Having watched Skyline yesterday and being a tad disappointed by what could easily have been a great film (if they had included a story, likeable characters and a different ending) I was wondering what films you've been bitterly disappointed by or would warn people off entirely?
Sticking with Sci-fi, 2012 is the most recent one to spring to mind. I felt as if a portion of my life had been ripped away from me after watching that. Battlefield Earth is a film I just couldn't sit through until the end, and that rarely happens to me. Lastly, Highlander II was a bitter disappointment considering how good the first film was and luckily the 3rd fared much better.
Outside of Sci-fi, Disaster Movie or any one of the more recent 'spoof' movies could well be considered too terrible to watch.

Are you being serious about The Godfather films Chris ?,the first 2 are absolute classics.
If you are then fine,everyone's entitled to their opinions.There are quite a few things many people have loved that I didn't care for.Avatar is one that springs to mind.Personally I found it far too long,very predictable and couldn't find an original idea in the damn thing.I would sum up Avatar as little more than Pocahontas,Dances With Wolves & Brother Bear, mixed together and set it in space.That's my opinion and yet it got nominated for a best picture Oscar and most people seemed to love it ?.I didn't think it was a terrible film,merely a very average one.
Avatar scored 8.3 on IMDB,so perhaps the site does suck after all ! :)

I don't know whether you're actually expressing your opinion or you're just trolling for a reaction but that was an outrageous statement. I'm no fan of the subject matter but both of films are quite obvious masterpieces of storytelling.
Seriously, that post was filled with such wrong that I'm considering putting you on ignore.[/i]
Hey if you want to block me for my opinion, feel free :D But I was being sincerely serious.

[i]And another thing that will always put me off IMDB's reliability is the fact that the first 2 Godfather films are in the top 3. I wasted hours watching The Godfather, and it's one of the few films were I felt cheated of my time. Absolute rubbish. Most overrated film ever created.

A fantastic 2.8 for Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus 36.7% gave it 1/10.
Remember if a film is so bad, some people will give it 10/10 as a joke. 15% gave MS vs GO 10/10 purely as a joke (honestly if you've watched it, you'll know why. It's so bad, it's funny).

798 people gave it 10/10 ! :0
That is actually pretty scary.
Just read that Wesley Snipes has just been sentenced to 3 years in prison for tax evasion.
Right,back on topic of worst films ever.Wild Wild West,that sucked.

But it was it not the IMDB ratings which I quoted in my earlier post that you stated did not help my argument ? :S
It wasn't quoting the ratings, it was quoting the site in general. It's like citing Wikipedia as a source of information, never going to be reliable because of the sheer number of morons present. Like the 798 people who gave the remake 10 out of 10

I do agree 4.6 is far too generous a score for Psycho (1998), it was total garbage and one of the worst remakes ever IMO.
