I second that motion.
I think Face Off was horribl and alot of shit Cage is in just plain sucks. He is the most dramatic overactor of our times.

StarWars - all of the new ones. I’ve seen rocks do better acting and dead epileptic children write better scripts. Somebody should have released sleeping gas when all those nerds were camping out in front of the theatre. They would miss the movie and then upon waking up and realizing it commit mass suicide. And I’d take the prize on America’s Funniest Home Videos for filming it.[/quote]
I agree. I haven’t seen Episode 3 yet because the first two “episodes” left such a horrible taste in my mouth.
Another really bad one was “Godzill” with Matthew Broderick. I was so rooting for the monster.
Boxing Helena and that one with the possessed gorillas and the one that talks through a communicator. I forget that name. Walked out of the theater though.

Hey gojira,
Are you going to see the new Peter Jackson King Kong? the trailers look pretty good,
Much better than the 1976 crappy version.

Probably not. I know how it ends. Hated the first one because of this. My sympathies lie with the poor beast.
Ah, that one broke my heart too. Have you seen any of the later ones like Godzilla 2000 or Tokyo SOS? Quite good. What folks don’t appreciate about these movies is that they are all done with guys in rubber suits and very intricate models. Final Wars was great. They blatently ripped off a number of sci-fi flicks. We had fun naming them (the Matrix, Star Wars, Independence Day…). There’s a great behind the scenes feature on the DVD too.
Such a shame they screwed it up so bad. Conan had black hair and ice blue eyes. Not brown hair (bad wig) and an Austrian accent. He was not an idiot, but a very fierce warrior and eventually king. Maybe someone will get it right one day.
“The Pest” drove me to insanity.

this is interesting. the royal ten and crouching tiger are two of my favorite pictures ever.
worst ever is tough. there’re alot of bad ones . a few that come to mind which gave me an actual visceral reaction to their horribleness are:
-
swordfish - that movie was so frickn bad , watching it was when i realized halle berry wasn’t sexy.
-
enemy of the state- this movie could’ve been a classic. instead they made a cartoon that wouldn’t have held my interest in 2nd grade.
3.reindeer games- what can i say. it’s only like 90 frickn minutes but somehow that movie stole a whole week of my life that i’ll never get back.
i have noticed that to filmies the movie “ishtar”, is generally regarded to be the worst movie ever made, in the same way that " citizen kane " is generally regarded to be the best. anyone seen it ?

I agree. Crouching Tiger, Hero, and even the House of Flying Daggers are all great martial arts movies. It really doesn’t surprise me, however, that a girl might not be into it. That is like being surprised that a woman doesn’t like Terminator 2 because of the explosions and lack of a love scene.

Haha, I think you’re talking about Congo, didn’t think it was that bad though. The part where they were shooting the possessed apes with the laser was pretty cool…
I absolutely LOVED House of the Flying Daggers. And I’ve noticed a lot of girls don’t like many of the movies I really love: Fargo (it may be the wood-chopper scene… or the fact that no one seems to really care people are getting murdered), the Godfather, Kill Bill vol. 1, Pulp Fiction (maybe when she ODed and had to get stabbed with a 10 inch long needle?), House of the Flying Daggers.
Anyways, you guys might enjoy this: IMDb Bottom 100 - IMDb
The list changes quite often, but it’s worth looking over, especially for all those horrible B-rated horror films that later became cult classics via Mystery Science Theater 3000. Manos: the Hand of Fate!! That movie was so bad, I think two actors committed suicide after it was released.

I you love that one, you must try that director’s previous movie: Hero
It marks Jet Li’s return to period pieces, which is how he made his name in Hong Kong.
The Howling II was absolutely putrid, especially after such a great, original first movie. I only sat through it because I wanted to see Sybil Danning naked.
Scott
OK, from the moment I hit “Submit,” I knew something was wrong with House of the Flying Daggers. I meant “Kung Fu Hustle.” I know, very different movies, but I saw them a while ago, and the whole shtick in Kung Fu Hustle about the two assassins with the ghostly flying daggers (or katana blades, they were big), made me think of a different title.
I do know that I am going to enjoy both Hero and the real House of the Flying Daggers (I love Kung-Fu movies).
War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. Really, really bad science and logic. Gee, if the aliens had already been to Earth to bury their machines, wouldn’t they have known about those pesky germs on our planet…hmmm? And the rays that disintegrated people but not their clothing. More bad science.
And would Tom Cruise stop trying to act, please. He’s so bad and so unbelievable.
The little girl was pretty good though.

Just to help with the logic (as I do more research than I should into movies), the alien crafts were here, not the aliens. They launched them here thousands of years ago before they invaded. The rays dehydrated organic matter instantly. That is why dust was all that was left.
I actually didn’t find the science lacking, I found the point of view lacking. Spielberg decided to focus on how an average man would take the events if he went through it. I would have preferred seeing this from the perspective of one of the military than what they presented. I guess he thought Independance Day already did that.

See Collateral Damage. That movie is the only reason I haven’t jumped on the “hate Cruise train” with everyone else. His Mission Impossible movies, along with Vanilla Sky, weren’t that bad either.

Dakota Fanning is probably one of the most gifted child actors in Hollywood. She’s a great actor period. I remember thinking the same about Elijah Wood when I first saw him in The Good Son.
Timeline with Paul Walker
and
Narnia
In both movies I rooted for the main characters to die for most of the movie. The main characters in Narnia were ungodly annoying and the new storyline developments didn’t flow at all.

Cage was good when he was doing comedy - Peggy Sue Got Married, Raising Arizona. In dramatic or action roles, he sucks.
I’ll have to say HARRY POTTER series. The movies are sooooo BAD.
There’s a plot troughout the whole movie that connect’s with the end of the story, NO!! To watch a 2 hour movie with no deeper meaning what so ever, so that the 90 lbs geek boy with lame magicl power (Wasn’t he supposed to be some great magician or something) can kill some “insert dangerous enemy” in 60 second of the movie and all that without loosing a limb or a gallon of blood. SHIT!!!
Mission To Mars - Great cast, bad movie. We walked out after 1/2 hour.

In the words of Richard Jeni:
“A movie so bad that even if you didn’t have a brain, you still wouldn’t believe the plot. I mean, Even if you’re just a spinal column and a bucket of popcorn, you’re gonna be like <Hey, I’m no brain, but this is a stupid movie>”
