Worst Movie Title

I decided the worst movie title of all time is "The rising"
And I looked it up on IMDB and there is one in development

Basically I hate films titles that begin with the word 'the' and there is some kind of weird trend to just add the word rising to everything

Hannibal Rising (2007),
Mercury Rising (1998),
Dark Rising (2007),
Favela Rising (2005),
Deep Rising (1998)
Blood Moon Rising (2009)
Dracula Rising (1993)
Venus Rising (1995)
Serpent Rising (2009)
Valhalla Rising (2009)
Black Moon Rising (1986)
Dark Water Rising (2006)
Dead Moon Rising (2007)

rise of the silver surfer
t3 : rise of the machines
rise of the planet of the apes
rise of the cobra
rise of the guardians
Carlito's Way: Rise to Power
Van Wilder 2: The Rise Of Taj


And of course, there is also the stuff that is very similar just a synonym.

Jupiter Ascending.

Pretty good movie !

"Highlander 2: The Quickening"

Rise of the Return of the Revenge. Any sequel using a part of that as a subtitle.

Okay, we're hating film titles not necessarily the movie, right?

No offense meant toward Spike Lee, but I hate a few of his titles like:
She Hate Me
He Got Game (which was a good film) The rest of his titles are alright.

There Must Be a Pony (1986) This was a TV-movie starring Elizabeth Taylor.
I've heard the story behind the title and it makes sense, but I don't care, I still hate the title.

Prêt-à-Porter: This may have a meaning, I don't know. If it does, then the joke's on me, but either way, I hate it.

Martha Marcy May Marlene: I've heard the film is good, with Elizabeth Olsen supposedly doing a great job in her role, but it seems the title was just a lot of alliteration.

Anyway, just a few.

You should have titled your thread: Bad Movie Titles Rising. I always think of this movie when the subject of bad titles is brought up, because not only it is a stupid title, but the movie blows: Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever.

I may go back to hating you. It was more fun.

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is indeed a bad title. Have not seen the movie but know about it. It's funny, just hearing that title for the first time, I thought, "Huh?" I know titles are not ordained to always give you a sense of what the movie is about but that title is a bit off-putting.

Sounds like they're trying to get a rise out of you.

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde
Highlander 2: The Quickening

Not a good movie, but that title intrigued me .

Cited as an exception to THE rule.

All sound like a joke.

So you're saying all the sequels to Dirty Harry are stupid titles? They instead should have been Dirty Harry 2, 3, etc.? How about the Star Wars movies? Does this apply to books as well?

F.A.R.T.: The Movie

To my mind, the most terrible movie titles are those which consist of a whole sentence, for example, 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' (though I have nothing against the film). Such titles sound so weird!

I'm adding "Flickwish Rising" to the list. Now available on iTunes

Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?

Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind. Ugly name for a good movie.
