If you think Solaris is dull you should watch the original by Andrei Tarkovsky - it took me four sittings to get through that. I almost walked out of Alien 3 because it was so dull. I've failed on three attempts to watch Terminator 3. |

Terminator 3 is a bloody disgrace... the entire UNIVERSE - including aliens who live in other galaxies or dimensions, lost amazon tribes as yet untouched by modern man, and people who don't even like films - wanted it to be set in the FUTURE WAR. Instead, we got a fairly by numbers action film set once again in modern California (snore...) with the ridiculous T-X terminator, a really crappy ret-con to the story and an endless stream of hateful characters making stupid decisions. |

if the movie sucks, i have to start convincing my girlfriend to change it, since she one of those who likes to see every movie til the end. Last night we were watching Silent Light, an incredibly slow and boring mexican film. Even though it took me around 30 min to convince her to watch The Bank Job instead. Glad i did. I watched Boa Vs Python to the end though, but because it was so amusing. |

I watched Garfield 2 the other day. With a small child, admittedly. Bill Murray, why, apart from the money, did you agree to star in this crap? Didn't like Control either, having seen the DVD at last a week ago. It's not really a bad film though, and the actor who played Ian Curtis performed well, it's just that the film doesn't work as a harrowing drama, or as a biopic the Joy Division story, except in the loosest sense. (Oddly, Samantha Morton, playing Ian Curtis' wife, is barely in the film, and it's meant to be an adaptation of Deborah Curtis' book. Couldn't see the similarity myself, to be honest.) |

Maybe you're right when you say that it isn't either an harrowing drama or a biopic, but who cares? It's enjoyable, it looks great, and has joy division songs, what more could i ask? |

I went to see 'Adrift' with a couple of mates, turned out to be a mistake. Pretty much everyone walked out when they realised how bad it was going to be so we had our own silent disco up the back with mp3 players. Quick summary of the movie. It's about people who are the very definition of WAFI's. They get drunk then jump off their boat in the middle of nowhere without putting the ladders down or anchor out and then wonder why it all goes tits up. Idiots, they deserved a Darwin Award, not a film. |

You really haven't watched enough films if the worst you've seen is Snakes on a Plane. Though I actually quite liked it. Treat yourself to some Seagal movies immediately to experience truly terrible films. But I still have watched much much worse. |

Quote: again going on zombie films whats the day of he dead remake like? Really, really quite unbelievably shite beyond all reckoning. And not even in a funny way, just tragically poor. This is coming from someone who loves both the original Dead series and the recent Dawn retread. Christ, I enjoyed Zombi 3, The Child and Burial Ground more than this. Even Zombie Creeping Flesh was probably better , if only for the slight comedy value. If I didn't know quite how low the barrel goes, I'd say it's a serious contender for worst in its genre. We'll just have to settle for worst in recent memory instead. And speaking of zombie films, I just seen the live-action adaptation of Oneechanbara (aka cheapo PS2 game Zombie Hunters/Zombie Zone). Turned out much better than it had any right to be, actually. Terrible performances all round, but some rousing (and surprisingly well handled) action sequences save the day. That might well be the only time in history I've seen crap shoestring CG be so well handled, let alone actually adding anything to proceedings. One for the fellow exploitation hounds in the audience. And then there's Diary of the Dead. There's some good moments in there, lost somewhere in the creaky plot, completely unbelievable 'filmed' footage and first-year drama student performances. Not a total loss, but I still felt embarrassed for poor George when I was watching it. |

The Happening is the worst film I have ever paid money to see. To echo Lave, it's not even good in a "so bad it's good" sort of way. Personally I really like M. Night Shymalan's movies (yes, even The Village and Lady In The Water), but this one is utter toss. |

There are literally thousands of "shit" films that are watchable though, aren't there. Are there any truly awful unwatchable dreck like movies out there that weren't made for TV? I hear Uwe Boll is pretty good at making unwatchable movies but I couldn't say for sure as I've never seen any. |

I would argue that we need to define what "shit" is. Or at least degrees of it. I have no problem with entertaining shit. But there's a whole level of shit that needs clarifying here. I think serious shit evokes confusion in the mind of the audience - what I'm talking about is a lack of clarity in the direction the film takes - also, there's a budgetary constraint. I'm less inclined to forgive a film for being shit if it cost more than, say $50m dollars to make. If it cost over $100m and it's shit then it's just shit with a capital S. My candidates for this are. Xmen 3. Pirates Of The Caribbean 2&3, Spiderman 3, Mission Impossible 3, Phantom,Attack,Revenge of the Jedi Bears or whatever they're all called. The Golden Compass or whatever it was called. There're a lot of them, but they all have one thing in common as far as I'm concerned - they're portentous and they can't get away with it because they're too dumb. There are many more, but I can't sit here all day trying ot remember them. |
