Wow. A new champion in "Worst Movie I Ever Saw"! |
|
The Hulk.
Good Lord, what a stinker.
So long, Gigli. Adios, Ishtar. There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is The Hulk.
Took us three nights to finish. Amazingly bad. No redeeming qualities. They could have at least had good looking bad actors for us to look at, but noooo...
Mrs. Robb said "Oh, God, no...they didn't just say that" three or four times. I said "C'mon, dammit! HULK SMASH! NOW!!" a half dozen times.
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad movie.

1. You think YOU'RE disappointed. |
|
I actually bought the damn thing. Right now, it's gathering dust next to "Stranded", which is quite possibly the worst sci-fi movie I've ever seen. (and I've seen 'em all)

2. I don't think it was that bad |
|
However, it did have the lamest reworking of an origin in any superhero film ever.

3. I nominate "My Dinner with Andre," |
|
though friends of mine said they actually liked it.
At least if it was Andre the Giant they could have ended the movie with a thrown folding chair.

They are called movies. Shouldn't something move now and then?

52. Their lips were moving! |
|
It was about the conversation. I loved it. The first time I saw it I rewound it and watched it again.
There's another movie with the same characters called "Vanya of 42th Street"...it's great too and a little more movement.

...called "My Dinner with Bomb-dre". It was a very truncated version of the original, except Bomb-dre had to keep talking, or the bomb handcuffed to him would be detonated.
I wish, more than any wish in my life, that I still had a copy of it.
edit: typo

43. YES! 'Andre' was the most boring movie I've ever seen. |
|
I couldn't wait to see it after hearing the critics raving about it. When I saw it, I couldn't believe how dull it was. I figured they must have liked it because it was the same kind of boring, pretentious conversation that they like to be a part of.

Lawnmower Man II was the worst small-budget movie. LMII was so bad I needed an enema.

We rented this from Netflix last week,
I love out Noir and the credentials on this one looked spectacular. Gene Tierney, Victor Mature. Walter Huston. Mike Mazurki. Maria Ouspenskaya.Directed by Josef Von Sternberg from a John Marquand novel.
Oh. My. God. What a howling dog. It's racist in conception, it's ineptly directed, the dialogue is horrible and the plot makes no sense at all.

Took me 6 genuine wacks to get through that one. She was horrific in it, although Richard Burton was fine. Still, it was a slog. And the boring, monotone flute music was enough to gag on.

"The Conqueror" was filmed near a Nevada A-bomb test site. Unbeknowest to everyone. As a result, everyone involved...John Wayne, Dick Powell (the director), Susan Hayward, Agnes Moorhead...died of cancer later on.

and I'm sorry, but that one gets my vote for WME (Worse Movie Ever). Maybe I'm missing something - and I'm a choir geek from way back, so it's not the fact that it's a musical - but it's definitely the hokiest, stupidest flick I've ever seen. I don't see how anyone could have taken it seriously, even at the time it was made.
In the last decade, I have to say Independence Day is the worst. Hard to top Bill Pullman's presidential go-get-'em speech for lameness, in my opinion - unless, of course, you compare it to a bunch of leave-it-to-beaver-ballerina gangsters, half of whom are wearing dark makeup.

26. I've always thought that movie was a stinker.... |
|
When I saw I as a kid I couldn't figure out why all the people in the movie didn't seem to have jobs or anything since they were obviously, like, 30 years old. It wasn't until much later that I realized they were supposed to teen-agers!
They also toned down some of the more hard hitting lyrics for the movie (not uncommon when musicals were turned into movies back then), especially in the song "America", which in the play was staged as an argument the Puerto Rican women have among themselves about the pros and cons of their their new life. I hate the way the film turns it into this icky battle-the-sexes thing. The original last line of that song is, "Nobody knows in America- Puerto Rico's IN America!"
The one good thing about that movie is the dancing. Just turn off the sound and watch. Its pretty phenomenal.

My nominee would be the Island of Doctor Moreau, the new version with Marlon Brandon. Unspeakably bad. Simply the worst.

One of my favorite authors wrote this clunker, then wrote a great novel (Money) about the process of making the movie. Read the book, then watch the movie and put the pieces together. Fun!

I didn't know that.
Although caliming anybody 'wrote' that is rather generous.
I'd describe it more as 'crapped' by Martin Amis, although I didn't know he was involved.
It was hardly clever; it was Frankenstein in space.

And what's-her-face--Jennifer Connolly--wasn't shirtless either, so straight guys have no reason to see it either.

Edited on Sat Feb-28-04 09:50 PM by MrScorpio
Ordinary joe, fireman type takes on the big bad terrorists.
The Gropenator sees his wife and get blown to pieces and he decides to get even 'cause he's pissed off.
No problem there.
But, instead of being a half-psycho ex-snake eater with a personal arsenal the size of a small Central American banana republic, he's some wimpy fightfighter (which is an insult to firefighters), who "finds out" that an obstensibly non-violent human-rights organization is actually a terrorist front/apologist group operating freely in the US.
At this point I said, you must be fucking me.
When he's goes after the group and like a steroid-laden baby, throws a temper tantrum in the front group's office, I said what's the point?
He's pulled out by the FBI, who knows that these guys are baddies.
I turned it off. I said this is crap. For an Ahnuld movie, that's saying a lot.

Was just about as bad and disappointing as a movie could ever be. There was one good scene in the Hulk...Lou Ferrigno as a security guard talking to the guy who originally drew the Hulk for Marvel Comics. (I can't think of his name, but he played himself in "Mallrats.")
