[Film] What is the worst film you have ever seen all the way through?

[jackanada]

The above has reminded me.

Quantum of Solace.

I definitely watched the entire thing when the then girlfriend. We definitely both thought it was terrible, without ever being terrible enough to be amusing. Just couldn't understand how they made such a poor film with the cast, budget etc.
Can't remember anything specific about it, which is telling.
I do remember calling it “Quango of Soul-Ash" and that said girlf found this impressively apt.

Yeah. Not a great film. The script was being written and then a writers strike hit.

Daniel Craig ended up finishing writing the script and by his own admission, did a bad job.

Some absolutely outrageous takes done for laughs (I assume).

“Worst film you’ve seen all the way through”… we’ve had The Sound of Music, The Lord of the Rings, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom… and that was just from skimming a few pages of the thread.

These threads always just turn into “the popular/successful thing I don’t like” being the worst.

My vote goes for A Serbian Film. Some movies are bad. Some movies are incompetently made (Plan 9 From Outer Space), in poor taste (Irreversible), badly acted with terrible writing (The Room), badly miscast (The Conqueror).

No film I’ve ever seen has filled me with the anger and revulsion I felt for A Serbian Film. Horrific in every single respect.

Stone cold classics, the lot of them

Similar experience. Took a very attractive woman to watch QofS at the pictures.
I was astounded at how bad it was.
As I analysed it / ranted about it afterwards, over a drink, I could see her eyes glaze over. I couldn’t leave it alone.
There was no second date, if you’re wondering.

The opera scene is the only good thing in it.

Sorry, off topic but my favourite Bond film is somewhat controversially, Spectre.

If you ignore the wafty back-story about Christoph Waltz being his brother, it’s a brilliant Bond romp.

As an aside Christoph Waltz reminds me too much of Woody Allen and I find it hard to take him seriously.

Anyway, as you were.

I’m going to have to watch it again. intrigued to see if it’s as bad as I remember.
No time to die was pretty awful too, thinking about it. Drawn out and boring.

Each to their own. I adore La La Land and also The English Patient

I hated Detriot and the 1 hour hotel scene. Only time I have ever walked out of a film and Will Poulter was an absolute arse

No time to die didn’t really do it for me. It was okay.

Agree about Detroit.

We don’t agree on many films but it’s great you like what you like, unapologetically.

If that’s not too patronising a thing to say.

Maybe I'm just old, but I don't really like any of the Bourne films, or really anything by David Nolan. Plots mostly impossible to follow, very loud and fast action scenes where you don't really know what's going on. They lose me after about 20 mins.

 

[The Clamp]

There are some films I enjoy at the cinema, I love the cinema. That I can’t bear to watch at home.

Sometimes the circumstance / setting plays a part in my enjoyment.

For instance there’s films I’ve watched and enjoyed while decorating and wrapping presents at Christmas that I wouldn’t look twice at normally. Moulin Rouge is one of these. Water For Elephants is another.

I guess I’m just a sentimental old howdy doody underneath it all.

I enjoy the Bourne films. The stunts and screen fighting in them were a turning point in action films.

Confessions from the David Galaxy Affair

What was I thinking?

I think we all know exactly what you were thinking.

Another one that's not the worst I've ever sat through, but feels like it is 'Love Actually'. I liked 'Four Weddings...', I quite liked 'The Tall Guy'. 'Notting Hill' seemed like '4 Weddings...' run through the law of diminishing returns. I had little interest after that, but had to sit through it because my wife and kids love it. They watch it every Christmas and I am now cast out of the room whenever it's on, because even my eye rolling ruins their enjoyment of the cobbled together stories of weird stalkers, fat shaming, 'Confessions of' type male fantasies and the horrible treatment of Emma Thompson's character, the only sympathetic person in the whole mess. (Okay, she likes the crap jazz version rather than the original 'Both Sides Now', but that's no reason to do that to her Rickman).

The most annoying thing about it is how shallow everything is. It doesn't feel like a film, but a load of Hallmark cards stapled together.

Good shout, I f***ing hate it

 

[stewart12]

Even as a teenager I found the American Pie sequels to be absolutely awful

I imagine if I watched the original now I'd think the same about that- I doubt it's aged well

Elf. Can't believe people love it.

Amen Brother! Ferrell seems like a nice bloke in real life, but dressed in tights, nearly forty, acting like a toddler he just creeps me out. Then he pulls Zooey Deschanel.

Frozen, I took my 3 young lads under pressure. I fell asleep, they had to suffer it, appalling

I thought the first Frozen was fine as far as kids movies go. I've seen worse...
Like Frozen 2, for instance, which was absolutely horrendous.
