Hands down, for the production money that went into it, The Hobbit trilogy.

This is the only movie series that legitimately made me mad. The book seemed so simple to adapt to the screen. Just follow the book, with a little cut out to help with screen time, and watch the money roll in. Instead, we got one of the worst book adaptations Hollywood's ever seen.

The live-action Hobbit movies are the only movies that have a worse budget-to-quality ratio than Star Wars Episode II

From the moment they decided to milk it for three movies I knew it was going to suck. It's a simple little adventure story ffs.
Super hard for me to answer, because I almost exclusively watch good movies that I know I'll like.
Elektra and Daredevil come to mind.
Also Avatar. Amazing visually, but with the tritest of stories and 1 dimensional characters. I was so bored by the end of it.

Barb Wire starring Pamela Anderson. She is not known for being a good actress. I guess she has other assets that set her apart
I think it's mostly her breastsets, not her assets.
Jupiter Ascending - Terrible acting, story & let's not talk about the CGI
Eddie Redmayne somehow managed to act well through the terrible script. Only redeeming part of the movie.

So it's actually impossible for me to have seen this movie, because it wasn't made and definitely doesn't exist, but The Last Airbender. I'm glad it doesn't actually exist, because if it did, then it would have been made by M. Night Shamalamadingdong and would have been some of the worst cinema ever created. Should this movie have actually existed, it would have been a sophomoric and badly made disaster with some of the worst writing, action, special effects, pacing, acting and a complete misunderstand of the source material.
If I were to have pirated it and watched it, I would still want a refund.
But that never happened, because there is no movie in Ba Sing Se.
The second Transformers film was so bad I was actually angry when I left the cinema.
At this point, I don't even know which one that is. Every damn on I've seen has been trash and I swear they are all named something like the fall of such and such. Basically making it impossible for anyone to know what order they're in.

Unpopular opinion but, Avatar 2: The Way of Water. While it was mostly visually stunning, the writing was just βtoo painfulβ.
Very popular opinion. What a huge waste of time. Most expensive B movie ever, and doesn't have the camp value to pull off how bad the script is.

The sausage party or what ever it's called. Everybody was recommending it to me, such a funny movie.
What a absolute shit show was that. The only part that was a little bit funny was with the stoner dude having a existential crisis with the talking food.
This movie was an unmitigated disaster. Awful, but not bad enough to enjoy because of it being bad. Too tone deaf to enjoy watching, not tone deaf enough to enjoy lampooning.
I know I am going to be down-voted to hell but I really hated Fight Club.
I'll give you an upvote but I 100% disagree with you hahaha
Why? Interested on hearing you out. It was interesting the first time I watched it.
I think a lot of people like that movie for the wrong reasons.
I am Jack's complete lack of satirical comprehension.

Star Wars:The Rise of Skywalker. I have never left a movie feeling like my intelligence was insulted until that movie.
That movie was ten times worse than TLJ, an a absolute shitfest from start to finish.

Birdemic comes to mind. Bad acting, slow start, weird dialog, and of course the birds!

The Mary Poppins remake. To be honest, the movie was ok, but what really ruined it for me was the fact that a girl asked me out on a date to see the movie, then decided I wasnβt The One halfway through and just up and left

The first 'The Human Centipede'. ~~The 2nd is kinda cool~~ Also, taking the oportunity to share a community to publish your favourite film frames [email protected]
Setting aside stuff like Plan Nine and Manos and The Room and Birdemic, probably Star Trek XI, the one that JJ made. Splicing together test footage of Bela Lugosi and his chiropractor is one thing, but desecrating something beautiful is a sin.
The room is one of those movies that is just so bad itβs good.
The βDisaster Artistβ is the culmination of that.
In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, starring Jason Statham and Ron Perlman. I saw it in theaters. When the evil army started loading their ninja turtle orcs into the catapults, setting them on fire, and launching them over Definitely-Not-Helm's-Deep, the audience started cracking up and openly making fun of it. It was a terrible movie.
The Super Mario movie is probably top of the list. The jokes fell flat and the entire movie was just Nintendo references. I get it's a kid movie, but damn, Pixar knows how to make a movie for all ages. I guess I was hoping for the same.
Dragonball Evolution
Woody woodpecker, epitome of lazy Hollywood film making, nothing unique or redeeming at all just another cgi mascot in a real world setting with a bollocks story

Used to have a huge crush on Brendan Fraser back in the mid-late 90's. He made some funny movies back in the day this was not one of them.
I couldnβt make past 20 minutes of Cats. Itβs just so bad and weird it makes me uncomfortable watching it.

I've seen a ton of bad movies over the years, but Moonfall has probably got to be the worst I've seen recently. Picture every possible disaster movie and sci-fi movie stereotype and trope... they are ALL in that film. I started laughing about halfway through and just couldn't stop, it was so bad
Mr. Wrong starring Ellen Degeneres as a straight woman looking for the man of her dreams. Yeah. Fucking terrible.
It's a so bad it's good kinda movie but Blood Diner. It's an 80s horror flick me and a buddy found at blockbuster on vhs when we were younger. Shit was hilarious.

I can't remember the worst movie I've seen at home. I've seen so many lol. The worst theater movie had to be the one missed call remake. I watched the original Japanese film later and realized the missed important plot points that were vital to the story. Also it was neutered from a R rated Takashi Miike film to a boring pg-13 horror film. On the bright side it introduced me to Takashi Miike and I've been a fan ever since.
A Christian Carol. I know Christian movies are low-hanging fruit, but the awful CGI, terrible writing, horrible camerawork, and nonsensical story really just make it truly awful.
All the way through? Gothica, starring Halle Berry. I was at a free screening and I still wanted my money back.
