I was really excited to see such a comedy cast as Horrible Bosses but it turned out to be just not that funny. Extremely disappointing.
I'm sure everyone thought that The Hangover 2 was going to be a new fresh adventure for the guys but instead the script was exactly the same with a change here and there

Ides of March. - superb performances undermined by a very weak plot

The Inbetweeners Movie - not a patch on the TV series.

Ides of March - such a cast should not have disappointed as much as it did.

Cowboys & Aliens - I had expected it to be brilliant, but it was god awful...
The Thing - Was looking forward to it, had gotten hyped up, but wanted to walk out halfway through watching it...

The Ides of March - Great performances but the plot is simplistic and unoriginal. A missed opportunity if ever there was one.

Scream 4 - A boring remake of the original without a hint of wit or originality

Super 8. A weak attempt at re-creating E.T. for a new generation!

Green Lantern - Even the embarassing trailers could not prevent my disappointment upon viewing this.

Tinker Tailor - Enjoyed the performances, the film itself....I think it suffered from what a few felt it would suffer from i.e. too much to fit into a 2 hour film.
