What movies have you seen that you though would be good and really did not click?
The last tread mainly dealt with the Fockers & ND.
My nominee:
I rented Lady Killers on a whim. It may have been OK but the foul language was way over the top and killed the whole movie.
Re: Don’t See Movies
I thought Mystic River was very disappointing.
I <heart> Huckabees also didn’t do it for me.
I hate Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The Village was so unbeleivably predictable, it tried quick suprises to be a good movie, didnt cut it.
POW
I thought Ocean’s 12 was one huge let down. Then again, I didn’t like Ocean’s 11 very much either, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
“Anchorman” and “Elf” were both huge recent disappointments for me. I’ve seen Will Ferrell do some really funny stuff and these were not them.
Unlike Raphael, I thought “Mystic River” was good but I didn’t like it. Much like Raphael, I loathed “Eraserhead” but I never made it to the end of it.
I thought “La Dolce Vita” was Fellini at his absolute worst, though.
“Star Wars” - Bad acting, god-awful effects, no plot, no conclusion.
MR. Dribbles, If i saw You right now, i would punch you. You are ruining my life by saying such INSANE things. 
The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been my favorite play/movie sine i was 11, and you are trying to discourage people from seeing it…
Lets do the time warp again
If you take a look at Ferrell’s IMDb entry you’ll see that he is rather quickly headed for the bottomless pit of overexposure. I’m not particularly fond of his work.
I am looking forward to Melinda and Melinda, Woody Allen’s latest movie. I saw the preview when I went to see Sideways the other night. Within one line I thought it must be Allen and I was right. I hope Will Ferrell doesn’t ruin it. 
I haven’t looked forward to a Woody Allen movie in quite a while.
I’ll get some flack on this so I will elaborate. I will start with two questions. Is there sound in space? Are there aerodynamics in space? If those were special effects I would say they were very special effects indeed.
The fact that the acting was atrocious I believe will go unchallenged. If I am incorrect, please use complete sentences and correct grammar and spelling in your rebuttal, if you are at all able. Aye aint hukked on foniks.
I even coined the term “Star Wars ending” for movies which have endings with no conclusion. That is, a movie in which a bunch of stuff happens and at the end of it, everyone around just begins to cheer or someone gets on stage and everyone cheers for no apparent reason other than to end the movie.
“The Scent of a Woman” falls into that category with the little touching speech toward the end. How did Al Pacino win an Oscar for that dog role? He was totally unconvincing and Chris O’Donnell acted circles around him. Oh…that’s right…it’s the Academy. That’s another movie that was a total loser in my book and Pacino is usually very good.
Let me get in line behind General Dribbles. They didn’t stress the “HORROR” enough when they used the title "Rocky Horror Picture Show. That movie sucked so badly I could have vacuumed every rug in every theater in the U.S. with it. I hope your hand doesn’t hurt too much after punching GD because you’re going to have to punch me next.
Rocky Horror Picture Show, when it first came out was a flop in the theatre. The midnight showing in NYC with all the people dressing up, singing along and throwing stuff, came a few years later. So unless you go to a theatre and do the interactive Rocky Horror thing, you probably wouldn’t like it. It was low budget all the way! For the record, I’ve seen it at least 50 times (not always in the theatre) and I have to say I love the music.
“All Dogs Go to Heaven” - animated. My mother used to like to take my kids to an animated feature when she was in town. She took my entire family to this one. It reeked. The kids were bored out of their skulls. My mother got up halfway through the movie, went to the box office with all five stubs, and asked for her money back. The manager gladly refunded her money and said that they had received numerous complaints about how awful it was. He also said to stay for the rest of the movie if she wanted, no charge. None of us wanted to. She died shortly after that. I wonder if that hideous cartoon movie had something to do with it.
Napoleon Dynamite, worst most overplayed movie ever.
Also, I liked Mystic River.
Sky Captain and Thw world of Tomorrow pretty mcuh sucked a nut, same with The Leage of Extraordinary gentlemen.
Rocky Horror Picture Show is good, just a bit too much of a cliche thing these days.
I’ll line up behind Harper and General Dibbles because I hated “Rocky Horrible Picture Show” also.
“Napolean Dynamite” a definite bomb
“Signs” no life there
“Bad Santa” A very bad concept for a movie
And the number one Don’t See Movie that I’ll bet no one will disagree with me on. “Gigli”. I only rented it, because I wanted to see how bad it could possibly be.
i would agree it isn’t as good at all when you see it at a non interactive show… the play is fun to see too.
I just wanted to throw this out…
Ebert and Roper named The Girl Next Door as one of their ten worst movies of 2004. I went out and rented it a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. How many of you saw it and what did you think?
All I have to say is every movie listed is a top 100 compaired to Ax 'Em it is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. You know how some movies are so bad they are funny, well this one takes bad movies to a whole new level.
I know everyone will disagree with me, but DODGEBALL was the stupidest, stupidest movie I’ve ever seen, ever. holy crap is all I can say.
except the part with Lance Armstrong, that was pretty funny.
I didn’t really like the Rocky Horror Picture Show either, but that’s prolly because I just watched it on my computer by myself. I bet it would be really fun if I did the whole theatre interactive bit.
and of course the Time Warp was brilliant.
We saw ‘Sideways’ last Friday,
Didn’t like it. Why would anyone like a movie about two losers touring the California vineyards sampling wine. Sure they meet some interesting women, but then they become even greater jerks. I did laugh, once or twice, but calling this a comedy is a stretch of the imagination.
Don’t see it.
I first saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show as a stoned 14 year old. I loved it. I saw it next as a not stoned 18 year old and was bored to tears. Since then I have watched it a couple of times and enjoy it. Susan Sarandon was a hot kid and she ain’t bad still today. And, yes, the music is great.
And speaking of Sarandon, Atlantic City was a great movie.
I think Signs is a good movie. Not great, but I enjoy it a lot.
The 4 sequels to Planet of the Apes blew.
Sideways was good becaue you have to work to sympathize with the main characters. All the way through. And that made it challenging and fun to watch. Plus all the foul language and sex was unexpected and made a lot of people in the theater uncomfortable. I enjoyed that, too.
The Madonna remake of Swept Away sucked big time.
