Movies you never bothered to finish watching...

[Dizaster]

The other night I hired 5 movies from the store, and one of them i'd been meaning to see since it was out at Cinema's...

That was "Public Enemy" with Johnny Depp... He is usually a seal of guarantee that a movie is going to be great, or at least watchable... And this movie looked alright...


But this was just awful... THE most boring movie I have watched in a LONNNNNG time... It was like a boring, wooden documentary with absolutely zero entertainment value... I got about 35 minutes into it and literally had not enjoyed a single minute of it yet... So I turned it off and didn't bother watching the other hour that it had left..

Sorry to anyone who really liked this movie...

Anyway, can you guys recall any movies you started watching and didn't finish?? Or at least any that you watched, and by the end thought you shouldn't have bothered? I don't just mean the real stinkers that you actually couldn't take your eyes off for some reason.... I mean, just boring where you felt like you'd just watched paint dry...

PUBLIC ENEMIES IS THE BOMB!!! What on earth are talking about? It's one of the best gangster movie I've seen.

Colin Farrell is a great actor. But he suck balls in Alexander and New World. I've watched Alexander but not entirely in one night. I continued watching it the next night. For New World though, I had to walk out of the cinema.

Inception. Fell asleep, I think

I too gave up on Public Enemy and Inception after just a few minutes.

Also Deja Vu and the Road. I was immensely looking forward to both films for months, and as soon as I turned them on I thought 'meh' and turned them off.

A films quality doesn't increase the likelihood of me watching it though.

I mean there are some truly awful films out there that I find immensely enjoyable. Mega shark vs Giant Octopus was the worst film ever made, and I watched it twice! It was compelling, and brilliantly a sequal has just come out Mega Shark vs Giant Crocodile or something, sounds great.

Here is are two of the greatest action sequences for Mega Shark 1, so bad yet somehow glorious.





This film was somehow epic.

waterworld. stopped watching about 15 minutes into it.

Also Deja Vu and the Road.

Why's that? Is it because Viggo Mortensen wasn't in his Aragorn outfit?

Public Enemies could have been sooo much better. I think the major issue I have with it is that it was filmed on digital cameras and not on actual film. It makes the movie look shallow and there's just no depth to the picture at all everything looks very flat and humdrum, very bland.

Also I read the book and it was waaaaay better than the movie, too much action in the book to fit in 1 movie. HBO could have done a much better job doing a series out of it.

I can watch damn near any movie, I can't remember ever walking out on one. I do remember being greatly disappointed in "The Road to Perdition"

Michael Mann does that alot for some reason.

Ali
Collateral
Miami Vice

All not filmed in traditional 35mm.

He's produced films and let other Directors do whatever they wanted but seems like whenever he's been the Director (this side of the 21st century), his preference has been to shoot in HD.





To be honest, I haven't seen Public Enimies but I do like the gritty feel that his films give off.
They seem less... American... And thus less Hollywood.
Both drastic stereotypes I agree but (for example) my eyes are trained to view NTSC as more fantasia than PAL () therefore I'm inclined to be drawn to the humble, less self assuming aura that Michael Mann films give off.
Which actually is a very good thing if your watching a film about one of the most broadcast/ discussed/ famous sports personalities on the planet!
