That's a frustrating thread if there ever was one. Most, like 95%, of these movie are good or great.

Possibly the worst film I've ever seen.

I hate when people say things like that.

Quote from: meatballNah, I meant to choose this thread.  8)

Yea, I definitely did too. I didn't hate all of them but those were some big disappointments. Especially The Matrix.

I have to second Pirates of the Carribean too, I thought that was suppose to be awesome. I didn't get into it at all. And I love Johnny Depp, he's one of my favorite actors. It was just such a mess, it just felt so uneven. Almost like Gangs, with Johnny being the Daniel Day Lewis of the movie.

Another big one is Lord of the Rings...god, I was so so so bored by it, but then of course I realized that it seems like being a fan of the books is almost essential to really love the movies in the trilogy. And I had never heard of them before 10th grade english. So I'm not as mad at LOTR, just wish it would end.

I'd still like to know the reasoning behind why one poster put "Say Anything" in this thread.  :?

Aw man, I've been waiting for the DVD to come out on 11-25. I'll just lower my expectations and then possibly it will be better.........?

I know I had some big let downs.

I don't know...I think the Batman franchise died when Tim Burton and Michael Keaton jumped ship. But clearly Batman and Robin was the nail in the coffin.

Ugh. I never thought to put it in perspective that the Governor of California is Mr. Freeze from Batman and Robin...

I liked Batman Forever. I thought Val Kilmer was appealing enough as Batman. But, yes, Batman and Robin is the film from which I judge all bad films. I walk out of a bad movie and think to myself "At least it was better than Batman and Robin."

I know, I hate when people love Unbreakable, too.

The Anniversary Party

Entertainers entertaining themselves by trying to entertain us with movies about entertainers (themselves) = bad.

I sort of agree with your premise, but I really liked both of those movies. I didn't find them self-indulgent. Not even Anniversary Party, surprisingly.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

usual suspect, fight club, american beauty, and memento did very little for me, even after repeated viewings.

recently I'd have to say elephant and lost in translation were both meh.
