What Movie Is So Bad That It's Painful To Watch?

[acagle7]

My pick is Batman And Robin. What's yours?

[Ravenheart]

I didn't find Batman and Robin that bad.The one I had the hardest time getting through was the old Dr.Strange one.It was just too boring for words.

[Guts/Batman]

Zoolander all the way.

Batman and Robin is mindless fun is actually pretty entertaining, once you leave your sense of quality and common sense somewhere else.

[sgt.candy]

very bad things

[Headhunter]

Captain America, just stone cold terrible. Apparently the original Fantastic Four gives it a run for its money...

[Boomstick King]

The second Mortal Kombat movie the subtitles did not match the spoken laws more than 30% of the time.

[Deathstroke]

Fargo and The Blair Witch Project

[Gaz]

Fargo and The Blair Witch Project
Fargo? WTF?! :confused:

[BlairH]

Fargo? WTF?! :confused:
oh he's perfectly justified :)

My pick would be:
Star Wars Episodes I and II
I actually LIKE these films. Although at points, these films make me want to choke myself.

"They're ANIMALS! I slaughtered them like ANIMALS! and I HATE THEM!"

[GremlinClr]

Yea I'll say it.

2001: A Space Odyssey

Borrrrrrrriiiiinnnnnnggggggg! Cut about an hour of the useless scenes, you know, the whole sitting around doing absolutely nothing for 10 minutes set to classical music stuff.

Get rid of all that crap you might have a good movie.

Thank God for fast forward buttons.

Now that's just crazy talk.

Nothing in 2001 is wasted. In every scene, Kubrick hammers home his message. Even in scenes where "nothing" appears to be happening, there will be some level of significance.

[davids]

Family guy did it best. The dog as part of his public service is in the threather with a blind guy discribing the movie. "There is some trees, and a pile of locks, some sticks, another tree some more rocks. The audeance really starting to look pissed now!"

[GremlinClr]

I'm sorry but I really don't care what he was trying to do. I rent movies to be entertained. Watching someone sitting in a spaceship doing absolutely nothing for 10 minutes while being blasted with classical music != entertainment. I just think that stuff is useless filler.

Don't get me wrong, he was an amazingly talented guy and this is his only movie I didn't care for.

[BlairH]

Don't get me wrong, he was an amazingly talented.

Agreed. He's my fave director of all time. He has such a wide range as a director (Full Metal Jacket is the polar opposite of 2001 and is also ace!)

Interestingly...What did you think of AI? Being as it is an unusual Kubrick/Spielberg hybrid?

[GremlinClr]

Interestingly...What did you think of AI? Being as it is an unusual Kubrick/Spielberg hybrid?

OK, maybe there's 2 of his movies I don't like. It was visually stunning, an interesting premise...and probably the most depressing movie I've ever seen. I mean the ending was just, well, wrong I guess. I'm not sure I can explain how I feel about it. It really effected me. But not in a good way, I doubt I would want to see it again.

[Magneto_X]

Zoolander all the way.

Batman and Robin is mindless fun is actually pretty entertaining, once you leave your sense of quality and common sense somewhere else.

I'm the complete opposite.

[Guts/Batman]

I'm the complete opposite.

When you try to analyze the movie it becomes a horrible movie. But if you put your mind away and try not to analyze it (regardless of the campiness). I do the same exact thing when I watch WWE.

Zoolander - You expect a movie to get better as it goes along. Zoolander...just got worse and worse and worse...

[The Joker]

H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds"

No, not the Spielberg version with Tom Cruise. But the other one that was released straight to DVD eariler this year. Horrible. Completely, and utterly horrible. And the special effects were absolutely hideous. Avoid if possible. You've been warned!

[Deathstroke]

Fargo? WTF?! :confused:

What's so hard to understand?

I think the movie could become a great film only by burning every single copy of it in existence.

[Greg Hatcher]

Hmp. For sheer pain, nothing matches Al Pacino trying to out-Kramer vs. Kramer Dustin Hoffman in the grotesquely bad, yet somehow hypnotic, Author! Author! It's a movie that fails miserably at everything it was trying to do; it's not cute, it's not heartwarming, it's certainly not funny, and it did not showcase Pacino as having any kind of sensitive side. What's more, its badness is not in any way amusing on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 level, unlike, say, Santa Claus vs. the Martians or something. Author! Author! is just bad.

And yet -- this is what makes it so insidious -- when it reruns on TV, it has that weird, hypnotic capability of stopping channel surfers. People tend to stop and watch it. I don't know why. I've done it myself. Something about this movie stuns you into immobility.There's no excuse for sitting through it more than once, and yet I've seen it three or four times on TV. Never once all the way through. Just kind of... came to rest there and stayed, changing channels while bored. It's like a placeholder for your remote.

Somebody sold his soul to the Devil for this movie to have that effect on viewers. I just know it.

[Gordon Smith]

Transporter 2 was an utter failure on every level, as far as I'm concerned.

[Daniel Hopkins]

Ninja Ressurection......it hurts!!

[grendel824]

Alone in the Dark makes Captain America ("I think I'm going to be sick!") look like a work of genius. Papillon was terrible, but nowhere near as bad as AITD.

[Kirayoshi]

I'll be the first to admit that the Coen Brothers can be a cinematic acquired taste. Having said that, I was solidly impressed by Fargo. It wasn't quite as intense as 'Blood Simple', it moved a little slowly, but I enjoyed it for its portrayal of the principal characters, espcially those played by Francis McDormand and William H. Macy(has that man ever turned in a bad performance? I don't think so!). It wasn't predictible because I didn't know what to expect from the beginning.

Now, for sheer pain, I nominate The Avengers, the one with Ralph Fiennes as John Steed, Uma Thurman as Emma Peel and Sean Connery concentrating on how to improve his golf score when he should be attempting to breathe life in to a truly lifeless piece of dreck! Let's see, the villain's main plot is to threaten London with bad weather. What's next? Threatening California with earthquakes? Threatening Washing DC with self-serving backstabbing politicians?

[1961]

Fargo? WTF?! :confused:
Yeah! WTF!!!!
The Fifth Element.
worst. Movie. Ever.

[Grant]

Hmp. For sheer pain, nothing matches Al Pacino trying to out-Kramer vs. Kramer Dustin Hoffman in the grotesquely bad, yet somehow hypnotic, Author! Author!

Yeah that one sucks. I think I've seen it twice.

There's a lot of crappy Al Pacino movies but that has to be dullest. At least in Revolution he had a really bad Scottish accent.

[Grant]

Yeah! WTF!!!!
The Fifth Element.
worst. Movie. Ever.

I've seen worse. This year alone. The Island is coming to mind...

[Deathstroke]

Yeah! WTF!!!!
The Fifth Element.
worst. Movie. Ever.

Nahh, I love that movie.

[Deathstroke]

It's not like I have anything against the Coen Brothers. I actually liked The Hudsucker Proxy.

This movie just sucked for me.

[Deathstroke]

I've seen worse. This year alone. The Island is coming to mind...

Plus, never have Ace bandages been better utilized in a movie.

[Ravenheart]

I tried watching the movie Session 9 twice and fell asleep both times.

[Davideaux]

State Property starring Beanie Siegel is the worst movie ever. It's so bad you have to watch the entire thing to see if stays consistently awful.

[The Joker]

Yeah! WTF!!!!
The Fifth Element.
worst. Movie. Ever.

The Fifth Element is alright, but nothing to brag about.

The advertising for the movie proclaimed it as "the next Star Wars!".

Think they overshot just a bit? :D

[kkraven]

Battlefield Earth (shudder). Hands down the worst. I dare you to watch the entire film in one sitting.

[The Joker]

Battlefield Earth (shudder). Hands down the worst. I dare you to watch the entire film in one sitting.

Yeah, that movie was one big 'ol steaming pile of cow patty.

[Kirayoshi]

I can see why some people hated The Fifth Element. I'm not one of them. It was an odd mix of styles but I found it generally entertaining.

There's one thing that would have truly improved the movie and maybe made its detractors more forgiving; lose the character played by Chris Tucker. Actually this is true of any movie, including the Rush Hour franchise. Seriously the guy sounds like a cross between Prince and Alvin Chipmunk!

[Flawless P]

The movie Party Monster. Also the Transporter 2. Good Fight Scenes everything else was so stupid.

[SnowTrooper]

XXX:State of the Union

[Corsair]

Now, for sheer pain, I nominate The Avengers, the one with Ralph Fiennes as John Steed, Uma Thurman as Emma Peel and Sean Connery concentrating on how to improve his golf score when he should be attempting to breathe life in to a truly lifeless piece of dreck! Let's see, the villain's main plot is to threaten London with bad weather. What's next? Threatening California with earthquakes? Threatening Washing DC with self-serving backstabbing politicians?Yeah, that's a winner right there. It simply should not have been possible to go so far wrong when they made that film.

I mean, I liked Hudson Hawk, and the Highlander sequels. The Popeye film was pretty good and I see some redeeming points in Crow: City of Angels. By golly, I even kinda like Star Trek V.

The Avengers sucked.

[reddkryten]

Mo'Money.

It went from Drama, to thriller, to action movie, and failed at all three.

[TomGun13]

Fargo and The Blair Witch Project

Fargo bad???? WOW that is totally out of left field. One of my all time favs! I would say that the unreleased FF movie has my vote. I turned it off after a half hour.

[Guts/Batman]

Actually, I have sat through Batman and Robin 3 times since I bought it in May. :p

Love Actually was painful to watch as well.

[Boomstick King]

Battlefield Earth (shudder). Hands down the worst. I dare you to watch the entire film in one sitting.

I watched on Sci-Fi straight through. I don't know why, it was horrible. I didn't understand any logic in the movie, but I still watched. At least I can say I won't be doing that again.

[Magneto_X]

The Fifth Element is alright, but nothing to brag about.

The advertising for the movie proclaimed it as "the next Star Wars!".

Think they overshot just a bit? :D

<<<----wants a Fifth Element sequel(s)

[Magneto_X]

Battlefield Earth (shudder). Hands down the worst. I dare you to watch the entire film in one sitting.

I blocked that from my mind. LOL
You're right, of course.

[Magneto_X]

The Avengers sucked.

No way. I *loved* the Avengers movie!

Ralph Fiennes rocked and Uma Thurman was hawt.

[EZMOHR]

Fargo. I mean, it wasn't what everybody says it was. It was like watching a movie put together by two people who wanted just to win critic awards, and not to entertain people. Horrible movie.

[hugh45]

Star Wars E:II
2nd .5 of Bewitched
Went asleep on both.

[hugh45]

Fargo. I mean, it wasn't what everybody says it was. It was like watching a movie put together by two people who wanted just to win critic awards, and not to entertain people. Horrible movie.

Fargo!!?? It was a well acted movie.Oh well,each his own.

[Grant]

The Fifth Element is alright, but nothing to brag about.

Well it's better then the prequels ;)

[Matt]

The Phantom.
One of the extremely few movies I've walked out of.

[Deathstroke]

Love Actually was painful to watch as well.

I thought it could've cut out two or three storylines, but in general it was OKAY.

[Deathstroke]

Fargo. I mean, it wasn't what everybody says it was. It was like watching a movie put together by two people who wanted just to win critic awards, and not to entertain people. Horrible movie.

Yay!

Someone who actually agrees with me!

[Deathstroke]

The Phantom.
One of the extremely few movies I've walked out of.

I know it's not a great movie, but I didn't think it was THAT bad.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Resident Evil Part 1 is almost impossible to watch. I fall asleep everytime I try to watch it. It's sad.

[Mr. Nobody]

Xanadu, its terrible, but for some reason anytime i come across it on tv i have to watch it, at least until the next commerical break, if i'm lucky, possibly until the end if i happen to catch it on a commercial-free movie channel with nothing to break me away. Its like staring into hell.

Pearl Harbor. Man that movie was bad.

Also, nearly every movie i ever liked when i was a kid.

[Ugoff]

Constantine was an ok movie but it wasnt a movie that was so bad that it was painful to watch. I felt the plot of the movie was good but badly executed. I will say that I didnt care for the movie and was very disappointed and angry after watching it. But I know many enjoyed it and that's cool. It did have it's strong points but for me I felt it was a major waste of my time.

[Rom]

Almost anything with Ben Affleck.

The Blair Witch Project, the only movie I saw where at the end I stood up and screaming at the top of my lungs, "What a steaming pile of monkey crap that was"!! while people were getting their coats on and reading the credits.

Battlefield Earth

And some Tarantino movies, IMHO he is a total hack.

[blackdragon6]

resident evil apacolypse

[Dark Galaxy]

The Day After Tomorrow

Good thing those wolves broke out of the zoo so they could chase the lead character while he was trying to get life saving medicine for his girlfriend!!!!

Seriously, that script must have been written by chimps. (no offense to chimps)

[Guts/Batman]

I thought it could've cut out two or three storylines, but in general it was OKAY.

I could be a bit biased.

I do tend to hate romantic comedies but this one took the cake.

Too much going on...

Oh, and when the british guy gets into Wisconsin during winter and manages to hook with two bi-girls within 5 minutes of meeting eachother.

There's something called luck...but that goes beyond luck.

[kkraven]

Couldn't agree more. Nonsensical, waste of time.

[Guts/Batman]

Of course it is nonsensical.

This is why I leave my "sensical" brain somewhere else when I watch movies.

Movie critics are paid to analyze movies so their jobs are to have their "sensical" brains with them when they watch. I am not a movie critic so I don't have to have my "sensical" brain when I watch movies so I don't.

[Kirayoshi]

Love Actually was painful to watch as well.
One man's mead, I guess...

The only pain I experienced from Love Actually was from laughing so hard my sides were aching.

Really. I know that's a cliche, but that's what happened to me.

With the possible exception of the burnt-out rocker sub-plot, I thoroughly enjoyed Love Actually. I found it to be sweet, funny, touching, sad, unabashedly romantic and all-around entertaining.

I move that we agree to disagree on this point.

I've been wanting to get a Magneto avatar myself but I'm not sure how to do it. :(

[Magneto_X]

resident evil apacolypse

Heh. The best part of that was Sienna Guillory.

[Magneto_X]

The Day After Tomorrow

Good thing those wolves broke out of the zoo so they could chase the lead character while he was trying to get life saving medicine for his girlfriend!!!!

Seriously, that script must have been written by chimps. (no offense to chimps)

IIRC the movie was an adaption of a novel by Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers).

[Paradox]

Is Magneto_X sure?:

IIRC the movie was an adaption of a novel by Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers).

Which one would that be? I haven't seen the movie, but I looked it up on IMDB and it mentioned nothing about it (although they do mention a "non-fiction novel"...whatever the hell THAT is...by Art Bell and Whitley Streiber as the inspiration). And the synopsis doesn't sound like any Heinlein novel I've read (and I've read a LOT of them). Surely you don't mean it was based on "Starship Troopers", because it's not even remotely close.

No, it's not based on the Starship Troopers novel, it's based on the novel of the same title.

I mentioned SST since it is the most mainstream novel of Heinlein's.

My mistake. Heinlein wrote a novel that has the same title, but it's got a different plot. It's second title is "The Fifth Column".

[Paradox]

Hmmm...thanks. I never even heard of that novel, so at least you gave me something new to read from one of my favorite authors, Mags. ;)

[The Joker]

Well it's better then the prequels ;)

Which isnt saying all that much. :)

[ocelotrevs]

Resident Evil 2 (the movie)

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Erik, where did you get that avatar?

I've been wanting to get a Magneto avatar myself but I'm not sure how to do it. :(

Mags, I think it's in the Avatar section. Unless it's been changed around since last I've been there.

[Deathstroke]

The Day After Tomorrow

Good thing those wolves broke out of the zoo so they could chase the lead character while he was trying to get life saving medicine for his girlfriend!!!!

Seriously, that script must have been written by chimps. (no offense to chimps)

The Day After Tomorrow is just another film where you root for whichever force of nature is involved to win and wipe out all the stupid people in the movie.

IE: Anaconda, Twister, etc.

[Deathstroke]

Wasn't it four girls by the end?

Oh, and yeah it does go beyond luck, it's called FANTASY FULLFILLMENT!

[Michael P]

Invasion of the Neptune Men.

[SlightlyMad]

White Men Can't Jump

Actually, anything in which Rosie Perez has a speaking role!

[WebSlinger]

My Little Eye

Jaws: The Revenge

Highlander 3 (Highlander 2 was bad, but Sean Connery was it's saving grace)

Highlander Endgame

Streetfighter (Wrong wrong wrong, watch the anime movies instead for true adaptation)

Batman and Robin

Super Marios Bros

Steel (worst superhero movie ever? Captain America was a laugh at least, CA comic sucks)

Spice World

Mortal Kombat 2

[OverMaster]

Nothing beats A Sinful Life to my eyes.

Runner ups:

Star Wars Episode I.

"Legend of the Superheroes" made for TV movie.

Some stupid comedy with a girly-man embarking on a pirate ship with a semi-obscene name... I saw it a loooong time ago and don't remember the title, but I know it had some sirenes with obviously fake tails, a script that redefines the term "lame", and pitiful FX.

[OverMaster]

Oh yeah, I forgot these:

The "Buddy Superstar" movies with the dog that plays basketball/ volleyball/soccer/whatever.

All the "Land Before Time" animated sequels. And how many of those are around, 13 already?

"King Arthur".

[Guts/Batman]

Wasn't it four girls by the end?

Oh, and yeah it does go beyond luck, it's called FANTASY FULLFILLMENT!

It's been awhile. And I have no desire to watch it ever again. For any reason.

But you are probably right.

If only fulfilling fantasies was that easy...

[Slappy san]

Punisher (w/ Tom Jane)

OMG...terrible....

[The Joker]

Surprised no one has made an honorable mention of Van Helsing yet.

[Prelude]

Mother's Day (1980). I've seen a lot of "horror" movies from several different eras, and this movie ranks as one of the worst I've ever seen.

I seen the movie when I was younger, so maybe if I watched it now I could appreciate it for whatever humor the movie might have. Maybe, maybe not.

[Dr.Fate]

Surprised no one has made an honorable mention of Van Helsing yet.I like Van Helsing quite a lot, it just has that brainless action movie charm, it's only the ending that makes me want to claw my eyes out and then kill myself.

I just have to ask myself how could anybody make an ending that cheesy unless they wanted everyone who saw it to have a bitter taste in there mouth at the end. Another thing is what the hell kills her in the end anyway, she doesn't seem to be injured at all it's like they ran out of money for make-up and just said "play dead" to her.

Right now that mini-rant is over I have to put my vote with Batman and Robin, that fell apart right about the time Batman pulls out his Batman Mastercard.

I nearly walked out the first time I saw that, come to think of it can you imagine Batman walking into a bank and asking for a credit card, where did he say he lived "The Batcave"? Or did he say his good friend Bruce Wayne would take care of it for him hoping that nobody would figure out who he really was.

Stupid, Stupid film I hope I never have to suffer through again.

[Shellhead]

The Fifth Element is alright, but nothing to brag about.

The advertising for the movie proclaimed it as "the next Star Wars!".

Think they overshot just a bit? :D

Nope, I thought it was better than the last four Star Wars movies.

[Dreadstar]

I just saw one of these kind of movies yesterday:

Cannonball Run II.

There were parts in that movie where there were respected actors and personalities doing the most painfully embarrassing things. It was like, Omigod, he didn't do that, not HIM/HER!

Holy shit, that had to be some paycheck for some of those folk to be involved. Considering the number of them that are now dead, it was almost sacriligious watching them debase themselves.

[Shellhead]

I really found it hard to watch A Fish Called Wanda. There is a certain style of comedy, the farce, which bases "humor" on the idea that awkward situations are funny. Wanda takes this idea and runs with it, so that extremely situations are supposed to be extremely funny. Only, I just found those awkward situations awkward, and also very annoying. Annoyance piled on annoyance, until I found myself fuming by the end..."Why did we rent this!?!"

[DDM]

Repossessed is supposed to be a satire about The Exorcist; Linda Blair, again possessed, could not save this movie because the jokes fell flat.

[Shellhead]

It would be funny if Greg merged this thread with the "5 Favorite Adam Sandler Movies" thread.

[The Joker]

I like Van Helsing quite a lot, it just has that brainless action movie charm, it's only the ending that makes me want to claw my eyes out and then kill myself.

Only the ending huh? Well the pain started about 15 minutes into it for me.

Nope, I thought it was better than the last four Star Wars movies.

The last four Star Wars movies. I'm assuming you are also including "Return of the Jedi" as well? And if thats the case, damn. You really do must love this movie. But personally, I think the statement about being "The next Star Wars!" turned quite a few people off from seeing this movie. Which in turn, caused the film to not be quite the success they were hoping for. Obviously not the next Star Wars.

The first appearance of the Ewoks was the turning point for me. Everything Star Wars after that seemed hopelessly corny or annoying.

[Guts/Batman]

The first appearance of the Ewoks was the turning point for me. Everything Star Wars after that seemed hopelessly corny or annoying.

I do have to agree with that.

That worst part: It spawned off an Ewoks movie!

[Royal]

I do have to agree with that.

That worst part: It spawned off an Ewoks movie!

Two of them.

[Guts/Batman]

Two of them.

Two of them?!?

*mind explodes*

[Royal]

The Last Samurai

sparked my annoyance of "magic whitey" movies.

[DDM]

Two of them.

Didn't the Ewoks have a cartoon series as well?

[The Joker]

Didn't the Ewoks have a cartoon series as well?

Yup.

And so did C-3PO and R2-D2. It was called, "DROIDS" I believe ....

[Chou Blaster]

Didn't the Ewoks have a cartoon series as well?

Uh huh. It sure did.

Which was more goofiness. (Shoot, the Drodis got their own cartoon series, guess the Ewosk was coutner balance.)

[Chou Blaster]

Yup.

And so did C-3PO and R2-D2. It was called, "DROIDS" I believe ....


No

The Ewoks literally had a show called "The Ewoks."

"Eeee.Eee.. Eeewoks!" :Smashe shis hea dinto wall, to stop the pain.:

[Chou Blaster]

My nomiee:

Batle Field Earth.

And msot o fthe orignal Sci Fi Channel movies. (I mean if the Soup disses you, for the Food Network having better special effects. Something is wrong with you.)

[The Joker]

No

The Ewoks literally had a show called "The Ewoks."

"Eeee.Eee.. Eeewoks!" :Smashe shis hea dinto wall, to stop the pain.:

You mean as in "live action"?

I knew about the Ewoks cartoon, and movies. :confused:

[Rabid Trekkie]

Starship Troopers. Its only saving grace was that the armor ended up being used in Firefly and it spawned a really good cartoon. Everything about the show itself though sucked something fierce.

[GremlinClr]

Man, first people dissing The 5th Element now Starship Troopers? Has the world gone mad!?

[Guts/Batman]

Man, first people dissing The 5th Element now Starship Troopers? Has the world gone mad!?

Well, compared to the book, the move blew pretty badly.

[Rabid Trekkie]

Man, first people dissing The 5th Element now Starship Troopers? Has the world gone mad!?

I liked The 5th Element, not enough to buy the Ultimate Edition but enough to get the normal version.

Starship Troopers on the other hand was incredibly stupid and the script should have been burned before anyone could see it.

[Kirayoshi]

Well, compared to the book, the move blew pretty badly.You know that it's a bad sign when the movie is about aliens set on exterminating humanity and the principal actors and actresses are so bad that you wind up rooting for the aliens. Starship Troopers was a criminal waste of Clancy Brown.

[Slappy san]

Surprised no one has made an honorable mention of Van Helsing yet.

Yeah that's pretty high up there. Pretty hard to make a big budget movie look like a Sci-Fi original.

[E-Nigma420]

The Big Hit(god this movie sucked, my sister says it best..."can someone please hold my hair back for me???" lol)
The Jackal(was there no funds for a half-way decent wig for Willis in this movie???)
Black Dog(this one might take the cake as worst movie of all time)

[choptop]

The second Mortal Kombat movie the subtitles did not match the spoken laws more than 30% of the time.
subtitles.........? Mortal Kombat2 has no subtitles in the movie

[Dark Galaxy]

Starship Troopers on the other hand was incredibly stupid and the script should have been burned before anyone could see it.
But the movie was done completely tounge-in-cheek, making fun of itself. That is why it is so hilarious. "The Bugs, they got me Johnny" C'mon...nobody could have written that was serious dialogue.

the Life Aquatic: with Steve Zissou!

I sweat it's that Noah Baumbach had a part in the writing! This guy irritates the bejeezus out of me, and the things I didn't like about "Aquatic" are the things that reminded me of Mr. Jealousy, which is even MORE unbearable!

[DarkStar]

earnest goes to camp. well any of the earnest movies. Lost in translation, sideways, and my all time least favorite..... over the top

[Rabid Trekkie]

One movie that still wakes me in the middle of the night in a cold sweat from the sheer horror of its existance, Robot Master.

[Lex]

The Rules of Attraction

Man, I hated that movie.

Bad story. Horrible characters. Go nowhere plots... seriously, nothing was resolved at all. The subplots were left wide open, the main plot was just abandoned and the main character's final thought is cut-off midsentence.

I actually yelled at my TV with that ending. What the crap was that?

The only reason I watched the entire thing was to see what happened to the characters. I hated the story and the characters, but I still wanted to see what happened to them.

Unfortunately, nothing happened... at all.

Man, I hated that movie.

My pick for worst movie is Lost In Translation

Both were extremely awful.

GIGLI!!!!

And it's sequal: Gigli II: The Revenge of the Turkey!

I wonder what type of turkey must Frank eat if Clayton ever showed that film (2nd Turkey Day Marathon)?

[monkeywarplane]

Van Helsing was bad, but it's not in the league of "What Movie Is So Bad That It's Painful To Watch?" For that I have to mention "Anchorman" --horrendous! The good thing about me is that I have an internal checks and balances that eventually eliminates bad movies from my memory. True story.

"Hollywood Homicide" is one of only two movies I've ever walked out on.
If someone had said to me that morning that I'd walk out of a Harrison Ford movie, theater hop to see the last third of 2 Fast 2 Furious, and consider 2 Fast to be the far more enjoyable experience, I'd have called them a liar.

Good lord "Hollywood Homicide" was atrocious. How in God's name did it get made.

While Battlefield Earth was awful, it was at least awful in a funny, MST3K kind of way.

Showgirls was migrane-inducingly horrendous - waaay beyond the 'so bad it is funny' point.

Elektra was so dull I couldn't even work up the energy to make fun of it. I just felt comatose watching the stupid images on the screen.

I could think of quite a few Christopher Lambert movies. But Druids, Beowulf, The Sicilian, and Why Me are probably the most notable. At least Highlander 2 can be enjoyably bad, those movies will just suck your soul out.

The Grudge. By the time it was over, I angry at the pointlessly non-linear presentation and story that never really went anywhere, or explained anything, or achieved any real scares. Watching the DVD features where it's explained how this was all deliberate, just made me angrier.

Wasn't it four girls by the end?

Oh, and yeah it does go beyond luck, it's called FANTASY FULLFILLMENT!

Actually, it was five girls. And counting Denise Richards (the girl he brings to England at the movie's close to meet his friend), it was six girls.

:)

I thought that was hilarious. He goes to America to meet beautiful women, and by sheer luck, he stumbles into a bar with the largest concentration of *staggeringly beautiful* women in the entire Northern Hemisphere. That was hilarious. My favourite subplot was the story of the kid, though, and his love for the singing-girl. That was cool.

Yeah, I loved that film as well :).

[Peter]

I think there's a difference between movies that are just bad, and movies that are painful.

For example -- "Blair Witch". Boring and a total waste of time, but not painful. "Underworld", also. Absolutely horrible, but hilarious.

Let me think...

*snaps fingers*

I got it! "Matrix Reloaded." Great fight scenes, but during the long drawn out speeches -- and there were two of them, the frenchman and Colonel Sanders/the Architect. Two of them! What, one wasn't enough? -- made me want to run screaming for the cinema, or at least break down the fourth wall and kick the characters in the head.

I actually sort of liked the 2 Matrix Sequals..maybe not Reloaded because alot of stuff was going on and it was so mind boggling but they were ok. Nothing to yell home about.

But Titanic.....that was beyond bad. And it winning 11 Oscars was officially when the Academy jumped the shark.

[bodie_3_7_ci5]

Glitter - Please make the painful memories stop

Bad Boys II - is probably one of the most obnoxious crap-fests i've ever seen.

Pearl Harbour - Michael Bay owes me 3 hours of my life.

Godzilla - Absolutely ridiculous film

Independence Day - Boring!

Dracula 3000 - without a doubt the worst film I have ever seen. Coolio has Dracula delivering some atrocious lines and the sets look like they cost about $50.

Alien V Predator - This could have been good in the hands of a good writer and director but it failed miserably.

Titanic - The academy were on something when they awarded this film an oscar for best picture etc.

Batman and Robin
Mr. Freeze: I will blanket the city in endless winter. First Gotham, and then the world.
Poison Ivy: Just what I had in mind. Everything dead on earth, except us. A chance for Mother Nature to start again. Behold, the dawn of a new age. My mutant plants have the strength of the deadliest animals. Once you have frozen mankind, these babies will overrun the globe, and we shall rule them, for we will be the only two people left in the world.

Just curious: Why was this movie so painful?

[CaptMagellan]

Battlefield Earth sucked.
Starship Troopers sucked.

but the most painful film I've ever had to watch... well... there's two that are tied
"Kiss of the Spider Woman" (I hated that film with a passion)
and
"Can't Stop the Music" (it was the Village People movie... The Village. People.)

For the record, I loved The 5th Element (it was like an old Heavy Metal magazine story from the late 70s early 80s on film).

I agree. I thought it was a terrific film and I am glad it won all the awards. And dont give me that shit every teen girl went to see it because if that was the case, why isn't the rest of Leo's movies making all that much money? lol :p

[eJm]

I'll never to the end of my days discover the reason behind the "Titanic" hate.

It deserved zip.

[Peter]

Because it is a overbudgeted, overacted, stupid movie.

It was Romeo and Juliet on a big doomed ship. If you went into the film wanting anything else, well...

I loved it. It was beautiful, dramatic. The first movie that really made me cry, because the story was just so damned beautiful.

So :p .

[Paradox]

Peter loves the love story:

It was Romeo and Juliet on a big doomed ship. If you went into the film wanting anything else, well...

I think that's part of the problem. I think if they'd have called it "Love on the Titanic" there would be fewer complaints.

A lot of guys don't want to get suckered into a "chick flick" when they're expecting a disaster movie.

[eJm]

What I was expecting was something good. Obviously, I didn't get that.

H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds"

No, not the Spielberg version with Tom Cruise. But the other one that was released straight to DVD eariler this year. Horrible. Completely, and utterly horrible. And the special effects were absolutely hideous. Avoid if possible. You've been warned!
I don't understand, this movie was made in 1953 and had Amazing special effects for its time. Are you trying to compare it to modern day films?

Oh wait, i think you are refering to this one..

It was the most recent one, with Tom and Spielburg, that blew chunks.

I'm the complete opposite.

I agree. Zoolander was great. Clooney as The Bat sucked but having that prick O'Donnell as the boy wonder was like crapping on a wedding cake.
Also, Terminator 3 sucked like a stinky shit and Star Wars episodes one and two were also crap. I'm totally gonna get lynched for saying that aren't I.

No, Eps 1 and 2 did suck. One was crap, but I could watch it if I turned off my brain. Two was a waste of my life. Ani + Padme scenes = the putrification of my soul. And then there's the whole, "Dooku, the bad guy that we think is behind the conspriacies, left this clone army behind. Hmm... let's use it ourselves! What could possibly go wrong?"

But I still have something worse. Charlotte's Web 2. While the original is a classic of children's literature brought to life on film, the sequal is a brain numbing nightmare of idiocy. Watching a prancing porker spout the virtues of being a pig to a retarded sheep, while an effeminate fox sings about what an intellectual he is will evaporate your brain and taint your children.

[Guts/Batman]

I agree. Zoolander was great.

Zoolander was great?

Maybe I'm not a "so dumb it's funny" comedy person. Well, a if it is totally vulgar, I'll like the "so dumb it's funny" comedies, Baseketball and Super Troopers are my two favorite comedies after all.

I'm so glad I watched Napoleon Dynmamite with my brothers otherwise I would shut that off about half way through.

Zoolander fell into the "so dumb is isn't funny" category for me.

[grendel824]

And then there's the whole, "Dooku, the bad guy that we think is behind the conspriacies, left this clone army behind. Hmm... let's use it ourselves! What could possibly go wrong?"


That never happened. The clone army was ordered by Sifo Dyas, who was killed by Dooku. Movies tend to be a little better if you actually pay attention, I'd wager. Though I don't think Ep. II would be ALL THAT MUCH better, but still...

A triple vote on that, even though the suspension of disbelief in the premise was so hard to get past. (sorry, there just isn't enough water on (or even in) the Earth to put Denver under water) You get past that, the rest is actually kind of fun.

And what kind of attributes would your persoanl bias find offensive or ill-conceived when engaging in the critique of a film? Just curious is all.

I don't find anything offensive. I just don't. I let those things fall to the side. It would keep me from me being who I am.

But I hate romantic comedies. But Love Actually was one of the most painful movies in that category. I find most romantic comedies painful to watch. I find them neither romantic nor comedies.

I'm not too picky when it comes to action films or "epics". That why I said what I said about Batman & Robin. I just shut down the analytical part of my brain down when I watch the movie.

I am a bit picky when it comes to comedies, however. I'm more the "so stupid it is funny" comedy. But it has to have a least a lil vulgarity to it.

I don't watch many horror movies. Sometimes I watch them but I don't really find them painful because like with B&R, I shut off my analytical brain off when I watch them.

Just curious: Why was this movie so painful?

i have siad this on other posts on the subject, but generally i loved batman himself ( when he was on screen). but the plot was like one of the old 60's plots, the villians lame, and the love story was near on pathetic.

but i also realise i am one of the only ones who dont like this movie so maybe it is me,, of course i am a huge Britney Spears fan ( for her music). so maybe you best all ignore me

Actually that reminds me of the time I was at a movie theatre when TRAFFIC was getting out. I overheard a guy say (about TRAFFIC), "Yo, that was foul." Then while pointing at a poster for EXIT WOUNDS, "Now that's what I wanna see!" And yes, he was white.

Matrix 2.

The last remnants of humanity are about to die, the machines are coming.......what will they do? ...they throw a big houseparty which results in some kind of orgy...an orgy where you don't see anything, they screw each other with their clothes on, so it's an American rated orgy or something, but that's a sidenote........they throw a stupid houseparty and it goes on and on and on, I watched in horror and lost complete interest in the movie, couldn't take it even remotely serious anymore or let myself be entertained by it.......it's one of the most stupid movies I've ever seen.

[Xiroteus]

Edit......

[Artemis1]

Star Wars Episode II was total crap.

[Deathstroke]

The only two I can recall are Lost in Translation and Rip It Off, took longer then normal to view those, not painful, just boring.

Other than the scene with Scarlet Johansson in her underwear that movie was a colossal bore, but I didn't think it was pain inducing.

Flowers in the Attic. It's so bad Victoria Tennant's husband Steve Martin bought the rights and I don't know if it can be shown on TV, rented, or sold anymore.

Ah, this brings to mind "Robot Ninja", it's really horrible but you guy's have to atleast rent it. It looked cool on the cover but once you put it in your vcr mama me'ah :p . Trust me you've never seen anything like this, the ninja(comic book geek) gets freakin beat down and violatied by female gang members :rolleyes:

As far as recent movies, I nominate Hustle & Flow, hot garbage, the main character's attitude got on my nerve's and I got tired of all the ignorant people, the script should have been thrown in a capsale and fired into the sun.

Now I know its got its fans, but the only reason I can think for this movie to exisit is to make people who enjoy low-budget indie gems miserable at the thought that any time and money and (otherwise) good acting talent was wasted on it.

It does make me want to check out "Overnight" though.

The buddy of mine who suggested we see Dude Where's My Car was banned from choosing movies for a year by the rest of us after we left the theater (as a sidenote, he wants us to go see European Gigolo, next). Bernie's is the only movie I have ever walked out on. One joke only works so many times before it becomes painful. Unless you're talking about spoof, like in Groo.

But I'm glad someone is getting enjoyment out of these movies. That's why they were made, after all.

From Taskmaster's list of worst movies:

-Spider-Man 2 - i know most of you will disagree with me, but this is one horrible horrible film that made me want to blow up the theatre, first film i've actually ever walked out on

-Unbreakable - most BORING film i've ever seen, i kept waiting for something to happen (as did the rest of the people I watched it with) and NOTHING EVER DID

Why'd ya walk out on Spider-Man 2? What made it so horrible?

Just curious.

I personally found Spider-Man harder to watch than SM2.

The only movie that ever caused actual pain, for me, was Manos: The Hands of Fate. I mean it really caused actual pain. Its just that bad that if you paid attention to it at all for any given length of time, your brain would attempt to collapse in on itself. Fortunately, I watched the MST3K version, which provided some shielding, and there were people around to talk to, but without those safeguards I would probably be a vegetable today.

I'm with you there. That just cemented my disgust for Peter Parker.

Pearl Harbour-I can't really describe how much i hated every single second of the film, it was like watching the worst road accident you've ever seen replay every single second.

I didn't like parts of Spiderman 2 but it wasn't that bad and when they weren't focusing on Parker's angsting it was great. Unbreakable though was a great movie. Sam Jackson was great in that movie.
