Film What’s the worst film you’ve ever watched?

Most films coming out every year are poor. I once read a critic say you can count on one hand the amount of really good films each year. Films that blow you away.

So really one should be asking what film that was supposed to be brilliant was poor. The most recent i can think of is top gun maverick.

About three or fours years ago, a friend and I spent Halloween at a movie theatre/museum in Düsseldorf. We watched three films in a row. A good one (The Death of Louis XIV), a solid one (The Nightmare) and an obscure German religious satire. The movie we saw was apparently the only known analog copy to exist. Which was kind of cool. The movie was called The Ghost. I’ve never seen anything that incredibly bad. Not a single joke landed. It was awful. If given the opportunity, I’d have gladly destroyed that last copy to spare others the pain.
 
Some of you did not grow up in the direct-to-video market boom of the 80s-90s and it shows.
 
I thought sorry to bother you was god awful, but by far the worst movie I’ve ever seen (major movie wise) was the Great Wall.

Going to be honest here, you were talking about Con Air, Face Off and the Rock in the movie thread and I hadn't seen the latter two. So watched all three with the girlfriend the last week, and really liked The Rock, great movie. Con Air also good fun, although I knew that already
 
I go with the Irishman. That film was ment to be a good movie.

Its also stunning how reviews can be twisted if they see a great director and a bunch of great actors. Read several places that this was a good movie. I had hopes for it, i had no idea what a shit movie it was.

Like, they're not good films. But they are entertaining. I love how they get crazier and crazier. A series that was all about the cars and street racing and pink slips, became a series in which cars can literally drive into space and super soldiers.

Except Hobbs and Shaw. That is terrible.

You know what? Least you gave it a go. I think Face/Off has probably aged the worst of the three anyway. But come on... "I'm Castor Troy!" Love that scene in the prison.

I agree with every word in this post.
 
Any Jason Friedberg/Aaron Seltzer movie.

I remember sitting in university dorms with a whole bunch of people watching Date Movie on DVD and no-one laughed once and everyone looked so embarrassed watching it. The kicker was that everyone had been out drinking too so not even being half cut helped. I think we shut it off half way through once we realised it was a bunch of topical references and lame jokes.
 
Death Under Hellgate Bridge.
 
Some of the latter American pie installments just ended up be absolutely garbage to a point they were worse than a shit porno.

Also it seems there's been a flurry of absolutely plotless SciFi movies that seem to have an semi interesting premise and barely last 10 odd minutes before you end up asking yourself why you ever wasted your time with that. Especially in the last few years there's a plethora of SciFi catalogs on Netflix etc but most of them turn out to be someone had a half baked idea and just decided to give it a shot without thinking it through. There was one with Natalie Portman which basically made me stop watching this genre altogether given how it finished worse than an average random Black mirror episode which is the epitome of a 10 minute idea stretched over 90 minutes and nothing significant really happens. It's called Annihilation.

Worst part is these kinda movies get hyped up by pseudo intellectual morons who wanna act like these movies have cracked some of the most challenging scientific dilemmas and what not. It's basically exactly what the parody scene in Breaking Bad where P and Badger while on meth come up with that star trek plot except it's been done and getting praised for real. :wenger:
 
2012. The CGI was pitiful but somehow the storyline and acting were worse.
 
I thought Inception was terrible. Two thirds of the screentime was just explaining the exceptionally tedious plot.
 
I watched about 15 movies of one of the Deuce Bigalow films and that was fecking appalling. Just couldn't watch another minute.
 
The Impossible is one that stands out, as I saw it in the cinema and it was feckin crap.

Think bad films are definitely worse when you've spent money to watch them
