Supposedly "great" movies that kind of sucked

[Dizaster]

Cold Mountain was rubbish.. Literally hired it when it first came out and didn't even bother finishing it..
Maybe it's just Nicole Kidman's horrible acting... Anyone that says she's a great actor that even deserves to be on screen, let alone win an Oscar, needs their head checked...

I heard an interview with her just after "Australia" came out, and the interviewer was saying "Is there any parts in the movie where you watch and be like, "okay, that was pretty good acting"" etc??
She replies "Oh no! I hardly ever watch my movies and when I do I just cringe (so do us all Nicole)" she then goes on saying "My whole career i've had to turn to people and go "Was that really horrible?" and they'd say it was great, but I always feel like i'm doing a terrible job"...

Well here is how I see it, literally because she IS doing a bad job..
But, if you're in a career.. A career you've chosen.. You work hard at it and are supposed to even be world class at it, you should at LEAST feel like you're doing a decent job.. Like, I have a pretty mundane job, but I can still look at things and go, "hey, i'm pretty proud of that.. Or, I worked well here"... The fact Nicole has never been proud of any acting she's done or ever felt like she's done a good job is evidence in itself that she's probably doing a shit job....

Although some critics can't stand her and see her wooden one note performance for what it is, a lot still think she's brilliant...

F'n shits me.. And she's ruined a tonne of potentially good movies..

Well, you've certainly let your thoughts be known in clear and certain terms. I kinda liked Cold Mountain, so I guess I need my head checked. Call me a sucker for a good romance.

I didn't think she was that bad, thought she did a decent job of playing a sheltered, pampered, naive girl who suddenly had to rely on herself in the cold cruel world. No accounting for taste I guess.

As for the interview, well there's lots of insecure artist types out there, I wouldn't put too much weight on answers like the ones she gave.

Come to think of it, I don't think she's a very good actress either

Boardering on Ginger too.

Call me crazy but I have a few movies that I think are meh!...

Pirates of the Caribbean - Just didn't get the whole thing I mean it was a good movie but I not great.

Babel - Fuck me! was this a long movie.

Master and Commander - Just didn't get greatness from it.

[OumaFan]

I kind of liked Master and Commander Have thought about renting Babel like 43 times but never care enough to do so.

Technically I meant "great" in the sense of critics slobbering over it, Oscar nominations, kind of like Love Guru, but it doesn't matter I guess.

[Salty]

Crouching tiger hidden dragon is the worst movie I have ever seen, how many awards did that win?

[Spicoli]

Ducking under the desk.......The Matrix.By the mid point of the 2nd one at least,Just done....ok we get it.

[amat]

Um the Bourne movies the camera shook soooo much it is impossible to watch, I don't get how any human on this planet can deal with that shakeycam.

Babel has been mentioned and is spot on.

Most pure action movies, really they all bore me. Die Hard included.

Really?

Sure you're not confused? With Bruce Willis, terrorists taking over the Nakatomi plaza?

I'm not even angry, just sad.

yea the Bourne movies sucked really bad. I only watched the 1st one, but that was all i needed to see.

and the Matrix movies suck too. like Spicoli said after the 1st one there was really no need for anymore like really.

Ah mate I agree completely. I watched the first one and thought it was utter crapness I still can't believe that they managed to get a trilogy of blockbuster films and a whole range of kids toys out of that shit. I couldn never even bear to watch the second two.

I know I'll be in a minority here too but the Dark Knight completely went over my head as well. Everyone I know told me how amazing it was but I had to stop watching after 30 minutes just becuase it's the campest, most ridiculous film I've ever seen.

I mean they tried to make it dark and realistic, but you just can't do that with a man who wears a black cape and dresses like a bat, with a stupid synthesized voice. It is by definition, campy, comic book fun for nerds, trying to dress it up as a serious dark fantasy is doomed to fail and only emphasises how ridiculous it really is.

I was furious when I tried to watch this.

I rented the DVD and when I put it on, the first thing it said was that it was a criminal offence to watch pirate films.
