Bad films

I liked it.

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 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.

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.

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!

Was that the gay cruise film?

Yeh. It was shockingly bad.

It was. Yet surprisingly humorous.

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!

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? 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.

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?!

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!
