Films that you regret watching

[Skillswords]

Simple, the Avatar the last airbender movie was a horrid movie for butchering a series known for strong messages on life and civilization coated with clever humor and making it bland and insubstantial.

next was Adam Sandler's Funny people, for having nothing but cheap toilet humor and trying to sell it as a movie. Mentioning the male genitals is not comedy, it's just being childish.

 

[Sindaine]

Echoing the Napolean Dynamite hate. My senior-year English class watched it and afterwards had to write a persuasive essay on it--mine was literally titled 'Why This Movie Sucked'.

Let's seeee....Knowing pissed me off at the end; they'd set it up to be a cool sci-fi, and then ruined it at the last minute with retarded religious crap.

Black Swan was really terrible; it might as well have been titled 'Natalie Portman Cries and Masturbates, also OW!'

The only thing I can think of is The Last Airbender.

As an adaptation it was poorly paced and badly told. An example would be when the gang reaches the Water bending kingdom to the north. When they meet the princess, Katara, who narrates the story, states that Sokka and the Princess became fast friends, and all that happened was the two just looked at each other for a few seconds.

As a movie, it just wasn't good at all. The story was rushed, the special effects aren't very good, characters were underdeveloped, it was just bad all around.

Also I remember watching this one dubbed foreign film that had a girl with a chainsaw on the cover. I don't remember what it was called, but my mother and I were scared by how visceral and violent it was, even for a slasher film. We couldn't get past to when the mom gasped for air despite the fact her throat was slit.

Needles to say, I didn't get very much sleep that night.

I don't think there is any movie that I regret watching, everything is worth a shot atleast.. I do however deeply regret that I re-watched Watership Down because of some thread here on the Escapist.. It broke me down in ways I never thought imaginable..
I really like the movie but, damn, it scarred me as a child and I stand by that it made me cry when I watched it again this winter.

Oh god, that movie scared the hell outta me when I was little. Especially that one scene where one rabbit was describing how the rabbits were getting trapped within their homes by the humans and suffocating to death. Makes me feel all claustrophobic just thinking about it. >_<

 

[GonzoGamer]

Highlander 2. Should've stopped at 1.

Metropolitan; it's about a bunch of trust fund preppies who do nothing but go to lame pretentious parties. It's a total waste of time.

and Spiderman 2 "I dont want to be Spiderman." whiny *****.

 

[Don Savik]

Trolls 2. My friend got it on Bluray because hey, its apparently the best worst movie ever. I mean, it made me laugh at some parts (they're eating her! and then they're going to eat me!), but 95% of it was brain-drain. It was awwwwfuuuuuulllll. Whoever makes these stupid "cult classics" needs to just stop. I'm all for indie films, and I can understand that cult classics are hard to judge before you release them, but seriously.....just....stop. The human mind can only take so much punishment. All these crappy sci-fi monster battle movies with terrible acting and cgi, and all these gross and fucked up horror/slasher/porn movies for the sake of pleasing a few mentally disturbed fucks, and all these boring pretentious boring and long and boring artsy films about some depressed guy.

By the power of all humanity I beg you to stop.

A DOUBLE DECKER BOLONGA SANDWHICH!!!!!!!!!! Thats a great movie XD

I think the popcorn scene was the moment where my mind just exploded. I was hysterical the rest of the movie after that. Who reads that in a script and goes "yea thats totally legit for a movie about trolls". The 90's man.......wtf.

 

[TheNaut131]

Chernobyl Diaries

I went with a friend (who worked there, so free tickets) and I still felt ripped off.

After it, we just spent the whole ride home saying how bad it is.

If you want to know more in detail why it's so bad, ask away.

I'm actually quite interested in knowing why it's bad and I already have a few ideas as to why it might be bad, but I want to hear from the horse's mouth as to why it's so terrible.

OT:...probably Disaster Movie.(An appropriate title, don't you think?) Seriously, fuck that movie and all the other parody-no! Fuck all the reference movies!

You see, Scary Movie 1 was relatively alright because it was a parody. It stuck to one movie, Scream, simply parodying and exaggerating aspects of the movie while also relying on it's own type of humor. Everything after that descended into horribly paced movies with badly placed references and shitty gags.

 

[WaysideMaze]

Napoleon Dynamite.

God, was it unfunny. Those hours of my life were wasted. I want to sue.

I stuck with it. After everyone raved about it, I thought, 'This has to get better. Surely there is just one joke in this piece of shit that justifies my time.'

They owe me that time. I will find a way to harvest time from that films creators, and they will pay.

 

[=y]

But that movie and its predecessor, Megashark vs Giant Octopus, are incredibly good fun. They're meant to be mocked. All you gotta do is watch it with some friends. Hilarity ensues. I can't tell you how often my friends and I quote these movies and the jokes we made whilst watching them.

Sorry but my friends hated it too. We must not have your sense of humor.

 

[BartyMae]

I watched (most of) the new(er) Alice In Wonderland recently. What a terrible movie to sit through. I comforted myself by watching the original.

A DOUBLE DECKER BOLONGA SANDWHICH!!!!!!!!!! Thats a great movie XD

He's just mad because his mom got eaten by dwarves in potato sacks and the movie brought flashbacks.

 

[Dangit2019]

Hmm....probably Scott Pilgrim vs The World. While I wouldn't necessarily call it "bad" I was severely let down after the massive hyping it got.
*coughmoviebobcough*

I, being a fan of the movie, thought moviebob was being a bit hyperbolic myself. He was reviewing it like it was a Casablanca-scale depiction of human relationships when all it was was a charming comic adaptation.

The movie was never suppose to be about trolls, the movie was called goblin but they changed the title to trolls 2 when it came to America XD

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I know it might be cliche, but really....Transformers 3. One and Two kinda hit that spot where they're still fun to make fun of, so I don't really mind them as MUCH, but Jesus Fucking Christ....The third one is just....Taxing. In many ways.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

and Spiderman 2 "I dont want to be Spiderman." whiny *****.

As for Highlander, I'll sum it up simply: There can be only one!

As for Spider-Man 2, I'll just leave you with this: I disagree, and I think you are being a wee bit judgmental about a film that is based around him getting comfortable with the responsibility he bears.

 

[Dangit2019]

No, never again.

Oh dear god, me and my friend coincidentally watched MSvs.GO on Netflix last night. We were having a casual conversation, and were quickly getting bored with the movie; and then the shark jumped out of the water and ate a plane. All in horrible effects. We laughed for 5 minutes straight.

Yeah, I watched the whole documentary on it. The director of it was absolutely delusional, but not as much as the women who played the mother. She went on and on about how Troll 2 was essentially just as good as Casablanca.

 

[MalkavianLunatic]

To this day, the only movie I've walked out on and would happily jab my eyes out with a soda straw if I had to see it again is "Dude, Where's My Car".

Coming in a close second? "White Chicks".

 

[jklinders]

The Spirit.

I was warned, but I just had to watch that turd anyway.

I don't know which was worse, how badly Sam L Jackson phoned it in or how hard everyone else was trying but blech.

capcha: stranger danger

yes yes indeed stay away from the strange movies.

 

[Dangit2019]

Tideland, I should have left when the director of the film came out before it started and pleaded with the audience to give the movie a chance.

Horrible, horrible piece of pretentious indie film garbage.

I watched the intro, and something strikes me as downright disgusting when a director comes towards the future audience and basically says:

"Hey, I know that you'll probably hate every part of this film, but I just want to let you know that if you do, it means you're a horrible, cynical, douchebag who can't even comprehend innocence. If you hate it, it absolutely makes you an emotionless robot. Thank you, and enjoy the film."
