Films that you regret watching

[Hawk of Battle]

The Road. (Fell asleep)
The Happening. (Only saw part of it, it was shite)
Knowing. (Interesting premise at the start, then became crap)
AvP2. (The worst film ever)

Right at Your Door.

There was massive hype about a twist ending ("You'll never see it coming!" they said...) and I love me a twist ending. So I watched the film and it got to the end and I was like "Where was the twist?". So I went online to try and find out what the twist was, turns out the hype was correct, I didn't see it coming because the twist so shit and tacked on it was completely missable. I hate this film and one of the things I regret most in life is purchasing this film.

Boondock Saints 2. The very definition of trying too hard.

...also Starship Troopers: Marauder, or whatever the hell it's called.

 

[deidara]

All Transformers and Paranormal Activity movies. I can't believe I have seen all 3 from both franchises. I really need to put my foot down when I get movie invites in the future. I guess I'm just optimistic they will stop sucking.

 

[WindKnight]

Freddy Got Fingered.

I was part of a princes trust program as I was struggling to find work, and one of our initial 'team building' exercises saw us given the money to rent one video, and discuss between ourselves something to rent and watch. One of the younger participants completely missed the point, and just took the money and rental card and picked Freddy Got Fingered without giving anyone else the chance to contribute or suggest anything. And then everybody had to watch the entire movie. While I generally try to respect people opinions and tastes, and moderate my opinions and be polite (at least when it comes to games, movies, books, comics etc) I will flat out say I f***ing loathe the entire god-damn movie, and the person who picked it was not very popular with the rest of the group.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Franklyn. One of the most retarded films I?ve ever seen. I didn?t get the plot and it had some interesting ideas (the whole "there's a religion for everything" shtick), but they were all poorly executed.

Alvin & The Chipmunks 2. It was my best friend?s birthday, so I pretty much had to go, but I still don?t know why on Earth he picked that annoying film to watch. And the voices...DEAR GOD THE VOICES!!!

Breakfast on Pluto. The only reason I bothered staying up past midnight on a school night to watch it was for the novelty of seeing Cillian Murphy playing a transvestite. But, like with Franklyn, I just didn?t get the plot, nor was I entertained. So, because of that, I woke up in the morning groggier than usual, with nothing worth talking about to my friends at school.

The Hunger Games. Blandest plot and cast of characters ever, with piss-poor camera work to boot and an annoying love subplot that they shoved in there that was supposed to make us root for the main characters, but instead made me wish that they?d either get killed by those sadistic douches or just commit suicide, like they almost did (which would?ve been a much better twist than the bullshit that happened in the end).

Battle: Los Angeles. Complete waste of fucking time. Awful and generic plot, lifeless and unrelatable characters?I?m running out of things to say because it was just so fucking boring and everyone already knows how bad it is.

Lesbian Vampire Killers. After a while, the novelty of seeing sexy lesbian vampires lick each others? necks starts to get old. Oh, and it wasn?t even funny. And James Corden is a prick.

 

[Bloodtrozorx]

The Road. I expected a sort of awesome Fallout-y, Book of Eli-y film with action and dead raiders. What I got was a depressing film about a douchebag who does nothing but moan and contemplate suicide.

Worst film ever.

Did you read the book? Because the book is a depressing story about a father who hides from slavers and cannibals before dying and his son is adopted by another wanderer and his family.

OT: The only movie I regret watching so far is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I was the only one out of 5 that didn't fall asleep.

EDIT: Oh and The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Please be funny again Eddie Murphy...please?

 

[A_Play_On_Words]

Dungeons and Dragons, a film I went to see with several other friends of mine, as we were currently playing D&D. There's a couple hours of my life I'll never get back.
Runners up:
Prince of Persia
The Expendables
Aliens vs Predator (I saw it for free and still felt I was overcharged.)
Spider-Man 3
Transformers (Some people liked it. I wasn't them.)
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

 

[Relish in Chaos]

I honestly don't get why so many people dislike Spider-Man 3. I thought it was the best of the trilogy *puts flame shield up*. Granted, I haven't seen the former two in a while, but my point is: Spider-Man 3 was a good film, IMO.

 

[ninjaRiv]

2001: A Space Odyssey. Such a FUCKING boring film that radiates smugness and shit. I wish I had actually punched myself in the eyes for a couple of hours, instead.

 

[ninjaRiv]

In fact, I've become very wary of films people say are "incredible" and "a cult hit." I've been let down too many times.

 

[surg3n]

Chain Reaction. I'm glad I decided to get drunk before watching that, it's a travesty of a movie and a cancerous cyst on the careers of Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman.

But, worse than any movie anyone has mentioned yet...

Battleship.

That is a giant turd of a movie. That movie makes me want to punch a war hero. It's basically America putting an arm around China, and telling some crusty war heros that they aren't Japan. Fuck Battleship, it's a waste of the electricity it would take to download it... It isn't worth the plaque you'd scrape from your teeth while watching it... It's only saving grace is Rihanna, trying so bloody hard to be like Vasquez from Aliens, it's kinda sweet that she thinks we see her as anything other than a piece of fluff.

 

[Amondren]

For me, it was the Hunger Games. the main flaw of which was the godawful camera-work. When I went with a group of friends to see it in theaters, one of my buddies actually got motion sickness and vomited half-way in.

I just about never get motion sickness and this movie was basically horrible because I was forced to sit closer to the screen and the shoddy camera work made me have to look away several times.

 

[Legion]

All of the spoof films after Scary Movie. This includes 'Meet the Spartans' and so on. Most of them I didn't bother with more than 15 minutes of.

Oh, and whatever current movie all the reviews are saying is fantastic, I like to be edgy.

The Golden Compass. Completely butchered a truly incredible book. I know it's common enough for movies not to live up to the source material, but quite how they managed to make Northern Lights (which is the only correct title because I say so) so unremarkable I do not know >.<

Never read the books but it seemed like it had a lot of promise, but I didn't enjoy it much at all. I think most people agreed as they don't seem to have bothered with a sequel despite it being the beginning of a series.

 

[KingHodor]

Kids (1995) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113540/.

I just didn't need to see that film, especially with my fickle mental health.

Depends - if you watch it as a stoner comedy (and you don't even need to be stoned for that, the dialogue just speaks for itself), it is just freaking hysterical.

And don't tell me the movie was ever intended as a serious drama - I haven't met anyone capable of empathizing with our protagonists Telly and Caaaspah, and by extension with anyone dumb enough to have sex with and get AIDS from them.

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

BloodRayne: Before seeing it, I wouldn't have believed it possible to make a bad film out of that game.

American Beauty: Dull, and full of depressingly annoying characters.

The Piano Teacher: Wangsty and pretentious.

Anything by Michael Bey: need I even explain.

 

[KingHodor]

American Beauty: Dull, and full of depressingly annoying characters.

Seconded. I don't think there is a character I loathe as much as Ricky Fitts.

"Waaaah, I'm a really good-looking guy who sells the best dope and can convince girls I've got the soul of a sensitive artist - I must be the biggest social outcast of the whole school"

 

[Legomaniac91_v1legacy]

The movie I regret watching the most was "The Last Airbender." I was a huge fan of the show and I was expecting the movie to carry the same quality. Instead I was treated to horrible CGI, bad acting, cliched dialogue, and a complete betrayal of everything the show did right. I got in for free, but I will never get back that hour and a half of my life.
