Dirty Dancing Top Gun The new Top Gun film even though it’s not out yet Gone In 60 Seconds The Fast & Furious films, all 900 of them.
Father of the bride St. elmo's Fire Battlefield Earth - surely the worst ever - what was John Travolta thinking about.
I didn't know that about Mel Gibson, but it doesn't in the least bit surprise me. He's been known to participate in the odd vanity project. As for ID - I'm not sure whether I've seen it or not. Is that the one where the team the hooligans follow is Shadwell Town?
Tried to stay away from ones already listed. Ransom Snakes on a plane Taken Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Jonny Depp version) Mean Machine (Vinny Jones Version)
Moulin Rouge. The Mrs forced me to watch it once, 2 hours of Ewan Macgregor and Nicole Kidman butchering songs worse than karaoke night at the local pub. Utter *****.
I'm not a big fan of Tim Burton anyway (apart from Edward Scissorhands), but his version of Charlie was a particularly huge pile of steaming turd, even within a back catalogue of work which contains mostly excrement.
Yes, agree. Absolute complete and utter toilet. All the more disappointing after so many people had told me how much I was going to like it. I never knew how many of my friends had defective ears. Moulin Merde.
I suspect I have just avoided really bad films but here's a few that I hate that others seem to love: Hugo (the whole film could have been over in two minutes if Kingsley had just talked to the little ****) Layer Cake (starts by saying gangsters are in reality mundaner, then proceeds to demonstrate this. Yet the absurd plot ruins any realism anyway.) Avenger End Game (it went on and on and on and on... and on. Took a predictable out from the admittedly interesting Infinity War predecessor.)
I'll go for The Day After Tomorrow. You have all the money in the world to make a film about the end of the world and you make a film about a fella walking across a sheet of ice for two hours. I absolutely hate that film. And Independence Day for similar reasons .
I'm with those who have Independence Day down as BAD! Two reasons... One....The ludicrous concept that the Good 'ol US of A 'lead the way' militarily coordinating the World forces to defend the Earth when in the 'real World' several mates who had served alongside some of them used to refer to them as 'all the gear and no idea' Reminds me of the rewriting of history where they capture an Enigma machine, decode it and save the Allies... not seen it and cant even remember what it was called but am told Bletchley and Turing did not exactly feature Two...(and I know we are talking populist sci-fi here) but the even more ludicrous idea that someone could write a codevirus in less than 24 hours to interface with an alien technology and be able to upload it into their system. Don't forget the 'lightbulb moment' (his dad catching a cold) that spawned the idea of a 'virus' (no sh*t Sherlock) only after the War is almost lost . I know they had the alien craft to study for years but back in the 'real World' I can cite a case where a software interface package designed to work for PABX switches was required to be made to operate on a carrier grade switch. This took over a year to develop and test before deployment even with considerable resources (human and financial) thrown at it. EDIT: The film was apparently called U571
Independence Day is a bit daft but it needs to be put into context in terms of the era it was released in. Your average man on the street wasn't as clued up about viruses and how they are designed etc., the internet was dial up and a lot of households didn't have net access til late 90s, for example.
