Worst Movies of All Time

Guybrush · 01-26-2011, 03:02 PM

Casting Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker was a big mistake. Before the movies were released, I was looking forward to, you know, following Anakin's story of corruption over the course of the coming prequels. This deeply personal story about Anakin's transformation to Darth Vader should be emotionally engaging to the viewer, but then they get a schmuck like Hayden to play the part and he just irritated me in every scene he was in. Disappointing!

I thought all three were pretty decent except for Darth Vader being called "Skyguy"

I mean Attack of the Clones.

I think we all know that the Lord of the Rings is best.

I can't stand LOTR

I liked all of the prequel episodes but episode 2 was the worst imo just for the fact that it had too much lovey dovey scenes going on. I did enjoy seeing mass amounts of jedi duking it out though with different colored sabers.

i hated the "love" scenes as well but the Coruscant City chase? priceless

I liked LOTR when it came out, in retrospect it was just Peter Jackson hubris

I've always thought The Terminal was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Very pretentious! At the very least it was the worst of both Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg's career.

Alone in the Dark is a movie I was suckered into seeing when I lived in England. To be fair, Uwe Boll is on a whole different level suck then everyone else.

Gladiator = Snoozefest

Tom Hanks was a naive, slightly dimwitted guy in love with a slutty woman. He played that to great effect in Forrest Gump. Using a fake country that really is Russia was a horrible idea. Any dropout from The Actor's Studio could have came up with that accent. I felt the movie was only made to capitalize on a similar real life story. As for Speilberg he was totally out of his element with this movie. If it doesn't have dinosaurs, aliens, sharks, or Jews, then he shouldn't be making the movie.

I don't think his character was dim witted at all. The naive nature comes from the language barrier aspect of the film, and his relationship with the woman was explored through a near elimination of linguistics and a focus purely on intent and emotion. It was an examination of differences in human culture, commercialism, and displacement. Also had some pretty interesting characters.

But to each his own I suppose.
