The "Do not watch this movie it is awful" thread

[sinister1]

Please post all movies that are unbelievably awful and should never be watched. I will start:

The Girlfriend Experience (Directed by Steven Soderbergh, about a high end escort who is played by porn star Sasha Grey)

This movie is so horrible I cannot in good conscience stand idly by without warning people of its awfulness.

[wufwugy]

anything that doesn't have jason statham

hes so dreamy

[bigspenda73]

so I skimmed the movie in OP, cuz hell, SashaGrey ldo.

looked awful, she looked good though.

[Halv]

"The wicker man" with nicholas cage.

[meeloche]

That will ferrel movie where his life is narrated by that english chick.

[bigspenda73]

That will ferrel movie where his life is narrated by that english chick.

what, i thought that was decent

"stranger than fiction" amirite?

[meeloche]

yeah sounds about right. I thought it would be great but I just found it boring. I watched it on the plane though for what thats worth. I thought the story was ok at first but I felt it just lacked substance. Like they took 1h and a half or however long it was when it could have been accomplished in half the time. It felt long for the sake of ok this is a movie thats gonna go in theatres it can't be 45 minutes.

[JKDS]

i loved stranger than fiction. of course, its not a typical will ferrel movie where he acts like a loud childish idiot (not that its a bad thing) so i see how people might expect the wrong thing from it.

[ATOTHEC101]

Coraline (saw it recently), absolute monkey balls. Seriously.
















I'm not kidding, I actually considered screaming ' Why are we watching this? Fucking newsnight is on currently, I'd rather watch frigging paxman than this utter excretion of a production, omfg'. I held back and just gritted my teeth but meh, a part of me died that day.

[Ragnar4]

Titus

That movie made my eyes bleed.

[mcatdog]

The worst movie I've ever seen is probably "Speed 2," but I can't hate on that type of movie because no one ever meant it to be decent in the first place. Out of movies that are actually trying to be good, "Crash" is by far the worst ever. Watching this movie feels like someone is beating your brain with a sledge hammer.

[lolzzz_321]

spun

home of the brave

an uzi at the alamo

big nothing

[thizzSantaCruz]

how can you not like spun?

[Halv]

I liked Stranger than fiction too.

[Robb]

There's this "real time" movie called "Nick of Time" that looked like 24 before Jack Bauer was invented. We rented it and watched it with some good friends. About 30 minutes in, after a couple people made half-hearted this kinda sucks comments, we all just admitted it was horrible and played the rest of the movie as community Mystery Science Theater, pausing/rewinding to mock its horribleness.

[Parasurama]

Dead Poet Society - easily the worst movie ever made.

Good Will Hunting - I'm sorry Robin Williams, I don't hate you, but
jesus... Gus Van Sant directs a Matt Daemon&Ben Asslick movie... what kind of idiot volunteers to collaborate on this?

Dogma - I like Kevin Smith as a person, but I didn't even make it through this one. When Jesus freaks make a movie about religion, it's bound to fail miserably.

Cloverfield - don't even know what to say. They should have handed out aspirin in the theater. Maybe if you watch lots of MTV you can take it, but I had to look away from the screen a couple of times... it made me feel like a hypnotized chicken.

And I'm really not that picky, I like most movies... but all of the above make Mel Gibson look like a genius.

spun

wtf trip, spun is awesome.

illuminati was a complete mess, dont waste ur money. thinking about it, i hate every single movie with tom hanks.

[dthorne04]

what the mother fuck? dead poets society? good will hunting? and shit, dogma isn't even that bad.

I like Will Farrell, but Semipro was unwatchable.

I couldn't finish the Planet of the Apes remake.

Fantastic 4 has potential, but the movies are horrible.

I couldn't finish Match Point. I like classic Woody Allen films, but this was waay to slow. Scarlet Johansson is nice to look at though.

I was forced to watch the English Patient (date compromise) and like Elaine from Seinfeld thought it sucked ass.

This post is hard to rationalize. Dogma is one of my favorite movies. I loved cloverfield and have probably rewatched it 4 or 5 times. Good Will Hunting Rocks and I would recommend dead poets society for someone looking for a flick.

[GatorJH]

any post that involves personal taste is hard to rationalize.

[Vinland]

Gods and Generals - its a prequel to Gettysburg....

The dialogue is fucking terrible and so is the acting....I love war movies, love cival war movies but this movie was vomiting....

I see where you are coming from but calling these movies awful and unwatchable is a bit harsh isn't it? I also hate Dead Poets' Society because of how absurd the ending is, but it's far from the worst movie ever made. Good Will Hunting has a few scenes that don't work but it's a pretty good movie overall IMO. Surely you've seen worse movies than this?

[bigred]

Remind me to not take movie suggestions from Oskar.


The new star trek movie is meh. Not much of a story and a lot of useless scenes.

I rarely turn movies off or walk out.

The Brothers Grimm (or whatever its called) was one.

[mrhappy333]

any movie with xxxxx Baldwin as an Actor in it. They are all soooo terrible.

[wufwugy]

self ownage if there was ever. match point has one of the best endings of any movie.

its 'slowness' is a product of it being a drama

[nibbles]

Gummo. I'd never heard of that movie until someone here posted about it, and it was terrible. "Do not watch this movie it is awful" but if you start watching, you will keep watching it to see how much more fugged up it will get. You wont get those 90 minutes back. Really fugged up movie.

It's the movie version of a modern play, so it's artsy and without much in the way of a plot or point. It's one of those plays people like to say they enjoyed to pretend they're really intelligent and sophisticated.

[Jack Sawyer]

Never ever ever watch Birthday Girl.

How it got 58% on Rotten Tomatoes is beyond all attempts of comprehension.

darkness (2003)
4% on rottentomatoes

[mrhappy333]

Alec Baldwin is the best out of all the Baldwin actors for sure.

[BennyLaRue]

The Brown Bunny.

Sure, you get a scene with a real actress giving a real hummer, but it's just not worth it to suffer through 8 minute stretches with no dialogue.

[wufwugy]

Alec Baldwin is the best out of all the Baldwin actors for sure.

hes the only one as far as im concerned

[UG]

I think it was Bride of Chucky? Yeah, I walked out of the movie theatre half-way because it was so bad. Wow.

[meeloche]

I don't know if I'd say it was awful but the International wasn't very good.

[ZwiFT]

What Just Happened?

omg what a lame ass movie. Thought it had alot of potential with the good actors and shit but man.. One of the worst i've seen to date

I concur, the first half of Dogma is probably top five (or better) for me for halves of movies....second half is okay, but holy shit not a terrible movie (lol oskar must be a jezzzus freak lol).

Good Will Hunting? I've never sat down to make a list but it'd probably be in my top ten of my favorite movies. I'll stop and watch on TNT or wherever I see it on and watch for a while when it's on.

[lolzzz_321]

how do i not like big nothing?

david schwimmer and simon pegg for starters

[Illfavor]

The Da Vinci Code/Angels and Demons.

There were so many things idiotic about these two movies. They clearly had the chance to be an epic two-part series, but then they did it out of order, acknowledged it in the movies, and did nothing interesting in around 5 hours of screenplay. Oh and btw, Jesus had a daughter and it's easy to kill ppl in public. I fucking hate movies that are OBVIOUSLY SELF-AWARE. It's called suspended belief Mr. Howard, but when it's like Tom Hanks is looking at us winking going "hahaha yea guys remember when I exposed the Catholic church for over a 1,000 years of deceit and murder that should completely destroy the faith-base of 1/6th of the world's population but like lol no one noticed or w/e hey thanks for that book from your archives crazy how it all turns out to be done by two people in each movie."

Oh, and any Jim Carrey/Adam Sandler movie made this decade.

[boost]

thick as theives.


I seriously think this could be the worst all around movie Ive ever seen. And Ive seen most of the movies in the leprechaun series..

[XTR1000]

Im sorry for all youse Paris Hilton fans, but House of Wax was godawful

[ZwiFT]

This thread inspired me to download and watch dogma and good will hunting again.. Their awesome

[Da GOAT]

Max Payne sucks, watched it this weekend.

[BennyLaRue]

Im sorry for all youse Paris Hilton fans, but House of Wax was godawful

I thought it was hilarious.

Dark Knight





JUST KIDDING!!!!!!



THANK YOU THANK YOU'RE TOO KIND

[a500lbgorilla]

he was good in that movie but his performances since are to die for.

Are the living end.

Are suicidal overdoses.

[givememyleg]

yes man

liked good will hunting and crash was okay

[givememyleg]

oh god max payne sucked

[givememyleg]

oh also, syriana w/ george clooney is probably the worst movie i've ever seen

[revolvingiris]

Is this for movies that suck or that are awesomely bad? Either way Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter gets my vote

[sinister1]

I started the thread with the idea that we would warn each other about movies that are unwatchable. Awesomely bad movies is a good idea too though.

[boost]

I rarely turn movies off or walk out.

The Brothers Grimm (or whatever its called) was one.

I thought this movie was fun. I think Im a sucker for a movie with good set pieces that carry a visual theme throughout. This is why I was pretty turned off by T:Salvation. Im not mentioning this movie in this thread because I think its unwatchable, I just think the sets were pitiful. Even the CGI was really bad at times. In a scene on the outskirts of the machines HQ, there are these big yellow construction vehicles driving around... only thing different about them and the ones you see building a new lane on your local highway is that they had a little red dot and no human driver.

Also the visual theme was completely inconsistent, and at times made no sense at all. It went from the expected post apocalyptic terminator stuff, to transformers, to the interior of the spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

"Transformers was a blockbuster! We need towering robots that transform/combine with other machines! We'll be rich!" Thats all I could think as I watched those scenes. And whats with the machine HQ having hallways and computer interfaces for humans? Seriously, that was just off putting.

Like I said, the movie is quite entertaining, but I just dont understand why they had to depart from the visual styling that we saw in the scenes from the previous movies that showed the apocalyptic future. Also, what happened to lasers... they shot lasers in TII:Judgement Day.. why are they now shooting conventional rounds? BAH! so much potential squandered away for no reason.

[wufwugy]

how could the director of charlies angels ever gone so wrong

[oskar]

I did not expect that much dissent.

Good Will Hunting and Dead Poet Society are godawful movies because they are intolerably pathetic in addition to being grossly overrated.
You people have been fooled into believing they are good like people are being fooled into believing that Dane Cook is funny and Big Macs are edible. :P

omg, he's fighting him with his psychology!

[bigspenda73]

ty for the youtube clip, love that scene

Also, Dane Cook is not funny BUT Big Mac's are fucking delicious

[ZwiFT]

How can you say the movie sucks and post a legendary clip at the same time =) God i love it

[kmind]

Everything oskar said was a lie but the Dane Cook part.

toddanderson ftw and good will hunting is the greatest of all time.

putting Good Will Hunting in the same sentence with a Dane Cook movie makes you look like a fucking dumbass. Sorry.


EDIT: And actually, I like Dane Cook. I've seen a few of his shows and he's......funny. Do I like him as an actor? Not really. But for you to knock Good Will Hunting like that, one of the best movies of the last 15 years or so......makes you look silly.
