    Hands down, for the production money that went into it, The Hobbit trilogy.

      This is the only movie series that legitimately made me mad. The book seemed so simple to adapt to the screen. Just follow the book, with a little cut out to help with screen time, and watch the money roll in. Instead, we got one of the worst book adaptations Hollywood’s ever seen.

      The live-action Hobbit movies are the only movies that have a worse budget-to-quality ratio than Star Wars Episode II

    Super hard for me to answer, because I almost exclusively watch good movies that I know I’ll like.

    Elektra and Daredevil come to mind.

    Also Avatar. Amazing visually, but with the tritest of stories and 1 dimensional characters. I was so bored by the end of it.

      Exactly what I thought of Avatar: visually impressive, but really boring.

      Haven’t seen the second one, but I assume it’s the same.

    Barb Wire starring Pamela Anderson. She is not known for being a good actress. I guess she has other assets that set her apart

      At this point, I don’t even know which one that is. Every damn on I’ve seen has been trash and I swear they are all named something like the fall of such and such. Basically making it impossible for anyone to know what order they’re in.

    Jupiter Ascending - Terrible acting, story & let’s not talk about the CGI

    Setting aside stuff like Plan Nine and Manos and The Room and Birdemic, probably Star Trek XI, the one that JJ made. Splicing together test footage of Bela Lugosi and his chiropractor is one thing, but desecrating something beautiful is a sin.

      The room is one of those movies that is just so bad it’s good.

      The ”Disaster Artist” is the culmination of that.

    The Mary Poppins remake. To be honest, the movie was ok, but what really ruined it for me was the fact that a girl asked me out on a date to see the movie, then decided I wasn’t The One halfway through and just up and left

    In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, starring Jason Statham and Ron Perlman. I saw it in theaters. When the evil army started loading their ninja turtle orcs into the catapults, setting them on fire, and launching them over Definitely-Not-Helm’s-Deep, the audience started cracking up and openly making fun of it. It was a terrible movie.

    Unpopular opinion but, Avatar 2: The Way of Water. While it was mostly visually stunning, the writing was just “too painful”.

      Very popular opinion. What a huge waste of time. Most expensive B movie ever, and doesn’t have the camp value to pull off how bad the script is.

      What are you talking about? I can’t imagine a better movie. They could not have executed that acid trip of a film any better if they tried. Truly one of the greatest pieces of cinematography.

    The Super Mario movie is probably top of the list. The jokes fell flat and the entire movie was just Nintendo references. I get it’s a kid movie, but damn, Pixar knows how to make a movie for all ages. I guess I was hoping for the same.
