The 1st MK movie was decent form what I remember. It's been ages since I've seen it though.

^^ Yeah it was decent. Great casting, great fight choreography and it wasn't laden with too much computer generated graphics. I think the whole movie is up on youtube if you wanna check it out.

Last really horrible movie I watched, so bad I couldn't even get halfway through, is Identity Thief.

If by "Decent" you mean Mortal Kombat was "Magically Delicious" and "Robbed At The Oscars."

^^Sure
But Johnny Cage was the most awesome character in the history of awesomeness. I was a bit dissapointed that he didn't punch more people in the nuts, but at least he punched Goro in the nuts, which is realistically the only chance anyone would have facing a Sho Kan.

The sequel killed him off in the first 2 minutes. Which is fine cuz he didn't have to suffer through horrible dialogue and A hydra vs Dragon. Sooo yeah.

Pacific Rim is the most overrated movie I have ever seen.

Or Cameron's other overrated opus, Avatar? (Ironic....as I see you now have one. What up with that?)

Anything by the Asylum is good for a groan.

I liked Avatar, but it definitely reinforces my standard practice of "Wait at least two years before seeing any super-hyped movie that isn't comic-related." For years, all I heard about was how mind-blowing it was, and seeing it for the first time a few months ago, I can safely say that, while it's pretty good, for the most part all the hype was due to the "cutting-edge CGI" that still looks completely and jarringly fake when you see it on Blu-Ray years down the line.

As a general rule, I don't like being caught up in bandwagons or hype, and it's human nature to have your natural opinions overridden by what other people say. So usually, when everyone else loves something to death when it's brand new, I make it a point to wait until the hype dies down so I can form my own unbiased opinion. Most of the time, every "Best Thing Ever" is only that for the first five minutes it exists, and after that it's just Pretty Good in general.

Didn't hate the movie, glad I didn't pay theater prices for it.

Don't hate it...it's just "ok" and very VERY overrated for it's completely rehashed story.

Sigourney Weaver sure is holding up nicely... although I have to wonder how much of that is CGI, too...

haha that movie is the best example of a "who needs a story, we have special effects" movie. just a "turn your brain off and watch it" movie.

I haven't seen it yet, heard mixed things, but "Pacific Rim" intrigues me. It can't be THAT bad. For one thing, how can you screw up a movie about giant monsters AND giant robots, fighting? HOW, can that not be great?

And secondly, and more importantly, given the premise of giant robots fighting giant monsters, why was it NOT simply called "JAPAN: The Movie"?

Just youtube the monster fights in Pacific rim, that's all you need to see anyway. The rest of the movie is about bland characters and some ridiculous nonsense that felt like it was added to give the movie some kind of plot.

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is the worst children's movie I've seen. It's poorly acted, mean spirited, juvenile, and it makes no damn sense. Go watch Doug Walker's review to get a taste of how bad it is.

Heaven's Gate gives new meaning to the word Tedious. It's poorly paced and slower than all of the Twilight movies combined.

Garbage Pail Kids really is that bad. I always forget to mention it, because I like to forget it exists. Definitely one of the worst things ever put to film, and shames 99% of everyone else's mundane suggestions. Lucky them for never having seen it. Anyone who has seen it can agree, it physically cannot get much worse.

^^YES. There really isn't anything redeemable about that movie. That kid was so dumb, and then the whole sweatshop factory turn geez.
I've only watched it once but damn. It makes Mortal Kombat Annihilation seem awesome.

While we're on the topic of crappy kids movies

A Troll in Central Park made me die inside when I watched it. It's bland, generic, uninteresting, and so overly cute, that it's nauseating.

I don't know about "worst" movie I've seen, but I recently saw the 2010 remake of "I Spit On Your Grave" (and what the heck does the title even have to do with anything? There was no grave to even spit ON!) and while not overtly BAD, it was really painful to watch. Just so unnecessarily graphic and disturbing. Especially what she did to the sheriff, and that one guy with the tub..... I can only imagine what the sequel was like. On second thought, I'm not sure I want to.
