Worst Movies: Why They Made Me Never Want to Watch Again

The world of cinema is vast, and there are countless films that capture our imagination and bring us joy. But every once in a while, a movie comes along that not only fails to entertain but also leaves such a deep impression that one wonders why they even decided to watch it in the first place. In this article, we will take a look at some of the worst movies that will make you never want to see them again.

The Lord of The Rings Trilogy

Many fans of the fantasy genre have an almost religious devotion to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, some, like myself, find the premise of the story highly questionable. Peculiar as it may seem, the ownership and use of the rings are left largely unexplored. This series, which, despite its massive success, left me with more questions than answers. The entire trilogy is a minefield of unexplained plot twists and decisions that made the movie-trilogy experience quite ridiculous.

Star Wars

The Star Wars saga, once a beloved franchise, has slowly deteriorated into a series of missed opportunities and disappointing reboots. If you can think of any and all Star Wars movies as garbage, start with that list. As each new film was released, the quality seemed to plummet further. The once-beloved characters and world-building became a shadow of their former selves, replaced by an endless stream of underwhelming sequels and spin-offs.

Holmes and Watson (2018)

When it comes to movies that I could never bring myself to watch again, Holmes and Watson (2018) takes the cake. This film is so bad that it would take a significant amount of money for me to sit through it once more. The plot was riddled with poor dialogue and a lack of coherent story. If I were ever offered the chance to relive this experience, I would decline on principle.

The Halloween Trilogy

The declining quality of the Halloween series from John Carpenter's original to the current incarnation is a tale of missed potential. Each subsequent film in the trilogy was a significant disappointment, with the final movie, Halloween Ends, being a particularly poignant example. The script's quality and the visuals did not live up to the standards set by Carpenter. There was a palpable sense of loss throughout the series, and the final installment left a hollow feeling.

The Exorcist Trilogy

One might think that The Exorcist is a make-believe trilogy, but the untruth is that another film will be released very soon, tackling the story in a tripartite format. Considering the direction changes and the missed opportunities, one can only hope that a true end to the Exorcist saga will finally arrive without the film ending in a steel grinder. It's an enormous worry to see such a classic being reimagined when it only serves to diminish its value.

THAT Movie

For those who enjoy horror, movies like THAT can be both thrilling and unsettling. However, when the horror genre shifts from seeking to scare to focusing solely on gore and blood, the experience can be quite degrading. This particular film made me feel uneasy and depressed. It failed to provide the psychological terror that true horror should evoke. On the other hand, a film like IT, while not perfect, managed to balance psychological suspense with some solid scares.

Martyrs and Torture Porn

Another genre where horror seems to lose its edge is in the torture-based films. Martyrs, for instance, is a film that seems to prioritize carnage over storytelling. The story zeros in on the brutality of its characters to the point where the plot becomes secondary. For those who enjoy films that break the mould, Hostel might be a fitting companion, as it has a similar reputation for a highly graphic and brutal narrative.

Titanic

Titanic, a phenomenon that once left the audience in awe, has unfortunately seen its standing decline over time. While the film is visually stunning and evokes the spirit of the era, it is plagued by a repetitive and predictable storyline. The love story becomes predictable and the overall narrative feels overlong. Moreover, the ship's sinking in slow motion sequences add to the overall weariness of the film. If you've seen it once, you've probably seen it all.

Rocketman

No musical performance in recent memory has failed to connect with me quite as much as Rocketman. Expecting it to paint the story of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, it instead turned into a highly stylized production that alienated its intended audience. The entire experience felt disjointed and slept through several scenes. Watching it again would be a waste of time, and I am steadfast in my refusal to do so.

From the depths of fantasy to the heights of historical epic, there are a multitude of movies that could fall into the category of worst. However, for me, the ones mentioned above stand out as the most egregious examples. If you find yourself reaching for the remote every time you see a new movie come out, rest assured, you are not alone. It is always better to choose films that will make you laugh, cry, or at the very least, engage your mind.
