I have some reservations about these movies being on the list. The only source that actually says they are the worst is a poll voted on by fans of RiffTrax. Looking at the introductory paragraph to this article it states that the movies listed "have been cited by a combination of reputable sources as the worst movies of all time." One fan poll is certainly not enough to qualify as a combination of reputable sources. Looking at the other sources, the reviews from Rolling Stone, the San Francisco Chronicle, and MSN do not state that these are the worst movies. In fact the SF Chronicle and MSN don't even contain the word "worst". The Rolling Stone article does use the word "worst" but only by saying that Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 is the worst film in the saga. Under the Gun review probably isn't notable enough to be considered reliable as we don't have an article about their website, but even that review doesn't state that the Twilight movies are the worst of all time. That leaves us with a forum posting from fanpop.com, which isn't reliable and doesn't say that the movies are the worst of all time. We also have the aggregate score from Rotten Tomatoes. With scores of 27& from critics and 73% from audiences for New Moon and 24% from critics and 63% from audiences for Breaking Dawn 1, these references actually show these aren't considered the worst movies of all time. They may not be well regarded by critics, but the other movies with Rotten Tomatoes listed have 5% (Movie 53), 11% (Freddy Got Fingered), and 0% (Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever). In fact the list that includes Ballistic, is called the worst of the worst, and the highest score on that list appears to be under 4%, a far cry from two movies in the mid to high 20s. Until reliable sources that proclaim the Twilight movies the worst can be produced, we need to remove this from the list. AniMate 01:32, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
I removed them from the list. trainfan01 talk 02:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
How can a movie that's so poorly scripted and utterly lacking in life and humor, scored a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes and is so far the movie with the biggest clean sweep at the Razzies, NOT added here? I've seen it added an removed, but its quality has cemented its place in the list of worst films ever made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by THK1138 ( talk • contribs) 08:15, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
What is needed is reliable sources calling it the worst (or something self-evidently equivalent) if it is to be included.-- Sus scrofa ( talk) 12:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
I see no reason for this film to be on the list. There are a lot of bad reviews, but I see no sources calling it "the worst movie ever." The Shadow-Fighter ( talk) 23:17, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
I have removed it from the list. If any reliable sources do come forward that it is the worst movie ever, then it can be re-inserted. trainfan01 talk 02:57, 24 February, 2013 (UTC)
Is there any chance we could get the 2010 film The Last Airbender on this list? I'll provide my reasons: There was a casting controversy with fans making acquisitions of racism, it was nominated for nine razzies, won five overall, it has a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, the CGI & 3D has been universally panned, the plot was deemed incomprehensible, the dialogue was awkward and flat, many, many elements from the TV show were either cut out entirely or shortened so much, they had to be explained in a voiceover to keep from tearing plot holes wider, and of course, the unintentional humor of the word "bender" to the British audience (Bender being British slang for homosexual).
Also, could we get a consensus for why Jack and Jill is posted on here? It just says the title, as of yet. Should have a description too. Mister Self Destruct ( talk) 22:27, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Jack & Jill was re-added without discussion, and without any sources it will probably disappear again soon.-- Sus scrofa ( talk) 10:26, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Alright. I can live with that. I'm not gonna cling tenaciously to it, you have a good point. Thanks for clearing it up, anyhow! Mister Self Destruct ( talk) 21:57, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
By Crosswalkx- Yes I too thought The Last Airbender movie was rushed. The Last Airbender was under average but not the best. My biggest complaint with The Last Airbender was the characters were dull, boring, quiet and way too serious. There was no jokes and none of the characters were happy or funny. It definitely didn't follow the cartoon TV show. I even read in Leonard Maltin's movie guidebook that called it clunky pacing, flat performance and it was rated 1 1/2 stars. So yes I agree M. Night Shyamalan altered the story and messed it up. The only good thing I really liked about the movie was James Newtons music. But everything else in the movie bored me except for the fighting. Yes I think it's okay to put The Last Airbender movie in this worst movie list because alot of Avatar: Last Airbender fans were upset with the changes in the movie. Besides websites like rottentomatoes.com imdb.com thought it was a crummy movie. I hope that M. Night Shyamalan learns his lesson. I also heard Internet rumors that he wants to make The Last Airbender 2, but I think he should let it go and move on with other movies.
The film received highly panned reviews from film critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes collected a sample of 32 review and judged 3% of them to be positive. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that Cool World "misses one opportunity after another", describing it as "a surprisingly incompetent film". Deseret News reviewer Chris Hicks described it as "a one-joke movie – and it's a dirty joke. [...] And much of what's going on here seems more angry and nasty than inspired or funny." Variety reviewer Brian Lowry compared the film to an extended music video, praising the soundtrack and visuals, but panning the story. Leonard Maltin described the film as "too serious to be fun [and] too goofy to take seriously", and the lead characters as "unlikable and unappealing". The Washington Post reviewer Hal Hinson wondered "whether Kim Basinger is more obnoxious as a cartoon or as a real person," and felt that the combination of animation and live action was unconvincing.
The film garnered a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Actress (Kim Basinger; also for Final Analysis). - 69.137.32.46
That didn't take long.

While this movie may be easily the worst movie ever made, the current section on this list is more of a summery than anything else. It goes about listing several flaws, but never cites any sources calling it the worst. The only negative source it cites is rotten tomatoes. I believe that this section needs to be either removed, or rewritten. Kude90 ( talk) 17:39, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

While reading through some of the older entries, I noticed that many of the quotations have periods which where put outside of the quotes. Is this done intentionally? Or is some sort of mass fix needed? As far as I can tell, outside the quotation is British, not American, and that is supposed to be changed. Thanks,

Hello there I just want to let the wikipedia user in charge of this article know that it's okay for "The Last Airbender" 2010 movie to be included in the Films considered the worst I thought the movie was very boring so I agree it was a crummy movie, it should've been good like the cartoon TV show. I enjoyed Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon TV show it entertained me through all 3 seasons. But when I saw the movie I was very disappointed in the changes M. Night Shyamalan made in the movie. The only thing I ever liked in the movie was James Newton Howards music which was well done, but the movie itself was too serious and very rushed and took out the fun in characters. Please include The Last Airbender because it won many razzle awards during the same year Sex in the City 2 won razzle awards. A lot of critics and fans were very upset with The Last Airbender movie. at rottentomatoes.com it holds a 6% rating. at imdb.com it holds a 4.5 rating. at metacritic.com with a 20 out of 100 rating. Even Leonard Maltin thought the movie was bad.
Please let us include The Last Airbender because lot of other wikipedia users are ready for The Last Airbender movie to be included in the 2010s section. CrosswalkX ( talk) 02:41, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

These are reliable sources that you may find very helpful. If I did anything wrong in posting the web links. Then you may delete it. But all I'm trying to do is help convince you that The Last Airbender movie is acceptable for worst movie article. I hope I helped all the wikipedia users out. CrosswalkX ( talk) 01:14, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Are there any website sources I can look for to contribute "The Last Airbender" movie so it'll be acceptable to be included in the worst movie page? If so how do I post a neutral point of view article? How do I get permission from the movie critic. Let me know because I just want "The Last Airbender" to be included in the worst movie page and I'll be ok if you make any changes to my contributed article as long as "The Last Airbender gets to be included because it earned it's reputation as the worst movie ever. I'll do my best to create a professional article. CrosswalkX ( talk) 15:18, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Hey I've added "The Last Airbender" movie article in "Films considered the worst." Please tell me is this article acceptable for "Worst movies" page? Is it in a neutral point of view? Please tell me if I did it right. If not let me know because I've done alot of research on "The Last Airbender" movie and I've tried to make it professional and acceptable to wikipedia's standards. Let me know if I did anything wrong or if I need to correct something so it doesn't get deleted. CrosswalkX ( talk) 02:00, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
Sorry I messed up. Can you find a different wikipedia user who is willing to include an acceptable article "The Last Airbender" worst movie article? Please do because I know it has definitely earned it's reputation for being the worst movie ever made. Another movie that also earned it's worst movie reputation is "The Cat in the Hat" 2003 live action movie. I'm sorry I wasn't able to contribute an acceptable article, anyways I'm going to let someone else post "The Last Airbender" movie. I wouldn't have tried to post "The Last Airbender" if it wasn't considered the worst movie. I'm very sorry for M. Night Shyamalan and his actors and actresses who didn't know how to make it like the cartoon "Avatar: The Last Airbender" TV series. Anyways I'll be waiting for "The Last Airbender" movie to show up in "Films considered the worst." CrosswalkX ( talk) 01:36, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Glen or Glenda being the first one gives a gruesome idea of whats goind on here. Sources like imd that get a wider and real feedback from viewers, show that is considered a bad movie by most, and genius anticipation of a cruel discrimination and medical issue on gender dysphoria. Is a bad movie, but is far away from being one of the worst and has even received worship on media culture.
This article is transphobia propaganda unless fixed by honest people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.140.233.27 ( talk) 10:16, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
These are all movies that received bad critical reception, but were not declared one of the worst movie ever. If I could get support on this, I would be most appreciating. The Shadow-Fighter ( talk) 01:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Alright, Heaven's Gate was called the worst movie ever by at least one critic. But I don't think the others qualify. The Shadow-Fighter ( talk) 17:23, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Have you seen Monster-A-Go-Go? Most sound-minded people would come to the consensus that it belongs. There's literally no end because "there was no monster!". Really, I feel the removal of this and "Manos" plunges a worst movie list into irrelevance... Anyhow, enough opinionated talk, for one the original creator under its title of Terror at Halfday; Bill Rebane has cited it as the worst-that's a start, probably not very supportive for making its case. The Mst3k guys have also referred to it as such, on and off with "Manos"-considering what the article states at the top, wouldn't that be a reliable referral for that, or is it intentionally messing with me? -- Bladez636 ( talk) 01:30, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
One thing for certain is that Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saved the World) has no sources whatsoever calling it the worst, so I'm removing it. The Shadow-Fighter ( talk) 19:09, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
I have heard a great deal of people say Showgirls is one of the worst, so I guess that is qualifiable. But I think the article should be rewritten, because it does not contain any sources calling it the worst. The Shadow-Fighter ( talk) 22:49, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
I would very much like an explanation for the removal of the 2010's category, as it is A) A valid new decade and B) not empty. If not, I guess I'll just re-add it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kude90 ( talk • contribs) 14:48, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
I understand this film has been discussed on here several times before but I'd like to bring it up one more time. A month ago I posted several sources calling it "one of the worst" but that post got archived before it received adequate approval to be put back in the list. In Richard Roeper's review of Jack in Jill for it's DVD release he said said " The man who gave us Michael Corleone now has the unique distinction of appearing in the greatest movie of all time and one of the worst movies in the history of cinema!" [12] Ramin Setoodeh from The Daily Beast and Peter Travers of Rolling Stone reviewed the film together, the very title of the review is "Movie Review: Adam Sandler's 'Jack and Jill' Is the Worst Movie Ever Made". [13] RedLetterMedia claimed the film was so egregious that it ceased to be a film after an hour long dissection/review and called it "the worst thing in the world". [14] Mike McGranaghan of Rotten Tomatoes says "Howard the Duck, Gigli, Showgirls, From Justin to Kelly. What do they all have in common? They're all widely considered to be among the worst big studio movies ever made. You know what else they have in common? They're all better than Jack and Jill." [15] It was compared to Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda by the razzie awards, one of the worst movies ever according to this page, and won the worst remake award for that comparison. [16] It came in 8th in the worst movies of all time poll by rifftrax. [17]. Is all of this enough to get Jack and Jill back in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordMaldad2000 ( talk • contribs) 02:30, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Someone keeps adding this series, which does not appear to actually exist. Czolgolz ( talk) 03:31, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm not certain on the formatting for reposting from the archives, but here are the issues that were brought up in May 2009 over the entry that have not been addressed since. A single source from an essay book by a former MST3K writer is not enough to justify inclusion. This film is not that dissimilar from Superman IV and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier in being known as bad films to series/"geek media" fans and largely ignored by more general critics. Arcadina ( talk) 05:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm going to have to challenge Batman and Robin's inclusion on this list for several reasons:
While no doubt a bad film, it seems to be pretty far from being considered the worst by any citably large margin of reliable sources and has evidence to the contrary. If there's no objection within a couple days, I'm going to remove it. 140.146.210.18 ( talk) 02:15, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Recently, somebody copied and pasted the old text back without addressing the issues and tacked this on the end (as is):
Would this be considered a reputable source? Michael J. Nelson is a comedian and script writer, not a film critic and the book is mostly comedy rather than serious film analysis. Even then, I can't find any other serious source that calls it one of the worst films. 68.164.1.177 ( talk) 16:24, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Should Son of the Mask be here? It has an even lower rating than Catwoman on both Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, and it's one of the search suggestions on Google. Disdude13 ( talk) 10:26, 9 April 2013 (UTC)Disdude13
There is a breakdown of the film in this review that basically just points out why it is horrible
http://vodpod.com/watch/1782174-yor-hunter-from-the-future-movie-review-the-spoony-experiment
It's ratings on RT and IMDB could be lower, but most likely any up-votes are due to it being considered one of the most enjoyable bad movies to watch. [1]
It also received 3 Golden Raspberry nominations, though it didn't win any. [2]
I suspect the lack of negative attention is likely due to the lack of attention paid to the film period.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.181.45.31 ( talk • contribs) 23:52, 9 March 2012(UTC)
Directed by Vince Offer and originally envisioned as a sequel to Underground Comedy Movie, InAPPropriate Comedy has universally panned with criitics. Most reviews pertained to its reliance on ethnic humour and its resemblance to fellow sketch comedy, Movie 43, which has received equivocal reviews.

Hello wikipedia users I'm back. I know my past contribution articles didn't meet with wikipedias strict standards. I will try again and make sure that I do it professionally. While I'm a big fan of the Nickelodeon cartoon TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender, I was a little disappointed in how altered the live action movie "The Last Airbender" was. I did enjoy the fighting and the music and costumes and special effects. But the storyline bored me to death and I felt like the movie was way too serious and too High Society for a kids movie. The acting was very cheesy and almost put me to sleep, the movie felt like it was rushed and I think M. Night Shyamalan did a very sloppy job with his directing. Anyways I would like to help anyway I can and I will be very polite and respectful in doing so.
I emailed and asked Leonard Maltin if it was ok to have his Leonard Maltins movie book review 2012 "The Last Airbender" review quote in this worst movie article and he said "Hi… I can’t give you permission to do anything but quote the review in my Movie Guide, which you’re welcome to do. cheers, Leonard Maltin" So he tells me He can't give me permission but I'm welcome to do so.
Now since my past submitted articles "The Last Airbender" was rejected. I will try again and keep it in a neutral point of view. So I know that mentioning "The Last Airbender" 2010 won may razzie awards is not supposed to be included. Now I'm wondering which websites do I need to get the source material information from? Also how do you want this article presented? Let me know because it was considered the worst movie of 2010s. Also it would help if we had a vote on whether it was considered the worst. Please help me so we can have "The Last Airbender" article we can all agree on thanks. I'm ready for your reply. CrosswalkX ( talk) 16:36, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Sorry I'm doing my best I'll try to take the right approach. Now before I get started I want to show you the web links to why both movie critics and fans of "The Last Airbender" cartoon series was not happy with the way "The Last Airbender was made so here are the review links.
[ [18]] The Last Airbender: Worst Movie Epic Ever?
[ [19]] The Last Airbender is now, officially, the worst movie of 2010

Let me know if you think those are reliable sources for "The Last Airbender" movie to be included in "Worst movies ever" CrosswalkX ( talk) 22:46, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Yes I know but I have done alot of research on "The Last Airbender" 2010 movie. In the website [ [23]] there have been alot of negative user reviews on "The Last Airbender" because they were embarrassed and upset by the changes in M. Night Shyamalan's film and they also complained about how dull and boring and serious the movie was and that it didn't have any jokes, fun or laughter, also they complained about the mispronouncing of names especially Aangs name and even stereotyping of Asians and the controversy of casting characters. The film was given a rating of 4.5/10
Also at there have been many movie critics user reviews at [24] that also didn't like the movie, one of the movie critics from New York said "The Last Airbender? Let us hope so." and there have been other movie critics and Last Airbender fans that hoped there wouldn't be a sequel done by M. Night Shyamalan. I even emailed Chris Hicks a Utah movie critic and he said he even refused to review the movie since he felt like it was too negative to review. The film was given a 6% rating and only 42% of people liked it.
In fact there have been people that want to send M. Night Shyamalan's back to film school by doing a fundraiser at [ [25]] in hopes that he won't become like the director Ed Wood. Also there have been youtube.com videos on "The Last Airbender" movie review including rants, criticism about how bad and crummy the movie was compared to the great cartoon TV show. Also there was even a video of the "Razzie awards of 2010" with Dev Patel who accepted the Razzie award. Also M. Night Shyamalan won many Razzie awards compared with "Sex and the City 2" and "Vampires Suck"
Anyways I hope I was convincing enough. I'll be waiting for approval to add an article on "The Last Airbender" 2010 movie. Let me know if I can put in Lenorad Maltins movie review on "The Last Airbender" because it was in the movie guidebook of 2012.
Also I would like to invite any wikipedia users to help me out with "The Last Airbender" movie article for "Worst movies ever." I would even like to have a vote on it. Let me know if I have permission and I promise to keep the article in a neutral point of view and respectful. CrosswalkX ( talk) 20:52, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I want to go online and support Ben (CrosswalkX) in his concerns that "The Last Air Bender" that the movie was not an enjoyable feature film. Please understand that Ben (CrosswalkX)is autistic and sometimes has difficulty communicating with others. His concerns are that in the simplest form or entertainment the "Last Air Bender" did not have a good plot, the movie was rushed and there wasn't any fun. The music was great and the costumes and locations where good but the acting offended the original Air Bender cartoon. It did win Razzie Awards so Ben (CrosswalkX) isn't the only one that feels this way!

I've looked through the archives and found a couple of such sections, [31] [32] and it got me thinking. Currently, the way we have this article set up is that we have a "US only" section, "and a rest of the world" section. Would merging these two sections be enough to remove the World View tag, or do we have to add more foreign movies before that can happen? Kude90 ( talk) 10:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Let me preface by saying that this article is well-written, well-sourced, interesting, and good-looking. However, it has multiple issues that could be insurmountable. Firstly, it is almost exclusively about American (Hollywood) films and attempts to globalise it have been feeble. Secondly, it does not have the tone of an encyclopedia article but instead reads more like an essay or a web article on the topic. Is there a way to make this article more encyclopedic and lessen its geobias? — AjaxSmack 01:12, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was not moved. As noted below, this article is not about movies that have just received "negative reception", but specifically about those described by sources as the worst. The proposed title would redefine the topic in an imprecise way, making the topical scope of the article ambiguous and inviting a much wider indiscriminate list.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 15:45, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
I am proposing that this article be move to "List of films notable for negative reception" because the title "List of films considered the worst" does not seem encyclopedic. -- 72.65.238.157 ( talk) 23:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Although IMDb Bottom 100 should never be used as a primary source, reliable secondary sources [40] [41] commented on Disaster Movie taking the spot in first place not long after its premiere so I think this should be mentioned as well because it is notable.
Anybody opposed to this going in? LM2000 ( talk) 06:31, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
I have yet to see some films on this list that pertain a Metacritic score of 1 - a film called Chaos, and another called The Singing Forest. A Metacritic score of 1 must have some merit?

I am strongly, I repeat, STRONGLY against having this film on the list. Okay, so it was listed in a book of "100 worst movies of all time" and "50 worst movies of all time". Big whoop. I'll bet that more than half the movies in both those books aren't on this list. The film being listed in those books is the ONLY source even remotely pointing to it being referred to as one of the worst films of all time (with the exception of the Razzie nominations, but then again, why aren't ALL worst picture winners on this list?). If being listed in 2 top 50 worst films of all time / top 100 worst films of all time books is a reliable source, then every film in both those books should be on this list. This film has an above-average rating on RT, with two critics even giving it a 4/4, it received multiple award nominations, and was a box office hit (not that that matters, just saying). If you want to have this film on the list, it needs to have more sources. If someone doesn't respond to this message within 3 days, I'm removing it. The Shadow-Fighter ( talk) 02:10, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
"Some of the nastiest reviews ever" is easily considered synonymous with "worst reviews ever." To say that a source is supposed to say "worst reviews ever" is silly game playing (see WP:GAMETYPE) and not a valid argument. -- Oakshade ( talk) 04:10, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

I have some reservations about these movies being on the list. The only source that actually says they are the worst is a poll voted on by fans of RiffTrax. Looking at the introductory paragraph to this article it states that the movies listed "have been cited by a combination of reputable sources as the worst movies of all time." One fan poll is certainly not enough to qualify as a combination of reputable sources. Looking at the other sources, the reviews from Rolling Stone, the San Francisco Chronicle, and MSN do not state that these are the worst movies. In fact the SF Chronicle and MSN don't even contain the word "worst". The Rolling Stone article does use the word "worst" but only by saying that Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 is the worst film in the saga. Under the Gun review probably isn't notable enough to be considered reliable as we don't have an article about their website, but even that review doesn't state that the Twilight movies are the worst of all time. That leaves us with a forum posting from fanpop.com, which isn't reliable and doesn't say that the movies are the worst of all time. We also have the aggregate score from Rotten Tomatoes. With scores of 27& from critics and 73% from audiences for New Moon and 24% from critics and 63% from audiences for Breaking Dawn 1, these references actually show these aren't considered the worst movies of all time. They may not be well regarded by critics, but the other movies with Rotten Tomatoes listed have 5% (Movie 53), 11% (Freddy Got Fingered), and 0% (Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever). In fact the list that includes Ballistic, is called the worst of the worst, and the highest score on that list appears to be under 4%, a far cry from two movies in the mid to high 20s. Until reliable sources that proclaim the Twilight movies the worst can be produced, we need to remove this from the list. AniMate 01:32, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

How can a movie that's so poorly scripted and utterly lacking in life and humor, scored a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes and is so far the movie with the biggest clean sweep at the Razzies, NOT added here?

Is there any chance we could get the 2010 film The Last Airbender on this list? I'll provide my reasons: There was a casting controversy with fans making acquisitions of racism, it was nominated for nine razzies, won five overall, it has a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, the CGI & 3D has been universally panned, the plot was deemed incomprehensible, the dialogue was awkward and flat, many, many elements from the TV show were either cut out entirely or shortened so much, they had to be explained in a voiceover to keep from tearing plot holes wider, and of course, the unintentional humor of the word "bender" to the British audience (Bender being British slang for homosexual).
Also, could we get a consensus for why Jack and Jill is posted on here? It just says the title, as of yet. Should have a description too. Mister Self Destruct ( talk) 22:27, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Jack & Jill was re-added without discussion, and without any sources it will probably disappear again soon.-- Sus scrofa ( talk) 10:26, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

By Crosswalkx- Yes I too thought The Last Airbender movie was rushed. The Last Airbender was under average but not the best. My biggest complaint with The Last Airbender was the characters were dull, boring, quiet and way too serious. There was no jokes and none of the characters were happy or funny. It definitely didn't follow the cartoon TV show. I even read in Leonard Maltin's movie guidebook that called it clunky pacing, flat performance and it was rated 1 1/2 stars. So yes I agree M. Night Shyamalan altered the story and messed it up. The only good thing I really liked about the movie was James Newtons music. But everything else in the movie bored me except for the fighting. Yes I think it's okay to put The Last Airbender movie in this worst movie list because alot of Avatar: Last Airbender fans were upset with the changes in the movie. Besides websites like rottentomatoes.com imdb.com thought it was a crummy movie. I hope that M. Night Shyamalan learns his lesson. I also heard Internet rumors that he wants to make The Last Airbender 2, but I think he should let it go and move on with other movies.
The film received highly panned reviews from film critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes collected a sample of 32 review and judged 3% of them to be positive. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that Cool World "misses one opportunity after another", describing it as "a surprisingly incompetent film". Deseret News reviewer Chris Hicks described it as "a one-joke movie – and it's a dirty joke. [...] And much of what's going on here seems more angry and nasty than inspired or funny." Variety reviewer Brian Lowry compared the film to an extended music video, praising the soundtrack and visuals, but panning the story. Leonard Maltin described the film as "too serious to be fun [and] too goofy to take seriously", and the lead characters as "unlikable and unappealing". The Washington Post reviewer Hal Hinson wondered "whether Kim Basinger is more obnoxious as a cartoon or as a real person," and felt that the combination of animation and live action was unconvincing.
The film garnered a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Actress (Kim Basinger; also for Final Analysis). - 69.137.32.46
That didn't take long.

While this movie may be easily the worst movie ever made, the current section on this list is more of a summery than anything else. It goes about listing several flaws, but never cites any sources calling it the worst. The only negative source it cites is rotten tomatoes.

Hello there I just want to let the wikipedia user in charge of this article know that it's okay for "The Last Airbender" 2010 movie to be included in the Films considered the worst I thought the movie was very boring so I agree it was a crummy movie, it should've been good like the cartoon TV show. I enjoyed Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon TV show it entertained me through all 3 seasons. But when I saw the movie I was very disappointed in the changes M. Night Shyamalan made in the movie. The only thing I ever liked in the movie was James Newton Howards music which was well done, but the movie itself was too serious and very rushed and took out the fun in characters. Please include The Last Airbender because it won many razzle awards during the same year Sex in the City 2 won razzle awards. A lot of critics and fans were very upset with The Last Airbender movie. at rottentomatoes.com it holds a 6% rating. at imdb.com it holds a 4.5 rating. at metacritic.com with a 20 out of 100 rating. Even Leonard Maltin thought the movie was bad.
Please let us include The Last Airbender because lot of other wikipedia users are ready for The Last Airbender movie to be included in the 2010s section. CrosswalkX ( talk) 02:41, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Glen or Glenda being the first one gives a gruesome idea of whats goind on here. Sources like imd that get a wider and real feedback from viewers, show that is considered a bad movie by most, and genius anticipation of a cruel discrimination and medical issue on gender dysphoria. Is a bad movie, but is far away from being one of the worst and has even received worship on media culture.

Have you seen Monster-A-Go-Go? Most sound-minded people would come to the consensus that it belongs. There's literally no end because "there was no monster!". Really, I feel the removal of this and "Manos" plunges a worst movie list into irrelevance... Anyhow, enough opinionated talk, for one the original creator under its title of Terror at Halfday; Bill Rebane has cited it as the worst-that's a start, probably not very supportive for making its case. The Mst3k guys have also referred to it as such, on and off with "Manos"-considering what the article states at the top, wouldn't that be a reliable referral for that, or is it intentionally messing with me? -- Bladez636 ( talk) 01:30, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

I understand this film has been discussed on here several times before but I'd like to bring it up one more time. A month ago I posted several sources calling it "one of the worst" but that post got archived before it received adequate approval to be put back in the list. In Richard Roeper's review of Jack in Jill for it's DVD release he said said " The man who gave us Michael Corleone now has the unique distinction of appearing in the greatest movie of all time and one of the worst movies in the history of cinema!" [12] Ramin Setoodeh from The Daily Beast and Peter Travers of Rolling Stone reviewed the film together, the very title of the review is "Movie Review: Adam Sandler's 'Jack and Jill' Is the Worst Movie Ever Made". [13] RedLetterMedia claimed the film was so egregious that it ceased to be a film after an hour long dissection/review and called it "the worst thing in the world". [14] Mike McGranaghan of Rotten Tomatoes says "Howard the Duck, Gigli, Showgirls, From Justin to Kelly. What do they all have in common? They're all widely considered to be among the worst big studio movies ever made. You know what else they have in common? They're all better than Jack and Jill." [15] It was compared to Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda by the razzie awards, one of the worst movies ever according to this page, and won the worst remake award for that comparison. [16] It came in 8th in the worst movies of all time poll by rifftrax. [17].

I'm not certain on the formatting for reposting from the archives, but here are the issues that were brought up in May 2009 over the entry that have not been addressed since. A single source from an essay book by a former MST3K writer is not enough to justify inclusion. This film is not that dissimilar from Superman IV and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier in being known as bad films to series/"geek media" fans and largely ignored by more general critics. Arcadina ( talk) 05:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm going to have to challenge Batman and Robin's inclusion on this list for several reasons:
While no doubt a bad film, it seems to be pretty far from being considered the worst by any citably large margin of reliable sources and has evidence to the contrary. If there's no objection within a couple days, I'm going to remove it. 140.146.210.18 ( talk) 02:15, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Recently, somebody copied and pasted the old text back without addressing the issues and tacked this on the end (as is):
Would this be considered a reputable source? Michael J. Nelson is a comedian and script writer, not a film critic and the book is mostly comedy rather than serious film analysis.

There is a breakdown of the film in this review that basically just points out why it is horrible
http://vodpod.com/watch/1782174-yor-hunter-from-the-future-movie-review-the-spoony-experiment
It's ratings on RT and IMDB could be lower, but most likely any up-votes are due to it being considered one of the most enjoyable bad movies to watch. [1]
It also received 3 Golden Raspberry nominations, though it didn't win any. [2]
I suspect the lack of negative attention is likely due to the lack of attention paid to the film period.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.181.45.31 ( talk • contribs) 23:52, 9 March 2012(UTC)

Hello wikipedia users I'm back. I know my past contribution articles didn't meet with wikipedias strict standards. I will try again and make sure that I do it professionally. While I'm a big fan of the Nickelodeon cartoon TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender, I was a little disappointed in how altered the live action movie "The Last Airbender" was. I did enjoy the fighting and the music and costumes and special effects. But the storyline bored me to death and I felt like the movie was way too serious and too High Society for a kids movie. The acting was very cheesy and almost put me to sleep, the movie felt like it was rushed and I think M. Night Shyamalan did a very sloppy job with his directing. Anyways I would like to help anyway I can and I will be very polite and respectful in doing so.
I emailed and asked Leonard Maltin if it was ok to have his Leonard Maltins movie book review 2012 "The Last Airbender" review quote in this worst movie article and he said "Hi… I can’t give you permission to do anything but quote the review in my Movie Guide, which you’re welcome to do. cheers, Leonard Maltin" So he tells me He can't give me permission but I'm welcome to do so.
Now since my past submitted articles "The Last Airbender" was rejected. I will try again and keep it in a neutral point of view. So I know that mentioning "The Last Airbender" 2010 won may razzie awards is not supposed to be included. Now I'm wondering which websites do I need to get the source material information from? Also how do you want this article presented? Let me know because it was considered the worst movie of 2010s. Also it would help if we had a vote on whether it was considered the worst. Please help me so we can have "The Last Airbender" article we can all agree on thanks. I'm ready for your reply. CrosswalkX ( talk) 16:36, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Sorry I'm doing my best I'll try to take the right approach. Now before I get started I want to show you the web links to why both movie critics and fans of "The Last Airbender" cartoon series was not happy with the way "The Last Airbender was made so here are the review links.
[ [18]] The Last Airbender: Worst Movie Epic Ever?
[ [19]] The Last Airbender is now, officially, the worst movie of 2010

There are many more website examples of why it was considered the worst movie. I hope those are reliable sources that'll help you or any wikipedia users who want to contribute. Let me know if you think those are reliable sources for "The Last Airbender" movie to be included in "Worst movies ever" CrosswalkX ( talk) 22:46, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Yes I know but I have done alot of research on "The Last Airbender" 2010 movie. In the website [ [23]] there have been alot of negative user reviews on "The Last Airbender" because they were embarrassed and upset by the changes in M. Night Shyamalan's film and they also complained about how dull and boring and serious the movie was and that it didn't have any jokes, fun or laughter, also they complained about the mispronouncing of names especially Aangs name and even stereotyping of Asians and the controversy of casting characters. The film was given a rating of 4.5/10
Also at there have been many movie critics user reviews at [24] that also didn't like the movie, one of the movie critics from New York said "The Last Airbender? Let us hope so." and there have been other movie critics and Last Airbender fans that hoped there wouldn't be a sequel done by M. Night Shyamalan. I even emailed Chris Hicks a Utah movie critic and he said he even refused to review the movie since he felt like it was too negative to review. The film was given a 6% rating and only 42% of people liked it.
In fact there have been people that want to send M. Night Shyamalan's back to film school by doing a fundraiser at [ [25]] in hopes that he won't become like the director Ed Wood. Also there have been youtube.com videos on "The Last Airbender" movie review including rants, criticism about how bad and crummy the movie was compared to the great cartoon TV show. Also there was even a video of the "Razzie awards of 2010" with Dev Patel who accepted the Razzie award. Also M. Night Shyamalan won many Razzie awards compared with "Sex and the City 2" and "Vampires Suck"
Anyways I hope I was convincing enough. I'll be waiting for approval to add an article on "The Last Airbender" 2010 movie. Let me know if I can put in Lenorad Maltins movie review on "The Last Airbender" because it was in the movie guidebook of 2012.

The Last Airbender 2010
Time Magazine ranked “The Last Airbender: Worst Movie Epic Ever?” By Richard Corliss “In his first film adaptation — his most expensive project by far — Shyamalan has hit paper-scissors-rock bottom, and the promise of a sequel at this movie's end feels more like a threat. Please, Hollywood, if there's to be another Airbender movie, hand the job to some efficient hack, and not to a once mesmerizing artist who's lost his way. Source: [ [26]] At Voices Yahoo Eric Shirey said “Worst Movie of 2010: 'The Last Airbender' For Once the Movie Critics and Fans Agree on One Thing”- “The action sequences in "The Last Airbender" were even boring. They were so run-of-the-mill and lackluster that you very well could find yourself drifting off amidst all the noisy clatter and planned spontaneous explosions. It's pretty bad when you can't even get excited about characters throwing water and fire bombs at each other.” [ [27]] Last Airbender Review: Worst Movie of the Year Submitted by Claire Light: “As of this writing, the movie has a 00% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That's the first time I've ever seen that. I'm sure that score will rise slightly over the next few days, but it's pretty telling. This movie is a disaster. Don't waste your time. Don't waste your money. Let this franchise die the pathetic death it's been begging for all along. Avatar: The Last Airbender didn't want to be a movie anyway. Let it stay a TV show and stay pure.” Source: [ [28]] Official: The Last Airbender is the Worst Reviewed Movie of 2010 (So Far)- "It is now official, M Night Shyamalan‘s The Last Airbender has beaten the Brendan Fraser animal family comedy Furry Vengeance to become the worst reviewed film of the year. This according to Rotten Tomatoes, which compiles reviews from movie critics from around the world. Airbender has a 6% rating with 80 reviews counted thus far. That means that only five of the critics files a positive review. If you’re wondering which movie critics liked the movie, hit the jump." Source: [ [29]] This movie has received negative criticism from both movie critics and fans for the changes M. Night Shyamlan has made in the movie including wooden acting, mispronouncing Aangs name, taking out the fun and laughter that made “Avatar: The Last Airbender” a popular Nickelodeon TV show. Rotten tomates website said “Despite flashy special effects, The Last Airbender squanders the potential of its popular source material on an incomprehensible plot, laughable dialogue, and a joyless sense of detachment.” Currently this movie holds a rating of %6 Source: [ [30]]
Please tell me if you think this article is acceptable for "Films Considered the Worst" but if you think it doesn't meet with your strict standards let me know. Please tell me what parts need to be deleted and if you think it's professional or not. But remember this movie was considered the worst movie of the 2010 year.

I want to go online and support Ben (CrosswalkX) in his concerns that "The Last Air Bender" that the movie was not an enjoyable feature film. Please understand that Ben (CrosswalkX)is autistic and sometimes has difficulty communicating with others. His concerns are that in the simplest form or entertainment the "Last Air Bender" did not have a good plot, the movie was rushed and there wasn't any fun. The music was great and the costumes and locations where good but the acting offended the original Air Bender cartoon. It did win Razzie Awards so Ben (CrosswalkX) isn't the only one that feels this way! Please accept his article that he has drafted for Wikipedia Worst Movies ever or communicate your concerns with him. Thank you! Newgrains ( talk) 02:24, 13 May 2013 (UTC) Newgrains Tim Lawson

I've looked through the archives and found a couple of such sections, [31] [32] and it got me thinking. Currently, the way we have this article set up is that we have a "US only" section, "and a rest of the world" section. Would merging these two sections be enough to remove the World View tag, or do we have to add more foreign movies before that can happen? Kude90 ( talk) 10:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
" [33] "This got us thinking: what is the worst film to dominate the box office charts? A Good Day To Die Hard is certainly up there."
[34] "A Good Day to Die Hard is a terrible film, one of the very worst theatrical movies I have ever seen."
("the·at·ri·cal Of, for, or relating to acting, actors, or the theater", for the critics of this entry. Last I checked, Bruce Willis is an actor, who acts in this movie.)
Also, [35] Contact Music added this movie to their list of the worst movies ever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kude90 ( talk • contribs) 02:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
For those who are adding new movies, and need help with the flags, Template:Flagicon, and Category:Country data templates are the two articles you need to see for the flags. Thanks in advance, Kude90 ( talk) 00:07, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Let me preface by saying that this article is well-written, well-sourced, interesting, and good-looking. However, it has multiple issues that could be insurmountable. Firstly, it is almost exclusively about American (Hollywood) films and attempts to globalise it have been feeble. Secondly, it does not have the tone of an encyclopedia article but instead reads more like an essay or a web article on the topic. Is there a way to make this article more encyclopedic and lessen its geobias? — AjaxSmack 01:12, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was not moved. As noted below, this article is not about movies that have just received "negative reception", but specifically about those described by sources as the worst. The proposed title would redefine the topic in an imprecise way, making the topical scope of the article ambiguous and inviting a much wider indiscriminate list.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 15:45, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
I am proposing that this article be move to "List of films notable for negative reception" because the title "List of films considered the worst" does not seem encyclopedic. -- 72.65.238.157 ( talk) 23:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Although IMDb Bottom 100 should never be used as a primary source, reliable secondary sources [40] [41] commented on Disaster Movie taking the spot in first place not long after its premiere so I think this should be mentioned as well because it is notable.
Anybody opposed to this going in? LM2000 ( talk) 06:31, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
I have yet to see some films on this list that pertain a Metacritic score of 1 - a film called Chaos, and another called The Singing Forest. A Metacritic score of 1 must have some merit?
NOTE: I have not personally seen these films, and I have no intention to do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.58.225 ( talk) 12:25, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
I am strongly, I repeat, STRONGLY against having this film on the list. Okay, so it was listed in a book of "100 worst movies of all time" and "50 worst movies of all time". Big whoop. I'll bet that more than half the movies in both those books aren't on this list. The film being listed in those books is the ONLY source even remotely pointing to it being referred to as one of the worst films of all time (with the exception of the Razzie nominations, but then again, why aren't ALL worst picture winners on this list?). If being listed in 2 top 50 worst films of all time / top 100 worst films of all time books is a reliable source, then every film in both those books should be on this list. This film has an above-average rating on RT, with two critics even giving it a 4/4, it received multiple award nominations, and was a box office hit (not that that matters, just saying). If you want to have this film on the list, it needs to have more sources. If someone doesn't respond to this message within 3 days, I'm removing it.

"Some of the nastiest reviews ever" is easily considered synonymous with "worst reviews ever." To say that a source is supposed to say "worst reviews ever" is silly game playing (see WP:GAMETYPE) and not a valid argument. -- Oakshade ( talk) 04:10, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Anybody opposed to any of these?
