Hands down, for the production money that went into it, The Hobbit trilogy.
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.
You make more money with a trilogy!
Just make each movie of the trilogy 30 minutes long! Copy the TikTok hype and call them "shorts"!
The live-action Hobbit movies are the only movies that have a worse budget-to-quality ratio than Star Wars Episode II
Episode II aged better than Episode I. I'll die on this high ground.
In much the same way roadkill ages better than a roadside piss bottle
Words do indeed matter.
From the moment they decided to milk it for three movies I knew it was going to suck. It's a simple little adventure story ffs.
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.
Exactly what I thought of Avatar: visually impressive, but really boring.
Haven't seen the second one, but I assume it's the same.
Barb Wire starring Pamela Anderson. She is not known for being a good actress. I guess she has other assets that set her apart
I think it's mostly her breastsets, not her assets.
Jupiter Ascending - Terrible acting, story & let's not talk about the CGI
Eddie Redmayne somehow managed to act well through the terrible script. Only redeeming part of the movie.
I think i made it 10 minute into that movie.
The second Transformers film was so bad I was actually angry when I left the cinema.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Unpopular opinion but, Avatar 2: The Way of Water. While it was mostly visually stunning, the writing was just “too painful”.
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.
What do you mean, bro? C'mon cuz!
Star Wars:The Rise of Skywalker. I have never left a movie feeling like my intelligence was insulted until that movie.
That movie was ten times worse than TLJ, an a absolute shitfest from start to finish.
Rise of Skywalker is barely a movie. It feels like a reddit post written by someone mad at TLJ.
That is the perfect distillation of what it feels like watching that shitshow.
For the life of me I can’t understand this. It doesn’t even make sense from a business perspective. Like, yes people will pay to see this movie no matter what but that good will will dry up eventually. Any amount of effort to have made these movies legitimately decent would have paid off vastly in the long run. It just seems utterly bizarre that Disney would just YOLO this shit and stand around as their golden goose is slowly strangled for what ever gold flakes they can pick out of the shit
I know I am going to be down-voted to hell but I really hated Fight Club.
I'll give you an upvote but I 100% disagree with you hahaha
I think a lot of people like that movie for the wrong reasons.
I am Jack's complete lack of satirical comprehension.
Why? Interested on hearing you out. It was interesting the first time I watched it.
Agreed - it's not a good adaptation of the book
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
How does that even work when you don't talk during a movie?
The problem with Birdemic is that it isn't even bad in a fun way.
It's true. Actually watched the whole thing.
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
Probably the live-action Cat in the Hat movie. It was horrible.
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.
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.
The room is one of those movies that is just so bad it’s good.
The ”Disaster Artist” is the culmination of that.
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.
I somehow sat through The Room, so I guess that.
I would really like to meet someone who unironically likes that movie though.
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 haven't even heard of this movie. I can't stand all these crappy low effort cash grabs.
OMG I forgot it was a thing. 😱🤦♂️
Probably Tiptoes. Gary Oldman plays a little person who is Matthew McConaugeys twin brother
Dragonball Evolution
The Super Mario movie is probably top of the list. The jokes fell flat and the entire movie was just Nintendo references. I get it's a kid movie, but damn, Pixar knows how to make a movie for all ages. I guess I was hoping for the same.
I couldn’t make past 20 minutes of Cats. It’s just so bad and weird it makes me uncomfortable watching it.
This would be higher if people actually saw it lol.
That being said, I have not either
A Serbian Film
Because it is actually bad or just because it is so tryhard edgy?
It's just torture-porn primarily featuring things like rape, pedophilia, etc. The most disgusting movie I've ever seen. Plot is contrived, and just serves as a vehicle to deliver the most disgusting scenes of sexual violence they could think of. Acting is OK I guess. It seems like a fairly high-budget movie.
Can't agree with you more. I actually commented this movie on another thread. Genuinely the most fucked up piece of utter garbage I've ever seen. Every single person who agreed to work on this film needs to be investigated.

Used to have a huge crush on Brendan Fraser back in the mid-late 90's. He made some funny movies back in the day this was not one of them.
It's a so bad it's good kinda movie but Blood Diner. It's an 80s horror flick me and a buddy found at blockbuster on vhs when we were younger. Shit was hilarious.
Yes! Sheetar! That movie was a trip. There were so many odd choices, like wtf was up with the guy who is 100% puppet always sitting at the diner. I actually really like that band in the caveman getups at the end though and tracked them down. It's a guy name Dino Lee and he bills him self as "the king of white trash". I could only find one or two videos of them performing live and one record i picked up on diacogs for like $3.
Lol I was hoping someone would chime in about that movie. Its pretty wild. I vividly remember the scene with the car bouncing up and down oj hydraulics smashed that guys head and me just laughing really hard at how ridiculous it looked.
Mr. Wrong starring Ellen Degeneres as a straight woman looking for the man of her dreams. Yeah. Fucking terrible.
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
Battlefield Earth.
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.
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.
All the way through? Gothica, starring Halle Berry. I was at a free screening and I still wanted my money back.
I can't remember the worst movie I've seen at home. I've seen so many lol. The worst theater movie had to be the one missed call remake. I watched the original Japanese film later and realized the missed important plot points that were vital to the story. Also it was neutered from a R rated Takashi Miike film to a boring pg-13 horror film. On the bright side it introduced me to Takashi Miike and I've been a fan ever since.
Jeepers creepers :Reborn 2022 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Premonition starring Sandra Bullock
I love terrible movies and have seen all sorts, but for my money the absolute worst I have seen is Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues. Absolutely nothing happens for the entire duration of the film until the last 5 minutes. The DVD I had claimed there was a "terrifying incident at the public lake", but it's just someone falling off a jetski and getting back on it.
On the other hand, it did make for one of my favourite MST3K episodes
I did not know it was an MST3K episode! Might have to dare "watching" this "movie" again for it

War of the Worlds, 2005, it's the only film so bad I was genuinely angry about it after I'd seen it. Not just a bad film it wasted my time.
Wow really? I remember enjoying it. What did you not like about it?
I remember the movie really ramping up towards unconventional things, and then ending in disappointingly conventional ways. “And then the son with whom they got separated to a near-certain death is alive after all, and they find each other and get reunited.”
Also, as has been discussed to death at the time, the absolute lack of build-up towards the resolution, which leaves it with a taste of “wait, so why exactly did I watch what happens to this bunch of randos?”
I have nothing against people who liked it, but the final act felt like such a let-down compared to the beginning and middle of it, that I can’t really remember it positively.
In fairness, the book was like that also. Not that the movie was much like the book in other ways.
The original book just sort of follows the protagonist along as he witnesses the Martians wreak havok on humanity until all the tripods die at the end.
It's a weird plot device to keep, considering they didn't keep much of the original story.
It's like they half made the film and then got bored with it so they just said something like "and then all the aliens went away the end" with no real explanation or conclusion. I don't remember what exactly happened because obviously I've never wanted to rewatch it but I remember it really was something that cheap. All the time invested in it felt like it had gone to waste because there was no proper conclusion.
Ah yep. It stuck to the source material.
::: spoiler spoiler
bacteria killed the aliens
:::
If that's your only issue with it, then perhaps worth a rewatch. I really enjoyed the destruction and chaos.
So, I've been complaining about this film for long enough that I've heard the source material argument before. I've not read the original book but just conclude that either A: the book really did end like the film, in which case it was never worthy of making a film about, or B: the book had a better, more nuanced ending which wasn't captured by the film. Either way it's a terrible film that wasted my time!
The original book by HG Wells had the aliens die off suddenly, defeated by Earth's bacteria and viruses. So the story has always had that plot of "and suddenly the bad guys all died!"
That's a bummer. It's one of my favorite movies. Granted I was a kid the first time I saw it
Mandy with Nicholas Cage takes the cake for me but it's so bad it's good. If I were going for just bad, it would probably have to be the last airbender movie...
Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal is up there for me too, because FUCK that movie.
I remember seeing Mandy in theaters with my college dorm mates, and I will never forget how bizarre that experience was. I was in the mood for something more serious, but I should have known they would select something like that
I think calling Mandy so bad it's good is a massive misread of what Mandy was trying to do. It's a funny, over-the-top movie at a lot of points, deliberately.
Idk man deliberately bad is still bad
Yeah, I'm just saying it's not bad, deliberately or otherwise. It's deliberately a lot of things that you're parsing as bad but work for, idk, certainly the vast majority of people who watched it, critics and audiences alike.
Nic Cage: "Mandy? I can do so much worse"
What's wrong with Enemy? It's honestly one of my favorite movies.
It's overly artsy fartsy for me. I didn't "get it" and when the metaphor was explained to me I was disappointed. The spiders made no sense to me initially, and when I learned what it was supposed to be, it felt like garbage nonsense from planet bullshit.
This is an unconventional answer but stick with me:
The Bruce Willis Death Wish remake.
Movies are well known to have a so-bad-it’s-good factor. Aside from watching something made with passion fail, sometimes a failing movie can be mildly elevated by having an interesting choice or concept. Maybe a single actor who is really giving a go and creates a memorable scene.
Death Wish has none of that. It is a flatline of a movie. Nothing is ever done with passion, nor is it ever entertainingly incompetently. The entire movie is nothing but bare minimum technical competence. There are no bizarre plot twists, no unique action, no nothing. It simply exists.
We wanted something to entertain the kids while we got everything set up for dinner, and we find this. The kids seemed to enjoy it, but they're not the most reliable movie critics.
This movie is really really awful. ALL of the actors and actresses are so bad, it's not even good ironically. Just awful.
I really don't mind B-Movies with a limited budget, as there are some out there, which are not bad. But this one in particular? The (badly made) rubber shark is a more convincing actor than any of the other protagonists of the movie. This movie is acted out so poorly that any movie you can watch on Sci-Fi are Hollywood quality in comparison. I dare you to watch the whole movie!
Oscar (1991)
My wife and I walked out on that one. I can't understand how it got a 6.5 on IMDB.
Rubber... I mean it's so bad it's good.
I used to have a crush on the Olsen twins and I made it through some unbearable films back in the early 2000s. I could tell "Getting There" and "When in Rome" were truly awful even though I was a wee teenager. Luckily they stopped making films shortly thereafter.
Copper Mountain starring Jim Carrey. Basically a promo music video for some country band with skiing "action sequences" and some not funny impersonations. I have it just to show others the worst movie in existence.
Justice League
Everything Everywhere All At Once.
This movie is so bad and overhyped.
Right? I really wanted to leave midway but my friends were there too. I'm a big fan of surrealist literature but that movie just couldn't do it for me.
Hands down, for the production money that went into it, The Hobbit trilogy.

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

The original book by HG Wells had the aliens die off suddenly, defeated by Earth's bacteria and viruses. So the story has always had that plot of "and suddenly the bad guys all died!"
That's a bummer. It's one of my favorite movies. Granted I was a kid the first time I saw it
Pixels
Mandy with Nicholas Cage takes the cake for me but it's so bad it's good. If I were going for just bad, it would probably have to be the last airbender movie...
Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal is up there for me too, because FUCK that movie.
I remember seeing Mandy in theaters with my college dorm mates, and I will never forget how bizarre that experience was. I was in the mood for something more serious, but I should have known they would select something like that
I think calling Mandy so bad it's good is a massive misread of what Mandy was trying to do. It's a funny, over-the-top movie at a lot of points, deliberately.
Idk man deliberately bad is still bad
Yeah, I'm just saying it's not bad, deliberately or otherwise. It's deliberately a lot of things that you're parsing as bad but work for, idk, certainly the vast majority of people who watched it, critics and audiences alike.
Nic Cage: "Mandy? I can do so much worse"
What's wrong with Enemy? It's honestly one of my favorite movies.
It's overly artsy fartsy for me. I didn't "get it" and when the metaphor was explained to me I was disappointed. The spiders made no sense to me initially, and when I learned what it was supposed to be, it felt like garbage nonsense from planet bullshit.
This is an unconventional answer but stick with me:
The Bruce Willis Death Wish remake.
Movies are well known to have a so-bad-it’s-good factor. Aside from watching something made with passion fail, sometimes a failing movie can be mildly elevated by having an interesting choice or concept. Maybe a single actor who is really giving a go and creates a memorable scene.
Death Wish has none of that. It is a flatline of a movie. Nothing is ever done with passion, nor is it ever entertainingly incompetently. The entire movie is nothing but bare minimum technical competence. There are no bizarre plot twists, no unique action, no nothing. It simply exists.

We wanted something to entertain the kids while we got everything set up for dinner, and we find this. The kids seemed to enjoy it, but they're not the most reliable movie critics.
The Snowman.

Tough question. But i think it's "in fabric". It's just weird stuff happening.
Virus Shark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-aTRpXAP8A) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13785940/)
This movie is really really awful. ALL of the actors and actresses are so bad, it's not even good ironically. Just awful. I really don't mind B-Movies with a limited budget, as there are some out there, which are not bad. But this one in particular? The (badly made) rubber shark is a more convincing actor than any of the other protagonists of the movie. This movie is acted out so poorly that any movie you can watch on Sci-Fi are Hollywood quality in comparison. I dare you to watch the whole movie!
Oscar (1991)
My wife and I walked out on that one. I can't understand how it got a 6.5 on IMDB.
Rubber... I mean it's so bad it's good.
I used to have a crush on the Olsen twins and I made it through some unbearable films back in the early 2000s. I could tell "Getting There" and "When in Rome" were truly awful even though I was a wee teenager. Luckily they stopped making films shortly thereafter.
Copper Mountain starring Jim Carrey. Basically a promo music video for some country band with skiing "action sequences" and some not funny impersonations. I have it just to show others the worst movie in existence.
Justice League
Everything Everywhere All At Once.
This movie is so bad and overhyped.
Right? I really wanted to leave midway but my friends were there too. I'm a big fan of surrealist literature but that movie just couldn't do it for me.
