Films that you regret watching

[CrimsonBlaze]

D.E.B.S.

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!
Do not even give this movie traffic on google. It is bad; it is just plain bad. The quotes/attitude displayed on the movie cover are completely wrong because none of the characters talk like bimbos and they are not slick spy agents, as the film would have you believe. It is a half-ass, crappy spy comedy about a lesbian romance between two mortal enemies that are ordered to kill each other and instead fall in love with each other. The critics were either completely stoned or bribed out the ass when they watched it and gave it any kind of criticism other that it flat out sucked.

Before you say anything, no, it is not sexually explicit in any way.

This is literally the first movie that I have ever got up and stopped watching it because of how incredibly bad it was (and I watched Couple's Retreat, though I will admit that I dozzed off from time to time on how boring it was!).

The second one was Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

The reason being that Sam does a complete 180 in terms of his character; in the previous film, he wanted the Autobots to leave him alone so that he can live a normal life, so the Autobots did. At the beginning of the film, he realized that he's not hot s*** anymore, so he wants to be a hero and rejoin the Autobots.

Then, the first hour of the movie consists heavily of the government acting shady and people getting killed off by Minicons of the Decepticon variety. Although I had to return it, meanign I didn't finish watching it, I was pretty fed up with the movie at that point. Any movie that you cannot comfortable watch in its entirety, without having to cut out about half of the movie, is not a good movie, period.

Titanic, I felt like someone stole 3 hours of my life and I even watched it on television. It was like watching some horrible accident, repulsed and at the same time unable to look away -_-

 

[moopig66]

Battleship... So bad

 

[TKretts3]

Fear Dot Com.
It was just so gosh darn boring. It was essentially a cheap knock-off of the Ring, except nothing really happened. It was confusing as heck and the film always had this weird look to it that made it hard to watch and tiring.

 

[Pompey71]

A Serbian Film. Ghastly, obscene, unnecessary and an affront to civilized people. Shame on them.

 

[templar1138a]

One film I had absolutely no interest in seeing was "The Hangover." But then while I was visiting my fiancée, her family had gotten it in the mail via Netflix. They decided to watch it, so in order to not be antisocial, I had to sit and watch it with them.

When it was over, everyone else was doubled-over and had perma-grins. I was asked what I thought, and I stated honestly and with a straight (if not stern) face, "That movie was just as terrible as I was expecting it to be and I want those ninety-odd minutes of my life back." If I didn't know my fiancée as well as I did to know she had more than enough redeeming qualities, I would have seriously reconsidered the relationship.

And ever since, I have refused to see any "comedy" movie with Zach Galifianakus. He gives us Jack Black lookalikes a bad name.

 

[Mysterious Username]

A Clockwork Orange.

Oh, I didn't hate it or anything. It's my favorite movie. The thing is, though, it's pretty much the only thing I can think about anymore.

Heh, I remember when I saw that. It really is a great film, but boy does it make it's point in the graphic ways possible.

 

[TKretts3]

The Road. I expected a sort of awesome Fallout-y, Book of Eli-y film with action and dead raiders. What I got was a depressing film about a douchebag who does nothing but moan and contemplate suicide.

Worst film ever.

You would hate Waiting for Godot.

 

[Nerexor]

The Eragon Movie: This film took a mediocre novel and did everything they could to make it terrible. At least I got to watch it with friends and we had a blast riffing on it.

Transformers 2. Lame plot, annoying characters, Michael Bay?s weird focus on dogs having sex in scenes for no reason, and TRANSFORMER TESTICLES! JUVENILE BULLSHIT!

DOA: Dead or Alive. This only kind of counts because I didn?t watch all of it. This film was so bad that it couldn?t even do fanservice properly. I changed the channel during a scene of them climbing ladders and grunting far too much for that level of exertion (they were clearly trying to make it sound sexy? and failing miserably) because it was just so terribly ridiculous.

Highlander 2: Hey guys, let?s take the entire concept of what Highlander is and MAKE IT ABOUT ALIENS for no reason. (Kind of like what Michael Bay is planning on doing to TMNT) And that?s just the start? IT GETS WORSE FROM THERE!

The Room. This film is the worst. It?s like a college film project gone horribly wrong, only everyone is taking it seriously. The only thing that makes this bearable is to watch it in a theater full of people all making fun of it at the same time. And there is a theater near me that does that (with Tommy Wiseau occasionally there to witness us mocking his failure). They even provide an instruction manual:
http://bank.mayfairtheatre.ca/current-schedule/are-you-prepared-to-enter-the-room/

X-Men 3: It?s the third installment of the awesome X-Men movies at last! This is going to be awe? Awww shit what is this crap?! I have never been so disappointed by a film. I?ve gone in to films suspecting they would be bad, I?ve gone into films thinking they might be decent, but I?ve rarely gone into a film so hopeful and emerged so disappointed.

 

[tyriless]

So mine is a little more complicated, but the movie I regret watching the most is The Godfather.


I think I'd have to say Blade Runner for similar reasons. I watched the 2007 cut, which is apparently a good one and, well... fuck. I have never been so bored. This coming from someone who loves The Assassination of Jesse James, and who quite enjoyed The Tree of Life.

I mean, there are parts that make no sense whatsoever, especially the relationship between Deckard and whatever the woman's name was, although I could have missed any actual build-up due to being entirely uninterested. I think the best description I've seen of it is something along the lines of: 'every scene has 6 pieces of subtext, but no actual text'. In terms of 'layering' it felt extremely uneven.

Should have been my kind of film too: philosophical and a Sci-Fi.

I felt the same way too. I remember watching Blade Runner in my childhood and my teens and absolutely loving it. In it's defense there is a lot to love Rutger Howard, the soundtrack, the atmosphere, and the themes on the meaning humanity.

Unfortunately, the film also drags its feet. It has tons lot of plodding scenes that go nowhere and it is filled with shots that exist way longer than necessary. However, the worst part is the "love story". What Deckard does to Rachel is borderline rape, but it's supposedly ok cause she ain't human. ICK

 

[spacepope]

Yeah, I have to go with Napoleon Dynamite as well. I usually like weird, offbeat, humor, but the jokes fell flat for me, and just found myself bored and uninterested in general.

 

[Lovely Mixture]

Lesser known movie example, The Cave. It had a cool opening and that was it, shit all the way through. Worst horror movie I've seen.

Well known movie example, Avatar. First time I would have ever considered asking for my money back (not that I asked for it).

 

[Nimzabaat]

Dungeons and Dragons, a film I went to see with several other friends of mine, as we were currently playing D&D. There's a couple hours of my life I'll never get back.
Runners up:
Prince of Persia
The Expendables
Aliens vs Predator (I saw it for free and still felt I was overcharged.)
Spider-Man 3
Transformers (Some people liked it. I wasn't them.)
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

FYI The second Dungeons and Dragons movie was a lot better. Still not... good... but better.

I'll throw in votes for Napolean Dynamite, Freddy Got Fingered, Battle Los Angeles, Battlefield Earth, Anything Uwe Boll has ever done, Any of the "Date Movie", "Disaster Movie" etc...

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

Lesser known movie example, The Cave. It had a cool opening and that was it, shit all the way through. Worst horror movie I've seen.

Ugh. Yeah. I saw that one in theaters, too.

It was a case of a whole bunch of friends, a whole bunch of boredom, and "The Cave" being the only movie with a late enough start time that we'd be able to get to it without missing anything.

In retrospect, I wish we'd missed everything.

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.

first of all, Loki is a character with severe narcisism and wants the heroes to bow before him that is why he doesn't outright kill them
secondly, the ship wasn't flying with only one rotor, it was temporarily lost use of one
Third, I'm just guessing that the aliens weren't prepared for such close-quarters combat
fourth, Thor survived because he broke out of the pod, it wasn't meant to kill Loki, it was the Hulk's container
it seems to me that you overlooked a lot of details that they gave[/quote]

I wouldn't say I overlooked details, more so they didn't explain it too well.

I can understand Loki's problem with not killing people, it seems to be a common trait in villains.
Wasn't there a part of the movie where the Hawk used some kind of device to hack into the ships computer and shut down all of the rotors bar the one Ironman was manually rotating?
This was honestly the biggest downer of me, how weak the aliens were. Even there big flying monsters weren't that strong. It just seems that if they were such a powerful and advanced fighting force maybe they would have done a little recon of their enemies beforehand.
Didn't Fury say to Loki when he was first inside something along the lines of "They say you are immortal...maybe not so when you are dropped 30,000 feet"? What I got from that conversation was that Fury thought that his prison cell would be able to kill or seriously harm Loki.

Sorry if I come across as aggressive btw.. I'm honestly curious about these little things.

The Aliens had no real knowledge of Earth except from what Loki told them. Loki didn't hold humans in any sort of high regard so he may have undersold us.

 

[Nimzabaat]

Almost forgot Deathproof. That was such a dissappointing movie. Tarantino introduce us to a bunch of incredibly annoying women and then kills them (well after about an hour of.... nothing, just banter, not good banter, not watchable banter, I wanted them all dead within the first five minutes kind of banter). Then in comes an even more annoying group and they get away? I swore off Tarantino movies after watching Deathproof. I have heard things about Inglorious Basterds but a vow is a vow.

Captcha: send packing

That's right Quentin, we are done.

 

[Yotora]

Hot Rod

Ugh, that was such a crap movie xD it just reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite, but worst... The only funny scene was the "cool beans" scene albeit a bit random

I don't remember Hawk using any sort of device, I just remember the C4 arrow and his infiltration. Fury pretty much held down the control center.
Plus, it would seem that the aliens are weak because it is implied that they were stuck wherever Loki met with them, otherwise they wouldn't need Loki to get the cube, instead, if they were such a powerful army then they could easily invade at anytime. Besides, even Thor doesn't believe that he and his kind are immortal, rather, he says it was humans who came up with that notion, which is why they can be so easily hurt when fighting each other.
Another point on the aliens - there were also not immortal and they were under prepared for taking on a powerful opponent, so when your opponent discovers the hole in your defense then it ceases to be a defense and instead more of a liability which is why they were easily beaten, the only advantage they had was their superior numbers, the ability to fly and Loki

 

[[REDACTED]]

Bridesmaids.
Dear fucking God, Bridesmaids. The protagonist was so unlikable as to make me hate every other character by proxy. She's petty, cruel, obnoxious and worst of all, everyone forgives her. She's narcissistic, but not in a funny way The film's occasional attempts to make her sympathetic are a lost cause, and give the unpleasant impression that the filmmakers expect us to find her antics adorable. They're not. They're excruciating.
Also: NONE OF THE JOKES ARE FUNNY. NONE.
