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?

I've never understood the point of 'worst' lists. They're really unhelpful for anything, and it's much better to think about things you enjoyed than thing you didn't. Also, your 'worst' is just 'least liked'. It's most often just your taste, not that the movie itself is bad.

But if you insist, the only movie I ever left in the middle at a cinema was "Drowning by Numbers". And again, just not my thing. Apparently quite a few people enjoyed it.

For movie buffs and fans its usually interesting to see input of other people on what they disliked. While there are definitely biased negative reviews, there are as well such positive reviews. But well constructed review, either positive or negative, can give you a great insight of what you might have missed yourself.

I couldnt care more for someone who dumps a link and doesnt explain what he didnt like - thats obviously your taste and that ends the discussion there, but if someone actually points out what they didnt like - hell, maybe I overlooked it when I saw it or maybe I interpreted it differently

Still seems counter productive to me. I know that some people like it, I just don't get the point, unless you're deliberately out to see movies people consider bad. Or, more likely, you're looking to argue about the worth of a movie. Which I guess would be a thing for movie buffs.

Anyway, with a post like this you're hardly looking at reviews. It's just a list of titles.

Had to look up the name on imdb cos I only remembered it had time in the title.
In Time (2011)
It's awful, caught it on TV and watched it untill the end just to see if there was a point to it. The best I could figure out was that they probably wrote down a note reading "time is money, literally" and somehow got the greenlight for making it from a studio. The world building is abismal, the characters have no depth or personality, and the message is so on the nose and the ideas are barelly explored or explained. I honestly wonder if they even had a script before they started filming or just made it all up as they went.

Worst I've ever seen? Tough choice. But recently, Mandy (2018), or at least the first half of the movie.

yes, definitely. I thought it looked good from the trailer, but it was terrible. I watched it with 2 friends and we couldn't believe how bad it was.

Anything made by The Asylum :) My pick would be: "2012 Doomsday".

Postal.Showed to somebody that wanted to be a movie director because:"If they can find funding to create this you should be ok in your career".

I was under the impression that Uwe Boll self-funded a lot of his stuff, and made money from them due to a German tax loophole (similar to what happened in "The Producers")

If those are the worst movies you've seen, then man, you need to watch more movies! Well, I can't speak for "Adam and Eve vs the Cannibals", as that's a movie I'm not familiar with, but even if the movies mentioned in the original post might not be masterpieces, they're at least working movies, with some form of structure, not awful special effects, acting that's more than functional and so on.

Try watching something by The Asylum, like Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, Alien vs. Hunter and so on. That's a good start for bad movies. Or a terrible start, those movies are not even good for a "bad movie night" with friends. You can also throw in something like Star Wars Holiday Special, which Lucas himself have said that if he could, he would seek out every single copy of and destroy with a sledge hammer. It's embarrassing and annoying Even the famously awful movie "The Room" is in many ways better than the movies I mentioned (The Room is baffling in all its bad choices, but at least it's entertaining)

I like some of those movies by The Asylum. In particular the Sharknado movies. They were just a load of cheesy fun. And Z Nation, one of their tv shows, was one of my favorite guilty pleasures. WAY superior to the last few season of the Walking Dead.

I'm also a HUGE Lloyd Kaufman fan. Tromavision movies FOREVER!

The ones I can think of now, are Ready Player One and Dredd. Possibly because they were sold to me as "dystopian" movies while they are fully embracing a dystopia rather than being critical about it. I couldn't even finish Dredd.

I agree on Avatar. And Ghostbusters 2016, which I didn't bother to watch. Your 2 others I don't know at all.

Ghost Rider 2 is at least entertaining. i find it hard to believe someone actually enjoyed the movie from (2007), but there's definitely an audience that can appreciate the sequel for what it is, trash.

yeah, it's quite the spectacle. though there's an over reliance on cgi for the flames and all the debris, while the more detailed aspects are absent. Mainly, it never actually shows it cuting anyone in half, well...more like obliterate since its like a Bucket-wheel excavator

On the other hand, watching movies like Fifty Shades of Grey, you're kinda asking for it :P

While Avatar is obviously terribly overrated, I definitely wouldn't call the worst movie I've seen: it's a well-crafted amusement ride, nothing more, nothing less. I'd place it somewhere with Marvel hits.

I tend to be picky nowadays, but yeah, I've watched my share of trash in my youth (like American Pie, Scary Movie or whatever was popular among kids in the late 90's - early 2000's). As for the last few years though, the absolutely worst one was probably Assassin's Creed (a brilliant example of a movie that can't be saved even by a high concentration of truly gifted actors).

It's taking itself waaaay too seriously to be an amusement ride though.

I was quite impressed with the circular polarised 3D technology introduced with Avatar and thought the 3D effects were well implemented there. I thought the story was nothing to write home about, being pretty formulaic, and I don't know what were they thinking when they named the ore Unobtanium, but I still enjoyed the experience overall. It's not something I'd want to watch again but I thought it was much better than movies like Independence Day (an alien ship had a flight control system able to be intuitively piloted by a human, and an operating system and i/o port compatible with contemporary American systems - was it running Windows 95?) and John Wick (nice cinematography and costume design but poor acting, childish or absent writing and disappointing fight choreography, plus the car advertising/product placement was a bit too blatant).
Edit: I think I found an old interview with the screenwriter for John Wick:

Considering that even the original movies at first where written so horribly that Carrey stepped in with his own jokes and writing to save them, I dont see what they thought would happen if they tried to write a sequel without Carrey
