Wimbledon - so bad my maths teacher turned it off after 5 minutes
Angus thongs and perfect snogging - just girls chasing boys - worst plot line ever

Mamma Mia

The Dark Tower.
A superb series of books by Stephen King reduced to:
Idris Elba totally miscast and bloody awful ( as usual ). Anyone who thinks he should be James Bond should be forced to watch this shite on a permanent loop,
Mathew McConaughey looking like he realized what a pile of shit he signed up for so didn't bother trying.

Purplejay · 01/12/2018 18:29

Black Swan and the recent King Kong are two of my worst that spring to mind immediately.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 01/12/2018 21:40

I love coming to America and lost in translation Grin

Zoo lander 2 was shameful though . Who spent money on that Envy

festivedramallama · 01/12/2018 21:47

The aquatic life of Steve Zissou - absolute dog egg.

JustDanceAddict · 01/12/2018 22:08

Ted - couldn’t finish it. Did not see point.
Pauline Brown or whatever it was called - Tarantino one - saw it in cinema and fell asleep. DH liked it.
Anchorman

JustDanceAddict · 01/12/2018 22:16

(Was Jackie Brown)
Also don’t like Love Actually, La La Land or any LOTR film (it’s not my thing anyway).

alwayslearning789 · 01/12/2018 22:23

So surprised no one has mentioned 'Meet The Spartans'..... Dire!

Bad Moms 2
BAD SANTA 2
BACK TO THE FUTURE 2

margaritasbythesea · 01/12/2018 23:33

Lloyd cole - Grin they must have been really wasted.

GallicosCats · 01/12/2018 23:38

Some pretentious nonsense called The Object of Beauty, with John Malkovich mumbling his way through.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the film). The book and radio series are classics, the TV series is dated but OK, but the film is utter tosh.

Was also terribly disappointed by Brokeback Mountain. Beautiful camera work, deathly dull plot.

GabsAlot · 01/12/2018 23:50

dont know how people can say im sure i wont like so aand so

wellu dont know so dont mention it

has anyone said sky captain utter drivel

i loved ted but thenagain am a massive family guy fan

nicenewdusters · 01/12/2018 23:57

Mamma Mia - from the few bits I've endured it was like watching your aunts and uncles putting on a musical in the village hall.

Syriana - no clue what was happening, at any point.

The Human Centipede - flicked through it on Netflix as i'd heard so much about it. What kind of mind comes up with stuff like that?

Arthur on the Rocks 2 - loved the original Arthur, great cast and jokes. This one looked like it had been put together at gun point.

Anything with Jason Statham in - world's luckiest man to be an actor.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Quite apart from not liking the storyline, I hated the stereotypical female leading character, completely incapable of doing anything when in a scrape apart from screaming for help. (I really liked the first and the third films, I wouldn't know about 'The Crystal Skull' as I haven't seen it.)

RayRayBidet · 02/12/2018 10:00

@Lizzie48 I agree Temple of Doom is the weakest of the original 3.
However it is the one where Harrison Ford was at his physical peak so I can't write it off completely. The banquet scene is v funny for kids.

Vampiratequeen · 02/12/2018 10:52

Halloween 3, was really boring, the plot made no sense and I'm still not really sure what it was about.

The Blair Witch Project, turned it off after about 20 minutes, which is very unlike me, I will watch even a rubbish film all the way through to see how it ends, but I was so bored I just couldn't.

Friday 13th (the original) turned that off after 15 minutes, I predicted every single bit of those 15minutes, got bored and turned it off.

GabsAlot · 02/12/2018 12:26

sorry bttf2 is a classic voted one of the best sequels ever made

GabsAlot · 02/12/2018 12:47

omg forgot downsizing dont even bother

Lizzie48 · 02/12/2018 13:33

@RayRayBidet

Yes that's a redeeming feature, that was when he was at his best, like in the Witness. Re the Indiana films, my favourite was The Last Crusade, because of Sean Connery being in it, he and Harrison Ford make a good double act, as father and son. Raiders has a strong female lead. That's where Temple of Doom is so weak.

Annandale · 02/12/2018 14:17

I am pretty picky these days so nothing from recent times. I would include Hancock, one of Will Smith's many poor choices, but not fair as I only watched 4 minutes of it.

Nine Months. Deservedly forgotten shiteflick of the 90s. 'OMG my girlfriend [WHO BTW IS JULIANNE MOORE AND I SHOULD WORSHIP THE GROUND SHE WALKS ON] with whom I have regular sex is pregnant and I as a grown man find this both shocking and deeply traumatising as I may be prevented from living a life of total self-indulgent consumerism'. [90 mind-blowing boring minutes later] 'I am willing to start being an adult now. That's it.' Tom Arnold shows why Roseanne dumped him. Also contains Joan Cusack, her agent should have done a rugby tackle to prevent her reaching the set, it's a permanent stain on her filmography.

Notting Hill. Obvious but it's SO bad, incoherent, boring, cliched, offensive and clunky while also being a proper film with a budget and stars and everything. I have rarely seen two actors have less chemistry than Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. I actually prefer Love Actually despite that being appalling as well, because it's at least slightly funnier though more offensive, and the different storylines thing allows the incoherence to have a purpose. There's not much in it though. I always wondered if Martine McCutcheon made billions somehow and funded the movie, how is she in a lead role in anything??

....Witness..... 🤤

KarenWhite29 · 02/12/2018 15:01

Lost in translation
Anything Men in Black

Arrowfanatic · 02/12/2018 15:03

Mad max, the recent one with Tom Hardy. We turned it off after 30 minutes it was dire.

The revenant with DiCaprio, it was diabolical and dull.

Vicky1990 · 02/12/2018 15:03

Dunkirk.
Over hyped and utter crap.

War horse.
Utter crap and over hyped.

Don't think I will ever go to the cinema again.

ChodeofChodeHall · 02/12/2018 15:05

Trolls. Featuring my three very worst celebrities: Anna Kendrick, James Corden and Russell Brand. It was even worse than the Emoji Movie!
