What was the worst live action disney movie?

[Mollyzkoubou]

Strange, I heard the Chris Columbus HP movies were pretty much spot on.

As for Hannah Montana? Her only claim to fame besides doing a show for Disney is her father's that one-hit wonder who did the Achy Breaky.

[drfsupercenter]

I wasn't talking the first two. Order of the Phoenix was so horribly off, there's about a 2-page long list on Wikipedia listing the stuff that the movie left out (now of course, it was the longest HP book and stuff needs to be left out... but their choice as to WHAT was kinda bad)

[Mollyzkoubou]

I guess they should've kept the old crew then. :/ Still, it could be worse. The old "Willy Wonka" movie came across to me as a travesty having read "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and this was 20 years ago that I had seen it. Stupid Warner Bros. >_<

Why you didn't liked At World's End?.
Well,I liked At World's End but I think that Dead Man's Chest was better.
Hanna Montana sucks thought if haven't seen any episode of her series.
I"m sure that Beverly Hills Chihuahua will be the worst one,no wait,it will be the worse movie ever created.

I'm surprised nobody said The Black Hole

Because even though The Black Hole is both awesome and boring at the same time, it's still nowhere near worst Disney movie ever made.

the Hanna Montana movie (never seen it, but I personally despise her with a passion and therefore anything she's in sucks)

Hanna Montana sucks thought if haven't seen any episode of her series.

Hey now, don't knock it until you see it! Though, of course, you're both right in that her show and movie sucks. But still, no matter how bad and how stupid "Hannah Montana" is to most people, there is still some appeal to be found in it (mainly in supporting players Emily Osment and Mitchell Musso). I personally use it for cheap laughs.

Anyways, I still go by my old post here. The Boatniks is possibly the worst Disney movie ever made. At least some of the other ones mentioned (like Hannah Montana) has *some* appeal to people, but The Boatniks stands out as just a huge waste of time and money with no semblance of a believable plot (then again, Bedknobs and Broomsticks doesn't have a believable plot, but we're supposed to believe it's unbelievable.)

Boatniks sucks and will continue to suck long after movies like Beverly Hills Chihuahua and DTV's like Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 are buried and forgotten.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen was a terrible film...it is not just because of Lindsay Lohan, but the way her character was written. I can not believe that the people who made this movie actually expect us to sympathize with the main character. She does NOTHING in the film worth sympathizing over! If you see it you would understand.

102 Dalmations surprisingly lacks alot of dalmation. There's more focus on dogs of other breeds and a parrot but less on dalmations themselves.

The Princess Diaries - I have never read the book but I doubt it was as horribly cliche as the movie was. The sequel was less cliche but the fact that it is a sequel that is missing or lacking certain characters weakens it a bit.

The Rookie - a sports movie that drags on and on and on and on and on and on, I know that should be said for every sports movie that Disney releases annually but this film seriously slows the human life down by a lot for three hrs


Yeah they really screwed the Pirates franchise over. Third movie screamed we painted ourselves into a corner. Felt like they needed a way to get out of this mess and dump Will and Elizabeth's storyline in a vey unnconventional way. I love Jack Sparrow and all but I was hoping for a more complete story in the end for all the characters instead of just killing them off left and right...otherwise DONT CALL IT A TRILOGY IF YOURE NOT GOING TO COMPLETE IT!

Enchanted: Poor acting, weak story line, lame jokes.

JUST KIDDING!

[drfsupercenter]

Why you didn't liked At World's End?.

Because it had a stupid plot... and is basically Jack Sparrow featuring himself.
If you watch Ask A Ninja's video-podcast review of Pirates 3, you'll know what I'm talking about. A quote from it, "It's like they made a bunch of random plotlines, and then stuck them all in a blender, shot them out of a cannon and acted it out that way"

It wasn't horrible, just the worst of the 3 and I personally think it killed off the franchise.

My sisters like Enchanted... I'm kinda tempted to see it now. (We have the DVD, I just have a list about a mile long of other movies I wanna watch first)

Now, I heard a lot of the direct-to-video sequels sucked... I haven't seen any (except theatrical sequels like The Rescuers Down Under). The exact one probably varies by person but I'm sure nobody likes them all

I see your point,he's my favorite character (With Davy Jones) but all those multiple Jack/Jack losing his mind scenes were annyoing.
And yeah,the plot feels tired in parts like Will betray them and more scenes like that.
Dead Man's Chest was better.
You should really see Enchanted It's one of my most favorite Disney movie.

While I still enjoyed "At world's end" I have to agree its the weakest of the Pirates trilogy.

In my opinion, the film tried to follow too many plots, and many of them were overly convoluted and hard to understand your first time seeing the film. The sub plot between Calypso and Davey should have been fleshed out more. That one scene was wonderful and showed that Davy had some real heart...no pun intended.

The stuff about the Kraken, the pirate lords, the multiple Jacks etc. was confusing as all hell, and should have either been trimmed down or cut altogether.

Finally, it suffers the same problem The Matrix Revolutions experienced; too much of a change between films.

Dead Man's Chest was very action and humor focused. There was story, but it took a backseat to elaborate fighting sequences and over the top humor. At World's End, on the other hand, focused a bit too much on closing the storyline, and when its confusing you lose interest rather quickly.

But despite that, I thought AWE was a great film with many awesome scenes. Barbossa ROCKED! The Davey/Calypso story was touching, the scenes with the multiple Jacks was funny if surreal, the pirate lords were awesome and the final battle scene was worth the price of admission.

I wouldn't label it the WORST live action movie nor the worst in the Pirates line. Weak? Yes. Problematic? Yes. But really bad? No.

And for those who label decent movies as the worse ever, I know its all opinion and subjective, but really. If you think Enchanted is the worst movie ever you REALLY do some research on bad filmmaking.

One thing is disliking a film, the other labeling it as the worst ever. Only a few can have such label so be careful how you throw it around.

[drfsupercenter]

I didn't say it was the worst ever, I just said it was one of my least favorites. Now of course, there's no Disney film I absolutely hate so that's not saying much.

I liked At World's End, but I'd only give it like a 5/10. First movie would be 9/10 and second would be something like 7.5/10. At least in my opinion. Basically, yeah. They tried to follow too many plots and there were a bunch of stupid, pointless scenes that could have not been there. And the ending was a bit weird... I won't spoil it for anyone but I was really mad when I saw that (kinda like a certain character's death in Star Wars episode III, that I just couldn't stand, and even to this day, like to fast-forward when watching it)

And I will see Enchanted eventually... I still have to see the first Narnia since I forgot all the stuff that happened and thus I was confused at some parts in Prince Caspian

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is one of the few Disney movies that I have yet to make it through. Although I only tried just the once...my brain still hurts just thinking about it...ow

Enchanted: Poor acting, weak story line, lame jokes.

JUST KIDDING!

I have to agree with you and the follow quote fromrithlessreviews.com:

"Enchanted, a fantasy of the old school with modern sensibilities that still, despite nods to the irony-soaked pop culture, cannot escape the clutches of hysterical sexism. Above all, the film yields to the triumph of romance, an insidious notion in its own right, and one made worse by the belief that men and women are ill-suited for each other unless overwhelmed by a desire to act like utter buffoons. Jobs, education, dignified conversation -- anathema, all. We must dance!"

[DL-Craze]

You guys didnt say one of the most forgotten Disney comedies of all time,MEET THE DEEDLES, thats movie was just terrible, it featured a then unknown Paul Walker and also had Dennis Hopper as the villain, yeah i know by just explaining it, it already sounds terrible.

[carolinakid]

Worst live action that I've see:
The Devil & Max Devlin...and I LOVE Julie Budd! I'd endure it again just to hear her sing!


One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing...I was a kid who adored everything Disney when this came out , and I found it almost EXCRUTIATING to sit through! And I saw it more times than I wanted to because Disney added CINDERELLA to the bill to beef up the box office and I adore that film. I probably gained weight that week because all there was to do was visit the concession stand and chow down while awaiting Cinderella's turn on the big screen!

So those are the worst Disney live actions I've seen; I'm sure there are worse from reading your posts, but fortunately I've been spared!

I just watched Enchanted for the first time and I must admit that I did not appreciate it as much as I thought I would! It wasn't original and I didn't really like the story line and the acting... I felt like the story was rushed all through the movie.

I wouldn't say it's the worst live-action movie (I still believe it's HSM!) but it's not a good one!

I will give it a chance and watch it another time in a couple of months and then in a year or two and we'll see if I change my mind! I hope so!

The worst live-action Disney film is THe Sign of Zorro-It was just the TV series spiced together! Next, Davy Crockett films- TV on the big screen!

I wouldn't consider those to really be "worst" movies, just conveniently-edited ones. And they were rather good episodes in the first place, so having it in theatres was a great way for the audience to either rediscover it or watch it for the first time (if they missed the original airing). IIRC, the box-office figures for the Davy Crockett movies were quite good and showed the audience was willing to pay to rewatch (or watch for the first time) something they had seen (or missed) on television.

Also, it's interesting to note that "Johnny Tremain" was originally made to air on TV (as a two part serial), but Disney realized it was good enough for theatres, so it premiered in theatres first in 1957 before airing on "Disneyland" in 1958.

So much for an opinion!

I wasn't knocking your opinion, I was simply disagreeing with it and stating mine. Do I say anything along the lines of "you're wrong, they're not the worst, they're just conveniently-edited'? No.
