Bottom of the Barrel: What Were the Worst Movies of 2016?

[Rowsdower!]

So... 2016. Yeah, this year has sucked a lot. I know a lot of people can't wait for 2016 to end, but I honestly wish it were somehow possible to stretch time so that 2017 and a Trump presidency would never see the light of day.

Anyway, as we say farewell and f**k you to a spectacularly sh**ty year, I'm curious which films were the worst of the worst this year. I posted a poll based on RT scores and overall discontent, but feel free to list other films that you thought were worse than these ones. For my money, the sh**tiest movie of the year had to be WARCRAFT. I couldn't get through an hour of that turd. Everything about it was garbage. Bad acting; bad writing; hacky, scattershot direction; and the FAKEST looking CGI creatures, landscapes and armor I've seen in a fantasy film since I don't know when. Even worse, it proved, yet again, that we will never ever ever ever ever see a good movie based on a video game. NEVER.

Other hopefuls for me include BvS, Suicide Squad and Independence Day: Resurgence.

 

[Drizzle]

Independence Day: Resurgence for sure. TMNT: Out of the Shadows was almost as bad.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Independence Day: Resurgence for sure. TMNT: Out of the Shadows was almost as bad.

Ugh. Forgot to include that one. I didn't see it, but if it was anything like the first one then I'm sure it was awful.

 

[ripse]

Suicide Squad, BvS, Gods of Egypt, Max Steel, and Zoolander 2

 

[Fallen Angel]

Kickboxer: Vengeance

Trust me bro when Van Damme is your best ACTOR in the film you know you've f'ed up.

 

[Octoberist]

Independence Day: Resurgence because it wasn't fun. How could you not make it fun?

 

[Doctor Jones]

BVS and SS.

I didn't not expect SS to be that damn low. I was expecting something that may have even been a bit better than what everyone was saying. But nope. I just don't get how two of the worst movies of the year for me were both two huge DC movies.

WB get your ****ing **** together. The box office isn't going to save you much longer.

 

[Boom]

Of the films I've seen:

Batman v Superman
Independence Day: Resurgence
Suicide Squad

 

[StarLord]

Dirty Grandpa.

F***ing piece of unfunny horse dung.

 

[Octoberist]

Suicide Squad hurt me more than Batman V Superman.

From Leto really questionable performance to the music cues, it's just a mess. There are some highlights but not enough for me to recommend the film.

It's like a merging Boondock Saints 2 and a confused Juggalo adolescent.

 

[LoganGambit87]

recently saw gods of Egypt on tv my god it makes bvs and suicide squad look like oscar contenders

 

[Kaleb]

The Do Over
Dirty Grandpa
Zoolander 2
Gods of Egypt

 

[Xrated48]

Batman v Superman
Independence Day Resurgence
Ghostbusters
Zoolander 2
Warcraft
Suicide Squad
Gods of Egypt
Max Steel

That might be the best description of Suicide Squad I've heard yet.

 

[Ivan Drago]

Suicide Squad. Dumpster fire. One of the worst modern day comicbook movies.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Ugh. Forgot to include that one. I didn't see it, but if it was anything like the first one then I'm sure it was awful.

I tried really hard to see the good in it. There is some (the turtles themselves), but literally every single other thing about the film is grade a garbage. Even my nephew hated it; when you have a seven year old in the prime of turtle mania say "that movie was bad", you know you screwed up.

 

[Steyin]

Easily ID:R and Ghostbusters.

Yeah, I tried watching the first one a while back when it showed up on Netflix and I turned it off after about it hour. It was just an excruciating experience; the Turtles themselves weren't charming or funny at all and Megan Fox proved (once again) that she can't act. And now she's might play Poison Ivy.

 

[Kane52630]

I'd go with ID4 2.

And Free State of Jones was actually really good.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Wow, I'm surprised more people haven't voted for Warcraft. As much as I hated ID, BvS and Suicide Squad, at least I was able to get all the way through those movies.

 

[samsnee]

Trolls. I know I'm supposed to cut it slack for being an animated kids movie, but everything about it was pedantic.

 

[Rowsdower!]

You couldn't pay me to sit through Trolls.


Good God, I'm going to be such a horrible father if I ever have kids.

 

[Bats123]

From what i've seen, my bottom 10: (from worst to least worst)
1.Ice Age 5
2.Ben-Hur
3.Alice Through the Looking Glass
4.Blair Witch
5.Independence Day: Resurgence
6.Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (ever)
7.Inferno
8.Suicide Squad
9.The Legend of Tarzan
10.Batman v Superman

 

[Rowsdower!]

6.Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (ever)

You've got to love when a bad movie opens itself up to easy criticism with a dumb title. t:

 

[Greens]

Out of the movies I've seen, Independence Day: Resurgence, the theatrical cut of BvS and London Has Fallen.

Biggest disappointment of the year... Suicide Squad
