People In This Online Group Are Sharing The Movies They Couldn’t Finish Because They Were So Bad And Here Are 30 Of Them
Movies make you travel to a different world and experience hundreds and thousands of lives, let you into the minds of people who think not the same as you, and help to detach from your own problems. It is a popular way to spend time but you want it to be quality time as there are more productive ways to spend a couple of hours of your day.
Some movies are so bad that you don’t need to finish them to know they are not worth your time. To make other people aware of such movies, Ramaal2000 asked Reddit users, “What movie did you start watching then said ‘F**k this, I'm not finishing this?’”
Are there any other movies that made you stand up in the cinema and just leave, or turn off your computer, TV, or other devices because they were so unwatchable? Let us know in the comments and upvote the submissions you agree with the most.

The Mummy - the Tom Cruise train wreck.
The old school one with Brendan Frasier is awesome.
I have almost never agreed with a comment more and I wish I could upvote it 100 times.
Load More Replies..."The old school one with Brendan Frasier..." Yeah. THAT'S the old school one. *face palm*
Totally agreed! Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's The Mommy 1+2 are 100times better
How did Van Helsing not make this list? Literally the only movie I've ever walked out of in a theater. It was THAT bad.
The base idea for the "dark universe" had potential. But they wasted it by making the characters stupid. Luckily the videogame Wayforward made based on the idea was great.
Hollywood writes screwed Sofia Boutella. Watch her indie films if you wanna see her talent.
It destroyed their entire "Dark Universe" franchise. From what I've heard about it, the movie was largely destroyed by Tom Cruise demanding it all be rewritten to suit his ego.
50 shades of Gray. I was out as soon as she walked into Christian s office and tripped over NOTHING. Cause, you know, she s just so quirky and clumsy.
The Secretary was and still is the far superior movie with bdsm.
Think money isn't important? Move 50 Shades from the world of a billionaire to a trailer park....now it's a horror movie. (LMAO)
I couldn't even get 50 pages into the book. It was worse writing than something a 3rd grader in South Park could write.
I only skimmed through them so I never read the entirety of the books. But if you think those were badly written, try the book that was written from his point of view. I'm still traumatized by the brief amount I did read.
Load More Replies...I also didn’t finish the book. Just read like a teenage girl fantasies.
I've spent my life tripping over "nothing", so much so that Mom decided I tripped over "gnats and air pockets"! Not that I'm at all defending the movie.
Anastasia Steele was literally designed after Bella Swan from Twilight. Fifty Shades of Grey was a Twilight fan fiction that got reworked into a trilogy of books/films
Cats.
I lasted 30 minutes and then I immediately left the theater. Human faces on roaches creeped me the hell out, as did whatever else I saw in that time frame.
I grew up loving this show. (Theater) Saw it 3 times. I still like the original cast recording. I tried watching this on HBO and turned it off about a quarter way in. Never went back to finish it.
I saw it once when I was maybe 11 or 12. Loved it. Got the soundtrack. I refuse to watch this mess.
Load More Replies...Took my 10yo kid to see this as they loved the stage show. 20 minutes in, they scooted over and whispered, what is this s**t? Yes we let our kid swear as long as it's not at someone. We promptly left.
Great job letting your kid pick which words to use. (Not sarcasm). The English language can be colorful so why not let him have his pick. I used to let mine use whatever words they choose and after the newness wore off they didn't seem so amused and hardly ever swore again.
Load More Replies...I shamefully admit that I have the OST because I enjoyed the songs (mostly). But the film itself was so creepy. Such big names were involved, too!
I could tell from their ads that this movie wasn't getting any of my money.
Just when i thought I'd heard all the bad things about this movie... Faces on roaches. 😂
I've sworn I won't watch this until they release the b-hole version. If I'm going to get creeped out, I say go big or go home.
Marriage story.
Why would i want to watch parents fight for two hours. Might as well just eat with my family for dinner
Everybody was raving about how good this movie was. And it was very well made. But it's just sad. A marriage splitting apart is awful and showing it so realistically is depressing.
The acting in this movie was unbelievable and if you've never suffered in a marriage/divorce than I'm happy for you. This movie was excellent
I'm a domestic law attorney. Watching this movie was like watching someone do my work. If anyone wants to know what a domestic case is like, watch this movie. It is the most accurate portrayal of a custody case I've seen. I wasn't surprised when the writer based it on his own experiences.
I loved it, it showed how communication AND listening is important in a relationship
This is not a bad movie because it was to realistic and make you sad

What you didn’t enjoy watching Ong and his friends Katara and Soh-kah acting super serious and depressed?
They’re making a new live action Avatar movie or tv show. The characters actually look really good! AND they’re culturally accurate to the anime!
Guys, just watch the cartoon and ignore the presumed existence of this steaming pile of manure. Trust me. Some of us have sacrificed minutes of our lives so you won´t have to.
Watching the movie made me want to die. I did however finish it purely to write down everything that was wrong with it lol. There was a lot.
As soon as they pronounced the 3 MAIN characters' names wrong, I was out. Nopety, nope, nope.
This was such a wonderfully creative show with beautifully crafted characters. The movie on the other hand was a steaming piling of putrid garbage with whitewashing and so much exposition that it would put you to sleep.
Noah with Russel Crowe. Gave it about 10 minutes then me and the missus looked at each other.
"Maybe it'll get better"
"That *maybe* is doing a lot of work"
We gave up when the Twisted Rock Creatures just casually arrive and nobody bats an eyelid, or even explains them.
It might get better, but I'm 40ish, so only have a few decades left, and dont want to risk wasting the hours required to watch this again.
I don't get it. You're stupid enough to believe a magic man in the sky made a flood and only ONE MAN could save us all, by putting 2 of every 1.5 million species of animal on a boat...but rock critters are a bridge too far?
Any biblical c**p is bad on film. It just oozes of dust, mould and make-believe some people think is real. Only stone-hard religious people can find any kind of joy in such movies.
I loved this movie. It is very much in line with traditional Jewish understandings of the story.
The how its was made: costume videos out there are very much worth a watch if thats an interest of yours. The work that went into the production is fascinating. If you want a low key slow watch scif movie thats worth the story, checck out an older one, "Enemy Mine" Otherwise a strange scifi movie not related to the content the title implies. As if Mel Gibson and scientology teamed up for a movie.
I've read the Bible and the whole movie is inaccurate

Trash.
Krakenzmama added:
I really was looking forward to AWIT. I had a rough time as a fifth grader in the 1980s and it was THE book that saved my soul as a kid - I saw myself as Meg- I read and reread it until I was an adult.
So I was truly excited to see this movie with my bf and his kids. After I left the theater I was mad for weeks every time I thought of it.
I didn't mind how it was cast. but the writers skipped over chapters of the book, practically made Oprah the star of the thing and totally made everything up from whole cloth after Meg and Cal escaped Kamazotz. It wasn't even the cliff notes version - it was like the kindergartner version after the saw the trailer once and tried to make the ending deep when they didn't earn it.
Trash indeed
I loved the book growing up! The Aunts had just the right otherworldly touch. I turned off the movie 20 minutes in. Awful.
Load More Replies...Having never read the book, I enjoyed the movie. The book is always going to be better in any adaptation.
Except The Devil Wears Prada. There's a silk purse made from a sow's ear.
Load More Replies...I loved the book as a kid, purposely avoided this movie after hearing such disappointing reviews
Dreadful movie couldn't watch too far into it..why did Oparah have to be so prominent
The Passion of the Christ, and I remember the exact moment.
(spoilers?)
In one of the first scenes where Jesus is being tortured by the Romans, Roman One reveals his Cat o’ Nine Tails with barbed hooks. He slams it against a wooden table, and pulls it back to a shower of splinters. He then proceeds to send chunks of Jesus’ back everywhere.
I thought to myself: just kill him already.
And then I found myself wondering: was THAT the point of all this gore-porn? To drive home that the only end to pain and suffering was through THE DEATH OF CHRIST?
Just as I was about to give Mel Gibson grudging respect for maybe almost making a point, Roman One flips Jesus over and starts all over again on Jesus’ front. “Nope,” I thought to myself, “Mel was enjoying himself too much when he made this.” My girlfriend at the time noped out hard, and I definitely wasn’t going to refuse.
The worst thing was leaving and seeing the CHILDREN that these church people brought to see this movie that was rated R solely for violence, their eyes either buried in their seats or dilated to the size of dinner plates, and (I assume) blaming themselves for what they were seeing on screen.
F**k that movie. Happy Easter?
Indeed. Its essentially an excuse to watch something sadistic with the deniability of going "no its totally because im a devout christian and its about religion and not because im a sick f**k who enjoys watching people be tortured" christians do a lot of acrobatics to do really horrible things while claiming to be basically angelic. Not all christians obviously, but its disturbing that this out of all the versions of the story was by far the most popular movie. Basically going "whats happening to Jesus is so sad" while stroking themselves through a hole in their pocket...
Load More Replies...I have always wondered why people professing their allegiance to a religion wear the symbol of a horrifying death rather than one which shows the love central to the religion's core message.
I'm not a Christian, not anymore, but I understand the symbolism. Jesus' death was an atoning sacrifice, much like the the animal sacrifices of the old testament. Without him, as a "perfect lamb" taking on our punishment and dying in our stead, the whole religion is pointless. The crucifixion is absolutely central to the entire belief system. And yeah, you can say a lot about how messed up that is. Don't kill the messenger.
Load More Replies...south park rip this to shreds. https://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/d7grkc/south-park-the-passion-of-the-jew-season-8-ep-3
That was a good episode. Even though that show is super raunchy, it's a great and hilarious commentary on society.
Load More Replies...That was exactly the moment I noped out. I went to see it with my religious dad, trying to bond with him. I told him I had to go and spent the rest of the movie sobbing in the cafe of the movie theater. It wasn't even about Jesus, that s**t actually happenned to so many people... My poor teenage empathetic self did NOT need to see and hear what a flogging looks and sounds like in full Dolby surround
I walked out of church when they put it on. Weird thing is, when I backslid I could watch it without blinking an eye. Now that I came back, no way I'm gonna watch it.
Load More Replies...A religious friend picked it and the rest went with it... it was so bad, all the time I was thinking: this torture devices existed already which means many suffered them and died just the same... what makes Jesus different under those conditions??... I'm a pagan but Jesus is a figure I like because of his compassion and fight for those in need, his humanity. This movie disgusted me and made him just another victim...
Christians believe that what made Jesus different is that He, being the Son of God, lived a sinless life and went to the cross willingly. He had no sin of His own, so His death was able to atone for the sins of the world instead. Also super central, the fact that He rose from the dead after and so "defeated the grave" and death. I've heard it explained, just as a way to make it easy to understand, that He took the sins of the world on his shoulders, carried them with Him into the grave, and then left them there and rose again Himself. I do agree it's a super hard movie and not one I could watch regularly, but I did appreciate seeing it at least a couple times (had to look away now and then) because it is historically accurate that Jesus was beaten and crucified (and also because I'm a Christian, if you didn't already suspect from my comment ha :) )
Load More Replies...this movie was just propaganda for christians. when it was playing locally so many churches bought out the theater seats. i think it was made for the purpose of wanting to show what christ suffered for us. which, according to christian doctrine he did so to purge us of our sins as well as to show that suffering for g-d was worth the pain. but, for me, g-d shouldn't demand such sacrifice and to have young children watch this graphic abuse is almost emotiona/mental abuse. but, no one complained or condemned it because it was the bible story of christ. funny how adults can justify this but then complain about animated and not so bloody depictions in video games.
IF you are a religious person (Christian-wise) you already know how much suffering there was in nailing someone to a cross, let alone the flogging, etc. I didn't miss one single frame of not seeing the movie.
Still not appropriate for kids and alot of Christians felt the need to subject them to it

The Emoji movie. It was almost a parody of every CGI kids movie.
Didn't they abandon the Popeye movie for this? Or was that another studio? Either way, I'm still hurt.

The Will Ferrell and John C Reilly movie “Holmes and Watson”
off_brand_gobsh**e added:
In the screening I went to (thanks, dad), I watched a whole group of fourteen year old boys hightail it out of there in the first twenty minutes.
When the least discerning movie audience of all time up and leave so soon, you know it'll be amazingly bad.
Let us shout it from the rooftops! He has one schtick that he does over and over and over... and it wasn't funny even the first time around.
Load More Replies...This one really disappointed me because I loved stepbrothers so much
The weird seducing over the dead body they were dissecting was too much for me. Even bleach can't burn that s**t out of your eyes
I won't watch anything with Will Farrell. Cannot stand the guy.
I stay through the movie because it's a comedy and I like will Ferrell I think he is funny

Mean girls 2
SakuOtaku added:
It bothered me because the girls weren't even bullies in that one like the first. They just did straight up crimes they could have gotten arrested for.
There was a Mean Girls 2? I guess if it's as bad as OP says, it's why I haven't heard of it.
And the acting... They might have been told to like act very poorly because in other films these actors are awesome
there was huge 'not like the other girls' vibes from the main character, she seemed less like a person and more like every stereotype of a 'girly-girl' flipped on its end. I find it hard to watch movies with unrealistic main characters. Its sad that the movie industry feels like in order to make relatable characters they have to pull another 'strong female woman that is sooo different'
The plastics in Mean Girls 2 would have been written in the burn book and torn alive by Regina George.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Huge fan of the books but couldn’t make it half an hour into the movie. Literally walked out of the theatre.
ElectricErik added:
Could have been the next Harry Potter and I felt terrible for Riordan. They should have used kids like they did in the Harry Potter movies because they start out 11-12 years old in the books. I don’t even think they read the books til the second one because they gave Alexandra Daddario a blonde wig in the second movie because her character is in fact supposed to be blonde. And they meet a bad guy in the second movie that they shouldn’t even think about until like the 3rd or 4th book.
So yeah, bad movies.
THIS. Omg, I hated this movie. Annabeth is supposed to be blonde, they screwed up the plot, and Clarice is just flat-out not there. The musical is better than this!
GOD I HATE THIS MOVIE WITH A PASSION OF A THOUSAND SUNS IT TOOK AWAY EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT PJO
I felt like a bad auntie because I took my niece to see it as a birthday present because she loved the books. I think we made it 45 minutes before she leaned over and said something along the lines of 'I don't know what this is but its NOT Percy Jackson.' We hit the mall arcade instead.
OMGGGG I HATE THIS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES. THIS MOVIE IS THE ACTUAL BANE OF MY LIFE. DELETE IT FROM REALITY, PLEASE
Me to!!!! I've read both of these series over and over and I was excited! It was just off all around . Nothing in the movies had the same emotional impact or the same sarcastic humor. My daughter wanted to see the movie so I told her she could she hated it and despite me warning her before that the books were so much better and how they were a companion to me when I wanted to get out of my head and loose myself in a different world . It's been a few years so now I am going to try again to get her yp read them this summer.
I'll be 32 this month and I think I'm going to start a book club with my daughter and read and discuss a few chapters at a time and when we finish the book go for mommy daughter time and get ice cream to discuss the book in its entirety.

Such a letdown that one. They should’ve never made a second one. The first one was so good!
I'm in the minority that didn't like the first one. He was so freaking irritating to me. I couldn't stand the character.
I don't think you're the minority. I worked in a video store when that came out and people either loved it or hated it. It was roughly half and half though.
Load More Replies...Starting the movie with Zoolanders wife being dead was a really backhanded way to start a light comedy. That just made me sorry I wanted a sequel.
Gigli. I thought it might be comically bad, but no, it’s just the moldy cardboard of movies. Made it through about 35 mins before I realized that I was actively thinking about other things and tuning it out. So I turned it off.
I somehow managed to watch it. The ONLY thing that stands out to me now. Is a line in the movie the teenager says about J Lo "she makes my pee sneeze". 😳
How can anyone consider J Lo a serious actor? I think she is so horrible!
I have never heard of this movie. Was this how these two became a thing before they weren't a thing and now they are a thing again?

Eragon the movie, 'Nuff said
python_eating_toast added:
It was actually that film that introduced me to the books! I watched it, thought it was ok, found out there were books and bought them. About a year later I decided to rewatch it because I had fond memories. Wow it was bad. I only got about half way in before I quit
Yes, Eragon the movie was such a disappointment. It felt like they wrote the script based only on the back cover book summary (rather than actually reading the book)
The book is a complete ripoff of Star Wars. It's not even original content. It's not even the author's version of the Hero's Journey (which has been done a million times over). It's just a blatant plagiarism with dragons instead of X-Wings. The kid was 15 when he wrote it... of course it's derivative trash. EVERYTHING I wrote in MY teens is derivative trash too XD
Load More Replies...My wife and I have not read the books and knew sweet f***y Adams about it or the series. We both enjoyed the film and were looking forward to a sequel. When we googled it and found out one probably wasn't coming we were a little disappointed. She's planned to start reading the books at the end of summer or next spring (depending on whether or not she finishes her current series).
I like the books better but I saw the movie first. Movie wasn't bad but the books are still better . The good thing is that it might inspire people to read then after they hear how much better the books are.
If the script was actually based on the dialog from the book, it was obvious this was written by a kid. Talk about corny. All I can remember from the little bit of the movie I actually saw, was laughing my a*s off at the stupid dialog.
Never read the book. Thought it was cool looking enough to go sit alone while my wife was with her parents. Huge disappointment.
If you want to watch this movie and enjoy it, buy the Rifftrax audio track to go with it. Halt and be fabulous!

surle added:
Yeah. That was unfortunate. I mean, how do you take all of that talent, all of that back story, all of that money, and come up with... That?
Twice now they have pooched the dark phoenix story. WHY mess with it. I understand the difficulties inherent in the story but they could have come a lot closer to the story. The same with the monstrosity of the new Murder on the Orient Express. WHY change a classic? Vanity? Hubris???
I am convinced that the screenwriters intentionally are not comic things and force themselves not to even read the comments and the storyline in order to make up something of their own. It's the only way that that makes any type of sense
Load More Replies...I literally only stayed in theater to see how bad it could get. How do you f**k up a movie THIS BAD? Even McAvoy and Fassbender, as brilliant actors as they are, couldn't save this dumpster fire.
They ruined my favorite X-Men character. I was so excited to see they were making this and I left so angry. (Didn't walk out cause I thought "maybe, just maybe it'll get better!)
I never had expectations, storyline had NOTHING to do with the Dark Phoenix except the name, which they also ruined.
Load More Replies...No, I think you’re referring to X-Men: Days of Future Past
Load More Replies...Watch the film theory on how dark Phoenix was only bad because of captain marvel, it’s very interesting
I was hoping for a feel-good goofy movie and saw “Downsizing” while browsing Hulu. After reading the description, I assumed it’d be something like “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” and went for it.
It was nothing like “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” :(
Such high hopes. The first half was really intriguing and then it just went full plop
It really was a film of two halves. But it’s not as bad as some of them on the list!
It sucked but I liked seeing the tiny people, and I loved Christoph Waltz playing a Serb. I would watch that man in anything. downsizing...824cd8.jpg
Whatever, it was good. The ending was a little abrupt. I just learned about it and pushed through it a couple of weeks ago.

Dear god...that opening...
The way the movie does that awkward quick jump of King Author getting off his horse.
"....Yes, that King Arthur"
Um...did the narrator think I was thinking of another King Arthur...jesus this movie is going to be so bad...
I actually finished watching the movie. I don't know why I did that, but I did.
Even the animated movies were pretty good. (Blood And Iron, and Sword Of Storms) They were voice acted by the same people who played them in the first live action movies. Aside from Manning.
Load More Replies...Nope, the remake does not exist (Lalala denial noises)! Ron Perlman was awesome and then they went and ruined everything
Aw...I kinda liked the original Hellboy, in all its kitschy glory. Dumb, but still kinda fun.
I love this movie. So many monsters and so much gore. A lot of cgi, but some really cool practical fx makeups when used. And David Harbour.
I loved the older Hellboy movies with Ron Perlman. . Those movies were so- well,, human. Guillermo del Toro, one of my favorite directors. The newer one is all CGI + David Harbour (who I really do like as an actor), cashing in on his new popularity. No soul. No del Toro.What a waste.
The Robin Hood movie. The bad guys have machine gun crossbows. It's f*****g bizarre.
Edit: For anyone that hasn't seen it and is curious, the first scene has Robin Hood in the crusades where the crusaders wear modern gear and flak jackets and they hut hut hut around a bombed out city clearing houses with longbows half drawn at the shoulder like they're spec ops dudes but they get pinned down by an automatic ballista that's basically a machine gun nest but it's OK because they fire a flare arrow over it which calls in an air strike from some nearby trebuchets. I didn't hate this as much as some of the people replying but the whole thing was so goofy and stupid that I couldn't be bothered finishing it.
Are you kidding ??? I actually love this movie and all of the fantastic actors in it. I'm not looking at it to be exactly period accurate . I think adding some new flair into an old story was a clever mix .
there actually were "repeating crossbows" capable of firing 7–10 bolts in 15–20 seconds (vs 1 bolt every 30 sec for a standard crossbow). They had them as far back as 1st century AD
The whole movie was shot with medieval looks with modern action movie gear and scenes. Think machine guns, but crossbows. Think car driving through a shop during a high-speed chase, but it is horse and cart. Think body Armour of soldiers, but it looks like plate mail or chain mail.
Doesn't Varric in Dragon Age have, essentially, a automatic crossbow? Bianca? Difference is, Dragon Age is a well-written series lol.
That one can stay in the Bin.... but I will say I loved this one. Fantastic acting , wonderful set and costume design . And and an interesting take on the story

I’m normally a huge fan of Tim Burton’s work but i have legitimately sat down w snacks, full intent on watching it, three times now and i just can’t get into it.
Edit: i know he didn’t direct this one but we all know whenever he’s involved his style gets very heavily incorporated
nah I loved it. It has snape as a worm. It's pure Tim Burton. Also ann hathaway is divine. Always.
'Snape as a worm' was enough to get me to check this movie out.
Load More Replies...I love TB, but cannot watch any AH film. I, unfortunately, went down the rabbit hole of learning all about how AH would treat people when not in the public eye, the secret videos of her being a monster to commoners, the smoking gun type evidence of her tipping of paparazzi before arriving somewhere then putting on a “please leave me alone” performance that’s so sad & sappy. The girl has some talent (as long as she doesn’t stray out of hackneyed sentimentality and linear narrative; she’s never take a role from Tilda), but that reason she’s so hated? It’s that her entire persona on and off screen is manufactured. I mean, buying a huge hat, using your man’s # to tip TMZ then putting on a sympathy performance? Fake.
I think the movie is good, just what really bothers me is the white queen. Like, she's pretty and stuff, but the way she moves and talks... I can't do it. It just bothers me so much and idk why
Maybe I'm remembering wrong or mixing it up with something else... isn't there a scene where the white queen is moving all affectedly-graceful like she always tries to, then looks around and sees no one is watching and drops the act and runs? It's been a while since I've seen it but if I remember right I think it shows that the way she acts is supposed to be fake and over the top rather than charming.
Load More Replies...This one was okay to me. The only unnecessary gimmick was the animated dance or "futterwacking" of the Mad Hatter at the end.
Style is just style without direction. Might as well just appreciate random stills at that point.
The Mummy 3. I loved the Mummy series and Brendan Fraser is awesome but my god that was a hot pile of s**t and the only movie I ever walked out of in a theatre.
Its bad because Rachel Weiss wasn’t in it. And the actress who replaced her has no chemistry whatsoever with Brendan Fraser. Also the bit about Alex and his dad with strained relationship didn’t sit well with me. After all they’ve been through? LMAO
I sort of liked it, because it was a total mess. So bad it's good sort of situation. Didn't watch it in theaters though, so I didn't have the waste of money annoyance to mess with the experience.
I like that temple scene with 4 Yetis

Death note netflix adaptation
Over-Analyzed added:
William Dafoe is the only thing decent about it. The final plan at the end was terrible to begin with.
The idea was great, but I think it lacked realism ... bringing in that kid detective.
Load More Replies...They could have done such a good job with that one, if they hadn't insisted transplanting the original story into the USA, heavily "westernizing" it in the process. If they had just gone for "Ryuk is bored again, and drops his Death Note into the USA this time". Whole new story, Whole new characters - maybe even flashbacks to "Hey, remeber what happened in Japan 20 years ago" to drive the story. But no, just a retelling, and an abysmally bad one at that.
I heard that the Duffer Brothers who did stranger things are working on a series based on Death Note. Hopefully it will be much better than this one.
I don't get the point of adapting one movie type to another movie type. You can already watch the original why the f**k do you want a bastardized remix?
Due to a couple references to "the kira case in japan" I think the original intent was a semi sequel/spin off of "what if Ryuk got bored again and hucked his death note into the US" but then someone said nope, it's gotta be a Loyal adaptation, unfortunately they said this half way through filming.
Load More Replies...This... I haven't dared watch 😅 Americans. How the eff do you do Death Note with Americans 😅 like they'd bother with something as subtle as a notebook Loved the manga and the anime. And the Japanese Live Action.
I thought Willam Dafoe made it worth watching, he's always incredible. But yeah, they got rid of all the best parts of the anime, especially the cat-and-mouse game!
The most recent Underworld movie, it was a lot more soap opera and general incoherence than anything, beyond saving
No complaints about it. I liked it. Not my favourite in the series, but not at all disappointing.
It’s called fantasy that’s why movies where made to take you away from reality for few hours
I liked it ok but it was definitely not my favorite. I love Theo and Kate so it is definitely watchable but it lost its magic when ....spoiler they got rid of Scott
I was never a big fan of that series of movies. Though I like Kate Beckinsale a lot. It was like too much. I enjoyed the TV series True Blood. So it's not that I don't like vampire and werewolf stories.
Hearts AND Armour. (CORRECTED!)
I have absolutely no excuse other than I paid $1 in the Blockbuster bin for it and needed to win the "Worst movie" contest with a bunch of friends on Fantasy Movie Friday.
I won.
I still win with it.
I still haven't watched all of it.
Note to anyone who attempts to watch it - whenever the blonde heaves her bosoms, tosses her hair, and yells "Let me fight him, I'll fight him" take a drink and you'll be dead before the end of the film, so you'll be out of your misery anyway.
FYI: You don't know bad cinema until the bad guys have the evil henchmen in a sword and sorcery flick is wear a spangly rooster costume fight chicken style alongside the guy in a sequined top hat surrounded by knives and bowtie on top of an ape suit.
YUP, folks - it's THAT bad.
And I own it on VHS.
It sounds like an awful movie, but damn, your description is hilarious!!
As a lover of bad cinema (I’ve seen Starcrash twice!), I’m happy to learn of the existence of this movie. I’ll watch it!
The trailer is pretty bad! https://youtu.be/LcrLWTenKd4

Because it's an Italian movie. But it does star Ronn Moss who used to play Ridge Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful and Tanya Roberts who was on Charlie's Angels.
Load More Replies...It sounds so awful I almost want to see it, or at least the rooster fight part.
Bad movie night? That sounds like a drinking game. Well, it sounds like the all-night drive-in movies quality of films.
Years back, I used to love the no-effort parody movies like Epic Movie, Scary Movie, Superhero Movie, Meet the Spartans etc.
Until I watched Scary Movie 5.
When 5 came out, I couldn't see it immediately at the time so I forgot about it and rented it years later. When watching it I realised none of the jokes were funny because they all relied on referencing and parodying the horror movies of that time which were no longer relevant. It was a slog and I turned it off and returned it half way through.
I was laughing my butt off for 1, 3, 4, and 5. Not 2 because it felt kind of rushed and wasn't given the right amount of time to come up with some real humorous jokes.
I like to pause movies when they have a chess board. In this movie, there was a chimp playing games of chess against three other chimps. They did a really good job of setting the boards up into interesting positions. A lot of movies and shows do a terrible job of paying attention when they put a chess board in the scene. Boards are often set up wrong, or sideways, or both. I'm sure someone would advise them for free if they just asked. But no, it wasn't a good movie, nor did I ever expect it to be.
I watched up to scary movie 4, the rest of the MOVIE movies were awful
Movies like that are often very "time framed" as they thrive on parody of events, common knowledge and movies of that specific period in time.
Scary Movie really lost its magic, but I will say Date Movie and Vampires Suck are still worth watching.
It is what it is folks. It's a scary movie. I liked it because it did more of the same. Made me laugh at the ridiculous stuff. Definitely not as good as 1 or 2 but you should know what to expect by now . ...a whole lot of absurdity mixed in with a little adult humor and the classic horror movie formula
I like scary movies 2. I don't like 4 or 5. I heard there might be a 6.

Going overboard. Adam Sandler's first movie. It's amazing how it didn't end his career before it started

I actually finished it the one time I started it. Worst movie I have ever watched. I remember a chase scene around the boat where Sandler’s character has different shirts on during the same chase. You couldn’t make a worse movie if you tried.
How *does* Adam Sandler have a career? I mean sure, apparently he's a nice guy, but how does that sell movies?
The three most terrifying words in the English language: Starring Adam Sandler.
This came out when I was watching a lot of movies, yet I never saw this one. It does not seem like I missed much.
Zombiesaurus.
I love ‘B Movies’ that are amusingly bad. “Ghost Shark” is a particular favourite, but Zombiesaurus (bought for £2 from my local Asda) was so bad I couldnt finish it.
We have a Show that's called "SchleFaZ" - schlechteste Filme aller Zeiten (worst movies ever), where they lead through those movies like Sharknado with cocktails and everytime something specific happens (eg. a shark attack) you have to take a sip... no chance to survive those brainfart-movies sober. 😅 edit: those cocktails are mixed especially for those movies and have fitting names though 😄
It sounds like it could be funny if you were in the mood to poke fun at it all night.
Y'all should watch "Sand Sharks" with Corin Nemec (Parker Lewis), it's so bad it's becoming for us an hilarious classics ^^
I also love bad movies, but never the deliberately-bad, "tee hee, look how goofy we're being" sort. The really funny ones come from people thinking they're making Shakespeare, crapping money away producing Great Cinema that either the entire cast or everyone but the star clearly recognizes is...not. At least once a year, along with old crud like Plan Nine From Outer Space or The Giant Claw, I will cackle at or revel in failures from people who should have known better, like Irwin Allen's The Swarm, Howie Long's Firestorm, or Silent Night Deadly Night and SNDN Part 2. In each case someone thought they were making an Important Film.
Should have turned off Invisible Man, but my BF was enjoying it.
I literally spent 75% of that movie thinking "NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. Is it over yet? Surely this is the end. Oh god, it's not. F**k." On repeat.
It wasnt even the fact that he was invisible, just everyone not believing the woman over and over....nooope.
It's been 14 years since I broke up with my controlling gas lighting ex. Clearly not long enough to watch this movie. And my ex wasnt ever physically violent.
-10/10. Hated it.
This was a great remake with a very different take on the story. I can see how it would be (like the review above) a trigger for some that have been in abusive relationships but there is a point to it all.
But its understandable why some people would be uncomfortable
Load More Replies...Totally disagree with this. It was an excellent film and the fact that Elizabeth Moss' character is gaslighted is very important to the story.
But they don't like that it accurately betrayed if not in a semi-fantastical way a gaslighting piece of jerk
Load More Replies...I love this movie. I love how she took her revenge with "Surprise"
Her dislike seems to have been due to past emotional trama not due to the quality of the film. I've been meaning to see it, but haven't gotten around to it.
Inside.
It's a French slasher film about this woman who wants to steal a pregnant widow's fetus. I've watched so many gorefest movies to boot and for some reason this one just totally took it to the next level for me and I couldn't handle it.
I actually got quite close to the end and I just couldn't finish it.
I wouldn't recommend it to any pregnant lady or newly mother
This is kind of misleading because this movie is not actually bad, it's very effective. Very disturbing.
The movie is actually a really good one. Very disturbing. (Correction: The woman was right before birth, so it was a baby already and not a fetus.)
There are no words, this is not a joke, and three people upvoted this?

Bird box. What a horrible movie. I made it pretty far, but realised like 45 minutes in that I had no way to empathize with the main character, I hated her, the way she treated the kids, and I hated the way every other character behaved. I turned it off.
You would have understood the point of her behaviour if you had finished the movie.
That's true with a lot of movies out there but there comes a time where it just doesn't feel worth the "prize" at the end. Sometimes you have to say "my time is worth more than this movie" and cut your losses.
Load More Replies...I agree .. if you'd finished the movie you may have felt better about her character .. the book was amazing
I hated that the dogs died in the book. That ruined the book for me.
Load More Replies...I liked it and actually thought the character was very realistic. Not everyone naturally takes to motherhood and she was doing it at a crazy time
Mother hood is hard. Especially when you factor in having your own problems that you can't solve but to be expected to have it all figured out for your tiny humans . Also PP depression is very real and a lot of women can feel a disconnect . Therapy helped my friends thru it but she's in a world with no mental health help , stressed beyond beliefs about giving birth to one child without her support system and ends up with 2 of them to take instead of one. She's also trying to treat them the same and not show favoritism. I think she's honestly expecting the worst outcome because she's lost anyone she's loved so she is keeping distant and having a disconnect can be a coping mechanism to try and lessen the emotional pain if she looses one or bite of them along the way . I love your comment. I agree with you.
Load More Replies...I liked this movie but so many ppl had hyped it up to me, that I ended up thinking, "Well it's not THAT good." And I also didnt like the main character and most of the others as well. Now - A Quiet Place, THAT'S a good movie along the same lines.
I look through the comments to see if anyone feels the exact way I feel so I don't have to type it all out. Ding ding! It's you my friend!
Load More Replies...Most people who didn't read the book liked the film version. But since I'd already read the book — which was brilliant and genuinely terrifying — I was really disappointed at how the plot and the premise were mangled by the film. If you like really effective, well-written horror — whether or not you enjoyed the movie — go read the book; it's short but so intense that you won't be able to put it down.
I ended up loving her once you realize why she treated the kids that way and how she changed in the end. I've seen it twice. Think I'll watch it again today.
I heard so much hype about this movie before it came out that I knew it was not for me.
Not a movie, but a TV show. Glee. When I watched the first episode, it invoked a hysterical rage in me that I'd never had before. The characters are awful. The plot is nonexistent. If you watch it, you'll realise that murder is actually acceptable after all.
Same. I really *wanted* to like it, but couldn't.
Load More Replies..."Wedding Crashers" Don't know the last time I watched a film with so much homophobic commentary, really bad jokes, sexism and men who just want to hear themselves talking. Just thinking about the film gives me the creeps..
Arachnophobia. It's not a comedy, and my husband discovered he's a true arachnophobe about 40 minutes into it. We walked around for an hour to calm him down.
Is it supposed to be a comedy? It's the only horror movie that has even actually scared me. Awful.
Load More Replies...Titanic. I never managed to finish it. Fell asleep 3 times while trying. Don't understand the hype.
I hope you woke up when the boat sinks. Best moment of the movie.
Load More Replies...Dumb and dumber. I know that many people enjoyed this movie, but it was unbearable to watch, I gave up after 15 minutes. Gues I'll never like Jim Carrey movies.
I disagree. But I first watched it as a little kid. There may be some nostalgia in why I enjoy it. Same with Ace Ventura movies.
Load More Replies...The Green Card. The protagonist is not likeable. You know she's committing fraud just to get an apartment with a greenhouse. The guy just wants a green card. There is absolutely no chemistry between that imposter couple. The whole idea of having a greenhouse in your apartment gives me images of infestation problems. The whole movie is just frustrating to watch. You think it's going in one direction and then falls flat.
