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

[Iron_Stark]

From the one's I've seen

Ghostbusters (why isn't that one on the list?)
Dirty Grandpa
Free State of Jones
Independence Day 2
Ride Along 2

 

[David H.]

Suicide Squad for me. I almost feel embarrassed for hoping it would fun, at least.

 

[The Joker]

I've only seen a handful of these stinkers, but these are the worst;

Batman vs Superman
Suicide Squad
Dirty Grandpa
Alice Through The Looking Glass

 

[Greens]

I thought Dirty Grandpa was pretty funny.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I didn't put Ghostbusters on the list because while I know it's unpopular around these parts, it still was received well by critics. Since this is an inexact science, I tried to go with films that were at least critical bombs.

On that note, I also probably shouldn't have put Free State of Jones on there; I did it because I remember when it was first released, it was at something like 5% or RT but apparently as more reviews came in it climbed steadily back up to 47% and I didn't realize it. That's not a great score of course but probably not bad enough to warrant inclusion on this list.

 

[David H.]

Ghostbusters wasn't bad it's just sort of... there.

I'm sure someone takes that more negatively than I do but I do think there are worst things for a movie to be.

 

[Rowsdower!]

It's starting to look like I should have put Passengers on the poll...

 

[scarlet-witch]

The worst movies I've seen so far (mind you, I haven't seen everything in this poll)

1) Sausage Party
2) Suicide Squad
3) The Birth of a Nation
4) Into The Forest
5) Hail, Caesar!
6) Regression
7) Hello My Name is Doris

 

[Rowsdower!]

Was The Birth of a Nation actually bad? I refused to watch it because Nate Parker is a scumbag, but objectively speaking, did you really find it to be a terrible film?

 

[Kane52630]

Nah, Birth of a Nation was actually really good despite outside interference.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Birth of a Nation is a good film but it got killed because of the rape accusations that he got himself into. Killed the momentum of any kind of awards push. Which after Sundance looked like it was a certainty to be a Best Picture candidate.

 

[Mysteryman]

Any really bad 2016 movies that are NOT on the list?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Only picked the ones I saw except X-Men, didn't think it was terrible

 

[nite-owl]

Zoolander 2.

 

[terry78]

I enjoyed Warcraft, **** you.

 

[Greens]

Any really bad 2016 movies that are NOT on the list?

Mechanic: Resurrection

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Of the ones I have seen, Independence 2 was the worst, with Tarzan being slightly above it.

 

[psylockolussus]

Batman v. Superman (the worst)

Dishonorable mentions:
Winter's War
Collision Course
Blood Wars
Warcraft
Resurgence
Through the Looking Glass
Suicide Squad
Apocalypse

 

[Snow Queen]

Of what I've seen this year, Hillary's America, Norm of the North, Zoolander 2, God's Not Dead 2, Maximum Ride.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

This year has been awful for me and movies.
I haven't seen 98% of the movies up there, just BvS and X-Men.

BvS....no doubt.

 

[childeroland]

Shut In. Even for a horror programmer, this pioneers new depths of incoherence and dullness that make House at the End of the Street and Dream House look like masterpieces in retrospect.

 

[Lasirius]

The Forest was a terrible.

 

[Bren]

Didn't watch that many on the list but Suicide Squad was just horrible.
BvS was the most disappointing, but even with my 'faith' in DC being low down because of it, Suicide Squad still iff'd me off with it's pure terribleness.

 

[Teelie]

Batman vs Superman is the one truly disappointing movie I saw on this list. Most of the others I either saw and thought weren't that bad (Suicide Squad Extended Edition at least proved enjoyable, not having seen the theatrical) or I totally skipped because they were going to be so obviously terrible (Gods Not Dead 2, Madea-anything).

The one, major redeeming thing Batman vs Superman had going for it was Wonder Woman. WW was the saving grace of an otherwise boring, myopic movie that was 2 hours of Synder pissing on the characters. Especially Jimmy Olsen whom he seemed to have a particularly awful distaste of.

 

[Heretic]

The only films on that list I've seen are Batman v Superman and The Forest, and both were pretty awful. I would add the remake of Martyrs to the list, as that deserves a special place in film Hell for the quick cash grab and complete disregard for what the original was trying to say.
