Movie that disappointed you the most?

09-22-2004, 11:40 AM

I'd have to say the first Men in Black.

I saw it in theatres on the opening day (I could barely sleep the night before I was so excited)...but when the film was over, I was left sorely disappointed. I think it could have been much better than it was, and even could have been a classic. They just didn't get it right, imho.

THX 1138

X2 X Men United

The Bourne Supremecy

The Thin Red Line (Terrence Malicks version)

Spider Man 1

Spawn

The Punisher

Hulk

As a comic movie fanboy, I suppose I'm difficult to please. But come on...there's no way in hell that those should've turned out as anything less than kick-ass.

At least Spider-Man 2 did.

The Village

I had such high hopes for this movie it's not even funny.

Than what do ya know? It backfires

Daredevil is a comic-book film that really disappointed me. I thought it looked so cool, but no, I hated it. Until I saw Gigli, I referred to it as the worst movie I had ever seen.

Ditto. I was so pumped for that movie. Ang Lee, Jennifer Connelly and Eric Bana, you can't go wrong, right? Apparently you can.

Star Wars
Matrix 2 and 3
Kill Bill Vol 2

It wasn't the plot that was the problem, it was the silly effects and the stupid comic book style frames.

It wasn't a terrible movie, I was just disappointed.

09-23-2004, 08:24 PM

Those frames were so freakin annoying!

Matrix 1, 2 and 3, i was'nt disappointed cause i hated them from the start but i hate that ****ing movie, sucks balls for living

09-25-2004, 12:42 AM

I liked the attempt at a deep plot that Hulk made. It just didn't work the way they did it. The frames and stuff just gave me a headache, and they spent a good half hour showing Bruce growing up and telling us he keeps his feelings bottled up instead of showing Banner bottling up his feelings. And the whole nanothings was unnecessary. I said in another thread that one of the themes of the Hulk was that Banner was working on a weapon of mass destruction, the gamma bomb, and in doing so became one himself.

If there is a sequel, they should just stick to the formula of Banner gets pissed/Hulk Smash/Banner tries to cure himself/Army chases Banner/Army pisses Banner off/Hulk Smashes Army/Jennifer Connelly shows her boobies/repeat.

Oh yeah, and Daredevil sucked ass.

So did Matrix 2. Here's a hint Wachowskis...not everything has to be CGI! I swear, if someone in one of their movies sneezes, they'd have CGI snot flying out of their nose. I didn't even bother with the last one.

I know this wasn't in the theater, but I thought that "Stitch: The Movie" was really stupid. It wasn't even a squeal to the movie because I found out that they are making a "Lilo & Stitch 2" (probably coming out sometime next year). I also didn't like "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen". It looked really good and funny in the commercials, but it wasn't all that great or really funny when I went to see it.

I hated White Chicks, some parts were funny but other than that it sucked.

I agree, my friend made me go see it, I thought it looked stupid and horribly sterotypical of both white people and black people, and it was. The Wayans brothers are usually funny...this was a movie that went sour

R@H · 09-29-2004, 07:57 AM

Teaching mrs Tingle, I wanted to see it so bad cause Katie had the lead part and Kevin Williamson wrote and directed the movie but it was a huge dissapointment

solo1 · 10-01-2004, 07:28 PM

I liked Teaching Mrs. Tingle! Of course, I was watching it with the sound down, so maybe not.

I was disappointed very much by the Matrix 2 and 3. I had no idea what the hell was going on for most of them. Shame, I really liked the first one.

Also, Cold Mountain. I had been promised great things by fans of Anthony Minghella, and it was soporific, predictable...

JenniferNoble · 10-02-2004, 08:57 AM

legally blonde 2. the first one was sooooo funny and the second one just..not.

**Jocasta** · 10-07-2004, 02:21 PM

Bully.

I'd heard great things but sadly I was disappointed. That's not to say it was bad, just didn't live up to the hype.

If you want a revenge movie, with tragic consequences then you'd do better with 'O'.

**andrew r** · 10-07-2004, 02:40 PM

Matrix Revolutions. The 2nd was a great action film, the 1st being one of the best sci fi movies of the past 10 years. But the 3rd one sucked. It was all set up for a huge battle with the machines, and then....nothing. I'd have been p*ssed off at the machines for enslaving me for all of my life, but no war happened.

To quote Bart Simpson: 'It sucks and blows'.
