I like DKR, but it is admitedly the cheesiest of the three, plus

Spoiler:
It gives Batman a rare Walt Disney ending, which did rub purists the wrong way. Not me though, mainly out of my love for Earth 2 Batman

Saw Dahmer the other day (About the killer Geofrey Dahmer ) and it's not terrible, just terribly boring. I would never watch it again.

Agreed. Chun-Li in the shower blew my 10-year-old mind.

Is it bad that I felt the same way when I first saw this?

I think we all did. The internet wasn't a thing, hardcore anime like La Blue Girl wasn't really mainstream yet, and "cartoons were just for kids".

Silly me saw it advertised in EGM as an "Adult Animated Film" and figured, since it was about guys beating each other up, it was just really violent. So, bewbs were a very pleasant surprise. My parents never gave a sh*t what I watched, but this was still an awkward conversation...

Dad: "So what was that Street Fighter cartoon like?"
Me: "Um... good. It was good."
Dad: "Why did it say it was for adults? Was it really that violent?"
Me: "Uhh... not as much as you'd think..."

Yeah

Speaking of movies, animated ones in particular, Foodfight is borderline unwatchable. Here's a glimpse if you're morbidly curious:

A movie so horrible that I forgot the title

I stumbled across this movie a few years ago. It was some Lord of The Rings knockoff. I have no idea how old it is and I don't really remember the title. It might not have had the name Max in the title, but it was about some kid named Max who gets sucked into some fantasy world. There's some goblin king dude, some kind of sidekick mouse, a princess, some weird guy who keeps speaking in rhymes, etc. I've tried to figure out what the heck I watched, but I think I subconsciously wiped my own memory. It wasn't Mighty Max, Max Payne, Mad Max, or just plain ol Max. It was a pretty cheaply made little film. I do remember that much. Needless to say this orc or goblin king what'shisface gets shrunk and humiliated in the end and all the oppressed run off to play Playstation. Not kidding. Everyone freaks out because ol Max has a ps1 and apparently decide to crash at his place for the rest of their lives. Their own magical world was just that horrible, I guess. It would have been perfect for the MST3K guys to riff.

Glimpse? and you put down the whole damn thing
You're a trip.
It looks like cut-scenes from a ps1 game spliced together. I watched a snippet of it and it's pretty bad.

The movie, "Divergent" is the worst movie I have seen currently. More could have happened in the plot sequence to make it better. It was like watching a blend of Equilibrium, Matrix, and Hunger Games. Blaugh!

The ABC's of Death... Never again. It was just terrible, I kept hoping that the movie would get better after the first few letters, i fell asleep around letter P (I think), and most of the death's were so darn stupid.

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.
You'll be disappointed even with the lowest of expectations. I went in thinking it was a good movie, not high expectations but def not thinking it would be bad. It was a train wreck! I was at the drive ins. Was the only person to stick through the whole thing. halfway through there had to be about only 3-4 cars left including myself. It was an absolute bore with so many plot holes.

It makes all of his victims look really gullible. But I dunno what I expected to be honest.

And The Dark Knight Rises isn't that bad. It just isn't as solid as the other 2 movies. As in too many laughable things in it (that aren't supposed to be funny) and plot holes. Best thing about that movie was the ridiculous Bane voice and Hathaway.

"Atlantic Rim" My husband put it on for I don't know what reason and just from the title I knew we WEREN'T in for a treat and yup! it was bad. People lying around dead for no apparent reason, soldiers shooting at a sea monster and then falling over dead with the only feasible reasoning being they somehow miraculously got hit by a ricochet. One guy has a shot gun and all he does is **** it over and over, never actually shoots it. Plus several "actors" do the old superman movie gun shooting motion like reverse kickback... Heck, even the title is wrong, it should be "Gulf Coast Rim". I'm not even going to touch the acting.... and apparently neither did the actors, lol. It was amusing to to watch MST3000 style, but that's about the only merit it has as a film.

I think my favorite is the scene where one of our heroes goes looking for a 12 year old girl in a burning bar where everyone else is dead (again for no apparent reason) and finds her hiding by the safe. He gets her out of the bar with her riding piggy back (how heroic).

It's great to watch if you want to rag on a movie with your friends though- just describing the thing to a buddy of mine, left him in stitches!

Birdemic 2 - Believe it or not, it's WORSE Than the original, in every possible way. It's as if the film markers were striving to make it just as bad as the first.

Yeah, ordinarily I'm a fan of "so bad they're good" movies but Birdemic 1 & 2 had no redeeming qualities.

Napoleon Dynamite is the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. Its existence offends me.

My former fiancee had nephews who wanted to be Napoleon Dynamite for Halloween, and I've seen the "VOTE FOR PEDRO" bumper stickers, so inevitably I rented the movie. It was stupid, unrealistic, badly acted, boring, and not the least bit funny. I only watched to the end because I was waiting for the funny part which never came.

One man I know told me that when he was a kid, he thought this movie was funny, but as an adult he couldn't imagine why he ever did. I get the impression that people say it's funny because they're supposed to, not because they actually do.

My family went and rented it a while back because I had a cousin that thought it was hilarious. I too tried to wait for the funny part but got so frustrated I walked out of the room before it even finished.

Scott Pilgram Saves the World - I simply hated it . Friends in their mid 20s loved it because they "got" all the video game and cultural references. I'm more of a paper and pen, table top, D&D gamer. Didn't "get" the movie and didn't care to. Epic suck.
