20 Terrible Movies That Cost Way Too Much Money to Make

When you think about bad movies, a lot of what we experience as a lack of quality is basically a lack of money. Actors who can recite lines like a human, let alone play a character with inner conflict and nuance, are expensive, and so are competent directors and literate screenwriters. Don’t even ask about special effects beyond cleverly-hoisted bedsheets. Sure, there are good low-budget movies out there, but that’s usually because an unknown genius took an insane personal gamble, and a lot of people mistakenly think they’re unknown geniuses.

So when a blockbuster also turns out to be a butt-buster, it’s all the more offensive. For hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, filmmakers have no excuse to drop a turd on an unsuspecting populace. And yet, when user Civil_Cockroach_726 asked r/AskReddit, “What is the worst high-budget movie of all time?” Reddit had no problem remembering the cinematic experiences that left them tallying up all the better things that money could have been spent on.
