The Most Poorly Titled Movies of All Time

[Sentinel X]

The Wind that shakes the barley

I just HATE that title. I know it is based on some short poem but still...it just seems to irk me.

 

[That-Guy]

He Got Game

She Hate Me

Love Happens

The Core

Future War (It wasn't about a war and it didn't take place in the future. Epic fail! Also one of the worst movies ever made.)

Rock Star (they should have stuck with the original title "Metal God," which is so much better instead of being as generic as possible)

 

[Diamondhead]

Supper man we turned
Spy the man
rounder woman
bratman brigans
the dork knight...

That looks like a regular superhero post

I'm not a fan of the 'Law Abiding Citizen' title, but the film looks interesting.

 

[That-Guy]

Woah, a1ant, haven't seen you in a while. I kind of like the "Law Abiding Citizen" title, actually... the movie looks like it might be good by my guess is that they'll cop out at then end of it since it's a mainstream movie. Which sucks because I'd like to see a movie where a guy takes revenge on our severely flawed justice system and actually wins.

 

[Doctor Jones]

It looks pretty bad. It's an interesting premise but probably with bad execution with the wrong cast.

 

[That-Guy]

Yeah, you're probably right. Butler is so-so and I haven't seen Jamie Foxx do anything that merits the ridiculous amount of praise he gets from critics. And before someone asks, yes, I've seen Ray. Just my opinion, but he looked more like he was doing a bad Saturday Night Live impersonation of Stevie Wonder.

 

[gwynplaine]

Mr Magorium magical emporium, or something.

 

[the a1ant]

^Agreed

I hope they don't, but they probably will.

 

[Hotwire]

Most movie titles no longer sound as cool since Don LaFontaine is no longer here to say them in his famous voice overs.

 

[Hotwire]

"Insert any original movie title here" 2,3,4,5,6,7,etc....
Can't we come up with something else? The Batman franchise pulled it off, and so did James Bond. Although, there are some dumb James Bond titles.

 

[dude stannis]

Yes, because a movie with CGI chains swinging through the air and guys jumping around doing stunts that aren't humanly possible doesn't possibly have a chance of being bad.

Exactly.

 

[JokerLedger]

How Stella Got Her Groove Back

 

[ultrasuperduckman]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

After seeing the movie I don't really care, but had it been good?

Weapon X all the way.

 

[Bruce Banner]

Deathwish 5: The face of Death....



I should post this movie on the last bad I saw thread as well

 

[Sarge 2.0]

The Wind that shakes the barley

I just HATE that title. I know it is based on some short poem but still...it just seems to irk me.

Really? I think it's rather beautiful.

 

[DarkReflections]

Alien vs Predator: Requiem

 

[8wid]

Quantum of Solace is so vague it makes no sense.

 

[Ipodman]

Having a 'subtitle' is good because u rmb what each film was about...
imagine 40 years from now... "Spider-man 5 was the one where he fought Electro! Nono, its the one with Vulture... no thats not right.. er.. its the one with him dancing!"

Whereas u know what Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is about... thats right Humping

The Dark Knight... what's so dark about a knight?
Batman Begins.... what begins?
Inception.... what about this movie involves inception?
Avatar...Blue Aliens can't bend air! t:
Iron Man... but he's not made out of iron
The Matrix... they should just called this movie a "Series of Lucky Fortunate Events"
Passion of The Christ .... there's nothing passionate about getting crucified..
Titanic... should have been called "Two Lovers and A Ship"

.......................................

[Sarge 2.0]

Fail.

 

[Lighthouse]

I agree with Patton Oswalt on this. I hate movie titles like "As Good As It Gets", "Whatever It Takes", "Whatever Works", "She's All That", "Because I Said So" etc,etc...

 

[Asteroid-Man]

:clearsthroat:....




The Dark Knight... what's so dark about a knight?

The fact that he's a hero with almost no limits.

Batman Begins.... what begins?

Batman.

Inception.... what about this movie involves inception?

The scene of the crime being psychological.

Avatar...Blue Aliens can't bend air! t:

The people in the movie become new personifications

Iron Man... but he's not made out of iron

Originally he was

The Matrix... they should just called this movie a "Series of Lucky Fortunate Events"

Matrix means Womb. If you don't get the connection, you fail.

Passion of The Christ .... there's nothing passionate about getting crucified..

Christ showed passion to the people who he died for and the people who killed him

Titanic... should have been called "Two Lovers and A Ship"

The name of the Ship is the Titanic.





God I leave meeting Sarcasm with Reason.

 

[Sundancer]

I'm not a fan of the 'Law Abiding Citizen' title, but the film looks interesting.

Agreed.

I'd say The Empire Strikes Back! is pretty bad if Lucas hadn't been going for the pulp feel

The Lost Boys is supposed to be a reference to same-titled group in Peter Pan, a refernce to never getting older. Plus, they're damned.

How about Frankenweenie?

Dude, Where's my Car?


A Clockwork Orange--great movie, but wtf?
