| The one that disappointed me the most this year: X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Where do I start? Well, for starters let's start with the ridiculously cheesy 10 year old bestial yell that made me crack up. Then we'll go into the whole massacring the storyline of the comic book, them screwing up Deadpool and them killing Deadpool which I must add is impossible. The terrible acting throughout, the really bad Cajun accent the actor that played Gambit tried to muster. But besides that it was a great movie. |

| superman returns sucked ass IMO |
| Stay thirsty, my friends. |
| Oh my goodness...my parents made me watch this old 1970 movie called "Love Story" (it was the movie they went to see on their first date). That was 99 minutes of PURE agony. There was no plot, most of the things they did and said made no sense, the music was making my ears bleed (not literally), and the lead actor and actress I just wanted to punch. I'm pretty sure I just wanted to slam my head against a wall by the end of the movie... |

| Any movie with Adam Sandler. "Pocahontas 2" (I can't believe she ended up with John Rolfe after having such a love story with John Smith - I felt absolutely deceived as a child). |

I mean, it fulfills its purpose as an entertaining action filled, 1+ hour commercial for Wolverine merchandise, doesn't it? It's not like it claimed to have any 'nobler' aspiration :P |

It's not like it claimed to have any 'nobler' aspiration :P Yeah but the problem with it was that I didn't really want to see it in the first place, I wanted to see Star Trek but my friends dragged me into the theater kicking and screaming as they attempted to get my hopes up. After they finally did get my hopes up, I watched the film shit all over the comics I knew and loved as a child. While I do realize that it didn't set out to be a masterpiece, the least they could've done was follow the comic. Or is that too much to ask? And also, they should never have killed Deadpool. By the way, sorry for the late reply, I just now noticed it. |

| @Moondrop: Was that just because they are so over-hyped that they let you down or because you truly believe they are terrible movies? Just wondering because I could definitely see the hype making them super letdowns. I need to add to my list of least favorite movies I've realized because there are several that do make the cut now that I've stopped to think about them. And Wolverine is still on the list. Also includes The Ring 2, The Tomb, and Moulin Rouge. (I will say that the last one has one good scene worth watching, but it's a waste to sit through two hours of pure agony just to get to it so it falls under least favorite movie.) |

| Batman Forever and Romeo + Juliet are probably my worst movie watching experiences. I actually kinda liked Batman & Robin because, well... atleast the villians are sort of on the right track. While in Forever it's so blatant that they wanted two Jokers or something as the villians and just wrote that instead. And hoo boy Val Kilmer. :x It's pretty awful. With Romeo + Juliet the concept of sticking to the original script in a modern setting did not work. It almost had that "Reading a story out loud in school" kind of vibe. You know, when the students doesn't give a shit about the story. :P That and I hate Leonardo DiCaprio. ( Because my sister would allways watch Titanic on repeat when I was a kid. ) |
| There have been even worse movies, including ones I have seen in the theater and walked out of before they ended (Fast and Furious 4, Get him to the Greek, in recent memory), but for sheer disappointment, it's hard to beat Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. As putrid as the film itself was, it was made worse because all the professional reviewers, including asshole Roger Ebert, were hyping this up as a great film upon release, and a lot of ordinary movie-goers, myself included, believed those fucking shills. The only thing that encouraged me was Maddox's awesome article tearing down that abomination, although if anything, he was too nice in his review; http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=episode3 |
gatotsu911 said: YoungVagabond said: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=episode3 Good lord, that article was terrible. I rarely say this, but I actually miss the 5 minutes of my life I spent reading that which I will never get back. I am astonished that anybody reads that guy's writing of their own free will. Yeah, I know, personal taste and everything, but GOD that was bad. I'm not even that big a fan of Star Wars, but man, that was just excruciating to read. If it had been any more soaked in vitriol and self-satisfaction it would have started dripping out of my monitor. Okay, you repeated three times that you didn't like it. We got that...the first time. How about telling us why? |
gatotsu911 said: I did explain why I didn't like it, in my last sentence. Adding to that: I gleaned absolutely nothing from that article that I couldn't have gotten in far less smarmy and possibly more entertaining form from listening to your run-of-the-mill disillusioned Star Wars fanboy. Do you even know what a "movie review" is, and what it's trying to accomplish? It's a brief summary of what made a film good or bad. That particular article did that, regardless of whether you "gleaned" anything from it or not. And considering "Revenge of the Sith" was a bunch of idiotic shit, I'm not sure how they were supposed to teach you anything to begin with. (Some of the criticisms, e.g. against Anakin strangling Padme, don't even make sense insofar as they were oblivious to what the film was trying to do, regardless of whether it did it well.) Okay, I'll humor you; why does it not make sense? I'm not going to elaborate beyond that, because it's really not worth my time. Oh. In that case, why did you bother replying to my post at all? What about your precious time? If you enjoy that kind of writing... well, then you do, I guess, but I found the experience of reading that article (and browsing some of his others) to be the literary equivalent of attempting to eat a bucket of vegemite mixed with pit bull vomit. If I'm going to read condescending, vitriolic tripe, I might as well go with condescending, vitriolic tripe from someone who has something at least reasonably original or interesting to say, e.g. Tim Rogers. I love how you cried and bitched so much about me writing mean things to you once upon a time about "stories in video games", and then come into this topic and act so douchey that any more and we would have to patent you as the new method for anal irrigation. |
