I've seen threads on here recommending movies.
Can we have one so people can avoid really really bad movies, you would tell people to avoid.
I'll start with 2 I have watched this week.
Insidious
The Last Excorcism

social network - dreadful
The Hurt Locker - yes I know it was critically acclaimed but it was boring!!!
I haven't watched either of those movies. I bought tthe Kings Speech (and I am going to leave my typo in for comedy effect), but I had to switch it off after 30 minutes, snooooze.
The Great Gatsby - the only film I have ever found so boring that I walked out of the cinema.
My daughter had to do the book for her AS Eng Lit last year - the book bored her so much that she couldn't read it, so I had to buy the DVD so that she could get the story, and I tried to watch it. I walked out again

Noooooooo Cinds. I watched that yesterday for the first time. I loved it
I loved the Kings Speech
And Insidious.
BUT Inception - after the first 15 minutes I knew I would be turning it off.
And I did...

I know
Are you impressed?
Oooh Rexi, films I've walked out of the cinema. One of the Alien films, and a James Bond one. This year I wanted to walk out of 'Source Code' but I was trapped between Mr & Boy Cinds, but I did announce loudly when it finished 'Well there's 2 hours of my life I'm not getting back'. I hated that film

Insidious was brilliant UNTIL the last 20 minutes.

I'm staggered ... I lasted about 5 minutes, and I made a cup of tea and had a wee in that time

Hmmmm, well, my children are responsible for me watching some rubbish films. Imagine how I felt when they prodded me awake in the middle of Pokemon!!!
Having said that - I really, really love the Pokemon soundtrack ... but I probably shouldn't admit to that!!

Pokemon...or Poke the Mom?
Inception was seriously crap
Inception was seriously crap
So I shouldn't bother with that one either?
Pokemon...or Poke the Mom?
Boom tish
The other one was the first Harry Potter film ... I tried, I really did, but when John Cleese floated out of a table I just thought 'oh sod it' and went to sleep.
Honestly, when I think about it, I don't know what my children got up to in cinemas when they were younger
Have you ever felt so disappointed in a movie that you have told people in Blockbuster not to bother renting it?
I have. (I'm going back a while)
Cloverfield
Jeepers Creepers

I really should be on the stage

You're not alone..
I have it on my iPod.. & I happen to know that Croc has it on hers too
"You need me & I need you... POKE E MOOOOOON.. Gotta catch em all!"

No don't.. you really do feel like someone has robbed you of the 2 hours of your life!
it's yonks old but 'eyes wide shut'..........allegedly an erotic thriller..it's more erotic watching slugs at it.....

Oh dear!
First time i tried to watch it ..... many years ago ....I lasted about 20 minutes. My son has gone back to college AGAIN and is doing it for his Higher and we just bought the DVD to watch together to be supportive... can't wait!
Monsters- a supposed sci fi film that is in reality a yawnfest of a road movie!
Personally I liked Inception, even if it is slightly overated.

that the one with Nicole Kidman in it . the last film that Stanley Kubrick directed (didn't he die part way through production or something)...
yeah... you're right.. that was overhyped & really crap too
I can't say this often enough: - Meet the Spartans
This utter shite
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1073498/
Awful even by the spoof genre's standards
The contributors on IMDB articulate the sheer shiteness of this film far better than I could in this post.
Friedburg and Selzer are the anti-christ of movie directors. Painfully unfunny is lavishing praise on Meet the Spartans. I've not seen "Epic Movie", I've heard it's even worse than Meet the Spartans - which I find impossible to believe.
Slipstream was a straight to DVD vanity project funded by Anthony Hopkins. Tries to be clever and breaks from standard story-telling conventions but is just so dull, disjointed and really really unwatchable crap.

Yes, but I rent all kinds of crap. When it comes to hiring films, I don't have a high quality threshold. If I haven't seen it and Jack Black, Jennifer Aniston or Ben Stiller aren't in it, that's about good enough for me! A recent one was "Lake Mungo", which is relatively highly regarded but it presents the whole film in a cheaply done mock doc style which becomes tedious within a few minutes - but it continued in that style for the rest of the film. I kept waiting for the film to start but it never did! Just one mock interview after another about this supposed haunting. I don't know if the film makers thought this style made it more 'real' to the audience but it's film about a haunting that WE KNOW isn't real, so what was the point?
Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny - execrable!
The Punisher. So bad that we ended up actually watching the whole thing just to see how much worse it could get.
I have a habit of watching awful movies though.....just to see how it all goes
Slumdog Millionaire
The hype that surrounded this made me think it had to be fantastic. It was not the worst film I've seen, but was a huge huge let down.

This is being remade with LEO Dicaprio.... hopefully it will be better...
The one film I can honestly say I *wanted* to walk out of, was Paranormal Activity... the most boring and pointless piece of shit I have ever seen. I only stayed in the hope something would happen.. Dreadful film! Oh and CLOVERFIELD... over hyped piece of RUBBISH! I hated it!
I loved Inception too. I just think that people who said it was shit or didn't get it, didn't concentrate fully or simply didn't understand it... I watched it once, and came out very confused.. so the following week, I went again, and genuinely, it fell into place: the whole film made sense.. I think people need to watch it more than once...
