  • Most Disappointing Movies

    I was going to post this in the movie thread, but I didn't want to get off-topic.

    What's one of the dissapointing movies you've ever seen? A movie that was really hyped up and you were really looking foward to seeing and than it just totally blew?

    One of mine is War of The Worlds, the newer one. It was hyped up a bunch and the special effects looked awesome, it was Speilburg so I expected it to be good, but then it just sucked. The acting was and Dakota Fanning was . Just a bad movie.

    Star Wars Ep II. I wasn't expecting much, but I've seen grade school plays with better acting / actor direction. I fell alseep during those too.

      all the "new" Star Wars movies. I grew up with the originals.... Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi...I didn't like the Episode I-II of the new ones...didn't bother seeing Epside III.

      The Matrix sequels

        Could be the first Star Trek movie. Waited so long for it. Long and boring.

        Yet, Tyrone was oddly attracked to the bald chick, Persis Khambata (spelling?). Her bald head reminded me of a delicious ROCK.

          We just tried watching Ep III. After 20 minutes of asking each other WTF happened in the last one and generally talking about anything but the movie (I actually found myself looking the the trees outside instead of the show) we just turned it off.

          And it's not like I'm picky. I'll watch some really bad movies. I even sat through some German "horror" movie about condoms with teeth and well... I'm sure you get the idea. So I think it says something for the direction the Star Wars franchise went when I couldn't even hold out longer than half an hour.

            "Kingdom of Heaven". I was so pumped to see this. The Crusades. Religious fanatics on both sides feeding and motivating the war machine. The director of "Gladiator", Ridley Scott.
            The first half of the movie was decent, but the last hour or so was complete trash. It focused almost completely on the worst character in the movie, the lead. Orlando Bloom was awful.

            Some others I thought would be decent, but turned out to be big steaming piles of shit:

            Pearl Harbor
            The Passion of the Christ
            Star Wars, The Phantom Menace
            Ed Wood

                Agreed. ALL of the new Star Wars. I couldn't even finish "Episode III" and I dig action movies. Like Skin, I got 20 minutes into it and had to turn it off. Bad acting. Bad writing. Overblown special effects.

                  I liked Episode III--except the Lava scene. I also liked The Passion Of The Christ, but I'm also Christian, so it had more meaning to me.

                  I think it was better than Return Of The Jedi--which was by far the worst of the first three. George introduced Ewoks--which was kind of a prelude for what he tried to do in these last three movies.

                    That's understandable, I have lots of Christian friends and relatives. Some loved it some didn't. I, as you probably know, am not religious anymore. However, I was looking forward to seeing it. I went to see it in the theatre. The story of Jesus' end has all the makings of good tradgedy. A young rebel with a large following, the politics of the Jews and Romans on what to do about this threat, and the best friend that betrayed him. It has all the elements for a ripping good story. But, this movie sped past all these interesting parts, and focused so much on Jesus' torture and crucifiction. Over half of the movie was Jesus taking a beating, that would have killed an elephant, and his crucifiction.

                      I think I'm one of the few people who liked Ep I. of the new Star Wars. There were correctable flaws in that one that could have dramatically improved it. But II was worse and III was abysmal. Let's review the premise: You have a dream that your wife might die in child birth so you 1) Betray your best, lifelong friend (kenobi), 2) Kill your best fighting mentor (Windu), 3) Kill every Jedi-in-training child all because you 4) listened to some guy with a really bad argument (Palpatine). And in the end, you pretty much abandon your wife anyway.

                      Nothing in this series made much sense, all because of George Mucus' 'the emperor has no clothes' approach to leadership. The guy never delegated any decision-making, listened to no one else when casting, and helped write one of the most abysmal set of scripts known to man, all because he surrounded himself with talented firghtened rabbits. I loved script elements like: "I can't breath. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating."

                      I think Annakin described the viewing experience the best when he said: "if you are suffering as much as I am, PLEASE, tell me."

                        I agree 200%.

                        His bearing of the cross was like what, 65 minutes of the movie? I get it, he suffered and died for our sins. But I can only watch the son of god carry a piece of wood for so long before i start clipping my toenails.

                        Am I going to go to hell for saying that?

                              The absolute worst movie I ever saw was a Warren Beatty flick back in the 80s.

                              The movie was "Reds". It was to this day the only movie I ever walked out of.

                              I know it was critically acclaimed and all the drivel, but it stunk.
