How much money a movie makes is no indicator of how good it is.

What is the worst billion dollar movie that you have watched?

For me, it is Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom 2018.

Of the ones I've seen (haven't seen Jurassic World FK or most of the Transformers movies), I was really underwhelmed by Titanic and Avatar.

I didn't see Titanic until years after it was in theaters and mainly saw it just to get all the pop culture references made about it. Aside from the spectacle and practical effects which were good, it was a paint-by-numbers forbidden love story which I'd seen a thousand times and done better on dozens of occasions. I did see Avatar in theaters and again, the visual effects were impressive (saw it in 2D since 3D gives me a headache). But again, the story was (ironically) recycled from other movies (IE: Dances With Wolves, Fern Gully).

I don't mind adapted stories of films with plots I've seen already. I just prefer finding new and interesting ways to tell a story.

Of all the Marvel superhero movies I've seen, IMO, it's a tie between The Amazing Spider-Man 2
and Spider-Man 3.

As unpopular of an opinion as this might be, I'd have to say that it's a tie between Iron Man 3 and Captain Marvel. For the longest time, I've felt like Iron Man 3 was the weakest entry in the MCU, but it seems like Captain Marvel is gunning for that spot pretty hard. I acknowledge that there's probably worse billion dollar earning movies out there like Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction, Minions, ect. I just never bothered to watch any of them.

I consider myself a movie buff, but haven't seen many of these. I guess it's due to not being a fan of Harry Potter, Hobbit, Fast and Furious, or Transformers. I also haven't seen the live-action Beauty of the Beast, Incredibles 2, or Finding Dory.

Of the rest, probably Alice in the Wonderland (so horrible) with Avatar and Iron Man 3 not too far behind.

My favorite would be Dark Knight. Honorable mentions to Titanic, the first and third Avengers, and Dark Knight Rises. I also like the Jurassic Park and Despicable Me/Minions movies.

Why are people mentioning movies that didn't gross $1 billion?

^Good Question.

Minions

Seriously why? That and Despicable Me 3 weren't THAT good. They were okay at best.

Crash, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture back in 2005 when everyone
expected Brokeback Mountain to be the first gay movie to win Best Picture.

If you want to watch Crash, do not bother because many people to this day say it is just a film about "everyone is a racist" and often viewed as a knockoff of the film Magnolia.

Of the ones I've seen it's a push between Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides, and Alice in Wonderland. Suspect if I bothered watching Transformers sequels those would be contenders.

Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice

Like many, I am surprised no one has mentioned this already in this thread.
