Through MST3K, I have seen some amazingly bad movies, like Hobgoblins.
RiffTrax is basically the same people, and if you want to watch a few minutes of terrible movies with a fun commentary track, their stuff is looping on twitch:

Mother pus bucket!
Honestly, I don't have much skin in the game - I enjoy the star wars universe and all, but as much as I enjoy the LOTR universe, etc. Not some superfan that felt it was blaspheming, and was excited to see the new movies.
They felt...hollow almost? to me. Like an on-rails hero story I've read 1000 times before. And maybe Star Wars was always that, I don't know. It just didn't have the same charm I felt from the prequel movies, which to me felt like vastly superior stories.
Zombeavers. Just... ...what?

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
Most Uwe Boll movies come to mind...
BloodRayne: The Third Reich probably.
Most things from any film festival or that Oscar people like.
Latest Star Wars movie... what was it called again? Rise of Skywalker?
Has to be one of the worst movies I've seen in the past 10 years, and I wasn't even expecting it to be good to begin with. It still managed to surpast my expectation with a landslide. It's even worse than The Hobbit movies (at least they had the Bilbo vs Smaug dialog which is one of the best experiences I've had, watching a movie, it's so, so good! Benedict killed it).
The Open House
Watched this the day it came out, so I didn't know what to expect, but boy was I in for a disappointment. It tricks you a bit, because the first half is actually decent, and the acting isn't bad. But then once the horror part unveils in the second half the movie lost all direction and goes all over the place, and the writing just gets worse over time, as if they started filming before finishing the script, and were rushed to finish the writing to meet a deadline. Or ran out of funds, I guess.
Then in literally the very last minutes it changes category a bit as it goes from just psychological horror to physical damage/violence to the characters, which I do not enjoy nearly as much, and that certainly left a sour taste as a last impression.
Finally the movie suddenly ends with no hint of a conclusion. It's completely open-ended and leaves the viewer with a lot of confusion and questions unanswered. And I know many movies pull that off decently, but not this one. Not even a little bit. I was just annoyed and felt I'd wasted a lot of time for no reward.
Can not recommend.

Well excuuuse me, Princess.
You are now breathing manually.
Under The Skin
Picture this: Skarlet Johanson drives around in a windowless van around Europe mumbles to people who then mumble back incoherently. EVENTUALLY she picks someone up takes them to her alien room and eats their skin in a huge slew of an acid trip and bad CGI (oh btw you get to see a gloriously badly cgied penis on each and every one of her victims). She then does this again like 3 times this is like the first 40 minutes of the fucking movie. This ends with a guy who they badly CGIed his face cause he's supposed to be disfigured or something, and she suddenly feels guilty and stops..I think. Some other stuff happen que a full frontal nude scene with her that you had to go to a long ass slog for then she dies the end.
Obviously cut out some story beats about her going through some mental growth or whatever and oh she's an alien but JESUS CHRIST the first half of the movie is literally her driving around in a van trying to pick up dudes and fails most of said attempts!
Avatar the Last Airbender... after all those years, I can not forget, I can not unsee...
Any star wars movie or any of the lord of the rings movies
Any Star Trek, old and new. pureeeeeeeeeeeee shit
Soooo true. I adore him.
OT: Mine would be Tideland.
I'm a huge Terry Gilliam fan because of my father and his love of Monty Python. Loved his movies growing up from Time Bandits, Brazil, Baron Munchausen and 12 Monkeys etc
BUT!
good lord it's the worst thing I've ever seen. I'll just leave the wiki description so you can see for yourselves:
" focuses on the increasingly dark, imaginative fantasy life the girl creates with the aid of dismembered Barbie doll heads that she often wears on her fingertips. With names such as Mystique, Sateen Lips, Baby Blonde and Glitter Gal, the doll heads not only engage in long conversations with Jeliza-Rose, reflecting different aspects of the girl's psyche, but also act as her companions while she explores the barren Texas landscape.
After her mother overdoses on Methadone, Jeliza-Rose and her father, Noah, flee to Noah's mother's home, a remote Texas farmhouse. Noah fears that with all the drugs in their house he will lose Jeliza-Rose and be sent to prison, so he attempts to set it alight before they leave, although Jeliza-Rose manages to stop him. They find the farmhouse abandoned, but they settle in anyway. Their first night there, Noah dies from a heroin overdose. For much of the rest of the film, Noah's corpse remains seated upright in a living room chair with sunglasses covering his eyes. As her father slowly begins to decompose, Jeliza-Rose doesn't readily acknowledge his death because she has grown accustomed to him being unconscious for long periods at a time. Instead, she retreats deeper and deeper into her own mind, exploring the tall grass around the farmhouse, relying on her doll heads for friendship as an unconscious way of keeping herself from feeling too lonely and afraid."
So yes, Jeff Bridges sits dead in a chair for the film decomposing whilst the young girl talks to barbie doll heads on her fingers. no lol needed
