    Prometheus - so much potential, but such a poor script.
    The Dark Knight Rises - not a bad movie, but certainly the weakest of the three. Catwomen turned into Bat Girl and I got the distinct impression that Nolan was tiring of the franchise.

    Prometheus: felt more like a rehash of the original Alien than anything fresh and new. Not a bad film, but could/should have been so much better.

    The Amazing Spider-Man: Despite promising to tell the 'untold story' it ended up being a copy n' paste job of the first Raimi movie.

    Prometheus - get the impression it wasn't sure what it wanted to be.
    Taken 2 - a film that just makes no sense at all.after the brilliance of the first one,this was chronic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,731 ✭✭✭Bullseye1


    Prometheus. Although not without some good points ultimately disappointing when compared to Alien.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,692 ✭✭✭Jarren


    Another vote for Prometheus, very disappointed with that movie.

    It had a great potential but just went arseways with unnecessary heavy editing.

    Had much bigger expectations tbh.

    Prometheus - After all the hype, such a let down.

    The Dark Knight Rises - OK, so it tied up the loose ends, completed the trilogy etc etc, but such a let down.

    Prometheus, for about half an hour I was sitting thinking I cant wait until this gets going, and then....rubbish.

    Normally, Cillian Murphy can do no wrong for me, but this didn't work.

    Lawless - Not what I was expecting from John Hillcoat. Seemed he didn't want to depress everyone again, á la The Road.

    Taken 2 - The first one was a surprise hit but this one just stinked of cashing in.

    The Master


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    Prometheus - Seems to be a popular choice. It was just a mess of a movie that should have been brilliant. Also the intelligent design overtones pissed me off.

    Looper - Critics seemed to like it, but i thought it was pure and total crap from start to finish, even the very premise of using time travel to send back murder victims was just stupid - as if the mob have trouble killing people without a time machine! If there was a time machine, surely using it to win the euromillions and play the stock exchange would be better uses!

    Prometheus - so much potential, but such a poor script.
    The Dark Knight Rises - not a bad movie, but certainly the weakest of the three. Catwomen turned into Bat Girl and I got the distinct impression that Nolan was tiring of the franchise.


    Cant choose between them, althougj TDKR for me was the greater let down because of TDK!

    But without doubt, most disappoiniting simply has to go to Alex Cross..... I simply have no words for that movie


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    The Master was very disappointing. A lot of scenes where it seemed the audience were supposed to just admire the craft-work but the emperor really didn't have any clothes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭eyeball kid


    I'd go with Prometheus. It was pretty well made but there were just so many questions at the end of the film, it just turned into a mess. Very disappointed with it.
