| Mine has to be Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill. I don't give out a 1/10 rating that often but this movie is an exception. I remember I watched this a year after it came out on Redbox and wasn't expecting much from this (I mean, this is Adam Sandler we're talking about). What I was given wasn't a movie; it was an unforgettable disgrace filled with potty humor, pointless cross-dressing, unbearable accents, painfully humorless Latino jokes, cringe-worthy sequences, a vomit-inducing romantic subplot, and the world's worst acting. It was the first film to win every category of the Razzies for a reason. |

| I hate Adam Sandler/Jim Carrey movies. They're so try-hard it's not even funny. |
| I only have a few 1/10 movies seen (trying to avoid coming across movies that bad as much as possible) and I'd say Human Centipede, Disaster Movie and Jay & Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie are the worst of the worst for me. Disaster Movie is just the most painfully unfunny and awful comedy I've ever seen, and the other 2 are just absolutely gross. |
| The departed, definitely. It's beyond me why this movie was critically acclaimed. I thought it was straight garbage in story, characters, acting. Aside from one scene I was completely numbed by it. What bugs me is that I don't even hate it, I just find it so meh, lackluster and unmemorable and generic cop story but people saw something special in it apparently. |
 |
| Deadhunter: Sevillian zombies I mean, something really serious happens when this is the best scene: It's cringe-inducing, like a home video flick made by somebody who believes he's funny and constantly tries to appeal to the bizarre, to the comedy of "hey this is so awful it's actually good", and yet, makes every joke in it so forced and you become frustrated because everything in it is a double failure: as a legitimate story and as a joke. This shit was excruciating to watch and I can't blame myself enough for knowingly letting my brain suffer through this severe drain. |
| There are a lot of hideous movies, especially between B movies like Surf Nazi Must Die or Birdemic. Other than that, the worst I've seen are Ian Stone, Tamara and What Planet Are You From?. |
| I don't really know what my least favorite film is, actually. I typically try to forget I've seen them. But if I had to pick, it'd be these three: The Host for being so goddamn boring and pointless, I only watched it because I promised Mom I'd watch it after she watched Vision of Escaflowne with me; Frozen for its lackluster animation and story because it was clear they rewrote the script halfway in production, and its over-exposure of "Let It Go" which was strong in the film but then lost that power afterwards; Genesect and the Legend Awakened for pissing all over fans alike and Mewtwo as a character, and the team just making stupid decisions and statements overall when the film was coming out. The latter's the only one that's actually made me the most angry I've ever been at a film, I hate it more than Frozen. |

| Oh that's easy, Red Zone Cuba or Hercules Vs the Moon Men. Also Pumaman... and Manos... and The Beast of Yucca Flats. And anything adam sandler ever made... and Lord of the Rings... and Superman Returns... and Surf School... and Spykids 3... and Avatar... and anything paris hilton... and last, but certainly not least... The Star Wars Holiday Special! |
| How to fix the review section, detailed here The average reader (HS level) reads at about 200 WPM. So a 500-800 word review should take 3-5 minutes to read. That's an acceptable length for something you're interested in spending 25 minutes to 4.5 hours of your life watching. Oh, and ANN requires any and all reviews to be 800-1200 words, no matter the length of the show. |
| Lost in Translation with Bill Murray. Most boring, unfuniest thing I've ever seen. It's the reason why I don't trust rotten tomatoes' reviews. They gave it a really good rating despite it being so bad. |

They gave it a really good rating despite it being so bad. There's a fair amount of fans for that film actually, it's name is kind of iconic in the West it seems (plus it has Bill Murray). I wasn't huge on it on first viewing, though that may change later, but I thought all of what it had to say about relationships, the characters and their emotions was all laid out pretty directly and it felt like all surface level insights. To be fair, RottenTomatoes uses an aggregate rating, so it's about what percentile of people gave the movie a decent score (which sometimes they screw up). There's some low rated movies that have some outspoken and detailed arguments likely here and there, like some misjudged classics and such, you never know. Meanwhile there's stuff like Crash that won best picture but most people now consider it an extremely awful movie. May want to try IMDB or Metacritic for actual ratings averages, Letterboxd for user scores and reviews or find good reviews or trust-worthy critics you tend to agree with, might find a new fave. |

They gave it a really good rating despite it being so bad. I kind of liked Lost in Translation. I guess that if you like Bill Murray, you would like Lost in Translation. It's impregnated with the vibe and kind of humor typical of Murray. Emotionless, cynic and snarky. Personally I can't say I really love his style, but it's not bad either. I overall enjoyed it and it left a good, if a bit bitter, aftertaste. Also, Hibiki is one of my favorite whisky. "...Make it Suntory time" That scene is awesome, especially for an anime watched who can grasp the dialogue. |

| The one that comes out of my mind right away is Jack and Jill, Cinderella (2015) and Twilight. I like Adam Sandler but that was shit. |
 |
| My most hated film--> Human Centipede 3, don't watch it!! |
| Braveheart. Far too many reasons to mention, but that film is the biggest pile of rubbish I've ever seen. |
 It's not whether you can or not. You just do it. |

What was wrong with them? Just what I said, I had a problem with the screenplay and pacing of the first movie. That's not something that could be described in further details. You can agree or disagree, but that's how it felt to me. I don't want to start a semantic debate every time I criticize a movie. |
| Seems like a cop out, but k. |
|
| How can it be a cop out if no one ever claimed to be making an in-depth criticism? People aren't responsible for that just by talking about a movie. |
Popka said: How can it be a cop out if no one ever claimed to be making an in-depth criticism? People aren't responsible for that just by talking about a movie. How does someone even claim they are making an indepth criticism? since this is a forum there is always an implication of discussion, and discussion can't happen with everyone just saying statements and moving on without the responsibility to expand on them beyond a sentence, hence me calling it a cop out. |
|
| By criticizing something at length, or (less probably) saying that's their goal. I object to the use of the term "cop out" because that means they're dodging responsibility, and even if there's an expectation of discussion on a forum, there's no obligation. Other than that I agree with you in that I don't see how someone can say something is wrong with the "screenplay" and not be able to explain that in more specific terms. |
| The flow of the narration is mainly a responsibility of the screenplay. So, the screenplay is to blame when the pacing isn't completely satisfying, although the direction plays a role, depending on the approach of the director. Anyway, I really hate the approach of forumers to discussions, so full of sophistry and salt. I don't find anything wrong on voicing out impressions about a movie, everybody has their own vision and taste about aesthetics, style and themes. I find it silly to ask to justify the impression one has of a movie. Everybody tries to legitimize their taste, so they expect me to do the same, but I just don't share that point of view. Because of this approach, most of the discussions on the forums are far from being healthy. They're theoretical confrontations of abstruse opinions, not for nothing there's never a proper conclusion to their reasoning. A complete waste of time and effort. I just try to keep my opinions simple and subjective, because the confrontation of subjective opinions, without the presumption of objectiveness, is the only way to have a proper and fruitful dialogue. What I would like from a forum is people sharing their impressions, comparing common interests in themes, styles, directors. Asking for recommendations. Pointing out what they liked or hated about a movie. There is nothing to justify. |
| 21 jump street is one of the movies that i didn't get why ppl so like it |

| The worst movie I've ever seen so far is The American, with George Clooney. I don't even know what they tried to do with this movie, but that is the first time I asked my mother to go out of the theater before an ending. Nothing happen during the entire movie, there is no plot, nothing. |
| All of Kubrick's films, actually (and respectfully). A Clockwork Orange was especially garbage, though. The Shining was horrible, compared to its novel. I still don't know how Kubrick fucked up all of his works, though. But of course, I should add in my opinion. It's just my perspective, after all :) And of course, Kubrick is not popular outside of popular cinema, anyway. So, I really don't know if it's a proper answer or not. |
| Damn. Can't say if it's sarcasm or not. Why are you doing this to me, danker. |
| All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, Jal :^) I certainly don't dislike Kubrick, but I think we can agree that he certainly wasn't perfect — even though he always searched for perfection. I adore 2001 and Paths of Glory, but I can say nothing more. When I said bad things about A Clockwork Orange and The Shining, I certainly wasn't kidding; those words reflect my feelings, truly. I certainly appreciate the message in A Clockwork Orange, but I can't help but deny, and never thought highly of it and never have. Even though, I haven't read the book, I certainly never have as well; oh dear, the bias is too strong! As for The Shining, I have read the book and, I can safely say that it is bad; like really bad. But of course, it's not healty to compare a book to a film, so I can't say anything about this. Though, this won't change my feelings about the film. I never liked the film from the get-go, anyway. And I just looked at your ratings about those films and, unfortunately we can't seem to agree about these, so I can't say anything else as well. Okay, let's not talk about these, but oh dear, could you please tell me —even though you haven't seen it yet— what was wrong with Lolita? Like the epitome of bad work. Disaster; disaster, indeed! Yeah, he tried; he certainly tried so, so hard! But, that won't easily work, hehe. You can't adapt a phenomenal work easily. How could you? It's not Kubrick's fault, anyway. Half sarcasm and half reality, hehe. It is more fun this way, anyway ;) I absolutely can accept that Kubrick is good; but I certainly can't accept that Kubrick is phenomenal. That's tooooo much :) |
| Freddy Got Fingered. Horrible, horrible excuse for a comedy as its brand of dark humour is unpleasant and obnoxious. |
Take care of yourself |
| Counting only films that received a theatrical release I would say The Marine, The Expendables, Sweeney Todd, & Spider-Man 3. Of course, this is just my opinion and I would be glad to elaborate on why for each movie if asked. |
| Update: It's now The Garbage Pail Kids. One of the most deplorable things I've ever seen. Awful acting, amateur costumes, abysmal "humour" and irritating characters are just the tip of the fucking iceberg. |
Take care of yourself |
| Anything made by these hacks: Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer Their products are actively offensive. |

| Knock Knock - worst movie I've ever seen so far. Like what was the motive for doing such terrible things ? Transformers Revenge of the Fallen - forgettable villain, two super annoying, rapping autobots that served zero purpose, terrible humor, Sam's (Shia La Boeuf's) roommate and his mother were super annoying. Cloverfield (not Clovefield Lane) - the first person viewpoint with the camera while the guy was running made me nauseous. |
 |
| Out of the 1,070+ movies I've logged on Letterboxd (at this moment), I only have fourteen 1/2-star ratings (equivalent to 1/10). That's even fewer than 5-star ratings, which only have 34, so a 1/2-star rating truly is remarkable from me. Out of those 14, several of them are extremely entertaining in their badness such as Fateful findings, Catwoman, and Ratatoing. But the absolute bottom of the barrel for me has got to be Doogal. It's the most unfunny, trite, annoying piece of garbage that film has ever put out. It's not even watchable ironically, that's how bad it is. When your movie is worse than Computer Beach Party, you really know you've got something special. A bad special. |
| @Thedude3445 Yeah, used to watch Doogal all the time as a kid because it was always free at the theaters in the mornings. Even then, I wasn't a big fan of it. |
| Midori has one sort of good scene, but the rest of it is so gross, unpleasant and unnecessarily cruel that I hate almost every second of it. Not the worst movie I've seen, but likely my least favourite. |
