Supposedly "great" movies that kind of sucked

"SIGNS",with Mel Gibson.I was expecting sooo much due to it having rave reviews,but i found it totally crap!!!!!

I watched Seven Pounds yesterday, I thought that was a great film, actually got a bit weepy at the end, it was a sad film but uplifting at the same time and Will did a great job in it I thought.

They just started advertising that over here and comes out 7th of January I think.. or something like that... Just from the ad's i've seen on television, I can't work out what it's even about? I'll probably pass on the spoiler.. The Mrs is probably going to drag me to see it sometime..



Another one that looks interesting is Curious Case of Benjamin Button.... The one where the guy is born old and gets younger through his life... Looks incredibly strange and possibly a bit of a ladies movie...
Has anyone seen this?? Another one i'll be dragged to in the next few weeks, so a heads up if I should bring my PSP kidding...



I've only got a DS...

Seven Pounds is a great film mate but honestly if you are capable of being even remotely emotional over movies I wouldn't watch it in a public theatre. I sat at home on my own and couldn't help shedding a tear or two, if I'd have been in public I would have had to kill myself.

Benjamin Button is my viewing choice this weekend, it's supposed to be the best film of the year, has gotten great reviews.

My favourite film of the year so far though has been Taken with Liam Neesen. That film was just fucking rocked

The Bourne movies are up there with my favorite trilogies of all time.... I may give Cold Mountain a try another time.. Wasn't in the mood for it... My girlfriend has read a book every week for the 4 years i've known her, and Cold Mountain was the first book that she didn't want to finish..


Shows that we all have different tastes..

I'm a real fan of cheap thrills though... I do like deeper stuff of course, but rarely is a big blockbuster with even a half decent story line wasted on me..

I didn't like Crash either.. Didn't like Monsters Ball or whatever with Halle Berry.. Plus this one will probably get me crucified by a few people, but I wouldn't put Halle Berry in my top 200,000 most attractive women on earth.. Neither with Angelina Jolie.. Both are as overrated to me as just about anything can be overrated....

Darn, every time I try to think of some of the movies I didn't like, I end up just thinking of actors I don't like..


I'll have to dig up one of our "recommend me a movie" threads.. I remember most of the movies recommended were brilliant, but there were a few that I thought were horrible...

Yah man, here our tastes are similar, I also think Jolie is overrated on the hotness scale. A little too skinny and precious for my liking. And not a good actress. I'll say one thing in her defense, she does put her money where her mouth is when it comes helping people in poverty. I think Halle Berry is pretty cool though, until she opens her mouth, which kinda spoils it for me. We wouldn't last a week.

Fight Club i have no idea how it got such a following i think its one of the worst movies i've ever seen. I watched it again just to make sure i didn't miss something, but i didn't just a terrible boring movie throughout.

Really? Me and Danny just watched it last night too.

It was okay, and yeah, I cried at the end, but it was a bit predictable for me. The only thing that surprised me, is what was used to end it, although it shouldn't have. I'm sure you know what I mean, I don't want to give it away for anyone that hasn't seen it.

Just saw Mystic River, what a pile of shit. Horrible movie, the acting was totally schizophrenic, at times decent to good, at times absolutely comical. The scene near the end with Sean Penn and his wife in their bedroom is one of the funniest scenes in movie history.

Feel free to respond, unless its to take up for that piece o shit.

loved that film aint seen it since first came out though

[Drago]

[quote=CutMeMick;660239]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.[/quote]

loved pirates one 2nd one was ok 3rd one never ended and was crap

master & commander was so fkin boring

[Drago]

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.

Die hard is one of greatest movies ever made in my book, perfection

[Drago]

Cloverfield. Pure garbage.

correct sir

[leftylee]

I didn't like Reservoir Dogs.

Too short and it was like the whole story was shot in the warehouse.

[Drago]

the departed, not sayin it was crap but was no way as good as everyone was saying

Wall-e, this started well then i just didnt care after twenty mins

Get smart, this was just not funny enough, see all the best clips in the 2 min trailer

Be Kind Rewind, had to turn this off it was so poor

The thin red Line, some people have this as there favourite war film of all time, i sat & watched all 3 hrs of that shite in the cinema, i just didnt care who lived & who died in the end just wanted it to end

Appollo 13, snorefest with the always boring tom hanks

these are the ones that come to mind

What spoiled Titanic for me was at the Begining. They told you the Boat sank, it spoiled the ending for me.
