Which film disappointed you the Most?

kirk buttercup

As the title suggest which film disappointed you the Most ?
For me Mad Max ( I know controversial )

Lorelli!

I wouldn't say it disappointed me because it was a good story but I remember thinking "wtf is that it?" at the end of Mean Streets. It's a long time since I've seen it though.

I also didn't like There Will Be Blood. I love most Daniel Day Lewis movies but I just didn't enjoy it.

Prometheus. The return of the Alien franchise should have been magnificent but the film was a mess.

That was the other one I was most disappointed with but didn't want to mention that and Mad Max in the same sentence for fear of getting lynched

Pawwed Rig

X men.
Could have been great but went too family orientated.

La la land

Utter ****e

Duvetdays

I fell asleep in cinema watching avatar pile of crap. Woke to drooling nacho cheese all over my chin.

Mister Vain

I thought Inception was crap.

Bad Santa 2 was another disappointment.

Stoner

That couple of Clint Eastwood movies
Flags of our fathers and the other one, was looking forward to them but they were muck

Dark Knight rises. Final batman movie

One of the most embarrassing , insulting to the fans endings to a movie ever. The movie had a real authentic natural ending 5 minutes earlier This was the ending the movie was building up to for years, and then descended into complete dopey sappiness. An ending an 11 year old girl would have written

Sad

Tom Mann Centuria

The World's End. It tried to be a bit of everything and failed at all of them. Unexciting thriller, poor romance, bland drama, dull sci fi and worst of all, unfunny comedy.

BabysCoffee

Moonlight.

La La Land should have won

D0NNELLY

Already posted but Avatar and Inception.

Avatar was a retelling of a story that's been done to death.
Inception was... boring.

Bowlardo

Suicide squad. superman, superman vs batman all dreadful.

Man of Steel. It had an amazing trailer. But whoever edited the trailer didn't do the movie, which was a mess.
I wasnt as disappointed for Batman vs Superman as I didn't go in with high hopes.

What is the actual criteria?

Like, is it just which film have you seen that you didn't like, the most? Or

Which were you excited to see and perhaps promised so much but in the end was a big let down?

Gibsons Mad Max or Tom Hardy's ?
If its the latter I couldn't agree more,Il add Watchmen to the list also.

Is this another thread brought over from AH? Judging by the stupid replies it has to be or else the film forum is increasingly becoming a very poor place to visit.

Couldn't agree more. Utter crap. Watched that and the absolutely awful Looper in the same week. Almost gave up in sci fi altogether after watching those pieces of muck.

riggerman

Ghost in the shell. Just watched the movie and no where as good as the anime

Wedwood

Movies that disappoint for me most tend to be bad sequels.

Rocky 5 - a boxing movie where Rocky doesnt box. (The street brawl doesn't count)

Quantum of Solace - forgettable rubbish with unwatchable Bourne style fast edit action scenes after reinventing Bond in the brilliant Casino Royale.

Alien 3 - Ruined the exhilarating end to Aliens by killing off all the surviving characters.

Zaph

Don't know if it's the film that disappointed me most, but certainly the film that disappointed me most recently was Arrival. Amy Adams was excellent in it, but having heard how great the film was, I really can't say I enjoyed it at all. I realise that I'm probably in a small minority here, but the whole film just felt like it was going nowhere to me.

OU812

Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Just home from it, it's a total mess & the best song on the soundtrack isn't even in the movie.

Exclamation Marc

Only God Forgives after the mastery that was Drive.

The Matrix sequels

Never heard of it

Sin City

Logan
Was overhyped and never lived up to its potential

My apologies if it doesn't meet your standards. I was watching Mad Max (Tom Hardy) the other night for a second time hoping Maybe I just missed something the first time and got thinking about this question. I put this in a film forum as it's a question about Film and I thought it would be appropriate here.

StringerBell

Going off that criteria I would probably put Mean Streets up there then, I didn't see it until my mid twenties and had heard so much about it and how great it was etc that when I did see it and it ended I was like "Is that it"? Good film of course, but underwhelming for me given how hyped it had been for me.

Star Wars Ep1 is another, can't get past Jar Jar. Ruined the entire film for me though it was better then Ep2 overall it disappointed more since I was more excited for the first.

There are others I'll get back to.

Alexander - the first draft of this film was utter pants from a director who had done no wrong up to that point. Was just a shambles of a film, even the music was offensive.
Stone did make a mends though and released a very different version a few years ago, which is in fact an excellent film.

The Hobbit.

I was a massive LOTR fan as a child and thought the movies did an amazing job of bringing that classic to the big screen. An adaption of The Hobbit should have had everything going for it, as a framework for a tight, exciting adventure movie it should have been a directors wet dream.

It was a mess. A complete and utter mess.

If you had told the child version of me that there would be a film version of the Hobbit released but I wouldn't bother going to see the 3rd and final part, I simply would not have believed you.

silverharp

recently Mr Nobody , watched it at the weekend with my wife and almost felt I'd should have apologised to her for having to sit through it and we both like sifi movies. Mad max fury road for me was a pile of kaka compared to the originals. The last Die Hard movie I switched off after about 30 minutes

I have a little bit of sympathy for them after seeing this

moonlighting

I was a big fan of the x-files back in the day. The last movie ( The X Files: I Want to Believe) they made was so horrible i was in shock after watching it in the cinema.
The x-files was usually about aliens and government conspiracies. What did they do in the movie, a story about a catholic pedophile priest. why.

Miley Byrne

Hacksaw Ridge - garbage

megaten

Only recent example I can think of is Hail Ceaser, trailer was amazing but the main character and his dilemma just wasn't interesting.

quadrifoglio verde

Moonlight

It was the film I was most looking forward to see this year. Just couldn't get into it.
Found it far too slow and boring.
And it's a shame because I know so many love it

NUTLEY BOY

BEWITCHED (2005 ?).

Principal actor Nicole Kidman.

The film had great potential to be funny but it was just so clunky that it never actually worked. A classical example of a film better not to have been made.

I saw re-runs of the TV series that preceded the film and it was good for it's time. Elizabeth Montgomery was Samantha the witch. The film version was a non-event by contrast with the TV version.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

My expectations tend to be kind of low going into a lot of hyped movies these days, but Ghost in the Shell was particualrly disappointing. Felt the story line was muddled and I never really gave a **** about the characters.

X-Men Apolalypse would be another one - I think the superhero movie genre has hit saturation point by this stage.

Dots1982

Anchorman 2, almost ruined the original for me with the jokes being so forced

Slutmonkey57b

Everything by the Coen brothers, which multiple friends and film critics have hyped as the best at everything; invariably boring, stereotypical characters spouting nonsense dialogue which is barely a step above the farrelly brothers. Barely. I've given up listening to their earnest entreaties now and life is better for it.

Hanwellian

Bridge Of Spies.

Ironman76

In a land of disappointing movies, Man of Steel is king. . .

RocketRaccoon

I thought Moonlight was painfully boring. Nothing really happened in it and I just cannot understand how it won best picture this year. Lion and Manchester by the sea were vastly superior.

mdwexford

Anchorman 2
Zoolander 2
Dumb and Dumber To

Originals all hilarious, the long delayed sequels, awful.

I haven't even bothered with Hail Caesar after being seriously disappointed by Burn After Reading - I think the Coen's have lost their knack for comedy.

Anyone disappointed in any sequel - why? There have been so few worthwhile sequels over the years and so so many bad ones, I would never watch a sequel with any great optimism. If it's half decent that's a result.

If anyone even mentions Interstellar as being bad I'm going to ...................

There are 2 types of people in this world.

1: People who understand Interstellar.

2: People who don't understand Interstellar.

And that's it!
