I had to endure the first half an hour of "They" around my mate's house, the girls were shitting themselves for... some reason. While I just sat there covering my ears at the awful acting the main character portrayed at the start of the film. It sucked!
I'd say "you got served", but I haven't actually seen it... thank fook

Some people's films are hardly the worst. Nearly all of em have something going for them, even if they're not very good. Most of you haven't even seen a really bad film.
Someone lent my uncle a film called The Coroner, and it was the first film I refused to finish watching. We got about 15 minutes through, and couldn't bare it anymore.
I'm gonna analyse the one's I've seen that other people have mentioned:
Plan 9 from outer space - Okay, that was a bad film.
Van Helsing - It was no-brain entertainment.
Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions - Better than most people give credit for, but nowhere near as good as the first.
Dawn of the Dead - Wasn't anywhere near bad, it was bloody good in fact.
Kill Bill vol. 2 - Was a great film, I prefered Vol 1, but Vol 2 was great also.
Life of Brian - Was a great film and everyone knows that. Not as good as Holy Grail, but still great.
Shanghai Noon - Yeah, that was pretty crap, but it had a couple of funny bits. Only a couple though.
They - It was shit, yeah, but it had some gore that entertained me.
Teapot: You're asking people for the worst films they've seen recently. "Worst" is an absolute term, not a subjective measure. Thankfully nobody's gone off on a "(title) IS TEH WORSTE FILEM EVAR" spree.
I really really hated The Day After Tomorrow. I just hate movies that don't make any logical sense. Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but TDAT requires you to leave your brain at the door. For example, the chronology is out of order. You see a massive hailstorm in Japan near the beginning, but supposedly the climate crisis starts in the atlantic ocean. Japan is equatorial and on the OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PLANET, so it should be affected last of all. Then there's that ice you see condensing all over the sides of buildings as the large low pressure systems hit. Where's the ice coming from? According to the movie the temperature's so low already that there shouldn't logically be any water vapour in the air by that point. It could be CO2 but the concentration in the atmosphere is too low for a layer of ice so thick you can see it in those wide shots and in any case I'm pretty sure I calculated the conditions you'd need on earth for that kind of thing and the movie's events didn't match it.
Having said that, the one film I mentioned earlier as my worst was Blair Witch Project, and I can honestly say I derived no pleasure from it, I watched it the whole way through and didn't come out of the movie feeling any part of it entertained me. Plus I spent £5 and a Halloween night I could've spent getting pissed at the cinema watching a film that would later plummet to the bottom of my list of movies.
RE: The Day After Tomorrow, I never saw that, but it looked bad to me so I didn't bother. The majority of movies these days cater for the short attention-spanned teenagers, so the producers don't feel logic is an issue, which is a shame. At least when a decent film does come along it usually stands out amongst the crap.
It's really sad how they messed up the movie so much, as the comic books are great. I just hope they don't continue messing up Alan Moore's work in the upcoming 'Watchmen' film.
Thunderbirds: Aah, that was horribly silly. worth watching for the title sequence only.
Studios make crap movies... no, illogical and/or plot-absent movies because most of the audience will watch that stuff over better things. There's nothing wrong with a few mindless action films, but they have to be the right kind of mindless action, you know? Some kind of rational driving force, not just for the sake of it.
I lie, of course, since there's never more than 15,000 votes for anything, but that's because everyone else who visits the site wants to give a rating of 0 (which isn't possible), refuses to glorify the film with a vote, or wouldn't sign up just to show how sucky some of these movies are.
Yeah, these threads are always retarded. People tend to hate the things that other people love, simply coz those other people love them. Personally, I really enjoyed Hellboy. Great movie. Dungeons and Dragons was nice too. Only reason so many people hated it was because other people said it was horrible. Entertaining nonetheless.
What I dislike are those movies that are just attempting to be too melodramatic and stuff too much into too little time, like LOTR Part 2, Spiderman 2, Troy, etc. Damn capitalists...
