Well, that's two hours of my life I'll never get back- disappointing films you've seen?

Last night I snuggled down in clean PJs with popcorn and wine to watch the much-hyped "Girl on a Train". I noticed it was on Amazon Prime yesterday morning as was looking forward all day to watching it.

Well, what a completely bloody waste of time that was.

It was absolute horse shit and I genuinely went to bed feeling a bit deflated.

What disappointing films have you seen that you wish you hadn't bothered with?

I like to have something on in background while I do my puzzles and for some reason I've chosen Mamma Mia. God it's awful, I've never seen the stage production but I would, it clearly doesn't translate well into the screen though

Ooooo into the woods as well. Did like it...Ish but it never seemed to end! Halfway through was good then as it kept going less so

Argeles · 09/08/2017 22:58

Breakfast at Tiffany's (not awful, but nothing like how I'd imagined it).

Gangs of New York.

I walked out of wild Wild West and flubber

KERALA1 · 09/08/2017 23:29

God yes moonlight. So dull and overrated. Loved la la land though

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 09/08/2017 23:33

High-rise, bloody pretentious rubbish and The Witch, so depressing

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 10/08/2017 12:41

Oh god, I forgot 'Vanilla Sky' - Jesus fuck, what a pile of shit that was.

'Under The Skin' was weird and unwatchable, plus the soundtrack was DIRE. I've never found Scarlett Johansson to be a very engaging actress anyway, but the whole thing was odd and it really did feel like a waste of time watching it.

AnneGrommit · 10/08/2017 12:43

The original version of Vanilla Sky was very good though. I thought so, anyway.

Undecidedexpat · 10/08/2017 23:28

Well. I finally watched The Girl On The Train. Yep, I feel like I've wasted a few hours (but glad for the warning, so I've only been half watching). As you've all said, there were no likeable characters, so you don't really care.

Bridesmaids
Blair Witch
Gravity
Prometheus
All dreadful

thingsthatgobumpinthenightouch · 10/08/2017 23:56

Oh and I hated silver linings playbook. Fabulous acting but the film itself was Confused

N0tNowBernard · 12/08/2017 14:22

Sorry guys but I'm gonna say it. Mulholland Drive.

I wanted to like it as I do like Lynch, but it was too much of a struggle to work out what was going on!! If anyone can explain it to me I would appreciate it.

mumistheword14 · 12/08/2017 14:29

Before sunset-so boring.
Fist fight-didn't find it funny at all.

BourbonMick · 12/08/2017 14:34

We started watching The Babadook. Had to turn it off. I'm a complete wimp who's scared by everything and even I was bored.

N0tNowBernard · 12/08/2017 14:35

Oooo Bourbon, Babadook scared me

EsmesBees · 12/08/2017 14:42

I'm ill so stick in bed with Netflix. I've just watched What to Expect when you're Expecting. Horrible, patronising, predictable rubbish.

hellokittymania · 12/08/2017 14:43

Don't watch something on Netflix called Okje. I love Asian things and this was a bit weird even for me. I fell asleep on it though, so if you have insomnia, maybe it might be good.

n0ne · 12/08/2017 15:05

Yep, too late. Okja was really odd. And I like Asian films too, and weird films, but it was just a bit...pointless.

IHaveBrilloHair · 12/08/2017 16:33

If you're looking for a good film on Netflix then I loved Handsome Devil recently, also Holding the man which is now a favourite.

Coconutspongexo · 12/08/2017 20:55

Hated Ted
Struggled with Girl on the Train
I remember going to see 'youth in revolt' in the pictures and wanting to cry with boredom, not actually sure what even happens in that film I just switched off.

Coconutspongexo · 12/08/2017 20:55

Mother's Day is also pretty shite

doraismissing · 12/08/2017 21:01

Dunkirk

We v rarely go to the cinema as a couple. Wished I had stayed at home and watched paint dry.

slightlyglittermaned · 12/08/2017 23:37

DP was really looking forward to Dunkirk. He thought it was merely ok. Not up to the hype at all.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/08/2017 11:31

YY about girl on a train. I couldn't make head nor tail of it

dustarr73 · 13/08/2017 11:40

A good film on Netflix is Doubting Thomas.
