What’s the worst film you’ve seen recently?

[swee'pea99]

Arrival. The reviewers who thought this was a complex and meaningful movie need either to get out more or stay indoors and read some decent sci-fi.

Apologies for slight spoiler but the world's leading linguist makes a communications breakthrough by taking off her spacesuit helmet and pointing at herself. It just gets worse from then on.

Good call. It was indeed a turkey fit for Christmas. Tho' not quite as bad as Inception, unquestionably 'the worst film I’ve seen recently'. The kind of overblown fatuous twaddle drug-addled west coast American Tommy Hilfigger-wearing numbskulls purport to 'get' in an attempt to broadcast their immense capacity to appreciate profundity.

No it doesn’t.

For me it was American Warships with Mario Van Peebles (Captain and Carl Weathers.

I didn’t think they made films this bad these days but this one is a turkey of truly gargantuan proportions. It’s not helped by Van Peebles who isn’t a great actor, in fact I’ve seen less wooden portrayals in Pinocchio. Carl Weathers is quite good but struggles with a terrible script. The plot revolves around a US fighter plane being attacked by North Korea, or so the military think but in fact aliens are responsible. The special effects are laughable and would disgrace a fifties sci fi movie.

What’s the worst one for you?

A while ago, but I didn't like Inception. Didn't get the plot at all. *Dons hardhat*

Not a new film but had the singular misfortune to start watching The Royal Tenenbaums recently.
Do yourself a favour and if you ever see it advertised give it a very wide birth indeed.
Absolute cack!!!!!

...
Mark Wahlberg hopes that God will forgive him for Boogie Nights but he definitely won't be so lucky for The Happening.

The only good bit of that film was when they recorded a rock album... I'm still waiting for the director cut, which should be no more than three minutes long.

YES!

After The Life Aquatic... i decided that all of Wes Anderson's films were worth watching... sadly, they're not

Interstellar?
The Hobbit?
And I can't believe anyone has watched Plan 9 recently.

You guys and gals don't know your bad movies.

Mega shark vs Mecha shark

It's a royal flush to your pair of twos in this poker game.

Nude Nuns with Big Guns

My all time worst film was Lion Man from the late 70s which I once hired out from the local video shop but this is a close second.

I never bothered with it, but I did read a review that said, "I could make a better film than that by strapping a Box Brownie to my dog."

There not wrong

What about Sharknado?

What about Sharknado?

yeah but... they're trying to be bad so don't really count.

 

[Beebo]

Any of the three Hobbit films. I liked the Lord of the Rings ones, and was hoping that they weren't as bad as I had heard. At least they were on the telly and didn't cost me anything.

Greedy film studio meant they took a very thin book and spread it very thinly over 3 films.

Off Piste. Gave up after half hour or was that 20 mins

 

[Vantage]

Oblivion. Starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. My god it was booooooooooooooring!

Sharknado has some, base, entertainment value.
