The all time worst had to be U-571. Bad acting, bad effects, totally ridiculous plot...none of above even in same league
That movie isn't bad, but they got their facts all wrong. Suppose to be British, not the American during that time of events.
Now I do love that movies: Kelly's Heroes and I don't see anything wrong with it. Dunkirk wasn't bad, but I hated when they switch back in fourth during the events and part of it doesn't make any sense that already gotten dark while showing some shots that was in daylight.
Back to the topic, that movie look interesting, but what is Willis (who is he suppose to be)? Chennault, the flying tigers??
There one movie I gotten from Target few days ago, called In Harm's Way (not John Wayne), pretty good and mostly drama and sad at the end. Surprise that the Chinese manage to make that one.

Well, my nomination is for a film pitting WWII naval vessels against alien invaders : Battleship
So many bad things in there it would take too long to write them all up so I will state my biggest issue - The USS Missouri is brought into service to fight the aliens and just happens to have ammo in the magazines. It uses its mighty 16" guns to hit the alien ships and hurts them but does not destroy them.
The aliens sink Missouri with their rasp-torpedoes that bore holes through the ship. The hero switches to a slightly more modern DD that still has a 5'' gun and closes with the damaged alien vessel. Do they fire the 5" gun to finish it off? Nooooooo! They get some rifles from the armoury and close in enough to shoot the alien commander on his bridge!
I think Ben Affleck was the protagonist in that one too. The idea must have been to use bad acting to distract from a terrible plot and abysmal realism.
That movie Battleship is pretty good and funny, but when I saw those big 16 inches gun turret turn, lmao that is not realistic. It will take time for those big gun to rotate 180 degree, probably thirty seconds at least.
