Certainly the first movie that leaps to mind is The Avengers. I guess maybe Uma Thurman in the body suit gives it one redeeming quality, but man, wow, was the most incoherent pile of crap ever or what?
Others that have been mentioned that I really hate include:
The Island of Dr. Moreau
Rocky IV
Breakin’ 2
Some others I really hated that haven’t been mentioned:
Howard’s End Bunch of stupid, petty English twits do NOTHING on screen for two hours but whine. Oh my god.
Sid and Nancy Starting about ten minutes in, I really wanted both of them to kill themselves, the sooner the better.
Pet Sematary Stupidest, most predictable script EVER.
Mosquito Coast I think it was supposed to be deep, or a political statement, or something. Instead, it just sucked.
Man Trouble> Ellen Barkin and Jack Nicholson mailed in every scene, probably because the script was so farking stupid and the director obviously didn’t care either.
Spies Like Us I was a kid and we snuck in. Even paying nothing, we were STILL ripped off.
Honorable mention in the worst-movie-to-box-office-ratio:
Titanic. Most one-dimensional characters ever, so what was supposed to save this, the plot? Hey, we all knew the ending BEFORE IT STARTED. Ugh.
Honorable mention in the worst-movie-to-critical-acclaim-ratio:
2001: A Space Odyssey Boring and senseless. It wasn’t deep or groundbreaking, it was just pretentious and waaaay too long.
Kudos to pheed for sticking up for Hudson Hawk. You have to be in the right mood, it really is funny. Honest…
