The saying, “everyone’s a critic,” isn’t always a bad thing.
Take movies , for example. Movie reviews help people avoid wasting their time and money on complete garbage. And for that we are thankful!

So if you were planning on having a movie night soon, read this first. These 19 movies were so bad, they made people angry!
*The Avengers* (1988)
Instead of Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Scarlett Johannson, this unaffiliated film had Sean Connery, Ralph Fiennes, and Uma Thurman.
It didn’t sit well with viewers — one Redditor said that it was really, really bad.
*Suicide Squad*
“The entire movie feels like a parody of what bigwig studio heads want in a movie. The soundtrack choices, the dumb one liners, the incoherent plot and ugly visuals.” – u/SaltySteveD87. Not even a star-studded cast could save it.
*Eragon*
“I read all the books and went to the theaters with my friends in the 5th grade. It was the worst and I have lost a lot of faith in adaptations of my favorite books into movies/shows after that.” -u/darthbaum
*The Last Airbender*
You won’t hear much praise for this movie. One Redditor had a major bone to pick with the whole gang of earth benders moving ONE small/medium-sized boulder.
Another said that the film couldn’t even pronounce the characters’ names.
*The Secret*
“This pseudo documentary about positive thinking and ‘the law of attraction.’ My coworker convinced our supervisor to have the whole team watch it. I managed to keep a straight face until some guy said, ‘We don’t know what electricity is, but we know it can cook a man’s dinner.'” – u/HawaiianShirtsOR
*Highlander II: The Quickening*
“Highlander 2 is the most baffling sequel ever made. And then they tried fo make the renegade version which made the plot make less sense in my opinion. I just dont understand what happened. Conner suddenly met rameriz on an alien planet? But we saw then meet in highlander 1. It was just so [expletive] weird.” – u/MetalDragonSeeker
*The Lion King* (2019)
For some viewers, the film felt like Disney was just flexing its new animation software. Instead of redoing a classic, one Redditor said they should’ve released a new movie to showcase the technology.
Overall, the film was missing the charm from the original film.
*Fantastic Four*
“It had about the same pacing and structure as the short stories I wrote in 6th grade, and it would flash forward in time in such jarring and crucial moments. It spent so much time on the backstory just to move ahead a couple years and leave behind a cliffhanger.” – u/Shallow_Thoughts23
*The Dark Tower*
“During a time when every studio in the world was scrambling to jump on the Cinematic Universe train, and Multiverses were starting to become a mainstream concept why would you take a property with those concepts woven into the very fabric of the story and completely ignore it?” – u/DrBoots
*50 Shades of Gray*
This Redditor was forced to watch it with their fiancée. But since it was soo bad, they decided to go out in the pouring rain to a party they didn’t even want to go to. All to get away from the film.
*Holmes & Watson*
“I heard there were bad reviews for this movies, but nothing actually prepared me for what I was going to experience when I turned it on. It was beyond stupid. There was can stupid comedy but this was… just not. I didn’t laugh one time.” – u/ultravioletblueberry
*Death Note*
“The worst thing was that the director kept saying that the movie was good and that all those who said it was bad were just trolls. Thank God Netflix canceled the sequel that they had promised him.” –
*Jaws: The Revenge*
The bar is set pretty low for movie sequels. So, it’s not a surprise that this movie crushed the fond memories this Redditor had with the first. It is so unrealistic that it took viewers out of the film.
*Godzilla* (1998)
“I was so angry with how awful it was that it was the first time I openly cursed in front of my parents. And not just one or two. I legit let out a long, colorful string of obscenities as i left the theater. So much so I almost got grounded for it. Fortunately, my dad agreed with me enough that he let it slide.” – u/WanderingGenesis
*Passengers*
“What if we made a movie about being a creepy nice guy IN SPACE. Literally a guy got so obsessed with a woman that he doomed her to dying in space when she was just trying to travel to do her job.” – u/LLDN
*Jack & Jill*
This Redditor is no longer an Adam Sandler fan after the film. They felt embarrassed to watch it and were completely uninterested 15 minutes in. A lot of people think Adam makes dumb movies like this just to earn a quick buck for himself and his famous friends.
*The Hobbit*
“I am not saying it is objectively as bad as some of the other movies here. But the Lord of the Rings movies were/are like a religion in my family. They were so important to me, and Peter Jackson could do no wrong. Coming out of the first Hobbit was gut wrenching for me.” – deleted
*Where the Wild Things Are*
“I was pissed that I wasted a perfectly good couple of hours on that giant hunk of [expletive]. I wanted to kick the main kid into the sun by the time the movie was half over.” – u/Careless_Hellscape
*Pocahontas II*
Both of the Pocahontas films are problematic.
Historical inaccuracy aside, John Smith basically dumps her in the second one and another John forces her to act like a high-class English lady. “I watched it 1,5 times when I was ten and it really rubbed me the wrong way,” this Redditor wrote.
