Well, this is some news to get on the same day you land an Oscar nomination: George Clooney’s ill-fated 1997 comic book adventure Batman & Robin has been voted the worst movie of all time.
Ouch. I’m not suggesting that Batman & Robin was epic cinema or anything, but is it really the worst movie ever made? For me, nothing beats Jason X or Mac & Me — the 1988 E.T. rip-off that featured the big screen debut of Ronald McDonald. What are some of your most cringeworthy movies?
Empire Magazine released the results of its poll for the world’s biggest box office stinkers just hours before Tuesday’s Oscar nominations, during which Clooney earned a Best Actor nod for his role in recession-era drama Up in the Air.
Batman & Robin, which featured Chris O’Donnell and Alicia Silverstone, cost $140 billion to make and was blamed for nearly killing off the Batman film franchise.
