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?

La La Land

A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) is the worst film I have ever seen at the cinema. Someone did the Dom Joly thing with his phone about half way through and someone else yelled 'Is this fucking film ever going to end!' Nobody got annoyed or shushed them, just laughed at the distraction from the pile of shite on the screen.

AI made me cry nearly all the way through I will NEVER watch that damn film again! Wtf

Rafflesway · 13/08/2017 20:50

Yaaay Dora, thought it was just me!

Dunkirk was dire IMO and I usually love historical films.

Couldn't work out what was happening, no character names to relate to. Came across to us as pretentious rubbish.

Could have been SOOO good bearing in mind the detail they had to work with. No doubt it will be up for and win numerous Oscars though. 🙄

Phantom of the fucking Opera was HEINOUS and I watch any old shit.

FaithAgain · 14/08/2017 07:50

Gosh is forgotten they even did Phantom as a film.. I've obviously blocked it from my mind it was that bad!

gabsdot · 18/08/2017 08:41

We watched Life the other day.
Rubbish. From the grinning Russian woman to Jake G's sad eyes.
Total crap.

Liiinoo · 20/08/2017 08:35

The Revenant was dire.

I know each to his own and all that but I have to take issue with the PP who criticised Postcards from the Edge. I love that movie. I have copies of that, Beaches and Circle of Friends in our holiday home and they make the perfect 'rainy afternoon in front of the fire' entertainment.

La la land

Buttercupsandaisies · 24/08/2017 21:17

I walked out of About Shmidt - the only film I've ever walked out on. Also hated the revanant. I appreciated it as a fun but lord was it long!!

Watched one called the hangman the other night. God it was shite

youvegottobekidding · 26/08/2017 21:18

My biggest disappointment was bloody Independence Day 2, I really enjoyed the first one (well I was a lot younger!) and was looking forward to the 2nd one but OMG, wtf? They absolutely lost the plot! It just didn't reasonate - they may as well have not fucking bothered at all, what a total waste of about 2 hrs of my life watching that utter shite -well I probably wasn't actually watching it, I ended up on my phone for most of it!

Minecraftfan · 29/08/2017 21:44

Hot Fuzz
Shawn of the dead
Killer clowns from outer space was so dreadful it became good.
Kung Pow
The Cube
12 Monkeys
Bring it on

itsatiggerday · 29/08/2017 22:02

Can I add Babel? I avoid mislit. Didn't realise that should have included this wretched film. By the time they're losing children in the Mexican desert I couldn't bear it any longer.

missg00se · 29/08/2017 22:02

The Lobster. My God, what a pile of shite. I'm still furious about it.

Steaksauce · 29/08/2017 22:14

Smokin' Aces -fell asleep in the cinema
Snatch - ditto
The Tourist (I think? That Johnny Depp/Angelina Jolie one) utter pants
ET - yawn
Star Wars (all of them) - dull
Mrs Doubtfire
Vanilla Sky - it was on TV, gave up about 20 mins from the end, I mean seriously wtf is going on in that film?!
Speed 2
All the fast and furious films
Eat Pray Love

SenoritaViva · 29/08/2017 22:14

Coyote Ugly - watched years ago and remember how awful it was like yesterday

Lost in translation went over my head

Theweasleytwins · 29/08/2017 22:14

Prince of Persia

Steaksauce · 29/08/2017 22:28

That film that Britney Spears was in. It was so dire I can't even remember the name.

The Nutty Professor

The Waterboy

Meet the Parents - I cannot stand that much cringe and sitting there thinking that the situation can't get any worse whilst it continues to get worse

Movie 43 - looked at who was in it, thought it would be good. It wasn't.

MusicToMyEars800 · 08/09/2017 17:46

Ice Sharks, I don't even know how to describe it... pure utter tosh, completely crap and the acting was dire.

Jem55 · 09/09/2017 19:26

Worst film ever???? Osiris.....the one I'm being forced to watch now!!!!!!!!

UsedToBeAPaxmanFan · 09/09/2017 19:34

I can't believe someone said Silver Linings Playboy - I love that film

I watched "Bad Moms" on a plane last year. I knew it would be trashy but thought it would be a bit like Bridesmaids which I quite enjoyed. But it was dire.

I sat through 15 minutes of Mamma Mia and then had to turn it off. It was atrocious. Meryl, what were you thinking???

RumDo · 09/09/2017 22:04

LaLa Land, Les Mis, Gravity, The Sweeney, Waterworld, Bridesmaids, Godzilla, Nightmare Before Christmas, Annabelle...
all varying shades of shit, but not really surprised.

The Revenant, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Brooklyn, You Before Me, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Clueless, Lost in Translation, Wreck It Ralph, Sophie's Choice, Its a Wonderful Life, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Birdcage ... films I think I'm supposed to like but, really, really don't. Mostly tedious, over hyped, underwhelming shite.

Some films I thought I'd hate but actually really enjoyed: The Artist, Moonlight, Apocalypto, Hateful 8, Picnic at Hanging Rock, No Country for Old Men, Cowboys v Aliens Grin
