Films you personally hate

[Dan Druff]

Following on from this (http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=144773) thread, you can now name and shame those films you personally hate..just say why.
I think an amnesty can be afforded to you..even if the film you name is regarded as the bee knees by the critics and the general populace..

Four Weddings and a Funeral Andie McDowell is a terrible actress, and the whole thing felt manipulative, even for a chick flick. Pushed the wrong buttons on me.

Soldier A boring big budget sci-fi film. Paul Anderson did bad.

Judge Dredd As a fan of the 2000AD character I was appalled at this sacrilege

Highlander 2 Just a badly made film, a poor continuation of a film with a good character

Sneakers Too implausible ('Say.. passport' - right) and actually a bit of a mess

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The first time I saw this I thought 'yeah, enjoyable'. Now I see it as a poor mans Raiders of the Lost Ark, with Indy just getting off with the crap Alison Doody (nothing like the relationship with Marion in the first, which had depth), a 6' right handed Hitler, Sean Connery as his dad (he obviously became his father at age 7 or so. Not implausible actually as Connery says he first had sex at age 9), pretty badly done set pieces not a patch on the original (motor boat and tank vs the originals boulder, truck, Cairo scenes, Ark opening finale etc.), and a frankly weak ending:

Grail falls down a hole that conveniently opens up and the knight, happy with all this, waves them goodbye. OK.

pfft, i liked that film. Or is that really obvious? :)

At the moment my top hates are anything starring Julia Roberts, except maybe Flatliners. They're all just a showcase for her to give her 'hurt puppy dog' look :oh-hum:

[Jowy]

There are soooo many i really hate :)

-The Patriot, anti-british crap, historically less accurate than an episode of Black Adder

-The Cell, a huge mess

-Armageddon, evil comet ? give me a break. How many american flags can you fit into one film ? Makes me think yanks have to be reminded every 2 minutes what their flag looks like

-American Beauty, bored me to death, couldn't care less about any of the characters, totally overrated

-Pearl Harbour, apart from taking a bit too much freedom with actual history, Ben Affleck can't act his way out of a wet paperbag, i thought when he found about his girlfriend he looked like the pizza delivery boy just told him they ran out of his favorite topping

[LooneyJetman]

Musicals leave me stone-cold, with the exception of Rocky Horror and the South Park movie (the only ones that spring to mind at the moment!). A vivid memory of mine was having to endure Annie at the cinema when I was young. My Grandmother would take us to the cinema during the holidays, me choosing a film one week and my sister choosing the next (and we were to young to have the option of staying home). I still have nightmares. Actually, Moulin Rouge was pretty good...

Unfortunately, my Wife loves musicals so we have a fair number of them in our collection.

Monkeybone annoyed the hell out of me, it was a blind purchase and I don't know if I'll ever watch it again. I only bought it because Bridget Fonda was in it!

highlander - over hyped. it just seemed cheap to me.

shallow hal - the forgot the jokes! not fiunny and jack black was the most annoying here than in any other film

If you go round with that attitude you'll miss a couple of real gems... like The Mexican and Ocean's 11.
Also Erin Brokovich was abov average in a The Insider-lite kind of way.

Other than those three, and after looking at her entire back catalogue on IMDB (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Roberts,+Julia), I think I agree with you there.

[beaky]

I thought I was the only one who hated Four weddings and a funeral!

[Dan]

Titanic - need I say anymore.

Okay, I agree with Ocean's 11.. but that's it :)

[Mr Flibble]

Four Weddings and a Funeral is just dire


'is it raining, I hadn't noticed':oh-hum:

Maybe you'll notice this slap then luv! :nono:

What films do I hate? The Matrix for a kick-off, Reeves can't act to save himself, and the 'lobby scene' is a complete rip-off of Blade! What else, erm - Phantom Menace, AOTC - both for destroying my childhood memories.

I'm sure I'll think of some more ;)

[Marts62]

Thank heavens I can't think of any.

But gratuitous bad language (Erin Brokovich, Vampires) and violence against women (East is East) are good enough reasons for me not always wanting a DVD with such features in my collection.

[Goblin]

Erm None.

Maybe Donnie Darko, but only because everyone keeps saying its so good! :)

that rules 51st State out then :D

[Tom Whitaker]

Blade Runner :zzz:

[new forms]

Gladiator - narked me off to no end, like I'm supposed to give a crap about Crowe's family after he went round the world doing the same thing to folk all over

That film where Stallone and Bandera's play assasins (probobly called Assasin - cant remember).................was there ever a worse film made......)

Stormriders...................pretty boy crap

[JonLaidlow]

Moulin Rouge

because it was so middle of the road, and yet made out it was radical

J

[Draven]

Legends of the Fall I was unfortunate enough to pay good money to see this at the cinema. What happened to Anthony Hopkins acting ability? All those shots of Brad riding his horse accompanied by stirring music just did me in. Absolute pap.


The Road to Wellville Another Hopkins stinker. No redeeming features whatsoever for me (I even fell asleep in the cinema).

American Beauty After everyone raving about this, when I finally got round to seeing it I was very dissapointed. I felt no sympathy with Kevin Spacey's character at all and found the whole experience completely boring.

[dogbert]

Couching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - the biggest peice of poo ive ever seen.

Titanic - a decnd 90 movie with all the romance cut out this movie is just a bore. same said for pearl harbour.

BAttlefield Earth - Need i say more????

[Lenny Nero]

Got some favorites of mine there, Soldier, Highlander 2, Judge Dredd.
Not liking Blade Runner is incomprehensible.

I hate Swimfan, extremely stupid, never have I expected one obvious thing only to see the character do another.

Also, everything before about 1965. :dork:

What happened in 1965 to change your opinion :confused:

[Mozley]

I always post this in these threads, but I'm still going to do it again 'cos I hate it so much!

My vote goes with Quadrophenia.

Charmless, pompous, overblown and overrated. I've no sympathy for any of the characters, who are all obnoxious little ************ as far as I'm concerned. When Phil Daniels says that he's a mod because he wants to be different, not like everyone else, and he's surrounded by mod-clones...FFS!

The whole thing seems to be an excuse for the Who to whine pompously during complete non-event 'sequences.' Crap direction, crap script, no pace whatsoever, completely non-engaging, non-compelling rubbish. Why it's gained such a cult following I'll never know.

[Goblin]

ok I guess I personally hate,

Die Another Day - for changing a Bond Movie into a dumb pointless CGI action fest, and giving Bond a sidekick in the form of US Agent Jinx! :oh-hum:

TPM - its just so damn dull.

[Jimmyboy]

LOTR - Not because it's a bad film as such, but it left me feeling completely indifferent. At least when you watch paint dry you can get high at the sametime.

American Beauty - Kevin Spacey is fantastic, everything else is poo on a stick.

The Matrix - Geez this film is moronic.

Gladiator - By far the worst of the bunch. A rehashed mix of Braveheart but with even less of a story. Dragged out for around 3 hours for no other reason than to appear epic. Dire, Dire, Dire !.

[Cirrus888]

Blair Witch Project - mainly because me and my mates could've entertain ourselves swearing around Epping forest than watch that half arsed attempt at film making ... that and the US$120 million should've been mine ...

[Richie]

Titanic - utter tripe! Terrible screenplay, dreadful performances and truely awful direction (just how many times can you repeat the same 'swirling around the bow of the boat' shot?) THE worst Best Picture Oscar winner ever! :mad:

VERY closely followed by Gigi, for my reasons see here (http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=144605)

Of more recent films the one I have a particular hatred of is 28 days later, mostly again for having the worst screenplay of the year! (when will people suss that Alex Garland cannot actually write?). A fantastic premise utterly wasted. EVERYTHING about this film is all wrong. :mad:

[George vader]

I think quite a few people hated Soldier (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0120157) ,
myself included!!

Blair Witch 2 - The first (and only) time I've ever walked out of a cinema before the end of a film. Total rubbish.

Gladiator - I thought I would love this, huge Ridley Scott fan, the film left me completely cold and I absolutely hated it. Loads of people I know love it, so I give it another watch on DVD and hated it even more :oh-hum:

[clerk37]

The Matrix! :brickwall

[homerj]

THE MATRIX what a piece of *******

STAR WARS ATTACK OF THE CLOWNS the worst film ever

:rocker: :rocker:

[HighlanderTM]

Judge Dredd for desecrating a childhood friend. Andy Vajna (Exec Producer on the film) was planning on making Dredd into an ongoing franchise to rival Batman, and Danny 'Talentless b*****d' Cannon botched it! *

Dungeons and Dragons - Who gave a director with absolutely NO previous experience (in any form) $30 million to make a movie? exactly the same people at Newline Cinema who co-financed LotR!*

Battlefield Earth - It should have had a budget the size of Pearl Harbor, with a very experinced director at the helm. Roger Christian has never worked since.*

Highlander 2 - Where to begin?

American Beauty - I agree totally with your above comments. Best cinematography? For what? Doing Sam Mendes thinking for him?

* Yes indeed, folks, inexperienced directors and sci-fi don't mix...

[Paul Scott]

2001

[Jon B]

Forest Gump.


What is this films message? - It's good to be nice??

This movie had absolutely no depth and is extremely vague in it's attitude towards the events it depicts.

Typically, bad things happen to Gump's childhood friend because she does drugs



It probably doesn't help that I can't stand Tom Hanks. Just picturing him saying "Life is like a box of chocolates....." really sets my teeth on edge!

[horseflesh]

Any film that's won the Best Picture Oscar for a long time.
Forrest Gump, Beautiful Mind, Shakespeare in Love, Gladiator, and of course Titanic all spring to mind.

Horseflesh

[Johnny Vodka]

Gladiator (how a film with the cool subject of gladitorial combat could be this dull no-one will ever know)

Vanilla Sky (laughably atrocious)

Funny Games (right-wing nonsense, the equivalent of a Daily Mail pro-censorship rant)

No me as well Andie Mcdire - hoplessly miscast as she is in any film she's ever been in. She spoilt groundhog day by her simple presence on screen and she even spoilt Hudson Hawk and that was sh!te of the highest order.

She should never be in another film her ability to turn a fantastic film into a gilded turd is second to none- it's like that boy band that did a cover version of a Phil Collins (could have been Genesis) song and it was WORSE than the original - they must be like king midas in reverse - everything they touch turns to cr@p.

The Thin Red Line is my personal choice. Absolutely ******* DREADFUL. I detest it with a passion, such a bloody bad film.

Too long, too boring and some really dreadful voiceovers.

[father_christmas]

I agree with quite a lot already posted, but my stand out (most hated) movie would have to be ... THE ROCK .... (i still can't beleive i paid good money for that dvd) :mad:

[McD]

I'd just like to parachute in and say that (in my continually humble opinion) Titanic is one of the greatest achievements in cinematic history. I think it's hated for all the wrong reasons - crap script (it's actually excellent, with only about half a dozen lines of ropey dialogue in three hours), crap lead (bring out the 'DiCraprio is gay' brigade - but he was perfect in the film) and length (doesn't drag for a second). It was astonishingly well shot and atmospheric, with a grandeur that might never be topped. And whilst all those commentators blamed DiCaprio for the repeated visits of the world's female youth, I think James Horner had as much, if not more, to do with that. Just as Spielberg claimed Williams was responsible for 50c of every $ made by Jaws, I reckon Horner did the same damage on Titanic.

And given that Cameron has (a few quibbles aside) upped the ante with every new film, what the hell can he possibly do next? Even he doesn't seem to know.

'Where can you go from there? Nowhere. Exactly!'

[Mandrill]

[OT]Cameron made a shed load from Titanic didnt he ?[OT]

I hated The Cell total and utter pants :mad:

I saw some film called Brother's I think some Brit flick was the worse thing I have ever seen had to turn it off

[Mercury]

Minority Report (got so bored, didn't even see the end)
Eraserhead (worst film I've ever seen)
Sound Of Music / All 50s & 60s musicals
Gone With The Wind (anything like that)
Yellow Submarine (Beatles)

[Boink!]

Well, I have yet to actually hate a film, but Hook was one that I could not actually say a good thing about.
Spielberg, you failed! :thumbs:

On the contrary, Im probably one of the few people who consider Dicaprio to be a fairly strong actor but Cameron manages to make him look crap in such a fashion that he rivals George Lucas. ;)

[Mandrill]

Talking of DeCaprio I didnt think much of The Beach

[Jowy]

I would also add Titanic and Independence day, but i can't give you my reasons, because i am not allowed to swear :nono:

[bruce-leroy]

LOTR: FOTR - its not a "bad" film per se, but its way too overhyped. Empire magazine have done a 37 page feature on Two Towers in their January issue. What is all that about? It was the same when FOTR was released last December.

Star Wars: AOTC - nowhere near as good as its made out to be in some circles. The CGI overkill hurt my head. :nono:

The Crow: City of Angels - IMO the worst sequel ever made. As awful as The Crow was great.

[bruce-leroy]

I forgot to add:

Magnolia - three times I tried to watch it from beginning to end, and I fell asleep at various points in the movie on every occasion. :zzz:

[Mike]

I can't abide "Titanic", a dreadful film in every respect. What's the point of spending millions recreating a piece of history only to have it wasted because the dialogue is woefully out of period and Kate Winslet walks and talks like a Lyon's Corner House waitress. The scene where she clumps downstairs was the final straw for me - she'd have been kicked out of First Class and placed in a finishing school before you can say 'deportment'. Di Caprio's not a bad actor when he tries - "This Boys Life" principally - but he gets no help here from the script or the director. Cameron hasn't made a decent film since the magnificent "Terminator", the finest SF action movie ever made.

Also "Schindler's List" - superficial nonsense which turns the Holocaust into a game of Cowboys and Indians and has the sole purpose of getting Spielberg a Best Director Oscas. It lasts 6 times as long as "Night And Fog" for a sixtieth of the insight.

"Life Is Beautiful", for reasons stated here many times before.

"Saving Private Ryan" - another vastly overrated Spielberg opus which steals its opening from "Come and See" and then degenerates into sub- "Sands Of Iwo Jima" territory, without the presence of John Wayne or the pace of Allan Dwan's direction.

"Forrest Gump" - if it's a black comedy about the role of the idiot in shaping American history then it's nowhere near sharp enough. If it's meant to be taken seriously, it's offensive, reactionary garbage. Hanks' performance is awful, a collection of tics which doesn't even begin to create a believable character - probably why it won him an award (see Hoffman in "Rain Man", Robertson in "Charley", Mills in "Ryan's Daughter" for further evidence that the Academy has a strange affection this sort of grandstanding bad acting).

"Star Wars PMT" - the worst major film of the nineties. Bad dialogue, amateurish acting (McDiarmid aside), horribly obtrusive CGI, pacing so slow that even Robert Bresson might have been looking at his watch, and a film without a single touch of elegance in the cinematography. Lucas frames his characters as if he was taking a school photo.

[Walrus Man]

Mission Impossible 2 - at times it seemed like an advert for hair products, particularly during the ridiculous car spinning scene at the beginning. :oh-hum:

... and the totally implausible face masks, yeah right!

... oh and Tom Cruise being up his own arse throughout the movie.

[jackall]

Star Trek,Star Wars, Lord of the Rings ,enough said !!!!!

[Dear Mr Echo]

Moulin Rouge gets my vote having replaced Titanic!
I've said all this before I'm sure so I'm getting quite good at it now!

(copy & pasted from the Review Forum)

I felt the same way as I did about Titanic - I found it shallow, irritating, directionless. Characterisation would have been at home in a John Smith's commercial. I believe there was a very good film in there somewhere but the editing style and the construction of most of the musical numbers really hindered the storyline. It was kind of like a beautiful poem, chopped up Dada style, and then re-arranged, but still trying to make some sort of sense. I know I 'could' have liked Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGreggor in these roles but I think Baz Luhrman's obsession with stylistic quirkiness seriously undermined both actors.

In the book the dialogue works very well - the author didn't want to date the work at all by using slang words of the age so just invented his own - and that could hardly be left out of the film.

[Listy]

As I said bungle1979 the dialogue was only part of why I didn't like the film :)

[I-BERT]

It makes me wonder what most of you are doing on a Movie forum.:oh-hum:

[budgenk]

and I thought I was the only one who hated Four Weddings :) - it was such a middle-class, PC pile of rubbish, it was so light it didn't even play out the only vaguely amusing element which were the farce-type scenes

I also loathe Heat, it's such a navel-gazing, pretentious and massively tedious movie which seems to be an attempt to cover up its shallowness: this should have been made for about 20% of the budget, ran half the length and featured no-name actors and should have premiered on channel 5, then at least it might have been a vaguely entertaining cops and robbers story. It also wrings a dreadful performance from the often excellent Pacino, whose hopelessly stereotypical post-divorce gruff cop and loving father character gave him nothing to do but shout and occasionally hint at his heart of gold. Great shoot-out scene, but by then you're so sick of the film it's like digging a fiver out of Glastonbury toilets. The fact that it's a remake of an earlier film by the same director (LA Takedown, which I admit I've never seen, but I somehow don't have the appetite for it) seals the verdict on its self-indulgence.

Another film which suffers from the same problem of having one great scene surrounded by utter drivel is Way of the Gun, whose slow-speed car chase is absolutely brilliant. At least this film is a reasonable length though and doesn't attract so much worship so I find it less galling ;)

[Koku]

Wow, I'm glad to find fellow haters of Four Weddings and Andie McNoTalent in this thread! (Why the hell did someone as knowing as Peter Weir cast her in Green Card?!)

Others to add to the list include the usual Titanic/Pearl Harbour/Armageddon/Battlefield Earth rants as included here.

Can I toss Godzilla into the mix as that was THE most painful cinema experience I've ever had the misfortune to endure. And that's after I went to a premiere of Judge Dredd with Danny Cannon sat in the back row. Surprisingly when the lights came up, he'd done a runner...

[Paul490]

Titanic - Annoying, insanely tedious and overlong 'tragedy' version of history with an atrocious soundtrack. The bloody Cheeky Girls would have been better, FFS!

Pearl Harbor - Another horrible version of history that is about two hours and 50 minutes too long. Even the action scenes are nothing to shout about. Soapy, glossed-over rubbish. The only thing that would have made this pile of dog turds any worse would have been to have Carol Vorderman/Jamie Oliver/Paul Whitehouse/Paul Daniels in a sodding cameo! Piece of crap. No bloody error.

More to come when I think of them.

Other than an irritational hatred of Morons From Outer Space, I utterly despised Independence Day . Dreadful gung-ho American crap (and I don't care if it was intentionally b-movie, it was rubbish and intellectually insulting pap). Oh, and The Piano, which can be summed up in :zzz:

[Mandroman]

The Piano - what a waste of a Michael Nyman score

Human Traffic - wished they'd all taken bad E in the first reel and saved an hour and a half of my life.

Phantom Menace - pure dribbling shi ......

[Harsin]

Independence Day: with most films even if I hate them I can at least respect the opinion of those people who do like them. With this though my rationality flies out the window and I turn into some kind of fim Nazi when somebody mentions they like this film.

[DennyL]

Moulin Rouge - pretentious crap, with Kidman miscast and McGregor so implausible

Anything by Oliver Stone. He only has one mode, and that's OTT. He embodies the worst in Hollywood

The Rock - a completely incoherent mishmash of stunts

Carry On films for their immature British attitude to sex

[Xenole]

The Talented Mr Ripley
Memphis Belle
The Royal Tenebaums
Grease 2
Blair Witch Project

and many many others

[Jedibitch]

LOTR - My childhood was destroyed when the horseman were washed away by a guinness advert, i thought i was about to see half naked men romping on the shore!

Crouching Tiger - simply *****, just as it begins the titles role up!

The waterboy - or simply anything with adam sandler in, it's so unfunny that one day i may probably find it funny.

The Cell - I'm still recieving medical attention after watching that.

Titanic and Pearl Harbour are particularly hated on the forums it seems..add to them Independence Day, Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Matrix, then I think we have a DVD Forums top 5 hate list*!










*Not my personal top 5 hate list

[GrossePointeJack]

I despise The Matrix - There is some good stuff in there, but then when there is no action on the screen it gets very very boring. I have a friend who loves the Matrix, and he persists in telling me all the 'meanings' and 'biblical references' behind everything in the film - I just find it a load of rubbish, with various references thrown in to make it seem far more intelligent than what it is.

But for me it falls apart due to one flaw, intentional or not - and that is that life in The Matrix (the world that we have) is far better than life out of it (fair enough you can do kung-fu and so forth - but then so could everyone else). Life just seems far more pleasent, even though you're under control - you don't know your under control - so it won't hurt you will it?

Plus with these sequals coming out it means we'll have to be gripped by 'Matrix fever' again - and undoubtably my friend will continue to tell me how intelligent it is - and a perfect hybrid of arthouse themes and mainstream action.


Apart from that:

The last 2 Bond movies have done nothing for me personally - I don't know why, it just seems that they really have run out of things to do, but rather play with the formula they've just kept going with it.

Pearl Harbour - No explanation neccesary.

Bad Boys - I don't know why, I like Will Smith but could never get into this at all, it's probably Martin Lawrence who i really detest - But strangely i like the look of Bad Boys 2.

The Cell - Even the visuals (which i was assured would redeem all bad points of the film) annoyed me no end (I've seen it all in Tarzems music videos) - Plus add the beginning of the death of Jennifer Lopez's movie career (after good starts with U-Turn and Out Of Sight). I hope this man never makes a film ever again.

No flaw here. This is one of the strongest points of the The Matrix. It's all about freewill against subsuming all responsibility for your life, decisions and actions to a higher government and authority. You must be of a very conformist nature - don't rock the boat and life will be nice and easy. Is it better to be free and in poverty than in relative comfort and have no freewill? Without getting into the religious side of the argument, which you obviously don't want to take in - it offers up basic metaphysical questions about the nature of freewill. Do we really have freewill or only the illusion of it? I thought the Matrix, for all its flaws as an action movie and Keanu Reaves notwithstanding was an intelligent film that covered these issues concisely. I don't think people were willing to look at the deeper issues it raised and simply dismissed it as an Action/Sci-Fi movie, when it was considerably more than that.

Keanu is okay, though far from his career-standout as Bill - Esquire... The premise and idea is pretty good too, and certainly a 'little' bit original in a time where ideas are contantly rehashed.

BUT...

The execution is awful; the performances are both smug and dire at the same time, and the pacing is atrocious and the whole thing feels pretty empty. It's non-female orientated adolescent mastabatory material, and nothing more.

Still, here's hoping the other two are better... cos unfortunately they're going to be marketed like no-ones buisness and shoved down everyones throats... Hopefully the Warchow-skees aren't surrounded by 'yes-men' and can bring it up SEVERAL notches.

Reading this thread brings up some painful Memories.

Battlefield Earth - As soon as the subheading appeared "Battle For The Year 3000",my matesand I were in hysterics.

Wild Wild West - pathetic. Thats all that needs to be said.

East Is East - I was in cinema with friends so I couldn't walk out so I tried to go to sleep. I've never been so bored / or hated the film that much. It sucks!

Heres one you may not of heard of Slipstream. It was a summer in the early 90's. My mate and Dave went to London to experience Alien War. Afterwards we went to HMV or something similar. We found this film on video called Slipstream. Starring Mark Hamill, Bill Paxton, Bob Peck. "From the producer of Star Wars & the director of Tron". Me and my mate both bought a copy......neither of us have managed to watch ot all the way through. Its dire.

In defence of Crow : City Of Angels, blame Miramax for its suckiness. There is a workprint version of the original longer version which apparently is very good. Miramax saw the final version, though it sucked and edited it and change the order of several scenes so that it more closely resemebled the first movie.:(

Read about this recently

KURTZ: Really? Slipstream is one of those things that actually has a lot of good elements in it, but ultimately doesn't quite work, because the energy of the film changes dramatically. It was supposed to be – the script was very, very hard-edged, heavy R, rough, and gritty ...a rougher than Blade Runner kind of look at the future, basically. Then a week before shooting, the financiers – which were an English company – decided that it had to be a family film, so all of the rough stuff had to be taken out. And, frantically, we worked on rewriting various bits – even after shooting started – and the film ends up a bit of a mess, because the focus and the energy that was there originally gets dissipated in trying to make something out of something that wasn't there in the first place. I don't know what your impression of the film is...

IGNFF: It seemed very disjointed.

KURTZ: It's very disjointed – big chunks of story that disappear completely, that were never even shot. I begged them to let us postpone shooting for six weeks so that we could restructure the thing, and they wouldn't do it, so it was a very, very annoying and frustrating experience for me. I hated it. I'm a big flying buff, and I liked flying, I spent a month flying micro-lights and picking the aircraft – which I think was one of the best part of the film.

IGNFF: Yes, I would have to agree. That definitely seemed like the film that went from A to B to D to R to Z.

KURTZ: Exactly, and that's a very good case in point of what NOT to do. If the rules change and you have to regroup, then you just need to fall back and spend the time to regroup and do a decent job.

[Mike]

Regarding "Funny Games", I found it presumptious and derivative. Haneke is a fine director who has done some superb work elsewhere but I found this film tedious. It might have helped if the nice family weren't quite so pathetically bland - when the taller lad says "You are on their side aren't you", I screamed "No, kill them please". Which presumably wasn't the point.

[gooseUK]

There have been many films I've seen that I haven't had high hopes for as I've walked into the cinema and have come away with my low expectations confirmed (ie. Godzilla, Jurassic Park 3, Harry Potter 1), but it's rare that I go and see a really eagerly anticipated (by me) film - one thats been praised to high heaven, and is made by an already admired director by me - and find it to be complete turn-off.

One such rare film, which I have only seen once at the cinema - one that I thought I was going to love - and never, EVER want to see again, is Robert Redford's Quiz Show. Maybe I was in completely the wrong mood for this film, but it's the only movie in history that started to bore me during the OPENING TITLE CREDITS! I just HATED this movie. It was long, rambling, dull, uninvolving, despite having a fabulous cast, a great true-life story and a pretty damn talented director. That it had such great potential and yet totally fell apart for me is the true shame. That everyone else I know loves this movie makes me wonder if I should give it another chance? But the mere thought makes my eyes close for sleep!

Lord of the Rings:

Bored the absolute pants off me. After all the hype it failed to live up to it IMO. An awful film.

[Zenith15]

Titanic (except for Kate's tits) and an awful flick called Parting Shots - My mate didn't have sky at the time and I taped this for him and watched it - It's a Michael Winner movie (enough said say everybody!) but stars Chris Rea......yes the same "on the beach" and "Lets Dance" chap and yes...he can't act to save himself. my pal wanted it taped because he's a huge Doctor Who fan (Peter Davison has a small part in it) and to this day says its a good film!?! it's the biggest pile of steaming dung I've ever had the misfortune to watch!:confused:

[vanmunchen]

I'm amazed that many of what I consider to be great films are hated by some. But my hates, below, are also thought to be great by many others:

All the Star Wars films - I want serious science fiction, not childish fantasy science fiction and I hate the whole ethos that's grown up around the films

Gladater - Not a patch on Fall of the Roman Empire, of which it is more or less a remake.

All the Carry On films - completely moronic and witless.

Hannibal - Bad script, pointless story line.

The Godfather - Dull, talky, lacks visual flair.

[Ron Hill]

Highlander 2: Awful destruction of the nicely realised immortals mythos of the first film.

Alien 3: Attack of the camera angles with no purpose other than to leave no tension and sense of relative location and threat.

Judge Dredd: A real stinker. Dredd was my comic book hero as a kid and there is so much good material there for a movie adaptation but this film broke ALL the rules of Dredd and then screwed around with the ancillary characters so as to make them just plain unworkable.

Armageddon: Stars & Stripes in SPAAAACE.
Pearl HarboUr: Stars & Stripes at Sea.
U-571: Stars & Stripes capture Enigma first.
The Patriot: Stars & Stripes remake Braveheart and it's just as cr@p.

Blown Away: NORAID version of Northern Ireland. Since when was Castle Flurgendorf from Top Secret in Northern Ireland?? And as for Lloyd Bridges and his 2 seconds to pour pint of GWINNESS. He can drink it as it's obviously flat coca-cola. One of the few films i've walked out on in disgust.

Battlefield Earth: Havn't seen it but I love the book and figured the film would be a travesty when I saw the promotional pictures. This'll probably never get converted into a decent TV or movie version now. :( The thing I can't understand is that Travolta is a scientologist so surely you'd think he'd want to be associated with a faithful rendition of a book by the founder of his religion!

Star Wars Episode 1: Just plain awful. I walked out at the end in stunned utter disappointment. I actually went back and suffered it again a week or two later just to confirm that it really was as bad as I remembered as "Star Wars" had always been synonymous with "Enterainment" in my mind. I thought Episode 2 was quite good but after digging out my original trilogy boxset and giving them a whirl I find that Episode 2 pales in comparison.

Memento: Nice idea. Cr@p implementation. The whole thing would've been an interesting half hour on the Twilight Zone but as a film it's just boring and towards the finale feels like a bad episode of Murder She Wrote. I was waiting for Wayne & Garth to pop up and say "Let's do the Scooby Doo ending!"

For some reason there's something about this film that makes me want to keep it. I have to agree it's one of the biggest piles of steaming American ***** I've seen, but I think my brain adopts a negative IQ figure when I put it on - thus I think it's pretty good for the duration - and when I've finished I asked myself "Why did I watch that film again?"

I think there are films for which you like watching just to escape from reality - and in ID's case escape into a straightjacket - and others you enjoy because they are genuinely good films! Depends on my mood really.

Rubbish it may have been but the cut available is Stallone’s not Cannon’s. As a first time director he had little sway when the movie was taken away from him by Sly. As evidenced by his CSI work, Cannon has talent and if left to his own devices I believe Judge Dredd could have been great.

[rainbird]

Lethal Weapon 3 - one of the dumbest movies I've ever had the misfortune to sit through. Absolutely zero plotting just a collection of badly staged, unimaginative set pieces strung together with a lazy attempt at connecting them. Watching it really made me quite angry.

Independance Day. A popular choice I guess and if I'm in the minority then so be it, but I found this to be full of annoying, unbelievable characters and situations so unbelievably crass it beggars belief. The lowest point for me was the bit where the wife of the President and a surburban housewife meet in the ruins of Washington DC and share a cosy moment of mutual respect. I'm sure the filmmakers took it all very seriously, but I found it abysmal beyond belief. And as usual with these things the film itself is at least half an hour too long.

Full Metal Jacket - From boot camp to Vietnam this is 120 mins of cliches stacked one on top of the other. The nasty sadistic drill sergeant bullying the young recruits into shape might actually have carried some impact if it hadn't already been seen in dozens of earlier war movies. Staged in the least convincing Vietnam ever seen on film, the battle scenes carry none of the visceral impact of the then recently released Platoon. Almost as sad to watch was the confused critical reaction to the film - 'It's Kubrick! It must be a masterpiece - right?'
Wrong.

I'd also like to add What Lies Beneath and Contact to my list but thinking about these turkeys is just too depressing.

[Solidstate]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Natural Born Killers.

Oooh look we're being controversial - look what we're doing now isn't it naughty - well if you thought that was bad - look at this - please look......please.....please......pleeeese.

It comes across with all the desperation of a kid with no friends eating poo to get people to pay attention.

[LeftHandedGuitarist]

I wouldn't say I really hate any film, but there are a few I certainly dislike. Strange thing is though, with most of these I can't figure out exactly why, I just plain didn't like them:

Fight Club
Gladiator
Natural Born Killers
The Matrix
The Lost Boys
Monsters Inc.
Highlander 3
Blade 2
Any Quentin Tarantino film except Reservoir Dogs. I especially disliked Jackie Brown.
Alien Resurrection (Alien3 was great, but this was pants)

Don't want to be picky but Dredd was Cannon's 3rd film after the dull Brit flic thriller 'The Young Americans' and a film called 'Strangers' which no one in the world as seen.

[Dene]

Highlander, Under Siege, Cannonball Run 2* and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls* are a few that spring to mind. There are probably many others but one shouldn't concentrate on the negative too much.

*These two, especially the former, couldn't possible have had scripts. IIRC the Jim Carrey masterpiece has a music score which pretty much covers its entire duration, presumably in the same way as a bad smell might be hopefully drowned out by perfume.

[spida1998]

Lord of the Rings - FOTR. Was completely underwhelmed, but probably because of all the hype. Enjoyed Two Towers much more

Pearl Harbour - Because of its factual incorrectness and American bias

I first watched this on a *ahem* video copy years ago, at the height of its controversy. I didn't really like it then. A few days ago, I watched the directors cut dvd. And it was still utter rubbish.

I don't hate the Matrix (far from it), but think that the LOTR movies are waaaaayyy too overhyped.

[SheepDip]

When Harry met Sally - I don't understand how anyone (except perhaps 50 year old women who've never been kissed) can like this depressing slow drivel.

Titanic - anti British to the core. If any other race had been portrayed in this way there would have been uproar. If I was related to anyone who was misportrayed in that film I would have sued.

Braveheart - see above. Yes it was a very entertaining film, but it's lies have not exactly helped Scottish/English relations.

Magnolia - waste of 3 hours that I could have spent doing something more interesting - like watching paint dry.

ET - I used to really like this film - but since those BT adverts:mad: :mad:

Raising Arizona - My bruv in law raves about this film - but I can't see the point. Perhaps it's the accents.

Magnolia was soooooooooooo boring

Braveheart - see above. Yes it was a very entertaining film, but it's lies have not exactly helped Scottish/English relations.True, but I don't think they've made them any worse. Braveheart has the problem of trying to make a movie out of a historical figure that we know very little about. The result is a very good film, but one that has absolutely no grounding in reality. It's more-or-less a Robin Hood-style movie, because they've turned actual historical figures into legend. However, if anything, I'd say that the poor Scottish/English relations of the time were DUMBED DOWN for the movie, as I'm sure the attrocities both sides inflicted were much more severe than those depicted in the film.

Braveheart's biggest problem is stereotyping. All Scottish characters are either filthy peasants living in mud-huts or stuck-up nobles continually squabbling with each other (reminds me of the Edinburgh parliament ;)), and all the English characters are either completely faceless or else despicably evil. While I don't think that anyone can contest the fact that king Edward whatsisname was being an evil old so-and-so by invading Scotland, I don't approve of the way that his fellow countrymen are all painted with the same brush. It wouldn't have been hard to depict the English soldiers in a more favorable light, but here the audience is expected to revel in their slaughter at Stirling (speaking of which, since when was the Battle of Stirling Bridge fought on an empty plain?), but when the Scottish (and Irish) forces are decimated at Falkirk, we're supposed to be repulsed by the bloody carnage.

Braveheart is not a poor movie, it is a very well-made movie with a surprisingly good script by Randall "Pearl Harbor" Wallace. Whatever its historical inaccuracies, I am willing to overlook them because I consider myself intelligent enough to know that most of what happens in the film is pure fantasy, and not let a movie dictate my outlook on others. I would argue that its exploitation of history is no different from that of Spartacus, a similar film which seems to be much more accepted on this board.

PS. Titanic I dislike, not for the so-called "anti-British" content that lots of people on these forums point to (content that I must confess I have never noticed), but because it is a poor movie.

[martinb]

braveheart = *ankfest for Gibson. The whole film for me was 'hey look how brave Gibson is, look what a great lover Gibson is, etc etc. I couldn't relate to his near god-like status.

Agreed ! It's a badly made soap opera by a mediocre director which doesn't know what period of history it's supposed to be recreating. At least "Gangs of New York" - a failure in most respects but a great one all the same - gets the dialogue spot-on, which is the area usually ignored by filmmakers. What's the point in spending millions on set decoration when your leading players are talking as if they're in an episode of "The Bill" and the actress, supposedly a society debutante, clumps down a flight of stairs like a shop girl.

Titanic kicks the arse of Gangs in just about every category.

Anyway, how did you go from 'quite liking it' to having a 'virulent hatred for every frame'? I've changed my opinion on a few films in my time, but I've never quite been on that rollercoaster ride!

Gone with the Wind - boring, boring, boring....really hate the film with a passion. Classic my arse!

[Jez]

;1848486']Titanic !!!!! :mad:

Any sections of any film with Leonardo di Crappio! :mad: :mad:

Apart from being an extremely good actor?:shrug:

[Derrida]

Anything directed by Spielberg (with the exception of Duel)...

But dude what about "Jaws"?!

[GarethH]

Serenity - Biggest pile of poo ever.

[LordoftheDance]

I Spit on your Grave for its depiction of rape. And yes, it's an exploitation film.

[magneticman]

deathproof

[chris21]

Was going to read this thread but gave up when I saw the mentions for "American beauty".

[animatedude]

Serenity - Biggest pile of poo ever.

ah THANK YOU!

[Raigmore]

James Cameron's Titanic is certainly the film that I hate more than any other. It is not the worst film that I have seen - though it is bad enough - but the fact that Cameron made such nonsensical romantic mush out of it when he had the chance to make a really good semi-doc film out of the story. The script is awful, the dialogue juvenile and the acting simply stupid. I am a member of the British Titanic Society and honestly would have GBHed Cameron had he been outside the cinema when we came out. Jack & Rose indeed!:gag::gag:

[chris21]

The only fault I can think of with Titanic is the dialogue. I think it's an excellent piece of exiting cinema.

[BlueDwarf]

Next made me very, very angry.
No character background/insight, stoopid plot, and then they hit the reset switch!

[grimley]

Rocky IV - nearly two hours of complete drivel IMO :nono::oh-hum::razz:

[degeneration]

Father of the Bride Part 2 - Just very dire
Scary Movie 3 - Multiple Boob and bad slapsitck jokes earnt this one to be ejected from my DVD player in less than 8 minutes

[Sneeka]

The only fault I can think of with Titanic is the dialogue. I think it's an excellent piece of exiting cinema.
It certainly made me exit the cinema ;)

[Jonnyrepp]

I love superhero movies but Batman Begins bored the nads off me.

Also hated The Matrix. Also couldn't sell I-Robot quick enough once I'd sat through as much of the interminable bilge on dvd as I could.

[FightForTheRight]

Rocky IV - nearly two hours of complete drivel IMO :nono::oh-hum::razz:

:eek: Rocky IV's brilliant!

I have to admit that Garden State bored me rigid.

[Fred2002]

Mission to Mars was a complete pile of poo whislt the award for biggest disappointment goes to Reign of Fire, nice poster, just a shame it had absolutely nothing to do with the film.

Also I love watching all the Bond films except the meandering mess that is Octopussy and the dire Die Another Day.

[whotobe]

Mr Deeds

It was just complete rubbish. It was as if Adam Sandler knew it himself so didn't bother wasting his time putting effort in.

The Break Up

Like 2 hours long, yet can be summed up by the title. Wow.

There were 2 or 3 funny lines, and jennifer aniston.

[Island Swing]

The only fault I can think of with Titanic is the dialogue. I think it's an excellent piece of exiting cinema.

You mean the bits of it when there are people talking? ;)

I hated them too :D

[SIMON ADEBISI]

Scary Movie/ epic movie etc
Stigmata :mad: Only time i have ever left the cinema
Dead Or Alive :mad: ( x ) 10000000

[Idle Child]

Alright:

L'Appartament (should have boned the fit one and be done)
Leon (sinister kiddie fiddling undertones yuck)
Spider-man 1 (urgh dull).
Resident Evil series (arghh, how dare he/they/them)

And increasingly.. the extended cuts of the LotR trilogy of films, if only for the horrible, repetitive, constant and unfailing reminder from those dwindling wet hobbits Frodo/Sam/Gollum that "The Ring is a heavy burden to bear" - And so it goes on till you cry with anguish: "I wants my precioussss" - "I dream of the shire and Maggie's tits", etc. It's like it's stuck in an interupting, perpetual loop to agravate you already in a film that 1 hour too long. I understand it's part of the story, but I believe the pacing is so handled poorly.

[Kirs-tea]

Face/Off :mad: I hate this film with a firey passion , I don't if its other peoples fav film , I think it sucks

Same here!!! Awful film! :mad:

I also couldn't stand these films:

Mean Girls
Brick (what the hell was this all about??!! Much ado about **** all!!!!)
Titanic
The Matrix
Saw

:help:

[MrC]

3 words;

Mickey Blue Eyes

Sorry, make that 4

*****

[MrC]

I also couldn't stand these films:

The Matrix

:help:

:lol:

Just posted about this in the 'most boring films' thread. Thought I was the only one :thumbs:

[xraystan]

Alright:

Leon (sinister kiddie fiddling undertones yuck)

Leon and kiddie fiddling undertones? :shrug:

A movie I absolutely hate with a passion and can't understand why it get so much acclaim - Texas Chainsaw Massacre

This also goes for Lord of The Rings. I've only watched about 30 minutes of the whole trilogy, but I feel that qualifies me to say that it's only for :dork:'s who are fans of the books.

[edrch]

I personally cannot stand North, one of Rob Reiner's career low points.

I also dislike strongly An American Werewolf In Paris, primarily because I am such a fan of the immensely superior original.

[MaxNutter]

I Spit on your Grave for its depiction of rape. And yes, it's an exploitation film.

and it's crap ...

[sleep4ever]

Dead Or Alive :mad: ( x ) 10000000

Say it isnt so :eek:

Surely it wasnt that bad?



I liked it in a dumb fun kind of way

[Fred2002]

I also cannot stand the Harry Potter films (Am I alone in this?) sure they are popular with the kids but the standard of writing, let alone acting, plot, etc are utterly appalling.

[Questor]

anything by Guy Ritchie - mockney EDIT with mostly talentless actors trying to be "hard"

[anephric]

Anything with the names "Kevin" and "Smith" in the credits. And The Usual Suspects. Its tricksy, up-its-own-arse sophistry was bad enough without it spawning a legion of miserable imitators (Lucky Number Slevin, Smokin' Aces et al).

[Alan b]

The original Superman films, just can't stand them.

[JimdiGriz]

Love this thread!

Hmmmm top of my head (but there are many many more)...

Titanic
21 Grams
Forrest Gump
Scream (any of them)

(ill remember some more later)

[animatedude]

Hustle & Flow

eww just eww..

[JimdiGriz]

Oh yeah...forgot a major one I hate -

Harry Potter (the first one but I wont watch the rest)

The first hour just made me laugh at how bad it was so much I vowed never to watch any of it again. OK for kids I suppose though

[Flanners]

Looking on my shelves:

Collateral
Changing Lanes
Die Another Day (what were they thinking)
Fantastic 4
Harry Potter (looking on the shelf I have 4 titles, why? Awful
Hulk
Identity
Interpreter
King Kong
Narnia
Royal Tenbaums
Star Wars I, II and III (utter utter utter pathetic crap, a franchise and marketing swindle) Lucas should be ashamed and should never make another film, ever)

Feel better now.

[Wilson]

Star Wars 1,2+3 Absolutely awful, in fact pt2 is on telly now and the acting, to a man/thing is just abysmal. Portman and that other plank of wood are just cringemaking. In fact im going to turn the tv off and just punch myself in the balls for 2 more hours, far more worthwhile.

Made me crease up! To think I even bought these films, crazy, I should join you in the self harming I might have to do it for 4hrs for being so stupid and lining the pockets of a moron.

[Flap]

This also goes for Lord of The Rings. I've only watched about 30 minutes of the whole trilogy, but I feel that qualifies me to say that it's only for :dork:'s who are fans of the books.

I love, LOVE the books, read them all umpteen times. HATED the films :(

[J Wedd]

I also hate Lord of the fuffing Rings. Loathe it. A victory for dodgy CGI hammy acting, and precious little else. Soulsucking crap.

[Quincunx]

Only worth mentioning the ones that many others seem to like:


Independence Day
True Romance
Die Hard 2
Pretty Woman
Shrek 2
The Butterfly Effect
Every Oliver Stone film except Salvador and The Hand
Every Adam Sandler film except Punch Drunk Love
Every Ron Howard film

Susan Sarandon gets on my tits too.



Edit: The first three have been the cause of a few nerdy rows.

[staffyman]

Forrest Gump
Mallrats
Sexy Beast (I don't get the love for this film... Nor Ben Kingsley's 'performance')

[animatedude]

watch the third one only, the rest are crap.pure crap...it amazes me how they always get around 70% over rottentomatoes.

Plus: (in terms of ones that others like)

Gladiator
Master & Commander
Adaptation
Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
Being John Malcovich
The Bourne Supremacy (though I might try again and watch the other 2)

[Zub]

Leon (sinister kiddie fiddling undertones yuck)


I'm sorry but that has to be the biggest woooooooooooosh! I have ever heard!

[Ratfink]

I could list a bunch of stuff no doubt: teen comedies, rom-coms etc.. things like Harry Potter don't even register on my radar.

However, I had hopes for Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, read great things - but not only that, most of my friends loved it. I despised it!!! One overlong, winey, smug, pop promo. I also thought The Science Of Sleep was just as irritating. Not a fan of Michel Gondry, what can I say..

[Kirs-tea]

I'd add the Lord of the Rings films to my hate list too. They're just dull dull dull.... ZZZzzzzzz

[Kirs-tea]

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, read great things - but not only that, most of my friends loved it. I despised it!!! One overlong, winey, smug, pop promo.

Yes, this annoyed me as I really wanted to like it but just couldn't!:nuts: I love Michel Gondry's music videos but this film was just didn't work, it was awful! :oh-hum:

[Gingerdawn]

Can I add.........

Gladiator
Donnie Darko
Napoleon Dynamite

Sorry if these have been mentioned before, I didn't read the whole thread.

[RoboCop4]

Any of the anti-British films, or films in which the English are portrayed as upper class sociapths, that were so popular a few years ago.

Lazy sequels or remakes that ruin the impact of the first/original film(s).

Films with a romantic sub-plot badly shoehorned in, especially if the female charcater subsequently does nothing but mope around talking about "feelings" and getting in the way.

[SIMON ADEBISI]

The Life Aquatic. Hated it. So ****** off as well because Rushmore and The Royal Tanenbaums were so good.

[J Wedd]

Prestige middle-class British films that come out every now and again and are massively hyped, eg, recently, Atonement. Or involve Richard Curtis in any way. I hate these films violently.

[McD]

.

[sleep4ever]

Seeing as I havent contributed yet:

Dudley Do-Right is right up there as the no exageration most wretched film Ive ever had the misfortune to sit through. I should have turned it off after the first 5 minutes (which seemed longer). It has no redeeming features whatsoever, and has made me appreciate every bad film I've sat through since as they will never be as bad as that one.

And Monkeybone

[Wowbagger]

The clear loser for me is The Rocky Horror whatever, though it's at least partially to do with the fact that I was in a full cinema and was one of the very few not dressed like cast members/singing along/timewarping in the aisles. Undoubtedly the most uncomfortable two hours of my life, and the only reasons I didn't run out screaming were a) I was with a gorgeous chick; b) there were 20 Frank N Furters between me and the exit; and c) I suspected they'd locked the doors.

[SIMON ADEBISI]

:lol: I can just imagine you huddled down in your seat :D

[pillima]

Braveheart
The royal Tannenbaums
Days of thunder

Before this post I was convinced you were Dr Mark Kermode, but now I'm convinced otherwise :p

[ace frehley]

Vanilla Sky with tom cruise - thats 2 hours that I'm never getting back

[Ratfink]

:?: :D

Really? I don't follow Mark Kermode's reviews - I couldn't really even tell you what he's into (or not) .. ;)

[aprout]

Soul Survivors: The Killer Cut is the worst film I've ever seen.
Octane is the second worst.

But the only film I truly truly hate is the wretched excuse for 'entertainment' that is Meet the Parents. :razz:

[JimDriver2]

After losing almost 3 hours to it last friday, I can definitely say I hate Southland Tales. It was just utter pretentious drivel.

Can't think of the last time I actually felt that I hated a film, I even saw Rush Hour 3 this year, and that was just annoying and disappointing more than anything.

[mr_woo]

I absolutely detest the Halloween remake, utter utter drivel and I loathe and despise it. It's a Rob Zombie film so let's stick in a redneck, oh I know let's also stick in poorly directed scenes which near enough copy the superior in every way original. Let's also get one of the worst performances I have ever seen from Malcolm McDowell.

Absolute ******** and I wish the Akkads would just **** off with their continuous pilaging of the Halloween name.

[BigH]

pretty much hated Eastern Promises

after reading all the press, thought that Cronenberg had returned to decent film-making after the commercial drivel that History of Violence was

but no - more crap from another director who has very much passed his sell-by date

v disappointed

Plus Superbad - great word of mouth on these forums, and I sort of like these kind of films (A Pie/Harold & Kumar/etc), but this was garbage

[staffyman]

I just remembered how much I hated 'Rancid Aluminium.'

*shudders*

I'd agree, but would include lock stock :D Although I don't hate it per se, i'm no fan of sexy beast either.

[alsemail]

Anything by Terence Malick, The Thin Red Line was bad......and as for The New World, the most dull, poorly scripted film I have ever seen (although the cinematography was beautiful).

[Johnny Vodka]

Vanilla Sky with tom cruise - thats 2 hours that I'm never getting back

That is one awful film.

[BigH]

Anything by Terence Malick, The Thin Red Line was bad......and as for The New World, the most dull, poorly scripted film I have ever seen (although the cinematography was beautiful).

what's wrong with Badlands?

[Gizmo]

Prestige middle-class British films that come out every now and again and are massively hyped, eg, recently, Atonement. Or involve Richard Curtis in any way. I hate these films violently.

I totally agree re Richard Curtis - Love Actually made me want to puke with it's pathetic message and manipulative storyline. Awful. How the guy who wrote Blackadder turned into such a pussy I can't quite fathom.

I really got very little out of the highly-regarded Almost Famous, not many sympathetic or likeable characters so I found it hard to become interested in their fates. It was also over-long and very indulgent.

The Bourne Identity is a film that I found extremely average with mundane performances from the charisma-vacuums that are Matt Damon and Julia Stiles. Clive Owen was **** in this too. To cap my hatred of this film, I detest the fact this series was used by the yanks to berate the Bond movies (same ridiculous hype we heard when the even-more-awful XXX film came out). :razz:

I hope they all puked with envy when the superb Casino Royale came out.....:thumbs:

[ozric99]

Casino Royale ;)

Almost as riveting as watching reruns of The World Series of Poker on ESPN.

Do you rate the Bourne films more, out of interest?

[animatedude]

Serenity

what the fuss is all about?! Joss Whedon is a hack.why do ppl always forget that he is the one who ruined the Alien series?

[staffyman]

Joss Whedon is a hack.why do ppl always forget that he is the one who ruined the Alien series?

Joss Whedon's said that they more or less ruined his script during production. I'd be more inclined to lay the blame at the director's feet and also the Fox execs, who turned the movie into a live action cartoon full of inappropriate sight gags (Dan Hedaya's brain being one example), cast Winona Ryder, and threw in the rubbish Alien baby for good measure.

The theatrical version of Alien 3 is a bit of a mess also that is redeemed a fair bit in the longer version on the DVD.

[Mr Majestik]

Serenity

Joss Whedon is a hack.

Wish more hacks could come up with stuff like Toy story and Speed.

[JimDriver2]

Oh dear, you've annoyed the Whedon fans, never a good move, they take that stuff personally...

[Andy]

watch the third one only, the rest are crap.pure crap...it amazes me how they always get around 70% over rottentomatoes.

Er, because other people happen to like them?

[ozric99]

Do you rate the Bourne films more, out of interest?

Absolutely. Bond movies are supposed to be fun and stupid. Casino Royale was like watching paint dry - they went for gritty realism but ended up with sedate tedium.

[H Dot]

I hated AI and K19 widowmaker thats 5hrs I never getting back

[staffyman]

Oh dear, you've annoyed the Whedon fans, never a good move, they take that stuff personally...

:D

Don't worry, I'm not that bad. Having never seen the original script I can't say what it would have been if they'd stuck to it (and we've only his opinion that the resultant mess is not representative of his work), but I just think it's a bit of a stretch to lay it all on the scriptwriter when just about everything stank on that film. However Animatdude is known for his hyperbole so it was probably not worth the reply.

[nwgarratt]

Another vote for Casino Royale. It is perhaps my biggest disappointment in a film ever (actually that goes to Beverly Hills Cop III after the fun first two).

I can also include any films with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in them as well.

[ozric99]

I can also include any films with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in them as well.

Oh god, absolutely. I can't think of a single movie he's been in that hasn't been utter *****. Of course, excluding The Lair of the White Worm which is so bad it's good :lol:
