I'm not saying the worst, otherwise I would need to include the star wars sequels or transformers movies... Just some really dumb movie that somehow got praised.
For me has to be Ready Player One. That movie message is so "uhuh" obvious that is stupid, the whole nerd that saves the world in a thing that otherwise would be useless to know in real life... The so over the top evil gaming corporation. The whole 80s and 90s movies and games references get old after half an hour... And it's so pandering towards the geeks and nerds, they really want the viewer feeling really cool for knowing that is the Shining hallway, or that is a Monty python reference... Or look a GUNDAM! YOU'RE SO COOL FOR COLLECTING THOSE GUN PLA! Look we have also overwatch and halo in the background! You're so cool modern gamer!
Also the obviously attractive "nerd" hacker girl that thinks she's ugly and deformed for having a small hard to see red tint in one side of her pretty face... Cmon man. In no universe anyone would think that actress is ugly.
And the message at the end is so hilarious: Look man, you're cool for getting these references and being a real gamer is cool, but go outside more!
Is like the creators have no self awareness.

Mad Max Fury Road. I honestly don't understand how people like it. The storyline is paper thin to the point of being almost missing. I guess the steampunk motif is good if you're into that, but the rest of the movie was just trash.
Sometimes you just want to switch your brain off for a couple hours and watch things go BOOM.
It's something I can totally get behind, although I understand it's not something everyone enjoysMad Max in general is bloody stupid
I give the old ones a pass because they were made outside of Hollywood, on tiny budgets, with relatively unknown actors. The new ones cost millions and were full of big names throughout the whole production.
The obviously fast forwarded fight scenes broke this movie for me. I don't even remember the plot because every time there was anything happening on the screen the physics of everything would change.
