I am surprised to see Gigli where it is on the list, usually I hear people talking as if it is the worst movie ever made. I saw it once, quite awhile ago, and didn't really like it, but certainly didn't think it was the worst movie ever made.

Other than a few seconds of some of the movies while flipping by them on TV I have never actually sat down for a viewing of any of those films.

I've seen 16, most were pretty crappy. I have to say Good Luck Chuck is one of my favorite movies though. Sure the acting isn't great but I thought it was funny, plus Alba is crazy hot in it.

One of the worse movies for me was The New World with Colin Farrell, where my girlfriend and myself actually left the movie theater before the movie ended.

Haha I laughed seeing Whiteout as the #100, a buddy and I actually saw it in theatres last week, there was just us and an old couple in the theatre. It did feature a nice gratuitous ass shot of Kate Beckinsale though!

I'm surprised Freddy Got Fingered didn't make the list.

Battlefield Earth deserved to be much, much closer to #1.God that was a bad movie... In every, single, way. God. What's seen cannot be unseen!

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'll avoid mentioning any historical inaccuracies or licenses taken, because it's clearly not a movie that is meant to model history, but the directing and acting were so horribly over the top... Wow. Constant slow motion and CONSTANT yelling made my head hurt. Just too much. I have no idea why some people liked this movie so much.

I don't actually think Freddy Got Fingered was that, or at least the parts of it I saw weren't, but the press it got when it came out absolutely hammered it.

Only one I've seen from that list is Deuces Wild. It was pretty crappy, but not "Worst 100 movies of the decade" crappy.

EDIT: And how does The Scorpion King not make that list?? That's easily the worst movie I've ever seen in theatres. The Rock got in a WWF-style wrestling match during a battle scene in the movie for God's sake! Awful...

Seen parts of Meet the Spartans but that's it, I haven't heard of most of them to be honest. And I agree Zohan should be top 10, one of the worst ever!

The scorpion king wasn't good, but it managed to be fun and kept to it's strengths.

The only one I've seen was 'meet the spartans' out of a curiosity of the current crop of spoof movies.

Fans of homo-eroticism I guess.


Oh and while we're talking about movies that were a letdown. I actually own Superman Returns, although I think I've only seen it once.

You didnt like 300? I'm disappointed in you, you clearly arent intellectually competent enough to get the complex subplots or you were never a fan of the original source material.

I sometimes wonder how the actors feel after having participated in these cinematic abortions and whether or not they're aware that the film is going suck something hard and crusty while they're making it.

Furthermore, based on this list alone can we impose some sort of sanction, embargo or injunction against Eddie Murphy and the Wayans brothers from ever participating in anything that involves a camera ever again? Is that possible? Can you legally declare that people cannot be near let alone operate an image capturing device of any kind for the rest of eternity? Because if you can, now is the time to exercise this power, before its too late.

I was waiting for this. It being Snyder and all. And for the record I don't think I sounded as pretentious as that. And I didn't say I didn't like 300 for the record, I enjoyed it well enough for what it was.

I haven't seen any of them. I was disappointed that 10,000 BC didn't make the list. Absolutely awful film.
