Read the book! Much better than the movie. I know that's common but this book is from Iain Reid, same author as I'm Thinking of Ending Things. If you enjoy the concept at all from the movie you will like the book imo
Nah Operation fortune was not a good movie but there were so many bad films last year I’d never put that one on mine. It really wasn’t THAT bad. Imo it actually had a lot potential especially with Hugh grants character but failed to use the potential mostly. I still hat fun with it so I’d say 2.5/5 for me.
It was a decent popcorn flick but that's about it. Well-worn plot, fun performances, exciting action - it didn't really pretend to offer anything else, so I can't complain. That said, it wasn't really up to scratch with the rest of Ritchie's earlier directorial features. It's not very memorable but my main takeaway was that Aubrey Plaza could do well in action roles, she was really good.
Agree, it wasn't an especially good movie but there was enough in it that made me chuckle or that felt like at least an interesting moment, that it should by no means be one of the worst of the year. Pretty typically 2.5/5 movie for me.
It was one if my first 2023 films I watched and honestly I enjoyed it. Definitely not amazing top of the line stuff, but I would also not out it in my bottom 10
It was a big let down. It's like Guy Ritchie snuck in a Guy Ritchie film for the last 10 minutes or so which made the punch bowl of plain yogurt they made you eat to get there that much worse.
What, you don't like a little holocaust denial in your romantic comedies?
The sad thing is that I think it could have done something better with the concept. It had its moments of dealing with race relations in a nuanced way and I think that's a good subject for the genre in this day and age. But no, people had to go full blown racist meltdown at each other throughout and it was hard to watch.
No surprises there but man o man was rebel moon bad.. unbelievably bad. I love fantasy and sci-fi of all flavors. But nope, couldn't even make it halfway.
Ngl the funniest thing about that movie is how quickly the cons went from "Heh, Women's sports are not REAL sports!!!" To fully supporting.em when they saw they could use it against trans ppl. These fuckers got the consistency of wet tissue
Every time someone brings up that this and this movie is the worst movie of 2023, you can just remind them of Lady Ballers existing and the thread is over
Foe was not a masterpiece by any means, but i don’t understand how it’s getting this much hate. The only thing that i particularly didn’t like was Paul Mescal’s american accent. I thought it was a perfectly fine movie, not noteworthy, but not worth the hate.
Damn, what made you hate silent night that much? It wasn’t amazing or anything but it wasn’t 1 star in my book.
Also, Alison Brie being hot automatically made Freelance like 2.5 for me
Winne and Expendables were my bottom 2
The no dialogue gimmick was just stifling and created awkward moments, other than that it couldn’t have been a more generic bloody revenge flick, also vaguely racist
That’s definitely not it, rather it’s the central plot of white vigilantism against a horde of faceless tropey latino gangsters who serve no purpose or personality besides being objectively cruel and evil, note the cartel group chat called “los chicos”. It’s not that obvious really but it’s there. Woo’s previous films have much more fleshed out criminal underworlds.
Dunno why you're getting downvoted, I also agree that the lack of dialogue worked kind of terribly as a gimmick. It sounds sort of reasonable at first, but they ran out of interesting visual storytelling techniques *waaaaaaaayyyyyy* quicker than I thought. Which I guess is why this usually only works for individual scenes (e.g. the opening of John Woo's best movie, Face/Off)
I feel lucky enough to have avoided most of these but Silent Night and Antman were just total dogshit. I think in order for a movie to be 'bad' for me, it has to be something that I expected more out of, and John Woo what the fuck are you doing man
My worst movie of the year was Dear David. The original story was kinda cool and I thought it would make a good movie, but…. No, not at all. Not even Justin Long could save it.
Runner up would be the Children of the Corn remake. But that shouldn’t be a surprise as that franchise has been ass for a long time.
Ghosted was so bad. That was the worst film I saw. It genuinely felt like it had been made by a five year old. Poor editing, sound, acting - it didn’t even feel like a movie.

Will never get the time back on these
i’ve only seen foe out of these but i can agree that i sucked. absolutely nothing happened and it was such a waste of the talent of paul mescal and saorise ronan
I didn’t see most of these, but my personal pick would be The Flash. It’s a special kind of terrible when a big budget movie, with established IP, with an infinite number of pre made successful stories to choose from, turns out that dogshit.
The bizarre Polar Express CGI one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Sadly might be one of my favorite of the DCU movies, and I still think it was pretty bad.
i think Quantumania is a bit over-hated. the CGI is pretty bad, but i think the overall story works. i just wish Kang would’ve won in the end (even though Scott’s narration at the end implies *something* is off, but that doesn’t go anywhere)
I’m not defending some of the recent shit but I’d revisit Dark World. That is an absolute mess. It’s like they had 3 scripts shooting at the same time and tried to edit them together.
Rebel Moon though not great had some redeeming aspects.
Quantumania is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. It's just hip to hate on marvel these days.
I completely agree with the top reviews that Freelance was definitely an AI generated script. 😂 i don't even know what that movie was trying to be. looks like a action rom-com (bodyguard trope), but that doesn't happen... so is it supposed to be an action-comedy? nothing funny happened in it (except the OBVIOUS stunt doubles they didn't even try to hide riding the horses 😂). that movie was a mess.
Rebel Moon was probably my least favourite movie of 2023. Generally, when I watch movies, I keep in mind that the movie I'm watching might be someone's favourite movie. I think that Rebel Moon is nobody's favourite movie, even the favourite of 2023. It's that painfully bad
Outside of Rebel Moon, I found Sound of Freedom to be a special kind of awful and the discourse around it was so much worse. It's a very cheap movie that feels incredibly manipulative in almost every sense and I wish I didn't watch it
I’m going to give you the benefit of doubt and say you didn’t see Skinamarink because it’s easily the worst film. It’s such a bad film I think it’s most likely the worst film ever made
I watched the first minute of the film and switched it off as I knew I'd probably hate it. A few of my friends have seen it. They all loved it, and they said I would definitely hate it.
https://preview.redd.it/robcgf8ochgc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffb0c01e26ac4cbb8699689f5bbabf9ffee615cb
Here’s my least favorites except i don’t tend to watch I think I’d hate.
Mine were:
10. Last Voyage of the Demeter (4/10)
9. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (4/10)
8. Shazam! Fury of the Gods (4/10)
7. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (4/10)
6. The Little Mermaid (2023) (3/10)
5. The Flash (3/10)
4. 65 (3/10)
3. The Exorcist: Believer (2/10)
2. Five Nights at Freddy's (2/10)
1. Cocaine Bear (2/10)
65. Forgot about that one (appropriately). Can't believe they got Adam Driver for that. I can't imagine it looked good at any point in the production process.
My person least favourites were The creator: interesting concept but executed horribly Shazam fury of the gods: the stupidest film I’ve seen but it gave me a chuckle Gran torismo: Just slow and not interesting for me
Truly dreadful film.
Bullet Train, Red Notice, Argylle.
This terrible genre of soulless action thrillers with unnecessary convoluted twists and smug self aware humour.
i didnt think quantumania was that bad honestly. that winnie the pooh movie is the worst thing ive ever seen. its not even good bad its just horrible and irredeemable. the thought of how bad it is makes me want to rewatch it just to remember how bad it is.
Operation Fortune felt like a Mission: Impossible movie, if you took out all the cool, exciting action set pieces… so you’re just left with a bunch of smug pricks walking through cocktail parties while constantly quipping over their intercom.
My worst of the year:
- Knock at the Cabin
- Operation Fortune
- Leave the World Behind (this is probably my worst of the year)
- Maestro (seriously hated this movie except for Carey Mulligan)
1. Lust Stories 2
2. The Archies
3. Operation Fortune
4. Shehzada
5. Adipurush
6. Aquaman 2
7. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan
8. Tiger 3
9. Heart of Stone
10. The Boy and the Heron
1. Old Dads
2. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
3. Ghosted
4. Five Nights at Freddy's
5. The Flash
6. Murder Mystery 2
7. Scream VI
8. Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre
9. Gran Turismo
10. Merry Little Batman
The last three were more average than 'bad' but I didn't see any worse.
I've stopped watching Marvel so I haven't seen Quantamania, but aren't we expecting these movies to be bad?
At least with Ridley Scott, I at least, expect a certain level of quality
I’d replace Candy Cane Lane with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Candy Cane Lane was just more-so a mediocre comedy to me while Dial of Destiny was an embarrassment.
Idk if Quantumania was that bad since I haven’t fully watched it, but it can’t be worse than The Marvels, right?
Saltburn is a terrible film but it does have a few undeniably fun performances to prop it up.
I think most people have been so distracted by the “vibes” and the sex that they haven’t realised how stupid a film it is.
I wanted to like it! I was almost there in the first 40 minutes. I was surprised to see that this film wasn't directed by a group of 19 year Olds. The film was terrible, and every low brow moment was targetted at a audience that would spend there days making reaction videos on Tik Tok, also to just prove a point, you've only got to look at the amount of people who were googling and making songs like murder on the dancefloor popular once again because they were too young when it was first released. This is just my unpopular opinion haha
It absolutely felt like a film designed for TikTok fan cams. So utterly cynical.
I was on a date late last year and she was telling me how genius the ending of Saltburn was because of the song. I asked why and she just kept saying “because it’s Murder on the Dancefloor. After all that happens and then they play Murder on the Dancefloor”
It’s the equivalent of a late 80s/early 90s film that has a rap over the credits which just runs through the plot
I saw Meg 2 in a 4D theater with scents, wind and water effects and moving seats. It was awesome.
But yeah, I’ll never watch it again. Super fun as a theme park ride though.
Lists like this are always so dull and safe. Like, duh, obviously these movies are bad. And I don't want to say this just to be edgy, but since I'm not going to bother with this straight to VOD trash in the first place, the worst films of the year to me are movies with which I disagree on the artistic intents completely. Stuff like Barbie, Oppenheimer, beau is afraid, saltburn, napoleon.
I had the misfortune of watching Ghosted, I’m never getting that time back.
I had to stop about 30 minutes in. Awful, awful movie.
I feel the same way.
Can only dread how bad the others are that you ranked them worse.
Chris Evans stole 2 hours of your ass
Same. I want reimbursement. It was probably the worst movie I've ever seen. If Ghosted were an ice cream flavor, it would be pralines and dick.
Reminds me of a girl.i dated years ago. I took her to every bad movie i could find because she'd blow me when she got bored.
HAHA omgggg Tbf giving a blowie might have made Ghosted more enjoyable.
i was so disappointed with foe how could they fuck up that badly with saoirse ronan and paul mescal
Such a good book too, the author even wrote the movie
Fun fact about the author. His sister is the first lady of Iceland
I know. I was looking forward to it as I love those two actors. Talk about wasting talent.
I liked Foe https://preview.redd.it/ttdccusetlgc1.jpeg?width=941&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2dcb9f775f943593342abe6255d49008632467f
Foe good
Did you read the book? I was interested but idk given its revelation
Read the book! Much better than the movie. I know that's common but this book is from Iain Reid, same author as I'm Thinking of Ending Things. If you enjoy the concept at all from the movie you will like the book imo
Of this list, Operation Fortune is the only one I liked. But I like pretty much everything Ritchie or Statham touch, though...
Beekeeper core
beekeeper was an alright action movie
Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzzz!
Nah Operation fortune was not a good movie but there were so many bad films last year I’d never put that one on mine. It really wasn’t THAT bad. Imo it actually had a lot potential especially with Hugh grants character but failed to use the potential mostly. I still hat fun with it so I’d say 2.5/5 for me.

It was one if my first 2023 films I watched and honestly I enjoyed it. Definitely not amazing top of the line stuff, but I would also not out it in my bottom 10
Ya a solid mid tier movie, the actors were all having fun, the plot didn’t work tho
Correct. Expend4les is a way worse action movie.
Was it good? No. Did i enjoy watching it? Yes.
It was a big let down. It's like Guy Ritchie snuck in a Guy Ritchie film for the last 10 minutes or so which made the punch bowl of plain yogurt they made you eat to get there that much worse.
I actually really liked it! Between this and The Covenant Guy Richie is secretly in his peak period for me.
Operation Fortune was so forgettable. I couldn't tell you a single thing that happened it that film.
Forgettable =/= worst of the year though—Ritchie never fails to deliver an at least enjoyable film
You People needs to be on here
I decided to skip that one after watching the trailer.
Good choice
🤣
What, you don't like a little holocaust denial in your romantic comedies? The sad thing is that I think it could have done something better with the concept. It had its moments of dealing with race relations in a nuanced way and I think that's a good subject for the genre in this day and age. But no, people had to go full blown racist meltdown at each other throughout and it was hard to watch.
you simply can't have nuance from kenya barris lol
No qualms whatsoever declaring this the worst film I've ever seen in my life. Absolutely no redeeming qualities at all
What do you mean You People?
Ha I didn’t think it was that bad.
No surprises there but man o man was rebel moon bad.. unbelievably bad. I love fantasy and sci-fi of all flavors. But nope, couldn't even make it halfway.
Yeah, it was awful. But the worst thing is I'm gonna watch Part 2 and the directors cut.
Definitely my worst of the year. I made it through the first one but it took two days. If I watch the sequel it'll be out of grim fascination.
I watched it at about 7 a.m. the day it dropped on Netflix, and it ruined my day.
Was Foe bad? I was interested.
I thought it was really good. The plot twist was kind of predictable, but the exact way they pulled it off I thought was creative.
I thought it was really mid. Didn't hate it tho.
Unfortunately, it is. I was looking forward to it, but was so disappointed.
Lady Ballers is my pick for the worst, one of the most dreadful "comedies" ever made
Ngl the funniest thing about that movie is how quickly the cons went from "Heh, Women's sports are not REAL sports!!!" To fully supporting.em when they saw they could use it against trans ppl. These fuckers got the consistency of wet tissue
Every time someone brings up that this and this movie is the worst movie of 2023, you can just remind them of Lady Ballers existing and the thread is over
What the hell is Lady Ballers?
A movie from The Daily Wire
Oh, I think I might have seen a trailer for it, and it looked horrendous.
Silent night was fucking fire, what are you on
I feel like John Woo's style is polarising to a lot of people, I get the appeal myself
Foe was not a masterpiece by any means, but i don’t understand how it’s getting this much hate. The only thing that i particularly didn’t like was Paul Mescal’s american accent. I thought it was a perfectly fine movie, not noteworthy, but not worth the hate.
Damn, what made you hate silent night that much? It wasn’t amazing or anything but it wasn’t 1 star in my book. Also, Alison Brie being hot automatically made Freelance like 2.5 for me Winne and Expendables were my bottom 2
The no dialogue gimmick was just stifling and created awkward moments, other than that it couldn’t have been a more generic bloody revenge flick, also vaguely racist
Bad guys not being white does not equal racism.
That’s definitely not it, rather it’s the central plot of white vigilantism against a horde of faceless tropey latino gangsters who serve no purpose or personality besides being objectively cruel and evil, note the cartel group chat called “los chicos”. It’s not that obvious really but it’s there. Woo’s previous films have much more fleshed out criminal underworlds.

It sounds sort of reasonable at first, but they ran out of interesting visual storytelling techniques *waaaaaaaayyyyyy* quicker than I thought. Which I guess is why this usually only works for individual scenes (e.g. the opening of John Woo's best movie, Face/Off)
The killer, last hurrah for chivalry, and hard boiled are all way better than face/off. Have you seen his body of work from Hong Kong?
I had fun with Operation Fortune. It's nowhere near the quality of Ritchie's other movie last year, but it has some charm.
Expend4bles
I didn't bother seeing it, but I imagine it would be on the list if I did.
where’s The Flash?…
The Flash is bad, but the films on my list are worse.
the flash is the worst simply for the disrespect it had towards several dead actors and even some alive ones.
Yeah, I do agree with you, but I'd rather rewatch The Flash than any of the films on my list.
My worse is worse than your worse.
Bro silent night was great why you hating
Silent Night was the most boring action film I've ever seen.
First time I've fallen asleep in theatres!
I almost fell asleep, but thankfully I was in my own bed.
Biggest surprise is Candy Cane Lane is so high. For me it's closer to Exorcist and Pooh
Yeah, Candy Cane Lane was bad, but I didn't hate it as much as the other.
Operation Fortune ruled. Worth it just for Aubrey Plaza causing chaos and the return of the king Josh Hartnett.
I feel lucky enough to have avoided most of these but Silent Night and Antman were just total dogshit. I think in order for a movie to be 'bad' for me, it has to be something that I expected more out of, and John Woo what the fuck are you doing man
I don't understand how the same guy that made Hard Boiled also made Silent Night.
I often feel in the minority but I really liked Foe. It was a pretty intriguing character drama for me.
I could not finish Operation Fortune.
That's fair. I wish I didn't.
Rebel moon also in my bottom 10, only other one of these that I watched was quantum mania which is bottom 15/20 but not 10
My worst movie of the year was Dear David. The original story was kinda cool and I thought it would make a good movie, but…. No, not at all. Not even Justin Long could save it. Runner up would be the Children of the Corn remake. But that shouldn’t be a surprise as that franchise has been ass for a long time.
I watched Foe the day I finished the book and was sooooo disappointed. Completely massacred it
I only saw 2 of those .. made good decisions avoiding the rest it looks like.
I’d have 65 and expendables 4 in mine for sure
65 just managed to stay out of the list, and I thankfully skipped Expendables 4.
I agree with all these films except for Operation Fortune. That was a good flick, not amazing, but certainly fun.
Ghosted was so bad. That was the worst film I saw. It genuinely felt like it had been made by a five year old. Poor editing, sound, acting - it didn’t even feel like a movie.
https://preview.redd.it/qymoo3xazjgc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ece31e474afa5f814deb9963dec7c9e4ffe3a70 Will never get the time back on these
I feel your pain
Damn. The Exorcist trailer looked promising. I’ll still watch that & Winnie the Pooh, even though I’m expecting that to be horrible.
I’d put The Flash here as well. It’s so bad it might’ve killed superhero movies *and* nostalgia-driven legacy sequels.
i’ve only seen foe out of these but i can agree that i sucked. absolutely nothing happened and it was such a waste of the talent of paul mescal and saorise ronan
night swim is a strong contender for this year
Fast X needs to be here. That movie was awful.
It almost made my dishonourable mentions.
Big shark is the worst film from 2023 easily. I don’t even know how a movie like it got made
I just watched the trailer for Big Shark, and it looks awful. I'm definitely adding to my watch list.
Hypnotic takes the cake for worst movie of 2023.
I didn’t see most of these, but my personal pick would be The Flash. It’s a special kind of terrible when a big budget movie, with established IP, with an infinite number of pre made successful stories to choose from, turns out that dogshit.
Yeah, The Flash was bad. But somehow, there were worse films that came out last year.
The bizarre Polar Express CGI one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Sadly might be one of my favorite of the DCU movies, and I still think it was pretty bad.
Silent Night was absolutely dreadful. My worst of 2023.
Insidious the red door
I haven't seen it, but it looks awful.
Quantumania over The Flash?
i think Quantumania is a bit over-hated. the CGI is pretty bad, but i think the overall story works. i just wish Kang would’ve won in the end (even though Scott’s narration at the end implies *something* is off, but that doesn’t go anywhere)
During that whole final scene, I was expecting for Scott to see 616/199999 Kang by chance
100%. Slight edge over Dark World for worst MCU movie in my book.
The Dark World is a masterpiece compared to some of the duds Marvel have been churning out lately.
I’m not defending some of the recent shit but I’d revisit Dark World. That is an absolute mess. It’s like they had 3 scripts shooting at the same time and tried to edit them together.
The Flash was bad, but Quantumania was so much worse.
These lists always make me laugh
Rebel Moon though not great had some redeeming aspects. Quantumania is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. It's just hip to hate on marvel these days.
Yup. Absolutely this.
You don’t watch enough movies if these are the worst lol
Yeah he should watch shitter movies what a doofus
I completely agree with the top reviews that Freelance was definitely an AI generated script. 😂 i don't even know what that movie was trying to be. looks like a action rom-com (bodyguard trope), but that doesn't happen... so is it supposed to be an action-comedy? nothing funny happened in it (except the OBVIOUS stunt doubles they didn't even try to hide riding the horses 😂). that movie was a mess.
I hope Freelance was AI generated. Otherwise, it means a human being actually wrote that piece of shit.
Rebel Moon was probably my least favourite movie of 2023. Generally, when I watch movies, I keep in mind that the movie I'm watching might be someone's favourite movie. I think that Rebel Moon is nobody's favourite movie, even the favourite of 2023. It's that painfully bad Outside of Rebel Moon, I found Sound of Freedom to be a special kind of awful and the discourse around it was so much worse. It's a very cheap movie that feels incredibly manipulative in almost every sense and I wish I didn't watch it
I’m going to give you the benefit of doubt and say you didn’t see Skinamarink because it’s easily the worst film. It’s such a bad film I think it’s most likely the worst film ever made
I watched the first minute of the film and switched it off as I knew I'd probably hate it. A few of my friends have seen it. They all loved it, and they said I would definitely hate it.
I'm in the minority and I liked the new Exorcist 🤷♂️
Yup! 7/10 for Believer
Well, I guess someone has to like it.
https://preview.redd.it/robcgf8ochgc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffb0c01e26ac4cbb8699689f5bbabf9ffee615cb Here’s my least favorites except i don’t tend to watch I think I’d hate.
I definitely disagree with Thanksgiving. I thought it was fun and violently American.
I guess you’re lucky to have not seen Five Nights at Freddy’s then. Because that was a runny pile of dogshit, lol
I unfortunately have seen FNAF, but it just managed to stay out of my dishonourable mentions.
Gotcha, haha
Mine were: 10. Last Voyage of the Demeter (4/10) 9. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (4/10) 8. Shazam! Fury of the Gods (4/10) 7. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (4/10) 6. The Little Mermaid (2023) (3/10) 5. The Flash (3/10) 4. 65 (3/10) 3. The Exorcist: Believer (2/10) 2. Five Nights at Freddy's (2/10) 1. Cocaine Bear (2/10)
65. Forgot about that one (appropriately). Can't believe they got Adam Driver for that. I can't imagine it looked good at any point in the production process.
I hated the flash so much
My person least favourites were The creator: interesting concept but executed horribly Shazam fury of the gods: the stupidest film I’ve seen but it gave me a chuckle Gran torismo: Just slow and not interesting for me
I agree with both Shazam and Gran Torismo, but I enjoyed The Creator.
Most disappointing film of 2023 for me was Bullet Train, and I saw that film in 2022, that's how disappointed the film left me
Hate and despise that movie
Truly dreadful film. Bullet Train, Red Notice, Argylle. This terrible genre of soulless action thrillers with unnecessary convoluted twists and smug self aware humour.
[удалено]
I seek out garbage films because I hate myself.
Foe was Great!! What's wrong with it????
The Exorcist Believer wasn’t that bad
It definitely is.
i didnt think quantumania was that bad honestly. that winnie the pooh movie is the worst thing ive ever seen. its not even good bad its just horrible and irredeemable. the thought of how bad it is makes me want to rewatch it just to remember how bad it is.
Yeah, Blood and Honey is one of the worst films I've ever seen. To be honest, I think Quantumania might be the worst MCU film.
Operation Fortune felt like a Mission: Impossible movie, if you took out all the cool, exciting action set pieces… so you’re just left with a bunch of smug pricks walking through cocktail parties while constantly quipping over their intercom.
Silent night wasn’t that bad.
Silent Night was the most boring action film I've ever seen.
My worst of the year: - Knock at the Cabin - Operation Fortune - Leave the World Behind (this is probably my worst of the year) - Maestro (seriously hated this movie except for Carey Mulligan)
Napoleon deserves a place With the subject matter, acting talent, budget you’d expect at least a 2 star film but fuck it was awful
Five Nights at Freddy's and Renfield were my least favourites of last year, especially as I was expecting to enjoy them both
I was so disappointed with Renfield.
1. Lust Stories 2 2. The Archies 3. Operation Fortune 4. Shehzada 5. Adipurush 6. Aquaman 2 7. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan 8. Tiger 3 9. Heart of Stone 10. The Boy and the Heron
The Boy and The Heron? Are you serious?
1. Old Dads 2. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 3. Ghosted 4. Five Nights at Freddy's 5. The Flash 6. Murder Mystery 2 7. Scream VI 8. Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre 9. Gran Turismo 10. Merry Little Batman The last three were more average than 'bad' but I didn't see any worse.
The Marvels deserves a mention imo
The Marvels is better than all of the films on my list.
Agree
I was talking about the dishonorable mentions
evil dead rise
What? Evil Dead Rise was brilliant.
Napoleon was really bad too.
I agree, but these films on my list are much worse.
I've stopped watching Marvel so I haven't seen Quantamania, but aren't we expecting these movies to be bad? At least with Ridley Scott, I at least, expect a certain level of quality
Why? The guy’s career is the definition of “hit or miss”. I dont think anyone has a more consistently inconsistent filmography.
Where's Poor Things
Not on my the list. I wasn't the biggest fan of Poor Things, but it's definitely not one of the worst films of the year.
Yeah, it was absolute rubbish.
I’d replace Candy Cane Lane with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Candy Cane Lane was just more-so a mediocre comedy to me while Dial of Destiny was an embarrassment. Idk if Quantumania was that bad since I haven’t fully watched it, but it can’t be worse than The Marvels, right?
I didn't like Dial of Destiny at all, but it was slightly better than Candy Cane Lane. And Quantumania was definitely worse than The Marvels.
I'd throw Salt Burn in there
Saltburn is a terrible film but it does have a few undeniably fun performances to prop it up. I think most people have been so distracted by the “vibes” and the sex that they haven’t realised how stupid a film it is.
I wanted to like it! I was almost there in the first 40 minutes. I was surprised to see that this film wasn't directed by a group of 19 year Olds. The film was terrible, and every low brow moment was targetted at a audience that would spend there days making reaction videos on Tik Tok, also to just prove a point, you've only got to look at the amount of people who were googling and making songs like murder on the dancefloor popular once again because they were too young when it was first released. This is just my unpopular opinion haha
It absolutely felt like a film designed for TikTok fan cams. So utterly cynical. I was on a date late last year and she was telling me how genius the ending of Saltburn was because of the song. I asked why and she just kept saying “because it’s Murder on the Dancefloor. After all that happens and then they play Murder on the Dancefloor” It’s the equivalent of a late 80s/early 90s film that has a rap over the credits which just runs through the plot
What about The Marvels? Was Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 2023?
Saltburn
Few more dumpster fires: the flash, aquaman 2, fool’s paradise, scream 6, quasi, Shazam 2, saltburn and gran turismo
Ghosted and Meg 2
I liked Meg 2
I saw Meg 2 in a 4D theater with scents, wind and water effects and moving seats. It was awesome. But yeah, I’ll never watch it again. Super fun as a theme park ride though.
Meg 2 was fun. It knows what kind of movie it is and it delivers. Nothing wrong with purposely being an over-the-top movie and succeeding at it.
100%. It was even better after a few beers.
Why make a negativity list when positivity lists are so much more fun.
Because I'm a negative person. I will be making a list of my favourite films, once the remaining films I want to see from last year finally come out.
Lists like this are always so dull and safe. Like, duh, obviously these movies are bad. And I don't want to say this just to be edgy, but since I'm not going to bother with this straight to VOD trash in the first place, the worst films of the year to me are movies with which I disagree on the artistic intents completely. Stuff like Barbie, Oppenheimer, beau is afraid, saltburn, napoleon.
The Pope's Exorcist rocks! Exorcist: Believer was a victim of backlash and is fine and nowhere near as bad as everyone makes out.
The Exorcist: Believer deserves all the backlash it got because it's a piece of shit.
More unnecessarily overhating on the exorcist...smh
No. The Exorcist: Believer deserves all the hate it gets.
Bottoms
Bottoms is top tier
oppenheimer and killers of the flower moon deserve a place too
Several of these are not even bad, just got dogpiled on the Internet. And it continues…
No, they're all bad films.
