Worst movies of the year: 2018 edition

[David H.]

Venom for me, though that did have Tom Hardy playing Eddie Brock as Charlie Day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[MadderMaximus]

So far, Malevolence was the worst I put myself through.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Mute
Woody Woodpecker (my child forced me to watch this)
Peter Rabbit (see above)
Soldado
The Seagull
A Wrinkle in Time

 

[Arachnerd]

Cloverfield Paradox. Good god, I'm never getting that one hour and fourty minutes back.

 

[samsnee]

Wrinkle in Time is a good call. It had big ambitions and fell even short of mediocre.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

The Predator. Holy cow, putting aside that old chestnut “autism is a superpower”, the movie started out interesting but then it just kept on sliding down. And down it did go. It legit ruined The Predator mythos, making them into super scientists taking the best genes of the species they kill and splicing the DNA into them to become better hunters...which I should remind you, in this case, they want autism.

 

[THORin]

A Wrinkle in Time. Definitely one of the worst movies ever.

 

[Spider-Fan]

It's a toss up between The Happytime Murders and Gotti.

 

[Heretic]

The worst I've seen is probably Day of the Dead: Bloodline.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Oh wow, was The Happytime Murders that bad? I wanted to see it but then I kinda forgot about it. The premise seemed really funny.

 

[HKpowerup]

Unfortunately these movies were just plain bad from my perspective:
- The Predator
- The Meg
- Skyscraper
- Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

I had high hopes for The Predator but I was struggling to maintain interest. Ditto for Skyscraper. It's not like I was expecting Oscar-quality content, but they weren't even entertaining.

That’s how I see it. If you’re expecting a movie to be bad bad and it is, then mission accomplished. But if you’re expecting bad but fun and it doesn’t achieve that, then it’s just a bad movie.

The Meg's trailer made it look more stupidly fun than it actually was.

 

[Gamora2020]

A Wrinkle in Time

Literally one of the worst movies I ever watched

A Wrinkle in Time

Literally one of the worst movies I ever watched

Forgot about the one movie I stopped watching 5 minutes in because of how obnoxious and randumb it was.

 

[samsnee]

I thought it was going to be a fun movie with great special effects. But it was just boring and hit you over the head with the “love conquers all” message.

 

[CJ]

I haven't seen many films this year, but for me it's Ralph Breaks the Internet. What a bore.

 

[chamber-music]

From what I've seen this year

Jurassic Kingdom - Dumb soulless cash grab
15:17 to Paris - Boring propaganda
The Happytime Murders - Painfully unfunny. Avenue Q did the whole adult comedy puppet thing far better.
Mile 22 - One of the most oddly edited movies of the year. Feels like they cut out a bunch of stuff at random.
Slender Man - Boring and generic

 

[tanita_mors]

Out of those I've seen, The Predator hands down. But I haven't seen a number of movies on other people's lists that keep repeating like Rampage, The Cloverfield Paradox, Robin Hood, Skyscraper,...

 

[Spider-Fan]

It was dreadful. Not funny at all. The whole schtick was filthy puppets, and at this point, that's nothing new. It also chose to compliment that with unfunny jokes and an awful script.

Ugh, that's a shame. But yeah, I can see the whole thing just feeling dated and played out, after Avenue Q (which still holds up, at least in live theatre).

 

[chamber-music]

Probably a unpopular opinion but I found Oceans eight very boring. Considering how charismatic and entertaining the cast have been in other projects it was surprising just how flat and dull each of them were in this movie.

Is that an unpopular opinion? I dunno, but I felt the same way. The whole movie is extremely "meh" and uninspired.

 

[tanita_mors]

Yeah, but is it the worst film of the year though? I thought it was an OK outing, and I loved the ending and Anne Hathaway in it.

 

[2kt09]

Legit forgot Mute came out this year. That's the worst of the movies I've seen and I was looking forward to that the most.
