What movie premise is the worst you ever saw?
ffolkes

Terrorists seize an oil rig and production platform in the North Sea. The British government doesn't have any elite troops--I guess the SAS were on holiday--to hit the terrorists so they turn to a private commando team. The team is led by Rufus Excalibur ffolkes (Roger Moore) who is a wealthy eccentric and misogynist. Oh, and they are armed only with knives and spear guns.

If it had not been done straight, it almost could have been satire out of Austin Powers.

3. Lately? There are many that I won't even consider seeing, but I would say
Cowboys and Aliens. Just by the title my first instincts said, don't go.

6. Love means never having to say you're sorry?
Could not make it through the entire thing.

It was the first that came to mind anyway.

his job to go rescue his kids (which is too many of them)

8. Atlas Shrugged. Ok, I confess, I didn't actually go see the movie, but it was made, and
having read the book half a dozen times in my wayward youth I figure that counts.

15. Jaws: The Revenge
A super smart shark decides to take revenge on a human family, presumably for killing several of its species years before, and somehow forms a psychic connection with them so it can follow them all over the globe.

I'm sure this movie sounded like a great idea at some point in time, the thing I can't understand is how.
