Thanks it helps to know it's name so I can avoid it like the plagueBNguyen said:
The Marine, it felt like an insult to my intelligence. I was able to laugh at how bad it was. But the reminder that people happily made this movie and expected people to pay money for it just made me depressed.
Ahhahah I love that movie. I can't believe someone let a 4 year old see it. Being so young would probably ruin it for anyone.SkarKrow said:KingHodor said:Thanks it helps to know it's name so I can avoid it like the plagueBNguyen said:
I guess I could say salt. When I saw it in theaters I was trying to fall asleep. I sadly didn't and it kinda got a little interesting in the middle. My gosh was it just a bit confusing though.
Superbad. I really hated that film. Totally unfunny, and yet all my mates seemed to love it. I like Michael Cera, and Emma Stone, but NONE of it made me laugh.
The Grudge - probably the most disappointing horror movie I have ever seen.
The movie starts off with an intriguing enough premise, carried by a great cast, and builds a lot of tension that makes you itching to find out what the hell is going on. And then.. silly ghosts start killing people in extremely awkward ways. What?
Cloverfield - hey, you know what's cool? Godzilla. You know what else is cool? The Blair Witch Project. You know what would be the coolest thing ever? If we combined them together!
That's pretty much the thought process behind Cloverfield, and it really shows. The movie does nothing right. It's not a survival movie, it's not a monster movie, and it sure as shit is not a horror movie. Oh, and the characters are absolutely obnoxious.
Hostel - I'll be honest here, the only reason I even watched this piece of turd was because I heard Tarantino had something to do with it. I was expecting some badass horror movie, and instead, what I got, was some gore porn.
Cannibal Holocaust - don't watch this movie. Don't even give it the privilege of reading what it's about. Just forget it exists.
Avatar - ah yes, James Cameron's blue alien fantasy.
I remember when the first trailers for this movie came out, everyone on the internet made fun of it, and thought that the once great Cameron had gone senile or something. A couple of months later, the movie is released, and it becomes one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Suffice it to say, the jokes weren't that funny anymore.
This is one of those movies that I had absolutely no intention of seeing, but because of its ridiculous popularity, I eventually gave in and watched it anyway, just to see what the fuss was all about.
For all its popularity and acclaim, Avatar is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen in my life. Never before have I been so completely disinterested in what was going on in a movie, that I literally almost fell asleep, right in the middle of its climax. I could go on about how the story is cliche, the characters are one dimensional, the pacing is weird, and so on, but really, I think the fact that it almost made fall asleep says it all.

If I said "The Avengers" would it cause people to be mad? :3 But seriously the movie pissed me off so often with how the heroes would always survive. Also wtf the aliens were so dumb and non threatening I just wanted to facepalm. This "super alien army" armed with with laser rifles couldn't even kill some chick with two pistols. God. I was rooting for Loki to somehow pull a win out of his ass but honestly I knew he was doomed when it was just him up against like 5 superheroes. :| Also why Loki didn't just wtfpwn everyone with his OP as fuck "stick of destiny" I don't know. I just want the bad guy to win for once D:
.... maybe if I wanted to see the bad guys win I shouldn't have gone to see a movie based on Superheroes...?
Flying airship pissed me off as well. Such a dumb idea I'm glad the bad guys blew it up. Well they tried I suppose... somehow the thing can fly with just one engine apparently? *Sigh*
ALSO. Hulk is OP, if only he was the bad guy it would be GG good guys. The Hulk single handled (literally) destroyed Loki. Thor's got nothing on that shit. Additionally why did he rage-mode and try kill that Widow chick in the flying airship but suddenly when the aliens invade he is all pals with them? Another thing, how did Thor survive that fall from the pod? Fury said that it would kill Loki but Thor just jumps out of it and he don't give a fuck so wow yeah that's got to the dumbest "kill device" ever.
Usually I can overlook small plot things and what not such as the above. I did it for Avatar, Transformers, CoD and many other medias. The amount of hype on this movie led me to have high expectation though which ultimately led to me judging it harshly.

4 pages in and still no one has mentioned it?LiberalSquirrel said:
Very well, You guys don't know what truly awful movies are.
BUCKY LARSON!! The most disgustingly horrenduous time wasting vat of skunk piss to ever hit the cinema screens which, thankfully disappeared just as quickly as it "came" ( no pun intended)
The Hottie And The Nottie.
The FUCKING BRATZ movie!!
Fucking JACK AND JILL!!!!
The Dungeons and Dragons Movie! (Yes there is one)
After Last Season!
Seriously? Eragon? Napoleon Dynamite? Due Date? Transformers?
Oh please...
You guys are so soft, you have not witnessed the horrors that I endured.
The Last Airbender I'm torn on, on one hand it's absolutely horrid to the core, on the other, it's what made me discover the awesome tv show, so in the end something good came out of it.
I think I remember watching one really bad film round my friends' house: Sharkboy & Lavagirl, that film with Taylor Lautner in it.
I understand what you mean by the acting, though. But it's much more tolerable than others (I'm looking at you, Kristen Stewart). I mean, they were only kids when they started out, and after they'd been thrust into the limelight, they didn't have much time to explore their acting abilities in anything other than what had sufficed in the Harry Potter films so long.
Anyway, just read the books. They're much better.
Oh, you fucking went there.FamoFunk said:

"Believe it or not, im walking on air, i never thought i could feel so free, Flyin away on a wing and a pray'r, who could it be? believe it or not, its just me"TheKasp said:
him and NC are my favs xD
OT: another bad movie i have seen would be dragon wars d-war
Traffic.
We developed a colour-aversion about halfway through, and before the movie was over we went pretty much completely insane and came out with a severe case of misanthropy.
It pretty much also ruined any and all sex appeal of Benicio del Toro for me. They're all just blue and yellow bastards to me now.
Oh, and I gave the DVD away - to someone I decidedly do not like.
