Movies so bad you couldn't even finish them
 

Lets all list movies that were so bad you couldn't even finish them. This will give folks a heads up on what films to avoid at all costs.

I'll start...

Gerry - Hands down the most boring film I've EVER seen. It stars Matt Damon & Casey Affleck and its basically just them wandering through out the desert. ****in awful movie. I cant believe the same guy that directed Good Will Hunting and My Own Private Idaho directed this garbage. Avoid at all costs!

Gangster Squad -I couldnt believe how dumb this movie was. The script was terrible as well as the dialogue. And i couldnt believe that all those awesome actors (Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn , Josh Brolin) even agreed to do this shitty film.


Valkerie - THis is the worst Tom Cruise film I've ever seen. I walked out of the theater with about 45 minutes to go it was so stupid and boring. Basically its just a bunch of close up shots of Cruise talking on the phone to other people. Very little suspense or action in this.

Cosmopolis - I Looooooove David Croenberg films but hated this one. Easily his worst film. It stars that Twilight dbag and he cant act worth shit. They should of cast Joseph Gordon Levitt or someone that could actually act for Christs sakes.

Pearl Harbor - Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?

Wanted

A.I.

JOTTOMH...

Carrie 2 - Pointless. Just bloody.

Lincoln - Same quality dialogue as the History Channel

The Aristocrats - Got a lot of hype. Really wasn't funny.

Batman and Robin

I've tried 3 times to finish it. Can't do. Awful, awful, mind-numbingly loud and stupid movie.

Oofta. That's a bad one.

Dick Tracy with Warren Beatty and Madonna is the only movie I've ever left the theater halfway through.

The never ending story. Seriously, my mom thought it I liked it or some shit, I don't even know WTF it is about.

Sliding doors
Proof

Both with Gweneth Paltrow-that is not a coincidence.
Cant stand her to this day.

Both were videos at home, but ICK!!!

Should have walked out on "midnight in the garden of good and evil'

Watchmen. Made it to the blue dong then walked out if the theatre

Actually, I've never finished this movie either... but I attempted to watch it on a plane.

It wasn't a bad movie, I just wasn't in the mood at the time for it.

I need to go back and watch it.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the first movie that comes to my mind. I HATED that movie. Couldn't finish it. Had high hopes. Pissed me off.

"The Adventures of Jake Speed". I walked out of the theater and walked into the one next door and watched the second half of "Terminator 2" (which I'd already seen).

"Glengarry Glen Ross". **** ****ity ****ing ****er ****. That was pretty much all I got out of it.

Recently: "Oz". Detested it.

Too many to name. Most recently, Lords of Salem. Big Rob Zombie fan, had high hopes for it but it was dreadful.

Ooh! Forgot about that one! Me too. I walked out midway after she wandered next door and stared at the neon crucifix.

The last movie I actually walked out of the theater on was the Assassination of Jesse James. Had I been by myself I might have stuck it out, but I was with my wife and a female friend who just went because Brad Pitt was in it, and they were both clearly miserable. Painfully dull and slow, although I did finishing watching it later and it got somewhat better toward the end.

Royal Tennenbaums - holy shit. I wanted to murder every single one of them. Lasted 20 minutes. Deal with people like this in real life, even just a little, and you won't want to watch a movie about them. Unless they all get slowly tortured to death by a chainsaw weilding psychopath. Which I assume didn't happen.

The Thin Red Line. I have yet to meet a person who liked this piece of shit - just critics whom I suppose were all highly compensated for their gushing reviews. Everybody I ever talked to about it either quit watching after the first hour or wish they had quit watching after the first hour. A war movie without war. Sort of like a porno where everybody stays dressed and just have voiceover thoughts of ****ing. Ugh.

I had to be physically restrained from walking out on Moonstruck. Another critically acclaimed piece of crap. I tried to watch it later thinking perhaps I was just in a bad mood that day - nope, it just sucks. Maybe you have to be Italian to get it. Or drunk. Or reeruned. Or all of the above.

I certainly wish I had walked out on Batman and Robin. And Tango and Cash, for that matter. And Gods and Generals. Oh my God. How could the same people who made Gettysburg make this piece of crap? It was like a boring high school history lecture.

Oh, and Urc Berry - you're a ****ing heathen. Watchmen was brilliant.

It seems like every time I see Jim Caveziel in a movie, he ends up getting his ass kicked someway, somehow. Gets killed in The Thin Red Line. Gets his ass brutally beaten in Passion of the Christ. Was tortured/whipped in the Count of Monte Cristo. Every time I see him on TV, I think to myself, "it's just a matter of time before this innocent-faced man gets his ass kicked."

Gods and Generals was INTERMINABLE. I almost fell asleep during it. Ironically, it's worth staying to the end -- or fast-forwarding to the end -- for the death of Stonewall Jackson. IMO, that's the highlight of the movie. Stephen Lang gave a fantastic performance. But it takes over 3 hours to get there.

Some of the movies in here are WTF. Some really quality ones being named, and shouldn't be.

The last movie I couldn't finish was from Netflix called Wasted on the Young. Boring.

There was probably about an hour of decent movie buried in there. Unfortunately, it was lost amid three hours of endless, sappy, preachy, violin-accompanied monologues. I knew something was amiss when Chamberlain's wife droned on forever before he even left the house.

Battlefield Earth. Batman & Robin.

Gone with the wind.

My wakefulness was gone with the wind.

People talk about this like it's on the same level with classics like Casablanca or Citizen Kane and I want to slap them. Way, way, way too long. And God I hated Scarlett. Did Vivian Lee sound that annoying in everything she did? Fran Drescher's voice isn't that bad. Fiddle-de-dee? Fiddle-de-**** YOU BITCH SHUT UP. It would have been much better if Rhett had shot her in the face at the end.

Which, if you're watching it with commercials, comes about five hours after the movie begins.

4321

The Lost World

When Jeff Goldblums black daughter starting doing gymnastics to fight off dinosaurs, I started doing laundry.

I think I made it about 30 seconds into gone with the wind.

And here I thought Gone With the Wind might be controversial.

Nacho Libre
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

ah, thanks for reminding me.

Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter goes on the list, too. Just terrible.

hahaha

For its time it was spectacular. But it has not aged well, IMO.

I think that Holy Man might be the only movie that I have walked out of the theater.

Here's the thing about Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The book was ****ing awesome. The movie could have been just as awesome....but they went with all action and skipped the ****ing build up that the book had. In the book....you could understand WHY Lincoln hated the vampires....it took a couple of chapters of build up. In the movie.....5 minutes in and it wasn't even the same ****ing thing. ****ing disappointed.

It can't be worse than The Running Man book/movie comparison.

Agreed. Everything clever and cool about the book was replaced by Matrix ripoff action sequences and 'splosions in the movie. It was nearly Dune-level butchery.

I've never read the book.....so I couldn't really compare them. This book/movie translation ****ing sucked though......hardcore.

I made it about ten minutes into Elf.

The Room. Just the worst movie ever. I swear it was written by an 12 year old.
Hereafter was a close second.

The Expendables
The Burbs
Mullholand Drive
Men In Black
Independnce Day

Hey! **** you, guy.

What the **** man? I actually liked "The Burbs".

I don't get the Running Man hate, but I never did read the book. Typical campy Arnie, and Richard Dawson basically playing an evil version of his gameshow persona was great.

Oh come on. By the time they got to that ****tarded monster truck finale I wanted to stab somebody in the face with an icepick.

After Earth.

The Day After Tomorrow.

The 1st time I saw Rocky 4, I left the theatre sobbing when Apollo Creed died and did not return. Does that count?

I thought I would too. but man...I made it about a half hour into it. maybe it got better after that?

The only movie I've ever walked out of was Eyes Wide Shut.

The worst movie I've ever seen was Short Cuts. I became physically angry watching that.

I would have relatively few to list because I am probably far too prejudiced in selecting films to potentially watch. I can zoom through hundreds of choices on Netflix and never even be tempted to select something.

You have to embrace the essential terribleness of that movie. The dialogue is so bad and the plot is so implausible that I wonder if the director actually made it as an ironic critique of 80s action films.

Of course, you are talking to someone who would teach a seminar in 80s action films if such options were allowed to me.

The book is brilliant. And nothing like the movie.

Oh....and I've never EVER walked out of the theater. All of the movies that I've stopped have been on DVD and at my house. I don't go to the movies as much as normal people do. For me to go to the theater....it has to be a movie that I really want to see and know that I'll like.

YUP

Same here. Dumbest ****ing movie scene ever. And the saddest part was that it didn't even help that it was only a dream.

I dont think Ive ever walked out of a movie in a theater. Ill usually stick it out if not at least to make fun of it.

Agreed. JB cracks me up most of the time but that was just terrible.

C'mon, Tango and Cash is a fun movie. It doesn't take itself seriously.

"I wish I could be as forgiving, but I can't. Because ... this whole thing ... ****ING SUCKS!"

Now, Cobra ... that SUCKED, because it took itself way too seriously.

Haha. What exactly did you expect of that movie that would push you to start watching it but not finish it?

Never walked out of a theater.

I once rented The International starring Clive Owen and shut it off after 30 minutes. Boring, boring, boring, boring ****ing movie.

I don't go to the movie theaters much lately since alot of people seem to forget the "turn off your cell phone" and "please don't talk during the movie" messages. It seems everyone wants to play Siskel and Ebert during the movie. So I mostly watch DVD's at home...some I watched recently and feel like I wasted my money:

The latest Die Hard
Hansel & Gretel (was hoping for better but got the same disappointment as I did from Snow White & The Huntsman)
The Great & Powerful Oz
Gangster Squad
Red Dawn (I actually liked Marine 3 with The Miz more than I liked this movie)

Amongst the older movies..

Battlefield Earth
Anything with Nicolas Cage (Other than the original National Treasure)
The Warrior and The Sorceress (if you have seen this movie you are older and none the wiser)
Cloud Atlas

I loved him in Kick Ass.

...cuz he burned

Cobra sucks, but it has my favorite Stallone line - where the guy threatens to blow up the supermarket, and he says "That's okay, I don't shop here." LMAO

Exactly.....did you go into this shit blind? Never see the cover?

Will Ferrell in an Elf costume? This shit is going to be riveting.

10 minutes later......WHAT THE **** IS THIS SHIT!??!?! I WAS EXPECTING A SERIOUS MOVIE!!!!

Not a big Nicolas Cage fan, either. He generally annoys the crap out of me even when he's in good movies.

His best performance (and best movie) is Lord of War.

Matchstick Men was good.

I liked Cage in Raising Arizona.

Grown Ups, and somehow they're making a second one.

Last one I recall actually physically walking out on. But then I've been on the home theater tip for quite a while now.

That is a classic, sure there's lots of cursing, but its a supreme work of screenwriting.

Ill second Watchmen. What a piece of shit borefest that was..

This thread is a fine example of why there needs to be so much content created. People are very very different. I absolutely love some of the movies others hate, like The Thin Red Line, and Assassination of Jesse James, and Short Cuts. To each his own proves very true for entertainment, I guess!

I walked out of Bonfire of the Vanities.

That movie was whacked. I finished it, but don't really take any pride in doing so.

I'm honestly not sure I've ever walked out on a movie. Think we probably feel like we paid we should watch it 'til the end. There's quite a few that we SHOULD have walked out on. Where the Wild Things Are is the one that leaps to mind first. Even the kids didn't like it.

HA nice. I put down the book. I was on page 200 or whatever and realized I hated every character and didn't give a crap about any of them or the plot. Time to move on...

Sideways was an awful movie. I made it about 20 minutes.

Good call, I forgot about that one. I think I lasted half an hour.

I'm not a big Will Ferrell fan, but at least "Elf" had Zooey Deschanel in it. :hump:

I loved Watchmen. I am surprised at the number of mentions it has gotten.

Uhhh, HELLO NEWBS!

Cage's best flick was obviously CON AIR!

I've never walked out of a theater.

But, I couldn't finish Royal Tennenbaums, or Hunger Games.

I didn't care for it. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't my favorite. And goddamn, Malin Akerman is alleyway-porno bad as an actress.

I finally watched the Hunger Games recently. I didn't think it was a bad movie, but I found the subject matter (children murdering other children for sport) to be very disturbing. Which is the point, I guess, but still it was pretty offensive. I'm very surprised by the amount of teenie-bobber types who get all gushy over it.

You liked Tango and Cash, but didn't like Watchmen?

Dude.....
