What's the worst film you ever saw at the cinema?
Discussion
California Man.
"
California teen Dave Morgan (Sean Astin) is digging a pit for a pool in his backyard when he happens upon a caveman frozen in a block of ice. Aided by his goofy friend Stoney (Pauly Shore), Dave transports their discovery to his garage, where the Neanderthal thaws and is revived. When Dave and Stoney find the living and thoroughly bewildered caveman, they attempt to pass him off as a foreign exchange student named Link (Brendan Fraser), resulting in many misadventures.
"
Really, really wanted to walk out, but the Mrs insisted it might improve. It never did, and I imagine we probably rounded the evening off with a row. It may well have contributed to the downfall of my marriage.
Made worse by me sitting next to a giant dopey man-child f
kwit who clearly thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen.

Tropic Thunder is the only one me (& my wife) have walked out of. Ben Stiller is not a funny man - we knew that going in so why we thought we'd enjoy it is beyond us.
Another couple followed us out too.
OMG DO YOU EVEN HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR ? Another couple followed us out too.
Never mind the Tom Cruise character
Toyko Story. Wife suggested it as most, if not all, film reviewers highly rate it. fk me, I was bored as fk within about 2min and had to sit for two turgid hours or however long it was. I thought 'er indoors was liking it, her suggestion and all that, but no, she was bored as fk too. Both us felt a bit silly that we hadn't said anything to each other during the film... Anyway, if post-war B&W movies with Japanese folk sitting about drinking cups of tea saying "Hmmm" to one another, then it's right up your street. Think I'll stick to the Cannonball Run III.

The Immortals.
French sci-fi about an Earth ruled by ancient gods.
Watching it genuinely makes the world a less pleasant, hopeful, place.
Not in the 'so bad, it's good' category. It is just bad. Awful.
A painful experience. I actually hate any and everyone involved in its creation. They unleashed upon us a vapid, bleak, reminder that for all mankind's achievements, we can lower ourselves to soul sucking pretentious banality of the worst kind.
Don't ever watch it. Don't even look it up on IMDb. You will be, forever, a little poorer and lacking as a human being as a result.
It may actually be evil.
I'll raise you with "The monkey king" one of the very few films I turned off after seven minutes. I genuinely thought what the actual fFrench sci-fi about an Earth ruled by ancient gods.

The Blob. "Starring Steve McQueen and a cast of exciting young people"

I went to see it at the cinema with my parents in about 1975 at a tiny cinema in North Devon.

Body of Evidence.
Basic Instinct clone starring Madonna and Willem Dafoe.
Madonna's wooden acting killed any sense of tension (sexual or otherwise) and the supposedly titillating scenes had the audience roaring with laughter, as did the attempts at suspense. Worth hanging on (pun intended) to the end though just to see how preposterous it could get.
Puts Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas into context as significantly superior actors!

Mark Wahlberg in The Happening......Utter trash.
was close to walking out on this myself
Oh come on, that film is a masterpiece. Hotdog man, running away from the wind, killer wavy trees, suicide by lawn mower - it's one of the best comedy films of the last decade. It's not as if it was supposed to be a serious horror or anything..................................oh.
