The Doom movie.
It wasn’t even originally written to be Doom; just a bullshit, mediocre sci-fi nobody would have cared about until they forced the Doom franchise upon what would have worked better with Resident Evil because it was less Doom and more Resident Evil in spaaaaace. It also made me dislike The Rock because he lied his fuckin’ ass off about the movie.
Mario Bros would be here, but it looked like crap even from the trailers as a kid.
All the rock does is lie. I can’t stand his fake persona.
Almost falls into the “so bad it’s good” category for me.
Almost.
The ending part with the FPS was kinda ok they should have just made the whole movie FPS like hardcore Henry.
That movie hurt my feelings. They couldn’t even be demons?!
ET for the Atari 2600. Yes, I’m old.
Pac-Man might not have looked like the arcade version, but it was close enough, and we played the hell out of it. ET was a confusing snooze.
Wasn’t that the game that killed video games for six years? Or at least was pinned as such by reporters lol
Yes. They buried the unsold cartridges in the desert.
The origin of the term “shovelware” lol almost forgot about that
The Atari crash was a lot more multifaceted than that, but E.T. is often credited as one of the biggest factors. Though it was arguably more of a symptom of a lack of quality control as the market was being flooded with rushed titles.
The old story is that the game was so bad that the unsold cartridges were buried in the middle of the New Mexico desert.
Supposedly it’s the origin of the term “shovelware” to describe horrible quantity-over-quality types of games. Often with marketing tie-ins to popular media, to entice unwitting customers into purchasing the horrible games without actually reading up on it first. Modern usage tends to refer to the lazy mobile asset-swapped games, or the “1000 in 1” game packs that are just bad recolors of old games.
Justified: City Primeval
I LOVED Justified… The new series was pure shite… Timothy seemed like a fucking side character and went from being a cool badass with a heart, to a joke.
And don’t get me started about his forced love interest… Holy shit that was awful.

I ADORED the first Inside Out, so naturally I was super excited when I heard the news that a sequel was in the works.
Then the marketing started to roll out, until the release, then the critics.
Quickly realized in was a really bad sequel, that suffered because of Disney’s anti-LGBT problems, and generally lacks a soul.
Never bothered to watch it. Don’t want to ruin the first movie.
Not only did I really enjoy it, I thought it was really well received critically?
Rotten tomatoes has it rated well too - https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/inside_out_2
It might be worth giving it a shot.
FWIW, I really enjoyed both of them. The first is better, but the second is worth a watch IMO.
Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace.
Yes I was a freshman in high school went it came out and me and my friends went opening nite and we were so excited afterwards, then I went by myself the next nite and yea it wasn’t good. Even now watching it it’s not great. The pad race was good but that’s it.
I remember sitting there thinking “holy crap! I’m going to see a Star Wars in the theatre”!¡!
It came out when I was a kid and I thought it was okay. Seeing the amount of toys that came out of the prequels, I don’t think it was meant for anyone past the age of 15, lol.
Yeah. It was totally marketed for kids.
Nobody who had hit puberty enjoyed Jar Jar Binks.
MEESA WANTS TO KILL MEESA SELF
Yeah I was a senior in high school and everyone was skipping class on opening day to see it. What a goddamn disappointment!
The original Super Mario Bros Movie.
You mean this one? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108255/
Oh yeah

awww. I liked it D:
as a standalone, non-mario movie, it was decent. As a mario movie, it left a lot to be desired.

Happy Gilmore 2. I absolutely adore the first one, and I thought “Well, the second one can’t be bad. it’s such a great first movie!” Ugh. I was wrong. So very wrong.
Worst. Movie. Ever.
I thought it was a really good sequel with a nice twist and redemption arc. Considering the first one was almost 30 years ago, it was a test to see if they could capture the humor of the time while updating it.
Now, the most recent Bill and Ted? That did NOT work, and I turned it off after 30 minutes despite wanting so incredibly badly to want to like it.
Yea I haven’t seen it yet but a lot of my dumb coworkers were explaining it to me and just from there explaining I was like nah no thanks. I say dumb coworkers because all of them are extremely conservative and all on the anti woke bs.
Save yourself the time. Dont bother with it
The excessive flashbacks were what got to me. If any movie could expect that fans would’ve watched the first movie 50+ times and be able to quote most of it, I think Happy Gilmore would be on that list.
You’re gonna die, clown!
Diablo III
Game of Thrones
WHY HAVE THEY NOT MADE ONE GOOD GAME OF THRONES GAME???
Probably because the base material sucks (any “everyone is an arsehole” story sucks)
Plus, all the projects are cash grabs by capitalists with zero sense of taste or style.
You’ve never played the board game or LCG? Those are analog gaming masterpieces.
That would require friends and disposable income. If I had all that, I would just buy the Dark Souls modular board game 🤤
the Dragonball movie. fucking RUINED my birthday it was so bad.
Agreed it wasn’t even in the so bad it’s good category. It was just bad.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie. Gawdawful, glad that Douglas Adams didn’t have to see it.
He wrote a significant part of the script before he died. Personally I think he would have approved.
It’s a good tripping acid movie
The weirdest part was they included the setups for the jokes, then skipped the punchlines.
I really liked how they had Mr. Prosser (the guy with the bulldozer), wearing a fur lined Mongol hat, but if you hadn’t read the book, you’d have no idea why that was funny.
“Mr L Prosser was, as they say, only human. In other words he was a carbon-based life form descended from an ape. More specifically he was forty, fat and shabby and worked for the local council. Curiously enough, though he didn’t know it, he was also a direct male-line descendant of Genghis Khan, though intervening generations and racial mixing had so juggled his genes that he had no discernible Mongoloid characteristics, and the only vestiges left in Mr L Prosser of his mighty ancestry were a pronounced stoutness about the tum and a predilection for little fur hats.”
The two that come to mind are Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Farcry 6.
They might have been ok games if the previous ones hadn’t been so damned good.
At least with Breakpoint they tried to make it right with a new mode, but still don’t enjoy it as much as Wildlands.
Leveled enemies and weapons are just not something I’m going to play.
What went wrong with Far Cry 6? I’ve heard it’s pretty mid and I haven’t heard much about it since which leads me to assume it’s not even memorably bad or good
The thing that immediately ruined it for me was the leveled enemies and weapons.
Ok, so I can head shot a guy in this region and he dies, but same enemy one zone over takes like 10 shots.
It’s a lazy way of forcing artificial difficulty and making you follow a certian path through the game.
Did the same shit to the assassins creed series as well.
No Man’s Sky. So much of what was promised was missing, the world just felt empty. It’s a much better game now.
Yes I fell for that game too. I was so hyped for it, I bought the soundtrack (which slapped actually) but yea it was bad.
I feel like I saw through the hype on that one. I like space games, but you can’t make what they promised interesting without some incredible things that the game didn’t have. It’s just going to be nearly infinite boring generic planets. Without systems to make them unique then there’s no reason to care about any of them.
I did follow it up to launch, and I pirated it when it launched because I wanted to see it. Yeah, it sucked. I tried it again a few years ago because they supposedly made it actually good, but I still don’t get it. It’s still got the issue where no planet is interesting because there are infinite like it. Yeah, you can build a base now, but I couldn’t get into it. Some people seem to love it now though, so good for them.
Mass Effect Andromeda. I loved the original trilogy, even the third one, and I was hopeful that they’d live up to what they were promising. Instead, we got a garbage game that completely tossed the idea of exploring a new galaxy. I tried to play it 3 different times, just to give it a chance, and I couldn’t go through with it.
I was mostly disappointed by the story, acting, and stiff characters. The environments? Top notch. The gameplay? Pretty solid, although the gunplay left some to be desired. The return of Mass Effect 1 style tooling around in the Mako? Everything I’d hoped for.
Too bad the game being so poorly received pretty much killed any forward momentum on similar games in that vein.
