The Avengers with Sean Connery, Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman. So terrible.

I only made it about 10 minutes into "The Shipping News" mostly because I had read the book first and the movie eliminated a character, which ticked me off.

I, Frankenstein. There is nothing worse. Nothing.

Gods of Egypt was close though. Real close.

Pompeii should be up there too. Hell of a terrible flop for Jon Snows first feature film foray. And Keifer was so bad in that, so very bad.

AND!!! AND the first transformers movie that had Mark Wahlberg in it. It was like they gave up trying to do anything credibly resembling effort with the CGI about half way through. to the point where it was literally unwatchable.

Back in the summer of 1998 I was attending the Banff hockey school and one afternoon our activity was going to the movies. We had a choice between The Avengers and Snake Eyes with Nick Cage.

It was probably the only time in my life where I have said "I made a good decision watching that Nick Cage movie".

I don't mind the odd bad movie haha but K-PAX made me the angriest. Hated Kevin Spacey ever since.

The nick cage movies are kitsch but at least you know what you're getting into

That is one of two movies I've ever walked out on before it was over. The other was an awful Woody Allen movie, Scenes from a Mall. I'm not sure which was worse, so I'll call it a tie.

Not for nothing, Scenes from a Mall was a Paul Mazursky film, made during the twilight of his career. Mazursky made some terrific films in the 1970s.

As mentioned earlier - Blair witch project.
Recently I thought the Washington post movie with Tom Hanks was dreadful.
And I know I am in the minority on this but I hated pulp fiction and reservoir dogs as well

For major movies all I remember about Lost In Translation is being bored to tears. I think its the worst movie that has gotten that kind of critical acclaim.


All time, the film that takes home the prize for being the worst movie ever is Avalanche Sharks.

A Canadian horror movie about sharks that swim around in the snow at a ski resort attacking people.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2622826/

Terrible plot, acting, cgi effects.
It's just the worst in every way. So bad you can't even laugh at it, just cringe.

Men with Brooms was promoted as Calgary hosted the Brier one year. I thought a comedy movie about curling would be funny. It scraped the bottom of the barrel for humour. I left early, as did others in the theater.

I hated Men with Brooms not because it was unfunny and poorly acted (it was both those things), but because it took a very interesting sport and reduced it down to one esoteric rule that literally almost never occurs in real curling - what happens when a rock breaks - and then has that happen twice in the movie, as far as I remember it. If I remember correctly, it also featured other rarities like burned stones and highly implausible scores. Meanwhile, absolutely no attention to the rules that actually make curling interesting, such as the hammer. It was just shocking to me that a Canadian movie about curling would do such a poor job portraying the sport.

The movie that always comes to my mind when I think of bad movies seen in the theatre is "Barb Wire".

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Twlight saga and it's 5 movies.

Worst ever? Not sure, but some "classics" that I thought were awful:
- Wolf of Wall Street
- District 9
- The Hangover
- 21 and 22 Jump Street
- Any Fast and Furious movie ever
- Independence Day
- The Hobbit
- There was a Superman movie that was horrible, can't remember which one but it came out around '05/'06 or so. Worst movie I've ever paid to see.
- Goon

The following were pretty awful:

Man of Steel - The only nice thing I have to say about this movie was that it was a very nice nap. There's a reason I haven't seen Batman v Superman or Justice League.



Transformers 2 - Who might have thought an hour+ of nonstop loud noises might not be so bearable in a theater? Should have brought those noise mufflers that you use when mowing the lawn.



Game Over, Man - how did I get roped into this garbage they other week? How did Netflix see fit to associate itself with this garbage?



2012 - I hate the genre and only agreed to go watch this because I was trying to fix some general flakey-ness I was guilty of around that time. Huge mistake. It managed to be worse than my poor expectations could have imagined.


Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - see, some movies suck because they just plain suck. This one sucks because it's not only considered good by some, but it literally has an entire three seasons worth of television series events setting it up - and it still manages to not have a clue what it's doing or how it's doing it or when it's doing whatever it's supposed to be doing. It's like an editor's cut of something that probably had some substance at some point before that was all cut out to piece together some vague conversations and unexciting action sequences. It's especially telling that its most stout defenders require a novel adapted from it to explain the "why" of what the **** was going on.

A few of his movies have been mentioned so I will go ahead and nominate the entire filmography of Roland Emmerich. Wow has he ever directed a huge collection of stinkers.

Twilight.

I hadn't heard about the books or anything else about it back then, so I was excited even when my girlfriend at the time suggested going to see "a vampire movie". What a maddening experience that was.
