WHAT IS THIS WIKI ABOUT?

Throughout the history of cinema, there have been movies that made you sigh, movies that made you cringe, movies that made you laugh at just how bad they are, and even movies that made you go "art is dead." This wiki was made to let movie aficionados know about some of the worst movies ever made and even some of the worst moments in film history.

North - One of the most racist movies of all time that was heavily criticized by the late Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert

The Room - The most notable example of a film inciting fun and entertainment for how bad it is

The Magic Riddle - An Australian animated film riddled with many nonsensical scenes, as well as several animation errors, inappropriate scenes for a children's film and annoying and idiotic characters

Hellboy (2019) - An atrocious reboot of the first Hellboy film that is filled with graphic violence far too extreme even for a film with an R-rating, a rather poor grasp of the source material and loads of unnecessary swearing

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - The ninth and final installment in the series' Skywalker saga that is a textbook example of how not to end a once-beloved franchise

Barney's Great Adventure - A film based on Barney & Friends suffering from a lot of filler and a mediocre plot

Manos: The Hands of Fate - A film that features obviously dubbed voices, a long and boring intro, and a pointless subplot

Instant Family - A family film that is not only filled with contrived "emotional" moments and unlikable characters but also fails to capture foster parenting in a realistic way

Ice Age: Collision Course - The fourth sequel to the original 2002 film that not only suffers from a near-lack of originality as well as an over-the-top animation style that feels too jarring for an Ice Age film but also butchers comic relief Scrat as a character, even upping his antics to such an absurd degree it loses its comedic edge

Ghostbusters (2016) - This controversial reboot film that was a perversion of the beloved franchise and was little more than feminist propaganda.

Mulan (2020) - A live-action remake of the 1998 traditionally-animated classic of the same name which has a questionable grasp of Chinese folklore, renders its titular character overpowered from the start and thus harder to relate to and also lacks specific story elements from the original, resulting in viewers "needing" to watch the original to understand what is going on

Cuties - A 2020 French movie that, in one of the biggest examples of hypocrisy, claims to have an anti-pedophilic message, when it actually fully participates in pedophilia by showing many scantily-clad minors throughout the film, and ruined the reputation of worldwide distributor Netflix

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - The sequel to Jurassic World that suffers from bland villains with cheap motivations, poor handling of the overall message of the movie, and a terrible and nonsensical ending

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie - A film based on a series of children's trading cards that became one of the most unfunny and disgusting comedies of all time

RULES AND GUIDELINES

When creating articles on this wiki, stick to films that are actually bad, regardless of whether they have a positive or negative reception from critics and audiences.
Web reviewers will be considered if they meet the requirements of the wiki; for more detailed rules about accepted web reviewers, read the specific article here.
There are two major headings required to use for each article, excluding those with the "Horrible Moments in Cinematic History" category: "Plot" and "Why It/He/She Sucks" ("Now", if they used to rock); the latter can be titled as the "Bad Qualities" section for any articles with the "Average films" category. The latter must contain valid and detailed reasons; do your best to avoid generic pointers such as "bad acting/animation/soundtrack/etc.," or other pointers like "this film spawned the X meme(s)."
- "Redeeming Qualities" (or "Good Qualities") is optional; it can only be used if the film discussed in the article has positives.
- Custom headings are forbidden due to the potential of users inserting coarse language on the headings, as well as being unnecessary. Coloring the titles of films are forbidden, as articles must be kept simple; not to mention they show up incorrectly on certain devices. If the title officially contains an ampersand instead of the word "and," it must be used.
Do not create new categories; if you think a new category is needed, ask the moderators and they would make it for you if your suggestion proves to be useful. Creating excessive spam categories will possibly result in a ban.
Do not create an article about unofficial web films (i.e. Go!Animate: The Movie) or even official films that have not been released yet; no exceptions.
Reviews and quotes are optional; however, if you plan to insert any reviews or quotes made by critics or YouTubers, it is also okay to take reviews and quotes from other sources. However, plagiarism is not acceptable for anything else, including pasting in plot summaries from articles on, say, Wikipedia; if your article is suspected of plagiarism, it will be removed and you will be blocked for a day the first time you break this rule.
- Videos from CinemaSins are banned from the Awful Movies Wiki due to being unreliable and full of nitpicks; repeatedly breaking this rule without warning will increase the duration of further blocks. On that topic, here is a list of rules regarding the uploading of videos from YouTube.
Anything related to memes are allowed, but please put them in the "Trivia" section, if needed.
Either rude or immature behavior towards others will not be tolerated; if you act rude or immature towards another user, expect a permanent ban.
- Similarly, do not create any blog posts that are hit pieces about users you dislike.
Do not create a page about trilogies, duologies, franchises, etc.; not only is making an article about a single film simpler, but each film in any specific series is different from another, even if they are part of the same set. Making an article about an entire, say, trilogy does not really make a lot of sense if you want to explain why each one of them sucks.
"Not screened for critics," "This is a cash grab," "At least it is better than...", "No one wanted this film...", "This spawned the X meme(s)," and "Wasted the talents of..." reasons, as well as terms such "Let that sink in..." are not allowed due to not affecting the quality of the actual film.
Do not close threads so soon without waiting for someone else to give their two cents.
Please refrain from using profanity in the articles, aside from in quotes from YouTubers and critics; using profanity in the comment section of any article as well as threads, however, is allowed as long as it is not used against other users without a good reason to do so. Adding YouTube videos with profanity in the title is allowed, but will be controlled if necessary.
Be as formal as possible whenever editing.
Removing information or messing with the articles without giving a good reason is considered vandalism and can result in a permanent ban.
Reasons for the removal of specific comments are them consisting of either malicious propaganda, harassment of others, or pornography; the comment would also be removed if it does not make any sense.
If you plan on creating a sandbox, please do not use it outside of creating approved pages or proposed edits to protected pages. If you wish to make unofficial pages, it is recommended to use a blog post for that; using blog posts as sandboxes to get around this rule is not allowed.
- Categories are forbidden from being used in sandboxes.
Do not downvote unpopular opinions in the comments unless there is a good reason to do so.
Do not blame politics for specific bad films being nominated for awards over good ones; this would cause massive amounts of drama.
Do not suggest critics who like any of the movies with articles on the Awful Movies Wiki are being "bribed" unless there is any evidence.
On that topic, reliable sources must be cited for specific facts, no exceptions; this means you cannot just insert in a fact about, say, something that has happened during the production of any specific movie without any evidence whatsoever.
No harmful and insulting content directed to the wikis and to their users posted off-site will be tolerated; in addition, no excuses like "it's a joke", "it is not to be taken seriously" will be valid. Regarding how old the offending content is, it will be up to the administration staff to decide but know that generally the harmfulness of verifiable malicious content doesn't expire after a certain period of time.
If you're an admin, it is you who must make the users respect your decisions and the rules, not the other way around. Please keep your cool without fearing backlash.
Breaking any of the aforementioned rules will result in one warning; if you persevere you will face a ban for a temporary period of time. The duration of the ban will depend on the gravity of your misbehavior unless already specified in the rule.
