[Closed] Poorest films you've seen?

Not seen Last of the Mohicans then.

Like I said any Daniel Day-Lewis film including that massive cheesefest. Nice back drop though.

You've got to rate Gangs of New York surely?

I think you could pretty much do a sub-thread with the poorest films you've ever watched starring Michael Caine. Here's 'Bullseye!'

300 rise of an empire just appalling, dire boring dull rubbish shite.

Thomas and The Magic Railroad.

You've got to rate Gangs of New York surely?

Had potential but failed.

film threads make me so angry but theres no point arguing...

worst film ever is Green Street.

I'd forgotten one: Piglet's Big Movie. So crap that even my (then) 4 year old daughter on her first ever visit to the cinema got bored.

Eat, pray, love.

.....and I actually paid to watch it, all of it 😡

This seems relevant...

(...though again I think [i]some[/i] of those movies are actually okayish, even if they aren't high art)

Cloud Atlas - expected better but spent most of the first hour laughing at the fake noses.

conan the barbarian, the new one - plot, acting, it has neither
scorpion king 2, see above, and not even any decent action
inglorious basturds, tried a few times, failed to find it interesting in any way and never made it past the start

On the Adam Sandler question, while he is undoubtedly a very poor actor, I did enjoy Happy Gilmore. Any film pointing out the ghastliness of golf has some merit, and of course the immortal exchange:
Shooter McGavin: "I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast"
Happy Gilmore: "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast!"

Also Citizen Kane is consistently rated as one of the best ever. I kept waiting for it to get going. Dull, very dull.

Citizen Kane

Sandlers sold out, but as said Happy Gilmore is great - as is Punch Drunk Love and The Wedding Singer.

cannot comprehend the Inglorious comment. its one of the best openings in cinema ever!?

inglorious basterds, shall not be accepted, great film.

This seems relevant...

This has reminded me that I walked out of The Avengers, thus making it the only film I've walked out on. Meet Joe Black is still worse purely on the grounds that they were really trying.

Independence Day - so bad on so many different levels. I'm always surprised to be the first to suggest that on such threads.

I think we need a female equivalent to the Adam Sandler/Daniel Day Lewis/Nicholas Cage bilge-fest

Any film with Jennifer 'I used to be in Friends, and have a haircut' Anniston in it. How the hell they keep paying that woman to make films is beyond me. I believe she made one recently with Adam Sandler. A critical mass of unwatchable drivel was reached. Mark Kermode said it was the worst film he's eve seen. I have no reason to doubt him

My Direness Scale works on potential vs outcome.

A film has a huge budget, decent actors, good source material and is still a turkey is a much bigger crime than a low budget young director whith ideas that don't quite pan out. And add a star for gratuitous inclusion of either space ships or Jim from Neighbours.

The high spot of awfulness by those criteria is Prometheus.

Indiana Jones the Crystal Skull redeemed itself with one scene.

But then it is self-selecting - I know not to put myself through anything with Jennifer Aniston, either of Brangelina or Tom Hanks. or anything based on a computer game.

Indiana Jones the Crystal Skull redeemed itself with one scene.

Go on... ?

I walked out of Alien Nation (aware that ages me !)

It had Jim from Neighbours in it ! Keep up down the back there....

Mike from Neighbours is in quite a few films too. Kiwi actors get points too for example the guy who plays McCoy in the new Star Trek.

I cant defend Jennifer Aniston apart from being filthy in Horrible Bosses and tbh i quite liked Along Came Polly.. but i will stick up for Nic Cage. He has been in some drivel granted (who hasnt) but Leaving Las Vegas is an all time fave and his is one of the best performances ive seen. he has been in some other belters too, Matchstick Men, Adaptation, Bringing Out The Dead, Kick Ass.. Con Air was good too and i even liked Face Off. so to dismiss 'anything with Nic Cage in' is ridiculous.

or anything based on a computer game.

Did somebody really suggest In Bruges ,one of the best films ever IMO

You've got to rate Gangs of New York surely?

Erm definitely not , it was made even worse by all the hype and the fact that they spent millions building a set to look like New York back in the day .

Anybody suggesting Pulp fiction or Inglorious Basterds is surely not being serious .

Daredevil.
Van Helsing.
Mr and Mrs Smith.
Knight and Day.

Office Space?

Noah is the poorest film I have seen in a long time. Bad from start to finish.

5 pages and no-one's mentioned Tron II?

standards, etc.

They made a Tron II ??

Movie 43 - with the cast and presumably budget that this had it's unbelievable how they managed to make something so unfunny. Was it screen tested on stoned 9 year old's!?

Truly the worst film I've ever wasted time watching.

Another awful Jennifer is Jennifer Lopez, truely awful films.

Boogie Knights - I almost walked out of the cinema, but am too tight. Luckily PT Anderson's next effort, Magnolia, was way better, although when Tom Cruise started his Tame the **** speech, quite a few people got up and left.

Watched the Les Miserables film recently. The standard of singing was appalling from the 2 male leads. A bit like Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge; shouting in tune (without the tune)

Hels, unfortunately they did.

It makes no more sense than the first one, but it's redeemed by the extensive use of light bikes...oh, but wait...no, it isn't.

A vast waste of a film

Inglorious Basterds is surely not being serious

I am perfectly serious. Tarantino has made precisely two really good films (dogs & pulp fiction) and has since proceeded to churn out a lot of overindulgent dross. I am also quite aware that completely against popular opinion, I don't care, I'm not listening, la la la la la.

Jennifer Lope is a pretty good actress. Better than she is a singer and loads better than she is a dancer. That film with George Clooney was good.

Jackie Brown is a better film than both of those. as is Inglorious. ill give you Kill Bill and Death Proof (which i like tbh) but Django was alright.

Ye should give django unchained a go. Outstanding film. Though if you didn't get inglorious that may go over your head too.

TBH I just think he went a bit Costner.

i.e. everything became about 4 times longer than it really should have been.

I maintain dogs was tight, spot on. So was fiction, the whole feel was pitched just so. jackie brown was where it all started to slide.

I'm quite happy to give django a go if people rate it.

Django is a superb film but if you don't rate Inglorious Bastards you're probably better off watching chick flicks.

The Will Smith I Am Legend.

The granddaddy of poor and overhyped films though has got to be Bladerunner.
I've lost count of how many times I've tried to watch it and failed.
Got the Final cut on Bluray they other week and it looks amazing, still boring and still totally undeserving of its reputation.

Just remembered this one. They actually made Titanic 2 which was a ridiculous concept and an even worse film , although to be fair I only saw a tiny portion of it .

Worse than this?
