The Most Poorly Titled Movies of All Time

[That-Guy]

Have you ever been completely turned off by a movie because the title made it sound f**king stupid? I know I have. I know that you should never judge a book by its cover, but when the producers of a horror movie couldn't come up with anything more creative than "They," I think you can pretty much guarantee that you're in for a suckfest. (And that movie definitely was a pile of crap in every possible way).

Here are some of the dumbest titles ever conceived, in my opinion. Feel free to add more.

Bangkok Dangerous

The Fast and the Furious (followed by the piss-poor efforts of its sequels, 2 Fast 2 Furious and umm... Fast & Furious)

Knowing

Any movie that starts with the words "The Haunting"

Fighting

Mutant Chronicles

Batman Forever

Hancock

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

The Happening

Made of Honor


More to come...

 

[Wesley Dodds]

ANy film that begins with "The Legend Of..."

 

[MaskedManJRK]

"Fighting." I mean, seriously? That's the best they could have thought up?

I'm just hoping that they'll make a porno based on it called "F**king."

LMAO!!! They could also make "Fisting."

 

[Octoberist]

The PHANTOM MENACE

 

[That-Guy]

Blue Crush

Any movie with "Rise of the" or "Revenge of the" somewhere in the title

Eye See You, or its original title, D-Tox (both are equally stupid)

27 Dresses

Demolition Man

Eraser

Live Free or Die Hard

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (AKA George Lucas rubbing our faces in the fact that he totally half-assed this trilogy)

To be fair, when you think about it, The Fast and The Furious is a great title. Don't let the movies ruin the title for you.

Batman Forever isn't that bad; funny enough there was a scene that they left out in the final cut when Bruce realizes that he's going to be Batman...forever. So the name has meaning.

Whatchu talkin' bout willis. That's a great movie title.

 

[Episode29]

To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar

 

[Octoberist]

27 Dresses is not a bad title; it's just generic.

 

[Octoberist]

though the movie is far from being out, I would like to suggest the awkward title of "The First Avenger: Captain America".

 

[Changeling]

X Men Origins: Wolverine

 

[Octoberist]

X Men Origins: Wolverine

I hope that you don't get offended but...

THE CHANGELING.

 

[Sarge 2.0]

To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar

Oh yeah. Another transvestite movie with a bad title would have to be The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Passenger 57

Seriously, what the **** kind of weak ass title is that?

 

[Sarge 2.0]

I know that "Fighting" has been mentioned several times...but Jesus it's a ****ing terrible title.

 

[xwolverine2]

H20

2 fast 2 furious

HP: and the sorcerors stone

Bourne supremacy & Ultimatum

alien resurrection

Die Hard 2: Die Harder

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Shriek

Seriously, stupid title.

 

[SuperFerret]

Most of the titles that've been mentioned are perfectly fine titles. The only bad ones are the really awkward ones, like 2 Fast 2 Furious and First Avenger: Captain America. The rest all have some sort of meaning, and as bad as the movie "They" was, the title is a good one based on a synopsis I've read, regardless at how simple and uncreative the title is.

But you'll probably complain about the titles of "Them" and "It" too.

 

[Lobo]

X Men Origins: Wolverine for ****s sake, why not just call it Wolverine?

Fighting

I Still Know what you did last Summer

2 Fast 2 Furious

 

[Sawyer]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is quite possibly the most offensive title I have ever laid eyes on. Seeing as how Fox treated the first three X-films were essentially "Wolverine and His Amazing Friends", why would they put X-Men on his title, as if he cant sell a movie on his own? Oh, wait, it was to shove in characters that dont belong in his origin story, like Gambit, Emma Frost and Cyclops (what, Fox, you didnt get enough out of not giving him any story in the X-trilogy, you have to shove him in here, where he DOESNT. ****ING. BELONG.)

**** you, Tom Rothman.

 

[Changeling]

I hope that you don't get offended but...

THE CHANGELING.

It's cool. My name's based on Garfield Logan or "Beast Boy" from the Teen Titans he used to be known as Changeling.

 

[Hurm...]

Definitely one of the worst:

When A Stranger Calls.

 

[Kargo Warrior]

Best Of The Best

 

[Laderlappen]
