ABSOLUTE WORST MOVIE YOU'VE EVER SEEN

Folk of the back woods creep me out, too. I thought Deliverance was a fine movie, but let's just say I'm not exactly eager to sit through it again.

I'm here again because I just remembered two more awful, awful movies that sucked out my life. (How is it that I've not yet become a zombie?)

One of them was Hook, Spielberg's turgid (turd-like?) adaptation of the Peter Pan story. The movie was technically flawless-looking, as Spielberg movies are, but it was also excruciatingly lame and lifeless.

But even Hook can't touch the lamest, most sterile, most unexciting big budget movie I've ever seen in my life...Final Fantasy. How dreadful was this movie? Well, I'd rather sit through Superman IV again than watch another minute of Final Fantasy. FF was boring beyond belief. I did not mention this movie earlier because I had evicted it from my mind. Or so I thought.

That's it, Final Fantasy takes the cake. It's absolutely the worst movie I've ever seen.

Gee, atomic, thanks a lot for having a thread that forces me to remember all the crappy movies I've seen in my life.

Heh. Yes Final Fantasy is quite the chore to watch. FF was one of the first movies I bought on dvd. I hadn't played the game and I hadn't seen the film but I had heard about it's groundbreakingly realistic depiction of humans. For that it was interesting at the time. The story is brutal and VERY depressing if you bother to follow it. Pretty much everyone dies in the film. :-) I've only watched it the one time since there seems to be no reason to watch it again.

Remembered two more films I loathe: Moulin Rouge and Magnolia. Both are controversial picks, because I know there are plenty of people who love these movies for some reason.

Right now I don't have the willpower to list all the reasons why I detest these two films, but I should note that both feature actors singing, and singing badly. That might have something to do with my hostility. But at least Moulin Rouge had the pretense of being a musical. In Magnolia there was no earthly reason for the characters to suddenly break into song. The movie had already grated on my nerves up to that point. The singing just pushed it over the edge.

Well ram. I can't argue with your comments. Never been a fan of HOOK. I'm not quite sure how the Peter Pan story needs to be handled but that wasn't it.

I've admitted that Final Fantasy is in my dvd collection. I bought it as my second or third dvd because I was all fired up about getting my first dvd player and I had heard the visuals were stunning. Well, the visuals are stunning. The story however iszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

This is a good article about Superman IV:

All movies by the Cannon Group should be erased from existence. That they ever got hands on Superman was a crime.

Okay. That IS a brillian article. So much so that I feel strangely complelled to go out and buy Superman IV so can hear the comment track for myself. I haven't watched Superman IV in a very long time so my fading memory might not contain just how terrible the film truly is. ;D

[ram]

Well, yes, I have to admit that I'd like to hear the commentary track for Superman IV as well, just to hear that guy vent off steam. But I just can't bring myself to fork over money for the movie.

Walking through Wal-Mart this past weekend and in the $5 bin sat multiple copies of Superman III & IV...I came "this" close to buying them both but....

Mom & Dad Save The World. That's probably one of, if not the, worst I've ever seen. And I'm one of the 20 people who really liked Waterworld.

I've heard of "Mom & Dad" but I don't recall having watched it. I'll take your word for it that it sucks. ;D
Hey! Look what I found. Bad Movies.com review of...."Mom and Dad Save the World"

www.badmovies.org/movies/momdad/

I thought Waterworld was entertaining. I didn't love it but neither did I think it was a "Bad" film.

[Avatar]

I like that epic, post-apocalyptic type of thing.

(That review was almost positive...it's a lot worse than they make out...

LOL

I can't list all of the bad movies that I have seen for 76 years but - Waterworld, I believe was a very good movie - I saw it in the theater and on TV. I still liked it.

[Avatar]

Agree. Just because it was a collosal flop doesn't mean it was bad per se.

I actually like Waterworld one of the films I didn,t like was the final Matrix film it was a little bit over the top and I wasn,t a fan of the outcome. Really struggling to think of any movies that I didn,t like , mind you some of the Scream movies started to get on my nerves as they seemed to be never ending.

Another film that sapped the life out of me was The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu, starring Peter Sellers. Maybe the most boring movie of his I've ever seen. Then I later learned it was his final film. Not the best exit for such a brilliant career.

Watching the Richard Donner Cut of Superman II the other day reminded me of another superstinker I had forgotten (until now!): Supergirl. I'm seriously thinking it is the equal of Superman IV for its sheer ineptitude. Sadly, I had paid (read: got suckered) to see Supergirl as well.

You can't even blame the Cannon Group for Supergirl. At the time, the Salkinds were still in charge of the Superman franchise, but they sure proved they could be as shameless as Cannon.

atomic, anybody, you should check out the user review of Supergirl at IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt0088206/

I don't know what to say...
