Yeah, I think the only movie that was advertised this way and still holds up is the one that started it all; Jurrasic Park. That move is still just as good now as it was in 1993.

One film that comes to mind is Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United. It was as awful as the previews made it out to be. Poor CGI, awful dialogue, lame story, etc. And its sequel, Iron Man & Captain America, looks like it will follow the same pattern.

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.
The original was bad enough. I don't care to know what the sequel is like either.

Probably one of the worst movies i have ever seen is 'The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl'. That just shows that, even if a movie is aimed for kids, it doesn't need to insult their intelligence.

Horrible plot, terrible acting and is just horrible in every way.

I know people will say 'If you were a kid, you would like it'.

I was 7 when i saw. Even back then i thought it was awful.

Dead or Alive: When I heard this movie was being I thought wow now this is a good idea I mean how can you screw up big tits and ninjas. All you really needed to please the fan base was put some Japanese gravure models bouncing and kicking high and Ryu Hayabusa slashing a bunch of people into bloody bits. I saw it just expecting the bare minimum of effort and didn't even get that. Thank god I didn't pay money to see this thing.

Turbo a Power Rangers Movie: While the first one wasn't perfect it at least felt like a movie. This godawful thing was a bad long episode. It damn near killed the whole franchise. Zeo powers and zords were cooler then cars and the end of Zeo promised a return of Zedd and Rita instead some of the lamest villains ever created. Oh and lets not forget kid ranger. After that I never bought a toy and stopped watching the show cold turkey. If it wasn't for getting up and watching Digimon one day and stumbling upon an episode of in Space I never would have had any interest in the franchise again.

Godzilla 1998:Saw this abomination in theaters even skipped school to go see it. I had been watching Godzilla movies since I was in diapers in fact I think one of my first toys was a Godzilla toy. To say Godzilla was an influence in my life is an understatement. At the time the last movie I could even find was Godzilla 1985 none of the video stores or cable networks went past showing the rest of them so I was really excited to see a new Godzilla. Needless to say I don't have to tell anyone why the movie is terrible theirs about 800 reviews online telling why its awful so why waste time on that. But there was one scene that completely cemented my hatred and that was the lets make Baby Godzillas and ripoff Jurassic Park raptor scene. The fact that it got worse from there by having Godzilla get trapped on a bridge and a few jets kill him. King Kong was more badass. Now theirs a new coming one out and so far it looks amazing hopefully I can create a better memory going to see a Godzilla movie in theaters.

Foodfight : This Frankenstein's monster of a movie is infamous for being in development Hell since 2003, when it was scrapped And it should have stayed dead. Horrible nonsensical writing, even worse animation(I'm talking video brinquedo bad), and a story that redefines awful. It's truly a mystery how this movie managed to see the light of day.

Dead or Alive, ha! It was bad indeed, but can't say it was a torture to watch it. It kinda belonged to the "so bad it's good" category.

Battle: Los Angeles, the very first movie I didn't finish.

There's very little salvageable in the movie, the characters are bare basic, bland as hell. The aliens are not really that interesting to hold the movie, and more being such a big threat, they are pretty stupid, well. At least the drones are extremely dumb, too dumb to be a big bad thing when they find out the smaller aircraft are drones. Story was basically non-existent and boring. effects was okay.

Overall, it was boring. Which in my opinion is worse then being a bad movie, at least bad movies can be viewable and funny. This one was not that kind of bad.

Did notice the guy playing Michelangelo in the up-coming TMNT movie, he was... certainly in the movie, that's the best I can say about him.

I skipped that movie, and listened to Jolly Jack's review instead. Now, that was entertaining.

"Dead Or Alive" was in a sense "bad on purpose", but only in that it was doing a very literal "live action video game" the way "Speed Racer" was a live action cartoon. That approach isn't to everyone's taste, but frankly, I think it works better that way. DOA games are ridiculous and absurd, and the movie being so over-the-top was exactly what I was hoping for. Plus... NASH! I heard from him that pretty much the entire cast had severe food poisoning for the entire shoot and that it was a pretty lousy experience for everyone involved. But the checks cleared, so there's that.

First time I saw "Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li" and the DOA movie, I watched them back-to-back. Street Fighter was a total disaster, and beyond that, for something SO bad it actually tried to take itself seriously, which was a huge mistake. Watching DOA right after was actually an amazing contrast, because it did right everything SF did wrong. Except for the lack of Hitomi. I was pretty pissed at the complete lack of Hitomi. She's in the credits but I swear her part must have been 3 seconds long.

I'unno, I like it. It's one of the best video game movies ever, for sure. Very low bar, obviously, but it took a silly premise and had some fun with it.

Oh, don't even get me started on Street Fighter, that movie was unbearable. And how sad is it that the Street Fighter movie is more violent than the Mortal Kombat movie?

For everything that Legend of Chun-Li did wrong, The King of Fighters Movie did just as bad, but with a lower budget.

If you want a good street fighter movie, then watch the 1992 animated movie.

I know Mario Bros was mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread and found it a hilarious coincidence that it was just made available to buy via vod on rifftrax! You get the movie merged with the riff in this case. It's about $10, so this is the only way I'll ever be buying the movie. Yes, I caved and bought it. I love MST3K so no one had to twist my arm. Good stuff. The riffs, not the movie itself.

Doogal - Painfully unfunny and outdated. There are so many pop culture references, you'll swear you were watching Friedberg and Seltzer movie.

Got it for Christmas back in 2012. I need to crack the damn thing open at some point. I don't really care about having it spoiled for me or anything. Out of the two I've seen so far, I liked Dark Knight the best. Most people I talk to about DKR say things like,"Meh, it's just kinda there," or,"Not as good as the other two." Guess I should see for myself this coming weekend when I have some downtime.
