Poll of the Day > what are some of your favorite "bad" movies?

(+) Yeah! (+)

movies that the critics hated or got low ratings, or whatever.

Mortal kombat 1 and 2 are both up there for me

the mummy as well (metacritic and RT scores is low)

I don't go by what critics say. They're just pretentious assholes that think they know what they're talking about/are bribed.

Grandma's Boy is one of my favourites, and RT gave it 16%, meanwhile the audience rating is at 85%. On IMDb it sits at 7/10. And a lot of the time the viewer rating is wrong, too. I like doom, but it has low ratings and is typically detested by most fans of the Doom games.

Street Fighter.

Year One. I thought it was hilarious and was surprised to learn that it was pretty much panned by everyone. It still has a 4.9/10 on imdb. I might be a little biased because I got a lot of enjoyment out of the DVD bonus features as well.

I don't know what's considered bad cause I never look at critic scores or any other ratings systems.

Mortal kombat 1

Some decent fight choreography in that one.

I'd need to see a list of "'bad' movies".

off the top of my head, a movie I enjoyed as a kid despite it being terrible was Firewalker with Chuck Norris.
---

Going Berserk.
---

I liked Howard the Duck back around when it was released (enough to rent it multiple times).
---

Starship troopers and the fifth Element and a fat bowl are a perfect day off

While Annihilation is worse, even the original was pretty bad.

This is true. Happened with Wild At Heart:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_at_Heart_(film)

Early test screenings for the film did not go well; Lynch estimated that 80 people walked out of the first test screening and 100 in the next. At the time of its release, the film received mixed critical reviews and was a moderate success at the US box office, grossing USD$14 million, above its $10 million budget. The film won the Palme d'Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival,[5] at which it received both negative and positive attention from its audience. Diane Ladd was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. It has since received some positive re-evaluation from critics.

Total Recall and Bloodsport

I recently watched "North", and it didn't seem that bad. It wasn't especially funny, but I wouldn't call it one of the worst movies ever.

My favorite movie is Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, and it's got mostly terrible reviews.

Is that one poorly received? I always considered that a legitimately good movie.
---

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
---

I never really look at critic's reviews, so I'm not sure what is really considered 'bad'. I see some movies listed here that I consider good.

The only one that really comes to mind is Howard the Duck.

People in this topic don't seem to know what makes a movie "bad".

I mean the first Mortal Kombat or Advent Children?

Since when we're they looked at like the Super Mario Bros. movie?

Pretty sure we're all talking about movies that were poorly reviewed or poorly received by the general public, not just outright dumpster-fire movies like what you see on MST3K.

Though good job mentioning Mario Bros; I liked that one, too.

Other than some of the cinematography, Psycho is a kinda lousy movie, though. The big draw was the "shocking twist" and, it's worth noting, it's the example used by the MoviePooper when it talks about only caring about a movie's twist.

MK1 and Advent Children are pretty bad, though. Not everything has to be Troll 2 bad.

The absolute worst movie I've ever seen is probably A Night to Dismember, though -- granted, most of the problem was that significant portions of the film were destroyed by a disgruntled employee... but they chose to release the movie anyway, giving it a new story by dubbing over a lot of the dialog and patching in clips from other movies. I'm disqualifying Last House on Hell Street simply because I'm not sure it had a budget.

Dead Man's Chest

The extended version of Advent Children is actually a lot better.

Lots:

Biodome
Starship Troopers
MK1/2
Tango & Cash
Lethal Weapon 1-4
Day After Tomorrow
Spy Game
Battlefield Earth
Prometheus
Antitrust
Judge Dredd (Stalone version)

What? I can *maybe* understand calling 3 and 4 bad, but 1 and 2? Seriously? 1 was critically acclaimed and was even up for an Oscar (albeit sound editing).

This. I saw it in high school and thought it was awesome, just watched it again and you can tell whoever wrote the script was high as fuck the whole time

Man, you guys like some good movies, you don't know true trash.

Repligator and Housu are both great awfulness.

To many to say.

Do you mean Hausu? That film won a prestigious award for its direction and is pretty highly acclaimed.

Mortal Kombat because it had some good fights and it contributed to making a few things canon within the games (Kano becoming Australian instead of Japanese-American, Johnny Cage becoming Goro's rival, Liu Kang and Kitana being into each other).

Plus, the plot was decent, even though it's basically a remake of Enter The Dragon.
