The 10 Worst Fantasy Movies with Great Premises
Mar 9, 2025
Fantasy is a genre where pretty much anything goes. It serves as a playground for imagination and the creative minds behind films, allowing them to craft whatever story they want, be it magical, impossible, or wild, without any repercussions or limitations save for the ones that they put in place. At first, it might seem like a hard thing to get wrong since anything goes. Indeed, sometimes, it does go very, very wrong.
The world of cinema often produces bad movies and, in turn, bad fantasy movies. This might not necessarily be the fault of the writer(s) either because the story might be solid, even though the film lacks the rest of the right ingredients that typically make a movie great. These are the worst fantasy movies with great premises, which are hallmark examples of brilliantly crafted worlds with wasted potential that ultimately disappointed critics and audiences alike.
10 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' (2014)
Directed by Peter Jackson
The first two movies weren't actually all that bad, but they certainly didn't hold a candle to the critically acclaimed trilogy ten years prior. Many fans were disappointed at the adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's debut novel because many felt it was overly-padded, too cartoony, and riddled with bad CGI. Despite being directed by the same guy, The Hobbit just didn't quite pack the same punch as its predecessors. But hey, maybe they saved the best for last, right? Wrong.
