Movies so bad that you were surprised they were in theaters

A friend dragged me to see Avatar the last Airbender on opening night

I still haven't forgiven him

Drugs I think. He did do a movie with Jacki Chan recently but it was bad in the spirit of this thread lol.

That's how I feel about the 2016 Ghostbusters. It's snazzy and flashy and has production values that the 1984/1989 movies could only dream of. But does it hold a candle to the originals?

Original, singular.
The original cast and crew couldn't capture lighting on a film reel twice; Ghostbusters 2 and Ghostbusters 2016 are of roughly the same quality IMO.

Oooo I HAD no idea. Well that sucks, is that what happened to Sean Williams Scott as Well? They both played good opposite the Rock.

Sad cause Steve-o credits Johnny for getting him sober.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies. No reason it couldn’t have been a direct to TV or DVD film.

It's not even out yet?

The 1976 remake of King Kong was an absolute abomination.

Don't watch the sequel then!

This is the first assessment of Answer the Call I agree with. Somebody finally gets it.

I go against the grain in preferring King Kong Lives to King Kong '76. I mean, it's a bad movie, but it's bad in wacky, interesting ways while, at its worst, King Kong '76 is dull.

Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D and Jaws The Revenge. All three, especially the latter were only a step above the godawful schlock SyFy used to show on Saturday nights.

Drugs I think.

Based on what, exactly? I think you're just assuming.

FYI, he put out a movie in March.

Looked into it can't find anything about drugs. He's been steady working apparently he just isn't getting as high profile flicks as he was at one point. But he's got like 3 or 4 movies this year on his IMDB credits.

I actually liked it. Thought Jessica Lang was hot in it.

There have been bad Trek movies before, but that's the only one that made me feel worse after leaving the theater, like I had really wasted my time. Like it was an hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back. I hate it when that happens.

To me, Star Trek V was bad, but at least there was an attempt to be cinematic and on a bigger scale. Insurrection couldn't even manage to have decent eye-popping special effects to emphasize that Star Trek movies are, y'know, space movies.

That's exactly why I said it agreed Star Trek V has issues, as does Into Darkness, and most of the TNG movies but outside of Insurrection they all look Cinematic where that didn't it really looked like a bland episode of the TV show just with a bad story especially given Picard's history of relocating colonist in the past and the Ba'Ku were colonist not natives. I could really rant about that particular film

I actually watched the last half of the 2016 film recently.

Removed from that I was trying to cut the film some slack when I saw it in the theater, it really falls apart at the end. The special effects were pretty bad, and that "Dance" section with Hemsworth's character(well ,"Sorta" character) was a complete mess. Let alone that whole "Let's Shoehorn Slimer In..." segment.

While 2 isn't brilliant, it does hold up better than the most recent film.
