Seen plenty of boring, mediocre films that are a crying waste of n-million dollars. But the 3 worst films in the world:
Cabin Fever. Total, utter shite. The DVD extra is the guy's previous "film", which is a stop-motion animated story about some vegetables that's seemingly made by twelve year olds - and that's better than the film itself. It's not funny; it's not scary; it's like having a stoned frat boy tell you at length about his inane dream.
Magnolia. You wait for hours - hours! - for the grand finale that the director explicitly promises at the beginning of the film, but oh, he's forgotten it, so it just rains frogs instead. I've actually spoilt it for you now, but you should thank me. Pretentious shite covered in 5-star reviews from critics that didn't understand it and played it safe.
Sin City. For some reason this is a controversial choice, because lots of morons like it and, admittedly, it looks really good. But it's actually the most pathetic film in the world, with the worst dialogue. And I normally like the overblown Tarantino-style stuff... it's just that Robert Rodriquez is so fucking hamfisted at it (see also, Once Upon a Time in Mexico.) Misogynistic for the sake of it and disgusting for the sake of it. The only film I have ever considered walking out of. If you like it, you should be anally raped by Dashiell Hammett's ghost.
