[Closed] Films that do nothing for you.

Shawshank
Ok film but that ending makes me hate it ...I wanted to vomit
Too american to sickly sweet too preposterous

Ruined an otherwise Ok film.

Skyfall. Could have left after the first twenty minutes.

The Harry Potter films, utter tosh, just don't understand why both the books and the films were successful.

I enjoyed Skyfall.

Tron is garbage.
Bladerunner.
Any musical - I just can't do them at all.

I'm sure there are others but that's for starters 🙂

TS

Anything with hugh grant in it

Only time I've ever fallen asleep in a cinema was during Lord of the Rings

fight club. i just don't get what all the fuss is about. i quite liked the storyline, up until the end when it was all in his head.

now sure, thats the whole point etc yadda yadda yadda, but i can't be arsed with all that bullshit.

The Big Lebowski.

Everyone raves about it, supposed to be a film classic, a seminal work. I was bored senseless watching it.

Matrix.
Shawshank Redemption
Star Wars
Startrek
Hot Fuzz .

Went and watched Black Swan - it has to be a case of the Emperor's new clothes, surely! It was pish!

Star wars
harry potter
lord of the rings,
top gun,
westerns,
mission impossible,
and probably any overhyped film ,that usually turns out crap.

At the moment..... The Princess Bride

I've tried watching Bladerunner a number of times because I feel I should but I just can't get into it at all. Just seems a bit crap.

Similar with The Godfather.

Also can't really see what all the fuss about Pulp Fiction was all about. TBH, I can't get excited by Tarrantino in general really although I did enjoy True Romance.

Anything with star, Matrix, Bourne or wars in the title.

Anything with Steve Martin in post "Father of the Bride"
Anything with Jennifer Aniston in.
Anything period drama'ish with Emma whatsherface in.
Anything with a title like "Fast n Furious"
Anything with Jet Lee in.

Absolutely anything with Nicholas Cage in. He is a proper goon.

Lost in Translation. I just didn't care about either of them.

Horse Box Gang Bang 4 - they jumped the shark on that one

It's not hard to call out a crap film that everyone knows is a crap film. Top Gun was/is iconic not because it was a good film but because it was a film of the era. It is celebrated for being cheesy. Add American Flyers - classic but also cheesy crap in equal measures!

Films that are meant to be good that I just can't get into - Fight Club and Kill Bill. I'm in the right demographic, the right age and the right gender but just can't warm to them.

Up
Final Destinations. They take ridiculous to the next level.
The Saw films.

+1 big lebowski. Just so shit, slow & boring.

The Big Lebowski.

Everyone raves about it, supposed to be a film classic, a seminal work. I was bored senseless watching it.

It's easy to be underwhelmed by a film with so much hype. People expect it to be some kind of religious experience. It isn't a riot, it's quite subtle and it gets better with repeated watching.

No Country for Old Men.

up
blade runner
garden state

That thing with Bill Murray in, where he's in Japan...? Lost in Translation was it? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Good enough in it's own right but the story is a very basic rehashed one. It's OK I suppose.
American Beauty. Can't even remember what it was about now, I just remember it being boring.

withnail and i - id rather drink catspiss than watch more than the 20 minutes I once saw of it.

Sexy Beast

What a complete load of crap this film is, a bunch of luvey actors on a jolly in the sun all trying to out 'cockerny' each other.

Without a doubt the biggest waste of film stock ever.

Reservoir Dogs.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Road to Perdition
Harry Potter
Twilight
Team America
Borat

Blair witch
Blade runner
All the new star wars films

The Harry Potter films, utter tosh, just don't understand why both the books and the films were successful.

One of them's alright- well made, more changes from the book, and some bad-assed wizarding. Order of the Phoenix maybe? It's not so bad.

Anything by Tarantino.

Blade Runner.

Hurt Locker

Scarface also The Godfather.

Skyfall
Any animated film featuring singing animals (Ice age?)
Most of those awful American comedies

The Shining. I swear nothing happens for three hours then there's about 15 minutes of running around with an axe. Nearly died of boredom.

I second the Hurt Locker. Add in Australia too - what a load of tripe.

Lord of the rings - not my cup of tea as a book, no interest in them as films.

The big lebowski, for the same reasons already stated by others.

Harry potter - they are children's books, highly regarded by retarded adults who wear mickey mouse socks, the films are exactly what I expected them to be (although I only watched the first one).

The star wars films were fantastic when I was a child, but watching them as an adult 30 years later reveals the absolute weakness of the basic writing.

Avatar.

Shawshank redemption.
Any Pixar type affair 'were adults can enjoy it too TM'

I'm struggling to see the point in this thread.

I'm struggling to understand some of the choices on this thread 😆

That too.

Avengers.
Donnie Darko.

Harry Potter = St Trinians + wizardry - Pedophilia
