Mine are 50 Shades of Grey, Me before You, Twilight.
There are a lot more that I consider a waste but those are the ones at the top of my list!
Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ". (2004)
I avoided it until years later. It was quite awful.
I totally avoided that one and intend to keep doing so, even though I love Mel Gibson.
Can’t say I love Mel, but the cellulose will crumble before I watch that movie … loved the Mad Max stuff, though ~
I never saw Passion of the Christ, but when someone said "he must be god to go through all that torture", I mentioned that the Romans tortured all their prisoners that way, and Christians should worship all of the prisoners who the Romans tortured and crucified.
For me there's a difference between "worst movie," and movies that really just pissed me off because... a million reasons, plot holes, bad acting, bad story, or just too formula.
For instance, Gigli was one of the worst movies, but Armageddon really pissed me off. It was ridiculous, unbelievable, and just obnoxious. The first three Star Wars Movies (Episodes I II III) really pissed me off. We waited twenty years from Return of the Jedi and the most we could get for the next movie was Jar Jar Binks? The CG was so much better than the sequels, but the story wasn't even thought through.
Hmmm that’s a good one. Twilight: breaking dawn, Cabin Fever, which I absolutely hated and The Roommate.
Worst big budget, major studio release I have ever seen.... BY FAR.... is........
Battlefield Earth
@webbew1 I read the book which was pretty good (a bit verbose) and was really looking forward to the movie. It sucked beyond all reason..probably the last bad movie I have watched to the very end.
Impossible to say because I had seen movies I thought were great and 10 years later repeating them became a major disappointment. Same has to be with bad movies maybe we didn't understood them at the moment. Age and experience has a lot to do. Plenty of movies I wonder how could they sold the idea to produce the garbage and yet... here they are with major actors and everything. I reckon a bad movie I file for further review 10-20 years later to complete the task of watching them in totality. I am trying to come up with a title and drawing a blank... that is how bad it must had been that is not even on my Memory Bank.
"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" A classic C film.
@tsjames I must admit that I couldn't make it through the entire film. I have my head down in shame. Actually, I could only endure about 15 min. I'm crawling away now.
Definitely Caligula-walked out of theatre-gory
I'm going to regret saying this but 2 of my favorite movie anthologies are among your dislikes.
IT.
Newer or older version? Or both?
New version.
Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Worst fucking movie ever created.
The show was a masterpiece. The movie is a pile of dog shit.
I think I would have to go along with 50 Shades of (badly written soft porn) Grey. Honestly, do these books and films spin women's dials, as they say? I can't imagine why. I know I'm getting old but I've read instruction manuals that are more exciting. Oh yes and Twilight, or, as I call them, Twi-lame movies.
I am a big Batman fan, so the movie "Batman and Robin" always ranks up there with the worst things I've ever seen.
Gummo, Die You Zombie Bastards, and almost anything Lars Von Trier and Uwe Boll create. Gummo was a vapid attempt at an art house film, DYZB is almost self explanatory by the title quality, and though liking Lars' films is supposed to be some high watermark of film watching, I find it all to be shallow and using shock value as it's only value. Uwe Boll is just garbage at making movies lol
Lars Von Trier is definitely an acquired taste, but I certainly wouldn't mention him in the same breath as Ewe Boll. Who the hell keeps giving that useless hack money to make movies?
After Battlefield Earth, I quit watching crap films all the way to the end. So BE qualifies, I'm sure there may be worse, but I thankfully haven't wasted much time on them.
It's called "A Night to Dismember".
Seriously, look up the Wikipedia page on it and any scenes on Youtube. In fact, you can watch it on Youtube.
It is, BY FAR, the worst movie I had ever seen, and I kind of love it for that.
Keep in mind, I've seen Rob Zombie's 31, Dungeons and Dragons, Mortal Kombat, and half of The Spirit.
Rubber was pretty bad. I usually like off the wall random movies like that. But I did not get that one at all!
Anything with Steve Martin, Seth Rogan or that Ferrell guy. I love comedy but those guys are not at all funny.
I'm going to avoid B-grade movies, sequels, children's movies, and cookie-cutter films in my answer just because that would make it too difficult to narrow down. So, from the bigger movies I've seen that are either popular or were expected to do well:
I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't bring myself to care about the characters, the plot, the threat… and I thought the training sequence was shoddy and didn't do enough to show us what Strange was learning or how he was progressing — and especially (spoiler alert) how he managed to master the danger of a time loop, which was supposed to be catastrophic if it happened, yet he wields time loops handily as though they're just another in his bag of tricks. I couldn't stand it. With that said, it was visually quite attractive.
