Anything by Woody Allen

Anything from Matchpoint onwards. Hes a demi-God before that.

Sideways - thank god I only saw it on DVD - ejected halfway though.

DaVinci code/Angels and Demons - didn't see, but the books were poor IMO so the film couldn't have been up to much.

99.9% of mainstream Hollywood output.

Any "re-imagining" of a half decent film from back in the day. John Carpenter's version of "The Thing" aside, I can't think of any that have been worth the effort of focusing my eyes.

Not quite a total waste but The Blues Brothers...hadn't seen it but heard lot about it...finally watched it and wondered what all the fuss was about...

Seconded. Over rated garbage.

Other than that, anything with Steve Martin in it. Whoever thought he was even good enough to clean Peter Sellers' shoes should have been shot for putting him in the Pink Panther remake..... THEN doing another one.
Sellers = Legend
Martin = Leg end.

Quantum Of Solace.....

WTF was all that about?

Definately 2 hours lost and never to be regained.

Open Water - just utter rubbish, nothing happens

Twilight - GF asked me to go and see it with her. Fell asleep.

Elf - awful, awful, awful, awful, awf...

Blair Witch Project - just crap

Mega Shark vs...on the other hand this looks so bad its good (theres a lot of films in that category!):-)

Stealth - best thing about it was Jessica Biel - probably one of the only movies I've seen that would have been better if I'd have muted the sound.

I quite enjoyed Quantum of Solace. Think that CR and QoS are still trying to reinvent Bond, and the storylines will flow a bit more in the forthcoming films

Nothing does happen in it though! It's utterly, utterly crap...and somehow they've managed to release a sequel to it!

I don't particularly like it, but to say 'nothing happens in it' is quite ridiculous. Certainly something happened on the screen when I watched it. Maybe people don't know where the 'on' button on the TV is?

OK, I'll rephrase to:

Nothing even remotely interesting happens in it though!

I just can't abide the man. I don't go anywhere near anything he's in any more. Wooden, lame, rubbish. I can act better than him. And Kevin Costner. And possibly Keanu Reeves as well, but that's not hard.

Now I know it was a chick flick but at the mention of lebian cheerleaders I let the wife put on 'Dr T and the Women' .... a part of me died inside during that movie and I will never watch anything with that clown Richard Gere in ever ever again.

Fair enough, but if you rate Airplane or Naked Gun then you need to watch that film!

- My House in Umbria - tiresome.
- Death Race - how dumb and repetitive can something get?
- Good Luck Chuck - simply not funny, and with no other redeeming features
- Appaloosa - so promising, but easily the worst of the recent crop of westerns. Flat, tired and with the most undramatic, banal fighting imaginable.

It's interesting to see what people's hates are. 🙂

I'm sorry... For a moment there I thought someone had said that The Big Lebowski was not a good film. I must have misread something there.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT YOU PHILISTINE!!!

Obviously a disgruntled nihilist. 🙂

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - great book but complete tosh film. The time would have been better spent watching some of Apocalypse Now or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly again.

To all of the people who don't like Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace, I say go and read the Bond novels and then watch these two films. Perfect Bond that Fleming would have been proud of...

+1 the Road to Wellville

The Player (in fact anything with Tim Robbins - apart from Shawshank Redemption)

Boogie Nights. We went with friends. After 30 minutes, I'd had enough and wanted to leave, MrsG mentioned that our friends seemed to be enjoying it. Post-film-in-pub-over-pint-critique revealed that they'd had exactly the same thoughts as us, but thought we looked like we were enjoying it! Arrgh!

Can't believe The Mummy hasn't been mentioned yet. People must be blotting it from their memories or something.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

sooooo painful 🙂

I wanted to hate the Dark Knight, but actually thought it was ace - Heath Ledger was brilliant in it

Good illustration of how it seems to be beyond some to be able to distinguish objectively a poor film from one that they just didn't like

In at No 1>

Crank 2

If only I could recover that 2 hrs of my life.
Would guess written by an 18yr old virgin desparate to get laid.
So bad, it almost does complete circle and becomes good again-but doesn't.
Man it sucked.
If however you haven't seen it, don't let me review but you off of course.

I agree that there [i]ought[/i] to be a distinction to be made, but I'm not sure how one makes it? Is it a "been to film school" thing?

Transformers, definitely lousy. Big Lebowski, don't know, I like it, amny clearly don't. Is it "objectively" good, or not? 🙂
