Similar to another thread but just the opposite

The new Star Wars - My god i was so looking forward to that - but GL just turned it into a giant arse Sandwich. Were to start???? Jar Jar. Nope I can't carry on - I want to cry now......

Alexander - A paddy Greek!! Ok I know he was not greek, but its late and I can't think to spell where he is from

Terminator 3 - Film too far.

Indy Jones iv - Good to the last 15 mins and then a total train wreck

Troy - Brad was so Wooden I got splinters

Transformers - Once you see the robots change once it was dull. Story was piss poor.

There will be others - i have upset myself now just thinking I paid to watch all these at the pictures

Obviously not enough therapy and navel gazing, on our behalf.

Love Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman.

fawkeoff · 22/06/2008 12:02

MKG · 22/06/2008 12:21

Juno--that movie sucked.

Caz10 · 22/06/2008 12:23

aaaw i loved lost in translation...

this is very old, but I almost divorced dh after he made me sit through that one with meg ryan and russell crow - proof of life?

Fanella · 23/06/2008 12:44

American Beauty.

Load of old tosh.

TillyScoutsmum · 23/06/2008 12:47

Lost in Translation was completely lost on me as well. Utter tripe

Ronin must win the prize for the most pointless film ever

Moulin Rouge was a bit too weird for me as well

pagwatch · 23/06/2008 12:49

The Good Shepherd

snored through the first half twice.

Absoloutely beautiful to look at, great cast but .....

Fanella · 23/06/2008 12:49

Oh I like Moulin Rouge but agree entirely about Lost In Translation.

I'm trying to think of more....

Ledodgy · 23/06/2008 12:51

Atonement. I love the book but the film cut lots of bits out at the beginning which meant the intensity was lost. I turned it off half way through.

francagoestohollywood · 23/06/2008 12:59

American beauty

Lost in translation (tough actually I kind of expected it to be crap... having seen sophia coppola's the virgins suicide, which was watchable only because of Josh Hartnett)

Star wars episode one. But I loved ep 3.

PuppyMonkey · 23/06/2008 13:02

Actually, I didn't rate Shaun of the Dead at all (sorry Fawkeoff ). Everyone kept telling me it was hilarious and I sat there waiting to lmao. Never happened. Just thought it v.dull with no belly laughs or good lines.

themoon66 · 23/06/2008 13:10

The Happening... biggest pile of shite I've seen in a long while. Whole cinema was laughing at the seriously bad acting. I'm still wondering if it was meant to be a spoof but none of us quite got it.

Agree with all the others on the thread.. Lost in Translation, Da Vinci Code, last Matrix one etc.

Making guns out of body parts....yuck!

Flashman · 23/06/2008 14:03

Borat - god, we hated it. Had to switch it off when he started harrassing the sweet Jewish b&b owners. Don't get it at all.

geekgirl · 23/06/2008 14:06

ooh yes and I see 'Premonition' has already been mentioned. What a steaming pile of cack that was.

rookiemater · 23/06/2008 14:07

Brokeback Mountain. Started watching it on Saturday night, DH was out at beer festival, said he didn't feel like watching DVD of gay cowboys. 20 minutes in nothing had happened, too bored to watch any more.

Oh yes English Patient as well, me and my friend called him Mr Krusty.

Haven't been to see Borad, because I know I would hate it.
