The 2004 movie you're thinking of where Godzilla curbstomped Zilla (that's the name they gave him) is Godzilla: Final Wars. It's pretty good, I think.

Entertaining as heck.  Drags in the middle, though.  But the final act is great.

In hindsight, if I hadn't gone in with such high expectations,  it would have been an OK movie

My daughter was more disappointed than me. As we left the theater,  she let loose with a string of profanity that made me blush

Fair enough. I stumbled upon it last year on a streaming service and went in with 0 expectations

Just finished 'The Homesman.'

A very nice slice-of-western life.

More accurate (IMO) than 95% of the usual Westerns that Hollywood cranks out.

Bleak, raw, ragged.

Flawed, real characters.

Excellent acting.

Didn't want it to end.

Vampire in Brooklyn will likely never be topped with me.  Wes Craven?  Eddie Murphy? Angela Bassett?  My gosh, how could this group produce such a flaming turd of a movie.  Johnny Be Good, with Anthony Michael Hall as a heavily recruited star quarterback ( ! ) was the only movie I walked out of early and "First Wives Club" is the only movie I fell asleep during in a theatre, so I wouldn't know if they got better

i don't count direct to DVD crap like "The Take" that I had the misfortune of catching today on HBO.

But isn't disappointment the most powerful factor in the unpleasant movie experience?

For sure, but I guess I am getting stuck on the word 'worst'.  It isn't movie we hate the most, is most overrated, or biggest disappointment.  IMO there is a high level of skill that is involved in some of the movies listed and I would be surprised they are the worst thing people have seen, so I personally call b.s. on movies listed by directors like Kubrick, Anderson, and the like.  

 
Ordinary People & English Patient.   I think both won best picture of the year.  probably wrong-but bad movies IMHO

Agree with English Patient being undeserving but I love Ordinary People.

What about the combination of Wes Craven and Eddie Murphy gave you high expectations?

 
Play Dirty.  Really dumb WWII movie in Africa starring Michael Caine.  

ETA:  Someone told me this was on their bucket list of movies to see.  Wow.  Just wow.

Blockbuster category: Godzilla  (Matthew Broderick version).

Toho killed him off in 1995 and greenlit TriStar to revive him in the first American version with a huge special effects budget that dwarfed what the Japanese spent on his movies.  TriStar was planning on a trilogy as they thought they had a property that would rake in billions.  The production was done in intense secrecy as was the promotional campaign: The reveal of what an American Godzilla would look like was going to be a surprise that would blow you away.  Billboards and banners were placed all over NYC with teasers of his size ("his tail is as long as this city block").

Then the movie released.

Then Toho and TriStar put the trilogy idea on hold.

Then Toho resumed making their own Godzilla movies a year later after killing him off just 4 years prior.  They desperately wanted to wash the stink off of their creation after what TriStar did to it.  Toho even made a film in 2004 in which Godzilla swiftly killed the American version.

Then Legendary got the rights and made an okay American version in 2014 and now they, not TriStar, are making the trilogy.

In a world where movie studios take a property and crank out one uninspired sequel after another (looking at you, Transformers), it takes a special effort to kill that model.  Yet TriStar did exactly that with 1998's Godzilla. That's its own category of awful.

Hollywood often makes the mistake of turning high cheese factor stuff into big budget stuff and then wonders why it didn't work.

Re: Hudson Hawk
I think this is a movie that has aged better with time.  Didn't deserve the blockbuster summer release spot that it received, but I can't put it on any worst movies list.  

Someone also mentioned Johnny Be Good.  That's another on my guilty pleasures list.  Not a good movie at all, but I enjoy it for some reason.

What's everyone's thought on Ishtar?  I remember it getting roasted on release, but again for me, nothing I'd put on any worst movies list.

I'm crossing off all Troma, torture porn, and other stuff I just won't watch. Also needs to have a decent budget to be considered. 

I landed on Superman III because I was a fan of the Reeves films as a kid, and the third left me confused and in tears. A despicable use of the Superman franchise. 

 
We talking movies that were billed as "These will be great!!"/had a budget, but then were just dreck?  Or are we talking any and all things ever captured on celluloid?

If it's the latter, then "Yor: Hunter From the Future" is the answer.

If it's the former, how can it be anything other than "Waterworld?"

 
We’re talking simply terrible movies here, movies we’ve all heard of. 

Not something you and your buddies shot behind Wawa on a $325 budget after watching Clerks, but a real movie, in a theater, that was awful...

Family Stone.  Only time I have walked out before the end of a movie.  What a steaming pile...

I didn't pick it because there are obviously worse movies, but holy hell do I hate this movie.  Also hate Love Actually. 

I think I'm just opposed to pretentious Hollywood Christmas movies.

Better than Superman IV and Superman Returns.

III ruined the franchise. 

IV was also bad, but I at least remember there being some campiness to it (I only saw it once). Returns was non-memorable, but I don't recall anything offensive...I saw it in IMAX and barely remember it (something about an airplane rescue?). 

 
The first movie that came to mind was Rubber.  I saw it on one of the premium movie channels one night and it was just ridiculous.  It's about a tire that has powers in order to make it move and it can explode animal's and human's heads.  It's basically a tire rolling and bouncing around the whole time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_(2010_film)

The other movie I thought of was Mac and Me.

My brother LOVES that movie. He made me watch it one night when we were drunk and I actually had a good time with it. It's ridiculous, but it's funny if you're drunk or high.

 
Glad to see people listing the most disappointing movies they've seen.  Phantom Menace isn't technically a horrible movie, but the buildup was so high and let down was so low...man, that was so disappointing.  Can't think of a movie character I hated more than Jar Jar

I can without qualification say that the 1-3 movies were objectively horrible.

:lmao:   I really want to see this.

 
These are all movies that I have seen.

Winner:

Michael - Rented this for a movie night with another couple.  The girls picked this movie.  They are no longer allowed to pick a movie again.  Just Horrific.  How the hell did this movie finish #1 at the box office it's opening week and #16 for all of 1996?

Runner Ups:

Yor: Hunter From the Future - Saw this in the theater with my cousin in the Summer of '83.  This is horrifically bad.  Pretty sure we saw Strange Brew right afterward.

Superman IV - Worse than III in my opinion.  Nuclear Man?

Nothing but Trouble - Wow was this bad, if you've never seen this, don't, just take my word for it.

Honorable Mentions:

Howard the Duck - Bad, but still fun to watch it.  Lea Thompson looked pretty good.

Smokey and the Bandit: Part 3 - Pretty bad.  Why did they make this?  

Meatballs Part II - This might belong in the runner ups category. 

Who's that Girl? - Can't believe I watched this.
