinine. Just every second of it awful. But look how beautiful this precious damaged child is . . .

My wife and I walked out of "The Fifth Element", and we don't walk out of many movies.

But apparently a lot of people loved that movie. 

Hell, Imdb even shows a 7.5 of 10

If you can't sit through a movie after dropping 10 bucks on it, it's a bad movie.

I’ve sat through a lot of crap. It may have been bad, but watching nothing was worse.

Jack Frost was the only movie I ever walked out on.

[Cakemeister]

Ghost Dad
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (didn't see this one)
Dead Ringers
Mystic River
Punch Drunk Love (didn't see this one, either)

[Green Giant]

Wow PBJ, what sort of movies do you like?


I do find the results of this question quite funny.  You can really tell the people that have seen A LOT of movies vs. those that just go when they are expecting something good and get disappointed.

My wife and I walked out of "The Fifth Element", and we don't walk out of many movies.

Really?  I like the fifth element, still do.  It is just a fun sci-fi movie.  I can only imagine that both of you hate sci-fi and went to see it cause of bruce willis.

[shmokes]

Happy Feet

Indiana Jones 4

+1 on both of those. I didn't see Happy Feet in the Theater. Had I, it would have been the third movie I walked out of. I watched it on DVD with my daughter when she was like 3--I made it through the whole movie more-or-less, for her sake. I couldn't believe how awful it was. And the ham-fisted political message constantly being jammed down my throat had me gagging, even though I'm about as flaming liberal as they come.

[popsicle]

Indiana Jones 4

Unbelievably bad.  An insult to Temple of Doom even.

Caddyshack II?

Jaws the Revenge?

Hollow Man?

I absolutely loved it. It is just so offbeat and humorous; a great throwback to the lovable campyness of older sci-fi films like Total Recall. The whole movie is a parody.

[Donkbaca]

Hugo was terrible.  How in the heck that was nominated for best picture is beyond my comprehension.

English Patient won best picture and it, along with the Hurt Locker, are best picture garbage.

Where the Wild Things are is soul crushingly horrible, considering i loved that book when I was a kid.

[spoot]

Any frame of film with Ruby Rhod should have been on the cutting room floor.  What a bleeping mecrob of a character he was.......ugh.

[Well Fed Games]

One year I rented movies based on what had done well at the Oscars, so I picked up Gangs of New York and Monster's Ball. Horrible, unlikable movies filled with unlikable characters. I quickly learned that the "academy's" taste in movies and mine would rarely match up.

Unrelated, but relevant: I also hate "Pay it Forward" with all of my being.

+1 I couldn't remember that characters name, but good god, just awful.

Thing is, we're both huge sci-fi geeks. Maybe it was just the timing of when we saw it, just wasn't in the mood for that, I don't know.

But the only other movie I can remember walking out of was "Mom and dad save the world".

[Vigo]

I laughed ---my bottom--- off at Ruby Rhod. Perfect parody of prince. He was only a whiny ---smurfette--- because that is what Prince is, you are suppose to hate the guy.

[hypernova]

Yup, most Eddie Murphy movies lately.

Battle LA

[Trip]

It's crazy to see how different people's tastes are, how some people love a certain movie and some people just absolutely hate it.


I forgot about this movie, don't know how, but it absolutely made me want to track down the producers/screenwriter and physically hurt them.

Skyline

[drventure]

I laughed ---my bottom--- off at Ruby Rhod. Perfect parody of prince. He was only a whiny ---smurfette--- because that is what Prince is, you are suppose to hate the guy.

Yeah, I can see that now. If we watched it again, we might have a very different take on it now.

Skyline was definitely annoying in many ways, but at least watchable.

Pretty much the same with Battle LA. Chock full of "WTF" but still watchable.

[Vigo]

Bridge to Terebithia.

[spoot]

Sure but I hated it sooooo much I nearly hit "stop" to end the pain and throw the dvd on the shelve to never be completed.  Pretty sure I got up to get a beer or sumthing to get away.

[Vigo]

hehe, that is probably the way to react to about everything Chris Tucker is in.

[selfie]

Wow some films I really enjoyed are listed here...

I will defend Indy 4, yes it was dissapointing but it was no Matrix sequels.

Pearl Harbour would have been a lot better if it finished after the attack on Pearl.

Am I the only one who saw Ghost Rider???
