The first Hobbit film in 48FPS is the worst film I've ever seen because it was visually unpleasant from start to finish.

Pretty much everything with Rey, Luke and Kylo is fantastic, and the rest is rather uneven.

Same. I could take back so many hours watching Netflix trash that way.

On the other hand I can claim to be one of the few thousand people on Earth to have seen Delgo.

I agree that it has some enjoyment and I think it's a very interesting failure, but I have no reason to suspect that it will ever be popularly considered to be on ESB's level.

I second Transformers 2 as the worst movie I paid to see. Childhood nostalgia and Detroit pride kept me watching those movies longer than I should have.

Movie I didn't pay for, I have no clue. My bartender friend plays some really obscure, bizarre poo poo. Like last night, he played the Phantasm trilogy just to be contrarian on Friday the 13th. I protested by playing Friday the 13th on the bars NES, but the joke was on me..

Worst movie I ever saw in a cinema was Mother!

Christ, that is a film that just expects you to give it a pass just because it uses every possible indie movie cliche possible.

For perspective I’ve also seen Mamma Mia! in the cinema. Mother! is worse

Worst flick I ever saw was some pile of poo poo with Mickey Rourke and Brittany Murphy as meth heads. It wasn’t so much the story or performances, just the direction and ‘style’ of it, it might have been trying to replicate the experience of using meth or whatever, I don’t know but IT WAS loving ANNOYING to a point where I wanted to hunt down the director and slowly feed them to pigs.

Compared to that, things like Revenge of the Fallen look like masterpieces of visual clarity and enjoyment.

The worst movie I paid to see objectively is probably Avatar The Last Airbender. The movie that I walked out of feeling the most angry should be The Dark Knight Rises edging out the moratorium movie and the first Amazing Spider-Man, because I like Batman a lil more than the other two.

I'm not really a Star Wars guy at all which is why I think I liked TLJ. It's the only Star Wars movie I've seen that I remember a lot of quotes, can think of a scene that really worked for me, and wanted to talk about after I saw it. Unfortunately, the discussion did not seem very friendly to my view of things.

Worst movie discussions are either going to go a subjective route (like "Green Lantern is the worst superhero film ever. Nothing worse has ever been made.")
Or you try applying objective criteria and it runs down a rabbit hole of people finding badly made, obscure films.

Something which is objectively hard to watch, cost millions, is offensive and also pissed off viewers is a good middle ground. So I'd nominate one of the Bay Transformers films, probably 2.

But going with the earlier post, I would fully accept the idea that the Last Jedi is the worst Star Wars movie. Yes, even above the Prequels.

Come and fight me.

Within The Last Jedi, there is an absolutely fantastic Star Wars movie. Unfortunately, there's a whole goddamn bunch of boring other stuff, and the movie ended up being sort of like a $500 steak that has poo poo for marbling. No matter how good the meat is, a lot of people just aren't gonna eat that steak. But there are some steak fans who just fuckin love some fuckin steak, and they're going to cut the poo poo from the steak and eat it happily, and there are some Star Wars fans that fast forward through the tedious parts or just honestly love every minute of the movie and I say gently caress yeah for them cause it owns when people get to watch movies that they like.

Mostly I'm pissed that John Boyega spent most of the movie sidelined with the B plot, because he's rad as hell.

So, if anyone was wondering, the chant that Black Panther is leading in that recent Infinity War trailer is "Yimbabe," which is Xhosa for "hold fast" and is also dope as hell.

Worst movie I saw in a theater is a tie between Valarian and Tomorrowland. I was going to say Battlefield Earth, but I went to that expecting it to be bad so we could laugh at it. A guy tried to give us Scientology pamphlets in the theater.


I just watched Valerian on Prime yesterday. It was like they told every actor involved to be bad, then gave them a bottle of Xanax. Except for Clive Owen, he was fun to watch.

E:Clive Owen does have basically a lifetime pass from me after Children of Men, though.

Also I have never walked out of a movie but I got dragged to and therefore paid hard earned dollars to see loving Doom of all things.

There was also some incredibly boring horror/found footage movie about some college kids visiting Japan who were haunted by a cg kitsune that was so mediocre it wasn't even so-bad-its-good.

The best part of Doom is right at the beginning, before the movie starts, where they do the Universal logo with Mars instead of Earth.

Not sure why they bothered with the whole "They have DOUBLE chromosomes! It's turning them into monsters!" (or whatever) thing because "There's a portal to Hell on Mars! Demons are coming through it!" is a perfectly good premise as it is.

It wasn't just limited to the movie. I can't remember where I saw this (might have been the Doom novels where the monsters were secret aliens.) But other adaption of Doom shy away from the idea that these creatures are from real deal Hell. Because a guy shooting them might anger the religious right or something.

What's on your mind, Axa?
I am way more willing to give flawed movies a pass than most I think, like most of the movies people have listed that I've seen I thought were ok, or at least enjoyable. But gently caress, The Last Airbender. Holy gently caress that movie was so bad. If it wasn't for the fact that I was there with my cousins I absolutely would have walked out.

Had some nice end credits though.

Edit: I've seen worse, but not in theatres.

Of course it makes no sense. The programmers wanted to make a game that was just like a Heavy Metal album cover. So they included skeletons with rocket launchers for shoulders. And came up with the rational for everything that it was from Hell.

But you are dealing with one of the most irrational organizations, that prizes money and blind devotion to dogma over any kind of logical thought.
But enough about Hollywood execs. The Catholic church probably wouldn't be too happy with you shooting sinners in the face with a shotgun.

The last jedi was bad, but at least it was interesting and had some cool shots. Worst superhero movie for me is a tie between x-men 3 and AoU. Disclaimer, i have not seen catwoman or electra. I get the feeling that they'd qualify if I had.

Though I think the last airbender would have them all beat

Everyone talking about worst movies clearly never had to watch lovely westerns with my dad on Sunday afternoons. Time actually slows down while you're watching them.

In terms of cinema releases though, yeah, Attack of the Clones is up there. Phantom Menace still has a bit of an aura about it. It's utter poo poo, but it's kind of fascinating to watch from a historical perspective.

For a movie to be bad it has to be a tedious chore to get through, have no enjoyable or memorable moments, and watching it actively makes you angry at how poo poo the story and characters are. AotC hits all those sweet spots for me. There's no reason for it to exist.

Also, Catwoman.

It's just occurred to me that I actually saw both Catwoman and Elektra on aeroplane journeys.

I remember I always used to see Elektra and Daredevil bundled together with a third movie in those cheap three movie dvd sets but I cannot for the life of me remember what the third one would've been.
