The Ewoks Adventures were an abomination.
Misson to Mars lame
Ultraviolet perfect example of style over substance.
Aeon Flux another lame script.
Godzilla (1998)
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn it starred a young Kelly Preston, but lacked any other good qualities. It majorly ripped off many Star Wars elements. It was also featured in 3-D.
Spider-Man 3 Horrible dancing sequence, the multilation of the characterization of Spidey's most deadly nemesis, the turn of Harry Ozbourne, and poor chemistry between the characters.
Superman: Quest for Peace
Masters of the Universe
Conan: The Destroyer
Reign of Fire:
Wing Commander didn't have to see it to know it sucks.

I liked Reign of Fire. I thought the idea of a post-apocolyptic fantasy movie pretty original.

Plotwise its a generic sci-fi action flick, but it does have somre pretty good starfighter combat.

I thought Wing Commander had it moments, I don't even think Masters of the Universe was that bad. But I have to agree Ultra Violent was pretty bad, same with Mission to Mars and its contemparary Red Planet.
As for Independence Day I seem to recall that the military tried using nuclear weapons against the alien ships with the shields still up and it was a failure.

With the number of movies starring Christopher Lambert that have made it into this thread, I think he should be dubbed "Worst Moment Maker in TV & Movie Fantasy History."

Overall, I liked Mission to Mars. The only thing I didn't like was the Martian at the end. When I first saw the face, my thought was "cool, the Face was built be the Grays." The alien at the end, however, looked nothing like the Grays and I thought that was kind of dissappointing.

MISSION TO MARS???
Oh come on...it took a chance on being as close to a pure sci-fi film as we've seen in 30 years!
Great Cast...sound look and feel...effects that weren't overdone...no homicidal robo-dogs (Red Planet) 
Granted, I'm not rushing out to buy it and have it on the shelf...but I wouldn't be ashamed to sit it next to the OT or Gattaca on the shelf.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen it for sale, now that I think about it, but dispite my issues with the end of the movie and only one aspect at that, its a pretty good movie. You can tell that they did some homework on the technical side.

Yes. He did and I can't say that I blame him. I've seen the concept art that Ralph McQuarrie did for Battlestar. Some of it could easily be rejected Star Wars art, particularly the Colonial Vipers and the Cylons.

Well, he could also have gone after Space Academy and Jason of Starcommand.
As it turns out though, the designs from that look similar because the show hired model makers who had just finished working on StarWars, and needed a new project to work on.
Bad as the stories are (and ouch, are they painful), the models are cool and some of the costumes aren't bad.

"We're Cylons. We have been, all this time."
Y'all know what I'm talking about  Makes pretty much 0% sense to me, given some of the characters' backstories. Not only that, but I thought the scene was badly-written, with badly-delivered lines, like the one above. So unless the show pulls out admirably, I proclaim that BSG has
Jumped. The. Shark.

Oh, I think I've found one most people have forgotten (if they ever knew it existed): the Original X-men movie. It was a Fox network 8-o'clock movie that aired arround 95 or 96. Characters were closer looks to the comics, but the story was a lot worse. Needless the say, the FX were... what you'd expect from a TV movie. Only characters in it I remember were Jubilee and Emma Frost. There was some kid with stretchy powers, but that's about it.
Another piece of useless trivia: the original BSG writers were quickly told that they couldn't kill cylons anymore for budget reasons. The armor was too expensive! How's that for lame? Also, the suits were so darn hard to see out from that the actors had numerous problems. Love to see a blooper real from that show!
Explains why so many of the episodes were so darn stupid though. That combined with the fact that the episodes were being written litterally as they were being filmed, and the actors got scripts on their way to the shooting, or sometimes after the scene was already shot.

 That was Generation X not X-men.  It was based on the spinoff comic book series of the same name, meant to be a second New Mutants type series. And yes it was pretty unimpressive. The made for TV movie featured Emma Frost and her teaching counterpart Sean Cassidy (Banshee) leading a band of misfit teenaged mutants including a non-asian Jubilee, Monet St. Croix (M), Angelo Espinosa (Skin), Mondo and Buff & Refrax, two characters created for the movie taking over for Husk and Chamber. It was apparently intended to be a pilot for an ongoing series but for obvious reasons never got past the poorly created movie. For the record this is about on par with the Roger Corman Fantastic Four and the 1991 Captain America feature starring Matt Salinger.
Thank God Generation X would all be forgotten a few years later when X-Men was released as an actual Feature Film.
