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)

This would apply to a good majority of the articles here. Explain to me how pages for Fanta cake or Fanum tax benefit humanity. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 19:59, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Those articles are at least a description of something, this is just a curated list of opinions. HootyTheOwlTube (talk) 07:03, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Cited opinions, from official sources, backed up with facts. This is the essence of Wikipedia doktorb _words^deeds 11:11, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes I’m not arguing that these aren’t citing publish opinions but there isn’t an objective metric or list of them that qualifies a film for being included anywhere. HootyTheOwlTube (talk) 08:31, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

As you can see from the top of this page, there have been 11 deletion discussions dating back to 2003. All of them ended with strong votes for this to be kept. The study of "worst" films is objectively a notable topic.LM2000 (talk) 10:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

it shouldn't be considered notable if some of those people calling something "the worst ever made" call multiple movies "the worst ever made". That's not how "the worst" works and turns this into a list of tantrums. 72.47.31.51 (talk) 14:32, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

These films are widely considered the worst by both credible journalists, entertainment industry professionals, and casual viewers. A lot of these films are also the self-destructions and career and reputation killers for the actors, directors, and IPs involved such as Mike Myers (Love Guru), Jaws IP (Jaws: the Revenge), and Super Mario Bros. 1993 (Everyone regrets being in the film, the directors have been permanently blacklisted from the film industry, and this film made Nintendo VERY protective of their IPs). It is a notable study due to seeing how one irredeemably bad film can kill a star, a big brand name, or be banned entirely from making films. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 17:17, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Joker 2?

Should we include Joker 2? HiGuys69420 (talk) 23:26, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Can you find any sources calling it the "worst" movie? It has bad reviews but I don't think anyone considers it to be one of the worst movies ever, or even the worst superhero movie. To be honest it's not even the worst movie with the Joker in it. Di (they-them) (talk) 23:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

This is too recent of a film to be considered one of the worst. It simply appears to be just bad or mediocre similar to the new Jurassic Park and Ghostbusters films, but nowhere near films on this list such as The Last Airbender and The Room or some of the 2024 contenders like The Crow, Borderlands, or Madame Webb. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 01:02, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

I presume you mean Joker: Folie à Deux. I can't find any reviews calling it the worst of all time. The title of this Wired article posits that it may be "the worst comic book movie adaptation of all time", but what follows is not actually a review at all; it's a commentary on the film's box office returns and cultural impact. In other words, the title is misleading clickbait. I will also point out that the Tomatometer for Joker sits at 33% while the Tomatometer for Madame Web sits at 11% and The Crow at 24%. Have I mentioned how interesting this year has been in terms of bad movies? Carguychris (talk) 23:00, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

The 2020s have been an interesting decade for bad and mediocre movies in general. We have forgettable and soulless cash grabs made from franchises begging to die, novelty films, sequels and remakes that nobody asked for, superhero slop, adaptations that are disrespectful to the source material, etc. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 01:24, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Don't forget about the TV show that broke Star Wars canon and is only praised for its fight scenes and Manny Jacinto's performance. HiGuys69420 (talk) 04:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Megamind 2?

What about Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate? Ss0jse (talk) 15:44, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

While it is terrible, the reviews on its page do not cite it as "worst ever" or "worst animated movie of all time" unlike some of the other 2024 entries like Borderlands or Madame Webb. It is just bad/mediocre (albeit on the FAR more extreme end) similar to the new Jurassic Parks, Home Alones, Ghostbusters, and Indiana Jones, not amongst the worst ever made like Super Mario Bros. 1993 or Troll 2. Maybe the Razzies might nominate it for worst sequel or animated film, but it has "competition" this year such as the aforementioned Borderlands and Madame Webb. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 17:07, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

You will need a reliable source that calls it one of the worst films of all time. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:07, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Kárate a Muerte en Torremolinos (2003)

This is a Spanish-horror film about catholic surfers learning karate to fight zombie ninjas in Torremolinos. This is the Spanish equivalent of Troll 2 due to its poor acting, vulgar and lowbrow content, cheap practical effects, and plot. It is widely considered to be one of the "best" so bad it's good films amongst Spanish speakers similar to how Troll 2 is seen as one of the "best" amongst English speaking audiences, and it won and was nominated for multiple anti-awards at the 2003 Godoys, the Spanish equivalent to the Razzies. Can it be included on the list for the same reasons as Troll 2 in addition to its Godoy awards and nominations, or is it not notable enough due to not having an English Wikipedia page?

From the top of the talk page

• Ensure that it is widely considered one of the worst films by a broad spectrum of both casual and professional film critics. There are hundreds of "bad" or even "crappy" films, this page is for the worst.
• Cite at least one of those sources (Preferably the most reliable one(s)) that explicitly calls it "one of the worst films ever"
