What qualifies as the “worst movie of all time” is undoubtedly subjective, as is everything in the arts. But there is no denying that these scumbags are abhorrently horrible for a variety of different reasons.
These are the ten worst movies ever, according to Rotten Tomatoes’ rating system on the Tomatometer. All of the movies on this list currently have a dismal 0% approval rating from critics.
A Thousand Words (2012)
Eddie Murphy is regarded as one of the most amazing and brilliant comedians of the 20th century. Making the catastrophic error of taking away his voice, a performer’s most valuable tool, is A Thousand Words. It’s comparable to casting Channing Tatum in a dance film where he spends the majority of the time sitting in a chair.
A Thousand Words is possibly Murphy’s weakest performance in a movie since it entirely d isregards the edge and verve that have always made him brilliant. It is a queasy family-friendly magic-realism-heavy story in the style of (read: plagiarised from) Liar Liar.
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
The single worst film ever produced, according to critics polled by Rotten Tomatoes, is a pathetically amateurish cyber-espionage dumpster fire. World-class actors Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas are stuck in a box office flop that, despite being an action film, feels like it was made specifically to put us to sleep.
Is Ballistic: Ecks v. Sever entertaining to watch? Is it really so horrible, it’s good? The reply is most likely not. It’s boring more than anything else. And it’s really too bad about that.
Dark Crimes (2016)
As a comedic maestro, Jim Carrey is in a class of his own, and he has excelled in dramatic productions like The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In a dull crime thriller that is as formulaic and unoriginal as its title, the biggest celebrity of his generation vanishes into thin air.
Dark Crimes, a procedural about a detective pursuing a novelist, stars Jim Carrey and Charlotte Gainsbourg and is gloomy in a pale and forgettable way. Critics abhorred it.
Gold Diggers (2003)
Two impoverished losers get sucked into a web of crime and plotting with wealthy old women who have their own sinister schemes. It seems like a plausible enough setup for a crude, unpretentious lowbrow good time.
Here is the issue, or at least what is probably the main issue among s everal issues: G-rated movie Gold Diggers. It’s perhaps the most clumsy business operating under the National Lampoon brand, which is quite an accomplishment.
Gotti (2018)
It’s crucial to remember that John Travolta has delivered some of the most adored performances in movie history in better movies. It’s unfair to blame him for everything. absurd crime biopic In a parallel universe where every successful filmmaking choice is reversed, Gotti is like The Godfather.
An aside: Fred Durst’s The Fanatic, which was released a year after this one, was panned by critics in a manner comparable to that of Gotti, who was undoubtedly bad. Gotti is clearly a better movie than The Fanatic, which is flawed but never less than amusing and occasionally inspired. It’s amusing enough to watch.
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
The first blockbuster and best suspense movie ever was Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece from 1975. Although not wholly bad, the subsequent sequel was superfluous despite having some exciting moments. Comedy gold is Jaws 3D. The fourth entry fluctuates between being mostly unwatchable and being (fleetingly) funny.
This is the one where the shark has a grudge against someone. This image contains one of the most notorious continuity mistakes in movie history—Michael Caine’s shirt looks newly ironed and dry just after he is submerged in the water. This is the one where the shark makes a lion-like roar.
One Missed Call (2008)
This is the worst horror film ever, according to the Tomatometer. And, yeah, it’s awful. In the aughts, there were a tonne of mediocre J-Horror remakes due to the astronomical success of Gore Verbinski’s The Ring. Possibly the worst is this. It isn’t even fun-bad, though, unlike some of the other movies on this list (and numerous awful horror films). It’s just boring. To aid in falling asleep, you may play this on your bedroom TV.
One Missed Call is a $20 million studio horror film (where did that money truly go?) that is based on the 2003 film Chakushin Ari. about a deadly mobile phone. It aspires to be The Ring crossed with Final Destination, and in the end, it elevates the admittedly subpar Final Destination films to the level of a master Hitchcock.
Pinocchio (2002)
The 1940 Disney masterpiece—possibly the best animated film ever—is a long cry from Roberto Benigni’s Oscar-winning but contentious sequel. It appears as though Life is Beautiful was a vanity project that ought to have been scrapped at the pass.
When presented properly, the story of a young wooden puppet kid getting his stripes is immensely moving. It is really unnerving to see a grown man in this situation. even repulsive.
Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004)
Oof. 1999’s Baby Geniuses was a critically criticised exercise in misery and the worst film of one of the greatest years in cinematic history. The 2004 sequel, which is somewhat worse (2004 was also an unusually strong year for outstanding films overall), is worth highlighting.
In this cringe-worthy film about enhanced kids seeking to foil a media mogul’s evil plan to change minds, Jon Voight, there are a number of notable offenders, including uncanny valley effects that will haunt your nightmares, halfheartedly crude comedy, and phoned-in adult performances.
The Last Days of American Crime (2020)
Long comic book adaptation momentarily became popular on Netflix, but that is the extent of its successes. The over three-hour-long attempt at Scarface by Taken 2 and Taken 3 director Olivier Megaton is aggressive and bordering on ridiculous. Michael Pitt and Edgar Ramrez, two excellent actors, are only given the opportunity to pose and shout dialogue.
Crime was a crime against cinema, all critics agreed. Its absurdally desperate attempt to appear edgy. The Last Days of American Crime’s definition of “edgy” is just “a lot of yelling and awkward camera work.”
