In the past I watched a lot of bad movies (that's why I was too many years without watching movies).
Some of them are (plus a couple of movies from the last years)...
-The Wailer.
-40 Days and 40 Nights.
-BLOOD-C The Last Dark (really bad anime movie).
-Pluto.
-Boogeyman.
-Bumblebee.
-Hatchet II (the first one was bad enough, but at least it had some funny moments).
-The Human Centipede (I like bizarre stuff, but this is just lame).
-V/H/S: Viral (The previous two movies weren't good, but this was just awful).
-Lupin III vs. Detective Conan (another bad anime movie).
-Yami no Teio: Kyuuketsuki Dracula (An old and really bad japanese animated movie about Dracula).
-The Second Pacific Rim (It isn't called like that, but I don't care, it was just too awful to remember the name).
There should have been a lot more (the ones I watched while I was a child), but that's was the only one I could remember now. There is a whole bunch of some other really bad movies I met in these years, but I think these were the worst of them.
PS: I usually avoid all the Hollywood popular stuff, otherwise this list should have been full of them.

Way too many to list... This year, that movie was probably Glass...
...with Hellboy being a close second.
Worst movie ever would be a lot more difficult to pin point. Quality is one thing, but directorial intention is also quite a big factor.

Donnie Darko.
And yes, I understood it, that was not the problem. It's just one of those love it/hate it kind of things.
Also, when I first watched Napoleon Dynamite (rented it with some friends, back in the day when Blockbuster was a thing), I said to myself "this has to be the worst movie I've ever seen". Then, two weeks later, I just catched it on TV and watched it again just to make sure it was awful, and it was. Some time later, I was talking with (who then was) my girlfriend about bad movies; when I told her about Napoleon Dynamite and showed her the trailer, we decided to give it a go. That time, the third time I watched the movie I always said was the worst I've ever seen, it really clicked on me. Now I love it, even when I know it's awkward and boring.

I saw so many bad-good and good-bad indie movies back when they were the thing. I saw one called The Item where some friends make a bunch of money watching a case for a night but they arent supposed to open it, turns out there's an alien inside that has some psychic power that makes them are kill themselves, then the roommate comes home and has sex with the alien. Another one called Blood Gnome about a gnome that feeds on kinky sex.
Now Netflix has a monopoly on those to not so secretly get free advertising from people live tweeting or doing youtube videos about how bad they are.

It used to be Steven Spielberg's A.I., but then, I saw Pi. Pi was atrocious.

I like AI too. I believe that it tends to be misunderstood and that it's really a very complex movie. Always give me lots to think about.

A.I. is the only movie I've ever walked out of, later than I should have
I don't know why it took until Noah for people to realize Aronofski kinda sucks. Like I am the first to admit I was in to Pi for way too long, and I haven't seen the Wrestler, but after The Fountain and rewatching Pi and Requiem for a Dream I realized they were just pretentious. Then people fell over themselves to give Black Swan awards in the cinematic equivalent of "I read it for the articles" sure pal, and the scene with Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman was just there to sell ads.

Movie 43. They got all these big name actors somehow, I think through contract trickery, and they had them star in the least funny sketch comedy movie ever created. It was atrocious. Not even so bad its good, just plain bad.

I rate movies/TV shows based on my personal enjoyment. So a lot of stuff will play a role, but it wouldn't be surprising to see me give Black Panther a 5, even though in reality the movie's around a 2 or a 3 based on its terrible CGI, a terrible story, the worst writing in the MCU so far and so on. 5 is average and anything above or below signifies how much I enjoyed or didn't enjoy it.
The only movie at a 1 is the Emoji Movie. It's not because of the negative press, but mainly due to how boring the whole thing was. Same reason why Sausage Party's so low on my list.
But at a 2, I have multiple films:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
Ocean's Twelve
The fanmade Voldemort movie (Link to the free movie)
Hausu/House
Primer
We, the Marines
Game Over, Man!
Assassin's Creed
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
La montana sagrada/The Holy Mountain
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Way more at a 3 and up though since 1s and 2s take up less than 3% of my entire ratings.
Comment has been collapsed.
In regards to Black Panther, after rewatching while I still like it and disagree that it's the worst writing so far, it's definitely a middle of the road MCU movie. The fact that the worst CGI happens in the climactic battle between the title character and the main villain, someone should have gotten fired. I still think Thor: The Dark World is practically unwatchable, but that may be more to do with the fact that nobody except Tom Hiddleston knew what movie they were making

Ooh definitely have to give the Voldemort movie a watch now, appreciate the links! Won't go in with too high of expectations, but I love Harry Potter so that in itself makes it worth a shot. :D I also rediscovered Severus Snape and the Marauders thanks to you, which I'd added to my watch later a few years ago but completely forgot.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was mainly the terrible acting and the awful script. Visually it's pretty decent, The cinematography's serviceable and the CGI is reasonable for the budget and the fact that they literally were contacted by WB to not have ads on their video or make any money from it.

Oh my God. Thank you so much for mentioning that Voldemort movie. I forgot about it completely, but I watched it a while back because apparently it was 'good' and I loved every bit of The Room-esque dialogue.
It's a masterpiece of a mistake.

It's a long list. But to name a few...
I would say that some of the worst movies to me are those that had big budgets, great actors and usually capable directors but failed miserably.
So...
- Alexander.
- Waterworld.
- King Kong (2005)
- Any M. Night Shyamalan's film besides The Sixth Sense and maybe Signs.
- Star Wars The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah Shyamalan is a sure no go for me since The Village. What a waste of film and good acting that was.
Even Sixth Sense really isn't that good once you're past the (first) twist but the performances and human aspect of the story keeps it above the rest. That guy thinks he's Hitchcock. Think again, pal.

I will only name movies I found absolutely horrible and impossible to watch until the end but were very popular for reasons I will never understand.
Transformers
Wild Wild West
Fast and Furious
Scary Movie

I hated all of these, or thought the trailers looked so bad that I didn't watch them :)

My most recent disappointment is Captain Marvel. I love the character and was so excited but I feel like they ignored basic rules for making movies multiple times. At times in doesn't trust the audience to make the connections and at other times it treats the audience like idiots who won't notice that suddenly Carol's suit gives her abilities that were never mentioned and she would have had no reason to know she could do. I don't know that it is the worst MCU movie, but it definitely doesn't do the character justice. It didn't help that I watched Into the Spiderverse right before it, a movie that is not only possibly the best Marvel movie, but possibly one of the best movies that came out in the past twelve months.

Heh I must be an idiot then because I don't know what you're talking about.
Comment has been collapsed.
One example is Carol is able to decloak a ship she didn't know existed with technology in her suit she didn't know the suit had. It's such an easily fixable problem, and maybe there is a scene in the script that didn't get filmed or wasn't put in the deleted scenes, but with the exception of Avengers movies, MCU movies don't typically have those kinds of oversights, at least not with such a significant plot point. Personally I would have rather seen it justified as the ship/lab just thought it was Lawson because Carol had the same energy as the ship whose engine infused her instead of her suit given to her by the Kree being able to easily find and decloak a lab built to be hidden from the Kree.
Just the general lack of care in the entire movie made it feel like they were just trying to get Carol to the Avengers, instead of giving her a proper introduction like all the other Avengers got (Hawkeye included! JK, only kinda though). They had it take place in the 90s but only manage to do the car/train chase sequence in a 90s style, but then want to have a 90s style music drop in a solidly 2010 style fight sequence at the end.
A lot of these a gripes and nitpicks but again, I was most disappointed by it and definitely found highlights (like that chase sequence). and again especially when viewed so closely to a movie with a lot of care and focus.

Well, it's a Kree ship and her suit is a Kree combat suit so it's not really weird that she just thinks "hey maybe the ship is cloaked or something" and decloaks it using her suit.
instead of her suit given to her by the Kree being able to easily find and decloak a lab built to be hidden from the Kree.
It's a big space though so it's not as if they were just going to run into it. I can't imagine the Kree combing several galaxies while clicking the decloak button just to see if the ship is hidden in those specific hundreds of meters.
Just the general lack of care in the entire movie made it feel like they were just trying to get Carol to the Avengers, instead of giving her a proper introduction
I also wish she hadn't been connected (and utterly wasted in Endgame) to the Avengers at all until a later incarnation. I think there was some awkwardness that they could have avoided entirely by skipping any connection at all to the Avengers world, Fury excluded.
I hope the sequel does a better job of it but I actually liked the character in the movie and felt she was much like the Carol Danvers I've known for a few decades so I think I was ready to overlook that other aspect. I do think they need to put their heads together and come up with a proper explanation for how the hell she was not involved for 20 years in events that occurred in the MCU but that's another story.

Sky Captain World of Tomorrow is the only film I ever walked out of the cinema whilst watching.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know that Space Jam did it first, but Sky Captain basically proved that an entire blockbuster movie, not a kids movie, could be made on a single sound stage with only green screen. I'm not praising it for that btw, the same problems it had pretty much every blockbuster made nowadays has, poor staging and uneven acting.

Interesting how people list movies like Avatar or Deadpool. Movies that you might dislike, sure. But they are at least competent. I personally don't like Avatar that much. I think it's rather boring and the story and setting are way too simple. There have been way better going native movies. But is it the worst movie ever? Not even close. I'd still have to give it like a 5/10.
I had to think of Conspiracy with Val Kilmer. Horrible B-movie with Kilmer's worst performance by far. And he was a really good actor once.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know, if someone's worst movie is Avatar, that person clearly hasn't seen many movies.
Avatar at least had a narrative structure and cohesive vision, not to mention good lookng vfx (for the time) and a message that while overused and predictable is at least inoffensive. I am not sure most of what I described here could be attributed to the latest Fantastic Four movie for example. Or to Battlefield Earth a scientology propaganda film, that even fails as a movie since its narrative is nonsensical.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah everything people don't like is "the worst thing" and everything people like is "the best thing" now. It's just a cultural thing.
I didn't like Avatar either but I'm pretty sure it's not the worst movie I've ever seen. I was bored to sleep and I lost IQ points just watching it but it wasn't the worst movie. Overrated, certainly, and dumb, yes, but worst? I've seen the Point Break remake soooo... there's always that to top it.

I still don't buy it, sorry. I think people are exaggerating a lot here. I am pretty sure most people saw worse movies. Maybe this is more about disappointment rather than actual quality. ;)

The more money and effort put into trash the more it's hateable. It's basically a tribute to greed (of movie makers) and simplicity.

Taxi 3 and 4. District 9. Torque. Gothica. Any Final Destination, Saw, American Pie, or Scary Movie.
This is what I can think of as memorably painful.
On the other hand, I like Catwoman, Pluto Nash, and the Adventures of Ford Fairlane.

DISTRICT 9? HOW?
And the first SAW was a pretty good genre movie.
Comment has been collapsed.
After the first ten minutes of District 9, I told the guys to pause the movie and I told them the upcoming plot points. I managed to hit every single one of them except one: the protagonist did not kill himself near the end.
It is a walking cliché. It has zero original thoughts beyond painting the same old beaten to death story with some bug aliens. It is also as subtle as punching someone in the face. If the entire movie was 90 minutes of a giant flashing neon sign of "APARTHEID WAS BAD, MMKAY?!", it would have been more subtle and had more substance than District 9 as it is. Similarly to Elysium's "the super rich don't care about poor people!!!!1!!!one!!!" slogan. No shit, Sherlock, thanks for telling us. Will the next film be about how the sky is blue and water is wet?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ooooooh finally someone who doesn't think District 9 is a masterpiece just because it's scifi on an indie budget!
Yeah I guess I read too many scifi books to be stunned by the simplistic storyline. And don't get me going about the acting.

District 9 was pure garbage. Felt like a generic sci-fi movie that Scy-Fi used to show on Saturday nights.
And I used to LOVE a lot of those movies.

I'm really not sure, haven't really seen many movies, especially ones that I feel I would be disappointed by.
The objectively worst I've seen was Zoombies but I liked it, it was ridiculously bad, almost unbelievable. It really doesn't help that I adore B-C category movies, or if I can find a redeeming factor then I don't mind to watch otherwise bad movies.
But... Shyamalan's The Happening is something that repeatedly comes up for me as maybe the worst movie I've seen. Kinda good concept, very-very bad actors, shitty plot twist, and just being an indecisive mess overall. I can tolerate bad pretty well, but long boring mediocrity is worse than that.
I lost it when they tried to make a windblown field of wheat scary, and the actor's eyes were desperately looking for anything to lock on so it's the most confusing "scary" scene for everyone involved, actor and viewer

Rec 2 was a huge disappointment to me, first part I enjoyed, but the second one completely butchered the atmosphere and story with moronic plot and story writing. I have loved a lot of sub 6 rating horror movies that have been mentioned in this topic, but this one regardless of its rating - I couldnt stand
Us was another horror movie I anticipated but left disappointed with. Dont get me wrong - for once horror movie had great cast and story that wasnt 100% cliche. But the delivery was flawed. Whole movie builds up a suspense, mistery and fear. It all gets butchered in the end in about 5 minutes. The twist in the end is thrown in there for the sake of having a twist. It adds NOTHING to the story and the movie wouldnt have changed if it wasnt there. Also - like a lot of hollywood flicks these days it was ridden with dumb ass one liners that only where there to get attention of people not to lose concentration. The dad was a walking cliche. I do want to see what Jordan Peele comes up next and I hope it will be great - but this was rather bad generally. I definitely wont be watching it second time.
These are two that came to mind for now

Wait "Avatar (the James Cameron one)" is in your WORST movies list? it's not a great movie but there's a lot more of very bad movies like this Avatar movie wich is one of the worst movie ever : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0938283/
Comment has been collapsed.
So it's that time once again. And since I'm in a different mood I figured I ask what are some of the WORST movies you have ever seen. We always see the best of topics so now I'm asking the worst of.
For me it has to be-
Ghostbusters 2016
Avatar (the James Cameron one)
Ghosts of Mars
Adam and Eve vs the Cannibals
All I can think of at the moment. What are yours?
