The worst movie you have ever seen in the Cinema

What is the worst film / most crappiest experience you've ever had in a cinema ?

I'll start. I remember watching the zodiac. I was immature and didn't really understand it-- but it was the most boring film I've ever seen in the cinema.

A few years later I watched Never Let me go. The atmosphere at the end was highly depressive

I'm another one who thought of Vanilla Sky as soon as I saw the thread title. Just staggeringly bad but in such a pretentious way.

Pearl Harbour was pretty awful too.

And even longer ago than that, something with Mel Gibson being a pilot. He may have been dead or a time traveller or something, I can't remember. We left.

A Kung-Fu film in Italian, in Italy.

Worst film I’ve seen? Sex and the City 2. On a plane, and the entertainment system had broken so it was the only thing showing! Aargh!

In the cinema? Inception. What a load of old bollocks. A stupid film pretending to be clever.

OP I watched Never Let Me Go on another plane trip - I was travelling back from LA to London on packed redeye, and the only people who seemed to be watching it we’re me and the girl next to me. When it finished we both just sat there in utter desolation.

Sorry for autocorrect typos! I really should turn the damn thing off.

Runforthehillocks · 07/01/2022 20:36

As astra. My mate actually did fall asleep, it was so boring.

NewYearNewMinty · 07/01/2022 20:36

Vanilla Sky...just WTAF?

Found the Snoopy Movie really disappointing too.

NewYearNewMinty · 07/01/2022 20:37

Haha...didn't read the whole thread, I see I'm not the only one

StormyCornishSeas · 07/01/2022 20:38

A series of unfortunate events. I had loved the many books and the fact that they squeezed all of them into one movie felt like some sort of treason

Didn't rate La La Land

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 07/01/2022 20:40

The Blair Witch Project. The only time I have ever walked out of the cinema. I went to the pub instead.

LibbyL92 · 07/01/2022 20:41

Supersize me.

I was 11. And I think it was a 12.. we got asked for ID spent ages arguing we were 12. Finally got let in. Started watching it it thought ‘what the heck is this’

Went back to the counter and told them we were 11 and wanted our money back… 😂

SquirrelFan · 07/01/2022 20:41

I forgot two more - The Clouds of Sils Maria-one character disappeared halfway through and noone mentioned it - and Diana.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 07/01/2022 20:43

I'm not counting Beverley Hills Chihuahua, which was as execrable as it sounds, because DS1 wanted to see it and I was prepared; I took my knitting...

PosiePerkinPootleFlump · 07/01/2022 20:44

Titanic. Just fucking drown already so this is over

Close encounters of the third kind. Utter drivel.

GuybrushT · 07/01/2022 20:48

Oh I agree with so many of these! But the stand-out for me has to be A.I. Horrendous.

Don't ever read the book then whatever you do - Dh nearly had a heart attack when he walked in on me just after I'd finished that book - he thought someone in the family had died! I couldn't breathe I was crying so hard!

Letsnotargue · 07/01/2022 20:51

@Strawberrycreams4eva

I totally agree on the Thin Red Line. I was talked into going because I like John Cusack, who died in the first 5 minutes. There kept being scenes where the camera would zoom out from a beach until it was in the far distance and there would be a profound voiceover and I was convinced it was the end. Nope, they’d switch scene and it would start again. It felt like the film lasted about 3 days.

@Changingtheweather

Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons Misogynistic identical twin gynaecologists, drug fuelled murder, “mutant”reproductive system opening instruments... Only film I’ve ever walked out of.

Apparently it’s one of the Top Ten Canadian films

OMG Dead ringers. What a truly terrible film. It took me years before I could watch Jeremy Irons and not think of it.
fuckyourpronouns · 07/01/2022 21:10

Lord of the rings. I was so incensed that It just ended when I was dying for a piss for ages I never saw the others

Once upon a time in Mexico. Left after 30 mins.

KurtWilde · 07/01/2022 21:14

Only went to see The Thin Red Line for Jared Leto and he bloody well died in no time flat. Zoned out after that.

Also Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I went with a date and he cried and then made a fuss about crying and didn't I think it was great he could show his emotions? Well yeah but was it tears of sadness or boredom? Bit of both I imagine. That's 9 hours of my life I'll never get back or however long it was.

CheeseandWine91 · 07/01/2022 21:15

The last Scary Movie that came out, omg awful. We weren’t the only couple to walk out let’s just say…

I’ve seen some shockers.
Safe House - spent most of it on my phone I was that bored
Nacho Libre - boring
Tropic Thunder - boring
Brokeback Mountain - I was too young I think
Fifty Shades - just cringe
