Ayn Rand was the author of one of the world’s most popular books, “Atlas Shrugged.” The book allegedly sold as many copies as the bible and remains one of the most successful books of all time in the United States. A three-part film series was made based on the book, mostly by conservative actors who wanted to voice support and promote her ideology.
The first and second parts were relatively well-received but suffered from a constantly changing cast and varying levels of acting and editing. The third part, however, was an absolute disaster and was universally panned as one of the worst films of all time. It received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was nominated for several awards at the 35th Golden Raspberry Awards.
Gotti
Some of the best and most iconic films of all time have been crime drama films that center around a mob family. You have movies like "The Godfather," "Goodfellas," and the recent "The Irishman." John Travolta also tried his luck in playing the notorious Italian-American criminal, John Gotti. "Gotti was a commercial failure and ended up losing a few million dollars."
It's one of the only films to ever get a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. There was a strong disparity initially between critic reviews and user reviews, with regular viewers giving the film an 80% rating. It's widely speculated that this was the doing of thousands of Scientologists, who are fans and fellow members of the Church of Scientology with John Travolta.
The Layover
Young and hormonal guys were extremely excited when they heard that the beautiful Alexandra Daddario and American model, Kate Upton, were joining forces to play in a 2017 comedy called "The Layover." The film was severely denigrated by critics and the movie received a measly 18% rating from 17 critics.
The film was mostly criticizing the film for being about two women fighting over a guy. Needless to say, feminists and film journalists did not like this movie at all. It seems that regular moviegoers also hated the film to a large extent, as they gave it a sad 22% rating based on almost 1,500 user reviews.
Dark Tide
Halle Berry has had mixed success over the years when it comes to her acting. However, some of her films ended up being hopelessly panned by critics and viewers alike. Despite her awful record, the actress usually manages to grab at least a moderate amount of commercial success in most of her projects.
2012's action thriller, "Dark Tide," was perhaps the first example of the actress's charm beginning to quickly run out. "Dark Tide" made a sad $432,000 during its run at the box office, and received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 20 critic reviews and was ironically summarized as a "shallow" film that's best skipped by audiences.
Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star
One of the truly most awful comedy films ever made is, without a doubt, "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star." The film was directed by Tom Brady, who is responsible for various films starring popular comedy actor Rob Schneider. The film received a 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was viscerally hated by most critics and moviegoers.
The film has a 24% rating among the site's users, based on almost 13,000 user reviews. It's described by many critics as one of the most boring, awkward, and humorless comedy films ever made. The main actor defended the movie, claiming that he thinks journalists and film critics are just "negative morons" and attributed that as the reason the film received such low ratings.
