Avatar: The Last Airbender. My group of friends and I agreed that that night contained a blank screen for those two long, tortuous hours....
Boring Movie: The Movie

Boring? Try Pearl Harbor. The movie fails on two counts: It fails to make the set up of the attack interesting and it fails to make the world hit by the attack interesting. The setup just sort of happens after a few lines of dialogue between Japanese and the pre-attack world is nothing more than a deeply cliched love triangle.
Now, this movie had the potential to be good. It could've been about the engineers and airman who studied and planned to make the attack happen, about making wooden torpedoes and midget subs, studying previous torpedo attacks, and practicing over and over again to make sure everything worked right. It'd be a great procedural with a bang at the end. We'd get to understand the hows and whys of the attack.
On the other hand, we could've seen the conflict between whites and Japanese on Hawaii and how the oncoming war and attack affected the dynamics there. One thing Titanic did well was focus so hard on the class tensions that we forgot that the whole system was going into the drink. And when the inevitable happens, it's horrifying.
If nothing else, they could've shaved this movie down to ninety minutes and spared us the endless padding.

Trust me, you missed nothing good.Daystar Clarion said:
The beginning was the "best" part of the movie. That's right, it got worse.
V for Vendetta. It had a couple cool action scenes, yeah, but that was padded out between 2 hours or so of pointlessness. Yet everyone I know loves it to bits, so I end up watching it all the fucking time.
She's the Man. That one where Amanda Bynes pretends to be a guy so she can play soccer. So terrible, yet every girl I know loves it, so again I sit through it many a time.
Bend it like Beckham. Terrible movie, everyone I know hates it, yet I've still somehow managed to see it 3 times :s.

Is that even possible? How did you even get past the intro? You must be some sort of saint, sent by the movie gods to endure horrible movies for our sins.Ironic Pirate said:
Paranormal Activity. I was ready to close my eyes if anything happened (because movies tend to scare me pretty easily and everybody was talking about how scary it was), but nothing ever did happen. It was not extremely bad, it just got boring.
I have tried watching other Bond films whenever they happen to be shown on TV, but I tend to get bored of them around 10 minutes in and quit. Quantum of solace was the only one I paid money to see at the cinema.bahumat42 said:unfortunate for you because thats the least bondish (and IMHO worst bond film ever made)drbarno said:
try golden eye, good old exploding fun
then you can say you dont like bond
Sad because there's alot of movies that I'd like to throw in, Really one that came to mind though was Cloverfield. What was scary didn't affect me (and I'm a wimp for horror). The monster itself was the slightest impressive thing for me, and even then did a few things that mad me stare at the screen and laugh like "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt?" Which was the way the monster multiplied the second time. The other was when it jumped for the helicopter.
I will *not* watch Barnyard, with my sister, or anything that lives...I don't do cows talking in 'male' voices >.>, it's too f-ing confusing.

Sunshine. Not only was it THE. WORST. FILM. I. HAVE. EVER. SEEN. it was also dreadfully stupid and almost blasphemously boring (yes, you heard me: it was SO boring that it offended Jesus and incurred the Wrath of the Israelite God YHWH). Halfway through the sitting I jumped on the computer and started reading aloud the many scathing reviews of this film that are easily at hand on the internet. My family watched the film to the end, but we've never seen it since, because everyone disliked it and I HATED IT.
MY GOD I HATE IT SO MUCH. SUCH A CRAPPY FILM. GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Also, Avatar. Found it dull after watching it the second time, because all the "oooh, shiny" graphics lost their novelty

"Legion" and "Dance Flick"
I still feel that watching those movies to the end were two of the biggest mistakes of my life.
Also "The Expendables"
I felt so bad that I paid money to see that piece of crap that I went and saw Scott Pilgrim two more times to make up for my mistake.

Ninja Assassin. No that's not quite true, it was fun to laugh at.
Well, then Death Race or Gamer. Maybe both. My best friend has an obsession with pointlessly violent movies, and though he's a year older than me, it kinda makes me think of him as childish. Still he continually rents these things and we end up sitting through them.
Oh, and clash of the titans. Might have actually been interesting if a single character had been developed at all.
