Films which disappointed you

[Darthlaw]

Star Wars 1,2,3,7,8,9 - All shite.

A bit more obscure but I watched the BAFTA nominated Brian and Charles a few weeks back. Utter garbage.

[colner]

No country for old men disappointed me

[tarkys_ears]

Any of that blues brothers ****

[Gunfury]

Independence Day….steaming pile of pap made worse by the fact I saw it in America among a load of whooping morons

[pushpinpussy]

Bambi

[Taffy on the wing]

Wizard of Oz
Rocky Horror Picture Show - what a steaming pile of dung that is
Royal Tenenbaums
Panic Room
Blair Witch Project

Maybe it's your taste letting you down

No country for old men disappointed me

How can you be disappointed in cattle-prod killings?.....it's hilarious stuff. sorry, couldn't help myself.

I know, everyone is entitled to their opinion etc.

[sjb]

Maybe it's your taste letting you down

Nothing wrong with my taste Taffy, but I'd be very concerned if you actually thought any of those were any good!

[Taffy on the wing]

Blue Velvet… maybe it was watching it with a true fan who afterwards spent 30 mins explaining the bits I hated and why they were genius.

One of the greatest films ever made!.......FFS

[Taffy on the wing]

No, just that you watched them in the first place....horrible list of dross.

[claptrappers_union]

Most recently, the Bank of Dave. It annoys me that people like it so much. Look beyond the subject matter and drone shots of Burnley. Everything about it is turd.

[Vino blanco]

I was in a Tokyo on business in 2004 and they were holding 50th anniversaries of “The Seven Samurai “ in many cinemas. I went to watch it because it is rated as one of the greatest films ever. They were showing it without subtitles, I couldn’t understand a thing, bloody rubbish.

[alf_resco]

City Hall - Al Pacino, 1996.
I was working in Austria and some local friends dragged me along to the local cinema which showed an English-language film once every month. They thought it was great; I didn't.

[ClaretPete001]

Wow some of the favourite all time films on this list.

Someone going to mentions Withnail and I soon...

[Spiral]

Some amazing films mentioned on this thread. WTF is wrong with you all?

Prometheus is the best Alien film after the original Alien. Amazing film. (Alien is better than Aliens). Covenant was rubbish though.

Love Christopher Nolan, so expected a lot of Tenet. Was absolute bobbins. Watched it twice because it's set up in such a way where the second half of the film and also the ending itself re-contextualises the first half of the film, so on repeat viewing you're watching it from a different perspective. Nope. Still crap. Big disappointment. Kind of muted my interest for Oppenheimer a bit, too.

[DCWat]

I was going to opt for no country for old men but as it’s already been mentioned, I’ll go for once upon a time in Hollywood. What a load of self indulgent shite.

[Spiral]

Disappointed with Elvis. Style over substance.

I think with Baz Luhrmann the style is the substance. And credit to him, his films definitely feel like you're on a substance.

[Big Vinny K]

Most recently, the Bank of Dave. It annoys me that people like it so much. Look beyond the subject matter and drone shots of Burnley. Everything about it is turd.

Spot on.
Awful awful excuse for a film.
Makes you wonder whether there is anything that they would not make a film or docu series about these days.

[shulgin]

The Departed
Trainspotting Two
Django Unchained
Heat

[Spiral]

Netflix's approach is deliberately scatter gun. Most producers and developers have an idea of what they want to make, then they go and make it. Netflix green-light's almost anything, lets the market decide what's a hit, then milk it for a few years until the next hit comes along. Like, in no 'normal' world is Stranger Things and the Tiger King documentary developed for the same streaming service, but they are. Can't even begin to imagine how much cocaine Netflix executives get through in a month.

Bank of Dave, and Glass Onion (brilliant film). Same platform. How?

[ŽižkovClaret]

Any of this "Classic Hollywood"indulgent claptrap, be it La La Land, Once upon a time in Hollywood..... Babylon..... utter bilge

[Rileybobs]

The Departed
Trainspotting Two
Django Unchained
Heat

Wow, three superb films on this list, in my opinion.

[shulgin]

Wow, three superb films on this list, in my opinion.

Yes, I'm in a minority but The Departed was a poor version of Infernal Affairs.
Heat was done better and less bloated in LA Takedown albeit that was lower budget for TV I think.
Django I just didn't enjoy despite a Tarantino flick.

At least you knew which three I was talking about

I can understand Django being a bit marmite, but Heat, and more so The Departed are classics, and films I can keep going back to.

[Simps]

Blair Witch Project had to be the single worst film experience of my life

[Elbarad]

World War Z

The book was so good, I've read it a half a dozen times at least. I still tear up at some of the chapters, even though I know what's coming. They made the movie so different from the book, all that was the same was the title and that there were zombies.

[Funkydrummer]

Another for The Blair Witch Project. I lasted 30 minutes and walked out - and
I wasn't the only one. Utter, utter nonsensical farting about in a wood with the
camera waving around all over the place. Complete garbage of the highest order.

[claret2018]

I think the Blair Witch Project is one of the best horror films ever made.

And Heat being in the list! Literally a perfect film in my view.

Takes all sorts I suppose!

[elwaclaret]

Blair Witch project the hyped up ‘realism’ turns out to be a bunch of divs making themselves scream. You’ll see better on you tube in the style made by kids.

Was really disappointed when I saw Rooster Coburn (John Wayne) after True Grit.

[elwaclaret]

If Blair Witch Project scares you don’t watch Nosferatu

Oh dear!.........I bet you liked the magnificent 7 though.

How could they? .....they wouldn't....they might.

[Taffy on the wing]

For those wishing to be disappointed there's always.... 'Cocaine Bear'.
It can't fail with a title like that.

[williamjblazkowicz]

Salt - I fell asleep during it. I never usually fall asleep (certainly don’t nap) unless it’s night and I’m in bed.

Chicago - Expectations were already low because I hate musicals with a passion. It still found a way to disappoint.

Happy Gilmore - Adam Sandler just isn’t funny.

[evensteadiereddie]

The hotel I'm currently stopping at has a lift manufactured by a firm called Schindler, I kid you not.
I've been sat here for an hour now, don't get me wrong it has its ups and downs but,, to be honest, I can't see what all the fuss was about

[Swizzlestick]

Salt - I fell asleep during it. I never usually fall asleep (certainly don’t nap) unless it’s night and I’m in bed.

I don’t watch many films, but somehow ended up watching this, and good grief it’s atrocious.

[BFCmaj]

Bohemian Rhapsody. I really wanted to like the film but I thought it was awful.

[Lancasterclaret]

I can't believe someone actually said "Seven Samurai"

[williamjblazkowicz]

I don’t watch many films, but somehow ended up watching this, and good grief it’s atrocious.

To be fair, I can't say too much bad about it But it's not a good sign that it sent me to sleep.

[CnBtruntru]

Debbie Does Dallas.

Was you deflated by it or inflated

[Jambounchained]

The Departed being mentioned surprises me - thought that was excellent.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was naff as was The Irishman.

[Dark Cloud]

Was you deflated by it or inflated

I was a young 20 something so tbf, I was constantly inflated!!

[Submariner72]

Dunkirk, had the perfect chance to be great due to the real life story of Dunkirk but the film was terrible.

You beat me to it , it could have been a lot better

[tiger76]

For those wishing to be disappointed there's always.... 'Cocaine Bear'.
It can't fail with a title like that.

I've seen the trailer and believe me it can.

[Rileybobs]

Delete. Misread.

[BennyD]

The Hurt Locker. Total, unadulterated sh!te.

[timshorts]

Not seen much on this list above.
Blackhawk down. Expectation 2/10. Actual 0/10
Matrix 2. Expectation 7/10. Actual 3/10.
Goldmember. Expectation 3/10. Actual 0/10

Quite like happy gilmore. It is amusing at times.

[timshorts]

Oh, and willy wonka sequel. How can they manage to make a worse version than the original? Still managed it.

And that awful sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey.

[expoultryboy]

Cloverfield
I am Legend

[Bosscat]

"The Colour Purple" went to see this in Blackpool back in the late 80's ... 3 hrs of my life I will never get back.
