Worst movie you ever saw?

October 11, 2008 5:26pm CST
I generally come out of a movie at least finding something good to take away from it. But just occasionally there's a movie that just does nothing. On one occasion I saw a movie that actually made me feel angry for having wasted the last 2 hours of my life. So here's a thread for venting about terrible movies. What's the worst thing you've ever seen? That movie for me was Across the Universe. It was based around the songs of the beatles, and while I'm not their biggest fan, I do quite enjoy a lot of their songs and the trailer for the movie looked really pretty so I was quite excited to be going to see it. However it was just shockingly bad, pretentious with a horribly clichéd view of the 60's - and the beatles references were so done so literally and just shoved down your throat that I found it painful to watch.

well, i don't remember any movie which i consider as being the worst ever... i usually go to watch the movies of my choice... but i think i have seen a horror movie which was out of my choice to watch... in fact, on that day i was going with my parents, siblings, and my uncle's family to have a long day in one of the big malls here..so, after lunch, my brothers and cousins decided to have a movie.. so, i had to follow them coz i don't dare to sit with my parents, uncle and his wife talking about their own stuff of business and whatever...so, i followed the others..and the movie was reallyyyyyyyyyy scary...i just found myself screaming every few minutes LOL... that movie is called " The Strangers " Smiley,

Yeah, I saw The Strangers quite recently and thought it was really creepy. Quite enjoyable if you're in the mood though. It also used music by Joanna Newsom who's one of my favourite singers :)

Oh geez, one of the worse movies I've ever watched would have to Boogieman. Supposed to be a horror/thriller and it totally wasn't. The story line was barely there and it was just an all around bad movie. Not scary or anything. The second was House of Wax. That was just one of those films with barely any plot and just a bunch of blood and gore. I was another of the most horrible movies I've ever seen.

Ooh, we nearly rented House of Wax a couple of weeks ago - I'm quite glad we didn't!

For me it would be "The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)" as the ending was terribly horrendous...

Friday the 13th. I could not get the point why those slasher movies got their way to the cinemas.

i liked Across the Universe lol!! hmm..and after reading the other posts i liked most of those movies also hahah! the single most awful and huge waste of time AND money (even though i only rented it) was Napoleon Dynamite!! oh man..ppl had told me it was funny and they laughed all the time and that i just must see it! so i gave into the peer pressure and rented it. ugh! i did sit thru the whole thing, because with everyone loving it so much i figured it HAD to get better!! i had to be getting close to the funny parts! nope. the single most dull, lacking in anything humorous, waste of time that i have every seen in my life!

As much as I loved the art work in The Grinch, I fell asleep during it and my young cousin woke me up and asked if we could go home half way through.

i guess the worst movie i have ever seen was a movie called 'havana'. it came out qute a while ago and at the time, i was working at a magazine and we always got free tickets to movies and stuff and that time, it was my turn to get in free but it was a very long movie with a very poor plot.

Texas Chainsaw massacre two! I rented the movie....watched ten minutes of it and returned it to the video store with a scolding! They replaced it with something that I could actually watch! My kids had wanted to see it and we were doing a weekend of horror movies....

The worst movie I ever saw was Hot to Trot with Bobcat Goldthwait. I just kept waiting for it to get good and there wasn't even a couple funnies. I saw this movies like 20 years ago when it came out and still remember the horrible lines and scenes. I would rate this movie a minus 5 stars.

Oh my, Brace yourself! The worst movies I have ever seen has been "Can't Stop The Music" By the Village People* pukes* and also that Movie the band "Kiss" made in the 1970's ( so bad I can't remember the name) There is also this terrible movie I saw not too long ago called "Goth" that was a 2003 straight to dvd release. This movie is the dumbest film I have ever seen! I didn't know whether to stop the movie or laugh at all the bad acting this terrible cheesy movie provides. The best of the bad "B" movies it is!

The worst movie this year for me has got to be Heartbreak Kid. It's all Toilet Humor for me and I really hate such movies. I was dragged into the theater by my friend. I also didn't enjoy a Chinese movie which I watched earlier this year. It's called Lust Caution. It's too slow for my liking. It's also my first RA film and I must say.. I really do not enjoy RA films.

I didn't like American Beauty at all. When i watched it, the message was pretty clear. But I don't appreciate that kind of movie. I don't understand why it even won so many awards. It's a good thing that I didn't have to pay for a movie ticket because it would have been a waste of money!

as far as i can remember, Cloverfield is the latest worst movie i've ever seen. aside from that it is "big, bad and stark raving mad" (as a newspaper writer described it), it is quite tiring to watch because of the shots made from the camera which was actually held by one of the actors. Just like the old "Blairwitch Project" movie. I had a headache after i watched it and i bet alot of people felt the same dizziness. probably, some did not finish watch the movie at all.
