The worst film you've ever seen

shanghai surprise

Lord of the Rings

Overwrought, overlong - I fell asleep, woke up and some really gay trees were mincing about the place, speaking, would you believe - cure for insomnia.

Mister Froddo turned out to be the yank hard-case in Green Street, which was a head-trip and a half.

Can`t remember what it was called but Clive Owen was in it.

Actually it was every film that has had Clive Owen in it.

Yes that`s it, it was called `This film is crap because Clive Owen is in it`

The worst film I've sat through from start to finish is American Hustle.



Lots of films I've given up on after 30mins. Its staggering considering the huge budgets how many films have abysmal acting and/or story lines

American Hustle was great!!!

Totally agree about Lord of the Rings,

never saw the last two films and have no intention to..

Vampires v Strippers grossed £38 on it's release. I don't know if they deducted the refund I demanded.

However, the film "John Tucker Must Die" is easily the worst I've seen. I imagined it would be some sort of chase movie with lots of action. I was misled.

Not vampires, Werewolves v Strippers ffs!

is this a w/o Avatar market?

I actually quite enjoyed Avatar, but then I watched it on a phone. Some films really do work better on the small screen.

yeah, Independence Day was great with the screensaver on

Zazu

You have to be kidding !! American Hustle is a superb film. Brillian direction,plot,acting and sound track.

Stargate only film i've walked out on, Avatar only film I fell asleep through at the cinema, two extremely dull films.

Hitchcock - painful from start to finish

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen,such a disappointment from Terry Gilliam,closely followed by Clash of the Titans(1981).The latter was part of my strategy for avoiding any of Big Ears and Noddy's wedding.Began the day with a visit to the launderette followed by the cinema.Would have walked out after 20 or so minutes,otherwise.Got back home thinking that TV coverage was all over and there they were,up on the balcony of Buck Palace waving to the hordes of moronic sycophants.

saw Gravity a few weeks back
how that can be nominated for anything
other than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick
is beyond me

shawshank redemption-walofs.

I could name a hundred that are all as bad as each other, but most of them you will never have heard of. Soooooo out of 'popular' moives, i give you.....

Max Payne.

Repo Men - so awful I walked out. Wouldn't have been so bad but I was on a flight at the time.

is it about a double glazing salesman G2D

1/ Avatar
2/ Titanic

both films of the highest guff possible.

A serious man - so so boring. felt as if i was watching an accountancy class by marvin the robot.

Inception - How this is 8.8 on IMDB is beyond me!

I wish it was, mr wit. It may well then have been watchable..

Battlefield Earth.

The Wicker Man ......the remake

Shalako - a western; cast included Sean Connery (as a kind of cowboy), Brigitte Bardot, Honor Blackman and, obviously (as it's a western) Eric Sykes. Preposterously derived plot, cardboard characters, school play direction and acting, tortuous music. Utterly naff in every way. A must-see for all film buffs imo.

Miami Vice

Miami Vice

Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise

in the last film i ever saw, they wore suits and they wore ties

Of films I've paid to watch in a cinema

- Legal Eagles
- Give My Regards To Broad Street
- As Good As It Gets

All stank

Chariots of Fire the only one actually to cause me to leave the cinema. Such a worthy film.

"Escape Plan" is a new prison-break movie starring both Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Trust me this is without any doubt the biggest pile of do da I have ever had the misfortune to watch.Be amazed if anyone rates it.

Utter utter garbage.

you've all missed the banker...


Boxing Helena

Inspector Gadget

Billy Elliott, absolute pants.

i think there are different categories of bad.

you've got big budget films that are sh1t, including Avatar, Battlefield earth, the Spiderman films and transformers films which are all monstrously sh1t. Avatar cost almost 8 times as much to make as District 9 which is about 50 times better.

you've got films that the critics love and win prizes at film festivals which are just utter crap,  a field mike leigh excels in, in particular Happy Go Lucky and Another Year, which is a truly dreadful film, oddly enough paired with some great acting.

there's a litany of failed comedies - Freddie got fingered being an example, most things sandler makes.

and then you've got The Room which is just outright bad.

I, however, hold a special place in my gall bladder, for Love Actually which is an abomination of a film.

Underworld: Evolution with Kate Beckinsale. Complete dog dirt. It didn't show anything of her underworld.

Paranormal Activity 3 was heinous. As was Jaws 3. As was Godfather 3...

I see a familiar trait ere...

Eraserhead

Tree Of Life

Best Defence with Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy

The Chronicles of Riddick - absolute guff.

Oh no, sorry, my mistake, Going Overboard starring Adam Sandler.

Absolutely diabolical. Some films are so bad they're good, but Going Overboard is so bad it's bad. It's like watching a 90 minute car crash.

Love Actually was lovely

Can I have cats? - even though it on at the theatre?I still haven't got over it.Otherwise, The Guardian.

The re-make of Planet of the Apes was a shocker

Any Simon Pegg/Nick Frost film is guaranteed to be sh1t, but special mention must go to Shaun Of The Dead, and Hot Fuzz, which were particularly bad. These 2 should always be near the top of any lists.

Too many to mention, but I really hated

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Analyse This
Sky Captain and The World Of Tomorrow

and of course, those Fokker films, FFS.

Antichrist.
I believe it was called an 'arty' film.
It was crap.
Only 3 in the cast, and of those was an infant.
But if you like weird, including a close up of a woman cutting off her own clitoris with scissors, you'll probably enjoy it.
As for the ending, I have no idea what was going on.

remake Planet of the Apes 2001

even the chimp couldn't act

not been the same since they stopped
them doing the P G Tips ads

agree with Gabriel re anything with Clive Owen in it. Also agree with the OP as I had to suffer this on several occasions myself some years ago.
However I noted an interesting online review:

"Anyway, to make a long and painful story short, there's almost no motivation for any of the characters in this story to do anything at all. Somehow Mr. Conductor (not an Awdry creation) is running out of gold dust, which will somehow make his "universe" fall apart. There's no mention as to why supplies would dwindle to nothing when it's the only thing holding Sodor together - Mr. Conductor is pretty irresponsible if you ask me. He summons his idiot brother who is no help at all, and together they and the rest of the characters stumble on the answer and save the day in a completely underwhelming conclusion.

Your kids may enjoy the railroad scenes, but don't watch this movie unless you want your brains to leak out of your head and turn to mush. The models are great, but the acting and writing are ridiculous. Avoid at all costs!!!"

Kill Bill

Lock stock and two smoking barrels - 6th form media student geezer bollokcs which paved the way for a flood of even worse 6th form media student geezer bollokcs

Another vote for Tree of Life. I came out of the cinema shaking with anger at the time I had wasted watching it.

The Road and Signs also complete wastes of space.

I would like to nominate a Liz Hurley film but I don't know any/ or has made any?

Perhaps we should ask a bunch of Pre-school children to cast their opinion on The Shawshank Redemption

Mamma Mia.
So bad it was still bad.

much as i like saying it in a weebl and bob voice, Life of Pi

Attempted to watch Vikingdom the other day. Unbelievably appalling pile of sh1te "starring" Craig Fairbrass. Had to turn it off after half an hour. Certificate 18 yet ironically would only really appeal to under 10's. Bad costumes, sets, CGI, dialogue, acting - It's a must see.

I saw one the other night called The Box, it had Cameron Diaz in it so I thought it would be at least watchable... it was really ****g abysmal, I actually found myself laughing out loud several times at a)how truly awful it was and b)how seriously it took itself

Trailer:  http://tiny.cc/efbtex

Wasn't that some guff about a box that she could take £1m out of but if she did someone somewhere was going to die as a result? Sounded terrible so gave it a wide berth.

Walked out of "Inside Llewyn Davis" recently.

Hope you didn't give him your real phone number.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Crank

watched American hustle last night has to be the worse film I have seen in years ,total dross ,as for the final scam

for a Scam movie The Sting pisses all over this ...

star wars, i had to go with my cousin and my da as he was staying in ours as  kid, my da fell asleep in the cinema, i didnt have that much luck 

The Time Machine (2002) - to this day, the only film I have ever walked out of the cinema from. Only managed about 25 minutes of it.

White commanche staring william shatner as twins, you will never see a worse film if you live to 150.

White commanche staring william shatner as twins, you will never see a worse film if you live to 150.

Gosford Park
Signs
The Guard
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Brothers Grimm

Paranormal Activity (the first one, couldn't bear to watch any other)

Was told this was as scary as the Exorcist when that first came out so sat down my cellar , pitch black apart from the film on my monitor , and I kid you not I simply couldn't find ONE instance where not only was I not scared but where I was SUPPOSED to be scared , yet in the previews all you see is people in the audience with hands over there eyes shrieking , if somebody can walk it through with me and point out where the scary bits are I would be grateful.

And how in all that is holy it has manged to spawn the number of sequels is beyond me.

NEXT with Nicholas Cage....utter GASH!!

Walked out after 15 minutes of "My big fat Greek wedding" at the pictures. Absolute shight

thought id posted on this.....try-happy go lucky(mike leigh)utter steaming cacksville arizona

Zoolander.

the human centipede

harry potter the first one

The Mexican. The worst film I have watched at a cinema. Considering the cast, it was an absolute shocker.

I was also disappointed with American Hustle, considering the hype.

"Escape Plan" is a new prison-break movie starring both Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Trust me this is without any doubt the biggest pile of do da I have ever had the misfortune to watch.Be amazed if anyone rates it.

Utter utter garbage.



Has anyone seen this film and want to defend it?

it is impossible to defend any film that has either Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger in it imo

Titanic was visually impressive, but sit there and listen to the dialogue only without watching the scenes, then convince me it wasn't a pile of absolute shoighte

I watched bits and pieces of 'Hush' last night.
I missed the first 10 minutes.
An HGV1 driver had kidnapped a girl [presumably at a service station)on the M1.
By the time I tuned in, for some obscure reason her boyfriend (played by a bloke who use to be a teacher in Waterloo Road) had his hands secured with a cable tie and was running towards the service station shops area.

He was being pursued by a big bloke in a black coat and hoodie. It helped his cause that the bloke walked as slow as a zombie, as they are depicted in films. 
A ludicrous scene with two coppers in the khazis followed the 'chase'.
I tuned out.
When I tuned back in the bloke was at the drivers yard.
He seemed daft enough to have only 2 vehicles, but a yard the size of Wembley Stadium, all protected by laser activated floodlights.
As the camera panned about I saw a crane that had been parked with a container on its hook, in the air.
It was now 1.01 that it would be dropped on the driver before the end of the film.
I tuned out and went back in with about 5 minutes to go.
The bloke sent the driver to the wrong vehicle with some gadgetry used in mobile phones.
In a floor space that was 40 feet by 8 feet, in a field the size of Wembley, yet that was exactly where he stopped.
What were the odds of that?
The bloke then dropped the container on him as he stood there motionless.
I'm glad I never bothered to watch it all.

As a student I worked at a cinema. The main screen had a 900 capacity and most Fridays the weeks big release would open in there to a full house. On opening night for the film 'Straight Talk' (1992), a Dolly Parton vehicle, there was precisely no-one in there. So I sat and watched it, alone. All I can say is they knew.
I've just checked its IMDB rating, a very generous 5.5

city rats

its sick, perverted,dull, gloomy.  Need i go on

The Devil's Advocate 1997

The World's End.

Excrement.

At the risk of death threats, I have to say Star Wars.
I went to see it as a kid with mates and at age 9, yeah it was ok. Saw it when it was re-released after 20(?) years as the wife loves it.
It's the only time I've slept in a cinema.

Avatar all day long.

Honourable mention for Titanic.

Really not a James Cameron fan

In The Cut 2003 (starring Meg ryan and Jennifer Jason Leigh).  5.3 on IMDb

Slipstream 2007 (starring and directed by Anthony Hopkins).  5.1 on IMDb

I'd rate both films as a 2 or 3 at best and I tend toward generosity.
