I concur The Day After Tomorrow was also poor but more like just standard Hollywood poor rather than amongst the worst.

Transporter 2 was laughably bad also.

I am still trying to figure out a few things:

1. How does a barge get pushed straight down a street? How did it turn a corner?

2. How can you run away from cold?

3. How come cold air can't get through the cracks in a library door?

4. Why can't the cold air come down into the wendy's?



I am normally not a "wow this isn't realistic" type of guy...but this movie was just a bit too rediculous.


As for Shoot 'em up....I have no idea what they were going for. I guess it was supposed to be funny....but it wasn't at all.

1) dunno, would have to watch again to find out
2) It's not "cold" they are running from, but "cold air". Air flows like a liquid, you can avoid it
3) It probably did, just not in enough volume to have much effect. It's like being in a leaky boat, you don't fill up instantly just because some water is leaking in. Likewise some Cold Air going through the door wasn't going to have the same effect as what was occuring outside. They had a fire going to counteract it. Besides, with the amount of Frost/Ice that was building up everywhere, any small cracks would be sealed almost instantaneously.
4) not sure what you're talking about

Certainly the movie was rather fake. It kinda took some elements of the GW/GHG/GCC issue, then added a twist that no Scientist has ever suggested. I'm not even sure if the Airmass they used as the culprit even exists, although it probably does, I'm guessing. It was more an Action/Survival Movie rather than a GW/GHG/GCC movie and as an Action/Survival Movie I found it decently entertaining.

Right but do you REALLY think you would SEE cold air coming and outrun it like they did in the movie? They watched as buildings froze instantly and were able to outrun this temperature change....

4) Towards the end of the movie they fall into a building(I believe it was the dad who did) to escape the cold. That building was a Wendy's.


Nevertheless rediculous movie with a ending that contained a obvious shot at our immigration policies.

They couldn't see the Air, but they certainly knew it was coming by the encroaching frost/Ice. So ya, I think they could outrun it, they just couldn't ever know if they were succeeding or not.

I vaguely recall that scene. IIRC, it was a fairly small hole, perhaps just not big enough to allow the air to flow so easily. I dunno, I think you're expecting too much.

So what? I think the "shot" was actually just an ironic statement. You seem rather sensitive about things, just relax, most Political issues have no effect on the average person, other than the propaganda effect.

Man, we have gotten into a debate over moving air. This is what happens when you got nothing to do on a Sunday I suppose!

I'm trying to think of some really bad movies I have seen...I tend to avoid the really bad ones but occasionally stumble into them(sometimes expecting them to be bad):

Jarhead
Saw III, IV
Bloodrayne

Come to mind...I'll have to try to think of others.

I enjoyed Open water....Go figure

Now Open water 2: Adrift...THAT was pure crap

Need to add, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End".
Watched or tried to watch it last night. It was all I could do to stay awake.

I found the second one a bit more pointless...but they were both pretty useless.
I guess though, that for every two or three "Pirates" movies out there (dumptrucks of money thrown at a film with gaping plot holes, meaningless action and stale characters that still achieves tremendous box office success), there is a "Cutthroat Island" (dumptrucks of money thrown at a film with gaping plotholes, meaningless action, boring characters....that is trashed at the box office and subsequently buries an entire studio)

At least the Pirates movies have a few redeeming qualities...

I also should add that Batman & Robin, with Arnold Schwarzenegger was a flipping agonizing. All copies that unfortunately remain in existence should be torn, ripped up, crushed, burned, ashes swept into a sealed container then should be sunk to the bottom of the deepest ocean. Batman & Robin Funny Review This review does the horridness of this movie justice which I can't express very well due to my terrible writing skills.

A classic (seeming) death-knell to a popular series (Thank you, Chris Nolan and Christian Bale)

You would hope that Joel Schummacker gets his directing license revoked after his 3 attempts at Batman movies.

Also hard to imagine that someone like Akiva Goldman can go from writing B&R, to "A Beautiful Mind." Just goes to show that Hollywood will pay their best talent major dollars to put out even their worst effort.

I actually liked Unbreakable, but hated every movie after that (signs, lady in the water, etc.)

My vote goes to... From Dusk till Dawn. Simply awful not sure what people see in Tarantino.

I think From Dusk till Dawn was more Robert Rodriguez than it was Tarantino. Seems more of his style anyway. I didn't like it either; but mainly b/c I went into it having no idea that it was a vampire movie. It seemed to be going along nicely enough (I tend to like anything with Harvey Kietel), then comes almost everyone's first viewing of Salma Hayek...I mean...what's not to love?

Then she turns into a vampire, as does everyone else....honestly, I don't remember what happened after that point. I was dumbfounded.

Shamalamadingdong really started going downhill at Unbreakable, didn't he? It wasn't bad or anything (kind of a nice companion to 6th Sense--Bruce Willis is now invincible, hehe), but wasn't as good as the Sixth Sense, and everything after just got worse, and worse....and worse.

Indeeed. Tarantino made one, maybe two good flicks (RD & PF) and since then has overindulged in kind of masturbatory novelty schtuff just "because he can". M. Night Mashugana is even worse because he is apparently trying to replicate one success with the same trick (a la one trick burro) and repeatedly failing.

 

[abaez]

The only movie I've ever walked out on is David Cronenberg's Spider.

When I worked as a projectionist, we got a movie one week called "Tequila Body Shots" and for the whole week (Friday-Thurs) there were only 3 paying customers. No other movie even came close to that in six years. I'm pretty sure that the movie was bad too.

 

[TheDrake]

Not sure it was mentioned but the movie "Cube" comes to mind that was the worst movie I have ever wasted my time on... I dont know how low budget it was, but it didnt matter I have seen lower budget movies that were far better, heck even independent films I have seen were better!

Yet it is considered something of a "cult classic" and spawned several sequels.

 

[oldsystem]

Worst movie? Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan by far!!!!!!!



just kidding

 

[erwos]

The Matrix Reloaded was a fantastic movie. It just needs to be watched a couple times.

Revolutions was probably the worst of the movies, but it was still pretty good in my opinion.

Worst movie ever? I wouldn't know. I tend to avoid bad movies.

 

[techwanabe]

Matrix was really cool, but #2 and #3 never lived up to the potential that was started with #1.

yeah, that pretty much sums up M. Night, I'd say. but I didn't know he was Jewish?

I really liked Jackie Brown though. It doesn't seem to get the appreciation that it deserves.
Kill Bill has a a high re-watchability for me...but Uma is pretty terrible in those. Sometimes I just laugh when she's spouting out some threatening dialogue.

 

[damocles]

Catwoman was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. Truly awful

 

[ncage]

My list would include "Dead Man Walking" & "the village". I would probably rate the village with more suckage points. I feel asleep during the movie when i wasn't that tired.

Magnolia was one of the best American Films of that decade. Sorry you didn't like it

and you got a problem with Virgina Woolf? ...and hot chicks?

it rained frogs.

no problem with Virginia Woolf, but the movie was bad. Even my wife thought so.
