I heard it was written and directed by dummies. ;)
Both are horrible films that destroy the mythology of everything that came before them in the name of woke feminism.
Are we talking the ironically bad films, such as the Syfy Channel guff, or the genuine big budget efforts that ended up being turkey's?
I will go with the latter. Two spring to mind. Batman and Robin, also Alien Covenant..
Yes Exorcist 2 is hilariously awful. It’s got tapdancing. It’s got James Earl Jones dressed up in a giant locust outfit. And it’s got Richard Burton trying to put out a fire by hitting it with a crutch.
I have seen worse films though. The two films at the absolute bottom of the pile for me are The Blood of Fu Manchu which is a James Franco film with Christopher Lee, and Hellraiser 9 which I think might be properly titled Hellraiser Judgement (but I get them mixed up). Hellraiser 9 is not even an hour long, I think. But it’s horrid. I quite like all the other Hellraisers (there are ten of them).
I wouldn't count stuff like Sharknado.
With that bring said. Trolls.
Having kids means watching animated films and I' enjoy most of what Disney puts out, but I could not stand Trolls or its sequel. I had to leave every time it was on. That bad.
:))
Okay, let's talk about the thousands of films that somehow get released every year but stay below everybody's radar. The kind of films that beg for some pirate site to "promote" them lest they disappear in dark obscurity. The kind of films that don't even warrant their own Wikipedia page and are barely recognised by IMDB. The kind of films that feel like no one involved understands photography, editing, storytelling, acting, ... Usually, not a single name in the cast and crew will ring a bell, not now nor ever.
Watch "The Haunting of Margam Castle". It's got Caroline Monroe in a bit part. Pay attention to the sound mix, the acting, the story, .... Then try to make the case that Batman & Robin is the worst movie ever. And "Margam Castle" isn't even the worst crap I've sat through so far.
I'm saying that if there's a sewer for films, the likes of Batman & Robin aren't even close to it. I'm saying that this sewer is clogged, day after day, by the most amateurish productions that somehow manage to secure a legit release. I'm not saying that every cheap student film or amateur job is necessarily bad. I've seen good stuff amongst crowdfunded films and the stuff that some folks just post on Youtube. But while I can agree that some big Hollywood productions deserve our anger because millions of dollars feel wasted on something that simply doesn't hold up, the "worst" movie out there has to be looked for in an entirely different lump of dog poop. ;-)
They clearly set out to make a highly entertaining, tongue-in-cheek comic book movie, and for the life of me I can't see why anyone thinks they failed. I also can't figure out why the loathsome Batman Forever gets such a pass...
But... the worst film ever? Trust me, there's movie hell, and B&R isn't in it. ;-)
I do see it as a Batman 66 kind of thing. George Clooney nailed it. And Batman 66 is probably my favorite Batman thing, alongside Nolan's movies. No Killing Joke-type stuff for me please! But I'm obviously not a big Batman guy...
Having said that, The Dark Tower. What a crime against some amazing source material.
Oh, and DAD, which I often refer to as DUD, nuff said.
The only Spielberg film to truly bore me out of my skull is The BFG. Compared to that film, I think KOTKS is an amazingly entertaining adventure film.
But I still have faith in Spielberg. (Please give us another Tintin, Steven.)
The first film that comes to mind as an utter snooze fest is The Thin Red Line, that was an absolute chore to get through.
Captain Marvel has no redeemable qualities.
My wife and I watched The BFG a couple of years ago, after it had sitten on our shelf for another couple of years or so, and were quite pleasantly surprised. It deserves a re-watch one of these days.
I've been wondering what "KOTKS" was supposed to be, until I discovered that someone obviously misspelled "Crystal". And by the way, considering the premise of showing Indiana Jones twenty years or so after the previous episodes, I consider Crystal Skull another brilliant Spielberg movie. I find the premise of having another instalment with an 80-something Harrison Ford far more challenging.
I think the only Spielberg films I have still been pushing back for the simple fear of (them or me) being too sentimental are Always, The Color Purple, and War Horse. Though I don't even doubt their brilliance in utilizing that sentimentality, either.
Oh yes, and I just only realised I wrote this on a thread supposedly dealing with my "worst movie ever", plus the obvious notion that it would have to be terminally broing "Z"). Even if Spielberg recorded a fart of his on video, it wouldn't be anywhere near being "the worst movie ever", but still worth watching and entertaining.
That's okay. I just copied it myself.
In all fairness, they were initials, and I also deliberately write DUD once in a while, when the ptsd related issue is steady ;)
