Films that you regret watching

[Mr Fixit]

The Last House on the Left..... I have never left a movie feeling more depressed. I wasn't expecting a good movie, but that was just fucking horrible.

Napoleon Dynamite... Watched it one time when I was drunk, still wasn't funny. I really wanted to throw the TV out the window.

AvP2..... FUCK NO!

Some dumb movie about a really annoying kid... Fred I think, I don't know....

I couldn't make it through Valhalla.... Almost as bad as Castaway....

Oh yes lets not forget Dragonball Evolution..... Ok I'm not even a fan of Dragonball, so I went into this movie with an open mind(it was the only thing on tv at the time so I thought I'd give it a shot), that movie should be burned along with its makers......

 

[Danzavare]

Buried.

It was boring, it was dumb and I hate Ryan Reynolds.

Why did I see it? It was part of a b'day cinema going (And I didn't know Ryan Reynolds was in it).

 

[DrBonBon]

Tokyo Emmanuelle, saw it on a film festival and I remember screaming angrily at the screen.

 

[CruisingForBiddies]

A serbian film, i can "get" the fact about how it symbolizes the pain suffered from the group of people who've beeen abused, disenfranchised and spat at.

But that movie didn't really make me hark at the cause.

and human catterpillar. Piece of S.

I'm literally laughing at the concept of the human caterpillar... That should be made into a film I swear.

Spykids:
It was years ago when I was still part of the target audience, And I still thought it was a damned awful movie! I think that movie dropped my IQ by ten points!

human centipede:
The concept, which was described to me by my friend, sounded sort of awesome; The image I had in mind was of some grotesque patchwork abomination.... instead I saw a line of people sucking each other's asses.....

 

[tyriless]

Oh man, House of Flying Dagger was so awful. It was melodramatic, filled with bad and gimmicky CGI, it had an unlikeable cast, and it was so dull. However, it's worst crime was making Hero suck in retrospect.

 

[tyriless]

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.
*coughmoviebobcough*

I wasn't crazy about it, at first. But I have grown to enjoy its quirkiness on subsequent viewings. Kieran Culkin rocks as Wallace Wells and the stunt casting alone is spectacular: Brandon Routh as a super-power vegan, Chris Evans the hyper-extreme movie star, and of course, Jason Schwartzman as the perfect hipster douche.

With your expectations lowered, you way want to give it another chance.

D.E.B.S.

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!
Do not even give this movie traffic on google. It is bad; it is just plain bad. The quotes/attitude displayed on the movie cover are completely wrong because none of the characters talk like bimbos and they are not slick spy agents, as the film would have you believe. It is a half-ass, crappy spy comedy about a lesbian romance between two mortal enemies that are ordered to kill each other and instead fall in love with each other. The critics were either completely stoned or bribed out the ass when they watched it and gave it any kind of criticism other that it flat out sucked.

Before you say anything, no, it is not sexually explicit in any way.

This is literally the first movie that I have ever got up and stopped watching it because of how incredibly bad it was (and I watched Couple's Retreat, though I will admit that I dozzed off from time to time on how boring it was!).

The second one was Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

The reason being that Sam does a complete 180 in terms of his character; in the previous film, he wanted the Autobots to leave him alone so that he can live a normal life, so the Autobots did. At the beginning of the film, he realized that he's not hot s*** anymore, so he wants to be a hero and rejoin the Autobots.

Then, the first hour of the movie consists heavily of the government acting shady and people getting killed off by Minicons of the Decepticon variety. Although I had to return it, meanign I didn't finish watching it, I was pretty fed up with the movie at that point. Any movie that you cannot comfortable watch in its entirety, without having to cut out about half of the movie, is not a good movie, period.

 

[Quaade]

Titanic, I felt like someone stole 3 hours of my life and I even watched it on television. It was like watching some horrible accident, repulsed and at the same time unable to look away -_-

 

[moopig66]

Battleship... So bad

 

[TKretts3]

Fear Dot Com.
It was just so gosh darn boring. It was essentially a cheap knock-off of the Ring, except nothing really happened. It was confusing as heck and the film always had this weird look to it that made it hard to watch and tiring.

 

[Pompey71]

A Serbian Film. Ghastly, obscene, unnecessary and an affront to civilized people. Shame on them.

 

[templar1138a]

One film I had absolutely no interest in seeing was "The Hangover." But then while I was visiting my fiancée, her family had gotten it in the mail via Netflix. They decided to watch it, so in order to not be antisocial, I had to sit and watch it with them.

When it was over, everyone else was doubled-over and had perma-grins. I was asked what I thought, and I stated honestly and with a straight (if not stern) face, "That movie was just as terrible as I was expecting it to be and I want those ninety-odd minutes of my life back." If I didn't know my fiancée as well as I did to know she had more than enough redeeming qualities, I would have seriously reconsidered the relationship.

And ever since, I have refused to see any "comedy" movie with Zach Galifianakus. He gives us Jack Black lookalikes a bad name.

 

[Mysterious Username]

A Clockwork Orange.

Oh, I didn't hate it or anything. It's my favorite movie. The thing is, though, it's pretty much the only thing I can think about anymore.

Heh, I remember when I saw that. It really is a great film, but boy does it make it's point in the graphic ways possible.

 

[TKretts3]

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.

You would hate Waiting for Godot.

 

[Nerexor]

The Eragon Movie: This film took a mediocre novel and did everything they could to make it terrible. At least I got to watch it with friends and we had a blast riffing on it.

Transformers 2. Lame plot, annoying characters, Michael Bay?s weird focus on dogs having sex in scenes for no reason, and TRANSFORMER TESTICLES! JUVENILE BULLSHIT!

DOA: Dead or Alive. This only kind of counts because I didn?t watch all of it. This film was so bad that it couldn?t even do fanservice properly. I changed the channel during a scene of them climbing ladders and grunting far too much for that level of exertion (they were clearly trying to make it sound sexy? and failing miserably) because it was just so terribly ridiculous.

Highlander 2: Hey guys, let?s take the entire concept of what Highlander is and MAKE IT ABOUT ALIENS for no reason. (Kind of like what Michael Bay is planning on doing to TMNT) And that?s just the start? IT GETS WORSE FROM THERE!

The Room. This film is the worst. It?s like a college film project gone horribly wrong, only everyone is taking it seriously. The only thing that makes this bearable is to watch it in a theater full of people all making fun of it at the same time. And there is a theater near me that does that (with Tommy Wiseau occasionally there to witness us mocking his failure). They even provide an instruction manual:
http://bank.mayfairtheatre.ca/current-schedule/are-you-prepared-to-enter-the-room/

X-Men 3: It?s the third installment of the awesome X-Men movies at last! This is going to be awe? Awww shit what is this crap?! I have never been so disappointed by a film. I?ve gone in to films suspecting they would be bad, I?ve gone into films thinking they might be decent, but I?ve rarely gone into a film so hopeful and emerged so disappointed.

 

[tyriless]

So mine is a little more complicated, but the movie I regret watching the most is The Godfather.


I think I'd have to say Blade Runner for similar reasons. I watched the 2007 cut, which is apparently a good one and, well... fuck. I have never been so bored. This coming from someone who loves The Assassination of Jesse James, and who quite enjoyed The Tree of Life.

I mean, there are parts that make no sense whatsoever, especially the relationship between Deckard and whatever the woman's name was, although I could have missed any actual build-up due to being entirely uninterested. I think the best description I've seen of it is something along the lines of: 'every scene has 6 pieces of subtext, but no actual text'. In terms of 'layering' it felt extremely uneven.

Should have been my kind of film too: philosophical and a Sci-Fi.

I felt the same way too. I remember watching Blade Runner in my childhood and my teens and absolutely loving it. In it's defense there is a lot to love Rutger Howard, the soundtrack, the atmosphere, and the themes on the meaning humanity.

Unfortunately, the film also drags its feet. It has tons lot of plodding scenes that go nowhere and it is filled with shots that exist way longer than necessary. However, the worst part is the "love story". What Deckard does to Rachel is borderline rape, but it's supposedly ok cause she ain't human. ICK

 

[spacepope]

Yeah, I have to go with Napoleon Dynamite as well. I usually like weird, offbeat, humor, but the jokes fell flat for me, and just found myself bored and uninterested in general.
