Disappointing films..........

[Fyldewhite]

I'm not a big cinema patron admittedly but sat down for the Shawshank Redemption on the TV several years after realease expecting one of the best films of all time. Not a bad film admittedly but really fail to see why it's at the top of all the must see lists. I was really disappointed. Is it just me? I feel a bit guilty as it's apparently such a classic! Also, the Godfather, I watched all 3 back to back a couple of years ago, never having seen them.....that's a good few hours I'll never get back.

So......following on from the earlier thread, which "brilliant" fillms do you think were rubbish?

The second lot of Star Wars films... Not a patch on the first three... Hope they correct it for the next batch....

Debbie does Dallas. Never saw the place where Kennedy was shot, or Southfork Ranch

A few rusty bullet holes though

Back on topic.
Jurassic Park, just too far fetched for me.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Taxi Driver. Most over rated film ever IMO.

I seen The Shining at the cinema for the first time 2 Halloweens ago and that was massively disappointing. Im guessing it was a lot to do with expectations and the age of the film but didn't like it at all.

Don't like any of the Star Wars, or Shawshank, The Redux version of Apocalypse Now is so long that it nearly wrecks it.

 

[bluewolf]

The Exorcist - About as scary as a childrens halloween party, and absurdly funny in places.
Brokeback Mountain - Sorry, but it wasn't any good.
The Sixth Sense - Guessed the twist after about 30 minutes.

Castaway

Quantum of Solace

 

[Qwerty]

The Matrix







and anything else with Keanu Reeves in it

 

[Slime]

Tommy and Pearl Harbour ....................... both utter rubbish in my view. Oh, and any Jaws after the first one.

Slime.

 

[Hobbit]

Skyfall - just about the worstest ever Bond film I've ever seen.

 

[chrisd]

I loved Gladiator - I managed to sleep through 90% of it!

 

[Sharktooth]

Cloud Atlas.

Lots of good actors in it, but man it is Lillian Gish

 

[MashieNiblick]

OK I'll admit it, I fell asleep watching the 7 Samurai. I also thought Citizen Kane was boring.

 

[blackpuddinmonster]

Escape from LA: utter garbage.
I'am Legend: started so well, ended so poorly. :angry:
Rocky 2,3,4.......you get the drift.

Blimey that's the first time I have ever heard someone say that.

Mainly heard people say its one of the best

What disappointed you about it ?

Read "I am Legend". Very good book

The Lone Ranger

Very disappointing, so much so I turned it off.
