The worst films you have ever seen

Exactly, unfortantnly.

I think theres still a chance though: Manga and anime normally aren't that more over the top than american comics, but Manga often does get into more serious topics.

We just need the Manga version of the first Spiderman movie that came out in 2000: one that will make hollyood see the value in a making a good anime/manga movie.

Yeah, I'm hoping for the same thing. I'd love a good live action movie based on one of my favorite manga or anime. A live action Death Note, maybe, to have some mass-market appeal, or even a (very, very R-rated) live-action Berserk, which could be absolutely amazing if they adapted it right.

Though I think part of the problem is the licensing tango they'd need to go through to actually get the rights to film an anime/manga. Obviously that's not the only problem, but it's part of it.

Ishtar. Not only was it bad, but my dad used to love the damned thing and watched it over and over again when I was a kid. I was not surprised to find out that reviewers had pretty unanimously hated it.

The Wicker Man (1973). It was probably the crappiest horror film I have ever seen. I hesitate to even call it a horror film. It shares more in common with your everyday musical than a horror film (no, I am not exaggerating. It really does). The main character was an idiot, the films antagonists were not threatening in the slightest, and the entire thing was just as stupid as all get out.

OH GOD NOT THE BEEES AAAAAARGHEGOHJTGWERGHEGHRRGH!!!

Never seen the movie, but I already think it's going to be hilarious.

Back on topic - I'm very careful about the movies I pay money to see; unfortunately once in a blue moon with purple dots I have a lapse in this practice and I am reconditioned to resume being careful again; so by and far was most likely You Don't Mess With The Zohar.

I never knew you can draw out such a horrible movie for so long. It's like it didn't know whether it wanted to be a superhero movie or bruno or one of those 'Meet The Spartan' spoof movies (which are a waste of time already).

I walked out of the cinema that night feeling so sad...

 

[Wareshinobu]

Queen of the Damned, Twilight, Catwoman - and for being nothing like the hype that surrounded it I would have to add Paranormal Activity as well XP

edit: Oh yes, forgot about Signs, think I managed about 5mins of that XD

 

[SIXVI06-M]

The American live-action Dragonball movie (Dragonball: Evolution, I think it was called?). It was like getting teeth pulled in a movie theater. It wasn't even "funny bad." It was just awful.

I actually forgot about this one... it was simply so bad, my mind had an aneurysm and attempted to strike it from my memory.

Shit... which means you've just reminded me how b-*seizes*

Death note has had like 3+ films in live action made of it, though they were made in japan, there were some theaters showing one a year or two ago here in the states with subtitles.

Ah, yes, I probably should have specified that I meant "non-Japanese live action movie:" there's quite a few live-action movies of manga and anime in Japan. Though I didn't know some of the DN live actions were brought over to the States. Huh. The more you know, I guess.

The American live-action Dragonball movie (Dragonball: Evolution, I think it was called?). It was like getting teeth pulled in a movie theater. It wasn't even "funny bad." It was just awful.

XD Thank you for making me laugh.

...I wish I could forget it. T.T

Superbad the name says it all i could not stand it all i was gonna walk out the theater but not i could not do that

EDIT and i hate the waterboy god i hate it make us look badddd thank you adam sandler for making all cajuns look like stupid ass holes

 

[Tim Mazzola]

The Room, ThanksKilling, Turkish Star Wars... the usual stuff

 

[Goofguy]

If you critiqued The Room like Roger Ebert would, it is definitely one of the worst movies ever. If you sit back and enjoy its crappiness, it makes for some good laughs (especially if you've gotten some drinks in to you).

Other movies I consider to be terrible are:

Ultraviolet
Into the Sun
Catwoman

 

[The SettingSun]

Meet the Spartans. Unfunny pop-culture and movie references that seemed to be trying really really hard to make fun of ANYTHING BUT the movie it was actually supposed to be parodying. Even less funny jokes that resorted to cheap and nasty toilet humor and offensive references to real life people, which only work if the jokes are relevant, well-timed and coming from good actors playing likable characters, which brings me on to point 3... there was absolutely nothing to like about anything in it.

Avatar wasn't completely horrible but it did piss me off for 3 reasons:

1) 3D DOES NOT WORK! No, don't even try. I don't care how good the quality of the 3D is. 3D will always be an annoying gimmick that only detracts from the content of the actual story and completely ruins all sense of immersion, which is exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do.

2) The story was not only unoriginal, but also came across as REALLY hypocritical when you combine the whole environmentalist message with how the film was made using tons of money that could have mostly been given to charity if James Cameron had just dropped the fucking 3D, and how the films main sponsor was McDonald's.

3) Who. The. Fuck. Thought. The. Name. Unobtainium. Was. A. Good. Idea!

Ratatouille (not sure if I got the spelling) wasn't bad at all, but it does stick in my mind because I expected a lot better from the Pixar I know and love.

Oh, and the 3 Twilight movies have been almost without fail the3 most consistently wretched franchise I have ever been introduced to. I won't list the reason because you will have heard it all before, I could go on for hours and the mods would probably ban me for my consitent use of foul language and caps.

I remember seeing "Meet the Spartans" *shudder*

Another movie which suffered from the problems Meet the Spartans had was Epic Movie. People don't realise that parody movies actually need likeable characters and at least semi-coherent storylines to be funny.

Let's do a Top 5 here!

1) Battlefield Earth: John Travolta is a terrible actor most of the time, and in this film he is joined by a non-sensical plot, ridiculous effects,insultingly bad aliens, and writing so bad that the writers need to be hung by the necks until dead! If you ever see this movie intentionally, then a homeless child will die terribly somewhere in the world. You heartless bastard.

2) Deep Blue Sea: All the problems of the film above, but it didn't have John Travolta. That makes it marginally better. It did have apparently sentient sharks though, which was a terrible story decision, if the film hadn't abandoned the pretense of a story in the first fifteen minutes in favour of pulling off an unimaginative Jaws ripoff. Which, incidently, leads me to...

3) Jaws: The Revenge (Jaws 4): It had possibly the worst mechanical shark I've ever seen in a film. It made me cry the first time I saw it, because I couldn't believe that a) A movie as great as Jaws could spawn such evil and b) because Michael Caine allowed himself to participate in such a travesty.

4) Any of the three Twilight films: I shouldn't have to explain why.

5) Paranormal Activity: Don't even argue with me on this one. Possibly the worst paced movie I've ever seen, with the possible exception of Jaws: The Revenge. Coupled with bad acting, and fact that it isn't in the least scary, made this an absolute waste of $6. And because of an annoying girlfriend, I had the misfortune of seeing it twice.

 

[l3o2828]

WELL.
Twilight movies as a whole, Dragon ball Evolution, The lovely bones and any movie with talking animals besides cats & dogs (but only the first one), and lets not go into the movies that have a chimpance as a main character, or a dog playing soccer...

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

For me, 'twas Amadeus.
Because they might've as well included wolves on jetpacks; the historical accuracy was crap.

 

[commodore96]

The Wrestler

 

[Antidrall]

Avatar, The last Airbender, Trnsformers 2, Napoleon dynamite, Twilight, many others.

 

[The Dutchess]

Date Movie. The only film I have ever walked out of, didn't even want to go see it but was with friends and it's just the most embarassing piece of crap I've ever had the misfortune of seeing.
Also The Mummy 3 (don't even remember the name of the damn movie) It's worse than what they did to Indiana 4.
If I could I would demand my money back from whoever made those piles of dung. I cannot fathom how people make these kind of films and think they've done a good job. Give me their damn paycheck and I will make you a movie that won't suck half as badly.
Oh also Airbender - I haven't even watched the cartoons but I hope whoever did the casting was strung up as an example to others.

 

[Alon Shechter]

like someone from Monty Python sitting in the middle of the stage wearing a dress. I don't mean with some underlying context, I mean just sitting there, no script, no movement, no outside activity.

Yeah, but being Monty Python, we would laugh anyway because they are just funny regardless of what they do.

The worst for me would be American Psycho.
It was just BAD.
Which is sad, because the Wikipedia plot descriptions made it look fantastic.

 

[silent-treatment]

Push. I have never seen such a schizophrenic movie in my entire life. The characterization was all over the board for every character, and it moved weird ( not in the indie kind of weird either).

 

[mysecondlife]

I know who killed me.
