Worst movie of 2013?

The Wolverine and it isn’t close. I was on a hot date during the movie and I still spent part of the movie getting concessions. I would have preferred a documentary on the Japanese train system, since that’s what most of Wolverine was to me.

Oh, all right. I’ll admit it. Despite many quibbles, big and small, I mostly liked it.

Wow. That’s… kind of depressing. A lot of good movies I meant to see but never got around to.

I rarely see a movie I hate, because I do my research (ask around with friends, read reviews, check rottentomatoes and IMDb) before I go. Of those I saw, though, probably either The Butler (plodding, a bit dull, terrible casting for Eisenhower and Nixon) or The Great Gatsby (frenetic, poor soundtrack choices) were my least favorite. Neither was bad, as such, though.

I would add R.I.P.D. to the list.

“The Heat” in a close tie with “Elysium”.

Hermione - you are not alone.

What made it so bad? i don’t know anyone who saw it, but heard it was awful.

I have looked at the list of all movies and will now add some I forgot.

The Last Stand - this was Schwarzenegger’s return as the lead. It’s terrible and totally dull. It sucked big time.

Jack the Giant Slayer - entirely forgettable. Nothing at all worthwhile. Yes, I saw the one directed by Brian Singer, not the Asylum fakey.

GI Joe Retaliation - I hated the first one. Why did I watch this? To be fair, it’s better than the first one, but it still sucks.

Much Ado About Nothing - Yay! Joss Whedon made a quick movie between Avengers! Booooooo! It sucked and was a terrible adaptation of the material. Waste of talent all around and easily the worst thing Whedon has made. :frowning:

Loved World War Z, though I have not read the source material. It would make my list of top movies of the year(though it may not crack the top 10).

Loved Olympus has Fallen!

I didn’t see it, but let’s see here:

Okay I’ve read enough. Seriously though, for me, RR is a sign that I probably won’t like the movie. I also have a list of actors that will make me watch a movie even if it looks crappy.

Me too.
Actually, it’s hard for ne to come up with a “worst movie” because if I think I am going to dislike a movie, I just won’t see it. The only movie I can think of that came out last year that I saw and didn’t like was Red 2. I rented that in the On Demand from Verizon FIOS.

This is the End blew chunks, but since I loathe nearly everybody in it I should not have been surprised. Michael Cera did die, though.

It was just very formulaic and not very entertaining. It “borrowed” a lot of stuff from Men In Black but didn’t really do much else. I rented it from Redbox so I was only out $1.27. :wink:

Of the movies I actually saw . . .

Either Old Boy or Carrie. I’d have to rewatch both of them to tell you which was worse and I don’t want to do that.
After looking at that list of films, I realize why Oldboy seemed to me to be so completely unlike the trailer.

I had seen a movie trailer with Josh Brolin as a guy who broke out of prison and hides out with Kate Winslett who helps him. Then I saw Elizabeth Olsen interviewed about Oldboy, a movie in which Josh Brolin breaks out of prison and hides out with Elizabeth Olsen who helps him.
Well, I just merged the two movies in my brain but mostly remembered the trailer I had seen. The movie was nothing like the trailer. Why? Because I had seen the trailer for Labor Day which is a completely different movie about Josh Brolin breaking out of prison and hiding out with a woman who helps him.
:smack:

My least favorite movies of 2013 were:

The Place Beyond the Pines
The Lords of Salem
The World’s End
Much Ado About Nothing

While we’re confusing things, I caught only the tail end of the trailer for Labor Day. From the name I assumed it’s another awful romantic “spend millions on an ensemble cast, didn’t have money for a screenwriter” film, like Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve. I’m still waiting for an Arbor Day film.

Did you see the original Korean film? It’s excellent and I’ve heard that somehow, Spike Lee messed up adapting it.

Any takers for The Counselor? I rarely go to the movies but I see nearly all of them and I somehow got teaser trolled and saw it in the theaters. Many regrets.

I kinda forgot about The World’s End. I had such high hopes going into that movie but I was very disappointed. It wasn’t BAD, it just wasn’t nearly as funny or as good as Hot Fuzz.

Movie 43. It was awfully awful.

As it happens, there was a piece in today’s Parade magazine about that movie. The author visited the set to teach Brolin and Winslet how to make a pie in just the right way for a key scene.

What, Robin Williams as Eisenhower didn’t work for you? It was so inspired, I’m surprised it hadn’t been done before. :stuck_out_tongue: I didn’t think The Butler was bad, but it wasn’t great. When the Oscar nominations came out and lots of people were, like, “OMG, Oprah got snubbed!” I wondered if they actually watched the movie, not to mention the other nominated performances.

I’m like those other folks who say if they don’t think a movie looks good, they don’t go see it. This was kind of a down year for me anyway, moviegoing-wise, so I don’t have much personal input into what I think was the worst film of the year. My in-laws walked out of RIPD, if that means anything (although I believe my father-in-law was expecting more Rooster Cogburn out of Jeff Bridges … I was stunned he even wanted to buy a ticket for RIPD in the first place).
