    I decided to watch Chain Letter last night, and wished that I'd read the reviews on IMDB first, because it was pure hogwash, and I assumed that someone had accidentally erased the ending, or that Sky had fucked up and missed it out.:(

    Dead Island was one of my favourite games of last year... the most visceral melee combat game ever made imo.

    The Phantom Menace was definitely a huge let down. I remember being so excited to see it, my friend had come back from New York having seen it and said it was ****e, I wanted to punch him... when i eventually saw I was gutted.

    if you think its the worst movie ever watch Meet The Spartans, that actually may be the worst movie ever :pac:

    Not even close,Charle One-Eye is the worst film ever made.Myself and the mates watched it about 15 years ago.We still talk about it after all this time ,we use it as a benchmark for crap films.To this day nothing any of us has seen has been worse than this. "a film about 2 outlaws and a one-eyed chicken hiding in a church"

    Funny, was just thinking today of how good the final Terminator Salvation trailer was and how crap the movie turned out to be:

    Alexander was the biggest pile of donkey excrement but the trailer made it out to be good

    I do the same with "Vanilla Sky" by far and away the most ****e movie I've seen.

    Because bad movies, I mean REALLY bad movies, are a whole f*cking artform by themselves.

    The Room isn't bad, it's a classic! You'd be hard pressed to find a better comedy :D

    I can't comment on whether the film itself was good or bad because I was so thrown by the fact that the trailer seemed to be for a completely different film. The actual movie was so unexpected that my brain shut down.

    Hot Tub Time Machine

    I'm not saying I expected it to be great or anything, but thought it would be a decent switch-your-brain-off-and-have-a-laugh-at-comedy type film. The trailer was funny, but it turned out that the scenes in the trailer were literally the only funny parts of the whole damn thing.

    Awful film.

    I think it's a comedy classic! Love it!

    Hated it on first viewing, really liked it second time around. Its a grower alright...

    'Aoen flux' for me, love Sc Fi but the movie had a great idea for me but totally failed to live up to the hype.

    Pretty much all trailers. The worst is when you watch a film and realise you'd seen all the good bits along with the entire plot in the trailer.

    Not exactly following the thread title but I completely disagree. MGS3 is the best game in the series! My sig may gave away that I'm a fan :D

    As for trailers, I thought the Battle: Los Angeles trailer was fantastic. Music is excellent and it doesn't give too much away which is nice for a change.

    I was looking extremely forward to it and it turned out to be a below average cheesy movie. :(

    The film Solaris with George Clooney - what a disappointment. But the trailer looked class - dead people coming back to life in outer space... is what it seemed to be.

    Super 8, looked amazing and was voted most anticipated film of 2011, but it turned out to be a very disappointing film:( I was so excited to see it.

    Contagion...absolutely terrible, great but misleading trailer, the trailer led on that it would be non stop action , but it was very far from it.

    Oh ye +1 dead island.

    Inception is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Whether or not the Christopher Nolan is Jimmy Golden Balls from Hollywood is irrelevant to me. It was pure gash.

    I'm curious to know what you find out what you class as a decent film and a amazing film?


    I thought Inception was incredible, really got into it.

    I watched "Knowing" last weekend.
    Sweet baby Jesus that was one steaming pile of shíte!
    I should've known when I saw Nicholas Cage but I thought it didn't look too bad. Man was I wrong.
