Film Films that were allegedly good or rumoured to be good, but were shite.

[old.user4556]

This thread is about opinions remember.

Totally.

 

[ramathorn]

LOTR.

YouTube - Clerks 2 LOTR Vs. Star Wars scene - good quality

forgot how awesome clerks 2 was, definately due a re-watch.

transformers 2, terminator: salvation, juno, i am legend - all had major potential yet were frickin shiat

 

[yaruar]

Blair Witch, brilliant marketing campaign, shame the film sucked worse than a 2dollar crackho.

 

[Raven]

Tron, even when i first saw it. I don't necessarily dislike it, I just don't understand why people get excited over it.

Transformers. Shite

Oh Brother where art thou. Had to turn it off, dreadful film.

 

[Trem]

Tron film was shit, the arcade game on the other hand was great

I really shouldn't post in this thread, I thought Donnie Darko was a special film, watched it without hearing anything about it and thought it was brilliant. Benjamin Button was fucking shite. Many more have been mentioned that I thought were great but I cba now.

Edit - Sideways and Sin City were fantastic

Maybe I just have taste and you are all wrong, generally the way it is (in my head)

 

[Raven]

I would also like to add anything starring Will Farrell in. He is not funny in the slightest.

 

[mr.Blacky]

PS I love you. I thought it was funny so the girl I was with just hit me, and then left me

 

[mooSe_]

most films of marvel comics

 

[Aoami]

reservoir dogs.

everyone seems to love this film but i think its average and tarantinos worst

 

[old.user4556]

PS I love you.

That was a trully fucking awful film that put bad ideas into women's heads about men. We're supposed to be romantic even after we die. Give me a fucking break.

The Thin Red Line. Worst war film ever.

Return of The King. The others were OK.

2001. I've tried watching it stoned, it doesn't make a difference. And tbh the source material wasn't one of Arthur C. Clarke's better efforts anyway; the should have made Childhood's End instead.

Can't believe someone dissed Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

As for slagging off Transformers etc., I thought this thread was about films regarded as alllegedly good; does anyone over the age of 11 rate the Transformers films?

 

[Moriath]

Duel by Speilberg
Silverado was hyped when it came out and was crap
Cloverfields hate al that first person cam shit
Lucky number Slevin
I second Tron i thought that was pants even first time round

 

[Billargh]

A thread where we pretend to hate films that everyone loves just for the sake of being different/controversial.

But really, Transformers, Drag Me To Hell and Terminator Salvation. (It would be common sense to mention Juno in this also, surely everyone knows this already though)

The same applies to Adam Sandler!

 

[Wij]

The Thin Red Line. Worst war film ever.

There's worse but it's pants.

Return of The King. The others were OK.

All about the same tbh. Pretty good, not amazing.

2001. I've tried watching it stoned, it doesn't make a difference. And tbh the source material wasn't one of Arthur C. Clarke's better efforts anyway; the should have made Childhood's End instead.

wtf - It's brilliant !

Can't believe someone dissed Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

Nor me. Fucking ace film.

As for slagging off Transformers etc., I thought this thread was about films regarded as alllegedly good; does anyone over the age of 11 rate the Transformers films?

Transformers was quite pants.

Personally I think Schinder's List is overrrated. I mean who the fuck cares ???

I think it's more about hating films that are crap in your opinion.

You can't have an opinion without being controversial

 

[soze]

With the exception of The Big Lebowski I hate just about everything by the Coen's
Righteous Kill - De Niro and Pachino yet utter shite.
American Beauty
Kill Bill 1 and 2
The Exorcist

Transformers, because it's a shallow live-action cartoon. I could barely stay awake when I saw it. Even Megan Fox couldn't save this one.

A.I. Steven Spielberg is a bit hit and miss and this one is a big miss. Boring, plodding with no real direction.

The Dark Knight. Everyone else must have seen a different film to me because it just didn't engage me at all. I usually try to give a film a chance but this one is not on my shopping list.

*gasp* how very dare you? Coen Bros are great, watch Millers Crossing and tell me it isn't great, Fargo as well how can anyone not like Fargo!!??!!

God you are so right about the Kill Bills though they were shit of the highest order as was Righteous Kill.....so boring.

A.I I forgot about that, possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen, I actually enjoyed Transformers, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Heath Ledger was sublime in Dark Knight, he was just so watchable I think if you enjoy him in it you enjoy the film but perhaps he just wasn't your cup of tea.

 

[Darthshearer]

Aany Tarantino film! The guy is Soooooooooooo overated.

 

[`mongoose]

fuckin hell I have shitty standards, so many films that I love are mentioned in here

Stuff I thought was over-rated..

Lost in Translation. I was so disappointed. I got the whole foreigner and uncomfortable thing about the movie I just thought it was dull

I was never that keen on goodfellas (Yeah I know, it's a great movie, my only defence is that everyone had told me how good it was before I got to see it and thus I was left feeling underwhelmed)

Mama Mia. I. Hate. Abba. K?

That's it from what I can remember. I can watch almost anything (movie-wise) and be enterained. I avoid horror movies (never did like them) and I find really explicit violent movies difficult to watch as I get older for some reason..

[mycenae]

anything with jack black in it, or Will Ferrell

 

[Damini]

Thin Red Line - cheesy flashbacks, mingled with complete boredom.

The Sixth Sense - saw the twist from so far off, I never even realised it was a twist, and thought the twist was that he was still alive.

Dusk Till Dawn - indulgent shite.

Transformers - someone just dipped their penis into a box of special effects, and then threw some spanners across a screen. And then used the same penis to cast Megan Fox. Bad penis! BAD!

Indy4 - Just made me think of making old people with dementia dance for your amusement. Which normally would make me laugh, and it still didn't. Fail.

Benjamin Button - even watching it on fast forward couldn't spare me the tedium of it all.

Titanic - hack drivel, mixed with offensive stereotypes. I actually think the boat only sunk because I willed it to happen.

The Shawshank Redemption - didn't do anything for me.

The Big Lebowski - meh. Watched it, can't remember a thing about it.

 

[Jiggs]

Scott of the Antarctic

As soon as they got all emotional about taking dogs along I knew what the outcome was going to be...

 

[Malecheon]

I am legend, Hancock, In Pursuit of Happyness, in fact most of Will Smith's recent films.

 

[ST^]

300. All of the good bits were in the trailer.

District 9. It's both boring and stupid. Good CG though.

 

[Ctuchik]

Jumper - good idea,wasted 3 hours of my life going to see it at the cinema.

plus the time to get to and from said cinema

 

[Vasconcelos]

Righteous Kill - De Niro and Pachino yet utter shite.

"Heat"

300 was utter trash, but District 9? Are you cereal?

 

[Lethul]

Juno
Lost in translation

I must say i like quite a lot of the movies a lot of people have mentioned here (not transformers tho, but i didn't think they were considered good movies so can't really be disappointed with it)
