Movies You Thought You'd Like but Hated

[PapaG]

Gangster Squad. Turned it off with about 45 minutes left. Expected it to be a fun gangster flick. How do you screw up a gangster flick? Watch this dud to find out why.

Ang Lee's Hulk. So, so bad. Again, how do you mess up the Hulk? You make a terrible CGI version and have almost no plot.

I was literally waiting until that movie ended so I could turn on House Hunters International to scrub my brain of a formulated plot.

Saw a bit of it on HBO. Didn't make it through the end.

Little Miss Sunshine

I must have missed the memo on why this was a good movie. It has thankfully disappeared down the memory hole.

Highlander 2: The Quickening

Probably the worst movie I've even seen in a theater. My friends and I were so amped for it, yet suddenly the immortals are exiled aliens to earth (how is becoming immortal on earth a penalty when you were mortal on the home planet), and Sean Connery's somehow not dead.

If you're going to resurrect an immortal, how about Kurgan? At least he was interesting.

Phantom Menace.

Phantom Menace.

I've literally not watched any of the prequels more than once. Hayden Christianson was just so, so horrific, and Jar Jar Binks was even worse than the robot in Rocky IV, because I remember Jar Jar Binks.

Rocky V

 

[santeesioux]

Phantom Menace.

the 2nd one wasn't bad, but the 3rd one was the best of the 3.

The first one? I saw it in the theaters and have not watched it since. I still want my money back.

 

[TripTango]

Prometheus.

Prometheus.

It was okay. I do plan on seeing the sequel when it comes out.

 

[Run BJM]

Sin City.

And yeah, Gangster Squad was hot garbage.

Anchorman and Napoleon Dynamite.

Anchorman and Napoleon Dynamite.

Anchorman was better on the 2nd viewing. I still don't understand why I was supposed to like Napoleon Dynamite, though. Other than the dance scene on stage, it was boring to me. My brother and his wife love that movie, though.

It took me watching Anchorman 3 times to start liking it (and have about 7 years between viewings 2 and 3 helped).

As for Napoleon, Im not sure why. It had funny bits.

Yeah, but the hype around Dynamite was way overblown. I made it through the entire movie, but I was expecting to be clutching my sides laughing based on the buzz. Instead, I get a semi-retarded main character, a stereotypical Hispanic in a white town, a ridiculous brother, and an uncle living in a trailer. It was like a bad Beavis and Butthead episode, only without the good music.

Lord of the Rings.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Citizen Kane.

 

[NOVoodoo]

If we're talking about relatively recent movies, J. Edgar has a great cast and a seductive trailer, but it might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Also, wouldn't say I "hated" Resevoir Dogs, but I saw it two decades after its release, and by then it had been hyped up to me by enough people that I expected a lot more.

 

[NOVoodoo]

Also, was anyone else disappointed with the ending of Resevoir Dogs? That's what made the movie for a lot of people I know, but it spoiled it for me.

Every time I bring it up, I get shat on, but it just seemed like the sort of ending I'd have as a six year old kid playing with toy soldiers... everyone dies... maybe?!

 

[Run BJM]

Reservoir Dogs is dope.

Raising Arizona a classic? Uhhhh hell no. And Millers Crossing was weak shit too.

omg, me too! Well, not the 15 or 16 part. I tried watching it about 5-8 years ago and just couldn't get into it (outside of a few scenes, and the sound track).
