Worst movies of the year: 2018 edition

[samsnee]

What's your pick for worst movie for 2018? I would have put a poll but it really is subjective. It would be easy to pick a movie like 50 Shades Freed, but did anyone really expect it to be good to begin with?

For me, it was Jurassic Kingdom. I thought it was fine when I first saw it, but having re-watched it, it really is just a soulless, cash-in blockbuster that retreads the same beats as every movie in the series before it. At least JW showed us what a real working park would look like. But nothing in JK is particularly memorable or original.

The 15:17 to Paris is the most stupefyingly boring, amateurish, God's Not Dead-esque movie I've endured this year.

 

[Erik Lensherr]

A Star Is Born.

 

[2kt09]

For a second there, I thought I read 2018 was the worst year for movies.
I haven't seen a truly dreadful one, but it's been really stale on the Hollywood front.

 

[Drizzle]

Out of the ones I’ve seen, I’d say Venom. But even then I didn’t hate it.

 

[Boom]

Venom is an awful film, but I actually had fun with it. The Nun is also terrible, but my girlfriend and I had a great time making fun of it.

The Predator is hands down the worst movie I've seen this year. So bad I couldn't even make fun of it. I just sat there and let that **** happen to me.

 

[Deck Rickard]

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
The Cloverfield Paradox
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Rampage
The Predator

I haven't seen many other movies that were bad or that I hated but I'm guessing these are some of the worst ones:

Gotti
Venom
Robin Hood
Slender Man
15:17 to Paris
The Hurricane Heist
Mama Mia 2: Just ****ing Kill Me Already
Pacific Rim: Uprising

 

[2kt09]

Gotti

Oh man! Totally forgot that was this year. Definitely need to see that.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Haha yeah. Just reading some of the reviews had me in stitches. I actually feel bad for Travolta. He used to be a top box office draw and a well-respected actor.

 

[Teelie]

Jurassic Kingdom is topping my list.

 

[StarLord]

From what I've watched - The Hurricane Heist, The Predator and The Outsider (Netflix).

 

[KaijuDude1992]

TOP 5:
1. Skyscraper
2. Solo
3. Proud Mary
4. The Predator
5. Mile 22

 

[AResistor]

Most of the scripts I have to read that are sent in by unsolicited writers. (To offer some hope, out of hundreds I sometimes find one to go to bat for).

Then after that movies that don’t even hit theaters (by this I mean ranging from small indie to major chain theaters) nor are Netflix/streaming-service highlighted for a reason.

Other than that, I believe RDJ once said it - as long as you entertain me in some way, I’m good.

 

[DACrowe]

Happy time Murders
Robin Hood
Venom

 

[Luigi]

Mute

Dull, dull, dull. It's been my least favorite film of the year ever since I watched back in February.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Jurassic World - Fallen Kingdom
The First Purge
Solo

 

[harlequinade]

Cloverfield Paradox

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I'll maintain that the worst is not something entertaining in how bad it is, and it's not a forgettable blank slate, it's frustrating or boring crap.

Batman: Ninja fills that quota perfectly. Samurai in Joker masks come at him, he asks the only one standing among them (asks ancient Japanese samurai a question in American English) "WHO SENT YOU?"....
And things slide down a sloppy mountain from there, non-stop.

 

[-JKR-]

Definitely "Game Over, Man!"

 

[Daywalker89]

Have to admit its been abit of a ****ty year. My cinema trips have been at my lowest for a while . JW2,The Nun,Predator to name a few have been very average . Still got some to watch but in general its all been abit meh and that goes for the highest rated films of this year aswell.

 

[jolldan]

Jurassic World was probably my most disappointed I was overall. Im not even sure its deserving of worst movie its just the Jurassic Park franchise is so iconic that anything other than perfection is considered a serious step down.

I love the original three movies and even enjoyed the first of the new franchise but this just felt like a shadow of any of the originals.

 

[DarkShadow10]

The Worse Movies of The Year

The Predator
Pacific Rim: Uprising
The Purge: Election Year
The Happytime Murders
Johnny English Returns
The Cloverfield Paradox

 

[Schlosser85]

I don't understand the existence of another Johnny English movie. It's like another of those things like Independence Day 2 and Venom with an Eminem song in the end credits, that feel like they were spat up out of some rift in time and space connecting us to the '90s.

 

[lime]

A Star Is Born.

Really? It's worse than Robin Hood and The Predator?

For me the worst must be The Predator. What. A. Piece. Of. S**t.

 

[Schlosser85]

I'd happily rewatch Robin Hood over 15:17 to Paris. That movie was a chore to sit through. Robin Hood is just disposable "meh" action flick.
