Movies you found were incredibly hard to watch

[Mondai Randy]

The Expendables - I expected more from it , seeing as the cast was badass , but there was barely any action (aside from Jason and Stallone).

Blade Runner - Enjoyed the beginning , then it got to What the Fuck for me

Waterworld - I liked it as a kid , but now , just plain horrible

I'm 21. The person who suggested the film to me completely understood why I didn't particularly like the movie. I don't doubt that it's a bad film, it's just for me there was too much in too long of a movie. I'm not too interested in philosophical movies like that.

Crank 2. That movie felt like I was having a seizure and not an enjoyable one. The fact that this movie exists and people paid to see it and it was a success saddens me to no end. I'm very surprised Statham had a career after it, it was that bad.

Each to their own I guess, but me and a couple other friends fucking loved that film. It's basically a live-action cartoon for adults.

And to be fair, the movie was a breath of fresh air for some people. Because I don't know about you, but I can get easily bored of straight white American serious action men pulling heists and double crossings and swinging on ropes and doing other re-hashed bullshit from the past 20 years. Don't get me wrong, sometimes these films are good for easy, simple amusement and a lads night in and such, but I felt that the writer/directors of crank genuinely put some thought into it. Alps, Godzilla fight.

OT: Watching Erasherhead was quite difficult considering it's disturbing nature, but in the end I felt a better person having seen it.

I like live-action cartoons as much as the next guy, I mean I love Jim Carrey, but if you're gonna make an over-the-top action movie at least make it watchable. I mean the rapidly shifting camera and the COMPLETELY unlikabe characters just made it too hard to watch. Crank 1 was okay, I'd watch it again, but Crank 2 was starting to make me ill to watch. If I want live-action cartoons I'll watch a good Jackie Chan or old Schwarzenegger like Commando or something.

The Last Airbender managed to ruin one of my favorite characters from the show, Sokka. Not to mention how the entire movie was just exposition. And why the hell couldn't fire benders generate their own fire!? Hopefully they won't make a sequel, I couldn't stand seeing how they would screw up Toph.

And then there is The Lightning Thief, which I hated even more after reading the books. I love the Percy Jackson books, and that movie was such a waste of good source material.

 

[Senaro]

Blindside. I just couldn't stand it. Remember the Titans, however, bring it on.

 

[J-dog42]

Well I can't be bothered reading through the whole thing, so I may be repeating some here.

The only movies I have ever turned off were Superbad and Napoleon Dynamite. Especially Napoleon Dynamite. I managed to last half an hour before that one got the chop.

 

[Cuniculus]

The hardest movie to watch that I can remember was Blindness. It was a movie with a simple idea... everyone is going blind due to some unknown sickness, so they quarantine everyone. No one wants to get sick, so they don't help the blind and leave the area without food or water. A group of people somehow smuggled in a gun and start running things and demanding compensation for food.
*SPOILER, even though it is an old movie*
The wife of one of the people is immune, so you spend the whole movie wondering why she doesn't just cave in the heads of all the people being complete assholes with a heavy stone pipe.
*End spoiler*

I spent the first twenty minutes wondering how it would unfold and the last hour wondering why it was taking so long to end.

The SeltzerBerg spoofs are terrible, but they're not the worst when it comes to spoofs. The absolute worst spoof of all-time, and by all-time I mean from now until 1 trillion years from now when the universe succumbs to entropy and every star in the universe has flickered and died, is "The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It."

The funniest thing about this movie is the title. The title made me chuckle. That's the only laugh this movie got. It's a spoof of popular comedies. How do you make a comedy about comedies? They spoofed jokes! Some of you, who haven't seen the movie, might think that could be funny as meta-humor. That's not what the film does. The film takes jokes from the films they're spoofing and makes them "funnier."

The ID Card with "McLuvin" is now "McAnaluvin."

That scene from "40 Year Old Virgin" where he picks up that drunk girl who drives maniacally and throws up on him. She fills the half the car with her vomit and it spills onto the road when he opens the door.

"You know how I know you're gay? Cause you have a dildo up your ass" Other guy pulls a dildo out of his ass.

This goes on for 90 minutes. I didn't watch the whole thing. I would've carried it to Mordor so it could be destroyed in the fires of Mt. Doom, but it was a rental and I didn't want to pay the fee.

 

[Twilight.falls]

Freddy Got Fingered, directed and starring Tom Green. Everything I know about Tom Green is from this movie, not a good first impression. Introduced to this movie by a friend who claimed it was hilarious.

It is not.

Yes, I get that the POINT of the movie is gross-out humor and shocking the viewer. I'm not a fan of that style of comedy. Every joke in this movie seemed more to me like a desperate reach for attention. "Look at me! Isn't this movie edgy and gross!? Be grossed out! Be shocked!"

I didn't like this movie.

 

[Xerosch]

Avatar, The Hangover, Indiana Jones, Transformers and Donnie Darko have a big shit parade going on in my memory. Horrible, horrible abominations!

 

[Kenami]

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Despite everything being done well in my eyes (tone, acting, and writing to name a few) I still found myself bored at how predictable everything was. I guess the best way to describe it is a very well made chocolate cake that tastes bland rather than incredible.

 

[Piorn]

A friend invited me to a Fast&Furious marathon at his place to "get in the mood for part 5".
I think I died a little inside. Also I didn't watch part 5.

 

[Shock and Awe]

The Expendable

/thread

The plot was so mosaginist, cliched, and shit that I couldn't pay attention.
So I played Minecraft instead

How does it hate women?

 

[windlenot]

Just read through all the pages. No one mentioned Dragonball. NO ONE! I guess it's better to pretend it never existed.

Kung Pow Enter the Fist was really bad."Isn't betty a girls name?" For shame.

Oh, what? I loved that movie for its sheer stupidity, which is something I find hard to do nowadays.

OT
I couldn't really sit through The Hangover. It was really hit and miss. Some things were funny and other things just seemed really stupid. But not the haha stupid for me. Yeah, I'm really weird with movies, I know.

A serbian film and august underground

 

[BoogieManFL]

I found Watchmen very boring. It had some cool parts and Dr. Manhattan is an interesting character but it just felt aimless.

Napoleon Dynamite has some kind of cult deal going but I thought it was a terrible movie.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was just freaking horrible. I thought the original was pretty decent for what it was though.

 

[JohnnyDelRay]

The Spirit. Went in there with very high expectations after Sin City (was a fan of the comic, and the movie is quite to my liking, although I didn't think much of the cast the movie turned out to be great). However the Spirit was just impossible to finish.

And Zoolander was kind of painful to watch as well, I dunno it just didn't rock my boat...

I recall feeling the same way. Me and my girlfriend saw that trailer in the cinema, and thought "we should watch that". Missed it in cinema, kinda forgot about it. It did lead to us mistakenly renting The Uninvited, thinking it was the movie we'd seen the trailer for. That was pretty good. You should watch that.
But yeah, we finally watched The Unborn with some friends at a horror movie marathon night, we all stopped watching pretty quickly and just started talking.

OT: Nothing really comes to mind, if I'm bored by a movie, I turn it off. And I rarely watch movies, if I go to the cinema I make sure there's a good chance I'll like it etc. I suppose Pride And Prejudice, and the modern remake of Romeo & Juliet were incredibly painful to watch, I was forced to sit through them in school.
EDIT: Someone mentioned Eragon. I whole-heartedly agree. Also, Harry Potter 4 and 6, I managed to skip the 5th. Awful movies.

The Bourn Ultimatum

Decent film, but good lord ENOUGH with the shaky cam!!!1one!1 I'd like to actually see the film thank you. Not 2 hours of motion blur and squinting to work out what the frack was going on.

Yeah for a while a lot of action movies were doing the shaky cam thing, annoys the absolute CRAP out of me. Even Spider man ffs. It just seems like a cheap way to cover up the stunt actors lack of ability, or something? Which was a shame because the action in the Bourne series was not half bad!

But then again, I'm a big fan of the wide shots of two people strafing each other, twitching for the first strike in classic kung fu movies.

 

[The Rockerfly]

2001 Space Odyssey. I appreciate for the time it was probably amazing but to watch it now and to realise what little change has been made it just bores me now. It has no magic that it probably had when it was released

The Killer Inside Me. A film about a man with violent tendencies and he beats his wife. I found it hard to watch because I found the wife beating disgusting, the script was boring and it dragged on. The only entertaining bits were the bits where he was being violent and when he was violent I was disgusted. Overall I wouldn't recommend

Twilight. Terrible story, poorly directed, crap morals, piss poor acting, ridiculous overall plot holes and the fans. Oh my word some of the fans are utter lunatics

Seven Monkeys. Far FAR too long. It was almost 3 hours long and since the plot was kinda weird I just found it really difficult to enjoy or pay attention for the whole 3 hours. I don't mind a long film, Lord of the Rings series are some of my favourite films but I couldn't stand seven monkeys. Brad Pit was amazing in it though

X-men Wolverine. I don't know how but they managed to make an action film boring. Like really boring, I watch Coraline after and I found that had much more entertaining qualities than Wolverine. Ruining Deadpool was a really stupid mistake and it killed a potentially good franchise for me at least. Some scenes were cool and the action was very well done but it bores me.

Some of the old Disney films. E.g. Sword in The Stone and Bambi. Mainly because the plot is very very basic and there's never really any changes, just mindless antics, defeat evil and win. Some of the newer ones have far better plots but the old animation films are a little stale

The Rocky Horror Show. So sue me I don't get the jokes and I find it a little bit creepy. Plus I can't dance.

The 2010 Robin Hood. They made a camp and fun character of Robin Hood into a tank and with no chemistry between any of the characters I could barely make through this film
