worst movie made in recent times & why!

Not one's mentioned this and that includes me..Interview With A Vampire. The title alone ranks as one of the lamest but the whole concept is feeble. Of course the abysmallly infantile source material is ultimately to blame and so is whoever thought it was a good idea to adapt this steaming pile of c@ck for the big screen.
The Green Berets - of course this B movie is infamous for it's gung-ho ism, and this leads me onto every film depicting the USA as saviour of the free world/planet whether based on real events like Saving Private Ryan or sci fi like Independence Day. It's less to do with the production values, acting etc than the fact that the US portrayed like the 7th cavalry coming to the 11th hour rescue of the rest of the world who are ever so grateful to the fabulous US of A

I was forced to watch bride wars with my girlfriend, it was hard to stay awake through such utter s**t. Not funny in the slightest and plotwise laughable, i suppose being a woman would help to enjoy it. I can watch chick flicks but that was something else!!!!!

EHHHH??????? Interview with a vampire is ok, not one of the best but watchable with plenty of angst and moral dilemma. What do you expect from a vampire movie lol!!!!

Lost in Translation. Tried to watch it twice and fell asleep both times. I thought it was totally boring.

there will be blood aka in the name of the oil field

Hollow man..... The acting is horrendous. The "horror" is unintentionally funny. Kevin Bacon sucks sooooo hard. It's been shown 1000 times on the tele where I live

YES - 'they' DO! - but - if one becomes pre-occupied with this rather pointless process of identifying ALL the WORST movies, it's easy to lose sight of the (relatively few) best!

I never cease to be amazed by Hollywood - over DECADES it has churned out utter garbage, often theatre-filling (!), by the cartload - never more so than now, as all these lists of 'worsts' attest - BUT - BUT - BUT - look at what it can also DO ..........

A few, chosen as they 'fall off the top of my head' & mostly recent (just easier to remember at my age!) - Charlie Wilson's War, Babel, Syriana, Goodnight & Good luck, Harry/Sally (of course), et seq., - dozens more over those same decades - subtle, hilarious, gripping, 're-watchable' again & again - the CONTRAST with the rubbish is mind blowing - HOW is it possible?

I will never understand how both can emerge from essentially the same studio groups - all I can really think is - thank heaven they STILL DO, & long may it continue (although it is sometimes easy to imagine that global, 'bums on seats' dross could take over the world!?)

i have an amazingly long list :] moulin rouge, i just dont get the singing, the same with mamma mia and high school musical. stardust was pretty c**p, i actually fell asleep in the cinema. ummmm... indi jones was pretty bad, it was like they had copied and pasted bits out of other films and given it another name. but i think mamma mia was the worst, all my friends actually got up and sang half way thorugh and i thought i was gonna die

A lot of people seemed to be complaining about films just because they don't like them. If a film delivers exactly what it promises it isn't crap just because it isn't to your taste. A musical will include people singing, an Adam Sandler film will be infantile comedy. The further down the list of sequels you go the more of a shoddy imitation or parody of the early films they become. Why do these basic facts surprise people?

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Absolute nonsense. No coherent story, far too overlong and therefore ultimately boring 'action' scenes and some not very funny humour. The worst experience I've had at the cinema, this really was a cash in of the highest order.

Ocean's 12 - Absolute nonsense. No coherent story, lots of 'in' jokes... some not very funny humour. Appalling. The 2nd worst experience I've had at the cinema, this really was a cash in of the highest order.

Bonfire of the Vanities; Glengarry, Glenross; Truly, Madly, Deeply; Ordinary People; anything with William Hurt; Dead Poets Society; Good Morning Vietnam; The Haunting (Liam Neeson one); Star Trek the Motion Picture; Citizen Kane (boring, arty-farty and utter rubbish); Pearl Harbour (could somebody tell wiggy-boy Ben Affleck that he can't act?); Exorcist II; Vampires (the Carpenter loud music made me queazy); 30 Days of Night (night rhymes with s****); Ocean's 11 right through to Ocean's 27; Godfather III (was Coppolla asleep during the making of this?); Oh I could go on and on. The fact is, for every good film there are probably a thousand crap ones.

My personal favourites (not!) are Braveheart and Rain Man. Sorry chaps, just not my cup of tea.

10000 bc! That was crap. Emmerich always copies scenes and themes from other great and good movies. He copies other directors. And the cgi are awfull. In Godzilla it allways rains to hide the bad SFEX.

This was an awful film. And as for the skull!!

I don't do blockbusters anymore - they're mostly hype and generally rubbish. Save for a few children's films oddly. But this last Indy film smacks of cashing-in and jumping on a very lucrative bandwagon. Shame on the lot of them. The only high point for me was John Hurt's acting.

Bloodrayne ! Absolute crap. bad acting, bad script , bad everything. I saw it a long while ago but cannot forget how bad it was.

Hmmm missing the point, it about a robot that discovers the human concept of love, basically a futuristic version of Pinochiccio, and just because it shows a vision of the future that is dark, and to us impossible, doesn't mean that something similar may not happen. Im pretty sure that the concept of robots, flying machines etc was just as impossible for someone to visualise 300 years ago, have an open mind.

Spelt should be spelt correctly

Went to see Be Kind Rewind - that's an hour and a half of my life I'm never going to get back. What was the point Jack Black!? Also The Happening was the most awful thing I have ever seen in my life. Someone told me it was supposed to be 'thought-provoking' but I think they may have lied.

Seen some really bad movies, but i nominate " ISLAND".
It was like watching one long commercial break !
Rog.

"i am legend" what a waste of my life that was. Read the excellent book instead of the same name by Richard Matheson

Alien Vs Predator 2 will always rank as one of the worst films ever in my opinion, especially considering how great the opportunity was. In fact, it's just rank...

Yeah there's a good 2 hours of my life I'll never see again, never understood the hype about the book saw the documentary which only served to muddy the waters even more with psuedo science and religous mumbo Jumbo, but the real stinking pile was the movie my god has there ever been a more self absorbed piece detritus put on the screen ?
Cole

Hancock ! What a load of rubbish. That is all ! wasted enough time on it already.

all those michael bay so called re imagining of classic horror movies,texas chainsaw massacre,friday 13th and next up to dig up and bury a nightmare on elm street,without robert englund,pathetic.
best movies ive seen recently gran torino
the wrestler
and bolt

Indy Was Bad And It Just Reeked As A Pilot/Dry Run for An Indiana Jones Jr Film Series Of His Son's Adventures.
It's Predictable And Seeing The Son Swing Through The Trees Like Tarzan?
The Last Bond Film (QOS), It Wasn't Like The Rest In That M Is Only Ever Seen In Her Office, But She's Seen Here On Site. What MI6 Boss Ever Left Their Office? It Was Not Bond Like, In That You Could redub And Give Him any Name And There Would Be No Difference.
