I must say that’s the first time I’ve ever seen this movie on a
“Worst of” list!
Also, I loved “Master of Disguise”…for some reason everything Dana Carvey does cracks. me. up!
That’s how I rank them too. Raiders was a better movie, but I enjoyed Last Crusade more.
Not to mention (whichever Waylans brother that was) playing his role straight from the Amos 'n Andy school of acting. Takes a lot of effort - in a film featuring elves, dwarves and orcs - to make skin-based racism rear its head.
I try to not see bad movies and use Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, but I dont always succeed. Lets see:
-
For Your Consideration - Old misanthrope neurotic takes in teenage girl and they both learn a life lesson? Really?
-
V for Vendetta - As a lifelong comics fan, I still dont understand why Hollywood would take this pretentious tough-guy adolescent blow shit up fantasy and turn it into a movie.
-
Pirates: At World’s End - Three hours of nothing. Im tempted to put the first one on there but it was wacky, silly, and much better paced. This was just a whole lot of nothing.
-
Funny People - I wanted to like this and I did like the first half, but the rest was fairly terrible. This could have been a genius film about the life of comics, instead a movie about a midlife crisis and the girl who got away.
-
The Hulk (Ang Lee) - Really, nothing of value here.
-
Transformers.
-
Waking Life - Yeah, I loved the animation, but its like hanging out with not especially bright stoners.
-
A Serious Man - Err, did this have a point or a story or anything to say? I guess its supposed to be a slice of life but its really not worth watching.
-
Both Meet The Parents - All of Stiller’s mugging for the camera and silly gags couldnt save these movies.
-
Lost in Space - So much wasted money.
Wasted 1990s money. Not made this decade.
You guys have got to be joking. Crystal Skull better than Temple of Doom???
Temple of Doom was a big pile of suck. I have watched Crystal Skull a couple times on Blu Ray and will likely watch it again. I haven’t watched Temple of Doom since the 90s and have no desire to watch it again.
Ah, thanks for the heads up. Then I will substitute the Matrix sequels. They must be the worst case of the sophomore slump in cinema.
No way, man! The bugs and monkey brains for dinner? The raft out of the plane? Molaram pulling a guy’s heart out and it bursting into flames? That one had some of the best action sequences in the entire series! Crystal Skull, IMHO, had alot of promise and it was cool seeing Indy operating in the 50’s…I was even open to the alien thing (as a kind of homage to 50’s sci-fi b-movies), but it just ended up feeling like a parody of Indiana Jones movies that somebody else made. It was the “Never Say Never Again” of the Indy series.
I have to admit, Temple Of Doom is my favourite Indy movie. I quite enjoyed the darker feel. It only needed Marian to make it perfect.
In theaters, I generally go to indie/arty stuff and avoid the blockbusters, aside from some Apatow comedies and the occasional superhero flick. So these were the ones I was most disappointed by:
There Will Be Blood
Garden State (should be called “Emo Whine”)
The Departed
Inglorious Basterds
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (I like Tarantino, I swear)
Synedoche, New York
Land of the Lost (saw it on a plane)
(500) Days of Summer
Crash
Requiem For A Dream
These aren’t necessarily bad movies - but they are the films I watched and hated.
Sin City
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
The Musketeer
The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford
Chicken Little
The Cat in the Hat
Donnie Darko
Sunshine
Ultraviolet
The Mist
I’m a little surprised no one has mentioned I Know Who Killed Me. Or was I the only one suckered into watching it?
Silent Hill. I know you shouldn’t expect much from video game movies but Christ, what a train wreck.
Aeon Flux was another movie with a promising universe to draw from that just collapsed. There’s also another futuristic movie with bad CGI that had a pink haired girl doing terrible action scenes but I can’t remember the title.
That was Ultraviolet. And that one’s on my list too.
Yeah, these are really terrible films, and I’ma let you finish, but Tom Green had one of the worst videos* of all time!
*Freddy Got Fingered
I hate hate hate In Bruges. Okay, Brendan Gleeson’s a good actor and he was good in this, but apart from that couldn’t stand it and can’t see why people like it.
Might I suggest all the Harry Potter films? Of all the kids in the world they chose ones who couldn’t act and can’t learn how.
No, actually those were all horrible and laughable action sequences that I rolled my eyes at the first time I saw them in a theater.
I would put this movie on my top 10 list, not my bottom 10.
