You know what movie I hated growing up, and still hate to this day.
Mortal Kombat II
I know that the first movie has some plot holes and doesn't age well, but it was fun and good for what it was.
Then that sequel came out and ruined absolutely everything. It is actually dumber to me than any other movie I have ever seen ever. When a young kid has to ask what happened to X because they just disappear with no explanation, you have a serious issue.
Good try but that was 'Gigi'
Gigli was the Bennifer abomination..why do people keep telling Ben Affleck he can act?
Woops! Hee hee! Forgot about that abomination.
Hey I am still trying to forgget Mortal kombat 2 and yes Dungeons and Dragons movie was horrible as well.
Oh yeah. I have some more examples of Shoot-yourself-it's-less-painful:
Armageddon. I don't have words to describe the raw stupidity of this film.
King Arthur. Even the old Excalibur is better, and that's with Sex in Full Plate (tm).
Transformers. Yeah. Ewww.
"Sliver" (1993). In this movie, Sharon Stone has all the animal presence and erotic appeal of a platic novelty blow-up doll. And since erotic appeal is apparently the only thing the filmmakers were bothering to try for (acting, plot, cinematography, etc. certainly weren't of any real concern to them), then I'd call it a clean sweep of total fail.
One thing in their favor: they did find or grow yet another Baldwin clone to be in it. I guess Alec, Stephen, Daniel, Pierre, Juan, and Chiu-Lang Baldwin were all busy, so this one has William Baldwin instead.
The sad thing about Sliver is that it's based on a book that actually wanted to say something about what surveillance does to people. Oh well.

Yeah, Ira Levin usually writes smart books that are then made into vapid movies ("Stepford Wives" remake, anyone? And it looks like a "Boys from Brazil" movie is coming soon).
Did anyone here but a Ballistix: Ecks versus Sever?
That was a painful movie to watch.

Ecks vs Sever summery - Expolsion...fight...fight...bad diolouge...explosion...expolsion...fight...fight...bad diolouge...bad diolo...fight...fight...fighting with explosions...roll credits.
This movie starred Bill Murray, one of my favorite actors (and star of two of my top ten movies ever: Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters.
I was psyched, since the adverts made it look really good. My wife and I got a night out together (which if you know our circumstances is a minor miracle in its own right) and we decided to go see this in theaters ....
:/
We walked out after about 45 minutes. The plot was nonsensical, the cinematography was lame and Owen Wilson and Bill Murray had no synergy together. Oh and Jeff Goldblum played a creepy adversarial figure ... big stretch. To this day I STILL don't understand what the point of this fool movie was, and I am still angry that we wasted one of our precious few nights out being tortured by it.
Wes Anderson's movies are not for everyone I guess... One of my most memorable laught ever - Bill Murray going crazy on a boat full of pirates and killing eveyone singlehandedly with a submachinegun. Yeah!
The worst movie I saw recently. Scott Pilgrim against the world. Rock star vegan with anime-like superpowers dueling a loser in a bass contest for an ex-girlfriend? Too much is like not enough - I too can mix geeky clichés together and write a scenario in half an hour...
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Snakes on a Plane.
That movie was so dumb, that it was awesome. I saw it on opening day. I'm pretty sure I lost a good deal of brain cells. And it was totally worth it.
"Everybody listen! We have to put a barrier between us and the snakes!"
That was going to be the one I listed. Oh darn. I'll add Adaptation to the list. I've had arguments with people over the movie's "deeper qualities". No. It just sucked.

Meh..forget about viewing King Arthur as Arthurian Myth and just watch the Cavalier/Rangers fight..pure Pathfinder Combat

Love King Arthur. Is it historical? Probably not. Then again, until we get a time machine, we're not really going to know- I think there have been too many cooks in that particular stew.
Also, you can add Requiem for A Dream to my above statement.

Another one of my favorites!
I can understand why people don't like this one, however. My girlfriend wouldn't sleep with me for a week after we watched this. That being said, I don't think it's dumb at all, rather, incredibly depressing.
Although it does have a Wayan brother.

Hee hee! 'Tis true!
On top of all the general nastiness in the film, her mother had suffered from some severe mental illness problems and the scenes where Ellen Burstyn lost in on diet pills freaked her out. She (the mother) even spent time in the asylum featured in Girl, Interrupted in the seventies and was excited to see that movie when it came out.
Incidentally, my nomination for the Dumbest Movie Ever Filmed:
Movie: Carnosaur
Producer: Roger Corman.
Premise: A genetic engineer grows bored cloning dinosaurs the old fashioned way and unleashes a virus that causes women (and chickens) to spontaneously give birth to dinosaurs.
Special Effects: Fog machine, laser beams, forklifts, and a foam rubber T-Rex.
But Wait, There's More! Believe it or not, none of the above is the dumbest thing about this movie. The dumbest thing about this movie is that producer Roger Corman explicitly stated as he was filming Carnosaur that the film was intended to compete with Jurassic Park, which was scheduled for theatrical release two weeks after Carnosaur. The budget Roger Corman thought appropriate for a movie intended to rival Steven Spielberg's dinosaur epic: one million dollars.
Wait there's even more, they made 2 squeals.

I liked Scott Pilgrim, but I knew what it was going in- the average moviegoer didn't, and I don't hold them responsible for not wanting to spend a CONSIDERABLE amount of money and go see a movie that is essentially one gigantic reference to a comic that they did not know existed.
I had NO IDEA what Scott Pilgrim was about when I watched it, but I found it absolutely enchanting. I loved the puns, the video game noises used to emphasize things, and the overall wackyness of the film. I really had a blast with this one.
Scott pilgrim is awesome
Movies that suck: Battlefield earth, Starship troopers, Wing commander, Pearl harbor, Snakes on a plane (except the snake biting that girls boob part), and Cloverfield
The razzies are garbage anyway there are plenty of bad movies and bad actors that should "win" but never do or even get picked.

Which is why the Smithees are much better. They don't limit they nominees to the current year's releases, but spend all year scouring the worst movies ever made to bring to the viewing public in a 19 category live voting event. Highly recommended.

No one's mentioned Avatar The Last Airbender yet? If the Razzies make up a category jut for your film (most eyegouging use of 3D), and you win Worst Film, Worst Dirctor and Worst Actor as well, I think you deserve to be on this list, if no right a the top of it.
Well, I think Avatar was doomed from the beginning. I mean, how do you compress hours of content down into 2 and have it still meaningful? There's only a few films that have managed to do such a spectacular job (many may disagree, but I thought the LOTR films did an amazing job of carrying out the awesome).
That being said ...
I believe Battlefield Earth is on just about everyone's 'tripe' list.
If it's the film I think it is, 1981's Funhouse was a major waste of time.
I don't think anyone mentioned Star Trek V yet, but I think that was a major piece of tripe as well.
Howard the Duck makes me cringe - I'm pretty sure that movie killed my inner child and needs to be brought up on charges.

I agree on those issues as well LazarX. The Earthbenders were supposed to be held on an offshore metal platform, like an oil rig, but that sort of location would have cut into the nifty CGI budget.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Conquest.
Although I haven't seen this gem, it did get the #1 worst slot in an issue of Dragon magazine years back. That's got to count for something.
Thing about Star Trek V was that its failure was inevitable. After all: William Shatner the producer had only William Shatner the director, William Shatner the script writer, and William Shatner the head actor to work with.
One good point about The Last Airbender was that it convinced me I needed to see the series. Bad as the movie was, the story was solid. I'm glad the movie was made, even if it could have been done better, because it is still more exposure for the series.Trust me when you see the series, you'll see how much butchery the story was put through.
As much as I agree with the latter, the former is a good point as well.
I actually liked the acting in The Last Airbender; I feel it was a very unfortunate script and director for them to be shackled with. Yes, it was far too much material to squeeze into a feature film, and I'm glad I didn't see it in 3D. I still enjoyed it more than any Matt Damon movie.The movie failed on other levels. One of the worst offenders was the fight coreography, particurlarly those that were supposed to represent the "bending" moves. You needed martial artists to represent benders and what training the primry actors got was not up to the task. Shimalyan's obsession with soft focus and weird cutting styles did not help. It also failed badly on logic as well. (Confining a mob of Earthbenders in an Earth pit???) I won't even get started on the "Racebending" issue.
Racebending is a serious, serious issue. However, I also took issue with how the earthbenders were treated in the animated series- as bad as the earth pit idea was, Aang and company had NO problem taking out an actual army(rarely used and green as hell, yes, but we're talking about a well-funded private army) of earthbenders BY THEMSELVES. Earthbending was(IMOO) often misunderstood by the fans as the "weakest" of the bending arts, and then got a HUGE shot in the arm later on in the next arc(again, IMO).
Thing about Star Trek V was that its failure was inevitable. After all: William Shatner the producer had only William Shatner the director, William Shatner the script writer, and William Shatner the head actor to work with.
Pretty unfair, considering that midway through the films development, Paramount slashed its planned budget in half.
See, unplanned budget slashes are things that usually don't help movies.
But then, no budget could ever compensate for the take-home message of the film: "I CAN FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!"
I always figured that was aimed directly at the audience.

dude snakes on a plane was brilliant, and if you went in taking it seriously then you missed the point. It was supposed to be dumb fun and make no sense, that was the point. Question, how many people after they make a point of calling it an empty flight because it's a red eye suddenly appear after the snakes attack, and literally only appear in a scene where they're killed by snakes. It's advertising even let you know you were going to see a dumb movie before you went to see it. Snakes on a Plane is a great film man. It's not like they set out to make a great film that turned out to be stupid, they made a stupid film intentionally to be stupid, and it was hilarious.

Me: "I finally saw that movie 'Hudson Hawk' you were always telling me to see. WTF? It totally sucked!"
My Brother: "That's because you failed to drink enough beer beforehand. Try it again, correctly."Me (1 week later): "Dude! That movie was awesome!"
To be quite fair, you had both the Avatar and arguably the most powerful Earthbender on the planet working together against the Dai Lee forces. And if anyone needs convincing that Earthbending isn't a weak art have them duel the Blind Bandit.

The problem with this is that it really, REALLY didn't work when it *should* have(i.e. Day of Black Sun arc). I understand that would have left the show with a surprisingly short and unsatisfying ending, but the fluctuations of the raw power of the earthbending form is almost as staggering as what was shown for waterbending.
How about the Heath Ledger version of The Four Feathers? It may not be the worst movie I've even seen but it had to be the most boring (even worse than chick flicks). How many movies can you name were the battle scenes are boring?
+1
I have forgotten about this horrid movie...probably was supressing it.

I read this whole thread thinking, "Hudson Hawk so bad and so unremarkable nobody even remembers it." but then here is your post. Yes Hudson Hawk is easily one of the dumbest. Its one of the last movies I would ever care to see again. Yes even if I was drunk.

I remember Hudson Hawk being relatively enjoyable. Better put it on the Netflix queue to refresh my memory.
My personal dislikes include American Ninja, Glitter and the Jennifer Lopez movie with Ben Afleck can't remember the title.
