Seriously Worst Movie Ever Made?


This has to be up there with the worst movies EVER made,it was bad enough that it was a sky high rip off (which wasn't to bad) but then you had crappy acting,tim allen at his worst and the most retarted story line in recent memory, then ontop of that courtney cox. Yet i did still manage to watch most of it, over a 4 or 5 day period, of turning it on and off again. But then to top it off people are asking for a sequel? What are those people ON!!! ok im sorry, i had to vent my anger, i feel sooo much better now.

I think you're exaggerating.

It was so-so, not awful. If you were expecting a tierd, run-of-the mill sstock company Hollywood comedy with worn-out plot points, that's exactly what you got.

I wasn't totally appalled. Just mildly irritated. The only gag that actually worked in the entire movie was Tim Allen's character falling over while he was running extremely fast. If they could have done something in that calibre earlier on (throughout the whole movie in fact), it would have been an okay movie. Unfortunately that occured in the last 9/10ths of the story, and I guess most people bailed by then. Shame, 'cause it was a pretty cool gag. Only one that made me chuckle.

Now, if you want REALLY bad famliy movies, try NEVERENDING STORY 3, BATMAN & ROBIN, SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS, OLLY OLLY OXEN FREE (aka THE GREAT BALLOON ADVENTURE) or MY DOG SKIP (or any other of those 90s versions of a "boy and his dog" stories). Seriously, they are putrid. You will heave your guts out after those ones. They should have "hazardous Matierial" stickers plastered all over them. If fact they all need to be dumped at sea in the Marianas Trench, with weights so that they sink straight to the bottom. Really.

I am - SUPERFLUOUS!!!

it was awful and I await your response.

People are asking for a sequel???? lol

good grief

You people obviously have never seen Hybrid 2007 or Diner 1982. Those are 2 really bad movies and are possibly the worst ever made. Zoom at least had a few laughs.

reply

I wouldn't go that far I've seen alot worse than this I think it was more of a spoof in a way than a seriuos movie, I think the script was weak and parts rushed it seemd to me that Tim Allen delivered and used Courtney Cox as his straight man well enough. And as far as Chevy Chase I thought he did a good job as well I remember him from his older films he allways delivers the problem is that he's asked to deliver that same old charactor that people sadly have gotten bored with I liked his work in Memiors of an Invisible Man, I know he's not for everybody but I have fond memories of him from the first cast of Saturday Night Live, The Groove Tube but maybe it's me.
I will say the the little girl who played the Princess in Zoom stole the movie.

reply

This is easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. It felt like the filmmakers and actors just gave up, and cut together what they could, with horrible acting, even worse SFX, and a plot that felt like it was written by a 4 year old. I feel bad for everyone involved in this.

reply

This movie was so bad. I almost didn't give it a rating. I felt that giving it a 1 was like saying that it was an actual movie, and I really didn't want to legitimize it as such.

I did finally give it a 1 though. What a mess!

reply

I thought Sky High was far inferior to this one, but as usual, I'm in the minority.

Zoom was simply just that....a movie.

The major problem I had was Cindy. I don't care if she is super strong, what parent in their RIGHT FACKING MIND would drop off a 6 yr old at a secret government agency? I oculd buy Tucker, Summer and Dylan, but Cindy? Gimme a break. A 6 yr old superhero, are ya kidding me?

Other then that, I would still rank Zoom over such <i>legendary</i> superhero movies, like The Punisher (Thomas Jane and Dolph Lungren), FF both, The Incredible Hulk, and even Blade's 2 and 3.

Was Zoom a pretty medicore film? Yes. Should a sequal be made? Depends...can they toss out Zoom AND RECREATE the origins of the Zoom characters? If they could do that...the maybe pull a Incredible Hulk, and recast the whole film. Or teach the actors to oh.....uh...oh....act.

reply



I agree with everything you said, except for doing without Zoom. I didn't mind him. I didn't particularly love him, either, but since it's his movie and all... I just didn't mind him.

Yes this film is easily one of the worst fricking films ever made. Offensively awful stuff.

reply

i think the storyline was ok but the script kinda sucked. If they had some decent acting or better script, it could have been loads better.

reply

Hey the Crucible was amazing, everything else on that list did suck though.
As does Zoom.

the movie at the top of my "worst movies ever list" has to be The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl...I cannot believe I sat through that whole movie..and by the end I was in tears laughing so hard by how unbelievably stupid it was.

As far as this movie goes...deff not the greatest...or even a very good movie...I think it could have had a lot of potential, but they just didn't make it work

What kept me hooked the whole movie was the eye candy, Micheal Cassidy and Kevin Zegers, love them both...plus I like the chemistry going between Dylan and Summer even though it kind of just started out of no where...basically their first lines to each other finish off with her saying "Or you could just stop flirting with me all together"(i think thats what she said at least) and he says "I don't think I can. We're supposed to be together..it's destiny" or something of that nature...but it would have been nice if they'd shown some of their previous interactions..especially since it started with him appearing and her saying "You know that's really getting old" even though it was only the second time we saw him disappear...or reappear for that matter.

Ive been dreaming of a true loves kiss and a prince Im hoping comes with this!

reply

Oh man was Cabin Fever bad! What I remember most about that movie was when the hill billy kid started doing karate for no apparent reason and I was like "WTF!?".

And Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot... no words can describe how bad that was.

I don't really get why everybody hated this movie, I thought it was decent childish fun. It seems that people forget this was meant for kids and not supposed to have the tone of many other super hero movies (ie. the Batman and X-Men movies).

It's the kind of movie that when you're watching it you try and turn your brain off, don't think about the various rip offs (because let's face it, in every new super hero movie there's going to be rip offs. Coming up with an original super power is really hard to do these days.), and watch it with a child-like mentality. You're not going to enjoy a movie if the whole time you're going "He's got The Invisible Woman's powers." or "Concussion was just like Havok from the X-Men." etc.

Just saw this "thing" yesterday.

I do not know if it is -the worst- movie ever made. Probably not, as it has some forms of production value at times. But man, it was downright terrible.

I thought Sky High wasn't too good to start with (it was an ok kid movie with the added bonus of Kurt Russel), but Zoom? It makes SkyHigh look like a Spielberg movie in comparison.

Seriously, in memory, I cannot recall having had such low expectations literally gutted by inane script, terrible acting and SFX, as well as a finale as inexistant as this one.

It was .. just .. terrible.

I agree

Why do you feel the need to insult Sky High? It's not nearly as bad as the average Spielberg movie, and neither is Zoom.

reply

While it wasn't a work of art, I didn't think it was -that- bad. I thought it was higher than a (3/10) rating.

I'm an adult, and had no planned intention of watching it on broadcast TV, but I found I kept flipping back to it regardless.

reply

I can suffer through some poor movies, but this was really as bad as it gets. The acting was terrible, and the plot was, well, just silly. Did I mention that the acting was really really poor?

reply

OK troll, it's certainly not the worst. I had seen Zoom before, and ran across it last week while looking for something to watch with 12 y/o grandson. He didn't think he'd like it, but after 3 minutes he was hooked; I enjoyed it too. Nothing wrong with Courtney Cox either. I had to laugh when Tim asked her "You still got that green dress?"
Lots more "worst" films from this genre; the groan-inducing Nanny McFee 2 or the is-it-over-yet Arthur & the Invisibles or the waste-of-CGI Rise of the Guardians bleccch

Just pretend you're watching the awesome Galaxy Quest and everything will be all right.
