Worst. Movie. Ever.

[SoCal Sam]

John Woo. He made some excellent and very stylized action crime movies in Hong Kong such as The Killer and Hard Boiled but I think his American movies have been, well, mediocre.

John Woo is hit and miss for sure. Face/Off is a decent watch. It had over the top action and an equally over the top story.

Well todays movie at the gym was another contender for the worst movie I've ever seen. Several of these movies a common thread... Tim Burton and Johnny Depp... todays horror was Alice in Wonderland

I liked it very much. What did you find so awful about it?

just too weird for my taste, and too much CGI

Has anyone mentioned Santa Claus vs The Martians yet? Truly terrible.

So bad, I almost want to find it and sit through it this year.

 

[zenith2134]

In the b-movie horror genre there are just so many.
Attack of the Killer Donuts
Poultrygeist Night of the Chicken Dead
Gingerdead Man Vs Evil Bong

^probably the worst I've ever seen.

Saw it last week on Svengoolie, looked like a long early 50s TV kid show in color.
I can detach on judgement when I charitably suspect my demographic isn't the intended audience.

Well, todays movie at the gym was the Spielberg/ Robbin Williams fiasco "Hook"-- a movie so bad that I left theatre after ten minutes and finished exercising out the main gym area.

My wife and daughter love the Hallmark Christmas movies. I try to be a good husband/father and watch a few with them, but it is not a pleasant experience for me. They have a stable of actors and actresses that they shuffle around, many of them had acted in older TV series from the 70s and 80s.

There is basically one plot for all these movies that has a slight change to separate them. High power executive comes to small town to close a plant or bulldoze local landmark. Gets in fight with a quaint townsperson but they end up falling in love. In the last part of the movie, something happens to spoil the relationship because of a misunderstanding, but it all gets straightened out.

There is usually a town member who looks like Santa and there is a lot of winking and secretive smiles about who this man really is. ( Could it be....Santa?). It also snows with full sunlight and nothing sticks to the ground. At the end the executive repurposes the plant/saves the historic building and takes a job in the town and all is well.

Everyone likes a "happy ending"

Haven't seen any of them, no specific reason other than lack of interest.

i remember taking my kids to see "Hook" many years ago. my god, it was insufferable. from approximately the same era, there "Pee Wee's Big Top" which was as awful as "Big Adventure" was an all time classic. and also...."Cabin Boy"

Those Hallmark movies seem to be very popular with women of a certain age. A friend of ours watches them nonstop this whole holiday season. It gives her comfort.

They filmed one here a few summers ago, less than a mile up the road. They made a Christmas movie in July. There were wooden frames covered with chicken wire and white foam to simulate snow. Actors wearing scarves and coats in 95 degree heat.
