Does anyone have an opinion on what the worst big budget film of the 90s was???
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
You know, we had a thread like thi sone on here before. For some reason even though the 90s weren't that long ago, I can't think of any movies that came from that decade. I can rememebr countless 80s films good or bad, but 90s is a blank.
I guess if I had to pick one it would be Biodome with Pauly Shore.

Me too Ali-from like 1993-to now, it all seems like the same crap to me, I can't name a movie from the 90's and tell you what year it was, but any 80's movie..totally! I just tried to watch another movie on DVD 2 nights ago, Wrong Turn, it was awful! My husband got it, and I gave it a shot. I am so done with trying anymore, it is useless. The 90's and now are all remakes that are ruined, or sequels to stuff that never should have had a sequel.

I think I'd have to vote for Blair Witch Project. It was so hyped up to be so scary and when I went to see it, I was falling asleep and laughing at the whole thing.
Posted by sam hain2 (Member # 1964) on :
I liked The Blair Witch Project
I have to agree that Waterworld sucked.
I also thought that The Road to Wellville was about the most boring movie I have ever seen in my life, followed closely by Johhny Mnemonic.

There are so many really bad movies...my number one worst movie -I hate this movie, and everyone else loved it-but me... was
Forrest Gump-uck.
I hated: Conair Armaggedon Star Wars-Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones American Sweethearts
There are so many that I think I blocked them all out of my head...
What about now??? Cause we don't have a 2000 and up area...
Some of the movies I have seen that I hate, and I can't remeember when they were...
Wrong Turn-couldn't even finish it Identity One Hour Photo Insomnia The Panic Room The Hulk..
I can add lots to this one
Posted by SHEGOTGAME (Member # 476) on :
hey isis...you didn't like Conair or Armageddon? I wasn't a big fan of Armageddon...but I absolutely love Bruce Willis so it wasn't too bad. I liked the movie, but it's just not a movie I like to watch too much because it has a sad ending. ...But Conair...I loved that movie, i love nickolas cage too. I think he's a great actor and I love the action in the movie.
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
I htink Forrest Gump is a classic. I loved that movie.
Posted by RiverPhoenix4life (Member # 1719) on :
Ima have to go with...She's all that, anything w/ Freddy prinze Jr matter o fact, Space Cowboys(prolly having to do w/ the fact that I can't stand Clint Eastwood), and Showgirls(effing tragic). Yuck!
Tootles! Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
I got it..I thought about something in another post, and that brought me to remember the all time worst 90's movie-to me:
Something About Mary-that was the worst ever!!!!!
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
I have to agree with River. Anything with Freddy Prinze jr. is garbage to me!
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
Oh yeah, and Never Ending Story 3 sucked so bad I'm ashamed to have watched it. There's 90 minutes of my life that I can never have back!
Posted by master_rickster (Member # 2179) on :
I have to agree - the two Star Wars Prequels were bad news. To discover that the Resistance was all about "FREE TRADE" (how 90's is that?) I almost fell off my Plush and Sticky Movie Seat!
Posted by Nick N (Member # 2158) on :
I think I have the worst movie of all. Has anyone ever seen Spice World? Posted by paulshrimpton (Member # 1022) on :
Spiceworld was dire, but at least it had Richard E Grant in it, so wasn't a complete loss (2% redeemable).
Unlike (and I can hear that screeching sound of chalk on blackboard / fork on pan when I type this) Bio Dome, which believe me has the WORST of everything. Pauly Shore, Steven Baldwin, and the rest should hang their heads in shame! It's the movie equivalent of having root canal treatment without novocaine, because anasthetic would certainly help you to get through the most vomit-enducing 88 minutes you'll ever spend in front of a TV set. And to apply the same rules as for Spiceworld, even the presence if Kylie Minogue and Joey Lauren Adams only makes it 0.5% redeemable.
Bio Dome - loathe it or leave it, you sure as heck can't watch it....

i hated titanic. i dont kno why everyone liked it so much they already knew the ending. the boat sinks! and that song that you herd everytime u turned on the radio
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
I thought Amos and Andrew and Snake Eyes sucked. Even though I liked Nick Cage, sometimes I wonder what his decisions are based on. As for Freedy Prinze jr. I couldn't agree more. What we need is a Freddy Krueger vs. Freddy Prinze Jr. movie. Now that alone would be worth the price of admission.
Posted by StevenHW (Member # 509) on :
One of the absolutely worst of the 90's, and perhaps of all-time, would have to be...
"Kazaam!" (1996), starring basketball star Shaquille O'Neal.
It makes "Spiceworld", "Glitter", or "Gigli" look like Masterpiece Theatre...

Captain America (1992) was an atrocious stinker. Why they took this out of the can is beyond me. Horrible.
Posted by BG (Member # 1351) on :
Something About Mary ruled! Some folks just get the mindset that all good movies only came out in the 80s. u have good ones and stinkers from both the 80s and 90s...

I totally agree with BG
As for worst movie of the 90's though... For me that has to be (and many will disagree): Austin Powers: International Man of Misery . God, I hate those movies, to be honest I hate Mike Myers as an actor too. Posted by Missie (Member # 2186) on :
OMG, Isis, I love Identity. I thought it was very clever...
In the 90's...I hated Natural Born Killers...I know, lots of people will disagree with me on that, but I hated it.
What year did AI come out? That was a steaming load of dung.

If I'm not mistaken, "AI: Artificial Intelligence" came out in 2001. It wasn't great, but I don't think it is as bad as the detractors say. Originally, Stanley Kubrick was supposed to direct it, but he had a change of heart and felt Steven Spielberg could do a better job of it. Maybe it's because the ending is supposed to be a happy one, and Kubrick's movies are usually not that way.
BUT...the same concept and story was told earlier (and better) in the 1999 movie, "Bicentennial Man", with Robin Williams as a family robot who wants his own human-like identity. That movie is a better alternative.

not I missie. i agree with you all the way. that movie was a big-a$$ slice of crap cake. Posted by Jessica Rabbit 2 Russian Rabbit (Member # 1904) on :
I love Natural Born Killers that is my Favorite film of ALL TIME, i have seen it well over 100 times i never get bored of it!!!
Just letting ya know, but the more people that hate it... The more i love it! Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
Natural Born Killers....I can't even stand the thought of watching something like that...it's like Pulp Fiction, I know from the strange bizarre movie clips and talk about it, that I wanted nothing to do with those movies. Or the newer Cape Fear with Robert DeNiro-that movie scared me so badly....it is one I can not watch, because it is so extremely violent. I don't like movies like Goodfellas, or the Untouchables, real violence kind of stuff..I don't like mafia movies. I saw they are making a game about mafia movies and tv shows, I wouldn't get one answer right. I could never bring myself to watch Bad Boys, and I hated Independance Day..infact almost every Wil Smith movie-I hated, and I actually kind of like him, but I never liked the Men in Black movies-I didn't even see the last one. I hated the Disney movie The Kid-that was awful. I can think of lots to this one, it is pretty easy.
Posted by Kash (Member # 297) on :
Isis courting controversy as always
NBK is like Pulp Fiction?! Pulp Fiction is a modern noir classic, I mean even if you're partial to the violence just watch Christopher Walken's gold watch scene, I knew this girl who liked NBK as much as Jess and for pretty much the same reasons, but I for one can't stand that movie, I try to watch it thinking that it's Tarantino, its Stone (I'm a fan of both) but everytime Juliette Lewis comes on screen, thats about all.
Goodfellas is modern classic!! I nevr get bored of that film, just watch the excellent acting, the fine directing the powerful story, sure the violence is real and graphic, but so are consequences.
for some strange reason, I quite like 'Independance Day' its a guilty pleasure, maybe becasue I like all the actors in it, even though I hate all that GBA stuff but Bill Pullman's speech is both stirring and unintentially hilarious at the same time, only an acotr of Pullman's calibre could've done that...
worst big-budget 90's movie? Waterworld, Spiceworld, Barb Wire, Fair Game...
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
different strokes people....
i'm sorry. but some ppl just don't see pulp fiction as a classic (me included). to each, their own. Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
I know I saw pieces of SpiceWorld, and of course hated the movie part of it, but I remember liking the music parts alot, even though I can't remember them now.
I liked the movie Fair Game, I mean I never thought that Cindy Crawford was that bad in it, no worse than anyone out there now, that's what I never understood. All the new group of actors like in the American Pie movies, those people suck at acting.
I love Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny, not GoodFellas.
I like Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon-but I have never ever seen ScarFace because I think it would be too much for me.
There are tons of movies that I hate, that I can't understand how so many people sat through them, it is like the stuff out there now...I haven't seen a preview for a movie in years, that looked like something I could sit through. None of it makes any sense, or it is over the top violence. The previews of movies, you have no clue what the movie is suppose to even be about.

Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
jabeen , when you said, "airborn", i immediately thought of a movie that i saw and thought was really terrible... "COOL AS ICE" , starring the guy who was once known as vanilla ice. man, that was bad.
Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
Jabeen...The new Hulk...oh no, that was awful....did you ever watch the series?? With Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno? I have every episode on tape. I love the Hulk. It was great. They ruined it in that movie, it was so fake, and the story, was so bizarre, it didn't make any sense at all. I couldn't even get through it. If you have never seen the tv show, you can get in the clubs for the tv shows, at www.columbiahouse.com It is totally worth it.
Posted by muzzled ox (Member # 1841) on :
Yes absolutely Waterworld! or any thing else with Kevin Costner in it.(Except Dances With Wolves.) Robin Hood was Cheesy too. Medicine Man is up there too. The Highlander sequels.
Posted by Jhutch (Member # 1352) on :
Did anyone like 'Dark City'? I really liked the set design.
Posted by dodgeman (Member # 2318) on :
Groundshog Day with Bill Murray, sorry Bill, not even your acting could save this one
Posted by Stephie9 (Member # 2343) on :
Showgirls would have to be the worst movie of the 90's!!!

Waterworld sucked was really looking forword to this film as amate told me 5* mm thats a joke
Posted by HipsterMom27 (Member # 2161) on :
"Titanic" -- hated it.
"Goodfellas" -- loved it.
Posted by Beet (Member # 2471) on :
Titanic was just average... the cinematography was okay... it wasn't really memorable.
The worst movie I have seen has got to be 13th warrior.
Posted by 7red7 (Member # 2473) on :
My vote for the worst goes with Waterworld or Last Action Here...Both of them sucked pretty bad IMHO...
