Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
[edit]- Anton Bidel of Sight & Sound called it "an exhausting distillation of everything that can possibly go wrong with a blockbuster".[1]
- Sarah Knight Adamson of Sarah's Backstage Pass said "No one has the energy or desire to care after suffering through two and half hours of a film that is nothing short of a chaotic mess".[2]
- Yohana Desta of Vanity Fair called it "a million god-awful movies crammed into one" and went on to explain that "it succeeds only in suturing together the worst aspects of each genre".[3]
- Julian Lytle of idobi Radio called it "one of the worst movies I've ever seen in a very long time"; at the end of his review he summarised "This movie is the complete worst".[4]
- Dana Schwartz of Marie Clarie said "There never has been a been a worse movie than Transformers: The Last Knight" and went on to say "I spent real, American money to see the worst movie I've ever experienced my entire life".[5]
- Periodismo.com placed on their list of "The Worst Movies of All Time" [6]
Does anyone think these are enough to add Transformers: The Last Knight onto the list? 31.205.6.244 (talk) 07:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- It's bad and yes it's expensive trash but it's not the worst ever. Your first two examples are only saying it is very very bad. Some of your other examples are suitably strongly worded, but sources such as idobi Radio or Periodismo.com seem pretty marginal to me. In a year that also saw The Emoji Movie (and Baywatch (film)) it is difficult to argue that T:TLK was the worst of the year, let alone among the worst films ever made. -- 109.77.201.136 (talk) 22:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Emoji Movie 2017
[edit]do I need to say more 108.210.109.207 (talk) 14:27, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- believe it or not, you actually do. in this case, that would be providing sources that you think could be used here. thankfully, the emoji movie's article has...a small handful of them. just be mindful of the warnings provided when editing, and see if the sources actually refer to this movie-shaped audiovisual thing as "(one of) the worst of all time". sources 6 and 7 seem to be a good start to checking cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]I believe this wiki page has nothing useful to give to humanity. I request this to be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:A7D5:5900:8814:773B:2268:F0D (talk) 06:06, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Advance preparation: The Crow (2024)
[edit]Rather than use the main article and get reverted, let's try this way around: talk page and use the community to work together. Particularly with this article as advance preparation:
Quote: "The Crow 2.0 is a total, head-in-hands disaster, incoherently plotted and sloppily made, destined to join the annals of the very worst and most pointless remakes ever made."

Keep and eye on this one. We may have another addition. doktorb wordsdeeds 15:49, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure about this one. "[Worst] and most pointless remake" doesn't quite translate to "worst ever" without those qualifiers. 5-minute browse of RT suggests that the "worst of..." statements are all heavily qualified, and the reviews are not uniformly negative. For what it's worth, I looked into adding Madame Web a couple of weeks ago, and it's in the same boat. "Worst recent Marvel movie" and suchlike doesn't quite equal "worst ever." Carguychris (talk) 17:23, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I appreciate that. I'll see if other reviews build a better picture but if not, nothing lost from trying eh doktorb wordsdeeds 06:17, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's all good, usually I would wait for a year afterwards to test the waters before doing anything, for example when I brought up and eventually added Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey on here, I waited til it at least won Worst Picture at The Razzies and then searched my sources before throwing it on for discussion. That being said, The Crow is worse than Madame Web in my humble opinion though not the worst comic book movie I've seen, that goes to 2015's Fantastic Four.- Dragonsblood23 — Preceding undated comment added 06:01, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- I support waiting at least a year, as legitimate "worst ever" contenders should have a WP:LASTING effect that goes beyond the typical 1-3 month celebrity gossip news cycle. And before declaring anything to be the worst superhero movie ever, Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam, Catwoman, and the 1990 Captain America are required viewing (the latter is on my personal list even though it's not listed in the article). I'll have to check out Fantastic Four to see how it compares. Carguychris (talk) 13:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- For the record, three different Fantastic Fours have been removed from this list previously.
- I do not really care how long a film has been out as long as the sources supports inclusion though. Razzies are nice, but they are (usually) an annual award so we should no put that much stock in them. While they crown the worst film of the year, we're looking for the worst of all time.LM2000 (talk) 18:01, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
