The Worst Movies EVER -> ruclips.net/p/PLmZTDWJGfRq0IbQZGBYACGh-lzgU3zcjB
speed racer
I watched Titan A.E., Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, The Alamo, Speed Racer, John Carter, and Terminator: Dark Fate.
It's hard to say what the worst movie is. Because there is someone who thinks it's the best movie ever.
I've seen every movie on this list once and I will never watch any of them again.🤢
@@williamsummerson1204 well, I try to find something good in any pile of crap.
Did anyone else notice that most of these "Fails" refer to studio interference, rewrites, and reshoots? It's almost like studio's micromanaging their filmmakers is always a bad thing or something!
Maybe!
More likely, studios interfere and reshoot movies because they're bad to begin with. And many movies have re-writes and even re-shoots, that's part of the process.
@@groot7844 I agree that it's part of the process, but there's a big difference between studios making small improvements and them completely redoing most of the movie.
@@groot7844 not really. Studio interference resulted in the forbidden justice League 2017 movie
I am of the impression that the director is hired for a reason. They should let him do his job. Studios should be true to the original vision. Producers should stay out of it, unless feedback is requested. All a producer should contribute is money. If the producer wants to direct he should just direct. People who do both should do one or the other. Just my opinion.
John carter was a box office fail but that movie was really good, it’s sad more people didn’t see it cuz we’ll never get a second one😭
My whole family loved it.
Disney+ could do the sequels!
A lot of these movies are pretty good, they just didn't make enough money. If I find it entertaining i don't care what anyone says about it. I liked the Lone Ranger. It done its job. on a character that mostly baby boomers remember.
Just because it didn't make a shit load of money means nothing.
@@xtheunknown4662 besides the money reasons, you could see why it failed.

Interesting list. Of the bunch, I only saw Final Fantasy (hated it) and The Alamo(okay) at the theater. I eventually saw Evan Almighty and A Christmas Carol on cable TV.
Of the 22 movies, at least half are remakes or reworks of stories and movies already done, sometimes multiple times, in some cases much better. Old stories being retold, just because some Hollywood bigwigs and special effects experts were ready to pour millions into new dead end movies. Ben-Hur with Charlton Heston is a timeless classic. There's no amount of money and special effects you can use to make a better version.
The fact that even I, with my limited movie experience, had sense enough to avoid seeing the vast majority of these movies is telling. If I could see these movies were bombs without wasting my time to pay to see them, why weren't the Hollywood experts able to see? I could have saved the studios millions of dollars if they had just run the ideas for these movies by me first.
2022: Strange World
2023: Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
These are the chapters.
I LOVE John Carter. I think it's actually a really solid movie with a great script and excellent use of world building to learn the world of Barsoom as the story unfolds. I love how it takes the time to introduce John Carter to the inhabitants of Barsoom and how they learn to work together throughout the film. I find the special effects / CGI to be absolutely beautiful and the use of color breathtaking at times. More people should give it a chance.
I liked Titan A. E. As well but I was 10 years old when I first saw that.
when i watched John Carter for the first time i was blown away.. i think at the time they didnt advertise it properly at all.
Til today I still watch and love most “failed” movies in that list
John Carter and final fantasy are one those
I agree, I don't think of it as a fail, I loved it and still watch it to this day. Many people don't know, but a lot of writers got inspired by the books of John Carter and turned their writings into tons of money and movie deals. So it's great to see where some of these writers got their ideas from.
I'm with you bro
@@giltyascharged They barely advertised it. I didn't hear about it until after I heard how "bad" it was. When I watched it for the first time on DVD I was blown away as well. The scene where John Carter relived the deaths of his wife and daughter while turning back to fight the Warhoon to protect Dejah Thoris was powerful.
"Titan A.E." and "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" are both great movies and I'm proud to say that I own them both. Cheers 🍻
I’ve watched both nd really like them myself
Because a movie bombs,it doesn't mean is bad
Waterworld is the incarnation of a box ofgice bomb but ended up as a classic
I saw “Titan A.E.” at a special screening before it was released. LOVED IT. Bought the comic prequels, the soundtrack, and got the movie on DVD!
In fact, I’m going to watch it NOW! 😎👍
@@zengram :
I never said otherwise!
Sinbad and Titan AE were two of my favorite childhood movies. I don’t understand why they both didn’t perform well at the box office
I also thought sinbad was a great movie
I agree Sinbad is an underrated classic in my eyes
@@Zanotron9000 I remember watching it when I was 4 or 5
I remember watching sinbad
Same with treasure planet
I love, LOVE, Titan AE. One of the few Western animated films not aimed entirely at kids. Great art, great voice acting, great soundtrack. Shame it didn't do so well. I enjoyed Final Fantasy too - it was a pretty amazing experience technically, even though the movie itself moved along a bit too slowly... certainly enjoyed it a lot more than many "must see Blockbuster" movies anyways.
You missed a key point as to why Posidon failed, it's a remake of a great older film.
I liked Poseidon.
It's actually a really good movie.
It amazed me how badly they missed the point of Mulan in the remake. Its as if they didnt even bother to watch the original. Giving her special powers completely ruins the whole point. She isnt special, shes a normal girl, and THAT IS the point.
But Cruella also underperformed at the Box Office.
@@angusng816 and cruella was actually good.
I hear you. Original Mulan had to struggle and work extra hard to overcome her physical limitations. Using a combination of sheer bloody minded determination, brains and a bit of luck she had a great impact on everyone around her. New Mulan is special, no struggle, no obstacles to overcome, just her with her Chi and being a stronk whaman.
@@angusng816 that is because audiences perhaps don’t like all their classic villains to be redeemed. Some of them we love to hate, especially in an era when there is a distinct lack of good villains in Disney movies.
I was mad they didn't even bring back Mushu...
I heard that some countries ban movies with talking animals, but imo, the music and that silly dragon made Mulan worth watching. And I never saw it until a few years ago.
The live action was horrible, and I kinda stopped watching pretty quick. XD
I actually enjoyed Sinbad, Evan Almighty, Speed Racer, and Jim Carrey’s Christmas Carol
The kids and I watch A Christmas Carol every year at Christmas. Love it.
I used to watch speed racer when I was little kid
add john carter you'll enjoy it..
I think it was the times . If it was today I think those movies would’ve done way better
You are clearly part of a very select group `)
This list makes me want to rewatch all of them. Good job WatchMojo.
John Carter and Sinbad are great entertaining movies with a surprising amount of heart. If you haven't I recommend both as a double feature. So much fun.
A lot of these films may have been Box Office flops, but they were still fun movies to watch!
The Mulan live action fun to watch? Oh hell no, a disgrace towards the animation
@@15Candles A lot could mean most but I still agree with Mulan live action being a total flop.
100
@@15Candles That Mulan live action movie shouldn't have happened...
I agree
I liked the Lone Ranger, John Carter, Crhistmas Carol and King Arthur.
The train chase at the end of The Lone Ranger made up for the near 3 hour runtime. I absolutely loved it.
Ddudde. Y'all just made a list of my favorite movies. Thanks.
A Christmas Carol is an absolute MUST WATCH in December

We need more heroes like you 😂😂😂
Chaos Walking is good. I don’t get all the hate.
Titan a.e so good man , underated good show
Didn’t expect 2009’s “A Christmas Carol” to be on the list, but honestly, I LOVED IT!!
Same here, I still watch it when I can, regardless of the time of year. Its really well animated and has a dark edge to it that really makes it stand out.
@@dannyseville2543 & don’t forget about the excellent cast! Jim Carey does great motion capturing and voicing Scrooge, the 3 ghosts of Christmas, & Gary Oldman as Bob Cratchit & Jacob Marley. The entire cast behind that movie is great. Also great animation (& especially mind blowing motion capture) which still holds up even to this very day!!
Same I still watch it I think it was my first 3D movie.
I watch it every Christmas Eve. Love it!
The Disney one was good, but the Muppet Christmas Carol was better
Seeing Sinbad on here was a major stunner to me. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid, but for whatever reason, it was an absolute favorite of mine as a child, only beat by Finding Nemo. I probably watched it over 100 times. I honestly do not know why. It just made me love it. So seeing it now, I’m surprised to see how hard it bombed. I’m jokingly telling myself that child me would have made it turn a profit at the box office.
I was a kid in the 80s and Disney was releasing bomb after bomb (even Tron bombed, most people don’t remember that), and I love most of their movies from that era, like Dragonslayer.
Final Fantasy spirit's within was a underrated jem. I liked its apocalyptic setting. And the aliens were cool too. Wish the games would have had a similar story.

Thank you!
Terminator: Dark Fate broke our childhood, they messed up original storyline about terminator, they messed up every character, and before that we got terminator genesys who broke everything too, its like wtf is going on..
Basically terminated the franchise
our childhood... who's "our"... you and your boyfriend?
I liked the movie. It was good to see a leader that was a warrior.
The John Connor character is always a whiny wimp that doesn't want to fight.
What do you mean our?
Ignoring all other things, they definitely did at least one cinema sin. They invalidated THE POINT of all the other movies. If we could just casually replace John Connor then why the fuck did they even bother with the activities in the first three movies? All these people defending it are reaching HARD here to award it anything.
Strange World is set to be added to this year's list of bombs!
What this list tends to show is we don’t want endless remakes, endless sequels and if you make an animated movie, it better be really good as these seem to be surprisingly expensive to make
Spot on but they're not listening. Expect another version of Batman any minute now, its five minutes overdue.
I actually enjoyed Mars Needs Moms. When I was a kid, the scene where the aliens killed Gribble's mother in the flashback scene was one of the scariest scene I've ever seen. I feel so bad for Gribble 😭
I just watched that movie today, didn't enjoy it though
Same. I loved that movie as a kid.
I also loved it
Mars needs mom's is good I still enjoy it!
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is a fucking masterpiece!
agreed
Damn straight
Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Sinbad, road to El Dorado, and Titan A.E. are all masterpieces that need a lot more love. I wish all of these movies would get more love and attention.
Facts, I really loved that movie!
agreed just released at a bad time
A Christmas carol with Jim Carrey is A CLASSIC!!!!!!! One of the best versions of the classic tale
What’s funny is that Sinbad was one of my favorite movies that year. Parents wouldn’t let me watch Pirates of the Caribbean nor Terminator 😂
Boy, I enjoy Mortal Engines so much the concept the idea and the execution, I didn't know this movie was a flop. There goes my hope for a sequel
Ive been trying to see a copy of that movie for a while now, but it not even on the streaming services.
@@JW-el5cy if you search on Google it said on prime video, but funny thing is I searched for it on the app it doesn't exist. I to check on other streaming service it's not there, last place is play store and it's there, you can rent or buy it.
I agree. Honestly since the MCU is everyone's obsession now most other big budget movies will continue to flop.
The books are good though. I recommend them
@@alexmarsalis1690 I tried reading it but stopped at "why did I have to go down to the bogs, it isn't fair! I thought the character was a bit childish. Or do I need to keep reading?
0:41 I saw this movie only because one of my _AWESOME_ highschool teachers rented out 3 school buses, and drove us to the Menlo Park Mall Movie Theater during the school day and paid for seniors to see it himself.
His name was Mr. Maginn. He taught History and looked like actor Jack Davenport.
I watched Poseidon when it came out and remember thinking the effects were well done, but I didn't know it got the Oscar nod. I do think it is underrated, especially when compared to all the other 2000s disaster movies that came out back then. It also still holds up today, which tells me it just had bad luck, which happens to some good movies. Sadly, I don't think it will get "found" like Clue or Shawshank did, and while I would never say it is as good Shawshank, I think it is about on par with a Clue.
It honestly surprises me that Titan AE bombed. I remember when it first came out to theaters going to see it an enthusiastically watching it and in my hometown of Santa Rosa there was this event going on at what was then the new Roxy theater and there were a bunch of re-releases of animated films which included Titan AE and there was a bunch of people going to see that too. It makes me wonder if Santa Rosa was just some area where the film actually had some popularity because I remember watching it again at a friend's house too. Or maybe it's just because me and him are nerds and we were into this kind of film back then. Since it is from the former Fox animation studio well some of their films have been put on Disney plus so I hope this one does as well.
I also remember seeing Final fantasy the spirits within in theaters. I was shocked to find out later how much it's underperformed. I remember at the time the animation looked so real.
I didn't see the adventures of Pluto Nash in theaters, but I do remember seeing it on DVD sometime later. I didn't have much of an impression of the film. It must have not been memorable because the honest truth is I remember the music from the DVD menu a lot more than the film itself. I don't remember anything from the film besides the fact that the music from the DVD menu did play to also open the film as well. So I see why Pluto Nash failed.
Considering how much of a powerhouse Disney is now, it's pretty amazing that they had three years in a row of the number one box office bomb. Anyways I didn't see the lone ranger in theaters, but I saw it on DVD I think as a Redbox rental a little later. I honestly enjoyed the film and didn't realize at the time that it bombed.
I remember Ben-Hur being released, but never saw it. I guess that must have been the case for most people.
I remember seeing a trailer for Mortal Engines. I found the concept interesting, but also ridiculous at the same time. I guess more people thought the idea was just too ridiculous.
I've heard that Terminator: Dark Fate was good, it just was too late after 3-5 disappointing so many people. I thought Genysis was at least better than Rise of the Machines and Salvation, but again, none of the later films can compare to Judgement Day. I hope to watch Dark Fate some day knowing that maybe finally they have decided to end the franchise on a high note in terms of quality. Too bad it bombed so bad.
I like how you explained 2020. Honestly I just wouldn't have included that year just because so many theaters were closed due to the pandemic, but I do like how you explained that year and what could have been for the films. Honestly both movies mentioned are very flawed and I have zero intention of seeing Mulan(2020) as they made her a Mary Sue anyways instead of allowing her character to grow. I love the animated Mulan, it is my favorite Disney renaissance era film, but the live action one is just plain terrible. Wonder Woman 1984 I enjoyed when I saw it in theaters in late 2020, but even then I saw some serious flaws. I do appreciate that the main bad guy was defeated not by fighting, but by wanting to see his son. The lasso of truth helped him realize what he was doing was wrong and sometimes I appreciate that kind of villain arc more than just a fight to the death.
The pandemic was still going strong in 2021 so I'm sure a lot of films still suffered. I know some did well still though such as Kong vs Godzilla which I'm happy performed well on such a year. I wonder how well it would have performed withouth a pandemic.
Crying shame how criminally underrated Titan A.E. is! Absolutely awesome movie!
Mortal Engines is fantastic! It’s even better in 3D! So glad I managed to find a 3D Blu-ray copy of it internationally ;)
I canada it came out in a 4K/3D combo .
No. That abomination took a giant shit on the novel.
In this list John Carter and Mortal engines were amazingly entertaining high fantasy concepts. Its sad that these flopped but both of these are cult classics and deserve a second chance.
when you bring back Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and even James Cameron and you still fail? that's a sign that maybe a series has gone on for too long
Should’ve stopped at T2.
@VelktorCreationsMFQ NO! While I will admit that T3 wasn't bad, it rebooted and retconned the end of T2, which was not necessary. Not all movies needs to be a trilogy or have multiple sequels. The Terminator really should've ended at T2, since it had the perfect end.
Legend of Sinbad really, that movie was a master piece
John Carter was so underrated it was amazing
I have a lot to say, I saw stealth in theaters with a girl I was seeing then and it blew my mind that when we watched it we were the only 2 at the theater, I also saw Evan Almighty in theaters. Secondly, I am surprised Cats wasn't 2019s biggest bomb and crazy that Tom Holland was in 2021s biggest bomb and biggest Box Office winner.
Stealth was awesome. I loved it but I only saw it on DVD
Top gun on its era already good..in 2005,stealth action and cgi is really good since not many movie at that time show about airplane or jet..nowdays we got maverick back...but still i love all kind of jet fighter/dogfight movie..
Despite Terminator Dark Fate being full of problems the action was very well done
@@nosexinviolence.3358 the story was the problem, having cameron wouldnt have changed a thing.
Yeah I liked the main actress, the Canadian with short hair.
the action and special effects was good, but that should be expected from a 2019 big budget action film. It was three main things that doomed the movie: 1. story, 2. Arnold Schwarzenegger has aged out of the roll 3. woke/ political messaging. Killing JC was definitely a turnoff but that could be included as problematic writing/storyline
@@nosexinviolence.3358 I think they should have kept John Connor alive and just combined the stories. A new mission of sorts. Rather than kill him off, and replace with all female. That never works. Why not include rather than replace?
@@nosexinviolence.3358 i wonder how they'd bring her back, since she was human and died
Wait?? A terminator: dark fate was a bigger box-office flop than cats??? That’s kinda sad.
That's what can happen when we get unnecessary sequels and remakes nobody asked for.
@@royroland3884 Right, I was hoping they would do a good future story about John Conner. But, they just want to keep making T2 copies with more bells and whistles.
It really wasn't
Dark fate had no like able characters except Linda Hamilton and Arnold. The terminator looked like apple store salesmen…and the good terminator was just unconvincing and out of place.
@@Phillipgraves869 isnt that the point to be the least convincing terminator
Y'all don't appreciate Speed Racer enough
Final race was brilliance
Stupid movie
@@saurabhsolanki3437 wrong
It's interesting how many of these are Disney movies, despite Disney's attempts to frame its releases as never-miss. Reality is that they have a fairly mixed release history, and they made few live action movies at all before they bought Marvel.
The first 3 animated movies that were on this list are underrated and I genuinely enjoyed them
I still have my copy of Titan A.E. on DVD. Time to re-watch that. It's been many years.
I've seen most of the movies on this list and really enjoyed Titan A.E., Stealth, Poseidon, Speed Racer and John Carter.
Speed Racer was different but good that way.
Another thing about Poseidon... I worked at a Video Update in 2006-2007ish when it came to DVD. I have never before or since seen so many copies on the shelves of one movie. I'm not kidding when i say it was about 15 rows by itself. and entire half a wall was Poseidon. IDK if this contributes to its budget or whatever, or if it helped but... yeah.
Speed racer is, in my opinion, an absolute classic to me.
It’s such a amazing story, it’s characters I actually really like. And it’s corky humor is what I like lol
The CGI won’t ever age well. But I love it.
Titan A.E. was pretty good, so was Sinband, Stealth, and Mortal Engines. John Carter I thought was really good, and I can't believe it flopped. The rest of these, yeah, no surprise.
I enjoyed final fantasy: The spirits within...still I can easily admit it is flawed but the animation is incredible 👌
It was a sick film for the time I admit I went into the cinema thinking it was a final fantasy game film if you get me but even tho it wasn't I still enjoyed it
The animation was years ahead of its time. But it is such a slog to watch
My biggest problem with the movie was how overpowered the ghosts were. They just casually touch you and you die lol, it's like playing an arcade coin eater in the 70's. Like some people died by ACCIDENTALLY BUMPING INTO THEM.
The problem of Spirits Within was it was supposed to be a Final Fantasy movie, as the title suggests, but wasn’t at all.
I love Peter Pan but 2015’s Pan isn’t a favorite of mine but I love the 2003 version when I was young at the time
The concept of Chaos waking (being a person who can hear the opposite sex’s thoughts) was done in a 90s movie called What women want.
Mulan’s issue is that they changed her story to make her have supernatural powers, instead of accomplishing her goal by hard work & discipline.
Terminator’s issue is that they made John Connor and Kyle Reese’s sacrifices completely pointless and irrelevant & turned the T-800 into a house husband for some bizarre reason.
There's also the fact that Disney shot much of Mulan in Xinjiang, where the PRC is committing cultural genocide on the Uighurs. I wanted to see this movie. I loved the original legend and wanted to see it without comic relief animals. But I refuse to spend a dollar that supports genocide.
Final fantasy tank because lack of chocobos :S
i disagree, people just arent interested in seeing woke movies with strong female leads
@@victordelgado7408 No. people have no problem with strong female leads. The issues are that the character needs to be well written and make sense.
@@JohnDoe-zr8pc yeah there's been strong female leads, but I think it has to come natural and not forced. Sarah Connor was natural, an all female Ghostbusters is forced. Making the "protector" and savior in terminator dark fate a woman is forced (in addition the subliminal pro immigration messages throughout that movie) there is some truth to the over used phrase "get woke go broke"
I think while I enjoyed King Arthur Legend of The Sword, it's sets up way too much for a sequel that the studio had planned. In my opinion, they should've take a backseat for a sequel for a while and made a good standalone movie first that would've made the movie a lot better recieved box office wise then go talk about the sequel
Yeah, I feel the same way. I really liked the movie but it did feel like there was a lot of speeding through important moments just to set up another movie. I would have liked it more if it just focused more on the current events that were happening.
It was also released at a horrible time.
The majority of these movies were awesome and enjoyable flicks whether they were released 20 years ago or today.
It’s like saying that Pocahontas II doesn’t exist either but when it’s bombed and forgotten, it’s nothing but a bad day. Remember The Room, Avatar: The Last AirBender, 2019’s Cats and The Emoji Movie?
I actually really enjoyed The Lone Ranger. That train chase alone makes the near 3 hour runtime worth it.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is by far the best movie on this list. it definitely was not bland.
What about terminator: dark date?
@@l4lemons206 naw i actually hated that one. The first 2 terminators are masterpieces. The other 4 are all trash, but i will say dark fate is the best of the other 3.
King arthur was great. especially in 3D
King Arthur is one of my all-time favs, the soundtrack was absolutely amazing. It's too bad it didn't get the love it deserved.
king Arthur was shit.
I think A Christmas Carol was actually amazing. Very good rendition of the story.
Really surprised the live action ATLA wasn't on here. Great list W.M.
I have seen all the movies on this list. I enjoyed watching all of them. I do have favorites and I thought that they did quite well on the theaters. Loved Titan A.E , Final Fantasy, Sinbad, Wonder Woman 2, Possidon, Evan Almighty, John Carter, Speed Racer, and Mars Needs MOMS.
dude I love Evan Almighty the most :)
I like those movies
Titan A.E (2000)
Final Fantasy: The Spirits within (2001)
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven sea (2003)
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
WW84 (2020)
But I think it just because maybe they didn't do well with the budget and score on money from critics and audiences but these films are my favorite even the animated films too.
Same here, those are some of my absolute favorites!
Absolutely agree. I honestly can't believe the movie Fight Club is not on this list because that was a Box office bomb that's made over 80% of the revenue off that movie as it became a cult classic and people started watching it on Dvds and downloading it. Poor box office draw doesn't always equal bad film.
Terminator Dark Fate and Wonder Woman 1984 are absolutely terrible
Josh lucas was in two of the lowest grossing films two years in a row 😬😬😬
LOL. If you follow Jai Courtney's trajectory you'll see that his inclusion in a film or series was like poison. Everything he was involved in failed badly.

RUclips: Plays an ad for Uncharted in the middle of the video.
I actually thought the Lone Ranger was pretty good. You can tell it was not completed at intended, though.
That movie was so bad. lol
There's something wrong with a supposedly "kid friendly" movie where the villain cuts open peoples' chests and eats their hearts.
Alot of these movies are highly underrated
About Terminator, I must say, I was surprised that the one re-appearance I loved the most, was actually Linda Hamilton. Loved her performance as Sarah Connor, in all movies.
they have butchered the terminator franchise especially the last two. damn shame they wasted Linda Hamiltons return
after they brought all the women and kids to play tough swearing woriors, what do you expect :)))
@@redbear1935 yeah, but the writers are more at fault with the story and direction they have been going the last two films. Women in leading roles aren't necessarily the death knell. Linda Hamilton is practically the most iconic character in the franchise. It's the convoluted story line and the mishmash directorship that has put this franchise on the path of extinction.
One of A Christmas Carrol's biggest problems was its presentation.
Older audiences found the style too creepy while the younger audiences was outright frightened by it.
Heck, the scene with Death made even me go... Woah, that's Dark!
One of the reasons I've seen why Final Fantasy was such a failure was that the movie was a Final Fantasy in name only. It had none of the hallmarks of Final Fantasy - no magic, no summons, no mystical creatures. The best they had was that they had a Cid. The movie could have just used any other title other than Final Fantasy it was so paint-by-the-numbers sci-fi. Wanna know why SquareEnix exists? Because of THIS.
I loved John Carter on DVD and absolutely loved it! Watched it multiple times. Sad to see that it's included on this list. 😕
Same. My favorite scene is where John Carter relived his family's deaths while fighting the Warhoon to save Dejah Thoris. The musical score for the movie was fantastic.
I think most agree what went wrong with this movie was the failure to market it. I also think critics were ridiculous in their criticism of it. I think it was Roger Ebert that said "I can't take any science fiction movie seriously if it doesn't have robots and laser guns."
I loved mortal engines (the books) they were my favourite books as a kid. I didn’t think the film was that bad, super dissapointed that (just like the golden compass (Northern Lights)) we won’t see the rest of the story in film form.
I’ve always liked Evan Almighty, Sinbad, Poseidon, and King Author Legend of the Sword.
Final Fantasy is a bit of a guilty pleasure.
All of the other flops on the list that I did see (Titan AE, Stealth, Lone Ranger, Mortal Engines, Dark Fate, Mulan, and Wonder Woman 1984) I saw for free so I'm not upset about wasted money on rental or theater.
Still enjoyed terminator dark fate
Better than Genisys.
@@TeresaKinsley A lot better and Linda Hamilton IS technically Sarah Connor. I love Emilia Clarke but she's nowhere near as good as Linda Hamilton in Genisys
Tim Miller deserves a second chance
@@15Candles I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of Dark Fate. John Connor’s death scene at the beginning ruined it for me. But that movie at least tried a few new ideas, though it still comes out as another generic action flick.
Genisys had such a shitty plot with dumbass characters, bland action, & so much CGI that just left me bored af. I can at least watch & enjoy a couple scenes of Dark Fate. Although, I’d still forget most of it.
@@TeresaKinsley I think it's on par with TDF
Josh Lucas's career went down faster than that ship....😬😬😬😬😬
Titan AE was amazing, FF Spirits Within was amazing, and John Carter was phenomenal... I can see why animated movies did bad, but John Carter should have been a success, it was beyond incredible and extremely well done! Idk who that dude was who played him either, but he did great and should have blown up after
He starred in Battleship, another movie that is mocked.
I enjoyed WW84. I like Dark Fate, but killing John Connor was the stupidest mistake and felt it was there to replace him with Dani and Grace is basically a female Marcus Wright who was an interesting and tragic character. Rev-9 was cool due to his switching ability and his skeleton design but the rest is whatever.
Yeah killing John Connor was a mistake but I rather watch Dark Fate over Terminator 3 till Genisys mostly because it's just wonderful to see Linda Hamilton kick ass as Sarah Connor again in Dark Fate. Had Linda Hamilton not been in Dark Fate, I would've never watched it. And I don't think WW84 was that bad either, a gigantic step down for sure but far from being one of the worst comic book movie ever made. I'd rather watch WW84 over something like Catwoman, Elektra or even Fan4stic
@@15Candles I never watched Catwoman, but I did watched Elektra and Fan4stic. Didn't care for Elektra and I despised Fan4stic so much is the 2nd worst movie ever with Howard the 1st worst movie.
Killing John Connor was James Cameron's idea
This is why people shouldn't blame TIM MILLER for the failure of that movie
He deserves another chance
@@alansepicvideos9083 Don’t bother with Catwoman unless you’re really, really, really curious. It gave Halle Berry a Razzie, & is not only considered one of the worst CBMs of all time, but one of the worst movies period. I can’t argue that it’s worst than Howard the Duck or Fan4stic (which is understandable), but it’s definitely bad.
Evan Almighty honestly surprised me. It was a great movie that had children laughing. Idk how it failed in the box office so badly.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was a motion picture that was tailored to disappoint practically everyone. While the computer generated imagery was well ahead of it’s time, choosing to leverage such a well-respected franchise as Final Fantasy without incorporating any of the elements that made the games great doomed The Spirits Within to fiscal ruin.
The plot was immensely hard to follow. It may work for an JRPG but not for a feature-length movie.
john carter is an amazing movie , i was so sad to find out it tanked in the box office .
I wanted to see Sinbad: The Legend of the Seven Seas when I was nine years old but sadly my life was very busy at that time it probably would have winded up a box office bomb no matter what sadly but at least I would have supported it in some way.
I saw it when I was eleven finally and really liked it but haven't seen it since and now I'm 28 hopefully I'll see it again someday. :)
I have it on DVD and I watch it close to Christmas. It's a wonderful movie that you can see for years to come.
I watched most of the animated movies here. Still love Titan AE, Sinbad is ok, Final Fantasy is nice to look at. OZ was weak as hell and still am not sure where the money went.
Thank god only watched one of these a christmas carol.and feel asleep whill it was on tv xmas day
Titan A.E. is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I still have a copy of it on VHS that I still watch lol.
I've seen: Titan A.E, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Poseidon, Evan Almighty, Speed Racer, A Christmas Carol, John Carter, and The Lone Ranger
Thanks for sharing....in other news...no one give 2 shits about you or what you've seen.
Terminator dark fate was a fantastic return to form for its franchise the problem with it was the amount of lacklustre movies before it
It was basically the reason I chose not to see it. I like to believe only Terminator and T2 are the only films in the series
Terminator Dark Fate was not only a Box office fail, it was the killer of the entire franchise
Speed racer is a fantastic movie, one of my favourite from Wachowski. Saw it 3 times and enjoyed it
Holy moly....I actually loved most of these. Titan ae and spirits within were one of my fav childhood movies. John carter was an awesome love story. Poseidon was great, mortal engines was epic.
I read the review for Evan Almighty in the paper and it said it was a bad movie, so I had to check it out myself. It had its moments, but I agree it wasn't a good movie. Bruce Almighty was such an instant classic, it didn't need a sequel.
I have seen Stealth, Speed Racer, Final Fantasy, and a fair bit of Dark Fate and Poseiden, but couldn't finish those two. They were hard to watch. Stealth wasn't an entirely bad movie, I got some enjoyment out of it. Final Fantasy, it looked great but I guess at the time I saw it I had a hard time following it. Speed Racer, I'm surprised it never gave me a seizure because of the colors. Plus quite a bit of the acting was kinda hammy. Christina Ricci looked good in it though.
Disney’s Box office bombs over the years:
2011: Mars Needs Moms
2012: John Carter
2013: The Lone Ranger
Me: This Can’t Be A Coincidence
I enjoyed all 3 of those movies.
WHAT I would’ve never imagined that sindbad was considered a „failure“ :0
It’s animation is super fluid, story is action packed and not really obvious either.
Loved this movie through my entire childhood 🤭
we meant *box office* flops they video says the movie wasn’t bad it just didn’t perform well at the box office at all
I'm always surprised to hear king arthur legend of the sword was failure. I've seen it in the cinema 4 or 5 times, bought the 3d bluray when it came out, and later bought the 4k bluray when that was released.
While the setting up for sequels might have hurt the movie, i think the main reason for it's failure was just people and critics just thinking it was going to be just another tellling of the same old story, and weren't expecting the new take, and therefore being critical about it being the old story whit a whole lot of "stupid" stuff added to it.
But those who went in open minded where treated to an amazing film, it's a more magical mythical telling of the story. And combined with guy ritchie's way of story telling (the "growing up" and "what happened with the vikings" scenes are great examples)
The amazing soundtrack, great atmos mix and fun use of 3d (not over the top, but also not as lame as it's use in avatar) make for a great film.
Everything that u mentioned is true... also the fact that everyone was overdosing on game of thrones could have been one of the reason why it didn't get the appreciation it deserved
I'm not surprised at all. In fact, I disagree with most everything you cited. The soundtrack was meh, the cinematography was nauseating and bland, and the fact that they struggled so hard to tell the next four movies instead of telling one great one was what caused that movie to fail so hard. You wish to sell a universe or future installments? Great. Start by telling ONE great tale and then gently nod to future tales. Do not concentrate on establishing the next four before the first one is done. Many other movies that had potential also had the same issue of trying to plant seeds for future installments instead of telling the one great story and letting the audience clamor for more.
As a huge fan of Arthurian lore, this movie hurt me the most because I had such high hopes for it. It took me a couple weeks and I still never made it through one viewing in a sitting. I kept falling asleep or shutting it off because it was boring me to tears. The 1982 version (Excalibur) is still the reigning champion. I would love to see a fleshed out, multi-movie parse on the lore but not at the expense of each individual entry trying so hard to set up the next one in line.
Tell ONE great story. Dabble a drop or two hinting at the next one in line. Let the audience do the rest.
Damn shame really.
The Lone Ranger was the only one on the list I was truly saddened to learn had bombed. Yeah it was a long movie, but I throughly enjoyed the action scenes
Wow I can’t believe that A Christmas Carol was on the list, that one of my favorite movies.
LOL was not expecting i watched every single of these films
I loved sinbad as a kid! Remember i watched it with my little brother every night before bed :)
This proves that disney took the most risks and thus is the most valuable of the century so far.
Creating a movie is like a gamble even you get the best director script writer actor etc..it can flop or success..
I think i saw the intro of 2000's Titan AE, the end of 2006's Poseidon, some bits of 2012's John Carter, 2016's Ben Hur, 2018's intro of Mortal Engines, & 2020's Mulan
- “Sinbad”was pretty decent. My students sure loved it.
