Although the category is Worst of 2004, there's not a specific catch-all category for what people think is the worst film they've seen in 2004.

I mean, there's still a couple of months to go, but now that we're almost into November, I'm sure we've all seen a few.

Since I rely on MetaCritic so much (free plug to the site), I've missed a number of bad ones. But unfortunately, I've still seen some.

Right now, I would say the two worst films I've seen this year are:

"The Ladykillers"
"Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"

(Dis)Honorable Mention:
"Saved"
"Collateral"
"The Bourne SUPREMACY" (sorry all)
"The Manchurian Candidate"

Hopefully, there won't be too many more I'll have to add to this list!

For me it would be Dodgeball, followed closely behind by Sky Captain.

wow...you picked on a couple of good movies. I think you mean Bourne Supremacy and that was a good movie. Collateral was average, as well as The Lady Killers. I will have to agree with you on saved.

I think dodgeball was pretty bad and could be the worst. I dont think sky captain is the worst. I would have to disagree with asc strongly about collateral, bourne supremacy, if that is what you meant and the manchurian candidate, all some films that i really enjoyed.

Yes, I meant Bourne SUPREMACY, and edited my remarks above, but of course wanted to document here that I was originally wrong, so people don't think you're crazy commenting on something.

I didn't see Dodgeball...sounds like I made the right decision.

Oh yeah...I forgot how much I disliked "Kill Bill, Volume 2". But not as much as I disliked "Sky Captain..." and "Ladykillers".

I certainly dislike a lot of films THIS year.

Is that a problem for you?

Whatever, the worst film I saw this year was Garfield, I can't believe I went to see it! What was I thinking? I even managed to drag 3 of my best friends to go and see it!! Maybe it was because I used to love Garfield as a kid...

asc, No, you just seem to not enjoy many movies. A few of them are ones I really enjoyed so to me, it seemed that you dislike a lot of films, at least a lot this year. I hate it when people take things so personally, no need to get offended.

lol!
Woah woah woah! Calm down KraftDeluxe !!!
asc85, now look what you've done! You've angered him!

Anyway, I agree Kraft, I thought Kill Bill 2 was really good but maybe the reason asc85 didn't like it is because it is too different from the first one and less...spectacular.
Kill Bill vol.1 was really cool, exciting, spectacular and fun and Vol.2 was all those things but toned way down, in Vol.2, the characters all seem much more human and less like cartoons!
Vol 2 was, arguably, not as good as the first one but it was still pretty fascinating and had some excellent scenes (Bride in coffin, Pai Mei training...)
And anyway, asc85 didn't say Vol. 2 was bad, he said he disliked it, there's a difference.

For the record, I disliked both Volume 1 AND Volume 2. For different reasons of course. And actually, if I had to pick which one I liked better, the "tall midget" would be Volume 2. I think it would have been quite easy to have made this one 2.5 hour film instead of 3.5 hours across two films. Now, if he wasn't "allowed" to release a 2.5 hour film...well that's another story.

And I happen to think that Pulp Fiction is one of the best films in the 90's. Sadly, I think Tarantino is a "one-hit wonder" who believes all the adulation he receives...but that's a topic on another board.

About kill bill 2. I thought kill bill was a much more entertaining movie, though kill bill 2 had its entertaining points but kill bill 2 was not just a bunch of action here and there, if it was it would've gotten a low score on metacritic, it got an 80. What in specific didnt you like about it asc, I can understand that you disliked it, not really but do you think it really was the worst film or 2004?

Hi know_it_all,

No, I don't think Volume 2 is the worst film of the year, but for me, it definitely would be in my Worst 10 of the year. Unfortunately, this year, for the first time in a long time, I've actually disliked more movies than I've actually liked. So far, the only 3 films I've REALLY liked have been "Eternal Sunshine..." "The Passion..." and "Maria, Full of Grace".

But why I disliked Volume 2 so much, is that I just found it incredibly talky and slow. And I thought it was very self-indulgent. Tarantino goes on and on with soliloquies about various mundane conditions, just to hear himself, I think.

Listen, I'm sure you know that both volumes polarized opinions...people either liked them or hated them. Boy, when I go and read the user ratings for each movie, it runs the gamut! I just happened to go on the side that I didn't like either film very much, with the important caveat (I think) that I loved Pulp Fiction. Which shows that I "get" Tarantino, or at least, one of his movies.

Yes I agree with you that Pulp Fiction is one of the best films of the 90s, and in my opinion, even one of the best films EVER, but the Kill Bill movies came pretty close to being equally as good.

I also agree that if combined together, they would make one amazing movie! He actually filmed it as one movie, but I think the producers made him release it as two.

I wont go into explaining why I loved these movies so much, because I could write 2000 words on that.

I apologize, asc, for getting angry before, but please don't take it personally. It was just an involuntary reaction for my love of Kill Bill.

Gee, this year is a hard one. There were so many different levels of feces in the theaters this year. Can I narrow it down to thirty?

Actually, I just watched Van Helsing and it comes in second, right behind The Butterfly Effect.

Welcome the site Excel. It was a good movie, you may not have agreed with it, but Moore did a good job at his movie, or propaganda piece, whichever you prefer to call it. I liked it, but then again I like Moore and am a Democrat. I will again repeat that the worst this year is White Chicks. It wasn't funny, AT ALL. (Just my opinion of course though)
