Dragonball Evolution
Justice League
The Super Mario movie is probably top of the list. The jokes fell flat and the entire movie was just Nintendo references. I get it’s a kid movie, but damn, Pixar knows how to make a movie for all ages. I guess I was hoping for the same.
Super hard for me to answer, because I almost exclusively watch good movies that I know I’ll like.
Elektra and Daredevil come to mind.
Also Avatar. Amazing visually, but with the tritest of stories and 1 dimensional characters. I was so bored by the end of it.
Exactly what I thought of Avatar: visually impressive, but really boring.
Haven’t seen the second one, but I assume it’s the same.
A Christian Carol. I know Christian movies are low-hanging fruit, but the awful CGI, terrible writing, horrible camerawork, and nonsensical story really just make it truly awful.
Jupiter Ascending - Terrible acting, story & let’s not talk about the CGI
Eddie Redmayne somehow managed to act well through the terrible script. Only redeeming part of the movie.
I think i made it 10 minute into that movie.
War of the Worlds, 2005, it’s the only film so bad I was genuinely angry about it after I’d seen it. Not just a bad film it wasted my time.
Wow really? I remember enjoying it. What did you not like about it?
I remember the movie really ramping up towards unconventional things, and then ending in disappointingly conventional ways. “And then the son with whom they got separated to a near-certain death is alive after all, and they find each other and get reunited.”
Also, as has been discussed to death at the time, the absolute lack of build-up towards the resolution, which leaves it with a taste of “wait, so why exactly did I watch what happens to this bunch of randos?”
I have nothing against people who liked it, but the final act felt like such a let-down compared to the beginning and middle of it, that I can’t really remember it positively.
In fairness, the book was like that also. Not that the movie was much like the book in other ways.
The original book just sort of follows the protagonist along as he witnesses the Martians wreak havok on humanity until all the tripods die at the end.
It’s a weird plot device to keep, considering they didn’t keep much of the original story.
It’s like they half made the film and then got bored with it so they just said something like “and then all the aliens went away the end” with no real explanation or conclusion. I don’t remember what exactly happened because obviously I’ve never wanted to rewatch it but I remember it really was something that cheap. All the time invested in it felt like it had gone to waste because there was no proper conclusion.
The original book by HG Wells had the aliens die off suddenly, defeated by Earth’s bacteria and viruses. So the story has always had that plot of “and suddenly the bad guys all died!”
Ah yep. It stuck to the source material.
spoiler
bacteria killed the aliens
If that’s your only issue with it, then perhaps worth a rewatch. I really enjoyed the destruction and chaos.
So, I’ve been complaining about this film for long enough that I’ve heard the source material argument before. I’ve not read the original book but just conclude that either A: the book really did end like the film, in which case it was never worthy of making a film about, or B: the book had a better, more nuanced ending which wasn’t captured by the film. Either way it’s a terrible film that wasted my time!

That’s a bummer. It’s one of my favorite movies. Granted I was a kid the first time I saw it
The Snowman.
Please tell me you’re not meaning the 1980s animated classic - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084701/?ref_=ext_shr
Woody woodpecker, epitome of lazy Hollywood film making, nothing unique or redeeming at all just another cgi mascot in a real world setting with a bollocks story
OMG I forgot it was a thing. 😱🤦♂️
I haven’t even heard of this movie. I can’t stand all these crappy low effort cash grabs.
I know I am going to be down-voted to hell but I really hated Fight Club.
I’ll give you an upvote but I 100% disagree with you hahaha
Why? Interested on hearing you out. It was interesting the first time I watched it.
I think a lot of people like that movie for the wrong reasons.
I am Jack’s complete lack of satirical comprehension.
Agreed - it’s not a good adaptation of the book
THE STEWARDESSES in 3D was the first film I ever walked out of.
Hands down, for the production money that went into it, The Hobbit trilogy.
This is the only movie series that legitimately made me mad. The book seemed so simple to adapt to the screen. Just follow the book, with a little cut out to help with screen time, and watch the money roll in. Instead, we got one of the worst book adaptations Hollywood’s ever seen.
You make more money with a trilogy!
Just make each movie of the trilogy 30 minutes long! Copy the TikTok hype and call them “shorts”!
The live-action Hobbit movies are the only movies that have a worse budget-to-quality ratio than Star Wars Episode II
Episode II aged better than Episode I. I’ll die on this high ground.
In much the same way roadkill ages better than a roadside piss bottle
Words do indeed matter.
From the moment they decided to milk it for three movies I knew it was going to suck. It’s a simple little adventure story ffs.
Oscar (1991)
My wife and I walked out on that one. I can’t understand how it got a 6.5 on IMDB.
I’ve seen a ton of bad movies over the years, but Moonfall has probably got to be the worst I’ve seen recently. Picture every possible disaster movie and sci-fi movie stereotype and trope… they are ALL in that film. I started laughing about halfway through and just couldn’t stop, it was so bad
