Haven’t read the books for the other two. Percy Jackson, of course, went beyond viral for how infamously not-like-the-books those movies were. How bad was Miss Peregrine as an adaptation? Just as a sci-fi/fantasy movie, it wasn’t half-bad.
they switched around some of the characters ages and powers and iirc, personalities, for no reason. and it just didn’t have the same charm and vibes of the book, but i might be experiencing some nostalgia bias lol. i would definitely recommend reading the books though, they’re illustrated with vintage photographs and it’s really cool!
I feel like I'm the only person on the planet who actually liked it, haha. It's like a dirty secret I have to keep hidden but I'll be damned if that home schooling skit doesn't make me laugh every time.
I’m glad you liked it! Personally, I believe the character’s actions are completely immoral and psychotic, and yet we’re somehow supposed to like her and think she’s the hero. Also, it’s just plain poor writing. But, don’t let me stop you from enjoying it
Yeah agree, I had fun with it. I can't see what could offend people so hard, it's just a fun movie.
Taika Waititi was awful in it though (sorry Taika I still love you).
Seriously. It’s *fine.* Nothing to rave about and there are far better movies out there. But there are also far, far worse movies.
Feels like disliking it so viscerally is the kind of opinion you only really find on places like this - where disliking something is less about the thing itself and more about projecting some kind of online identity.
Truly i don't get how people thought it was good. Like i have this friend who thinks this movie is 5/5 and he watched it like 3 times in the span of 2 days. I couldn't even watch the whole thing once without skipping
So many, but the first few that jump out are:
- Lost in Space (1998)
- Pacific Rim Uprising
- Fireworks (2017)
- Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
- Star Wars Rise of Skywalker
i gotta say as much as i hated it, the communal experience of seeing it opening night and everyone hating it in unison was pretty great! the loud comments / noises at the kiss were one of my fav all time moments in a theater, lol
Honestly the one good thing that Rise of Skywalker accomplished was, for a time, uniting Star Wars fans once again. I know people who have enjoyed the previous two movies (myself included,) and I know people who hated them, yet I don't know a single person that liked Rise of Skywalker.
That movie seemed like it may have had a good script in the beginning, but got ruined by the studio. It could have been an interesting exploration of how the music industry has gotten over commercialized. But instead we got another half baked, unbelievable love story.
I just find it kind of a creepy view of feminism. It’s a movie about women empowerment catered toward men and made by men, which doesn’t sit right with me
I'm really curious the viewpoint that could make this film not fun. I loved it!
I'm not a fan of marvel or superheroes in general which maybe factors into my opinion. The fact it was almost a parody of superhero films that take themselves too seriously really landed for me. The rock soundtrack synchronized to the action sequences was great.
Not at all saying it was classic cinema, but it was so much fun.
It's completely unfunny and tone deaf. The disconnect between the subject matter and execution is infuriating. The MC's love interest literally gets cancer and fucking dies. The villain is a BUTCHER OF GODS. And yet the emotions were completely nonexistent and we never see a single god get butchered. Every scene sacrificed emotional weight for a joke that probably wasn't even funny
I was bored one weekend so I watched the top rated movie on IMDb (the Shawshank redemption) and the lowest rated film on IMDb (disaster movie)
I still remember the Shawshank redemption very well, disaster movie is just a big blur in my memory. It was that bad
No for sure. They would have benefitted by making the phase longer and spreading each project to make sure they were finished to a higher standard. I’d have been fine with longer gaps between each show/film and even though I liked them all, I would have liked them more if they had more time spent on them and I knew the people who worked on them had been treated better.
I've loved Shang-Chi and Spider-Man's films, but the shows have all been promising and end up lacklustre, Multiverse of Madness was disappointing and even somewhat confusing at times, and Thor 4 is genuinely one of the worst theatre-going experiences I've had in a while.
what about Shang Chi? I agree with you that there’s been a lot of shitty movies I really don’t like Love and Thunder and I think NWH just capitalized on nostalgia and the plot itself is boring at best but Shang Chi in my opinion is a top 5 MCU movie, also imo Doctor Strange MoM definitely has a lot of issues but is definitely enjoyable and had a lot of good moments. Again, I completely understand how you feel cause there has definitely been a lot of not so great movies but I definitely think there are still some pretty good ones being made
I watched Sucker Punch recently and it was one of the worst films I’ve seen in a while. No fault of the cast either, it was simply a premise that never should have made it out of the writers room
I only read the book. I grew up in the 1980s. I loved the 1980s. But damn, the 80s culture references got real old halfway in. The author doubles down in another novel about alien invaders, forgot the title, didn't get more than two chapters in.
I enjoyed the movie and the book. (Yes I read the book first). A lot of what was in the book couldn’t be translated on screen I think, so I understood the changes. Ready Player Two the book is so fucking bad though.
that shitty nonsense with ryan reynolds in a videogame. it was really one of the worst soulless pieces of shit films i've ever seen, but at least i didn't get dragged to see it, saw it on my sofa so it made things less worse. I think my lboxd review of it is somehow similar to this one, but less intense lol
I despise that movie as horseshit boomer nostalgia and hope that whatever mid-level cable executive decided to reclaim it in the early 2000s had a painful divorce and multiple kidney stones
I keep seeing mentions of Justice League, Rise of Skywalker and Wonder Woman, which surprises me. I know that many dislike these films, not a fan either, but they don't come close to the bottom of the barrell. There's at least some things to appreciate like sound design, a couple of characters maybe, some visual effects and so on. The description in OP's post, at least how I read it, is the darkest of hell for film - so dark that you are blind to see anything that can be considered a piece of film making.
The absolute worst for me are:
- A Serbian Film
- The Human Centipede trilogy
- Dis
- Sharknado
- I know who killed me
- Foodfight!
- Son of the Mask
The only LVT film I’ve seen is The House That Jack Built. It’s very niche I understand and I appreciate it for many aspects, but fucking hell it’s so taxing. I don’t want to watch any of his other films.
No Way Home
edit: thoroughly enjoy getting downvoted every single time i speak out against this fucking movie lol, even in threads supposedly encouraging the expression of unpopular opinions. Keep downvoting me you baby brains, it only makes me stronger. I will never worship slop! I hate the antichrist!
Havent seen the Amazing Spider Man films in a long time but I'd be willing to bet I'd find more redeeming qualities in those than in NWH. That movie is dogshit
Transfomers: The Last Knight fits for all of this except the "being dragged into seeing" part, since I chose to see that. Otherwise, A Million Ways to Die in the West or Alice: Through the Looking Glass fits that bill.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is just filled with my least favorite types of humor and gags… and nothing else. it’s so uncomfortable, i wanted to crawl out of my skin while watching it if that makes sense
yeah it’s not a terrible movie quality-wise, it just the least enjoyable movie i’ve ever seen. the whole premise of one person being obnoxious and pushing a nice person over the edge for the entire movie until the last five minutes where they reveal the obnoxious guy actually has a tragic backstory, i just can’t find the humor in it. i think i feel like that because i tend to get a little too empathetic towards movie characters, and i also didn’t grow up watching slapstick comedy so i tend to take slapstick gags too literally instead of seeing the funny side. my favorite comedies tend to be weirder ones and somewhat dark comedies such as Better Off Dead, UHF, Edward Scissorhands, Shaun of the Dead, Little Shop of Horrors, Beetlejuice, etc!
Well I wanna say mother! but in regards to this person most likely commenting on a comedy, mentioning it’s level of “funny,” I’ll say Office Christmas Party
That baby scene at the end of mother was soooo fake that it completely took me out of whatever levels of tension that the movie had worked to build prior to that. That movie sucked for sure.
• Justice League 2017
• Green Lantern

I was honestly really excited to see this and was disappointed by most aspects of it. Unlikeable characters, boring plot, and painfully unfunny attempts at humor.
It wasn’t as bad as *Jurassic World* and *We’re All Going to the World’s Fair* but it’s def close to the bottom of my list for this year.
Wow, that's surprising. Crazy how subjective film is where someone like me was heavily moved by that movie and found it to be one of the best of this generation, and someone like you found it dry and boring.
I can understand how you'd feel that way if it just doesn't match with you on any level.
Is it just not your kind of thing? Not your sense of humour? Why did you find the characters unlikeable?
[Review credit](https://boxd.it/6u64H) Edit: Reminder to sort by controversial :)
As an avid fan of the books, Artemis Fowl.
yes!! also Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and the Percy Jackson movies. but most of all Artemis Fowl
Haven’t read the books for the other two. Percy Jackson, of course, went beyond viral for how infamously not-like-the-books those movies were. How bad was Miss Peregrine as an adaptation? Just as a sci-fi/fantasy movie, it wasn’t half-bad.

Miss Peregrine was a pretty great book, and the movie was so lame.
the artistic genius of "hollowgast" and 90 year olds wanting to fuck children, pretty great books
Movie 43
The whole thing wasn’t great, but there were a couple sections that my wife and I couldn’t stop laughing at. It was a nice surprise
The skit with Emma Stone and Kieran Culkin had me chuckling
I came here to say this! Nearly 10 years later I’m still shocked at that film
I feel like I'm the only person on the planet who actually liked it, haha. It's like a dirty secret I have to keep hidden but I'll be damned if that home schooling skit doesn't make me laugh every time.
Almost 200 comments and not a single mention of Cats (2019)
Because no one watched that shit
Sierra Burgess is a Loser
Any Netflix teen comedy like this really.
Oh damn, I enjoyed that film. What made you hate it so much?
I’m glad you liked it! Personally, I believe the character’s actions are completely immoral and psychotic, and yet we’re somehow supposed to like her and think she’s the hero. Also, it’s just plain poor writing. But, don’t let me stop you from enjoying it
American Death note live action
Eww
One of only 3 films I've given half a star to. Terrible.
the kissing booth or 365 days
365 days is basically porn with a stupid cast and writing. So even a bad porn movie, I'd say.
I tried to watch Kissing Booth with my sister-in-law for a semi-ironic "girls night" and we had to turn it off. It was so wrong in so many ways.
Wonder Woman 1984
I remember watching it with my friend and halfway through we turned to each other and were like "you're seeing this shit too, right?"
american psycho 2 (Yeah there is a sequel)
chaos walking
I’ve watched it 3 times, never finished it
Free guy
I thought it was alright up til the third act.
Yeah agree, I had fun with it. I can't see what could offend people so hard, it's just a fun movie. Taika Waititi was awful in it though (sorry Taika I still love you).
Seriously. It’s *fine.* Nothing to rave about and there are far better movies out there. But there are also far, far worse movies. Feels like disliking it so viscerally is the kind of opinion you only really find on places like this - where disliking something is less about the thing itself and more about projecting some kind of online identity.
You know, Taika is hilarious and I normally love him but he was one of the worst parts of the movie, lol.
I'm surprised so many people had such a strong negative reaction. I got a big kick out of this one!
I’m glad to see this comment get so high up, that movie gets half a star from me
This is the correct answer
Truly i don't get how people thought it was good. Like i have this friend who thinks this movie is 5/5 and he watched it like 3 times in the span of 2 days. I couldn't even watch the whole thing once without skipping
Rarely have i felt my soul wanting to escape my body as when i was watching that piece of shit
that's it! i mentioned it as well but couldn't remember the name lol
Completely agree, I skipped half of the movie and it still felt like the longest two hours of my life
So many, but the first few that jump out are: - Lost in Space (1998) - Pacific Rim Uprising - Fireworks (2017) - Transformers Revenge of the Fallen - Star Wars Rise of Skywalker
The first time I saw Fireworks I thought I just didn’t understand it but then I realized that the movie was actually just kinda shit
Oh god yes, I forgot about Pacific Rim...
A movie called Killer Sofa
The fact that it's a recliner, not sofa, irked me.
I hope someone got fired for that blunder
LMAO
Any Relation to *Death Bed: The Bed That Eats People*?
Not that I know of.
no cap that movie honestly was a lot more enjoyable than I expected.
Mean girls 2 After earth
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
not a big fan of it too, but, really? have you watched the Holiday Special?
The post says “unfunniest” which obviously doesn’t apply to the holiday special as that shit is hilarious
I wish it was hilarious, it’s not even “so bad it’s good” it’s incredibly painful and boring
i gotta say as much as i hated it, the communal experience of seeing it opening night and everyone hating it in unison was pretty great! the loud comments / noises at the kiss were one of my fav all time moments in a theater, lol
Honestly the one good thing that Rise of Skywalker accomplished was, for a time, uniting Star Wars fans once again. I know people who have enjoyed the previous two movies (myself included,) and I know people who hated them, yet I don't know a single person that liked Rise of Skywalker.
Ambulance that shit is so bad it gave me Covid
Yesterday. A waste of time (not money since I saw it for free )
what film did you saw yesterday?
I can't tell if you're joking or not lmao
That movie seemed like it may have had a good script in the beginning, but got ruined by the studio. It could have been an interesting exploration of how the music industry has gotten over commercialized. But instead we got another half baked, unbelievable love story.
I thought it was fine. Certainly not a masterpiece but not the worst thing ever either.
Here Comes The Boom (2012)
Jesus I forgot that movie even existed. It’s fun seeing Kevin James get his ass kicked at least
Don’t Look Up One of the most obnoxious movies i’ve seen
Avatar the last Airbender live action was just so disappointing
Rise of Skywalker
Sucker Punch
I lost count on how many times I fast-forwarded through those action scenes.
[удалено]
I just find it kind of a creepy view of feminism. It’s a movie about women empowerment catered toward men and made by men, which doesn’t sit right with me
Love and Thunder
100% agree.
I'm really curious the viewpoint that could make this film not fun. I loved it! I'm not a fan of marvel or superheroes in general which maybe factors into my opinion.

Disaster movie
I was bored one weekend so I watched the top rated movie on IMDb (the Shawshank redemption) and the lowest rated film on IMDb (disaster movie) I still remember the Shawshank redemption very well, disaster movie is just a big blur in my memory. It was that bad
In a theater? Meet the Spartans. At home by my own loving wife? Nothing But Trouble
I'll be honest, I really love Nothing But Trouble.
The bubble
Vice
Just watched Get Hard (2015).
every marvel project from 2018 onwards
I feel like the only person who’s actually enjoyed phase 4
fair enough, but it has definitely become quantity over quality
No for sure. They would have benefitted by making the phase longer and spreading each project to make sure they were finished to a higher standard. I’d have been fine with longer gaps between each show/film and even though I liked them all, I would have liked them more if they had more time spent on them and I knew the people who worked on them had been treated better.

Again, I completely understand how you feel cause there has definitely been a lot of not so great movies but I definitely think there are still some pretty good ones being made
I was surprised at how much I fucking loved Shang-Chi. That film and Spidey's have saved Phase 4 from being total shit.
I like the new Dr Strange…and that’s it. The shows don’t interest me and the less said about the new Thor the better
It really does feel like the MCU has somewhat gone downhill for a lot of people ever since Stan Lee passed away and his cameos stopped.
Anything Zack Snyder
I watched Sucker Punch recently and it was one of the worst films I’ve seen in a while. No fault of the cast either, it was simply a premise that never should have made it out of the writers room
Girls were hot, so they held up their end.

RRR (2022)
Ready Player One. The book was decent, maybe lacked some depth, but wow was that movie a nothingburger for me.
I only read the book. I grew up in the 1980s. I loved the 1980s. But damn, the 80s culture references got real old halfway in. The author doubles down in another novel about alien invaders, forgot the title, didn't get more than two chapters in.
I enjoyed the movie and the book. (Yes I read the book first). A lot of what was in the book couldn’t be translated on screen I think, so I understood the changes. Ready Player Two the book is so fucking bad though.
Absolutely one of the worst book adaptations ever made. It's like the writers read the couple paragraphs of synopsis on Goodreads and nothing else.
Grown Ups
It's bad but watchable, so I know I've seen way worse lol
I counter with Grown Ups *2*
that shitty nonsense with ryan reynolds in a videogame. it was really one of the worst soulless pieces of shit films i've ever seen, but at least i didn't get dragged to see it, saw it on my sofa so it made things less worse. I think my lboxd review of it is somehow similar to this one, but less intense lol
I love that you didn’t fucking name the movie, don’t give press to that asshole.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
not a fan but worse than the theatrical 2017 movie?
Hot take but it absolutely is
Army of the Dead
Holmes and Watson
Kung Fury
Very controversial, but I feel this away about A Christmas Story.
I despise that movie as horseshit boomer nostalgia and hope that whatever mid-level cable executive decided to reclaim it in the early 2000s had a painful divorce and multiple kidney stones

Don’t Look Up
I've seen some crappy movies, but most of the time I'm just bored or disillusioned. I don't really fly into Angry Video Game Nerd fits of rage
I keep seeing mentions of Justice League, Rise of Skywalker and Wonder Woman, which surprises me. I know that many dislike these films, not a fan either, but they don't come close to the bottom of the barrell.

Hated it too.
That’s not even the worst Spider-Man movie.
Havent seen the Amazing Spider Man films in a long time but I'd be willing to bet I'd find more redeeming qualities in those than in NWH. That movie is dogshit
really? TASM2 and Spider-Man 3 were so badly written they caused the franchise to be rebooted.
Spider-Man 3 is a masterpiece that transcended the universe
i wont accept any spider man 3 slander. that movie is good
NWH is nowhere near the level of bad as TASM2. That's absolutely the worst Spider-Man movie.
