To balance out Nilandia's thread, name a sucky movie you've watched lately so we can all know to avoid it.
My first entry will be the movie Mirrors. It sucked, even with Jack Bauer kicking the crap out of a Deadite nun at the end.
Pretty much any movie on the sci fi network is terrible. It makes me upset a bit because I love horror/sci fi movies and sometimes the sci fi network will have a horror/sci fi marathon but they are the worst movies ever created.
I was having problems sleeping the other night and Ultraviolet was on. Holy shit what a turd.
Corpse Bride.
I tried watching it again to see if it's in fact any better than I remember it.
It wasn't. :/
What's not to like?! Corpses. Brides.
I had to watch this movie with Mandy Moore and Robin Williams as a priest.
You don't get to see her tits once. Negative five stars.
I thought that new Will Smith movie "7 Pounds" sucked donkey balls.
My friend made me rewatch Twilight. I swear it gets more embarrassing every time I see it. I snuck to the back of the nearly empty theater and used my cell phone to cast light on a book I was reading.
War Inc--I started watching and realized this really sucks and then put it in fast forward to see if it got any better. It didn't, so I shut it down.
Starship Troopers 2--Watched to entire film in fast forward to see boobies.
Shoot 'em up.
Cloverfield.
Forbidden Kingdom.
Damn I have more, need to think...
I saw that there's a sequel to Pink Panther coming up. I didn't see it recently, but holy shit, the first one was bad
I rented Shoot 'em up knowing it was suppose to be funny and not a serious action movie. I just felt the comedy wasn't up to par. I liked all the actors in the movie though.
As for Cloverfield, the guy who holds the camera through almost the entire movie was just a cheesy actor and it degraded the movie for me. The concept was great, but I just couldn't get by how shitty of an actor the camera guy was.
Shoot 'Em Up was hilarious.
Cloverfield made me nauseous.
Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love
Max Payne...
god that was horrible
"Taken"
While the movie wasn't completely awful, the best thing we could say was that it was sooo much better than "Firewall"
Watchmen.
I saw a Steven Seagal movie on some cable channel recently. Does the title really matter?
And I actually own a copy of Battlefield Earth.
Rented Wanted over the weekend. The beginning was alright, Angelina gave me a hard-on and I could even forgive the magic bullet thing, but the whole cloth fate horseshit? Lame. And then the kid at the end asks, "What the fuck have you done lately?" Well I fucking watched this half-assed movie is what I did, asshole. Also it's just not cool when Morgan Freeman says "motherfucker."
Wanted severely fucked up the source material. It kept a few of the good moments but was mostly a wash.
Contributions:
The Reader really isn't all the hot. Sorry folks.
For fucking real. How do they turn an action game into a movie where Max Payne goes an hour into it without shooting anyone?! Did any of them play the game? You can't get across the street without needing to kill someone!
I kinda liked Shoot Em Up as a purely nonsense film.
I kinda enjoyed Wanted.
What was a truly shitty movie was "What Just Happened" with Bruce Willis and DeNiro. It was like someone took a shit in my eyes, then ate the shit, and then puked up the vomit shit in my mouth. I don't even understand how you can make such a bad movie about making a bad movie.
Transporter 3 was really disappointingly bad. I liked the first one, the second one was okay, but this one dropped off the fucking roof. The chick was an annoying, dirty ginger.
The chick was the only part I liked. The ugly car and the preposterous nonsense plot were the bits that made me hate it.
Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things. Bunch of us re-rented it for nostalgia sake and yeah, it's still a terrible terrible movie.
Does anyone even KNOW anyone that watches those cheesy movies Sci-fi channel cranks out? They all look and sound terrible.
The Spirit was fucking terrible. Worse than battlefield earth terrible.
"Role Models" was all kinds of stupid.
I liked Shoot 'em Up, and this should go in the Guilty Pleasures thread: I like pretty much every Jason Statham movie, no matter how ludicrous or stupid. I have no idea, but I find him entertaining as an actor. I swear I'm not gay.
"the happening" will make you want to masterbate with sandpaper before you try watching it again.
I thought Twilight was pretty damn terrible.
I hope I just saved some of you a few bucks and a trip to Blockbuster. That was the end of my queue for Blockbuster online and I cancelled it after Bangkok Danerous. What a horrible line up of movies.Code:Bangkok Dangerous
Kevin Smith: Sold Out
Quarantine (the ending is the cover)
Mummy III
Pride and Glory
The Happening
Traitor
Rock N' Rolla
Lakeview Terrance
Appaloosa
Righteous Kill
Burn After Reading
Oh see, I wanted to Cut My Wrists After Watching.
I liked Burn After Reading too.
Quarantine wasn't horrible, it was a fairly typical horror movie imho. Towards the end though where that chick wouldn't stfu and kept screaming and screaming and screaming, I wanted to pound on her face a little. Granted I probably would've been screaming just the same, it's not something I want to listen to, lol.
With Quarantine, it was the stupid shakey camera technique like Cloverfield again. The plot was very boring and the acting was pure and utter shit.
Burn After Reading was much like Punch Drunk Love in the sense of the movie just making want to headbutt everything in sight.
That's funny because I just saw Burn After Reading last night. I was expecting a complete turd because my girlfriend picked it out but it was actually pretty funny.
"I thought you might be concerned about the security....of your shit."
Punisher - War Zone
What a holy vomitacular piece of shit.
lol true, it wasn't NEARLY as bad as Cloverfield though. For the most part I was able to see everything. That's not to say i'm not sick of that type of movie though.
I liked the plot though, probably because the idea of a mutated rabiesvirus is way scarier to me than some knife-wielding psycho who doesn't die for 10 sequels. Mostly because it can happen, heh.
I know I am going to get shit for this, but...
The last movie I had a hard time with was Dark Knight.
snoozer.
Death Race. Besides a hot latino that you see for about a total of 10 minutes, its a horrible movie. I still can't wait to see Hotel for Dogs, it looks fabulous
I saw Prom Night last night out of sheer boredom, and it sucked some major balls.
I enjoyed Burn After Reading but I also liked Traitor off of Ponzzz list. However I'll have to agree with the creators of south park.. Indiana Jones was raped. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ate shit.
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
Nacho Libre.
Waterworld.
whoa whoa whoa....Nacho Libre?
I always thought that it was butter on the corn but then someone told me it was mayonnaise. /gag
It works.
I feel like one of the few people in the world who loathe Jack Black. Tenacious D was nothing more than pure wankery and he plays the same character in virtually every film. He's a jumped up character actor, damnit.
I did like Kungfu Panda, though. Just for the opening dream sequence.
I was about to go to bed and saw The Golden Compass was on, and I got mad
I like the first 2/3rds of it... then the novelty died.
Twilight was gay as hell.
Oh, we're vampires and we don't go into sunlight not because it will kill us, but because it shows our true form, which instead of being some hellspawn demon looking thing, it's basically just a laminated version of what we already look like.
That movie failed on so many levels it's horrible. Anyone who actually liked this movie is either a) gay b) some myspace emo kid, or c) both.
The only remotely almost cool scene was when they were playing baseball.
License to Wed was horrid.
Haven't seen twilight. Read the books, though. They were enjoyable- though I don't really have a sense of terrible with stuff like that.
The Twilight vampires weren't laminated, they were bedazzled!
Punisher TWO (why?!) was alright if you like red pudding, rocks and horrible sound.
I think I loved Synedoche, NY, but I also think I might wake up as a fat ugly man in a warehouse.
Didn't like Gran Torino.
I felt all the way through that it was just a 114 minute, by the numbers, weak set up for a cheap shot at a new Milllion Dollar Baby.
Step Brothers.
Everyone said it was so funny, we just wanted the two hours of our lives back... :(
Taken...does not belong on this list. Saw it last night and enjoyed it. I am sure someone will disagree. It isn't THE BEST ACTUN MOVEE EVAR, but it was as good as I thought it would be.
It never ceases to amaze me how much I don't agree with the majority of the movie reviews around here. :D
I didn't think it was designed to be the best action movie. I saw (and enjoyed) it as a pretty intense drama that used great action scenes to ratchet up the tension. Of course I also have a daughter, so I'm sure that played a part in my perception of it.
Regardless, it's one of the best movies I've seen in the past few years.
There will be blood. I just thought it was boring as hell. Most people I have talked to about it loved it, WHY??
I Am Legend with Will Smith was actually pretty good.
Knowing. It was a great fuckin movie till the last 15 minutes. WTF!?!?
I think it depends on whether you've got someone like that or the legacy of someone like that in your family. My grandfather's father was a wildcatter and the after-effects of it certainly painted my grandfather, father, and me. There's a certain sort of ambition that consumes everything else. It helps that there's some really dark humor too.
Cleavagefield. Wesley would love it
http://www.dreadcentral.com/img/news/mar09/cleavb.jpg
"I Know Who Killed Me".. althought I only watched it for the lulz.. it's worth it for a good laugh.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
It wasn't that great. I felt the story line was shitty.
Last house on the Left.. Ugh..
Fast and Furious.
Haunting in Connecticut. Saw this with Seth on our date and well..all the exciting moments were already in the trailer, so wasn't anything good.
One Good Cop with Michael Keaton and Rene Russo. Heartwarming and full of ultraviolence. Like a John Woo movie.
Stardust - what a turd, I was able to sit through the first 45 minutes so I feel I gave it a good chance.
I'm gonna stop reading this thread. You people depress me. :(
Transporter 3. Eurotrash fun.
Kung Fu Panda. <3
knowing.
good ending though
I just got home from seeing Knowing a little bit ago too. It really hit you over the head with its message in the last twenty minutes of the film.
Personally, I have to wonder why they chose to look like German techno artists.
The Haunting of Molly Hartley. I am in awe of the power it must have taken to compress a turd into DVD form, surely akin to the pressure that makes a diamond from a lump of coal although without the pretty results.
The same co-worker who dragged me to Twilight recommended this to me and I have to wonder what the hell happened to her brain. She must have been traumatized at a very early age to appreciate this kind of film.
I went back to bed and when I woke up Armageddon was on. What a steaming pile of shit.
Wow... I saw Crank 2 High Voltage last night.
Um... wow. They really wanted the terrible movie title, but at one point you can just realize they're trying for it.
Star Trek.
Absolutely sucked.
Juuust kidding. Star Trek was fucking awesome.
I loved Quarantine....until the ending.
Yeah, Quarantine, the ending suuuuckkkked
This fucking Zohan movie sucks
Zohan.
So stupid its funny.
Terminator Salvation
It doesn't fit my paradigms.
I watched The Strangers last night. What a steaming pile that was.
The best thing I can say for the new Terminator is that it was better than Wolverine.
Wolverine just made me angry.
This summer has a lot to live up to after last year, and so far, it ain't.
I'm surprised by a number of the movies being mentioned here. Traitor, Taken, Kung Fu Panda...I liked them all. Not winning any awards, for the most part, but good.
I LOVE Shoot 'em Up. You just need to know what you're getting when you go in, and you end up highly entertained and not disappointed. Same with Fast and Furious, I got what I expected out of that film, and it was a fun popcorn flick. I guess that describes most Vin Diesel movies, come to think of it.
Yeah taken was good. Liam Neeson (or however you spell his name) seemed like an unlikely hero, but he played it well.
I'm always a sucker for the scenes in movies where the good guy tells the bad guy how he's going to kick their ass.
In Taken... the part where he describes his skillsets accumulated over the years
In Rambo 1st blood part 2 (the vietnam one) John Rambo is captured and forced to call in to headquarters where he dials in Murdock and says he's coming for him. This happens in about every rambo movie.
True Lies... Umm... Schwarzenegger? is handcuffed to a chair about to be tortured then he describes to his captor in detail how he is going to kill him. Then explains that he's picked the cuffs before executing his described plan.
the list could go on.
Knowing. This one was kinda split between good and bad, though. I think it had real potential and the first, half maybe, was decent. But the last 20 minutes was just a downward spiral into a giant foaming puddle of gay. In fact, I spent most of those 20 minutes looking like this:
http://assets.knowyourmeme.com/i/361...facepalm-1.jpg
Knocked up was stupid. Juno was stupid.
Also Tropic Thunder....WTF x infinity??
The ending of Knowing was pure garbage.
NO U.
Knocked up. I saw it when I was pregnant and it made me hate the world. So I'm jaded. Dont see movies while you are pregnant. Just the act of sitting and not peeing for a long time sucks in itself. :D
Tropic Thunder was so many levels of dumb i dont know where to start. Were the actors pretending to act like stupid actors or were they actors that were stupid enough to be able to fake a stupid role? Sorry no. I get paid to problem solve, I do not like to problem solve in my leisure time. Especially when the problems to be solved are a mixed identity crisis of a pretend actor who is pretending to act. Or something.
Choke--was expecting a lot... so let down.
Also--I think this summer has been totally saved by the awesomeness of Star Trek, everything else has blown. But I don't think anything has sucked harder than Transformers 2. That was just flaunting it's horribility.
WORD INVENTION.
Tried to watch Mall Cop. Couldnt make it through it. It was anything but funny.
:(
I've been watching a horrible, horrible movie. The Fury, 1978, Kirk Douglas.
"A psychic girls helps a spy find his psychic son, kidnapped by a renegade scientist."
Truly awful.
In the "so bad it's good" category, Lawnmower Man
Encino Man wasn't bad. It was just plain great. :D
Although it did kinda mark the end of Sean Astin's adorable Goonies phase and the beginning of Sean Astin's creepy rest-of-his-life phase.
Yeah when I think of just how creepy he's really become, that role definitely stands out most. I know it was just a role, totally fake, and I'm sure he's awesome IRL but he just skeeves me out.
He stars in an animated PBS show now.
Haha, link?
It's called Special Agent Oso.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN3F8-A2-AQ
Yes but I wanted to stay on topic ;)
It's a decent kids program, I watch it with Cameron sometimes and he seems to like it.
Saw Knowing today. Because of this thread my expectations were low. I expected some serious Dude, Wheres My Car stupidness at the end but it wasnt so bad.
Best part, a little over halfway through the movie some tall blonde guy opens his mouth and sunlight and church music comes out. I was all like...."wait, its not the last 20 minutes yet, its not allowed to get stupid!"
I don't understand how anyone doesn't love Tropic Thunder. That movie was freaking hilarious, and I will be buying it some time in the not-too-distant future.
Knowing was the definition of wasted potential.
Transformers 2 made my inner child cry.
Push was fun, but nothing amazing. Some wasted potential, but NOTHING compared to Knowing. Worth seeing if the opportunity presents itself.
"Hotel".

FUCK YOU!!!! FUCKCKCKCKCK
LOLWUT
horsemen..
had a decent plot/story... however, they screwed up the black horse which is usually famine, called it pestilence. in the translations pestilence was another name for conquest aka the white horse not black. this actually didn't really bother me, what bothered me was the screaming pile of molded turd of an ending it had
Dragonball Evolution. Rented it knowing it was going to be supremely fucking awful and it didn't miss a beat. It stands among other movie adaptations from gaming/anime culture that make you wonder if anyone involved in the creation of the movie has ever actually seen a YouTube clip of the media they're translating, nevermind an episode.
It seems like they made the film just to piss off fans. It certainly wasn't made for the fans and there's no way this pile of shit would draw new blood to the following.
Punisher Warzone. I can see why Thomas Jane turned this one down. Worse piece of shit movie I've ever forced myself to watch.
I just recently saw Wristcutters...
Some people raved about it.. I for one, couldn't make it through the first half hour.. was ...boring to say the least.
Mary Poppins!!<!!!
best movie ever
...SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS...
I want an avatar that is mary poppins with a vader helmut
"Youth in Revolt" - It had so much promise until it became a Fight Club wannabe.
Grown ups was terrible.
Terrible.
Splice.... Dubya Tee Eff.
Saw Bitch Slap last night. Funny in that really-really-horrible-but-knows-it's-really-horrible sort of way.
Dragged a bit in some places, even by the above standards.
Forced to watch Sharktopus. I thought I might throw myself in the fireplace about 30 minutes in. Even the dogs left the room. Ugh.
The Last Air Bender
I don't go to the movies much, and this thread is pretty much why - 90% of the excrement Hollywood calls movie production is bad.
Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 1. Quite a disappointment:(
Oh fuck man, do NOT rent or buy Alien Uprising. I like alien movies but I've become a little cautious about renting movies I've never heard about from Comcast On Demand, so I googled it first. Not a word about it on Rotten Tomatoes but I thought, "hey, it's got Jean Claude Van Damme in it, how bad can it be?"
Pretty fucking bad it turns out.
Van Damme is only in it for like 8 minutes. He actually has a hand in one of the best scenes of the whole movie but that's only because he gets peeled and exploded by an alien ship (a fate I was wishing on the director, writers, and producers by that point.)
I will admit that there were a few surprises and some tense moments but most of it was amateurish shaky camera angles, over emoting actors (all of whom you end up hating), and inexplicable events that are never explained.
But the worse sin of all...not a single FUCKING alien for most of the movie and then, when they do show up it just feels like a total cheat.
What amazes me most is that Comcast had the nerve to ask for $6.99 to rent this POS rather than the normal 4.99. What a joke.
edit: apparently the title was changed for the U.S. release. It was U.F.O. when first released in Britain.
The Dark Knight Rises.
What a heaping pile of crap. Bale looks beat.
Obvious Darth Vader rip off with Bane. With a little Father Christmas accent thrown in. Utter crap.
Hathaway does not even save it.
You're kidding right?
Man of Steel. Not a bad movie but not a great movie. Full credit to Henry Cavill who makes a great Superman. The rest of the cast was either bland or over the top. Ridiculous level of destruction. A grain elevator explodes when Zod and Supes Crash through it...wheat is combustible? Mediocre soundtrack. A decent origin movie that could be a lot more in a sequel. And lighten it up a bit, enough with the Nolan effect.
>However, many otherwise mundane materials can also lead to a dangerous dust cloud such as grain, flour, sugar, powdered milk and pollen. Many powdered metals (such as aluminium and titanium) can form explosive suspensions in air.
Grain silo explosions are quite real and devastating.
Yeah it's cars exploding that is fakey fake. Grain silos can't even have electric light switches.
Detention of the Dead. Think Breakfast club with lame characters in a high school full of zombies. But, as bad as it was, I still enjoyed it. Tons of little zombie/cult movie cliches.
Cabin in the woods. I kept wanting to turn it off but didn't. Gets better at the end. :D
Agreed on Cabin. It really got crazy good by the end.
Beautiful Creatures
I was so excited for the movie that I decided to read the book first. The book was great! Really enjoyed it, bought the sequel... so I finally sat down and saw the movie, all prepped for awesomeness and I was sorely disappointed. They practically rewrote it.
Gravity: Laughably bad. You bastards told me it wasn't all Sandra Bullock whining. You didn't mention is was only mostly Sandra Bullock whining, and the rest was terrible physics.
Riddock: Vin Diesel, that lovable prisoner scamp, and his animated dog find boredom on a deserted planet.
Anchorman 2, I died a little inside...
Pacific Rim was on so I watched it. Now I know why it failed so badly at the box office.
herpaderp
I liked Gravity.
Anchorman 2. That has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I'm not a Will Farrel fan but I actually enjoyed the first movie. It's like they took everything that worked the first time and just redid it in a more obvious, obnoxious way that turned out to be completely unfunny.
Also:
Trance - I had some hope for this movie, I really like James McAvoy and Vincent Cassel. They just tried to make it more convoluted than it needed to be. The acting was good though.
Aside from their penis (ROFL), you should watch the video for her solo in Les Miserables. It was the only shining moment in that 2+ hour movie of complete and utter shit. I think she's extremely talented.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzNVmZfNoa8(You may have to turn it up, the sound was crazy low for me)
That's the truth. I couldn't even finish it. The imagery was cool though I felt a bit nauseous at time. It bummed me out to think that now everyone's got the impression that Hubble, The Space Station and that chinese skylab are all neighbors. You can jet pack from one to the other on weekends and have a BBQ.
Because I didn't learn from Identity Thief: The Heat
The Dictator
The English Patient
Die Another Day
