What are your Biggest movie theater disappointments?


1. Batman and Robin -Corny and an awful Bane
2. Attack of the Clones- CGI and Bad Acting
3. The Chronicles of Riddick- boring
4. The Matrix: Reloaded- lame story
5. 28 days- it tried to hard at the drama.

Bonus: Endgame: I only went because my soldiers wanted to see it. I was done with marvel during phase 1.

I AM GENERALLY HAPPY WITH MY THEATER EXPERIENCES...SHIT...ENDGAME WAS FUCKING EPIC...I WISH YOU COULD HAVE ENJOYED IT AS MUCH AS I DID...I JUST REWATCHED IT LAST WEEK.

reply

I just never got into marvel or comic book movies. I always see them like people see lifetime Christmas movies. Yeah, they're different movies, but the genre is too similar.

reply

X-MEN WAS MY JAM AS A KID...COMICS AND THE ANIMATED SHOW...OTHERS TOO BUT X-MEN MOSTLY...SO THE MCU HAS ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT IN MY LANE...IF YOU AREN'T IN LOVE WITH THE GENRE I COULD SEE NOT BEING INTO IT...I KNOW A GUY WHO LOVES THE LIFETIME CHRISTMAS MOVIES...WHICH IS NOT MY LANE.

We all have that friend/family member.

reply

reply

HALLOWEEN ROCKS...THANKSGIVING TOO...PLANES,TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES AND DUTCH ARE YEARLY TRADITIONS...ALSO I TORTURE ALI BY MAKING HER WATCH JACK & JILL...I HOPE ONE DAY SHE WILL TORTURE HER KIDS IN THE SAME WAY.

It's so dumb but I really love the Dunkaccino bit.

Pearl Harbor (2001) - I was looking forward to the greatest Pearl Harbor movie ever and it was just a lame boring romance thing.

reply

From the late great Roger Ebert:

"Pearl Harbor" is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them.

I MISS THAT GUY A LOT...I OWN EVERY REVIEW BOOK HE EVER RELEASED...IT'S A LOT...DOZENS.

reply

I agree wholeheartedly!

reply

OOOH...YEAH...I COULD SEE BEING BUMMED OUT MIDWAY THROUGH THAT ONE IN THE THEATER...LUCKILY I FIRST CAUGHT IT ON VHS...AND I DON'T THINK I HAVE SEEN IT SINCE...ALTHOUGH I DO HAVE IT ON BLURAY NOW.

reply

I Skipped that. After Seeing Saving Private Ryan, I knew my standards would be too high.

reply

OH MAN...I SAW SAVING PRIVATE RYAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN GRADE 11 ENGLISH...IT WAS NEAR THE END OF THE YEAR...THE TEACHER WAS REALLY COOL AND THE CLASS POTHEAD HAD A HIGH QUALITY BOOTLEG...THAT WAS SOME EXPERIENCE.

reply

i was about to post same .

imagine my horror when , after the battle and i was ready to go home , i found out there was another 90 minutes!

reply

The Northman (2022)

Looked forward to that movie.
And I love Nordic mythology...and Alexander Skarsgård. ♥
But no, please no! 😧​

reply

Tales from the Crypt - Bordello of Blood was the worst movie I've seen at a theater.

We were fans of the show but the movie wasn't much like it.

reply

DENNIS MILLER SEEMS TO BE HAVING A BLAST...IT'S KIND OF INFECTIOUS...BUT YEAH...FAIRLY SHITTY CRYPT FLICK.

reply

Looking it up, I was surprised to see it was originally a script by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis. That script was pretty much thrown out and rewritten to make it more "modern". Damn, I would have loved to have seen a version made from that original script.

reply

YEAH...I'M SURE THAT FIRST SCRIPT WOULD PROVIDE A MUCH DEEPER...MORE INTERESTING FLICK...I REALLY LIKE DEMON KNIGHT...WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT ONE?

reply

It's been a while since I've seen it. It was a decent 6/10 sort of movie. I don't remember all that much about it to be honest. It's got Billy Zane, which is good. He's a cool dude.

reply

AND WILLIAM SADLER...THE GRIM REAPER HIMSELF...PARTY ON,DUDE.

reply

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

I swore off Disney Wars for good after watching that steaming pile of cat shit in the theater. I never saw the ones they made after that, and I never will.

I loved Star Wars as a kid in the '80s, and I still love the original trilogy (the original theatrical cuts only; the retconned versions can fuck off). The prequel trilogy wasn't anywhere near as good, but they were at least okay in my opinion. I never suspected that they would ever make one so bad/annoying that I'd never want to watch another one.

reply

DID YOU CATCH ROGUE ONE...I CONTEND THAT THERE ARE ONLY TWO GREAT STAR WARS FILMS AND TWO VERY GOOD STAR WARS FILMS...NEW HOPE AND EMPIRE BEING THE GREAT MOVIES OF COURSE...AND RETURN OF THE JEDI AND ROGUE ONE BEING THE VERY GOOD MOVIES...THE REST ARE ALL JUNK TO ME.

reply

Cold Creek Manner -- LOL though the previews presented the film as a supernatural/ghost story, I was able to pick out the fake jump scares in said previews. When watching the film -- though a duce move, whisper to my friend that nothing going to happen blah blah blah.

The whole film turned out to be something totally different. Later I would poke fun at the dramatic piano music playing throughout, only to realize even later that that's the type of music I wanted to play on guitar (e.g...., Long Live Metal).

reply

Dark Fate. As a Terminator junkie I had high hopes, but unfortunately it was a total mess.

reply

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. The ending was great but the movie was an utter disappointment.
