Bad films

[andrewsmith]

Right time to start a good laugh off!

Strippers vs Werewolves

[carelesschucca]

Sharknado

[andrewsmith]

I think this is looking as a lot worse.
I'm sure I've just heard k*** and the gang as a backing track

[Wideboy]

Limitless. Just watched it on 4+1. Would have rather dipped my japs eye in thinners.

[andrewsmith]

limitless is good compared to this

[L3nny]

Rubber, so bad I actually enjoyed it

?v=hVKgY1ilx0Y

[TamSV]

Nude Nuns with Big Guns

[DJFridge]

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus was pretty bad, watched only to see what had happened to Debbie Gibson.

[socommk23]

Any of the "lord of the rings" films. Absolutly diabolical. The most drawn out crap ive ever had the misspleasure of watching.

[pookie]

virus - 1999 with a reasonable cast of jamie lee curtis, will baldwin, Donald sutherland
"When the crew of an American tugboat boards an abandoned Russian research vessel, the alien life form aboard regards them as a virus which must be destroyed."

Just awful and slow

How very dare you

[dkid]

Torque. Bike film from a few years ago that attempted to cash in on the popularity of fast & the furious etc.

Awful, just awful. I mean, ice cube? On a Superbike? Do me a favour!

[maviczap]

One from my memory - Zoltan Hound of Dracula

I80GuHPXh7M

[Specialone]

The postman and pretty much most Kevin Costner movies except the untouchables, water world was blow your brains out bad.

At least 50% of Nic Cage films (god awful actor)

All the fast and furious films bar the first one.

Any film with dragons etc in it.

Period films like pride and prejudice etc

[EssexDave]

Skyline.

[dkid]

water world was blow your brains out bad.



Haha I'm with you 100% there SP

[chris8886]

almost any film that "critics" think is amazing turns out to be complete dog turd!

[daveangel]

Lesbian Vampire Killers, starred Little & Large from Gavin & Stacey plus all the girls that usually pose topless in the lad's mags, the critics mostly hated it and even L&L have disowned it now:rolleyes:

[Shawthing]

Re-animator. Two of my friends ended up having to leave the cinema.

[pookie]

the avengers (1998) with uma thruman and sean connery.. Dressed up as teddy bears. I cant believe I paid for it. More so I cant believe I didn't ask for a refund it was dreadful.

[davepreston]

the new one gravity, **** me its bad


any eddie murphy movie


any channing (potato) tatum movie

[socommk23]

Anything.....and I mean ANYTHING with hugh grant in it. Oh my god. If an alien race were to discover his films, that would be reason enough for us all to be killed!!!!!

[DJFridge]

Oh come on. Lair of the White Worm? How can you not like that!?

[Jayneflakes]

Any of the "lord of the rings" films. Absolutly diabolical. The most drawn out crap ive ever had the misspleasure of watching.

Three films about a couple of blokes walking to a volcano to drop a ring in it... I have more exciting dumps. When they started work on the Hobbit I stayed well away. I have no interest what so ever in any of these Dungeons and Dragons nerdgasms. I tried to read the books many moons ago and after about two or three chapters I though that it was a real dirge of a read and got rid of it.

The same can be said for Gormangast, that was a crock of poo and they tried to make a mini series out of it. :(

Torque. Bike film from a few years ago that attempted to cash in on the popularity of fast & the furious etc.

That was a shockingly bad film.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cudK8MwW64I/SViEWcuMGuI/AAAAAAAAK10/RxH307jGEiI/s400/A_Viking_Saga__jpg.jpeg

I found this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0834967/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) in a bargain bucket in a supermarket and thought that for three pounds I could not lose out...

I have never felt so cheated of three pounds in all of my life. That was 90 minutes of acting that makes kindergarten productions of Hamlet look professional! A story so badly told that it made me wish for Hindi dancers and big moustached Indians singing the worst of Bollywood!

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Waterworld, a film so bad that I fell asleep both times I tried to watch it. Lord of the Rings, take some ok books and make them into the most boring thing ever, I got into trouble at the cinema for suggesting that Sean Bean should just on with it and die, the longest most drawn out boring death scene ever.

[L3nny]

Worst film ever, Pearl Harbor.

So many reasons

[pookie]

I think slow the death of achillies in Troy must be close, It is 2m 30s of slowness death action.
For those who really want it to be over here it is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0g8uTZmKM4

And the film wasnt horrible it wasnt great either!

[Specialone]

I thought troy was a decent film tbh

I got booo'd out of the cinema. I held out as long as I could. Thought id made it to the end of the first lotr.....but it kept on going. I stod up...not intentionally but said quite loud "what a crock of s#/¿" and left.

[Bibio]

there are no bad films only people personal perspective.

[maviczap]

there are no bad films only people personal perspective.

Yep

[socommk23]

there are no bad films only people personal perspective.

I disagree......see my last post reference hugh grant.

[Bibio]

I disagree......see my last post reference hugh grant.

that's yours and other similar minded peoples views.

film critics are scum. what makes them so special to tell me what a good film is. ermmm i'll decide what i like thanks.

if i don't like a film i wont put it down no matter what actor is in it as it's my personal view.

if i go to the movies to see a film and i don't like it i can leave as that is my choice but to say it was carp is just plain wrong as someone else might have enjoyed it.

your comment about LOTR just goes to show that you are a special kind of person to upset others around you just because you don't like something.

[Jayneflakes]

There have been some real classics that have not made it to classic status though, for example when Bladerunner was first released, it did not do so well, yet over the years it has become the cherished classic it should always have been. I have the ultimate box set of this movie and it has about six versions of the movie in all of the various edits. Some of them I cannot stand, such the voice over version for example, but others like the final edit will reduce to me to tears at their power.

It really saddened me that the Golden Compass series did not get past the first movie and that it was beset by problems. The books were amazing and I love them so much to this day. Yet the film had so much promise and it was canned. I do not know if we will ever know the true reason why it was plagued in such a manner, but the girl playing Lyra was wonderful and the cast were fantastic. Yet it was one of those movies that has fallen away.

I am not a fan of Bond and yet they seem to keep making those and often with more and more ridiculous stories. The recent ones with Daniel Craig seemed to be a bit more gritty, but some of the others have been shockingly bad with inherent sexism, borderline racism and almost fairy tale stories. But they are a product of their age, so we can't really hold that against them.

A friend of mine raved about a film called "I spit on your grave." A film so nasty it was banned for a long time. Yet it was recently remade and even has a sequel. As far as I am concerned, this is a film that I never want to see because the original was so horrible. Likewise with many other films that are of this shock value genre.

Some of the low budget independent films can have really good ideas, but no budget to make them work or to afford actors who can act past basic Am Dram level, which kills them on the first hurdle. One other thing that saddens me is the dismissal of foreign language films by Hollywood. The French Film Taxi, was sharp witty and funny. But Hollywood had to remake it and the remake was dreadful in comparison because it lacked the sharp script and humour of the original.

I love Japanese cinema, especially the works of Beat Takashi and would consider one of his to be one of my most favourite films of all time. His vitriolic comments on the state of Japanese society can be cutting to the point of brutality, but he always manages to pull it off. One of his was about a couple one of whom was terminally ill and their last journey together. It was so moving and brought tears at the end.

WHat did folks think of the film of Cormack McCarthey's book the Road? I loved the film for all of its bleak despair. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the book and read that cover to cover in a few days. It was such a disappointment and lacked the delicate prose of the movie and the subtly too. Mind you I loved the film No Country for Old Men, but am wary of reading that too. :why:

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Total plus one about the Golden Compass film, such excellent books, and I have to say I do really like the Daniel Craig James Bond films but the old ones are so misogynistic they are truly annoying to watch.

[DJFridge]

Golden Compass basically fell foul of American Christian fundamentalists who got their knickers in a twist about perceived blasphemy and criticism of the church. If you're relying on American money and nobody in the Bible Belt is willing to risk watching it for fear of damnation, there's no chance of a sequel. It's a crying shame because the books are superb and anything that got the stories out to a wider audience would have been a good thing.

Special kind of person? I didnt set out to upset anyone with my opinion. I stood up to remove myself from the cinema and it kinda just come out.

I understand I have a different view on films to others. A good mate of mine has the opposite taste....if he raves about something I know I wont like it. I was suckered into one of his opinions before....that was lotr.
As for my opinion on hugh grant. Sorry...I stand by it. Imo you could put him in any great film......and it would be ruined.

[ClunkintheUK]

Some clips from the great bad movie "The Room"
watch?v=Rriwmsx6N6M

This is definitely one of the so bad, its good genre.

[dizzyblonde]

Duel.

Watched it when I was a kid. Found it badly funny then, but hilariously cheesy now.

5MtAMc4i8OA

Duel (1971) Theatrical Trailer: http://youtu.be/5MtAMc4i8OA

[AJC]

'Open Water'...

Getting stabbed, eating dog, Chinese water torture... all things I would seriously consider before having to sit through that again. I want my two hours back!

Oh and 'Die Another Day'. I am a big Bond fan but that was awful. I expect a good bit of fakery in a Bond film but when you stretch to an invisible car it's just not fun any more...

[dizzyblonde]

And then.......


There's KILLDOZER!!!!!!!!

[DJFridge]

I've just remembered another corker - Razorback. Truly terrible

[Jayneflakes]

And then.......


There's KILLDOZER!!!!!!!!

Now there was a film! A rock from space makes a bull dozer into a maniac murderer... Only in film can a premise so stupid come to life.

Do any of you remember back to the early 80s when the Omen was doing the rounds and a spate cash in films of similar ideas came out out. There was once that was I think called Holocaust 2000. All I remember of it was that it was bilge! :rolleyes:

So truth or dare time now, how many of you sat through AI? Was that not the biggest pile of soiled nappy contents ever? I missed it in the cinema and heard all of this hype and so bought it on DVD. I felt that I was lied to rather badly about the quality of this movie, it was pure bum dribble. :smt087

[DJFridge]

I quite liked AI. Yes, it was a Spielberg film so it was shamelessly emotionally manipulative, but I thought it dealt quite well with abandonment as an issue, and Haley Joel Osment was disturbingly convincing as an emotionless robot.

[Nick762]

The Norseman - a 1978 film about Vikings starring Lee Majors...

Oh, and that last Godzilla remake ('Zilla does Manhattan)... hope to God the the new one is better.

[thulfi]

Only film ive ever walked of was The Spirit with Samuel L Jackson released in '08. Truly horrendous. Most rom coms suck as well. Batman and robin with clooney also filth.

[Matt-EUC]

Devil's chair. Total carp.

[Jayneflakes]

Now this may be controversial, but the third Matrix film. By the time that one came out, the story had really lost any sense it had once had. However to really add to the awfulness, I saw it in the cinema which was OK until during the scene where Trinity is killed, some one else in the cinema starter howling with anguish. I kid you not, full on sobs with the associated gasps and wails. Me being the typical bad taste bear that I am started to laugh at the howling and thus looked like a right cowbag to other patrons of the theatre. :smt096

[L3nny]

Worst film ever, Pearl Harbour, if you need to ask why, you've not seen it.

[andrewsmith]

Worst film ever, Pearl Harbour, if you need to ask why, you've not seen it.

I'll second that

[Matt-EUC]

I liked it.

[DJFridge]

The biggest problem with the 2nd and 3rd Matrix films was the first Matrix film. It was such a game changer, at least from a visual point of view, that anything following was always at risk of being a disappointment.

I let out an involuntary cheer at the cinema while watching Seven when it was revealed it was Gwyneth's head in the box. Even back then, before she started consciously uncoupling herself from husbands, I found her so irritating I thought decapitation was a good ending for her. I got a few glares from other cinema goers.

[thulfi]

Bad films or not, there are some spoiler posts on here which may ruin films for people who haven't seen them. Incidentally I reckon all the matrix films are over hyped, the first one especially. It was so meh, and I didn't find the concept that breath taking nor any of the scenes.

The worst film I have seen all the way to an end (mate had it on dvd) was boat trip with Cuba Gooding Jr. Do not watch this film!

[Matt-EUC]

Was that the gay cruise film?

[thulfi]

Yeh. It was shockingly bad.

[Matt-EUC]

It was. Yet surprisingly humorous.

[Jayneflakes]

I did think about what adult films we could put in the list and then realised that I have actually seen one! I know that my Dad had a few in his collection when he was a squaddie, but as a wee pre-teen he was not going to share those with me like he did the Blues Brothers ( a film I love to this day ). Mind you, I think that sitting watching that sort of thing with my Dad would have made both of us feel very uncomfortable and my Mother would have gone spare! :smt119

Can we include the old classics like Plan 9 from Outer Space? I have never seen it, but have read many reviews that state that it is dreadful.

Who remembers Runaway (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088024/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_41)? As a kid it was exciting to see so many robots being cool and exciting, when the truth was that they were so rubbish back then. My Aunt has a robot vacuum cleaner these days and it is a gadget that frankly is still rubbish! Never mind Magnum PI, you got that one wrong. :smt087

[Thunderace]

Only just found this thread but,

In the name of the king.

Truly truly awful!

Bad casting + shoddy script = In the name of the king.

I mean honestly dungeons & dragons/ lord of the rings stylee movie starring Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Ron Pearlman & Burt Reynolds!


What the hell were they thinking?!

[DJFridge]

Never seen it either but I can highly recommend "Ed Wood" which is the Johnny Depp film about the director of Plan 9 From Outer Space. Very funny and a little sad in places.

I'd forgotten all about that one. I have to admit for having a soft spot for Tom Selleck, even in stuff like Runaway and High Road To China, which he made having missed out on the Indiana Jones films. I grew up wanting to drive a Ferrari in Hawai'i!

[Matt-EUC]

Watch Anuvahood.

You'll understand afterwards.

[jambo]

Reign of fire.

The acting's not awful, neither are the special effects, but the plot has holes in it you could drive a bus through. I like sci-fi, I do, and if you need warp travel or dragons for a story I'm fine with that. There's a dragon on the poster, it's not an issue. But you invented the dragons for your story, so if you could please just decide how they reproduce and eat and stick with it, that'd be great. The entire premise of the story is completely unhinged by various scenes in the film that they included as far as I could tell simply to show that they had not thought through the lifecycle of their enemy even the smallest bit.

Plan 9 from Outer Space is EPIC!!! I absolutely adore it. Its one of the worst made films ever but you can't help but watch it. I haven't seen it in years mind you.

I may have to look it up and give myself a laugh.

[M65]

Napolean Dynamite. Worst 2 hours of my life. Utter tripe. The new Robocop isnt far behind

[tactcom7]

Cannibal Ferox, a truly awful movie, not half as bad as Mr. Deeds, a film so bad it gives me nightmares.

[veenee]

I agree with EssexDave about Skyline (shocking).

My favourite is Avatar - what a stupid, stupid movie.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Dracula, the one with Gary Oldman, not time I will ever get back.

[L3nny]

Watch Anuvahood.

You'll understand afterwards.

But they're bad man sweets, ya get me?

I thought it was funny
