Hollywood’s Top 5 Worst Movies Ever Made

Not all movies are entertaining enough. The films listed have been cited by a combination of reputable sources and have also achieved notably negative reception from movie-goers as being called the worst films ever made.

Examples of such sources include Metacritic, Roger Ebert's list of most hated films, Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, Rotten Tomatoes, being featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the Golden Raspberry Award also known as the Razzies.

Take a look at the list of the top five worst movies ever made from the disappointing to the bad to the downright offensive because of their poor acting, poor direction, poor script, poor cinematography, poor storyline and lack of success. 

Originally a very dark comedy with no romantic subplot, the producers demanded script rewrites throughout filming. Some reviewers dubbed the film "The Ultimate Turkey of All Time,” referring to Lopez's character's sex talk to Affleck's character inviting him to commit an act of oral sex.

The Times newspaper gave the movie the rating below their lowest possible score of 0 stars being the only movie to receive this score. This film is also said to have been a factor in the break-up of the engagement between its two stars. The film is the winner of 7 Razzies including 2005's Worst Comedy of Our First 25 Years. In addition, Ben Affleck mocked the film on Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show.

Starring Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas, the film was universally panned by critics and is believed to have no redeeming features not even the comedy value normally associated with bad films. It is often listed among the worst movies ever made. Financially, the film was a box office failure, grossing just over $14 million compared to its $70 million budget. Liu and Banderas play opposing secret agents who are supposedly enemies but rather than fighting each other they end up teaming up to take down the megalomaniacal director of the NSA.

The movie features Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini, the winner and runner-up of the first series of American Idol, respectively. Texan singing waitress Kelly Taylor, which is played by Clarkson, meets Pennsylvania college student Justin Bell which is portrayed by Guarini. They fall for each other and then spend the rest of the movie trying to get together.

The critics began mercilessly deriding the movie upon news of its making and the movie was the box office bomb they predicted despite its association with the popular television show. In an interesting twist, theater chains threatened not to show it at all when distributor 20th Century Fox anticipating a theatrical flop. On the Internet Movie Database website the film is currently the worst movie ever made. Other listing systems also rate it among the worst movies ever made. The film's choreography was considered so bad that a special Golden Raspberry "Governor's Award" was created just so From Justin to Kelly could win it.

The fourth installment of the Warner Bros. franchise that began with 1989's Batman and the lowest-grossing of the film series. This film is often billed as the worst superhero movie of all time, even to the point that star George Clooney said he would refund people's money if they stopped him on the street and said they had paid to see it.

In an interview with Barbara Walters, Clooney claims he played Batman gay. The director Joel Schumacher also reputedly admits to not being proud of this film (to the point where he flat-out apologizes for the film, according to his commentary on the 2005 Special Edition DVD set), despite earlier statements to the contrary.

Batman & Robin earned the nickname "Batman on Ice" for a scene in which the titular heroes both inexplicably have retractable skate blades hidden inside their boots. The film was mocked for the poor script, over-extending the campy attitude of the previous installment Batman Forever, the poor casting of other "big-name" stars Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the addition of a poorly portrayed Batgirl, played by Alicia Silverstone. Likely due to the film's poor reception, no more Batman movies were made for nearly eight years.

Catwoman is a 2004 American superhero film and quasi-spinoff of the Batman film series directed by Pitof and released by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures. The film was inspired by the DC Comics character of the same name, who is traditionally a super villain and love interest of the superhero Batman. This story features a completely new character, Patience Phillips, donning the Catwoman costume.

The film stars Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Benjamin Bratt, Lambert Wilson, Frances Conroy, and Alex Borstein. It was poorly received by critics and audience and is commonly listed as one of the worst films ever made. The film appeared on the list of Roger Ebert's most hated films.

He criticized the filmmakers for giving little thought to providing Berry "with a strong character, story, supporting characters or action sequences", but his primary criticism came from the failure of the film to give the audience a sense of what her character experienced as she was transformed into Catwoman.
Film critic Bill Muller of the Arizona Republic suggested that maybe Berry should give back her 2001 Academy Award as a penalty. This film received seven Golden Raspberry nominations in 2005, including Worst Supporting Actress for Sharon Stone. It won in the categories of Worst Picture, Worst Actress Halle Berry, Worst Director and Worst Screenplay. Berry, while clutching her Academy Award statuette, accepted the award for Worst Actress."First of all I want to thank Warner Brothers. Thank you for putting me in a piece of shit, God-awful movie. It was just what my career needed," Berry personally said. She has gone on to speak frankly in interviews about her views regarding problems with the film.
