I rented Mortal Kombat Annihilation 2 days ago from hollywood video. And let me tell you the movie sucked. There was so many unanswered questions like what happen to Kaball and Striker, where did Sub-zero go?
What happen nightwolf or whatever his name is after he taught Kang? The only decent part about the movie is the fight scences.
I would like a list or just some movies that you feel are the worst movies ever made. Don't forget to say why they are bad.
That's like saying you ordered a steak and it sucked because it couldn't hold a conversation with you, didn't hang your coat, and wouldn't help out with the bill. The only good part about the steak was when you ate it.Quote:

Men in Black 2. I like just about every movie I see and I was pissed I spent money to see this in theatres. I hated everything about it. The story was stupid, you barely saw that chick who was the antagonist, johnny knoxvilles character was totally useless, tommy lee jones should have been left out (they just had to bring him back!). Will Smith was...Will Smith, a lot of the effects looked terrible and for a comedy, it wasn't funny at all. I can't understand how the crowd I saw it with thought it was funny. Every part worth seeing, was in the commercials. Oh and the ending fucking sucked. Stupid as shit. And the "aliens rule the world" ending (as seen in the first one where our universe is a marble that's being played with by an alien) they used in this one makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
Damn that shit sucked.
Another one is In The Company of Men. It was such a depressing movie I could never watch it again. I will give it high marks for acting though. But thinking about it now, I have no idea who was in it. I don't think I've ever seen those people in another movie since.
Being a fan of horror, I've watched more than my share of "bad" films, but usually most movies have some sort of value - even if it's only to be mocked by me and my friends. :)
That said, I've seen a few that have been literally offensive:
Company Man - Truly, appallingly bad, with no redeeming qualities except the ending credits. It's so bad, you can't even laugh at it. I even hated Sigourney Weaver, who's a personal favorite actress. I honestly believe this is THE worst film ever made in human history. I saw it in the theater with some friends, and the only reason we stayed till the end was we could not believe that the movie was so fucking awful. I recommend it as an Xmas gift to your very worst enemy.
Resident Evil - Paul Anderson should be tortured to death slowly for this debacle. Nothing about it was good...well, except the preview posters.
Exorcist II: The Heretic - Well, to be honest, there is ONE good thing about it - the French dude who says "Zee bodyyy was neverre found." Other than that, pure 100% garbage. The filmmakers must have hypnotized or blackmailed William Blatty.
Coneheads - At least I think that's the title; starred Jerry Lewis I think.....or was it Dan Aykroyd......actually my memory has mercifully erased most of it, except I do remember is the only time I actually asked for my money back.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch - Silver Shamrock? What in the hell was this heap of mung????
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - George Lucas really hates you, and this is proof.
There have been a lot of horrible films I' ve been tortured with over the course of my young life.
One that comes to mind is 'Ghosts of Mars'.
Heh, I actually liked Resident Evil enough to buy the DVD.
As for the worst movie I've ever seen......I don't specifically know what it is, but I'm sure it's one of the several late night softcore Cinemax movies I sat through as a kid in the pre-internet days in the hopes of seeing a boob.
The first installment had better storyline, script and was "organized" well. The sequel had the exact opposite of those characteristics. Bottum line, the movie was bad. I was also expecting the same characteristics from the first installment in the sequel.Quote:

Now I like cheesy 80's B sci fi flicks but this one is just horrible. I had to force myself to sit through all of it, I fell asleep twice and it was only a couple of hours after I woke up for the day. Lithgow was even horrible in it and I love him in almost everything.
I'd even put Buckaroo Banzai behind (as in even worse) all those I've ever seen.Quote:

Jack Frost - Michael Keaton stars as a rocking blues dad with a great piece of ass wife and a kid who wants to learn hockey. On Christmas Eve dad promises to teach him the new hockey move of the century but he has to go to a show in Bumfuck Mountain, Colorado. He dies along the way. But he reappears as a snowman, teaches his son the hockey move, and helps his son outrace a bunch of Olympic gold medal skiiers down a dangerous mountain.
Yea.
Jaws: The Revenge - The shark remembers who killed it in past movies, and goes after the families! This movie is hilarious in so many ways - like when Michael Caine's boat gets dragged under the water, but comes out perfectly dry.
The Thomas Crown Affair - Rene Russo is a fucking bitch and Pierce Brosnan is a pompous ass. They both suck in this movie and well... there is nothing good about this movie. It's really shitty.
The Goonies - like I said in the favorite movies thread... if you are listing the movie as one of your favorites because you liked it when you were a kid... watch it again. I watched it again maybe 3 years ago. The movie is seriously 2 hours of a bunch of brats yelling at each other. It gave me a headache. I couldn't stand it.
Thats one of my favorite movies. The guy who plays the total prick is Aaron Eckhart, who is in a couple other of Neil LaBute's films.Quote:

I did feel like walking out of Godzilla (the Matthew Broderick one) but somehow stuck it out to the end. That movie sucked a lot.
The first Darkman was hokey enough to be entertaining ("I want the fucking pink elephant!!!"). I saw the second one and that was really, really poor. I chose not to watch anything past II.
Absolutely not. I am convinced that if you are over 13 years old and you like that movie, you are retarded.Quote:

Neverending story 3- i reread the book about every 2 months, i watch 1+2 nearly once a month, this schlock was mother fucking heresy. BAnished all of the spirit of wonder and childhood whimsy that the first 2 had and turned it into a pathetic "formula" adventure, obviously made by someone who never read the book or understood what the ns was about.
The first five minutes where they steal the painting was cool. Then it all went to shit, you're right.Quote:

MK Annhilation was pretty bad, but it also inspired some chuckles (Find Your Animality!). In fact, I think a lot of crappy movies are good for camp value. The Postman is a good example. Here is a film that was critically reviled, yet, taken not so seriously, is a great comedy.
The talk about Stephen King films reminded me of Needful Things. The book was mixed, and they cut more stuff out of the movie, which ended up sucking complete ass and making no sense. At least it had Ed Harris in it.
I have to say Charlie's Angels was a film I hated more than anything. Here is a film that did nothing but try to be cool and rip off popular stuff from other films. It raped the spirit of martial arts and made the three actresses totally unattractive in my eyes. It wasted an hour and a half of my life and I want it back.
I disagree with this choice, sure it's not my favorite movie. But still it's "classic" film filled with adventure and good characters.Quote:

Good call. I was PSYCHED about this movie. It looked badass from the previews and it was getting the usual big-summer hype. I even bought the soundtrack (which was decent at the time). But oh man, this movie was awful. I do think this is the worst movie I ever saw in the theatre (it would be Species but you got to see a lot of titty in that so it was passable).Quote:

Some of the movies that spring to mind immediately are all of the Crow sequels and that John Travolta movie GREASE makes me want to hurl every time I catch a glimpse of it.

It's about Palpatine's rise to power, and Anakin's rise from slavery. Jar Jar is real cool; a little over the top, but I don't know one kid who doesn't love him. Kick-ass action, good explainations, and plenty of cool twists. Next time, when you bash a movie, back it up with a plausible description. Sorry for being a little agitated(sp?), but I can't stand when people do that.
EDIT: To stay on topic: Master of Disguise, because it sucked.....
Seriously: It took no advantage of Carvey's talents, except as a good impersonator. The writing felt like a 7-year old penned it, and the acting was putrid. Truly embarassing.
I really wanted to like it, Peter Weller, Lithgow & a crazy ass plot. All good things but it just bored the hell out of me.Quote:

I also like the Phantom Menace. But I don't Jar Jar binks, he's just annoying. The only good part of that movie is Darth Maul vs Qui-gon and Obi-wan. The major con in the movie is that they killed Darth Maul, that ruined the movie for me.

I would have to say the worst was this really bad b-horror film I saw. Everything about this movie - and I mean everything - was bad about it. I don't remember the name though.
Uh, there was also The Garbage Pail Kids movie from the 1980's. The name "garbage" in the title denoted more than simply just part of the title name, but the quality of the film as well.
Battleship Earth. Yeah, I know it's popular to bag this film but it was really that bad. Also, another more recent sci-fi film would be Mission To Mars. "Hey Luke, there's this force keeping us from entering the alien structure." OMG, who directed this!? Was Mission To Mars a joke or a bad dream. Heh.
Supernova...
Ermac killed them, but then Shao Kahn killed him because Ermac didn't make them beg for their lives before killing them.Quote:

Such a memorable ending that's stuck with me all these years.
I really should pick up the DVD of it one of these days :)
For me, the two worst flick I've ever seen:
The Tie That Binds: I remember watching this movie in the theatres because someone I knew, or commerical I saw, or movie review I read compared it to The Hand That Rocks the Cradle which was one of my favorite thrillers at the time (the then-ultra-hot Rebecca DeMornay being a big reason why). Man, this thing turned out to be a colossal piece of dung, with extremely one-dimensional characters on both sides.
In the film, if I remember corretly, Daryl Hannah and Keith Carradine's characters were criminals who had their child taken away by a cop, and even though I was 15 at the time I was actually rooting for them to get their friggin' daughter back. The end of the film was truly overblown nonesense featuring the little girl stabbing her biological father and telling him "You taught me that!" and the rest of the shmucks in the audience cheering out loud while I rolled my eyes. :rolleyes:
Eight years later I STILL want that two hours of my life back.
I thankfully never had the displeasure of seeing NS3 as 2 did enough to sufficiently disgust me. The scene where Bastian was climbing the tower and kept wishing for "another step...and another....and another....and another" losing a marble (lol) of his memory each time he did so" I remember seeing it when I was 10 or so and even back then thinking "JUST WISH FOR 'ENOUGH STEPS TO REACH THE TOP OF THE TOWER', YOU DUMB SHIT!!!"Quote:

Thanks to this thread for reminding me of Mission to Mars, the worst god-damn movie in the history of film. MST3k's targets are masterpieces of cinema compared to heap of melodramatic shit (yes, even Manos and Hobgoblins). I'd watch Phantom Menace a hundred times to avoid seeing Mission to Mars once. To this day I don't know why I didn't walk out of the theatre and demand a plane ticket so I could go and strangle the director.
I will never complain about another movie as long as I live... or at least until I forget about MtM again.
Creepozoids
Worst shit ever, and how can we forget....Nukie
I didn't think further explanation was necessary. I think The Phantom Menace was one of the most poorly executed, uninspired, and badly written films that I've ever seen, all hype aside. Objectively, I think the film's a mess, and yes, I also think the OT is also severely flawed, but not nearly to the point of PM (see Scourge's quote).Quote:

Well said, I can't watch Phantom Menace either. I hate too many of the characters, the dialog is stupid, not enough action, too many stupid moments, I think it's incredibly boring. I was never a huge fan of SW, and PM really did nothing for me.Quote:

Just to let people know how I am, I like some low budget corny stuff...
I liked classics such as ghost of mars or just about anything Carpenter has done, I also loved movies like Water World, Battlefield Earth and other such movies people love to bash.
But the below movies made me want to bash my dvd player.
Master of Disguise: I wanted to puke during this whole thing, complete trash.
Never Ending Story 3: WTF!!!!
Road Warrior: Call it what you want, it was pure crap...
Anything Star Wars in the last few years: Lucas.. you suck hard...
28 Days Later: This was just ass...

Here's my list of bad movies so far:
Supernova
Mission to Mars
Mortal Kombat Annilation
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin
Deep Blue Sea
Godzilla (the one with Matthew)
Godzilla 2000
Hollow Man
Ballistic: Ecks vs Saber
The cable guy
I'll say why later.
Lost Highway.
God this is a painful, poorly shot mess of a movie. It HURTS to watch the thing and the 10 minute slow pans across the room just cap it off.
Master Of Disguise.
I watched this movie on Hacked Pay Per View and I still want my money back. Dana Carvey what the heck were you thinking? Did you not read the script? Did someone trick you into signing a contract to act in this terd?
House of 1000 Corpses.
Ok, so Rob Zombie must be a big fan of the "Natual Born Killers" school of film making, but the movie had no point, I could care less if the film broke in the middle of this piece of shit.
[And these were movies I had hope for, they had actors I liked or Directors or a story that could have paid off, but they didn't.
Taking a cue from shinji here - care to elaborate? I found it to be by far the best horror film in recent cinema, mostly due to its incredibly well-implemented metaphorical content (which the best horror films all contain). Then again, I thought the original Blair Witch Project was a work of genius *shrug*. Subjective, I know, but I'd be interested in why you thought this.Quote:

I liked all the Star Wars prequels so far too. Lucas just needs to ditch the Jar-Jar character, that's all. Coruscant in Episode II has to be one of the most incredible cityscapes I've ever seen anywhere!
Bio, just for you - Blair Witch Project :)
Just plain horrible. I cant understand how people could find this borefest frightening. The story of three morons lost in the woods, with dialog consisting of variations of Fuck, pseudo documentary shaky cam, and alot of background noise. The only worthy shot in whole film is the one before the screen goes black.
Blair Witch Project 2 - Pretty much as bad as the original.
Phantom Menace - OH My. Did it suck or what. Pretty much all was said about why its so bad, and I will never forgive Lucas for more than retared handling of Darth Maul death. Nice sfx, and Maul was cool but otherwise, horrible.
Im not saying youre wrong, but the original trilogy had some of the stupidest dialogue ever seen in films. It's just horrible, some of the shit that's in those. Nothing in the original trilogy, I think, is worse than the "I dont like the sand..." line from AotC, but then again nothing in TPM does either.Quote:

It had its problems but they can be summed up in three words: Jar-Jar. Midichlorians. If you took that fuckface Jar-Jar out of the battle scene against the droids at the end that scene would've been amazing too. Lucas' biggest sin was the midichlorians so Ill say thats a real big negative. And Jake Lloyd sucked too but he's a kid, so whatever.
So yah the movie wasn't perfect but it was fun, as fun as I thought at least Return of the Jedi was (which had some real problems of its own, like those goddamn Ewoks). I liked Phantom Menace more than Attack of the Clones...
No way. That movie kicks ass. :sweat:Quote:

Instead we have Jar Jar bullshit. The part that really lost me was when anakin got in that space ship during the battle and did everything by accident. "Cool! Awesome"! Nope.Quote:

However, once in a while, a movie so mind numbingly bad will come along and no matter how hard I try I will be unable to completely wipe my memory of it. The two main offenders are(I even made a post about them here)....
Zombie Doom - Crazy muderous cult, zombies and ninjas with ridiculous amounts of gore? Sounds like a recipe for a good time, huh? This peice of shit has about 3 zombies total and they are on screen for one scene in the entire movie. Zombie Doom my ass.
The movie was shot on video and looks horribly amatuerish. The dubbing is so bad it goes beyond funny and into annoying territory. All of the film's estimated $3.50 budget went into the horribly chessy gore effects. Highlights include a ninja being stabbed through the head with a machete, at which point his head is kicked off. The head, with machete, then goes flying and lands, blade first, into the back of another ninja. Said ninja dies in one of the cheeziest sequences ever filmed. The movie then tops this scene with something even more absurd. A ninja does what can only be described as a superman flight straight at one of the main characters who holds his machete up. Flying ninja then gets sliced in half. How does this shit get released on DVD?
Zombie '90 - Can it get any worse? At least there are zombies in this pile. What we have here is more shot on video crap with over the top gore, horrible dubbing and one of the worst scripts I have ever seen. The dubbing here has got to be a joke. An unfunny joke, but a joke nonetheless. The gore is so over done and it even contains a baby dismemberment. In one seen the lead steps on a spider and a gallon of blood pours out. Nearly half of the movie is a dream sequence whose only purpose is more gore. This pos comes on the Zombie Doom DVD. I got two of the worst movies ever made for the price of one! Yippe!!
The book was good though :)Quote:

Manos: Hands of Fate
Seriously, while everyone elses choices are fine and dandy, this is hands down the worst movie ever created. Not even MST3K can save it. It is just about as technically horrible as a movie can be.
but Darth Maul wears face paint.
How hardcore can he be?
The Jar Jar shit at the end of the movie just horrible. The stupid crap with Anakin and the Naboo fighter was a just BAD. When I watching the shit was just thinking, he's Darth Vadar, he's Darth Vader and that helped me through those scenes. Just to help you out here's a bio of Darth Maul.Quote:
Originally Posted by Rumpy

So complete was his devotion that he even endured the agony of having intricate Sith tattoos applied to his entire body.
In the interests of concealing the Sith presence from the Jedi, all of Maul's missions were executed from the shadows. Though Maul longed to reveal the Sith menace to the Jedi, his devotion to his master was absolute so as not to question Sidious' timing. Maul had assassinated a number of enemies whose activities encroached on the growing Sith agenda. The dark warrior even infiltrated the heart of the galaxy's biggest criminal organization, Black Sun, killed, and escaped unscathed.
Maul had a wide array of tools to help him in his missions. His Sith Infiltrator is a modified star courier vessel equipped with a cloaking device. His Sith speeder is lean and unarmed, pared down to the bare essentials to deliver maximum speed. In the past, he has even employed a modified protocol droid as an assassin, C-3PX.
I wont even reply to the Star Wars explanation, too many people have described why they suck and better then id care to anyway..
As for 28 days later, I guess its a matter of taste... as you can see by my list I like some stuff that people absolutely hate.
I was dissapointed simply because IT WAS NOT scary at all, regardless of what the previews said.
I liked the whole theme but we needed more us against them fighting and the grainy look sucked imo.
And to be honest I thought the 2 main characters acting was so dry they would spark a fire...
But as I said, its all about oppinion... I like Battelfield Earth afterall and can imagine the pain it caused others... but I liked it so oh well...
Speaking of Battlefield Earth, it was infact god awful.
Add Bulletproof Monk to the list as well.
Thanks for the response. I got caught up in the "OMG SCARIEST FILM SINCE THE EXORCIST!!!!" ads too, but even though I didn't think the film was all that scary, I wasn't disappointed. I thought it was intense, but not scary.Quote:

But now, with films like They, The Ring, and 28 Days Later, looks like things are getting back on track. I don't like the current remake trend though - I'd rather see some new ideas.
More fighting.....well, maybe. I didn't think the film's focus was intended to be on combat, nor was it supposed to be an action film. I think it was trying to illustrate the differences and conflicts between uncontrolled & controlled emotion, along with the "herd" mentality and modern everyday paranoia.
I think it worked very well for what it was, but I certainly understand your criticisms.
Arrrrrgh - not this again! ;) It's terrifying simply because you never find out exactly what is happening, and it leaves it to your mind to fill in the blanks. As Lovecraft said, "The oldest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest fear is fear of the unknown." After seeing this film for the first time, my imagination gave me nightmares for weeks, although I admit that repeated viewings don't have nearly the same effect. I probably couldn't stay awake if I tried watching it again, but the first time I saw it petrified me like nothing else I've seen except my initial viewings of Alien, Poltergeist, and Jacob's Ladder.Quote:

Mind you I have it on dvd and will give it another watch...
A problem I have is my mood at the time I watch a movie can determine wether or not ill like it....
The first time I watched Cable Guy I was in a shitty mood and HATED it with a capital H.
After watching it again I loved it and is now one of my all time fave comedies...
I mention this because the day I watched 28 days later i had a bad day at work...
Hell my whole life has been bad for the last 2 months but that is neither here nor there. :)
That's cool that you're give it another shot.Quote:

That sucks. Sorry to hear that. May things improve, and quickly.Quote:
Hell my whole life has been bad for the last 2 months but that is neither here nor there. :)
I never understood all the Mars Attacks hate...it's Tim Burton for crying out loud...Sleepy Hollow was worse IMO.
I cant understand all the hate for Sleepy Hollow either. Edward Scissorhands was much worse than either SH or Mars Attacks.
Hollow rocked while I thought Scissorhands was a flaming turd...Quote:

Matrix Revolutions and Reloaded. I'm not saying them to troll, I just dislike them and they are recent. Tomb Raider 1 and 2 are terrible as well.
Edward Scissorhands is a good movie, it descends into cliche near the end but for most of it its a really good interesting movie. Sleepy Hollow is shocky and ugly and brutally stupid. Its not the worst movie ever made by any means but I wouldnt give it more than two stars.
Sleepy hollow is an okay movie, perhaps if they showed Christina Ricci topless running in the woods, it would have been a better movie.
I wouldn't put it as the worst ever, but Tomb Raider 2 was the worst movie that I've seen recently. It really had nothing to redeem it, the first movie did everything better. Part 1 wasn't so hot either, but it was watchable due to a few good action scenes.
Hmm, I would say wise versa. Original Tomb Raider was an awful film. Huge dissapointment for me, but I enjoyed TR2 more.
Speed 2 is a great example of bad movie :)
Depsair, dare I say we are agreeing on a movie or two in this very thread?
Be afraid.. be very afraid.. :eek:
I also thought the Tom Raider was aweful move, but the sequel I liked. it had some great moments that were well put together.
Speed 2 ws great move, it was the best movie in the world...wait.....it's that with one ship going into the tanker... oh man that movie was, is and will always be a piece of shit.
Why did that tanker blew up??? The plane was hanging on the top of the ship mast, but it exploded anyway :lol: :lol: :lol:
I think it was the leaches, oh wait it was some electrical thing that happen.
I think it's safe to say both Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider 2 were bad movies. They had good concepts but in TR2 everything just sort of appeared or was explained with Lara "knowing a guy".
Gummo.

I'm pretty sure that was just his skin and tattoo's, which I think those aliens have put on them as children. Galaxies explained it. I thought he looked bad ass. They could've toned down the red abit, though.Quote:

it wasnt even worth watching for the hot ladies in it :(
Children of the Living Dead. It's so low-budget and crappy, it's unbelievable...I think the person who wrote this movie did it on purpose.
If you guys can find this movie, it's worth buying just to see how crappy movies can get.
No way, Jason Goes To Hell was WAY worse.Quote:

Congo's a great book. The movie, however, makes me want to throw up.Quote:

Judge Dred.
It came on a couple hours ago and I never realized how awful this movie actually is. And speaking of Stallone movies, gotta add 'Stop or My Mom will Shoot' to the shit list.
I love screaming match between Stallone and Assante in Judge Dredd:
I am THE LAAAAW. The LAAAAAAAAAAW????
:lol: :lol: :lol:
And at least Stop or My Mom will shoot had Stallone wearing diaper :p
I was hoping judge dredd would have been hardcore like the comics, what a dissapointment that was.

Nah, Judge Dread dosent deserve a spot on the all time worst movies, thats being really harsh. As for the comic <> movie thing, the first scene was done perfectly, but then it went pretty downhill after that.
Judge Dredd is a bad movie, but the gun and robot are very nice.
Some more horrid movies:
Legend
Nick of Time
Dirty Dancing
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (such poor voice acting, stupid characters, uninteresting story, no matter how good the CG is the movie sucks)
Kazaam
Shadow of the Vampire
Jack Frost (both)
Invisible Dad
Home Alone 3 & 4
Aristocats
Re-Animator
The Crying Game
Top Gun
