I feel bad now because I really liked half of the movies people are listing. But for my choice I would have to choose One Night With The King, at first it's so bad it's funny, then it get's to the point of wanting to gauge my eyes out just so I don't have to see the horror of what was on the screen. That is the last time I ever see movie recommended by the person who told me it was good.
I agree. I would have thought that anyone with any ounce of common sense would have at least edited out some of their over the top dialogue. At least that way, it would have been somewhat ambiguous as to whether or not they were meant to be stereotypical black people or stereotypical rednecks.Angerwing said:
Wow, too many to list.
Transformers 1&2
Burn After Reading
Star Trek
Madagascar 3
Pineapple Express
Oh, it doesn't matter, EVERY film recently has been shit, except for Defiance (because war films are awesome) and Get Smart (because it wasn't QUITE as shit as I thought it'd be)...
Burn After Reading really takes the biscuit, because it's so up its own arse and everyone else seems to absolutely love it, yelling "Ooo, the Coen Brothers are so original and funny, they're complete geniuses because they're comedy is awkward and sticky etc".
MAN I fucking hate the Coen Brothers, and of course Micheal Bay, and whichever frat-boy retard who directed Star Trek, a film so full of cliches it might even be more corny than Navy Seals 2 (GAH!)

I just think movies have changed - they are very good the first time you see them - but the lack substance and after a little thought you realise they were crap.UtopiaV1 said:
I watch many classic films and discuss them regularly about how great they are. Too much is achievable with CGI and less effort is put into continuality and storytelling mediums.
All in all - people talking about stuff happening and let the user imagine it is always better than having someone show them. If you ever saw the last great time war in dr who - it would be much less impressive than it sounds
Babysitter Wanted. It just didn't satisfy me in any way, and the plot was completely predictable; I could see the twists coming from a mile away. There were a couple of good horror moments, but really nothing earth-shattering.
What was bad about it? I'm thinking about watching it even though the book wasn't that great.coxafloppin said:
Jumper. For a movie about a regular kid with teleportation powers, (my favorite power) I found myself uninterested in it by the time Samuel L. Jackson came with his religious gang. Don't even get me started on the crap involving his "lost" mother, that was so obvious.
X-men Origins: Wolverine. I couldn't help thinking this was just a piece of confused fanfiction. Of course the story line was horrible, but the part got pissed me off more than anything was the part where Wolverine, popped out his newly adamantium claws in front of a bathroom mirror and they were about a foot longer than I've ever seen them, and very clearly made of poor CGI, and they made these exaggerated "sword sparks" whenever they touched each other, no matter how hard they came into contact with each other, as if I couldn't come to the conclusion that, "These claws are sharp" by myself.
Should I even mention Hannibal Lector/Deadpool?

Shrek 3. I try to deny it's existence.
Also the ending to I Am Legend, the alternative one was infinitely better.

I loved and hated Transformers 2. I pretty much only went to see it because of the CGI, if the movie had been just clips of them transforming and fighting, I'd have been satisfied. Honest. Oh, and Megan Fox, 'cause she's hot...but the acting, the dialogue and the plot, none of it was very good or made a lot of sense. There were also tons of dick jokes, which would have been fine if any of them were actually funny.
Nobody's mentioned Indy 4 yet? For shame.
I would have said Eragon, on account of it being the worst movie I have ever seen, but it's more than two years old. As such, Indy 4 takes the crown for utterly ruining one of the greatest film trilogies of all time. The first three were brilliant (yes, even Temple of Doom), but then the fourth one... my God, it was horrible! Why aliens, George? WHY?!

All films like that are boring. They always go down the same way. Idiot is an idiot, idiot likes hot girl, idiot saves the day by being an idiot, hot girl starts to see "the real idiot" and falls in love.Flying-Emu said:
OT: Twilight. I thought it was mediocre at best. I suppose I wouldn't despise it so much if it wouldn't have been so highly praised.
See no Evil.
I saw that at the beginning of this year with a few friends (who chose the movies).
Horrible.
It was cliched in its entirety.
Lets see the list
- Abandoned hotel (location) - Check
-Group of teenage cliches, all of which are unlikable -check
-Invincible psychopath -Check
-Teens get killed off in Ironic and different ways - check
- Main character lives till the end - Not check (wait what?!?!)
-Plot -Check (barely until the main character died, then it just died with him)
- Acting/cinimatography/directing- crap.
-Oh and the Wrestler Kane was the psychopath -Good if you like him, shit if not.

The main character is a copper who's partner was killed by the same psychopath who is picking off all the kids, he lost his arm to the guy the first time round, and when the kids are starting to get picked off as well as his new partner, he has to stop him and rally the teens to kill the guy. Too bad got like one line of dialogue then got a hook the mouth. This was hardly even 30 mins in.
