you people are KILLING me, LOTR, harry potter, star wars are among my favorite all time movies! same with gladiator.
hated:
monsters ball: that was a horrible movie. the story sucked, so did the acting. i don't know how in hell halle berry won the oscar, becuase she was awful.
AI, artificial intelligance: i couldn't even finish the damn thing. it was horrible. Waaaaaay too much going on
one flew over the cookoo's nest: i will say this though, the acting was fantastic. the story was what i hated. they KILLEd the book, and that really pissed me off. i enjoyed the book very much, and to see it be destroyed like that really made me mad.
ben hur: i thought it was about chariot races, it was mostly about jesus and religion. i was very disappointed
signs: very disappointing movie, very boring. plus the alien dudes were really wierd and fake looking
excalibur: boooooring. i'll have to read the book it's based on, but the movie itself had no flow and was just way too boring.
Well I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. For me A.I., Cookoo's Nest, and Signs are great storys and very decent films.
I guess we're not picking on the low grade films in this thread, just the blockbusters.
I couldn't get into any Harry Potter or LOTR films and could not finish watching them. Which I was surprised by because since I practically grew up at the cinema, I can sit through almost any film. My father took me to work with him every night and I have sat through some real bombs of the 70's and early 80's.
Recent films that sucked:
Crash
Batman Begins
The Amityville Horror (new version)
The Longest Yard (new version)
Fever Pitch (or almost any film with Drew Barrymore)
The Ring Two
Hitch
Be Cool
Boogeyman
Team America World Police (Had two funny parts but that's it.)
White Noise (interesting but stupid ending)
Kinsey
Assault on Precinct 13
Lemony Snicket's Unfortunate film. (Carrey at his absolute worst.)
Meet the Fockers
Ocean's Twelve (should not have been made, the Julia Roberts pretending to be Julia Roberts part was completely over the top and unentertaining.)
I could go on, but these are recent DVD releases that just stink IMO.
