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

[TheEmojiMovieLooksShite]

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?

Interesting all the negative reviews about Baby Driver. All the official reviews are glowing.

@BeautyGoesToBenidorm I thought I might be the only person to see American Mary! Not my type of film but I didn't hate it.

Not as much as I hate the Fast and Furious films though I love a lot of these though - Watchmen and Avatar are particular favourites. I guess I like blue people

I quite liked girl on a train.

YY to lost in translation.
Matchpoint.
K19: The widowmaker
The notebook
Mona Lisa smile (really liked it the first time, second was just AWFUL).

Oh and the hobbit.

baby Driver I enjoyed it - good soundtrack. It was LaLa land crossed with Pulp Fiction. Not great - but perfectly OK.

Titanic, Eyes Wide Shut and Gravity - would have walked out of them all if not been stuck in the middle of a row.

Did walk out of Les MIserables half way through.

Only two films I have ever walked out of the cinema:

Lost in Translation
Guardians of the Galaxy

There have been others that I've stuck out and just thought "meh" about and I'll generally sit through any type of film but those really were such total shite.

Two that immediately sprung to mind are "Collateral" and "Boomdock Saints"

Although the Peppa Pig movie made me want to poke my own eyes out and even the 2yo who adores the damn pig was bored 15 minutes from the end.

Mamma Mia - wanted to cut my own ears off

Michael Clayton - gave up after 3 times of trying to give a shit about what was happening.

The Good Girl. I normally like Jennifer Anniston, but I just didn't understand the point of the film...

I think she gave a great performance in that film. She really lost all of her Rachel/Jennifer mannerisms. It's not a film I'd rush to see again though.

The Grand Budapest Hotel. So many friends raved about it but I just couldn't get into it at all.

Anna Karenina with Keira Knightly. Beautifully done but the characterisations of the main characters was utterly dull. Some great supporting roles, but not enough screentime for them.

John Wick2

Formulaic shite, even with the fucking pencil. Just utter shite. All the old lines told again, like a toddler who got a laugh once upon a time by saying something and now repeats on loop. So disappointing, but not unheard of for Keanu to be in big miss.

Loved John wick1 though.

I loved Michael Clayton, and loved lost in translation, thought beauty and the beast was somehow lacking as the camera didn't stay on people's faces. Seemed strangely artsy in that regard. Bad director I suppose.

I thought Smoke was shite.
And the notebook was shite too.
And Jenifer Anniston movies generally suck.

Love Tolkien but hated the hobbit: another bad director.

Loved 28days with Sandra bullock.
I liked bridesmaids, it was truthfully raw in parts!

Memoirs of a Geisha. Absolute shite and the only time I've walked out of a cinema. It was so, so slow. The book was OK so maybe I had high expectations?

Vanilla Sky. The bit where Cameron Diaz bleats about tasting Tom Cruises jizz nearly caused me to blind myself due to an epic over eye roll.

Ginny You hated The Hobbit. What did you think of Lord of the Rings?

I've just seen War of the Planet of the Apes. Shite. Everyone's raving about it, I loved Rise and Dawn. So bloody disappointed with this one.

I really hated that they wrung three 3 hour films out of The Hobbit which is not a particularly long book. Clearly trying to cash in on the success of the LOTR trilogy.

Agree with bridesmaids - awful awful movie

Passenger - could actually feel my soul dying with this one

Emoji movie - the reason our cinema has a bar I'm sure

I can't believe there's a film about Emojis!

Love this thread as I find most films boring - they have to be great or I lose concentration.

I watched Lion on Amazon Prime the other day and it is fantastic. (And incredibly sad as well as uplifting).

Really recommend it.

Much as I loved LOTR and love many of the actors in the Hobbit (Thorin completely displaced Aragorn in my Tolkien list of hotties), 3 films of the Hobbit, the introduction of Tauriel and inserting Legolas in all made it not so great.

Lord of the Rings was surely one of the great trilogies of the noughties. The Hobbit - not so much.

And yy to Guardians of the Galaxy, awful.

Snap swoosh. The hobbit was a great book, but three sodding films... death knell.

I liked the fellowship of the ring, but helms deep as half the feffin movie for round two? and the supposedly spooky green effects of the men under the mountain was like watching someone ruin a Rembrandt with a crayola, and the never ending return of the king was a film that went ever on and on.
I'm not even going to mention the, ahem, so called 'humorous' dwarfs.

Peter Jackson is a "do you want fries with that" fan boy, and made terrible films. He butchered the story for cheap laughs and thrills. Ugh.

Maybe I should feel you how I really feel.....

Oh Jesus, I'd expunged the love triangle of the makie-uppy "she"elf! Double ugh.
