Speaking of bad movies this summer:
Speedracer.
Not the worst but: Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull — what a lousy movie! The plot was moronic, the editting was beyond pathetic, and the gimmicks were stupid. The special effects however were decent. This was such an obvious scam by all those people, to line their pockets based on their reps from the previous excellent movies…they couldn’t turn down all those dollars I guess.
Any kind of “best friends 4ever” movie where one friend gets diagnosed with some sort of chick cancer, as a general rule, will suck total donkey balls.
I will spend the entire movie waiting for the friend to kick the bucket and then laugh through the funeral scene just so I can feel like I didn’t get ripped off.

Here’s one:
Pretty much any movie that involves the main character having to “clear his name”.
I liked Shooter.
and The Fugitive.
and The Fugitive 2.
and Transporter 2
And North by Northwest
And Who Framed Roger Rabbit
and The Mighty Quinn
and Judge Dredd
and The Negotiator
and the Sentinel
and Tango and Cash
and The Warriors
Not a lot of originality anymore, is there?[/quote]
Damn I knew there were going to be a bunch of exceptions. Oh well. But when I’m reading a description of a movie and at the end it says “…and clear his name” I take caution.

That one sucked balls.
Are you sure that’s not from a video game? Grand Theft Auto? Otherwise, I have no idea.[/quote]
No, it’s not from a video game. I know I saw this movie. But, I guess it was so bad, it disappeared from the face of the planet, just like the ET video game.

hahaha…that was a terrible video game. Do you remember who was in the movie or are you trying to completely purge it from your memory? The only really bad biker movie I can think of right now was Stone Cold starring Brian Bosworth.

Usually, I can remember this stuff pretty good. But I believe the movie was so bad, that this is what happened to my memory.
No, and that’s not it. It was one where the main character rode a street bike, and it starred Ice Cube. Wait, I think I remember now! (Dammit)
Torque: that was the name of the movie. Anyone else ever see it?
The fifth element, fuck I hate that movie!
Corny
Bad effects
Bad acting
Bad story
ANd fuckinjg ghey. I was actually embarreded to watch it… somehow…

That was a beautiful video game. You got to walk the oddly placed brown blocks into wierd pyramid shaped green boxes…all while being chased by other oddly placed black boxes with tiny box handguns…that shot boxes.
As you can see, intrigue, special effects, AND a great plot.

I stand corrected. Nostalgia for the Atari 2600 has overcome me.

LOL!!
As far as Judge Dredd and Fifth Element, those 2 are perfect examples of what I was saying before. They are SUPPOSED to be goofy and stupid. They project that view of themselves and taken as such they succeed. Both were pathetic, but I liked em anyway.
It’s movies like The Blair Witch Project (didn’t somebody mention that one) that attempt to be mortally serious and scary, but wind up as really bad boring comedy at best that really irk me.
I thought 5th Element was pretty good. I have it on DVD :shrug: then again, I have like 900 of them, lol

Those were both pretty good (men in black also) and did the goofy/stupid thing well. When a movie tries to do this and fails it can be disastrous like The Adventures of Pluto Nash or Son of the Mask. Easily mistaken for a style that tries to be serious but ends up just being seriously stupid, like Highlander II.
Moulin Rouge
I would rather scrape my gums with a cheese grater than sit through that steaming turd of a film again.
Anyone else entirely disappointed by “Traffic”? I watched the whole thing thinking this movie was so highly reviewed, when is it gonna get good? And BAMN, it was over.

Agreed. I was unimpressed.
Cabin Boy with Chris Elliot
Druids with Christopher Lambert
85% of any of the movies on MST3K.
Two of the worst movies of all time:
Crash
Across the Universe
Yeah I’m bumping this thread…
…with more Wicker Man
Hell even Nicholas Cage can’t stand The Wicker Man:
Don’t remember if I’ve posted here but:
Ghost Rider
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
