Miami Vice - I watched it a few months ago and by the end I was just sort of staring at the screen, mouth agape; not because I couldn't follow the plot but because there was next to no plot to follow and the whole thing ended on completely nothing. The entire film was literally pointless.
Also, Little Fockers, just because I watched it last night and out of all the painfully blatant cash-in sequels this was probably the worst I've ever seen. It had a plot that would have been thrown out of an OC script-writers session and they forgot to add in some jokes before all the actors --who really should know better-- got done cashing their cheques.

Well I did saw it when I was like 14 years old. It didn't exactly scared me or anything, but that exact same scene did disturbed me a bit, but I paid no attention to it and the sound the ghost made sounded a lot like when you run a pick through a metalic electric guitar string, so I associated that guttural sound with that. Still, I watched it at midnight just before sleeping, and next thing you know, I'm screaming in terror.BNguyen said:
I hated that movie so much. First of all, no dwarves at ALL. The replacement for the king of dwarves is a black guy (who isnt a king, just a resistance leader). The urgals aren't uruk-hai-like monsters, but men with war paint on their faces. If you can't even get the fucking bad guys right in your fantasy movie.......wtf........samaugsch said:
The shade was described as having blue skin, red hair, sharpened teeth and claws. What did we get? Some crazy old evil wizard guy that rode a smoke dragon for some reason because the first book didn't have any big dragon fights.
Did the movie even have elves? I mean, I liked the books, I read them all. They can get a bit slow sometimes like all fantasy novels, but considering he was 17 when he started them, its a pretty good series. He put a lot of time into the races cultures and languages, making them unique........and the movies just shit all over that because, idk, budget? because removing nerdy lore and fantasy elements makes for a lower common denominator audience hence more money? NNNNNRRRGGGGHHHHHH ALL MAH RAGE.
Battleship- a shitty movie in which you could tell the whole story quite accurately by only watching the trailer + first five mins of the actual movie.The actors did a horrible job, it was terribly boring and a lot of the scenes had the hollywood brush about them, the " there is no fucking way this would happen in real life" thing (besides the aliens i mean). The motivation of the baddies was lifted from Battle LA (that sucked too), and they just tagged the name of a famous board game (?) for marketing reasons.

I just watched Prometheus. It was shit.
It has an unfocussed, shallow and pretentious narrative with no engaging characters. The movie is at its best only when it is imitating the films it is meant to be a prequel to. The visuals are stunning, but visuals don't make a movie. Not even Michael Fassbender could save this pedantic piece of poop.

Funny I should just now see this thread, considering what I just watched.
I just watched Hellraiser: Revelations.
First off, ever since the 2nd movie (save for #4, which was actually pretty decent), the only redeeming quality of the Hellraiser franchise has been Doug Bradley's stellar performance as Pinhead. Even when his motives were dumbed way down to "WORLD DOMINATION!", Mr. Bradley's sheer voice and image made the other crap (and believe me, there was A LOT OF CRAP) almost bearable. Except for Hellworld, which I firmly believe to be designed only to afflict the mental trauma you'd experience if you were actually, you know, turned into a horribly disfigured immortal surgeon.
Without Bradley, this new movie was literally painful. The new guy who plays Pinhead looks like he's not sure what he's supposed to be doing, and all of the other non-cenobite characters literally make me want to claw at my own face.
You know the whole thing with Frank in the first movie? Well, imagine that, but if it was done really briefly, and replacing creepy-voiced Frank with some guy who belongs on Jersey Shore. Literally, this guy kills a hooker and then the skinless idiot crawls out and says "HER BLOOD BROUGHT ME BACK. GO GET ME SOME MORE." in the same tone you'd request your friend to go get you a beer.
In fact, I'm going to stop now. If I were to write down every reason why I hated that movie, then I'd probably fill half of the page.
Clive Barker says that in his new novel, he's going to kill off Pinhead in a way that will hopefully make sure that nobody wants to make anything about him ever again. 2 problems, Mr. Barker; 1, the idiots who make these movies probably won't read books, and 2, he's already been disgraced by being put in more crappy sequels than I can count.

Cashback.
That movie was so incredibly awful that, frankly, it was embarrassing. It starts off sort of as a Fight Club pastiche then it pretty much turns into a complete cornfest. The plot is painfully uninteresting as well. It sort of starts like "oh this might be interesting" then halfway through "wow pretty insipid" and finally "man that was pretty bad." Most bad movies I just forget about but, in retrospect, the movie is 10 times worse than I remember and therefore it is one of the only movies I legitimately regret seeing.

I went to the senak preview in the cinema. When I saw the title appear, I IMDBed it on my phone, I saw the 4,5 and I knew I was in for a treat. What a horrible movie, the plot recycles itself three times and the acting is horrible. The ending is teethgrindingly BAD.
Even so, I made some pretty good audioreviews about how bad that movie was, AND it set a new low, so to say I regret seeing it...
I agree with White Chicks being embarrassingly bad, the worst part of it is that one day, when I was travelling by train, I heard two women talk about it; describing it as a hilarious movie with two black guys who have to act like white, well, chicks. NO! IT IS NOT, NOT FUNNY! Bah.
The Box, 2009 is also an example of a movie that doesn't know what kind of it movie it wants to be, the story gets turned upside down into a SF movie with 'scary moral questions' Fuck off, terrible.
And A Serbian Film wasn't THAT bad, it just did what it had to do; it set a standard for taboo movies.
And I wanted to stop after this movie, but wait one minute: The Human Centipede II
Yes, part two, it makes part one good :S
It's about a disfigured gnome who is inspired by The human centipede I (yes, it's THAT unoriginal), so he tries to imitate the movie by making a human centipede himself. Oh yeah, it's in black and white for that 'campy' feeling. Just don't see it.

Johnny English 2.
Dear goodness me it was shit, the writing is basically every cliche spy movie plot horrifyingly stitched together in one dripping, drooling monstrosity. The film played out so damn predictably that you keep thinking "yep, I can see where this is going next, yep I thought so, there's probably going to be some chase scenes after this, oh look I was right" to name but ONE example.

I liked it! Or, "liked" is the wrong word, but I definitely thought it was worth watching. The experience of wathing it was horrible though; the rape scenes and the violence had me squirming. In no way did I think it was a bad film though.TizzytheTormentor said:
Omg, I couldn't agree more -_-' I mean, I thought the first one was kinda crappy, but AvP requiem just took shittiness to a whole new level. Hate, hate, hate!Bitter Hobbit said:
Paranormal Activity. What an anticlimax, I've seen better acting in a porno plus when at the end of the movie when the ending I saw coming from a mile away happened I laughed. Whats worse is that they made three of the bloody things.
Human centipede. Oh look she's eating poo that's nasty. That was the movies only purpose to make me feel sick. It didn't help that I didn't have any German subtitles.
