What is the worst movie you've seen at the cinema?

I liked Crystal Skull.

Sure, it's easily the weakest of the Indiana Jones movies...but the first three were so good it was never going to reach those heights.

What? The aliens?
Or "inter-dimensional beings" as Lucas called them.

Probably about as absurd as the Ark of the Covenant melting off faces.
Or a magic stone that burns when you say some words.
Or cups that can give you either eternal life or instant death.

Oh f**k, you must be either a Speilberg apologist or even worse....a George Lucas one.

Don't dare try to compare the magic intertwined with the first three classics with the "Jar jar binks-like" twist of the f**king aliens in that steaming pile shit of a movie.

Sooooo many things about the movie simply did not work.

I guess it is like me liking"Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". Im aware that it is way inferior to the first two, but like it anyway.

The Phantom with Billy Zane

Any Batman movie, other than that Heath Ledger one.

Pretty much all the movies i've been dragged along to see.

I don't get people that walk out of movies

Does it really get that bad or do people just say it for dramatic effect?


I kinda agree with this, but then I guess if you're really not having a good time, then it's your prerogative to not bother staying to the end if it's eating at your mind & soul that much.
Though as already mentioned I got close to walking out of Ring 2, but couldn't bring myself to not see it through to the bitter end.


I liken it to people walking out before the end of a sports match, I don't get those people either. Sure the result may be a foregone conclusion, but I've seen plenty of games live (whether it's league, cricket, soccer, rugby or whatever) where all the best stuff has happened in the closing minutes.

I'm with you on this, no matter how bad it is I might as well sit it out now that I am there.

Someone mentioned XXX back there, that's almost up there with POTA 2001
Can't believe I went to the movies for that nonsense

People actually do it. For example, I remember Bad Boys 2 (not a great movie, but not the worst either) had a lot of grotty/gross/gory scenes in it. I remember a few people had enough of all the crap and got up and walked out. For a lot of people movies aren't as good as they're promoted to be.

Gone Girls is a current example... so far most people I've spoken to about it find it very confusing and wished they never forked out the $20 to see it.

I remember going to "Brick" with one of my mates, about half way through he leaned over to me and in a pretty loud whisper stated "I've got no idea what is going on". He's a bit of a comedian though, and to be fair it was a pretty poncy film that felt like it was trying too hard to be cool with all it's convoluted filmnoir-ish dialogue.


Which reminds me, I now remember going to "Date Movie" at the cinemas as well with this same mate (it wasn't a date FYI Hah) - that was another of those "GOD THIS IS TERRIBLE WHY AM I HERE" moments where I was just staring at the screen in disbelief most of the way through.
I did laugh at the Kill Bill flashback overkill with the siren sound and closeup shot of multiple people/things. God that was a terrible movie.

Kingdom of the crystal skull was awful. I've never walked out on a movie but that one comes close.

Dances with wolves is another that comes to mind, purely for the fact it was so long. Most of the movie was pretty good I thought.

Certainly not a Lucas apologist (the Star Wars prequels are some truly awful crap), but maybe a Spielberg one. I admit the movie has it's faults, but I still thought it was fun enough to enjoy.

I don't leave footy games until the final siren has gone.
Not even when the Eels are getting flogged 50-0. It just doesn't feel right to not stick it out until the end.

There's a ridiculous amount of shit movies out there, it'd be impossible to find the worst one.

So I'll stick to movies I've seen at the cinema. And hands down, without a shadow of doubt, the worst movie I've ever seen is 'Vampire Academy'.

I never expected to enjoy this, it being a chick flick & all. My girlfriend had read the books & wanted to see it, so I agreed. Half the time when I don't want to see a movie she wants to see, I end up liking it anyway.

First movie I've ever walked out on. I was trying to a find a way to describe how bad this movie is, but there none. The corny dialogue, the terrible acting, the laughable action scenes, the blatant ripping off of Twilight & Mean Girl. Shit, they've even made Twilight look respectable, & Kristen Stewart seems like she has a personality. They threw in the token good actor in Gabriel Byrne, but not even the greatest actor of all time could make this pile of shit seems good.

My girlfriend was the one who asked if I wanted to leave. Thank f**k she did, I didn't have the courage to ask her. I was watching her face while she watch it. It was the equivalent of watching a loved one get tortured.

I have to stop now. I just vomited all over my keyboard. Flashbacks.

I'm in the "never actually walked out of a movie" camp. Closest I've been is probably Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Just did not like it.

:lol: man the way you described it was funny - the bold part that is. That movie actually has some half-decent actors in it, but yeah, all in all it's pretty bad.

I watched R.I.P.D. over the weekend. Let me just say that thankfully it was on DVD. If I had watched it in the cinemas, I wouldn't have been able to walk out on it... because I literally fell asleep watching that movie!
