What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

The first, last, and only video game movie I've ever been suckered into seeing.

Kung Pow.

Seriously? No one metioned this? I stayed until the end but more than half the theatre got up and left.

Who the fuck puts Kung Pow on a worst ever list? That movie is fucking awesome! I've thought about this the last day or so, and have changed my worst movie to "The Village." Worst movie ever. I guessed the entire plot within the first ten minutes. M. Night is a piece of crap.

Kung Pow must be a troll, that movie is a cult classic.

Seconded. I liked the books so I went to watch it one night after work (was like a Tuesday a bit after it came out)... I wish I didn't. I was actually laughing during the movie at how bad it was. There were only 2 other people in the theater, a mom and her 5ish year old daughter, so I didn't feel like a dick about it.

The Happening was truly terrible and i paid to see that, however i classify that movie as bad good. its really just a weird as fuck movie with some of the most over the top bad acting i have ever seen. it wasnt boring and that lady who just flipped her shit in that cabin was lol worthy along with the dude who blasted the kids through the front door. the hotdog man was especially cheesetastic as well. and lets not forget the phoned in performance from zooey or the goofball marky mark scenes. the only actor who took that role any bit seriously was john leguizamo. he is really an underrated actor who always puts in the effort for his roles. somebody mentioned spawn. spawn is bad, but leguizamo fucking nailed that clown role.

i saw kung pow and eragon on video and neither films are great, but i wasnt offended by them. kung pow i took as a goofy comedy in the vein of dodgeball. eragon was a direct ripoff of the LOTR films and it had some decent effects. not great but watchable. even the prequels while horrible werent so bad you walked out of the theater, i just kept asking myself during phantom menace, why jar jar? why? clone wars and sith, i asked myself. why did lucas turn vader into a little bitch?

I have trouble deciding whether Kung Pow was hilariously terrible or just terrible, but I didn't see it in the theater.

I was about to ask how the hell it could be a ripoff when it came out first, but I prudently decided to look it up first, and saw that it came out in 2006. and Fellowship came out in 2001.

2001.

The only thing worse than getting old is those random reminders of how old you are.

wat?!?!?
I was 14 and already realized how fuckin bad that movie was. Of course the other 2 were no surprise of how atrocious and insulting for the majority of SW fans.

Kung pow is so awful that is good.

Nothing will top Phantom menace, just for the magnitude of the drop I felt. Between expectation . . . and . . . reality of what I was seeing.

Oh and the worst thing I saw in a cinema, it was as a kid, the local cinema ( only one in town, with only one screen back then ) had ads in the paper for what they called 'Battle of the Superstars!!" the ad poster had a few pictures of well known cartoon characters. Me and some friends went to see it. But it wasn't a film, instead they just showed back to back a load of short cartoons . . . but they weren't even good ones ( which might have been okay ) They were mostly bad ones, a lot were Tom and Jerry. Which I never found funny. You know a cartoon is lousy when kids don't like it, we could have stayed home and watched better stuff on TV

What was bad about the whole thing was that we were sitting in there, still waiting for a proper feature length cartoon film to start, something new and good. Until slowly we started to realize, other people around us asking themselves too.

"is this all they're showing us?? Just these cartoons??"

It was like some idea they had at the cinema during a period without a good kids film. It was during school holidays, so had a quite large turnout. A lot of people walked out. Really bad.

Hailing from a country where movies seldom goes international, in fact I dare say that not many here has seen a swedish produced movie, unless you are from a Nordic country, one of the worst movie of all times was produced in this here country.

Now, there is a quite funny review of the movie there as it has to be a joke , I was at the premiere, luckily the girl I was there with had gotten free tickets from a radio show or something, about 5 minutes into the movie, people started leaving the theatre, I am guessing that there where like 200-250 people there to start with in there, when the movie ended, we where like 5 people left, the movie was suicidal bad, filmed with a stupid handycam, the story and the actors, well let us just say that I have seen amateur porn movies that has been better even after you have finished fapping to it.

A must see to believe - and it can be seen at Youtube, with english caption - enjoy...LITHIVM (PART 1) - YouTube

I like bad movies. I've watched most of the movies mentioned here pre ~2004 in the theater and have no regrets. The only movie I'd probably never watch again would be Blair Witch, just because it's boring.

Y tu mama tambien. Jackass cinephile friends wouldn't stop talking about the "passion" and "brotherly love" the main characters had for each other and how poignant the sex scenes were. To me it was just two guys jerking off into pool water. Was so irritated by the unworthy praise and bullshit comments but stuck through with it as my GF was there and I wanted to get laid. Instead of storming off and later having to defend my opinion against empty-headed college kids I weathered the perfect storm of terrible faggotry the movie was and hate fucked my girl into near unconsciousness afterward.

Only movie I've ever went to and walked out of halfway through it due to sheer boredom.

Only movie I have ever walked out on. It was terrible, pretty sure it was on in theaters for about two weeks.

Wired, starring the guy from the Commish about an out of body experience as Belushi. Just shit, pure shit.

look man, i aint The Edge, the prequels buttraped star wars, but outside of a few things the movies were not unwatchable. i can say i watched all 3 movies at the theater, paid for them and dont feel like i didnt get my money's worth. chancellor palpatine/emperor in return of the sith is pretty fucking awesome. phantom menace had darth sith. clones had...... it had......... ok it didnt have any redeeming quality, but it was still the bridge movie so it needed to be watched!

god that movie was terrible, far worse than most of the movies listed here, and I am saying that as someone who used to love Kevin Smith movies.
It's not the kind of movie "that's so bad it's funny" like Troma movies and such. It's just shit, as is Justin Long's acting.

I would also add "anything with or from Adam Sandler", but this might not apply here since I've never seen any of his movies in a movie theatre.

Yeah, that is a shitty movie.

Kevin Smith really is a one trick pony. He's good when it comes to young comedies, and the rest of his career is total shit.
