Lets see, movies I thought were simply horrible. Well excluding anything that popped up on Mystery Science Theatre...
Super Mario Bro's the movie: GAH! Campy, cheesy, horrible lines, way too dark and science-fictiony looking. They couldn't even keep the characters or the plot straight and consistent. About the only good thing I can say about this movie is that the speciel effect for Yoshi was pretty neat for it's day.
Street Fighter The Movie: Another game to movie adaptation. Similer to the Super Mario Bro's movie, it was riddled with problems. The biggest problem though was that was plot was horrible and was made worse by the fact that they went out of thier way to squeeze in as many Street Fighter characters as possible.
Batman Forever and Batman and Robin: Campy but not funny, way overblown speciel effects wise and riddled with crumby characterization.
Jurrasic Park 2 and 3: The plots were poor excuses for speciel effects, nothing more, nothing less. The acting was, typically poor in both films, the jokes were, cheesy and unspectacular. Worst yet by the time they got to the first film they threw out a lot of the realism from the first movie and simply had the Dinosaurs look and act however they wanted.
The script for the 4th film is even worse I must warn you. Can you say teenage mutant commando dinomorphs?
Steel and Kazam: Steel was based loosly on the man of Steel character from DC comics, the fellow who dressed up in an iron superman suit and helped fill the void after Superman was killed by Doomsday.
I actually liked this character to an extent, however the plot of the movie was campy, deviated drastically from the comics, and worst yet, it starred Shaquile O'Niel. I'll make it short, this guy can't act at ALL. The fact that the script looked to be written by a 13 year old didn't help either. Kazam, well, pretty much the same problem, Shaq can't act and the movie pretty much put all bets on his name raking in ticket sales.
Okay, now I must point out that I saw somebody mention Hellboy earlier, and I actually liked that movie. A few lines felt a little ackward but otherwise I walked away from it very satisfied.

And I'll add to my list:Terastas wrote:Reign in Darkness
Darkwolf
Crossroads
Anything by Ken Russel
Eraserhead
Life Aquatic: Bill Murray and Owen Wilson can't act, Wes Anderson can't write, and I haven't seen stop animation since Beetlejuice.
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle: Maybe I just resent this movie because my brother/roommate has watched it with the volume cranked up at full blast every single day for the past month, but I fail to see how a two hours of drug humor, toilet humor and genital herpes references accompanied by a storyline about two stoners with the munchies is amusing.
Titanic: I think we can all agree on this one.

Titanic: I hate films like this! Turning a horrible tragedy into a money making love freakin' story! And Rose is a damn w**** for sleeping with Jack in that short amount of time. AND in the backseat in someone's car!
The Day After Tomorrow: More like "Dumb a** movie that insults my freakin' intelligence"!! Aw, I was one of the poor saps that went to see this movie with my friend. We and most of the audience was groaning at the horrible dialogue and unbelievably stupid effects. Not only that but many other things don't make since:
- Why in the heck was there is people running from the cold, literally!? Yes the freakin' frost moves like an living creature in this movie!
-Those dog things. What were they!?! If those were SUPPOSE to be wolves then they are freaking dumb asses. Wolves are proven not to ever harm a human no matter how hungry they are! (Except werewolves ).And they were zoo animals! Also, the wolf ran do fast and hard that when the guy closed the door on it, it bursts (yes bursts like a tomato) blood on the window and walks away. Those wolf scene was so stupid I won't even go on.
-If the icescapes melted (and they was smart enough to put the fact that if fresh water and salt water mix in the ocean, it WOULD cause an climate shift. Why an ice age I don't know. ) why was the save places in the southern hemisphere. Didn't ALL the icescapes melt? So woundn't Antarctica melt too!?!
-when they was in the room burning books, they didn't stop to burn the wooden furniture that would have given them more warmth.
-One of my favorites, Dennis Quaid HIKES from Philadelphia (my hometown) to Downtown New York in the middle of a SNOWSTORM, in 2 DAYS while dragging his unconscious friend!
-and my most favorite dumb thing in this "movie", The snow clears in a couple days and it seems to have taken away all the pollution in the world! Horay!!!!!!

There is actually a theory that states that global warming would lead to a second ice-age, however as with many theories related to global warming it's a little dicey.
The theory goes that with the ice caps melted more moisture would evaperate and in the high altitudes would fall to the earth as snow, especially during the winter. The idea being that the snow will act as a mirror and reflect heat back out into outer-space.
The problem with this theory is that the altitude at which snow can form year round would likely go up due to the initial heat increase, which would reduce where snow could fall year round. Plus, since most the reflection happens on the surface it wouldn't matter if there was 1 foot or snow or 5 feet, the change in heat reflected would be little.
Now I know I'm prejudiced here since I'm a right wing loonatic but I will state for the record that global warming (or more accuratly climate change) has a tendency to be 10% fact and 90% hype. In the case of the Day After Tommorow though they pretty much threw fact completly out the window.
PS: If you want to debate climate change with me, contact me in private. I don't want to litter this forum with such a debate.

Antartica is an actual continent. The North pole is just roughly twelve feet of ice over the ocean, whereas in the south pole, most of if not all of the ice has land underneath it.Allen wrote:-If the icescapes melted (and they was smart enough to put the fact that if fresh water and salt water mix in the ocean, it WOULD cause an climate shift.

I singled that one out because it was the easiest to answer. The rest, of course, you were right about the stupidity of.
As for the whole global warming thing, well... Personally I don't think the whole "that won't happen for a hundred years" debate serves as an excuse, but if there's one thing I've learned from other online forums about anything that the politicians manage to distort into a matter of Left vs. Right, it's that no matter how one-sided an argument may be, whenever it's political, the only thing debate will lead to is forum members resenting each other.
*sighs* Well... Bye guys. I'm off to rant at my brother/roommate for not paying his share of the rent again and watching Harold and Kumar for the 30th time this month.

Too much information
Look Who's Talking Too, particularly the talking toilet scenes. If you value your brain at all, don't ever see this. Don't even see the Tri Star Pictures logo BEFORE the movie, as it's been corrupted and talks like Mr. Ed.
Teen Wolf Too, further proof that any sequel that can't spell "Two" should be avoided. Imagine the emotional horror as you are transformed into a lycanthrope, a werewolf (OK, around here, we've kind of thought about that a little more than most people). Now, picture seeing that on the reflective surface of a tuba. That's the movie's high point. The low would have to be the scene that climaxes with a dead frog fight.

Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...

I would have to agree that the movie was very unrealistic and unprobable, and the only thing realted to Mario Brothers is Mario and Luigi who are plumbers, and they traveled through a pipe. Yet I did actully really like that movie alot. Unfortuanly after my brothers forced me to watch and rewatch our DVD of it over and over and over! I'm sick of it.Super Mario Bro's the movie: GAH! Campy, cheesy, horrible lines, way too dark and science-fictiony looking. They couldn't even keep the characters or the plot straight and consistent.

I actually liked "Super Mario Bros." for, like, the first five minutes when they were plumbers in Brooklyn. That followed the video game's storyline pretty well. Then, as soon as they entered that stupid dino-alternate universe-whatever-world, it didn't exactly adhere to the game. How far did it stray? About 5 seconds in upon arriving at said ridiculous world, Mario bumps into a nice, sweet, kindly looking old lady. And then.....immediatley produces a huge rifle from her purse, blasting away at anything that moves. I'm not sure I remember gun-toting grandmas in my childhood heyday of playing "Super Mario Bros." Must have been taken from a secret room in the original game. I mean, did the screenwriters ever play the game at all? Maybe they got it confused with "Doom."

I agree that JP3 was a disaster...but dispite the numerous stupid things that happened in 2, I could not help but enjoy it. I liked #2 almost as much as the original. Both were complete nonsense (1&2)...but they were both fun to watch.WolvenOne wrote:Jurrasic Park 2 and 3: The plots were poor excuses for speciel effects, nothing more, nothing less.

A few years ago a Dutch director made a Hollywood-remake of his own movie 'De Lift', it was called 'Down', and even sucked more then the original (Dutch-only) movie. The story goes about a elevator that has a mind of his own, and starts killing people.
Sounds cheesy allready? Wait to you see the movie. Also known as The Shaft.

I think I know what route you're taking in terms of what makes a movie horrible, but I don't think Howard the Duck is quite at the bottom of that pile. That was a movie that was meant to be corny.Searif Bogard wrote:worst movie ever?... howard the duck.... nuff said
