Horrible, Awful movies that don't deserve their own threads.

[Merusk]

Good God.  Dragon Wars is on Sci-Fi now.  I don't even know where to begin on this piece of shit.  I'm all about enjoying bad or B-movies, but fuck me I can't even do that with this one.  A civilian helicopter that a 200' snake can't just fling to the ground?   Military copters firing into unevacuated city buildings? Evil forces that have sword & board troops (Because they're ancient you know..) but also employ missile-firing dinosaurs.

Horrible, Awful movies that don't deserve their own threads.  Sci-Fi Originals.

Rules.

[stray]

Revolver, Domino, and Smokin' Aces


In a way, they're all the same crappy, non-sensical crime movie.


I mention them because they have that special quality about them... the type of bad, horrible movie that isn't obviously bad (like Manos Hands of Fate or some shit), but have a sort of "hipness" about them, or a good cast that might make people watch them at first. The type of bad movie that points out which one of your friends is pathetically trendy and a big film idiot (and possibly, an idiot in general), if you catch them saying that they actually liked it.

[Sir T]

I saw the title and I thought of Robocop 2..

[stray]

Dude Robocop 2 is badass. Mostly because of that kid. One of the more evil kids of cinema, I tell you (next to Damien and the paperboy from Better Off Dead).

[apocrypha]

War of the Worlds. The Tom Cruise one. Christ that was an insult to the intelligence of humanity.

[Triforcer]

A.I.  Its the only movie in my entire life I've actually walked out on. 

[climbjtree]

The Happening.

[Paelos]

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

[Jeff Kelly]

With A.I. you can clearly see when Spielberg took over. The movie was great up to the scene were he kept standing in front of the fairy at Coney Island. I always thought that Kubrick's movie would've ended right there.

Spielberg had to do something with space aliens that give the robot his mom back though. That ruined the whole film.

Sure you're not thinking 3 there? I don't remember a kid in 2 and could never get myself to watch 3.

My vote: SS Doomtrooper (another sci-fi original. I swear there's almost no reason to watch that network at all).

[NiX]

Why isn't the spicegirls movie on that list?

[Kail]

Dungeons and Dragons.

[Phildo]

Why isn't the spicegirls movie on that list?

Because Meatloaf's cameo in that movie is worth removing it from the list by a teeny tiny bit.

[Sir T]

I think he means the Crime Lord kid.

[Venkman]

Hrm, I completely blocked that from my memory. He played the bad guys friend or some such? The bad guy being the one they eventually stuff into Iron Monger or whatever they called that thing?

[IainC]

I take it we're ignoring obvious entries like Armageddon or Independence Day?

I think possibly the worst film I can remember is probably Krull. So many staggeringly poor moments in that film.

[Abagadro]

I think possibly the worst film I can remember is probably Krull. So many staggeringly poor moments in that film.

Good video game though.

Oh wait, no I've just remembered. Hawk the Slayer was worse. Much worse.

No the kid took over the mob after the crime lord got stuffed into Magna Gianttoaster

(The actual name of it was "Robocop 2". Can you believe that *sob*)

Back on topic

The Blair Witch Project. Any film that forces the cinema to give back half the admission price due to an audience revolt has talent.

The Fandom Penance. You felt something, as though a million nerds dreams cried out, and were suddenly wrenched into a state of deep denial...

[Jeff Kelly]

The Blair Witch Project was OK. Just another example of what happens if you let a women get in charge of things 

[Signe]

Battlefield Earth was awful.  Howard the Duck.  Gigli. (well, the sound gigli is okay)  Recently Showgirls came on after a film I watched and I was too lazy to go for the clicker but luckily I fell asleep.  Resident Evil: Apocalypse.   The Blue Lagoon.  The 13 Ghosts remake.  God, I could go on and on and on.  The only good thing is that my phobia of theatres saves me from spending any money on these shitty films.

Also, I will kick Jeff Kelly's ass!

I can't believe you hate not only independence day which had enough cool explosions to give it a pass but also Krull, one of my favorite childhood movies as well. Your sense of suck is seriously warped.

Neither of those comes close to a movie like "Children shouldn't play with dead things," which is probably the worst movie I have ever sat through.

[Slayerik]

Independence Day had some of the worst acting I've ever seen. It would have fit in a parody.

Anyway, I still wouldn't put it in the worst movies ever...but pretty fuckin bad.

[schild]

Juno.

[Chimpy]

Fear (Reese Witherspoon and Marky Mark)
Battlefield Earth

[Merusk]

I've heard that several of the actors in ID thought they WERE making a comedy/ parody and were shocked at what was up on the screen.

[Margalis]

Krull? Krull is awesome.

[FatuousTwat]

Ultraviolet. The only movie I have ever thought about walking out on. Fills me with RAGE just thinking about it.

[Amarr HM]

Any film where they randomly burst out into song to express their emotions usually gets a no vote from me. Oh and I agree with Bhodii there's some ok or good films being mentioned there, Juno and War of the worlds no way you could rate them as horrible. Police Academy 4++ now they were shite.

[Paelos]

Jersey Girl.

Also, Maid in America. Hell, anything with Jennifer Lopez is going to suck.

[Grand Design]

Battlefield Earth.  There is no comparison. 

Man of the Year.  Sublimely bad.

Anything by M. Knight Shamalamadingdong. 


(And I object to putting AI on a 'Horrible, Awful Movies' list.  I agree with the complaints, but its not a bad movie by a long stretch.)

[Amarr HM]

I agree with the complaints, but its not a bad movie by a long stretch.

Films like AI suffer from antihype, get built up so much and then people are like wtf but yeh no way an awful film, I think people get pissed off when their expectations are built up and the name Kubrick always carries a weight of expectation.
