Worst Movies Ever

[Synthaholic]

Rotten Tomatoes gave Collateral a score of 86%.

Just sayin'...

Collateral is a really good movie. And I like nearly all Tom Cruise movies. He has an eye for what he can turn into a good movie, and has the resources to make it happen.

I liked Collateral as well. I was pleasantly surprised by both Cruise and Foxx.

I like Michael Mann's directing very much in that movie. It has a look and a style and a hue. He balances out odd camera shots/angles with the repeated static taxi shot of Foxx and Cruise talking. He also leaves in obvious dialogue screw-ups by Foxx where he doesn't say his lines correctly. It comes across not as mistakes, but frantic and nervous behaviour.

I have liked a lot of Mann's movies, despite hating Miami Vice in the 1980s.

"Step Brothers". Apparently Will Farrell and John C. Reilly had so much fun making the clunker Talladega Nights or they were under the influence of some really potent stuff when they thought a movie about middle aged men behaving like pre-teens would be funny.

I don't think Will Farrell is for everyone. I personally like the I don't like your face sequence during that movie. I wouldn't want to rewatch the whole movie though.

You guys listed all the really good ones. Any of the Chucky movies are terrible.

Bride of Chucky-good grief that was bad.

Does it get any worse than the skateboarder assassination in "Hard Ticket to Hawaii"?

Transformers 2

Transformers 1 for that matter.

I did watch T-2 in the theater. The special effects are a fun watch on the big screen and with the dolby. I can't bring myself to watch that stuff on anything less.

I'm pretty much convinced that if the critics love a movie, it's not worth 10 bucks for a ticket. A win at Sundance is the kiss of death.

That movie about life as a homosexual jew surviving from day-to-day in a nazi concentration camp.............Schindlers Fist!

I never saw Schindler's List.

See it. Top 10 in any serious film lover's list.

Schindler's List was intense, I thought it was a great movie.

Of course, there are some movies that everyone loves, I just couldn't stand like Forest Gump.

With some exceptions, every movie with a 'II' after the name.

"A few good men" was a waste of talent like Jack Nicholson for one good line "you can't handle the truth".

Oh, I disagree. Check it out:

rogerebert.com :: Movie reviews, essays and the Movie Answer Man from film critic Roger Ebert

Like him or not, he knows his stuff, is a really good writer, and I agree with him 90% time on what is worth seeing and what you shouldn't waste your time on.

With no exceptions, any movie with a V after it. Empire Strikes Back doesn't count. We all know it was a II.
