Super Mario Brothers
I was greatly disappointed seeing this movie as a young teen when it first came out. It's a rule that just about every movie based on a video game will suck..there are the select few that are decent though.

Ever see "The Hunted"? Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro(sp?)
That movie has made me question if Tommy Lee Jones was ever a decent actor or he just duped us all.
And I dont know it this movie can be judged in this catagory as it was made for T.V.
10.5 the really crappy movie they put on abc or nbc or was it cbs . . . at any rate it was bad. Watching this movie was like watching a movie made by someone who just bought a camera. You know what I'm talking about, when they first discover the "zoom" function and think its cool. The movie would literaly zoom in and out on random things and people ever 30 seconds.

I have never understood why everybody includes the Postman and Waterworld in the worst movie ever polls. What exactly about these movies makes them so god awful? Other than they cost alot to make and didn't have the box office sucess expected of them?
Let's see if I can recall why I hated Postman so badly (saw it in the theater so long ago). I remember the writing being pretty bad... but all I can remember right now is the love interest, but that's enough. Here it is.
Ok, so Kevin wanders into town and is propositioned by a married couple, who want Kevin to bestow upon the wife his glorious DNA (something about most people being infertile is the future). That's right, hubby asks him to bone the Mrs, because they want a baby. Fine.
So he does, but it's played to all romantic and tender, like instead of an act of desperation on the part of this couple, it's like some dream come true. Later, the husband dies, the wife immediately falls for Kevin, and everyone ends up happy. And we're supposed to like her after that. And why not, what lady can resist the glory of Kevin Costner?
And it's produced, written, directed and starring Kevin Costner; what a freakin' vanity project. This movie really showed that he needed to get over himself.
You know, writing that last post, I started thinking of another movie with a similarly ridiculous sub-plot: Last Samurai.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not putting this movie on the list of bad films. I liked it, but the whole "You killed my husband and my children's father, I hate you, wait now I love you--Hey why don't we bone" part of the movie was pretty silly.
That reminds me, here's a funny *********************************************************************** about bad movies that mentions Last Samurai.

Movies based on Stephen King novels rarely do the book justice. Yes, the movie was bad, the book was great. This can be said about nearly all movies based on his novels. About the only exceptions are "The Shawshank Redemption", "Stand by Me", and "The Green Mile".
The Shining?

To be perfectly honest, I actually like both waterworld and the postman. But then, I'm not a rabid Kevin Costner hater. The big problem with Costner movies is that he's often miscast by people who just label certain roles a particular way and think therefore he's successful as a romantic lead. The guy sucks at that sort of role (and it shows, if you've ever seen Message in a Bottle).
However, IMHO he's probably the best Hollywood actor at playing the role of the anti-hero. The guy who's basically self-interested only, and usually downright anti-social, but ends up being the hero of the story out of necessity. Once you see through the role and realize that you're not *supposed* to like the hero characters in waterworld or the postman, both of those films work much better. And Costner's performance in both is pretty good actually.
But that's just me. I like that kind of film.

The only time I saw Manos: Hands of Fate was when MST3K spoofed it. Was pretty good then, hehe.
Another bad movie just came to mind - Wild, Wild West.
Eeek.

As a rule, any movie where ninja appear for more than two minutes can only be given the highest praise regardless of acting, plot, music, special effects, etc.
Also, when did they bone in this movie? Are there two Last Samurai movies with ninja? (I like ninja.)

Lol, yes Ninja saved the movie. As for the boning, it's more the desire that they show.

Hello. Clint Eastwood ring a bell?
And he's made how many films in the last decade or so?
And there's worse things then being similar, but just not quite as good at a style of acting as Clint Eastwood. I still thought both waterworld and the postman were pretty good flicks. I didn't expect them to be oscar winners or anything, and they were right about where I expected them to be, if not better.. To me, that's a big part of the judgement about a film. What did you expect based on reviews and advertisement, and what did you get at the theatre? Both films got slamed for being overbudget and underacted (again, by folks who were thinking of Costner as a romantic lead), so they were both better then I expected.
Same reason why I don't put cheesy/crappy movies on my "list". I certainly did not see Killer Clowns from Outer Space expecting to see anything other then pure camp. Same with Dante's Peak and Volcano (or any film just named after some nasty animal for that matter).
That's why films like AI, and Solaris, and TRL make the list. I went in expecting something and got total crap instead. In AI and Solaris, I was looking for an intelligent treatment of the subject matter. AI just went off on a tanjent and never came back (and made no freaking sense anyway). Solaris was just full of imagry and nothing else (and also made no freaking sense). With TRL, I was hoping for a classic WW2 film with a large and prominent acting cast, with maybe some hint of purpose and conflict and maybe a bit of heroism and humanity thrown in. I should have just pulled out my "A Bridge Too Far" DVD and saved the cost of the tickets...

Amazing. Simply amazing. You can take a question like "What's your favorite movie?", and give a four-paragraph answer. Wow.
I am a fan of Costner myself - for the sports movies mostly (Bull Durham, Tin Cup) and I rather liked "Message in a Bottle" - ok so it was a sappy chick flick, but it also starred Paul Newman! - but I couldn't stand Waterworld. I saw it with my dad the summer it came out; tedious, boring, pointless. I've put most of it out of my memory but it was convoluted to the point of senselessness. Most of it was just a badly-done rip-off of Mad Max on water. The only part that struck me as interesting was the opening sequence, showing the Earth flooding.
My father always claims that "Lost Boys" is the worst movie ever, but he doesn't see the importance of the Coreys in 80s pop culture. That was a fun movie!
Cube²-Hypercube was an utter piece of shiat. I didn't see the original, but maybe it's just Bad Sequel Syndrome.
The other week I saw Identity. How annoying. It was almost interesting, until they revealed the plot twist halfway through the movie, then drug it out to a few unnecessary and tedious false endings. Personally, I thought it was a waste of what was likely a good script and could have been a brilliant thriller.

It's weird because I have never really been into the Fairy Tale genre but for some odd reason I enjoy playing MMORPG's with some sort of Fairy Tale theme.

Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo play undead cops...Nuff Said

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that any movie with Treat Williams is going to be **** sandwich. That's good eatin'!
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
Any natural disaster movie ever made; whether its a meteor, a tidal wave, tornadoes, Blizzards, Locusts, giant bunnies, or creamed corn gone foul, they all suck.

I thought the postman and waterworld were pretty badass
Yeah Ninja's saved the day in the last samurai, I saw them on the roofs and I was like "Ninja's!" it was cool.

I'd much rather watch Labyrinth over, Bad Boys 2 for example.
I pretty much dislike anything directed by Michael Bay. He was so far off historically with Pearl Harbor that I nearly walked out of the theatre. What stopped me was that I would have to wait in the parking lot for the final hour and a half of it because I was riding with someone else. When I saw Yamamoto aboard a ship and repeating the "...awakened a sleeping giant" line that had originally been written into Tora Tora Tora, I spewed coke all into the hair of the lady sitting in front of me. I still cant believe that I wasted seven bucks on that piece of crap. The sad thing is the fact that I already had seen Armageddon and Bad Boys and I thought they sucked, too.
Never again, Michael Bay, will you trick me...
On a side note, absolutely anything starring Ben Affleck is utter crap and I do not think it is a coincidence. Exception being Good Will Hunting...Matt Damon saved that one.
As far as a good example of how bad voice acting can mess up a movie, have you ever seen the version of Armitage featuring that chick from Saved By The Bell who got naked in Showgirls (Elizabeth Berkeley?) as the voice of Armitage?
