Yogi Bear: The Worst Movie Ever?
Pundit Press ^ | 12/11/2010 | Aurelius

Posted on 12/13/2010 11:30:20 AM PST by therightliveswithus

The 'worst movie ever' is a term often thrown around when terrible movies are released. The upcoming 3D film Yogi Bear takes its inspiration form a classic cartoon and apparently wrecks it. The acting seems staid and the jokes in the commercials are embarrassing. It could possibly be the worst feature film in history.

My personal favorite, of course, is Tommy Wiseau's masterpiece The Room. Yet at least The Room has some redeeming features, mainly the fact that it is so bad, it is good. For example, please enjoy this quick summary of the movie:

Or the Cubs any year?

Yogi Bear will make an enormous fortune, it’s the Holiday movie everyone needs to take their little kids to see.

I’m tempted to see it myself, didn’t any of you like Yogi Bear as kids?

There is no creativity in Hollywood anymore. They have resorted to making movies out of cartoons and old TV shows.

You are so right, creativity in Hollywood is dead.

I've been saying the same thing for the last fifteen years or so. Not just cartoons and old TV shows but comic strips and comic books too.

What's next? Old TV commercials?

“Yogi Bear” is a sure-fire classic!

Like most kids that grew up in the 1960’s, I loved the classic Yogi cartoons. I was hoping to introduce my 9-year old to Yogi with this movie. But now I'm having second thoughts. May be better to check Netflix for those old cartoons instead.

And as far as 3D - I am getting to hate it what the movie industry is doing with it. It adds nothing to most movies, and it gives the theater reason to charge you much more for the already expensive tickets.

What about a remake of Reefer Madness with maybe Quinton Tarrentino directing? My lady friend and I spent a perfectly good Sat evening watching Reefer Madness recently. It's fascinating in it's lunacy. But really, I think a short, 1 hr remake would be, fascinatingly lunatic also.

I seldom go to movies but I took my grand daughter to see Marmaduke a while ago only because she asked me too. It's hard to believe any movie could be worse than that one was.

Maybe Hollywood should just leave the old cartoons alone.

It couldn’t be worse than than Speilberg’s horrible awful “AI”. AI took itself seriously so it can never be a “so bad it’s good” flick. I doubt Yogi takes itself too seriously, so it can still get points for being camp and over the top. AI was just a mess and a never ending mess at that. Plus, when as accomplished a director as Speilberg makes a turkey on the level of AI there are additional “no excuse” badness points for that.

I skipped The Avengers.

Believe it or not, I liked "Hudson Hawk". Awful script, but Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello looked like they were really having fun doing it. Sort of a "Well, this is going to be a stinker, so we might as well have fun while we're here" sort of flick.

The "Swingin' on a Star" scene still makes me grin, just thinking about it.

who knows; may do the bargain matinee. If it’s good I’d buy the DVD; these reviews may stem some business but it could well do nicely at the box office despite negative reviews

Ah, another "HUDSON HAWK" fan ... I really liked that movie because I looked at it exactly as you described: everyone having fun with a rotten script. I particularly liked James Coburn playing a take-off on "Our Man Flint".

I watched it first as a kid and thought it was a stinker.
Then as I got older I learned to appreciate it for what it really was - so bad it was good.

Well we have the obligatory Plan 9 from Outer Space references. My brother opines that Manos: The Hands of Fate is the worst movie ever--and even the MST 3K guys agree.

I love that someone mentioned Megaforce. I have a story about that one.

When I was a plebe at West Point, Megaforce made its way there. I went to a Saturday afternoon matinee. The sound track was messed up--so that all you heard was garbled noise instead of the dialog or music. But I was so desperate not to have to go back to my room in the barracks (lacking any other diversion), that I stayed in the theater and fell asleep.

I call this pathetic. But there it was.

OK, here's my vote for the worst film of all time:

Matilda the Boxing Kangaroo (1978)

I dunno. The original is so awfully bad that it is "good." A Tarentino remake would be good enough that it might be ordinary, or even bad. I could see him incorporating a couple of twisted references in some larger movie, tho.

The Worst (Kids) Movie Ever though has to go to Astro Boy. Not because of the production value or animation, but because of it's Marxist political agenda, that they made no effort to try to hide. If you have it in your kids movie library, destroy it.
