Jaws: The Revenge smokes those 4.

This site ranks the worst 4th movies as:

7. Lethal Weapon 4: A lazy, mindless, tired and meaningless retread that wasted the talents of Jet Li and pretty much led to the pseudo-retirement of Joe Pesci, a once annoyingly minor character in the series used to the point of brain contusion.

6. Terminator Salvation: See Dan's review. A hamfisted, hokey sequel that came too long after the first three movies to rely so heavily on their mythology and yet managed to add little new. Completely witless and unimaginative, McG tries only to out-Bay Michael Bay and forgets to include the emotional center that made the first two movies so good.

5. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: A misguided and unacceptable return to one of the best trilogies of all time. The magic was sucked out of it, its cleverness stripped, and a once iconic character was rendered second rate.

4. The Next Karate Kid: A poor excuse for a film, basically a really bad and overly silly remake of the original with a female character (Hilary Swank) in the lead. It was a bad 90s movie that was too cheesy even for the 80s.

3. Rocky IV: The one with Dolph Lundgren. Overly jingoistic, even for the Rocky series, this unrealistic, overblown fourth movie completely wore out an already worn out Rocky formula.

2. Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace: George Lucas ruins the most beloved trilogy of all time, transforming the series into a cold, dispassionate kids' movie, ironically ruining the childhood memories of millions of adults. A disgraceful embarrassment to the series that really should've been the end of it.

1. Batman and Robin: A campy Batman replete with homosexual innuendo, bat nipples, and not only the worst fourth movie, but the worst blockbuster movie of all time.

Maybe it's because i was 13 when it came out, but Rocky IV is probably my favorite of the series.

People banging EP 1 (again) need to get over it man. There's no way another Star Wars movie wasn't getting made. Was it a disappointment? Of course. One of the biggest but that was because of how much hype there was leading up to it. I don't think there has ever been a more anticipated movie in history. It was a mediocre film. But add the immense disappointment and people get the panties all bunched up.

EP 1 is not anywhere close to the worst movie ever.

Phantom Menace was nowhere near mediocre.

It had a bad guy they didn't even bother to write dialog for, so obvious was his purpose as marketing fodder for toy companies, an entire plot-free action sequence entirely concocted to become a video game, and a purposeless muppet there only to tie into the toddler dollars. It was at once both the most egregious job of whoring in cinema history AND a ####ing terrible piece of storytelling. It was a miserable film, top to bottom.

Very happy to see most of the FFA gets it. Crystal Skull, and it ain't close.

 

[slackjawedyokel]

Crystal Skull is the worst.

I actually liked the Die Hard film (cheesy action expected, but still entertaining).

 

[slackjawedyokel]

Wow, I've never seen a Jaws movie. Not sure what happened or where I was during those four releases.

Call off work tomorrow, go buy the DVD, watch a few times with a 12 pack. You are welcome.
