Birdman
How that won an Oscar I will never know.
I nearly left DH for making us sit through it. He kept saying, wait, it's just getting started. By ten minutes before the end he actually turned and apologised to me Grin

QueenOfLouisiana it's awful isn't it. I also switched it off after 20 minutes. I can't believe the rave reviews. It could've been so much cleverer but it was just swearing overload, a tonne of racism and not much else. I hated it Angry

ginghambox · 28/08/2018 22:06

The Dark Tower.Totally miscast Idris Elba, if you think he could be James Bond watch his shite performance in this.
Battlefield Earth
Son of the Mask
Exorcist II: The Heretic
Blair Witch 1 & 2

Moshi Monsters - 90 minutes of my life I’ll never get back from this technicolour trip

I havent even watched it yet but no way is Idris Elba 'Roland' just why? He is where near fits the description in the books.
I so wanted to see this in film as tne whole book series was awesome but i dont want it ruined.😐

Oliversmumsarmy · 28/08/2018 22:22

Mamma Mia 2

It was embarrassing

LakieLady · 28/08/2018 22:28

Any film with the word "Bourne" in the title.

Another vote for The English Patient. That was the film that made me vow never to see a film based on a book I loved.

Lalliella · 28/08/2018 22:30

Titanic

StroppyWoman · 28/08/2018 22:31

I used to be a local paper film reviewer, so I saw EVERYTHING whether I wanted to or not.

Sliver and True Lies were the most revolting I saw. Misogynistic, voyeuristic and revolting

myusernamewastakenbyme · 28/08/2018 22:32

David Cronenbergs Crash....some drivel about people having a fetish for missing limbs.....to be fair even the staff tried to tell us it was shit but we went ahead and bought tickets anyway.....

MrBull · 28/08/2018 22:32

Inception

newplacenofriends · 28/08/2018 22:34

thoroughbreds

newplacenofriends · 28/08/2018 22:35

posted to soon

thoroughbreds was absolutly awful so was my cousin rachel.

popular films I hate have to be la la land and harry potter (but no where near as much as thoroughbreds and my cousin rachel!!!)

mummypeepee · 28/08/2018 22:37

The perfect storm, everyone died so no one could’ve told them what happened so it’s all made up and it was shit anyways

JellyBears · 28/08/2018 22:38

The shape of water,

9amTrain · 28/08/2018 22:39

District 9. Saw it in the cinema with a group of friends and just couldn't get into it.

Absolute shit.

Jb291 · 28/08/2018 22:43

Mamma Mia - Pointless cringeworthy shit

Sex and The City 2 - Who the hell signed off on this garbage being made?

Slap Her She's French - I was dragged to see this whilst I was a student. Shite doesn't begin to cover how appallingly bad this was.

Blair Witch - I still don't understand all the ridiculous scaremongering hype about this drivel

I'm fairly sure there are more really bad ones but these were the ones that have stayed with me for all the wrong reasons.

greendale17 · 28/08/2018 22:52

American Hustle closely followed by The Wolf of Wall Street

Babybearsporij · 28/08/2018 22:57

The Happening.

Nothing happened.

PrimalLass · 28/08/2018 23:00

The Waterboy. Because I paid to see that shite

THIS. I had to think back to see if I posted this and name changed. But no. It is truly truly dreadful.

alibongo5 · 28/08/2018 23:02

I'm fairly certain that my worst ones haven't been mentioned:

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN - The Grinch.
Was in a bad mood for the rest of the day. And when my kids put it on their Christmas list to aunties and uncles I would cross it off before passing the list on.
Reds - yonks ago, but so so tedious. Kept thinking it was coming to an end but it just kept on. Even when the main character (Warren Beatty died) I thought that must be the end.... but no it kept on!
Anna Karenina with Helena Bonham Carter - very pretentious, set in a theatre. Just kept hoping for the train to come
Phantom Thread - boring, nothing happened.
Brideshead Revisited - totally tedious. Considering how much material was in the tv series, how was the film so boring? Would have walked out but I was with a group of friends. But I was so irritated by it.
Saving Private Ryan - everyone seems to love it except me. Yes, the battle scene was well filmed. But the whole "Oh Mrs Ryan has lost two sons, we must save the third" - really? As if. Let's put a whole squadron of soldiers at risk to save one. Pah!
Genova - Colin Firth film where nothing happened.
Of those others have mentioned, I can see why Mamma Mia would irritate - when I first saw it I loved it in a very cheesy way, knowing it was crap, then I hated it, now I love it again. Will happily watch rom coms again - always a feel good.
Love Moulin Rouge, Les Mis and La La Land. Wanted and expected to love The Greatest Showman but only liked it.
SATC2 - hated it, embarrassing. Xenophobic. Quite revolting.

ethelfleda · 28/08/2018 23:02

Lord of the rings. I just don’t get it.

LordBuckley · 28/08/2018 23:10

I saw the original Solaris (not the George Clooney one) directed by Tarkovsky, and it was so boring I actually fell asleep after 10 minutes, which has never happened to me in a cinema before.

Lizzie48 · 28/08/2018 23:28

I disagree about the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars films, they're all fab. (I fell asleep through the Hobbit, though, so not so good.)

I did like Titanic but it was far too slow-moving at the start. I was shouting at the screen (in my head, as I was at the cinema) for the ship to hit the flipping iceberg so that the action could start.

As for films I hate, well anything connected with Barbie, with Frozen not far behind. But that's because I'm a mum of DDs!! Grin

alibongo5 · 28/08/2018 23:28

Oh god yes, I forgot about the Hobbit. One short book, drawn out to - was it three films? Bloody hell, "let's look at the mountains" and then, lots of walking through mountains and pointing. Why did I think the second one might be better than the first?
