What's the worst film you've ever watched? Think I just melted my brain...

...by watching Spy Intervention on Prime. It has Drew Van Acker in it of PLL fame and I was looking for something a bit easy, he's pretty (I know, I know, very high brow of me) and dear GOD it was terrible. I may have to burn my own eyes out - was it a romance, was it a comedy? Was it just fucking terrible? yes, yes to the latter.

I can't quite believe I kept watching until the bitter end, I think I was expecting something to happen that would explain why it was so bad?

What's the worst film you've ever watched?

PS: DVA WAS pretty in it. Very. But it still wasn't enough to save it.

Nobody? I’m willing to bet nobody has watched this film either it was that bad

A three-way tie between The Age of Innocence, No Country for Old Men and Avatar.

I thought it was 'Titanic', then I sat through 'Pearl Harbour'.

Michael Bay should be on trial in the Hague for that.

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 21/03/2023 00:28

Apologies

Technically 'Pearl Harbor', because there's apparently a centuries long shortage of vowels in the States.

Gravity was an absolute load of shit. Ditto Blair Witch and Prometheus but Gravity was the worst.

Thunder Force 😬 worst two hours of my life.

The Country Bears

OooPourUsACupLove · 21/03/2023 00:37

The Lake House or the last John Wick movie.

Sorry Keanu, you've done some good stuff but those two are stinkers!

Saw a Gerard Butler film where he plays a successful prosecution attorney. A criminal takes revenge by killing literally everyone GB has ever met. It got to the point where if you’d sold him a book of stamps in 1998, you’d be fucked. So bad I don’t want to name it in case someone is tempted to watch it.

also…

Mamma Mia. Can’t get over it. Watched from between my fingers.

Is this the one with Saul? My DH and DD watched it, I had to leave them to it. Love him though 😍

"The Bad Batch"

If you've never heard of it, don't bother going looking.

I once read an online synopsis which was along the lines of 'stupid woman with ridiculous accent wanders around the desert doing dumb shit before she gets eaten'.

Pretty much sums it up, and is a lot kinder to the movie than I would have been.

Lovingmynewbicycle · 21/03/2023 00:45

That Everything whatever it's called - the one that swept all the Oscars........WTF...

FictionalCharacter · 21/03/2023 00:47

Moulin Rouge

SirenSays · 21/03/2023 00:48

A movie called Dog. I actually looked up to see if the dog died before I agreed to watch it. By the end, I wouldn't have cared if both the dog and the main character kicked the bucket the movie was SO boring.

SouperWoman · 21/03/2023 00:49

Seven. absolute pish

Amadeaa · 21/03/2023 00:52

Midsommar (might be in the minority with that one)

Moulin Rouge

Just coming on the say exactly the same.

Went to the cinema to watch it. I'm still cross I spent money to see that stupid film

RafaellaOrDella · 21/03/2023 00:54

The Mountain Between Us. Nobody involved got further conceptually than 'Idris Elba in knitwear'. Which is a good start, but you still need, you know, a script.

GulfCoastBeachGirl · 21/03/2023 00:57

That Quentin Tarantino crapfest "Kill Bill". Like having a Brazilian wax, a root canal and a colonoscopy one after the other.

MakingTheVeganYorkshirePud · 21/03/2023 01:02

Triangle and another vote for No Country for Old Men.

RobertsRadio · 21/03/2023 01:03

Moulin Rouge was pretty dire, but the absolute worst film I've ever seen is an Australian film called Monkey Grip released in the early eighties, apparently from a book of the same name. The story and the acting was dire.

Omg the first 2 in your list are great films!

NameChangeObvsx1 · 21/03/2023 01:06

Everything Everywhere All at Once. The most overhyped film of the 21st century.

TooBigForMyBoots · 21/03/2023 01:06

Bastard Smurfs Movie.

Ditto Alvin and the fucking Chipmunks.
Blair Witch Project.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
