Worst Movies Ever
- Thread starter Jer
- Start date
Mrs. Velo turned on the TV and The Fifth Element was on - and she left it on! I know it will piss some people off but I thought it was a terrible movie when it came out and it hasn't aged well even from that starting point.
I was in college in the early 00's and I swear every girl I knew loved that movie. That movie and Kill Bill.
One of the reasons I married my wife was because she dislikes the Fifth Element. I watched about 20 minutes of it a few months ago, and it was even worse than I remembered.
I'm sure that i've said it before and I'll say it again: Rian Johnson is the worst filmmaker of all time.
He is my Jar-Jar Binks, singlehandedly ruined the Skywalker Saga for me.
He makes his movies to play tricks on the audience. "Oh, you thought it was going to go this way...? GOTCHA!!!! That character is dead. GOTCHA!!!! The detective already solved the mystery 5 minutes into the movie.
The audience is an observer, not part of the story. I get that he thinks he's being clever.... but it makes for a horrible plot.

I'm all aboard with your dislike of the cringe-worthy Borat, but you're way off base on Napolean Dynamite. It's a different kind of comedy about nothing, sort of like Seinfeld, only with a dead pan delivery. I have a feeling people who disliked the movie are big fans of the Marvel-verse, where one movie is pretty much like the last one. No risks taken, no possibility of failure, no creativity beyond what CGI can give you and new ways to kill the bad guys. Movies like Napolean Dynamite take risks, huge risks, and should be celebrated, not put on a list of worst movies ever.
Twister's plotline is ludicrous. And the scene where the tornado is picking up a fuel tanker semi off the ground but somehow leaves the pickup with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton inside on the ground is comical.
Saw it in the theater originally. The special effects haven't aged well. But I do like PSH as Dusty and the rest of their tornado chasing crew (Alan Ruck from Ferris Bueller, etc) so it's not all bad.
I love NP, but I can totally see why some people don’t like it. Same with Wes Anderson movies. I’m all over the place with those.
Im sure when I say that I don’t like a majority of Tarantino movies people think Im crazy. I just don’t find most of them entertaining.
Napoleon Dynamite was a movie that when it ended I said to myself, "What the heck did I just watch?" But it is strangely addictive.
The sequels, particularly 8 & 9, make the Jar Jar Binks character seem like Michael Corleone in comparison.
Saw it today with the wife. Liked it okay. Florence Pugh being in it definitely helped for me. We have never seen any of the other Avenger movies so that probably would have helped. I'll give it a 6.5-7.
I was surprised because I thought I had read that it was pretty good. I guess people liked that it dealt with mental health issues, but it was a really, really ham-handed approach, with extremely poor editing and the dreadful Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Guess I was spoiled by that gem of a Minecraft.
When I saw this on Reddit, I felt less alone...
