I've seen some tripe at the cinema this year, but the only one I fell asleep during was King Arthur. By far the worst. Not even Keira could save this.

Also shitty: The Day After Tomorrow, Aliens Vs. Predator and I don't know whether it was not having seen the first, but The Bourne Supremacy bored me senseless. But as a fan of films I can acknowledge it's a well-made film and doesn't really deserve to be grouped with the other three.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

Van Helsing
Day After Tomorrow
Resident Evil Apocalypse
King Arthur

 

[Che]

The Day after tomorrow
Van Helsing
Troy
Passion of the christ
Resident Evil: Apocalypse

I could go on and on and on and on...

 

[Fresh Prince]

Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Shaun of the Dead

 

[Gorey]

Shittiest move that I paid to see? Since I haven't seen Alexander yet, and I was smart enough to avoid Catwoman..

Resident Evil: Apocalypse. The first one had some totally unexpected...gasp...redeeming value in a creepy atmosphere and some nice set peices. The sequel is in 'the screenwriter got loaded the night before his deadline and wrote this while puking into the toilet' territory.

 

[Maxwell House]

Harold and Kumar absolutely sucked ass.
I also detested Hero, although that movie is really 3 years old or so.

I didn't go see it, but I bet that Taxi movie with Queen Latifah and the dude from SNL would have to rank way high on this list.

 

[Dead]

No.

 

[neptunes]

have we all forgotten this abomination?

 

[Ristamar]

From what I managed to catch in theaters and on video:

- Van Helsing
- Napoleon Dynamite
- Alexander

I skipped the worst of the shit already mentioned in this thread, so I'm sure a few of those would have likely fleshed out the list (AvP, Catwoman, etc).

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

My votes go to. . .

Shaun of the Dead - I avoided the hype on this one like the plague, but once again Peter Jackson misplaced his endorsement. Perhaps Peter Jackson just likes shitty movies, or maybe he endorses shitty movies to make his look that much greater. All I know is a nod from the fellow who gave me Dead Alive means your movie had better be at least as funny, if not funnier than Dead Alive.

NO DEAL!

I totally regret seeing Shaun of the Dead instead of Team America. I wanted my money back. I expected high comedy, instead I got the Eastenders tribute to George A. Romero episode. Worst of all, none of the dull fucks in the theater got the blatantly obvious Romero jokes. >:|

The Village didn't make me want my money back, but I was thanking god I paid a matinee price to see it. And it sort of confirms for me that M. Night Shyamalamadingdong's movies are only good every other movie.

I was also a bit disappointed by The Incredibles. Not so much that I walked out of the theater disgusted, but I expected more from the pedigree of the creators. Pixar has consistently entertained me, and for fuck's sake - it was the guy who gave us The Iron Giant!

Not a bad movie by any means, but I'm certainly hoping they make a sequel so they can expand on the interesting aspects of the movie. Namely the family interaction and interacting with other heroes like Frozone, who stole every scene he was in.

 

[Alucard]

I'll throw my hat in for Van Helsing. I actually held a hope that it might be a fun adventure movie. WRONG. It was like having tons of candy shoved down your throat to the point that you just feel sick. It relied far too heavily on special effects, the soundtrack was TOO dramatic and the music dumb and inappropriate for some scenes, there were plot problems galore (how does Drac make babies? How do they become little cocoons?), and it was just horribly acted. Ugh. Annoying.

 

[Prospero]

I think I managed to avoid all the truly terrible films this year. But I, Robot and The Chronicles of Riddick were my personal biggest disappointments. (I may give the director's cut of Riddick a try, though.)

 

[nathkenn]

I couldnt even finish watching van helsing, and I've watched some pretty shitty movies

 

[Alucard]

I actually WANTED to walk out on Van Helsing, but the friend I was with was enjoying it for its crappiness. I have never EEEEVER wanted to walk out on a movie, no matter how bad it was.

Dude, you are insane.

 

[firex]

I have to agree with Hidalgo. not that I thought it would actually be good, but it was arguably the worst big movie of the year, I think.

 

[FortNinety]

Also, for me, maybe not shittiest but way overrrated film has to be Garden State.

 

[Crowza]

1. The Village
2. The Punisher
3. Hero

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

Shittiest movie I paid to see was Van Helsing. No doubt. As for others that were horrible, The Passion seems to fit that bill.

 

[SKluck]

I think half the people in this thread have mistaken it for the Best movies of 2004.

 

[jetjevons]

I love these threads because people get to list all the really good movies they just didn't see or get.

 

[shuri]

Hellboy, Spiderman 2, Val Helsing, Aliens vs Predator, Taxi, Soul plane, Dodgeball, all those freaking epic movies (King Arthur, Troy, Alexander)

 

[LinesInTheSand]

I think half the people in this thread have mistaken it for the Best movies of 2004.

i agree

 

[Manics]

I submit Ocean's Twelve to the list.

Also, some of the movies you guys are listing are nowhere NEAR the worst movies of the year. Bad sure, but not the worst. You guys don't see enough movies.

Should be "what's the worst movie released in 2004 that you've actually SEEN". For me, it's Alexander.

 

[Spectral Glider]

AVP with Van Helsing a close second.

 

[Azih]

Van Hellsing.

 

[The Bookerman]

Van helsing sucked.
so did Blade 3...

well it didn't suck. It's all because Triple H looked like a total bufoon... espacially when he ran.

 

[Tedesco!]

Passion of the Christ

Starship Troopers 2

Catwoman

Day After Tomorrow

 

[duckroll]

Alexander.

 

[way more]

What the *BLEEP* do we know?

Horrible pacing, crappy sets, poor acting, bull-shit science, leads to no redeeming value.

 

[Drozmight]
