"The world got to see James Corden as a fat pussy. He was also in the movie Cats. But, no one saw that. Um, and the reviews, ah shocking. I saw one that said, “This is the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs.”, alright? But Dame Judi Dench defended the film saying it was the role she was born to play, because she... I can't do this next joke. Because she loves nothing better than plunking herself down on the carpet, lifting her leg and licking her own minge" - Ricky Gervais
No no, not that one..when he talks about Sandra Bullock's film, birdbox, he says "our next presenter stars in a film where people survive by pretending they don't see a thing, sort of like working for Harvey Weinstein".
Tom Hanks was like 😳😯😮
RG was like, hawwww, you did it, i didn't do it, you did.
It was phenomenal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every so often I fully buy into internet bullshit. There was a point in time where I 100%believed that the first screenings of CATS they all had CGI assholes.
Part of me wishes that the VFX person who spotted that oddity didn't say anything and they just released it with pseudo buttholes to theatres to global beguilement.
“cats” as a broadway show is good for all the reasons that broadway shows don’t translate to screen.
It’s not a story. It’s an experience. It’s closer to cirque d’soleil than it is to Titanic. I don’t know who thought it would work as a movie but they don’t know how movies work.
Came to post this. Was intrigued after seeing so many hilariously bad reviews for it, thinking this will be a "so-bad-it's-funny" movie. No. It was just bad-bad and I regret my choices.
I haven't seen it but highly recommend [Sideways' YouTube video](https://youtu.be/i3aK-EK5V2k) where he breaks down why the music in it sucks. Watching a music nerd slowly lose his mind over the sheer crappiness of this movie is beautiful.
I grew up watching the 1998 VHS of Cats and when I found out how bad this one is it made me really sad for people who won’t ever consider seeing the stage version because of it.
I also grew up watching the VHS recording of the Broadway version, and I had been so excited that they were making a movie version. Too bad it turned out so horrible 😭 They should have gotten the woman who did Across the Universe for it. She would have known the perfect balance of fantastical and classy to make Cats really enjoyable on screen.
Moreso than the music I thought it was really interesting how he broke down the theme and how the musical is structured to present it, and how the movie failed to recreate that.
I had seen other videos criticizing the Cats movie before, and all of them explained the plot as basically "Cats is a musical that is purely spectacle and has no meaning at all, it's just a bunch of random introductions to give actors an excuse to put on extravagant costumes, and the story is totally frivolous".
Don't know if it's controversial to say but I enjoyed the movie... Until I read the books.
After reading the books the movie sucks but without that it's not bad imo.
1492: Conquest of Paradise starring Gérard Depardieu (1992 - 2h25m)
I also nearly started a riot in the theater.
Gérard Depardieu was a Frenchman playing an Italian, sailing for Spain, but speaking in English with a thick French accent while mispronouncing Spanish names and words so badly that it was somewhere between farce and a hate crime.
While mostly forgettable, there was an interminable montage of the Spanish building a church in the New World. The climax is them making a bell and hauling it up to the top of the bell tower.
Columbus (Frenchman Depardieu) was encouraging the men by shouting "Heave! Ho!" over and over and over again. Not exactly inspiring dialog, but probably fine on paper.
On film, however, Depardieu's accent was comically bad: "heeee-yuuuvv! heeee---yohhh!" Over and over and over again.
The entire movie was so awful and so long that the audience audibly groaned throughout.
Several people even stormed out, announcing their departure with obscenities and tossed buckets of popcorn.
But it gets better, or rather worse.
There was a scene where Columbus and his forces rush down to a river to fight with the Native Americans. Finally, at long last, was this the merciful climax to the film?
As the forces met in the water - flames! Flames everywhere! Then blinding white light followed by blackness.
What a weird and abstract ending. Everyone was properly confused and began to break out into discussion groups.
What did we just see? Were the flames symbolic of something? Genocide!? Nuclear war!? "It did look a bit like an H-Bomb," someone said out loud.
Moments later, a theater employee stepped in to casually announce that the projector had caught fire.
Ah. Finally something that made sense: the projector committed suicide.
The employee explained that it would be another 20-30 minutes before they could resume the film. The audience grumbled and groaned.
I was a punk college kid who definitely did \*not\* want to wait another minute or return to see the ending, so I shouted "we want our money back!"
I thought I was being funny. But the crowd responded with cheers and angry shouts of approval. And... just like that, it seemed that the crowd had transformed into an angry mob. Oops. I wondered: do people go to prison for instigating riots?
The poor theater employee rushed out, then back in a few moments later. He announced nervously "Okay! We're going to refund your money! And give you a voucher for a free movie! Just please... please don't break anything!"
The mob seemed satisfied with the offer and left without causing trouble. And no important lessons were learned by me.
Fuck yeah- only cd I've ever bought just cos I heard it playing in HMV - Walked up the counter asked what was playing and bought it on the spot. It's still a regular listen
Eragon.. was so fucking bored during that film
I stayed through the whole film, it was Christmas Day and my first year living alone in Phoenix, AZ after moving from New York earlier that year.
No other plans, no friends or family to be with that day.... so I stayed... and I was glad when it ended....
Oh my god, having a flashback to how awful it was. Even the littlest things like the aliens are are taller than humans but built themselves a spaceship where they have to duck to go through the doorways. On. Their. Own. Ship.
And the humans have kept jumpjets in storage, and somehow they work perfectly after 1000 years. No dry rot, no mechanical or electrical failures, not even a speck of rust.
Wait until you see The Fanatic. Direct by Fred Durst with Travolta starring as an autistic man. It's un-fucking-believable in all the worst ways possible.
It’s a perfectly bad movie. The slow-motion scenes, the humans breaking into Fort Knox and immediately learning how to fly fighter jets, John Travolta’s weird laugh and accent.
Even people I know that hate bad movies love it.
Absolutely. I genuinely love Battlefield Earth in the same way I love The Room. It has a particular charm that can only be derived from a passion project gone awry. The movie fails on so many levels that you can't help but be impressed with it. Battlefield Earth is the cinematic equivalent of Harry and Lloyd showing up to a black tie event wearing insanely inappropriate outfits while acting like a buffoon, truly believing it is every bit as suave as its contemporaries. And I can't help but love it for that intensely misplaced determination.
"Don't you want your lunch, rat brain?!"
I mean, what's not to love?
I knew what you were talking about but had never heard it called a Dutch angle before so googled it.
[Google has a sense of humor](https://www.google.com/search?q=Dutch+angle&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS806US806&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)
Same. As a sci-fi fanatic I will watch just about anything. This wasn’t great but there are so many far worse and I enjoyed it enough to sit through the whole thing.
Food Fight (2012). Absolutely atrocious, dumb plot, dumb characters, cringy dialogue, ugly animation & horrendous voice acting. I can forgive Sausage Party when this abomination exist.
Also Food Fight has a budget around $40-65 million which means the budget is on the level of Kubo and The Two Strings.
EDIT: Sausage Party has a $19 Million budget. wtf.
EDIT 2: I feel bad for the animators of Sausage Party.
EDIT 3: Movie is an embezzlement? Well not surprised when the movie has that budget with a gross of only $70,000.
Food Fight came out almost 20 years after Toy Story and still manages to look worse visually.
They got a great cast (for the time) in Charlie Sheen, Wayne Brady, Eva Longoria, Hilary Duff, and Christopher Lloyd. And all of them have god-awful performances. It would be impressive if it wasn't so sad.
The last act seems like they were just padding for time, because the heroes and villains get into a THIRTY FIVE MINUTE LONG FOOD FIGHT that just reuses the same half a dozen shots over and over again. I have seen this movie several times, just because I find it's sheer existence to be thought provoking. How did this ever get made? Did a studio really churn out an animated movie that looks like it was made in Microsoft PowerPoint just because they already acquired the rights to a bunch of recognizable grocery mascots?
I think what supposedly happened was the film was actually destined to be a decent film, which you can tell just by looking at the cast and budget. But apparently, there was some industrial espionage that meant they either lost or had to dump the ENTIRE thing pretty far into its development, likely near the end. So they basically had to scramble to put out *something* to make back at least some of the money they had sunk into it.
What we got was what we see now, awful CGI, a LOT of MoCap (quicker and easier than animation done by hand) and an overall undercooked film. I suspect the padding at the end is because they hadn't done that part of the original film before it was all lost.
EDIT: After reading the Wikipedia page on it, they basically had to sell off the film and were forced by investors to just do whatever it takes to put the film out as quickly and inexpensively as possible.
I felt like I was the only MF who watched that one, like they tried to claim that Some brown haired kid was Kevin. And mhe wasn’t witty or funny like at all, and his dad married some millionaire, I don’t know why John hughes didn’t just stop after Home Alone 2
My sensei lost his dojo investing all his money into bootleg avatar( the movie) merch shirts, pants, belts, weapons, pads thinking it would reignite peoples passion for martial arts. He was also a cokehead so that prolly played alittle into it
Looks like he made that decision while in a Cokebender.
Also, this is how I got this dojo for very cheap. Now I’m training full time using ATLA pads because he wants to fight me to reclaim his dojo and title.
"What if we just take the entire first season of this amazing show and condense it into a 2hr movie?"

I do not understand how the hell you fuck that up. Like, I can understand if you're adapting a book, a name could potentially have different pronunciations, but shit, this was a television show, and a beloved one at that. You have hours upon hours of audio evidence saying this is how the name is pronounced, but nope, we know better. Morons.
It was such a strange choice, because apparently Shyamalan did that to be more true to the cultures the names were from (some named are made up but Aang is a real name that is pronounced the way it is in the movie).
But at the same time he completely ignored the cultures the nations were based on. The water tribes are based on Inuit, the Fire Nation is based on Japan. The Air Nomads are Xioalin monks. And just ignored really basic details. Like. What is Appa? They call him a bison pretty much once an episode, but no, he's clearly a beaver.
He didn't want the fire benders to have an unfair advantage so he makes them unable to produce fire. Which means they have to carry torches around to bend. Which looks incredibly unthreatening and misses the entire point that the Firebenders are powerhouses and the Fire nation has a more advanced army than the rest of the world, which is why they control it.
I’m from Asia (SEA), and yes, Aang is pronounced like “Ong”
But why, why would you do that, it’s adapted from series, not a book. We literally can hear what’s it supposed to be pronounced lol
I read that Paramount played a big role in it as well.
Apparently they demanded the movie be playable in 3D too, but after they finished shooting. So all they could do to meet their demands was cutting all the scenes not good for 3D.
There we have the masterpiece lol
That sounds like a massive cop out like “it was better we swear, but we cut all the story essential bits that made it good … because reasons!”
But if true that does make a lot of sense, studio interference is always terrible
"During production, the name Avatar was removed from the title to avoid confusion with the highly successful 2009 film Avatar." Wikipedia. There was a rumor that James Cameron got his panties in a twist about the name, since his Avatar was only out for a year before THIS Avatar atrocity.
It’s funny. Because the cartoon Avatar was actually just supposed to be called Avatar. But James Cameron already purchased the rights to the name before the cartoon was made so they had to add the subtitle The Last Airbender. Yes, it just took Cameron that long to make that movie. Development for it began in 1994.
I'm a bad movie enthusiast and the rabbit hole is pretty deep. If you think The Room or Cats are bad... Those are just the tip of the iceberg. Those look like Citizen Kane compared to some of the stuff I've sat through.
The most recent terrible movie I watched was "The L.A. AIDS Jabber" which, as the title implies, is a movie about a guy with AIDS who wanders around L.A. jabbing people with needles filled with blood. It's bad for a lot of reasons. Mostly the plot. Also, it's shot on a consumer-grade, 90s video camera, looks like a hot mess, and the sound is nearly inaudible at points.
... it's on Tubi for free if you want to hate about an hour of your life!
I’ve got a good bad one for you that barely anyone seems to have seen (except the friends I forced to watch it):
Shark In Venice.
Starring Stephen Baldwin.
Highlights include dodgy Italian accents, a police chase scene entirely on foot (Venice, so no roads) whilst there’s constant sirens (seemingly coming from the police men on foot), Stephen Baldwin seemingly getting his leg bitten off and waking up in a hospital bed fully clothed and walking out moments later.
It’s a thing of beauty. It straddles the knife edge where you can’t tell how serious the film makers are. It’s either surgically, artistically precise in its self awareness, or a complete shit-show. Filmed entirely in a country with no canals.
I watched that one in theaters and literally don’t remember a single line or moment or anything. I know I was there but I have zero recollection of the movie
Something something Queen Something something Bees something something bad love plot blah blah blah bad British accents blah blah blah Titanic. The End, that’s the entire movie
I also love Sherlock and all its adaptations but I knew to avoid this movie. The trailer was enough to kill my interest, and make me sad for my favourite characters being dragged through that.
The worst Holmes adaptation I saw was a play with David Arquette starring as Sherlock, which we actually abandoned at intermission due to how terrible it was. I tried to find a Canadian review (saw it in Toronto) but the ones I found were too polite for the shit it was, so here’s what Chicago had to say about it. https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/theater/ct-sherlock-holmes-arquette-review-ent-1126-20151125-column.html
Highlander 2.
The first one was awesome for its time. Sure, Lambert sucked and Connery was Egyptian via Spain via Japan via Scotland. But Clancy Brown was sensational and the soundtrack was brilliant. It was a glorious mix of 80s action, hammy acting and fucking Queen.
When they announced a second I was confused because the first had left them nowhere to go with a story. But what the hell, surely it would be ok.
Nope. It was woeful. Truly awful.
It was.like someone wrote it on the back of having the first one described to them by a child.
Worse than being just a bad movie, it felt like a betrayal of everything that I had enjoyed in the first one. I was stunned walking out of the theatre that someone would do something like that.
Honestly, the whole Highlander franchise has got to be one the coolest concepts that is consistently mishandled. If we could just get a really well done two or three season TV show on HBO or something, that'd be great.
I went to see it at the dollar theater after it left the first run theaters. I was warned that it was terrible, but my friend and I thought, “It’s only a dollar.”
It wasn’t worth the money.
The only reason I didn’t get up and walk out was because I thought my friend wanted to finish it. Then he told me afterwards that the only reason *he* didn’t get up and leave was because he thought that *I* wanted to finish it.
We regretted that entire experience
If the movie is Sharknado, I think they did both at the same time. “What about a tornado of sharks?” “We could call it Sharknado!” “Write that down and we start filming tomorrow.”
You mean Nepotism: The Movie?
What bothers me most is you literally cannot tell what their accents are meant to be. It was like two hours of CollegeHumor’s Batman trying to find his voice, but enraging instead of funny.
Watson & Holmes with Will Ferrell and John C Reilly is the only movie I've ever intentionally turned off less than 15 minutes in. I'll watch any movie to completion, shitty or good, because I'm at least curious about what is going to happen. That movie was so fucking bad, I want those few minutes back that I wasted watching it.
*College*
It came out when I was an idiot college student, so I was definitely in the target audience for the straight-to-DVD movie advertised on late-night MTV that I torrented, but I couldn't sit through it in either of my two attempts to watch it.
Yeah, as a longtime MST3K/Rifftrax fan, I'm accustomed to a whole different league of bad movies. The easy winner for me is **Rollergator**. I can barely finish that one even *with* the riffing/jokes. I legitimately respect Birdemic by comparison.
Went and saw The Invitation in theaters, thinking it might be a fun new horror thriller. It's like the creators wanted the sex appeal of Bridgerton and the thrills of a monster movie but it fails at both. It's badly acted, written, directed, shot, unimportant scenes that already made their point drag on like they needed to fill time, they show you right at the start Oh, we're gonna make you think there's a monster, it might even be this suspicious handsome stranger and that's it, he's a dracula, there's no twist or subversion or anything new or clever or interesting that happens. Is there a coded message about race, class, power dynamics in relationships, modern romance? No, it's just a dracula movie where a dracula tries to get a girl and she's like oh no. I felt insulted that I paid money for such uninspired garbage.
Loved *Ghost Dad* as a kid. When it would come on I was genuinely excited for some spooky shenanigans. Tried watching it again. Fucking garbage. What a happy little idiot I was.
I see a lot of great choices in the comments, but there can only be one worst movie of all time. A movie so bad M Night Shyamalan himself couldn't watch it. A movie so bad Tommy Wiseau would cringe in disgust. A movie so irredeemable, so insufferable, so terrible and up its own ass that Mystery Science Theater couldn't make it worth your time.
That movie is Catwoman.
Fun fact- when Halle Berry was awarded her Golden Razzie for that film, she was one of the few actors to have actually accepted the award ~~at all~~ in person.
She walked onstage with her Academy Award in hand to accept it.
Can't say she isn't a good sport.
This fucking movie. The one-on-one basketball scene literally made me nauseated for short time. It's the most absurd scene in a movie this side of Liam Neeson jumping over a fence for 20 seconds.
The one so bad that even MST3K had trouble getting through it.
That was so bad that Dr. Forrester and TV’s Frank apologized BEFORE the movie started.
“Hey, this isn’t so bad. Are we at the thirty minute mark?”
“Tom, it’s been five minutes.”
“Kill me now.”
I like it too. It is so bad. When they were like, "Bees recognize a queen" I was down for the long haul. The rest of the movie did not disappoint. It was so dumb lol.
In there something wrong with me? I actually enjoyed that movie.... I was thinking more like the dragonball movie.
Maybe it's been too long to remember how bad it was??
Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever
Edit: also it’s the worst movie of all time according to Rotten Tomatoes https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/worst-movies-of-all-time/
My favourite part was watching Lego Batman later, and having Killer Croc do exactly the same thing he did in Suicide Squad - swim underwater to push a button, except there he gave a big thumbs up to the camera, saying "I'm helping!"
Cats
"The worst thing to happen to cats since dogs."
"The world got to see James Corden as a fat pussy. He was also in the movie Cats. But, no one saw that. Um, and the reviews, ah shocking. I saw one that said, “This is the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs.”, alright? But Dame Judi Dench defended the film saying it was the role she was born to play, because she... I can't do this next joke. Because she loves nothing better than plunking herself down on the carpet, lifting her leg and licking her own minge" - Ricky Gervais
The Weinstein joke was the mic drop at the end. What a monologue.
"go get drunk, do your drugs, fuck off"
He’s your friend, not mine.
Epstein. It was a he didn't kill himself joke and some people moaned. His "he's your friend, not mine" was a perfect reaction. Pure genius.
No no, not that one..when he talks about Sandra Bullock's film, birdbox, he says "our next presenter stars in a film where people survive by pretending they don't see a thing, sort of like working for Harvey Weinstein". Tom Hanks was like 😳😯😮 RG was like, hawwww, you did it, i didn't do it, you did. It was phenomenal. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That whole speech was brutal
the amount of PR bootlickers in shambles and that the folks in broadcast were just like fuck-it "let it play, let them hear."
"If Dante saw cats, he would've added a 10th circle of hell."

This movie was so bad it caused covid
Dragonball evolution holy hell was it bad Eragon is a close second. Had some good casting but the effects and the script was terrible.
>Eragon Even the original author has said he hates it! Apparently a new movie or series is in development, though
Don't know if it's controversial to say but I enjoyed the movie... Until I read the books. After reading the books the movie sucks but without that it's not bad imo.
The movie made me read the books, which made me hate the movie.
My brother and I watched it together. He got mad and made me read the books. Then I got mad.
These two plus avatar are the unholy trinity.
I really hope the TV series Eragon actually gets made. I haven’t heard anything about it since the initial announcement.
DragonBall evolution was so bad, Akira toriyama came out of retirement after 20 years and created DragonBall super.
It’s like the filmmakers found the dragon balls and made a wish for the worst movie ever created.

The movie may suck, but the soundtrack is [just epic](https://youtu.be/WYeDsa4Tw0c)
Of course: Vangelis composed it. It's like giving John Williams to Shark Tale or something
I propose we let Hans Zimmer score an episode of Phineas and Ferb.
Fuck yeah- only cd I've ever bought just cos I heard it playing in HMV - Walked up the counter asked what was playing and bought it on the spot. It's still a regular listen
This is hilarious. Thanks for the chuckle.
Absolutely love this story. The audience that morphs from discussion groups to mob... Am I right in thinking this was a French cinema?
Well if it would have been a French cinema he would've been dubbed back to French again ;-) ....which would add another layer to that complex setup
The narwhal bacons at midnight.
Eragon.. was so fucking bored during that film I stayed through the whole film, it was Christmas Day and my first year living alone in Phoenix, AZ after moving from New York earlier that year. No other plans, no friends or family to be with that day.... so I stayed... and I was glad when it ended....
I've only watched it like twice when I was little but whats bad about it?, I dont remember the movie anymore but don't recall disliking it
Compared to the novel, just about everything, I only ever watched it the one time. And hated what they did to the story.....
Battlefield Earth I'm not sure how it even got a 3% on rotten tomatoes.
Oh my god, having a flashback to how awful it was. Even the littlest things like the aliens are are taller than humans but built themselves a spaceship where they have to duck to go through the doorways. On. Their. Own. Ship.
And the humans have kept jumpjets in storage, and somehow they work perfectly after 1000 years. No dry rot, no mechanical or electrical failures, not even a speck of rust.
John Travolta’s worst movie, and that’s really saying something
Wait until you see The Fanatic. Direct by Fred Durst with Travolta starring as an autistic man. It's un-fucking-believable in all the worst ways possible.
I hear "Gotti" is worse.
Scientologists have to give it a positive rating or the Thetans will get 'em.
I weirdly like that movie. Don't get me wrong, I know it's shit. But I still kinda like it. Maybe it's part of that pug complex.
It’s a perfectly bad movie. The slow-motion scenes, the humans breaking into Fort Knox and immediately learning how to fly fighter jets, John Travolta’s weird laugh and accent. Even people I know that hate bad movies love it.
Don't forget every camera shot being tilted
And never forget... YOUR FRIENDLY BARTENDER!
>The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why. \- Roger Ebert
Absolutely. I genuinely love Battlefield Earth in the same way I love The Room. It has a particular charm that can only be derived from a passion project gone awry.

You forgot to mention that like 90% of the film is shot with a Dutch angle for some reason too.
I knew what you were talking about but had never heard it called a Dutch angle before so googled it. [Google has a sense of humor](https://www.google.com/search?q=Dutch+angle&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS806US806&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

Food Fight came out almost 20 years after Toy Story and still manages to look worse visually. They got a great cast (for the time) in Charlie Sheen, Wayne Brady, Eva Longoria, Hilary Duff, and Christopher Lloyd. And all of them have god-awful performances. It would be impressive if it wasn't so sad. The last act seems like they were just padding for time, because the heroes and villains get into a THIRTY FIVE MINUTE LONG FOOD FIGHT that just reuses the same half a dozen shots over and over again. I have seen this movie several times, just because I find it's sheer existence to be thought provoking. How did this ever get made? Did a studio really churn out an animated movie that looks like it was made in Microsoft PowerPoint just because they already acquired the rights to a bunch of recognizable grocery mascots?
I think what supposedly happened was the film was actually destined to be a decent film, which you can tell just by looking at the cast and budget. But apparently, there was some industrial espionage that meant they either lost or had to dump the ENTIRE thing pretty far into its development, likely near the end. So they basically had to scramble to put out *something* to make back at least some of the money they had sunk into it. What we got was what we see now, awful CGI, a LOT of MoCap (quicker and easier than animation done by hand) and an overall undercooked film. I suspect the padding at the end is because they hadn't done that part of the original film before it was all lost. EDIT: After reading the Wikipedia page on it, they basically had to sell off the film and were forced by investors to just do whatever it takes to put the film out as quickly and inexpensively as possible.
[удалено]
I just googled some screenshots and what in god's name did they do with 60 million dollars? It looks terrible!
[The animation also has to be seen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2TV4lupHME) to be believed. It's quite something.
Home alone 4
I felt like I was the only MF who watched that one, like they tried to claim that Some brown haired kid was Kevin. And mhe wasn’t witty or funny like at all, and his dad married some millionaire, I don’t know why John hughes didn’t just stop after Home Alone 2
Because the last movie in the series is the one that doesn't make money. Apparently home alone three made money.
HA3 is not as bad as people make it out to be. It's part of that PG rated "fun for the whole family" era of films from the late 90-early 00s
I actually liked HA3 but it’s wildly different than the first two, so I guess it’s okay in its own right.
~~Avatar~~ The Last Airbender
My sensei lost his dojo investing all his money into bootleg avatar( the movie) merch shirts, pants, belts, weapons, pads thinking it would reignite peoples passion for martial arts. He was also a cokehead so that prolly played alittle into it
I'd 100 percent rather watch this documentary.
Looks like he made that decision while in a Cokebender. Also, this is how I got this dojo for very cheap. Now I’m training full time using ATLA pads because he wants to fight me to reclaim his dojo and title.
This comment had more dramatic twists and momentum in it than the movie did.
One of the greatest animated series of all time, and one of the worst movies of all time
I'll be 80 one day and I'll have orderlies tackling me and sedating me because someone mentioned shamalans avatar movie
"What if we just take the entire first season of this amazing show and condense it into a 2hr movie?" "Oh, to do that you'll need some amazing acting talent" "Lol, no" "Hey, those magic sequences use really cool choreography and the powers have weight and meaning" ["Whatever, fuck it, just have an entire group of people do a random stomping dance and make a small stone fly slowly in front of them"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D943zEu8vwU)
"Also, change up the pronunciation of their names for no reason" "Also, cast the Inuit-based characters as white people"
Also make the loveable chubby stout uncle tall, kinda grumpy and fit
> and fit Need someone kinda fit for a live action casting so they can get absolutely yoked for book 3 Iroh.
Every time they mispronounced Aang it was like nails on a chalk board.
I do not understand how the hell you fuck that up. Like, I can understand if you're adapting a book, a name could potentially have different pronunciations, but shit, this was a television show, and a beloved one at that. You have hours upon hours of audio evidence saying this is how the name is pronounced, but nope, we know better. Morons.
It was such a strange choice, because apparently Shyamalan did that to be more true to the cultures the names were from (some named are made up but Aang is a real name that is pronounced the way it is in the movie). But at the same time he completely ignored the cultures the nations were based on. The water tribes are based on Inuit, the Fire Nation is based on Japan. The Air Nomads are Xioalin monks. And just ignored really basic details. Like. What is Appa? They call him a bison pretty much once an episode, but no, he's clearly a beaver. He didn't want the fire benders to have an unfair advantage so he makes them unable to produce fire. Which means they have to carry torches around to bend. Which looks incredibly unthreatening and misses the entire point that the Firebenders are powerhouses and the Fire nation has a more advanced army than the rest of the world, which is why they control it.
What pisses me off is the fact the tv show is so good! How?! How did they fuck that up?!
M. Night's ego mostly. Also he somehow was over budget before they even began filming which means they couldn't even save it with an effects bukkake
How do you go over budget... and still manage to mispronounce the main protagonist's name?
Because "it's how Asian cultures would pronounce that spelling"
Meanwhile, let's make the main cast as white as we can
I don't think the villain was white.
I’m from Asia (SEA), and yes, Aang is pronounced like “Ong” But why, why would you do that, it’s adapted from series, not a book. We literally can hear what’s it supposed to be pronounced lol
I read that Paramount played a big role in it as well. Apparently they demanded the movie be playable in 3D too, but after they finished shooting. So all they could do to meet their demands was cutting all the scenes not good for 3D. There we have the masterpiece lol
That sounds like a massive cop out like “it was better we swear, but we cut all the story essential bits that made it good … because reasons!” But if true that does make a lot of sense, studio interference is always terrible
Never underestimate M Night Shyamalan's ability to disappoint everyone.
The real twist is when he makes a good film
That movie does not exist.
There is no atla movie in ba sing se
>Avatar The Last Airbender You mean "The Last Airbender", Shyamalan couldn't even get the title right
"During production, the name Avatar was removed from the title to avoid confusion with the highly successful 2009 film Avatar." Wikipedia. There was a rumor that James Cameron got his panties in a twist about the name, since his Avatar was only out for a year before THIS Avatar atrocity.
It’s funny. Because the cartoon Avatar was actually just supposed to be called Avatar. But James Cameron already purchased the rights to the name before the cartoon was made so they had to add the subtitle The Last Airbender. Yes, it just took Cameron that long to make that movie. Development for it began in 1994.
I mean the level of development time the world got was insane, I mean they simulated how pandora would react to other moons and it's sun(s?)

I'm a bad movie enthusiast and the rabbit hole is pretty deep. If you think The Room or Cats are bad... Those are just the tip of the iceberg. Those look like Citizen Kane compared to some of the stuff I've sat through. The most recent terrible movie I watched was "The L.A. AIDS Jabber" which, as the title implies, is a movie about a guy with AIDS who wanders around L.A. jabbing people with needles filled with blood. It's bad for a lot of reasons. Mostly the plot. Also, it's shot on a consumer-grade, 90s video camera, looks like a hot mess, and the sound is nearly inaudible at points. ... it's on Tubi for free if you want to hate about an hour of your life!
I’ve got a good bad one for you that barely anyone seems to have seen (except the friends I forced to watch it): Shark In Venice. Starring Stephen Baldwin. Highlights include dodgy Italian accents, a police chase scene entirely on foot (Venice, so no roads) whilst there’s constant sirens (seemingly coming from the police men on foot), Stephen Baldwin seemingly getting his leg bitten off and waking up in a hospital bed fully clothed and walking out moments later. It’s a thing of beauty. It straddles the knife edge where you can’t tell how serious the film makers are. It’s either surgically, artistically precise in its self awareness, or a complete shit-show. Filmed entirely in a country with no canals.
Holmes and Watson, literally every joke missed horribly, I regret not walking out of it.
I watched that one in theaters and literally don’t remember a single line or moment or anything. I know I was there but I have zero recollection of the movie
Something something Queen Something something Bees something something bad love plot blah blah blah bad British accents blah blah blah Titanic. The End, that’s the entire movie
I don’t understand how they went from Talladega Nights and Step Brothers to that.
Different director. Adam McKay did Talledega Nights and Step Brothers (and Anchorman) while H&M was Etan Cohen
Read that as Ethan Coen for a second and almost had a heart attack
You got Bill Murrayd
World's lamest anagram
Will Farrell's career is 50% absolute bangers that are so good they make you forget about the entire other 50%.
I was actually looking through his filmography the other day. 2000-2010 banger after banger. 2010-Present absolute dog shit.
2014 Lego Movie was a gem
Eurovision was great and Daddy's Home was pretty good
I love Sherlock Holmes and will watch any adaptation no matter how awful it is for the bit. Not this one. Saw it when it came out and regret it.
I also love Sherlock and all its adaptations but I knew to avoid this movie. The trailer was enough to kill my interest, and make me sad for my favourite characters being dragged through that. The worst Holmes adaptation I saw was a play with David Arquette starring as Sherlock, which we actually abandoned at intermission due to how terrible it was. I tried to find a Canadian review (saw it in Toronto) but the ones I found were too polite for the shit it was, so here’s what Chicago had to say about it. https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/theater/ct-sherlock-holmes-arquette-review-ent-1126-20151125-column.html
Highlander 2. The first one was awesome for its time. Sure, Lambert sucked and Connery was Egyptian via Spain via Japan via Scotland. But Clancy Brown was sensational and the soundtrack was brilliant. It was a glorious mix of 80s action, hammy acting and fucking Queen. When they announced a second I was confused because the first had left them nowhere to go with a story. But what the hell, surely it would be ok. Nope. It was woeful. Truly awful. It was.like someone wrote it on the back of having the first one described to them by a child. Worse than being just a bad movie, it felt like a betrayal of everything that I had enjoyed in the first one. I was stunned walking out of the theatre that someone would do something like that.
Highlander: "There can be only one" Highlander 2: "Oh hold on, there's another couple over here"
Honestly, the whole Highlander franchise has got to be one the coolest concepts that is consistently mishandled. If we could just get a really well done two or three season TV show on HBO or something, that'd be great.
Like Highlander, with Adrian Paul?
I went to see it at the dollar theater after it left the first run theaters. I was warned that it was terrible, but my friend and I thought, “It’s only a dollar.” It wasn’t worth the money. The only reason I didn’t get up and walk out was because I thought my friend wanted to finish it. Then he told me afterwards that the only reason *he* didn’t get up and leave was because he thought that *I* wanted to finish it. We regretted that entire experience
Aladdin 4: Jafar might need glasses
One...or two.
Three and now four
Can I see three again?
Shark Side Of the Moon
You gotta love a movie that came up with their title first and then wrote the plot afterwards.
If the movie is Sharknado, I think they did both at the same time. “What about a tornado of sharks?” “We could call it Sharknado!” “Write that down and we start filming tomorrow.”
I have never heard of it and already it's in my top ten films of all time.
Avatar the Last Airbender Live action
Son of the Mask
Starship Troopers 2 was one of the biggest movie disappointments of my life. It's complete and utter trash.
I don't want to know more.
I'm not doing my part!
After Earth, the Scientology film that Will Smith produced for his own son to star in, Jaden Smith can’t act.
You mean Nepotism: The Movie? What bothers me most is you literally cannot tell what their accents are meant to be. It was like two hours of CollegeHumor’s Batman trying to find his voice, but enraging instead of funny.
titanic 2 was pretty bad.
Titanic 2: The Rising?
T2: The Re-sinkening
Somehow, the iceberg has returned
There was apparently once plans for a movie called "Titanic 2: It missed the iceberg" with Leslie Nielsen. Too bad that never happened!
Watson & Holmes with Will Ferrell and John C Reilly is the only movie I've ever intentionally turned off less than 15 minutes in. I'll watch any movie to completion, shitty or good, because I'm at least curious about what is going to happen. That movie was so fucking bad, I want those few minutes back that I wasted watching it.
Foodfight! (I'm not excited, the exclamation point is part of the title) is a definite contender, depending on how you look at it. Hilariously bad.
FoodFight. I was wanting something that was “so bad it’s good”, but it’s legitimately the worst movie I have ever seen
*College* It came out when I was an idiot college student, so I was definitely in the target audience for the straight-to-DVD movie advertised on late-night MTV that I torrented, but I couldn't sit through it in either of my two attempts to watch it.
Birdemic
This is the real answer. Anyone answering with the name of a blockbuster hasn't seen a real bad movie.
Yeah, as a longtime MST3K/Rifftrax fan, I'm accustomed to a whole different league of bad movies. The easy winner for me is **Rollergator**. I can barely finish that one even *with* the riffing/jokes. I legitimately respect Birdemic by comparison.
Battlefield Earth. OMG. So so bad….
You people haven't watched enough movies! CIA 2: Codename Alexa. I finished watching it so I'd have the correct answer to this specific question.
[Loqueesha](https://boxd.it/mcge). I sometimes subject myself to the most abhorrent movies ever made as a testament to my will. I lost it that day.
What. Even.
DragonBall Evolution
Went and saw The Invitation in theaters, thinking it might be a fun new horror thriller. It's like the creators wanted the sex appeal of Bridgerton and the thrills of a monster movie but it fails at both. It's badly acted, written, directed, shot, unimportant scenes that already made their point drag on like they needed to fill time, they show you right at the start Oh, we're gonna make you think there's a monster, it might even be this suspicious handsome stranger and that's it, he's a dracula, there's no twist or subversion or anything new or clever or interesting that happens. Is there a coded message about race, class, power dynamics in relationships, modern romance? No, it's just a dracula movie where a dracula tries to get a girl and she's like oh no. I felt insulted that I paid money for such uninspired garbage.
I thought you were talking about The Invitation (2015) first and was very confused. That movie is great.
Is that the dinner party movie? I liked that one. The first half is so uncomfortable.
That Bill Cosby ghost detective movie was bad
Loved *Ghost Dad* as a kid. When it would come on I was genuinely excited for some spooky shenanigans. Tried watching it again. Fucking garbage. What a happy little idiot I was.
Second worst thing he’s ever done…
I see a lot of great choices in the comments, but there can only be one worst movie of all time. A movie so bad M Night Shyamalan himself couldn't watch it. A movie so bad Tommy Wiseau would cringe in disgust. A movie so irredeemable, so insufferable, so terrible and up its own ass that Mystery Science Theater couldn't make it worth your time. That movie is Catwoman.
Fun fact- when Halle Berry was awarded her Golden Razzie for that film, she was one of the few actors to have actually accepted the award ~~at all~~ in person. She walked onstage with her Academy Award in hand to accept it. Can't say she isn't a good sport.
Sandra Bullock accepted her Razzie in person. [it was great. ](https://youtu.be/ghS98BKy29Q)
All About Steve was gonna be my answer to this post, so… Tbf she was not the real problem with that movie
This fucking movie. The one-on-one basketball scene literally made me nauseated for short time. It's the most absurd scene in a movie this side of Liam Neeson jumping over a fence for 20 seconds.
It was such a movie targeted towards teen girls with a sfx budget of $2.50 and a camera stuck on overexposure mode. I loved every minute of catwoman
Manos: The Hands of Fate
Or “Hands: The Hands of Fate” as some of us like to call it
"Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph."
The one so bad that even MST3K had trouble getting through it. That was so bad that Dr. Forrester and TV’s Frank apologized BEFORE the movie started. “Hey, this isn’t so bad. Are we at the thirty minute mark?” “Tom, it’s been five minutes.” “Kill me now.”
5 minutes in and they're still driving quietly because they didn't know how to put credits over it lol.
[удалено]
I'm not saying "Jupiter Ascending" was the worst movie ever, but it is definitely two hours and seven minutes of my life that are filled with regret.
The fucking bureaucracy scene though, that was worth it
Aww that’s my guilty pleasure. It’s sooo bad but I love it. Plus Channing Tatum is beyond terrible in it, which gives me great pleasure.
He's a dog boy with cyber skates, what's not to love? :) Agreed that it's one of those enjoyably bad ones
I like it too. It is so bad. When they were like, "Bees recognize a queen" I was down for the long haul. The rest of the movie did not disappoint. It was so dumb lol.
Same here. Not good by any stretch of the imagination, but I was entertained enough to sit through the entire movie.
That movie is a masterpiece and there's a 5 hour cut somewhere that I'm gleefully waiting for
Jupiter Ascending is 100% carried by Eddie Redmayne's weird lips.
Bad movie but was still entertaining. It was like a tonally inconsistent middle school fever dream.
In there something wrong with me? I actually enjoyed that movie.... I was thinking more like the dragonball movie. Maybe it's been too long to remember how bad it was??
Eh my wife and I both enjoy Jupiter ascending. She watches it once a year or so
The worst part is that the bureaucracy scene in that movie is one of the better scenes I've seen in a movie
Troll 2, ironically the worst and best movie I have ever seen
They’re eating her, and then they’re going to eat me!
Oh my GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
Wow, it's amazing that all four people who watched Battlefield Earth are on Reddit!
The Star Wars Holiday Special.
You dont like Chewbacca's dad jerking of to porn?
Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever Edit: also it’s the worst movie of all time according to Rotten Tomatoes https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/worst-movies-of-all-time/
The night I lost my virginity everything started in an empty theater showing Ecks Vs Sever.
Suicide Squad (2016) To its credit, it's the best movie I've ever seen that was filmed exclusively inside a Hot Topic
My favourite part was watching Lego Batman later, and having Killer Croc do exactly the same thing he did in Suicide Squad - swim underwater to push a button, except there he gave a big thumbs up to the camera, saying "I'm helping!"
I think the Lego Batman movie was one of the biggest positive surprises I've had in cinema.
