So that's the list. I've actually only seen two of these and I knew they were going to be bad, I'm really good at picking out the good from the bad based on previews. But in the podunk town I live in, sometimes you go watch bad movies because you get tired of watching paint dry.
So how many did you pay to go see in the theater? And are there any that you disagree with?

Saw Wild Wild West in the theater and while I think it is definitely one of Will's worst movies, I don't think it's even close to as bad as most of the movies on this list.
Osmosis Jones I enjoyed too.
I am one of the few people that like Waterworld, it reminds me of the Mad Max movies.

Never seen any of them in the Theatre ... I hate going to the movies. Last movie I saw in the theatre was TITANIC.
But I've only seen one of the movies on that list and it was Waterworld ... which I honestly didn't think was that bad really.

Didn't see any in the theater, but I have seen Wild Wild West, Speed 2 and Catwoman - none were great, but I wouldn't say any were horrible either...

I actually liked WWW and Waterworld. Battlefield earth was also a cool movie....But then this is coming form a guy who watches Spaceballs and Dude Where's my Car monthly.
There's no accounting for taste I guess,lol.
I haven't seen the others though.

I've seen Water World and Wild Wild West. Terrible movies. The others, I can probably tell they are terrible also. Doesnt sound fair without watching them, but still.

I saw wild wild west back in the day, It's one of the few movies I can remember the whole movie of from when I was younger. I just remember will fighting giant metal spiders, while all the songs were from his rapping cd.
