Top 10 Most Cringeworthy Movies of All-Time

The Flop 10: Check out our Top 10 List of Movies So Bad, They're Nearly Impossible to Sit Through!

For today's list, we're going to be breaking down our in-house list of 10 of the most cringeworthy movies to ever hit both the big screen and small screen.

Keep in mind for this list, we're focusing on movies that exemplify bad acting, bad plots, cheesy effects, or are just outright dumb. These are movies that our team all agreed they either cut off early, or revisited later in life with complete disbelief at how bad they were.

But of course, sometimes there are movies that are purposefully bad, or terrible in their plot like Sharknado (I think, right?), FrankenFish, and low budget movies from Nollywood (that is a list for a different day).

Whether you agree or not, or if you have some input on your own cringeworthy movies, be sure to comment below or join in with us on social media.

TOP 10 CRINGEWORTHY MOVIES

10. Dragonball Evolution (2009)

Nothing quite ruins your inner child like seeing one of the 90's most popular mangas, Dragonball Z, turned into a live-action movie and missing every mark possible. For starters, not a lot of people even knew this movie was ever made, but once you see the characters, the plot, and the atrocious set designs, it's almost as if they didn't even try. Right around the time Marvel Studios was releasing Iron Man, The Hulk, and Thor, 20th Century Fox could have capitalized on making a really great hero movie that would have included some really good fight scenes that made the cartoon so popular. Instead, we got a white-washed Goku, and a Picollo that resembled the Hob Goblin from the Spiderman films. While we've never seen this movie, it goes without saying that we wouldn't even bother. Damn, Goku-son.

GUILTY OF: Poor Adaptation

9. Junior (1990)

Arnold Schwarzneggar's movie catalog is long! From Terminator to Mr. Freeze (wait for it), his roles have came in all kinds of ways. No matter what though, it has always kept me in the forefront as one of the best action-movie stars. But Junior might have been an attempt to soften his on-screen persona. First off, why does Arnie look like Richard Gere, and the premise of this movie remains strangely odd, especially for Arnold Schwarzneggar. Much how Dwayne Johnson is added to family film lineups, Junior was that for the former California governor, except, it was actually really hard to take this movie seriously. You begin to ask yourself "why" as the plot develops. Now, try saying "I think I'm pregnant" in your best Schwarzneggar impression.

GUILT OF: Poor Casting, Uninteresting Plot

8. Batman and Robin (1997)

While everyone has completely fallen in love with the 90s, I have to remind people that we had to endure a lot. We had to endure Arnold Schwarzenegger in Junior and 7 years later had to endure him as Mr. Freeze, delivering some of the worst and corniest freeze and cool puns while seeing George Clooney play Batman in a suit that purposely made room for his nipples. The movie is laid with big names in the cast including Uma Thurman (Poison Ivy, a sexy Poison Ivy one might add), Alicia Silverstone (Batgirl), Chris O'Donnell, and randomly Vivica A. Fox. Aside from Uma Thurman blowing poisonous kisses this movie has cringe all over it. Even to date, the "Gotham City" anthem by R. Kelly has its place in the list of wrongs in this movie.

GUILTY OF: Corny Dialogue, Powerhouse Cast with Bad Scripting

7. Big Momma's House 2 (2007)

Big Momma's House was a triple threat movie that combined some action, romance, and comedy together to bring Martin Lawrence a mixed audience, but Big Momma's House 2 was just something else. That the plot would go from Malcolm Turner going undercover to protect a woman and her child escaping her abusive felon ex-lover to going undercover to save the world from a global computer virus not only went to a whole different extreme, it started to gently dance on some old stereotypes of the mammie and there's a good chance no one even noticed it when the movie came out in 2007. All in all, no one asked for a Big Momma sequel and no one asked for beach-bound Hattie Mae Pierce. **Cringe**

GUILTY OF: Unnecessary Sequel, Out of Reach Plot

6. Suicide Squad (2016)

While we're on the topic of movies no one asked for, let's just get Suicide Squad out the way now. From an over-emphasized villain, to a complete unattaching depiction of The Joker, to even a random cameo by Batman, Suicide Squad takes us everywhere but where we need to go to fall in love with this group of anti-heroes. One of them dies and we never even knew why he was relevant. If Suicide Squad was a the DCEU's version of Rogue One, in that it is a side story that falls in chronologically, it missed so many marks. Most people reported seeing the movie multiple times and still have the WTF face throughout the movie. The ending is, at best, a joke, and reminds us that the DCEU should consider hanging it up.

GUILTY OF: Poor Adaptation, Poor Adaptation for Comic Book Storyline, Unnecessary Sequel*, Poor Character Development

5. Silent House (2012)

If your idea of a blockbuster hit is to watch Elizabeth Olsen run through a house using tracking shots in complete silence with no music in the background and no clue what's going on, this movie is for you. Thirty minutes into the movie, you're going to be asking yourself if you even remotely know where the conflict in this movie begins and you probably won't make it one minute beyond that. Six years later, we still don't know what this movie is about! See the trailer on your own.

GUILTY OF: Poor Plot Development, Misleading Trailer, Lacks Dialogue, Poor Character Development

4. Kazaam (1996)

We can't say Shaq O'Neal can't act. It wouldn't be accurate. His role in 1997's Steel was pretty OK, and his role in the upcoming Uncle Drew looks promising. But Kazaam? It's got to be a no from the very jump. You've got to see where things are going to start off wrong and when a movie poster reads: "It's a rappin genie-with-an-attitude...and he's ready for a slam dunkin' fun." It screams run the other way. Even the reviews were bland. They just said: "Fun!" Wow. Imagine that for Shaq's on-screen debut. **cringe**

GUILTY OF: Cheesy Dialogue, Cheesy Plot, Poor Acting

3. Dawn of the Justice League (2017)

Sequels are tough, both on franchises and fans alike. Dawn of the Justice League is that sequel that makes you just want to go back to the beginnings. Where Man of Steel hit everything on the head so perfectly, from action sequences, to character conflicts, and plot developments, Dawn of the Justice League followed Batman versus Superman with lukewarm water and stale characters. The movie displays a 15-minute version of Marvel Studios' "There was an idea" superhero medley that also continued to ask us, "Hey ya'll know this hero, right, we ain't gotta explain it" while introducing a villain that is far too ambitious for the franchise' 4th entry. Justice League is by far most cringeworthy because of its uncanny parallels to The Avengers franchise, but sticks out like USPA against Ralph Lauren. The trailer looks lit though.

Of course, this list isn't touching on the highly acclaimed Zach Snyder Cut, so before you got digging into me be mindful of that. We saw bits and pieces of what could have otherwise been a very epic movie for Warner Bros and DC, but even Snyder's 4-hour cut had a lot of nuance, and character builds that would likely have been impossible to pull off successfully.

GUILTY OF: Unnecessary sequel, Poor Adaptation of a Comic Book Storyline, Poor Character Development, Poor Plot, Overuse of CGI.

2. The Human Centipede 2 (2011)

Most people regretted seeing the first Human Centipede. It was vile, it was disgusting, and its plot really pulled on some of our greatest fears we never knew we had. The movie can thank its popularity to the "I saw it, so you have to see it, too" concept that now controls the internet. Human Centipede 2, though? No one asked for it. And there's absolutely nothing worst than a movie that no one asked for that goes down a rabbit whole of so many more things no one asked for. The concept is so far-fetched, and then you experience the gore porn aspects and if you didn't cancel your Netflix account while watching the first, I can guarantee you'll do so watching this extremely cringeworthy sequel.

GUILTY OF: Overly Gory, Poor Plot, Unnecessary Sequel, Poor Character Development, Far Reaching Plot

1. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

OK. We asked for this one and what we got from it was in fact annihilation. The Mortal Kombat sequel took everything we were willing to accept in its first installment (death of Gorro, Cano, death of Shang Tsung, and the subpar special effects) and told us to hold its beer. Annihilation opens up immediately introducing us to replacement cast members for roles we had literally fallen in love with. The end result is hating everything they tried to adapt from the video games including MK 2 characters like Motorro, Cindel, Nightwolf and Animality (literally no one asked for this...ever). They even introduced another Sub-Zero who definitely came in and was like, "Nah, bro, definitely my brother. Thanks for killing him." As far as cult followings and potential, this movie is pound-for-pound one of the most cringeworthy movies of all time. Great Value Raiden is at the top of the worst characters in this movie.
