What is the worst film you have ever seen and why? - eviltoast

For me the shape of water was the worst film I’ve ever seen because the whole story was just so weird and ridiculous… An alien and a woman getting together.

The worst part about it is that critics at the time were praising the film…

    I came here to say this too. We couldn’t even watch it after about an hour. Just fucking shut it off and have no desire to finish it

      I did the same, except I was in a theater, so I walked out. As soon as the beginning of the movie where the humans return and occupy Pandora after a “two years later” hand wave I just knew it was somehow going to be worse than the first, which was passably decent and pretty.

      Like, preventing the humans from occupying the planet was the entire pivotal conflict of the first film, and they just failed to prevent it again in the second one, and it was completely glossed over. All my brain could see was “we want to draw this shit out for a franchise, so the humans are just here now”.

      Then the remainder of the film was just feckin boring and shallow, albeit pretty, but not pretty enough for three feckin hours, maybe it had a killer ending, I do not know

        Yeah it was impossible to care about anyone or anything going on. Basically just “time warp, humans are so ingrained they grew their own evil blue people, oh and the generals alive again sort of, and he kidnaps people, better fight!”

        Fucking ridiculous
