Films that you regret watching

[Corven]

Tideland, I should have left when the director of the film came out before it started and pleaded with the audience to give the movie a chance.

Horrible, horrible piece of pretentious indie film garbage.

Hmm....probably Scott Pilgrim vs The World. While I wouldn't necessarily call it "bad" I was severely let down after the massive hyping it got.

Maybe i have bad taste but i enjoyed The Village.

Some people I know really enjoyed it but I spent the vast majority of the film yelling at my TV for something to happen ... anything to happen, anything at all.

Then u wouldn't like the movie Gerry. The whole movie is just two dudes literally walking for 1:40mins in the desert

I don't mind movies like that if they are at least talking about existential stuff, or something interesting, but if they are just shooting the shit, then no thanks.

They are not even talking also, they are just walking

Good lord, what's the point?

They are lost and trying to find their way back, also Michael bay is ruining childhoods and now he's making a new live action TMNT with them being aliens instead of mutants is sad

Oh i know! BUT, one of the guys who originally created the turtle signed off on the new origin. The ooze is technically supposed to be alien in nature.

Isn't Bay only the producer there instead of being a director

Ya but his people are writing the script and i think he's a "adviser" on it.

He is the producer but he makes all the important creative choices of the film and see production of everything

Chernobyl Diaries

I went with a friend (who worked there, so free tickets) and I still felt ripped off.

After it, we just spent the whole ride home saying how bad it is.

If you want to know more in detail why it's so bad, ask away.

 

[EyeReaper]

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 don't think there is any movie that I regret watching, everything is worth a shot atleast.. I do however deeply regret that I re-watched Watership Down because of some thread here on the Escapist.. It broke me down in ways I never thought imaginable..
I really like the movie but, damn, it scarred me as a child and I stand by that it made me cry when I watched it again this winter.

There seems to be an underclass of terrible film no one has mentioned; Date Movie, Meet the Spartans etc. Just painfully bad.

Those just might make my list alongside Napoleon Dynamite.. but I'd never subject myself to actually watching them.

Trolls 2. My friend got it on Bluray because hey, its apparently the best worst movie ever. I mean, it made me laugh at some parts (they're eating her! and then they're going to eat me!), but 95% of it was brain-drain. It was awwwwfuuuuuulllll. Whoever makes these stupid "cult classics" needs to just stop. I'm all for indie films, and I can understand that cult classics are hard to judge before you release them, but seriously.....just....stop. The human mind can only take so much punishment. All these crappy sci-fi monster battle movies with terrible acting and cgi, and all these gross and fucked up horror/slasher/porn movies for the sake of pleasing a few mentally disturbed fucks, and all these boring pretentious boring and long and boring artsy films about some depressed guy.

By the power of all humanity I beg you to stop.

A DOUBLE DECKER BOLONGA SANDWHICH!!!!!!!!!! Thats a great movie XD

Blood Rayne - it was so hilariously bad that it was almost enjoyable.
The Expendables - Such a waste of money. It is basically one big action hero circle jerk with all of the violence of big action movies, without any of the entertaining plot or funny quirks that other action movies have. I LOVE Arnie movies, but the plots are actually semi-interesting, and his one-liners are amazing. Expendables doesn't have anything like that, it is just garbage.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - So. Fucking. Bad.

And I'll include Bridge to Terabithia because that movie made me so fucking sad... Its really good, but I don't suggest anyone watch it because of how sad it made me.

I actually liked The Expendables. I went in expecting a big dumb throwback to 80's action movies, and that's exactly what I got.

 

[Da Orky Man]

The Wild Blue Yonder.
It contais quotes such as "And they dived into the liquid helium', the film showing them wearing bog-standard diving suits, and 'The astronauts transformed themselves into pure light'.

 

[orangeban]

Your Highness, terrible movie, 2 hour long dick and rape joke. Hilarious.

 

[chiggerwood]

Ken Park. Do I really need to say anything about that movie, it made me wanna die. Ken Park is the movie that I measure all my repulsion by.

 

[Jaeke]

Napoleon Dynamite.

God, was it unfunny. Those hours of my life were wasted. I want to sue.

Yeah me too.... But I would sue you! as that is the greatest film concieved by mankind!!

OT: Far and Away

Oh dear... just such horrible accents, and an even WORSE ending...

Clive Owen's King Arthur, I typically love medieval battles in movie, even if I hate the rest I can enjoy a good war scene, but by all that is holy... it has some of the most unbelievable and cheesy action scenes. It's not even the scenes' cheesiness that is bad, its the seriousness that it tries to bring.

Oh and ESPECIALLY Act of Valor. I knew the acting would be bad but I didn't hold it against them because I knew the actors were real soldiers, but really... it just became inexcusable after a while. And the fact that EVERY SINGLE DAMN ACTION SCENE had at LEAST 5 or so slow-motion events that were just stupid.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Eraserhead.

I am traumatized for life now.

I liked the miniature chickens

 

[Ragsnstitches]

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

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