Noticed I haven't posted, mainly because I never really give much thought to the whole "worst movie" concept. I think it's because 99% of the time I know what I'm in for and the experience at worst is a "meh, I didn't like it." Rarely, very rarely, do I actually watch a "bad" movie. I don't feel like posting most of them because they are actually acclaimed movies that I feel somewhat stupid for criticising.
Having said that, here are five that come to mind right now. If I can think of another five, I'll add them and maybe add in some order.
Ocean's 12 - Never saw the first film and ended up being forced to see this at the last minute (for reasons I've detailed repeatedly in other threads). An uninvolving sequel with quite possibly one of the worst "meta" jokes ever made.
Knocked Up - I'm not exactly mad for Judd Apatow and everything he and his stable of writers/actors touch, and Knocked Up marks the worst movie to have come from this so-called second coming of comedy (it sort of ties with Superbad as well, which I may or may not include). This may or may not be more "overrated" than "worst", but still, I didn't like it.
Christmas with the Kranks - This covers all the bad family movies I've ever had to watch.
Any Harry Potter film - aside from some decent special effects work, these movies have very little to offer. If we have to specify, I'd pick Goblet of Fire as the worst, for the distinctly cringeworthy emphasis put on the whole "Holy s**t, they're teenagers!" thing, namely the Yule Ball complete with a wizard rock band. How something that awesome-sounding manages to totally fail is beyond me.
The Departed - to be fair, I saw Infernal Affairs first, so I didn't really need to see this. But I still did, and was let down badly. There were only about two or three decent scenes and the rest was highly inferior.
