Baaaaaaaaaaad Movies

[BohsPartisan]

OK , seeing as how the reccomended films thread has branched off in this direction, think it deserves a place of its own.

Smokin Aces - Awful, despite a very hot Alicia Keyes. Towards the end I was nearly praying for it to end, despite my Atheism!

Blair Witch Project - Worst film ever. Or at least most over-rated. Wanted to torture the person who reccomended it.

Apollo 13 - Snoozefest, literally.

Phantom Menace - An insult to every Star Wars fan. Dissapointing, lazy, vacuous - much like Gareth Farrelly's tenure as Bohs "player"-"Manager"

[Ash]

Havent been to the cinema in ages but the most recent
ones I regretted going to see were:

- The Persuit Of Happyness (Will Smith)
- Fun with Dick & Jane (Jim Carey)
- The Weather Man (Nicholas Cage)

Older than that
- National Treasure (Nicholas Cage)

[Sheridan]

The worst and most mind-numbing film I ever sat through (I can't even remember why, it was on TV one night) was an airplane-based drama called Turbulence, starring Ray Liotta (and that awful eejit Brendan Gleeson.) The first ten minutes were quite good, oddly enough. I was dragged to see The Da Vinci Code and that was almost as bad, albeit partially redeemed by a good opening sequence and a couple of half-decent performances.

[Lionel Ritchie]

The most recent I've seen I thought was pretty poor was...

1. Borat ...thin on laughs ...I'm not a fan of the genre (of comedians who get their gags out of people who aren't in on it) anyway but that aside -smashing up a middle aged couples antique shop simply isn't funny ...even if they were paid/compensated in full for damages off camera. I'd roll my eyes if it was on jackass frankly.

Oh and the thing with Pamela Anderson was tiresome and the eventual meeting was entirely staged.

2. Indecent Proposal was on telly the other night and was cringe inducing. The sub-home and away dialogue was matched only by the sub-neighbours morality play and was cudgelled home by Demi Moores attempt to immitate Laura Ingles from Little House On the Prairie on the voice-over.
I switched as soon as it became evident we weren't going to at least see her get a proper seeing to.

3. Bad Boys (and I can safely assume Bad Boys II and any others in the genus ) -too stupid a film to even comment on.

4. Every single movie Nicholas Cage has ever appeared in.

[noby]

4. Every single movie Nicholas Cage has ever appeared in.

Except for Raising Arizona of course.

[John83]

Valentine is awful.

Catwoman is dreck.

Conan the Destroyer is embarrassing.

So many others... memory rebelling...

[Dodge]

As mentioned in the other thread I fell asleep in the cinema watching the 5th/2nd Star Wars film and the second Pirates of the Carribean film.

Worst film I've seen in the cinema was Urban Legends 2

Only DVD I rented that I couldn't finish was Mike Bassett; England Manager

Have seen dozens of other terrible films and I'm sure I'll cpntribute tothis thread as they pop into my head.

[the 12 th man]

Revolver - Guy Ritchies wanna be blockbuster featuring a badly miscast Ray Liotta.

The Courier-Awful Irish film about the life of a motor bike courier set in Dublin.
One of the worst films ever made imo.

[Sheridan]

Haha, The Courier. I remember when that was hailed as the saviour of the Irish film industry. We didn't know any better at the time. Never actually seen it, I seem to remember Don Baker being involved.

[Risteard]

I'm an easily pleased cinema-goer.
The only awful films I've seen are a pervy remake of Peter Pan and Vin Diesels XxX.

[the 12 th man]

Haha, The Courier. Never actually seen it, I seem to remember Don Baker being involved.


You're the lucky one,believe me.Acting was dire.Elvis Costelloes ex-wife Cait played the "romantic" interest.

[Ceirtlis]

Natural Born Killers i thought was complete nonsense, agree on Mike Bassett England Manager absolutely dire and another english comedy called Fat Slags that was out a few years ago, i felt like kicking the **** out of my little brother for renting that out on my card.

[lofty9]

Magnolia is the worst film I have ever had the misfortune to pay money to see. I still read reviews raving how good it is. Truly awful.

[jebus]

Magnolia? :eek: Natural Born Killers? :eek: seriously!? :)

The first few names that spring to mind are Domino (Keira Knightley at her acting low, and God know sthere has been many of those), Star Wars Episodes 1+2, Matrix 2+3, Pirates 2+3, and Mr.Nanny

[osarusan]

4. Every single movie Nicholas Cage has ever appeared in.


Have you seen Adaptation? It is quality. I agree he isnt great, but was decent in this, in both roles.

I'll go for The Village as my choice.

[First]

Except for Raising Arizona of course.

And Leaving Las Vegas

[GavinZac]

I'm starting to think that you are the anti-Gav

[Dodge]

Caught a bit of that Domino and yeah, it was rubbish. Tony Soctt directed it too so it should've been good.

Liked Magnolia myself

[osarusan]

I just remembered...........Deuce Bigalow, American Gigolo. (Sadly, I missed the sequel)

[jebus]

I'm starting to think that you are the anti-Gav

Just think, in bizarro world we could have been great friends! :)

But seriously when has Keira ever acted well? I know she used to look good (too much weight loss on her part these days), but I can't think of a single film where she came close to even being a part of the show, let alone stealing it

[Dodge]

RIght, reading above I'll also nominate the Village (and it was great up to a point but worst ending ever)

Another that was OK up to a certain point was Jeepers Creepers. I'm not a fan of slasher/horror but it had enough in it for me to like it up until it turned out to be a ****ing goblin!

Adaptation is great BTW

[BohsPartisan]

Ooooooh, speaking of Keira Knightly, add King Arthur to the list.
Jeepers Creepers was awful I though, funilly enough the DVD was brought to my Gaff by the same person who reccomended Blair Witch.

[jebus]

Ooooooh, speaking of Keira Knightly, add King Arthur to the list.

Right that makes King Arthur, two of the Pirates movies, Domino, The Jacket, The Hole, and Star Wars: Eps One on her roll call of shame

[Lionel Ritchie]

Except for Raising Arizona of course.

I said what I said.


And Leaving Las Vegas

...is that the one where he's REALLY hamming up his bad Elvis impersonator routine? Possibly with a ludicrously miscast Val Kilmer appearing to him AS Elvis from time to time? Jesus wept!!:p

[jebus]

Thats True Romance and Christian Slater you're thinking of, and on both counts of Jesus weeping for them you're wrong!! :)

[Dodge]

And Val Kilmer was PERFECTLY cast in True Romance (a great film)

[gustavo]

Blair Witch Project
Borat
Natural Born Killers
The Village
all films I've thoroughly enjoyed:)

[anto1208]

Lord of the bloody rings , what the hell was going on there how anyone can like them is beyond me , throw his king kong in there aswell .

Any micheal moore rubbish

[Wolfie]

Tend to avoid films with turkey reviews but.........

Closer - irritates me just thinking of that bloody film :mad:

Titanic - Too far fetched. A passenger ship hits an ice berg and sinks in early 1900's. As if................:rolleyes:

Theres many more abominations that may be dredged from the memory in the course of the thread.....................

[tetsujin1979]

The only film I came close to walking out of was "The Transporter". Utterly, utterly dire film. Jason Statham has been in a few decent flick, but this was total toss. Even the sex scene was boring! Decent fight scene in a garage with the floor doused in oil though.
Deep Blue Sea may as well have been a remake of Jaws.

[ifk101]

The Butterfly Effect ;)

But the worst film ever has to be Tank Girl.

[pete]

Magnolia is very heavy but not a bad movie. It is however not your popcorn type movie.

I would not go so far to say its a bad movie but I never got the whole Donie Darko thing (too much hype?) eventhough I usually like movies like that...

I will however nominate every Eddie Murphy movie since Beverly Hills Cops. How many times can you dress up as woman? :eek:

[KoemansCC]

RIght, reading above I'll also nominate the Village (and it was great up to a point but worst ending ever)


Wasn't The Village a remake of a Japanese classic?...haven't seen that either but usually the remake losses the point of the original (as in Vanilla Sky - remake of Abre los Ojos)

The worst film I have seen lately was called 'Idiocracy' - an air force layabout who gets frozen through cryogenics and reawakens in the future where the human population has been dumbed down and he is now the most intelligent person alive....

Sweet Jesus what was I thinking :confused:

[KoemansCC]

I will however nominate every Eddie Murphy movie since Beverly Hills Cops. How many times can you dress up as woman? :eek:

Or how often can he play nearly every leading character in the same film, watched Norbit on home at the weekend and it is muck....

[osarusan]

Blair Witch Project
Borat
Natural Born Killers
The Village
all films I've thoroughly enjoyed:)


I hope you feel suitably chastened. Footie has condemned you, and what footie does, no man can undo.

[John83]

Ha! Tony Scott hasn't made a passable film in years.


I'm an easily pleased cinema-goer.

I haven't seen it, but I expect XxX2 may actually be worse.


Right that makes King Arthur, two of the Pirates movies, Domino, The Jacket, The Hole, and Star Wars: Eps One on her roll call of shame
Ah now, it's hardly fair to blame her for The Phantom Menace.


I will however nominate every Eddie Murphy movie since Beverly Hills Cops. How many times can you dress up as woman? :eek:
Seconded.

[Dodge]

I will however nominate every Eddie Murphy movie since Beverly Hills Cops.

Except for Shrek, I agree.

Also every Steve Martin film since LA Story

[Dodge]

Ha! Tony Scott hasn't made a passable film in years.


Just checked, and I agree. Amazing how far you'll let one or good films go in a directors rep.:o

[ifk101]

Battlefield Earth and Mission to Mars.

[Wolfie]

Independence Day

[Steve Bruce]

Tom Cruises film 'War of the Worlds' Was very bad.
Harry Potter - Prisoner of Askzeban(the first and last HP film I'll ever watch)
Wimbledon - A truely awefull film.

Oh and Nicolas Cage rules.

[Lionel Ritchie]

Thats True Romance and Christian Slater you're thinking of, and on both counts of Jesus weeping for them you're wrong!! :)

I'm thinking of the Cage one where he keeps going on about his fcuking Snakeskin coat. Possibly had Laura Dern in it.

You're right of course about the worlds most expensive Jack Nicholson impersonator Christian Slater in True Romance.

How could I forget the pert nubile young Patricia Arquette in that? How'd it end by way? I dragged myself clean out of the room and only realised much later when I woke up on the back lawn. :eek::D

[carrickharp]

Had the misfortune to watch Final Descent last night waste of a few hours:mad: (no wonder I never heard of it!). Also there is usualy a p1ss film on flights to the US, well the past few flights they have been poor.

Rancid now there is another poor show no wonder Extravison are selling it for €2.50 (they give you the money to take it!)

[anto1208]

there is a lot of crap out there we need to make a check list so people can avoid wasting there time

1. If it star's Nic Cage put it back on the shelf .
2.If a black man is dressing as a fat woman (nutty proffesor big momma's house ) put it back .
3. Directed by Micheal Mann

feel free to add

[lofty9]

Not into Spielberg bashing but I remembered watching AI in America on its opening night and my wife and I were the only two people left in the cinema with 20mins of the film to go. I still had to finish my large cola and popcorn though. I never seen so many people get worked up about a film afterwards.

[Dodge]

3. Directed by Micheal Mann



Are you for real?

Mann's one of the best directors there is! Heat, Manhunter, The Insider, Last of the Mohicans, Collateral

Haven't seen Miami Vice but I've seen the rest of his films and there's not a bad film there but a couple of all time classics

[Steve Bruce]

Superman was rubbish to

[gustavo]

Ha! Tony Scott hasn't made a passable film in years.


Seconded.

Man on Fire was decent I thought.

[carrickharp]

Ploto Nash :eek:

Maybe he was thinking of Michael Bay?
