Hands down, for the production money that went into it, The Hobbit trilogy.

[–] Vengefu1Tuna@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is the only movie series that legitimately made me mad. The book seemed so simple to adapt to the screen. Just follow the book, with a little cut out to help with screen time, and watch the money roll in. Instead, we got one of the worst book adaptations Hollywood's ever seen.

The live-action Hobbit movies are the only movies that have a worse budget-to-quality ratio than Star Wars Episode II

Super hard for me to answer, because I almost exclusively watch good movies that I know I'll like.

Elektra and Daredevil come to mind.

Also Avatar. Amazing visually, but with the tritest of stories and 1 dimensional characters. I was so bored by the end of it.

Barb Wire starring Pamela Anderson. She is not known for being a good actress. I guess she has other assets that set her apart

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 year ago

I think it's mostly her breastsets, not her assets.

Jupiter Ascending - Terrible acting, story & let's not talk about the CGI

So it's actually impossible for me to have seen this movie, because it wasn't made and definitely doesn't exist, but The Last Airbender. I'm glad it doesn't actually exist, because if it did, then it would have been made by M. Night Shamalamadingdong and would have been some of the worst cinema ever created. Should this movie have actually existed, it would have been a sophomoric and badly made disaster with some of the worst writing, action, special effects, pacing, acting and a complete misunderstand of the source material.

If I were to have pirated it and watched it, I would still want a refund.

But that never happened, because there is no movie in Ba Sing Se.

[–] arashikage@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Star Wars:The Rise of Skywalker. I have never left a movie feeling like my intelligence was insulted until that movie.

[–] Xer0@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

That movie was ten times worse than TLJ, an a absolute shitfest from start to finish.

[–] lel@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rise of Skywalker is barely a movie. It feels like a reddit post written by someone mad at TLJ.

The sausage party or what ever it's called. Everybody was recommending it to me, such a funny movie.

What a absolute shit show was that. The only part that was a little bit funny was with the stoner dude having a existential crisis with the talking food.

[–] Badass_panda@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This movie was an unmitigated disaster. Awful, but not bad enough to enjoy because of it being bad. Too tone deaf to enjoy watching, not tone deaf enough to enjoy lampooning.

[–] fiasco@possumpat.io 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Setting aside stuff like Plan Nine and Manos and The Room and Birdemic, probably Star Trek XI, the one that JJ made. Splicing together test footage of Bela Lugosi and his chiropractor is one thing, but desecrating something beautiful is a sin.

[–] ken27238@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

The room is one of those movies that is just so bad it’s good.

The ”Disaster Artist” is the culmination of that.

[–] Deez@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unpopular opinion but, Avatar 2: The Way of Water. While it was mostly visually stunning, the writing was just β€œtoo painful”.

[–] Bageler@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very popular opinion. What a huge waste of time. Most expensive B movie ever, and doesn't have the camp value to pull off how bad the script is.

The problem with Birdemic is that it isn't even bad in a fun way.

[–] BigMoe@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

It's true. Actually watched the whole thing.

[–] lookluc@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The first 'The Human Centipede'. ~~The 2nd is kinda cool~~ Also, taking the oportunity to share a community to publish your favourite film frames !filmsframes@lemmy.world

The second Transformers film was so bad I was actually angry when I left the cinema.

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At this point, I don't even know which one that is. Every damn on I've seen has been trash and I swear they are all named something like the fall of such and such. Basically making it impossible for anyone to know what order they're in.

The Mary Poppins remake. To be honest, the movie was ok, but what really ruined it for me was the fact that a girl asked me out on a date to see the movie, then decided I wasn’t The One halfway through and just up and left

In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, starring Jason Statham and Ron Perlman. I saw it in theaters. When the evil army started loading their ninja turtle orcs into the catapults, setting them on fire, and launching them over Definitely-Not-Helm's-Deep, the audience started cracking up and openly making fun of it. It was a terrible movie.

[–] JaCrispy@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably the live-action Cat in the Hat movie. It was horrible.

[–] Bread@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

What are you talking about? I can't imagine a better movie. They could not have executed that acid trip of a film any better if they tried. Truly one of the greatest pieces of cinematography.

[–] ablackcatstail@lemmy.goblackcat.com 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I know I am going to be down-voted to hell but I really hated Fight Club.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 12 points 1 year ago

I'll give you an upvote but I 100% disagree with you hahaha

[–] Obstinatrician@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I think a lot of people like that movie for the wrong reasons.

I am Jack's complete lack of satirical comprehension.

[–] toototabon@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Why? Interested on hearing you out. It was interesting the first time I watched it.

[–] tastik@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed - it's not a good adaptation of the book

[–] oddMinus1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I somehow sat through The Room, so I guess that.

Woody woodpecker, epitome of lazy Hollywood film making, nothing unique or redeeming at all just another cgi mascot in a real world setting with a bollocks story

I couldn’t make past 20 minutes of Cats. It’s just so bad and weird it makes me uncomfortable watching it.

[–] QuikxSpec@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This would be higher if people actually saw it lol. That being said, I have not either

[–] nueonetwo@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Probably Tiptoes. Gary Oldman plays a little person who is Matthew McConaugeys twin brother

Dragonball Evolution

[–] vortexal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

I don't watch very many movies and this might be a controversial answer but the Hunger Games (at least the first movie, I've only seen the first one). It actually took me a whole month to watch it because the first time I tried to watch it, I fell asleep about 5 minutes in and I had to build up the mental fortitude to actually finish watching it. And it took me a total of three sittings to watch because I didn't have any connection to the story or the characters at all. I think I also remember the second half of the movie being actually good (not great, just good) but nothing really notable happens in the first half.

I think if they gave less time to the back story of the characters and focused more on the hunger games portion, it might have been fine.

[–] AvgCakeSlice@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

A Christian Carol. I know Christian movies are low-hanging fruit, but the awful CGI, terrible writing, horrible camerawork, and nonsensical story really just make it truly awful.

I've seen a ton of bad movies over the years, but Moonfall has probably got to be the worst I've seen recently. Picture every possible disaster movie and sci-fi movie stereotype and trope... they are ALL in that film. I started laughing about halfway through and just couldn't stop, it was so bad

[–] pax27@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The worst movie I ever saw in a cinema was a Milla Jovovic flick called Ultraviolet.

How bad was it, you ask. Well, I would have left the cinema but my girlfriend was sleeping soundly and I didn't want to disturb her. Honestly, people were just looking at each other after the movie was over, openly laughing and talking to strangers about how bad it was. You could say it was so bad that it brought people together over how awful it was, so that's nice.

THE STEWARDESSES in 3D was the first film I ever walked out of.
