one of the worst movies I ever saw was Jeeper Creepers. Was the only movie I walked out of at the end and actually went up to the theater window and asked for my money back.. Also the worst movie ever is actually this.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"Manos"_The_Hands_of_Fate it actually states that it is the worst movie ever on the box, and has a 9% approval rating on rottentomatoes.com and only has one positive review
I've seen too many bad movies recently to go into it. But thanks to Netflix, I've seen some great tv series. Anyone seen The Wire? That was an awesome HBO series! :happy096 Even better than The Sopranos.
Lady in the Water (speaking of good ol' Shyamalan . . .) Yellow Submarine (most brain-draining waste of however long it took to be over, ever!)
The Wall While sober. Speaking of M Night Shamalamadingdong movies. The Village was by far his worst.
I re-rented "The Village" tonight to see if maybe I remembered his past movies wrong or something. Nope I still thought it was a great movie. Many levels going on there, fear, religion, etc. I also got "Batman Begins" which turned out to be another great show. "The Wall"? How dare you sir!
In the past Friday I went to see Burn after reading and.... I didn't like it. I was expecting a better movie with that kind of cast and being from the Cohen Bros... I don't recommend it.
ARGH! I had ALMOST...ALMOST forgotten the trauma of that movie. I agree...good movie. But damn. That was about 5 years ago.
Funny . . . I thought it was the only one of his worth watching. All the rest are just tediously stupid.
Crash. The one with Sandra Bullock and Brendan Fraser. Also known as the non-Cronenberg one. Two + hours of people hurling racial epithets at each other and otherwise being crude and cruel does not make for a good movie, or even a watchable movie, in my opinion. I know it got lots of praise but I hated it and I will not recommend it to anyone.
I have to agree with the M. Night comments. The Sixth Sense was entertaining. The Village and Signs were tolerable. Everything else has been pure crap. Honestly, if The Sixth Sense hadn't come out first, this man would have been a flash in the pan. I didn't even bother watching The Happening. Lady in the Water was so pointless and mind-numbingly boring, I have forever given up on him. Other wastes of my money: Solaris with Clooney. Near the end, I was too bored to care if there was a point. The Fountain - so convoluted and disjointed, there was a potentially interesting plot, I just think they forgot to add it. And, as much as it pains me to say it, the first 3 Star Wars movies - The Phantom Menace (aka Can We Kill JarJar Already?), Attack of the Bad Script, and Revenge of the Overblown Special Effects and Horrendous Dialog.
Cloverfield (Didn't they learn with Blair Witch about the video camera gimmick crap?) Hannah Montanna in Concert (Don't Ask) The Spiderwick Chronicles (Blah, blah, blah, another book to movie crap.) College Road Trip (Don't ask again) Nim's Island (Oh, please. Even daughter thought this was crap.) Meet Dave (Another Eddy Murphy crap fest.) I've had to endure a bunch of crappy movies this year. How depressing. Courtesy flush please!
Apparently no one here has seen "Druids". If you had, you'd know it is clearly the worst move EVER. It's the ugliest people that could be found in Ireland acting poorly in a movie about talking about going to war, without any action. OK, one scene has "action" - the main characters get flashed by ugly old women.
If you're talking about movies that were supposed to have been taken kind of seriously but really sucked, I would say Titanic, Water World, Blair Witch Project, almost any prequel or sequel and almost any movie made with Sly Stallone (except Death Race 2000).
+1 But the Tarkovsky version's pretty good. +1000000000. How did they miss Hayden Christensen's lack of acting skill? I am so mad at George Lucas for making such a steaming pile of stuff from a potentially good premise. :mad:
Lucas never really recovered after Howard the Duck. Incidentally, the original trilogy (episodes 4, 5, and 6) were so much better due to the fact that Lucas had some real talent working with him. Most notably, on the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, he had Lawrence Kasdan helping him on the screenplay. That helped a lot, although there were still some doozies in there. On 1, 2, and 3, he did almost all of the writing and directing, only having someone help him with the writing on number 2 (the crappiest of the 3, if I had to choose). These movies seemed to be little more than an opportunity to show just how cool ILM could make special effects, and to show that you could film a whole movie almost entirely in front of a green screen. Unfortunately for him, shortly thereafter, Peter Jackson came out with the Lord of the Rings movies, with even better, more realistic looking, and certainly more impressive, special effects, and still have a compelling plot (granted he had some good source material to work with). I love Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor, and these movies really wasted their talents. Hayden Christiansen was horrible, and that is putting it mildly. I think you could have gotten more emotion and less of a wooden performance from a piece of wood. And the "romantic" scenes were truly painful to sit through. So much potential squandered. The cynic in me believes that Lucas was banking on the hope that people would watch them in droves, regardless of how crappy they were, just to find out how it all started - and he was right.
One I will be watching this weekend is Wonderful World of Disney's "Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh," starring Patrick McGoohan. Disney Treasures just released it. It includes the original 3 part tv series and the British Theatrical release in Wide Screen. I've been waiting a long time for this to come out.
