Share the worst 1-3 hours of film you ever laid eyes on below. Me? The Last Airbender. I tried with all my might to enjoy that movie but it was bad in almost every way.

They said the names wrong. (Ohng, Sohka, Earoh, etc)
Aang's actor wasn't happy. I'll admit at his age his martial art skills are great, but as an actor he just didn't fit the characters role.
Katara's actor was SUPER bland and boring. Please don't make me explain why.
Sokka's actor wasn't funny. Not a single joke, he was practically angry the whole time.
Iroh's actor wasn't chubby. Nothing TOO wrong with that, in fact, Iroh was the only character I really liked in the movie. Probably because he's my favorite character in the show, and I didn't really see too much inaccuracy in the movie.
It takes too long for them to air/fire/water/earth bend.
Honestly, 5 seconds of dancing equals one small pebble lifted off the ground. In the show one swift motion can cause a frickin' landslide.
The main cast didn't match the nationalities of the show. You'd think the animation style would at least give them a hint...
It was just boring. The battle when the Fire Nation invades the Northern Water Tribe was so lame for some reason. Yeah, there's all this warfare and battle going on but the pacing was so slow.

The OK parts...

Effects were surprisingly good. Some people say it was lame but I thought it was really neat. I liked the water effects the most, with earth (obviously) being the most unimpressive.
Music was pretty decent. I was hoping for some of the songs from the show to be in the movie, maybe even remixed a bit, but instead we got a fully composed original soundtrack. Which, to be honest, was really great.
Story was followed alright. Many things in the movie didn't match up in the show, but this is a 20 episode season M. Night tried to jam into an hour and forty-minute long film, and he did an okay job. Episodes he skipped that featured characters like the Kyoshi Warriors and Aang's first shot at firebending shouldn't have been overlooked, as they have a big impact in the later seasons.

Sadly, that's it. All the parts that should have been good, weren't. I'm hoping for the sequel either M. Night learns from his mistakes and follows the show more closely, or a new, better, director takes his place. The reason why I think M. Night should get a second chance is because he HAS made some good movies in the past, but suddenly things just went downhill, with TLA being his most poorly reviewed film ever. I really hope he shifts things into high gear in the future.

Your choices?

Manos: The Hands of Fate. I watched the MST3K version and it couldn't save it.

Definitely not one of the worst movies ever, but one of the most disappointing: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The TV series did a much better job with it, and I nearly hated the TV series. The movie has definitely made me appreciate the TV series a lot more.

[LaserX5]

Personally, some of the worst movies I ever saw was Hoodwinked Too and Shrek the Third.

Just a big joke compared to its predecessors.

Others that I never saw, but saw video reviews from and thought they were awful too...

1. North.

2. Garbage Pail Kids.

3. Legend of Titanic(animated)

[Vlad Yvhv]

Wait? Only limited to 2 hours? Does that mean that we can't list Titanic? Cause my mom literally wore out both VHS tapes of that abomination... And in a trailer house, there's nowhere to escape it... Especially when you've got 15 hours worth of homework...

Apart from that:
1: The Dukes of Hazzard movie. That was a slap in the face of the fans, the show, and everyone who worked on the show. Ben Jones (AKA: The real Cooter Davenport; the organizer of Dukes Fest) organized a boycott of the movie. What's worse is that they tried to market it as a show made by fans of the show. Particular offenses included making Boss Hogg skinny and Rosco fat, turning Daisy and the boys into ditzes, Jessie Duke being pro-marijuana and a drunk, and the fat guy who wears no pants and an armadillo hat. The people responsible for making this movie should be strapped to the bottoms of cars and jumped over the cliff from the intro of the show. For those who don't know what that means: Go and watch a clip from the show involving the General jumping something and take note of the landing. Hint: the car effectively crushes itself on landing. Also: the cliff jump is still in the world records for a long-distance, high-altitude car jump.
2: Almost anything made by the Sci-Fi/Syfy Channel. Seriously. I think they're just making movies because people wouldn't be able to handle Eureka and Warehouse 13 if they had larger production values.
3: Anything made by the Chiller network. Thing Syfy movies, but in the horror genera. Only, they're low budget because the network is new and subsists mainly on ratings from showing reruns of The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone. Also, any horror movie that Chiller shows. They cut out the good parts and excise entire scenes due to swearing, instead of just bleeping it out. So, expect a good horror movie to literally be butchered into something that doesn't make any sense.
4: So-called comedies that rely on stupidity. These movies make Syfy and Chiller movies look good.

Halloween Remake & Sequel
They're both bad they deserve to share this spot. As bad as Busta Rhymes was for sinking the franchise, Rob Zombie dug up its corpse and sodomized it while parading it around town for everyone to behold. This talentless idiot completely missed the point of the old Halloween being subtle and making Michael a ghostly enigmatic figure and just went for Charles Manson with a mask fetish.
Michael is supposed to be pure evil incarnate. He is unexplainable,unreasonable,and the darkness. Also, lets look how in the old movies most of the characters were relatively normal acting and quite intelligent for a slasher. The ones in these new ones make the Ft13th fodder look like geniuses. What made this really unpleasant to sit through was how every character was beyond redeemable. Loomis' character is a complete cynical bastard who does not care about stopping Michael but just capitalizing on his success. Lorie becomes a crying wimpy little girl who turns into Michael MKII at the end. The overuse of swearing and RAPE was not necessary. When you have rape in a movie that really pisses me off.

Super Mario Bros.

Do I really need to say anything else?

[DLTN]

Zardoz... just... What the fuck? It has to be the most bizarre and random movie ever made... The Room has nothing on this.

[DMoney]

The Green Hornet
Tron: Legacy
Lady in the Water
Held Up
Jeepers Creepers
Titan A.E.

just to name a few

Wait...
lady in the water might've been more than 2hrs. Oh well, it sucked that bad so it must be mentioned here!

[Inhibitor]

My bad about the 1-2 hours thing, list ANY movie you've seen that you consider the worst.

[blue]

Cats & dogs 2 revenge of kitty galore. The 1st half was alright, but at the 2nd half made the movie fall apart.

[Shadow]

Tron: Legacy
Titan A.E.

Those were good movies!

Oh,another I forgot to add is Tideland. Pretentiousness and pedophilia.

[MoKat]

I second The Dukes of Hazzard movie and The Last Airbender and I'm adding The Other Guys.
My husband's co-workers thought it was funny, but we both thought it was sooo stupid, we didn't even bother watching all of it.
I think we made it about half way through that turd of a movie when we voted to turn it off. I think we laughed a grand total of once, and that was pretty close to the beginning.

Still haven't seen Tron: Legacy, but I keep hearing things that make me not want to watch it.

[Reed Teran]

THE ROOM.
By god that movie was awful. The nostalgia critic nearly died reviewing it. Jesus, tommy wiseau sucks!

[Prime]

Robowar
A cheap and cheesy as fuck ripoff of Predator, which replaces the alien with a dude who was turned into a cyborg who wears a biker helmet/gimp suit combo. Plus the movie steals a bunch of scenes from Predator and the cast have the acting talent of a nasty turd sandwich.

The Star Wars Prequels
Seriously? After all those years of waiting, we got those as the prequels to the "greatest" trilogy of all time? Crappy CGI creations that are distracting and cluttering up the screen? Boring ass scenes of people sitting in a room talking about shit I don't care about? And very, VERY long lightsaber battles which by the 5 minute mark I don't give a crap about anymore. I wonder how much cocaine George Lucas took between 1985-2005 to result in the creation of anything related to the prequels. I'd mention the Special Editions to the original trilogy too, but Lucas is pissing about with them again for the upcoming blu-ray release.

[Vlad Yvhv]

Zardoz... just... What the fuck? It has to be the most bizarre and random movie ever made... The Room has nothing on this.

Try watching Demon Hunter. Zardoz has a plot. A terribly confused plot. But still a plot. And they warn you that it's all BS at the beginning. Demon Hunter is a bunch of random scenes spliced together and called a movie.

Dude... Titan A.E. is effing awesome...

[salamander]

The Wicker Man, the Nicholas Cage version.. Lots of unintentional hilarity that's been all over youtube already, but it's worse watching it all the way through not knowing what you're in for. The tone is totally serious, so you're following along like a legit crime drama, and it just slowly gets stupider and stupider until you're deep into the bear suit and the bees (NO NOT THE BEES BLAAAARRRRGH). It's like a big practical joke, like you watched an episode of Law and Order and when they get to the verdit the judge pulls down his pants and goes "I find the defendant *FAAAAAARRRRRRT*"

Also this. I remember rewatching the Phantom Menace after all the hype had died down and being just shocked at how awful it was. I'm just completely bored watching action scenes that have no buildup or consequence or connection to a compelling story, and the star wars prequels send me right to sleep. At least we got the Redlettermedia reviews out of them.

I know everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but sometimes I feel that most people just aren't that accepting with what they're offered. Yes, the prequels are lacking compared to the original trilogy; but I feel that the trilogy's lackluster reception was mostly due to the fan's over-hyped reaction. The older generation hated it while the younger generation (like myself) liked it for what it had to offer.

[Inhibitor]

Also, if you guys can help it, list movies you've actually seen. In other words, movies you've seen clips of through reviews ought to be omitted as you only see the scenes the Nostalgia Critic...my bad, the reviewer, chooses to show. Of course, no harm in mentioning the movies that are bad, but I also like to see the reasons why you personally dislike them, a rating you would give it, etc...not just the stuff you see through clips.

The Last Unicorn. Though I vaguely remembered it, but I do know that I don't like it due to bad character designs. Though that's just me.
The Last Airbender. Had a decent start, but fell aprt with poor execution and unconvincing dialouge

[Vlad Yvhv]

Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. It's a rather confusing movie and has nothing to do with the rest of the series. Apparently, some company hates kids, so they run a big campain to make all the kids in a specific town get their brand of masks, which will melt the kids' faces off when an images is played on the TV. Or something like that. I don't recall the detective ever figuring out what that was about... Or maybe they edited out those scenes to make room for the commercials... It's really not the kind of movie you can follow through a commercial break...
