This was last asked back in 2006 in AnswerBank, and there's been plenty of dreck released since then.

With the imminent release of the new 'Diana' film which is garnering almost universal bad reviews (http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/sep/05/diana-review), which film is your worst...and more importantly why.

Mine would have to be 'Transformers - Revenge Of The Fallen'. Walked out after about 30 minutes.

(Dis)honourable mentions go to Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions (I literally didn't understand anything that was happening) and The Blair Witch Project (by the end, I was rooting for the witch).

Yours?

The Exorcist, I laughed out loud - maybe shouldn't have read the book first, was always going to be a letdown.
lost in translation bored me to tears
blair witch something
I caught bits of a film Mr BM was watching in the early hours a few weeks back. It was called "Primal". It was TERRIBLE.
that madonna on an island thing - that was probably my answer back in 2006.

lately i tried to watch, lincoln and welcome to the punch, both bored me so much i stopped watching
The wording might have been a little different, but it's been asked a few times since.

I'll always shout out John Revolta's Battlefield Earth (It's the whole L. Ron Hubbbard / Revolta's performance / Scientology thing). They spent a lot of money on it and it's total dross. Aliens land on Earth and try to take over. The invasion fails. The plot fails. It's all one big fail!

The live action version of Thunderbirds as well. Gerry Andersen's marionettes weren't as wooden as the acting.....
200 Motels, I'm a huge Zappa fan but I can't get my head around that film at all!

.....it is virtually impossible to get the 'fag-paper-of-awfulness' between them...
Dreamgirls, no contest
Moulin Rouge (the Luhrmann effort)
Rampart
A film I will always regret taking a friend to see was "Alpha and Omega" about romance in cartoon wolves. We cringed all the way through... but to be fair it was aimed at children, and clearly very young children only.
Question Author
I am a massive Madonna fan, and I too found 'Swept Away' pretty horrific. In fact, if I recall correctly, I didn't even wait for the ship to sink before abandoning that film.

Battlefield Earth...excruciating. I kept thinking, "Didn't anyone realise how bad this was when they were making it?"

Dreamgirls however...I have a sneaking regard for that film, in a 'so bad it's good' kind of way.
Question Author
And Moulin Rouge...

Ugh.

Why was everyone shouting?
Death in Venice. (But the mother was tasty, wasn't she?)
Many years ago, Ch4 did a series of "the worst films ever made" and I can recall "The wild women of wonga"(and NO, not those ghastly little puppet loan sharks). There also was "The Killer Tomatoes" and also "The hands of Orlac". The last one was about a concert pianist who needed a hand transplant(!?) and was given the hands of a mass murderer/strangler. OMG, it was sooo funny but meant to be scary. Also, The premature burial with Ray Milland. All of them equally awful.
Blair Witch Project. Was that a plot to waste a cat?
Annie Hall. I've refused to watch anything involving Woody Allen since!
The Pelican Brief. Not a clue what it was about. Maybe will try to read the book some long very wet weekend!
Love Actually
Loved Moulin Rouge - but I can't think of a 'worst' at the moment. If a film is that dire I stop watching.
Spawn ..

I've seen Blair Witch since though, and that comes pretty close.
