after giving it a bit more thought, I realize that what qualifies as a "worst movie ever" has to include letdown, reasonable expectation, etc. So, even though a movie like Patch Adams was absolutely terrible, anyone paying attention to Robin Williams could expect such a dud. The winner, therefore, is

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

possible the worst divide of expectation and results I can ever remember. take a great story, from a great storywriter, add a cast with a decent mix of quality, and put the movie together with as little attempt at quality from everyone involved, and you'd still think they'd make a better movie than this.
