Yeah, Ghost in the Shell is very short. I mean, just when you think its getting started, its heading into the climax. Not that I have an issue with that. At least it doesnt outstay its welcome...Vault101 said:

The Godfather Part III, the first two were brilliant and are my favorite movies every, but III just ruined it with a very particular scene that doesn't fit into the story line at all.
^This. While I liked the look and feel of the world in Bladerunner, I couldn't get into any of the characters, and the plot was just sort of...I dunno. I just didn't like the movie.Vault101 said:
There's only one Sin City out now, the sequel doesn't come out until October 2013.Timberwolf0924 said:
I really can't think of any. Most of the films that people have listed I either liked or just haven't seen. I guess if I had to push some buttons, Dead or Alive. Technically it's the most perfect adaptation of a video game to screen to date: plotless game about bimbos and a ninja fighting translated to a plotless movie about bimbos and a ninja fighting. But that doesn't excuse that it's total crap.
What scene is that? its been a long while since I've seen 3 so my memory is very nonexistent.Judgement101 said:
Wow, didn't know so many other people didn't like 2001. I think the movie had enormous potential but almost everything about it failed miserably for me. The atmosphere was captivating but the 'plot' (Dave vs HAL), while intriguing, was barely present. The spaceship-ballet that took up half the movie got boring very quickly. The backstory of the movie was so incredibly vague that I had to look up what it ment and I have no idea how anyone could extrapolate Kubricks intentions from what was shown in the movie.
Because Al Pacino.

Micheal and some of his group are in a hotel or something and a police helicopter flies up and starts shooting up the rooms.
For me it's Titanic and Avatar, first off Titanic, yes let's take an event were hundreds of people died and turn it into a god awful love story
Next Avatar, it was too hyped up, saw it and it wasn't really that good a film, it's pretty much Dances with Wolves in space

Forrest Gump. Love Tom Hanks, despised that movie
You do know that it's considered one of the worst sequels of all time, right?Judgement101 said:
I agree. Not that The Godfather was a bad movie, by any means. But it was so long and drawn out...I felt, personally, that they could have cut out the entire section of the movie with Michael going to Italy out without losing anything.elvis-66 said:
And while some argue that it was essential for him to have a character shift from wanting nothing to do with the Mafia to understanding its part in his life, I ask this. Why did he need to go to Italy, get married, and have his wife die in a car bomb for that to happen? Why couldn't he have just been in New York when his brother got machine gunned to a pile of Swiss cheese, and have that be the motivation for his character shift?
Oh boy! Pulp Fiction: Bloated, Schizophrenic, Pretentious. I just absolutely hated it. I don't really understand what so many people see in it. (No, I'm not saying it's bad for someone to like Pulp Fiction, I just don't understand the appeal of it.)
I would have to go with Harry Potter. Cannot understand the love for that. My experience only, but alot of the people who liked Harry Potter in my area were, if you believe the stereotypes, the same people who made fun of nerds and shoved people into lockers for playing D&D and the like.
For me it is the Harry Potter movies.
The books are all kinds of awesome, not because JKR is a great writer or anything, but because she created an immersive and captivating world in those books with memorable and sympathetic characters. Well except for Ginny who she turned into a one dimensional Mary Sue that everyone was supposed to love and think was the next coming of Lily (incest anyone?) when really she devolved into a bullying toerag who needed a slap in book 6.
Ahem, sorry back on topic.
The movies themselves... Just aren't great.
Daniel Radcliff, and Emma Watson just can not act. Neither can Tom Felton, or the guy that plays Neville, or the girl that plays Ginny. Rupert Grint was the only one who seemed to have actually learned anything or gained any acting ability.
Actually Daniel was an alright actor when he is just conversing, but the moment he is asked to Emote in any realistic way he just fails at it. He can not express emotion realistically and convincingly and just comes off fake.
Even the adult actors in these movies deliver spotty perfomances. And we KNOW that the people who play Snape, Wormtail, Bellatrix, McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Mr n Mrs Weasley are all great actors and actresses. Which of course points to exceedingly poor direction and editing throughout the movies.
They also made the mistake of starting to make the movies too soon after the books began coming out, I think they had almost caught up with the books by the time they were filming movie 5.
This resulted in them cutting things from the earlier books that seemed innocuous and unimportant in order to fit the books in, that later developed into fairly important if not critical plot points in later books; which meant by the time they hit book 7 they had to split it into 2 parts so they could go over a lot of the stuff we should have learned in movies 4, 5, and 6 that they had cut out.
The movies were all critically acclaimed, and IMO they were all schizophrenic messes that you could just tell had been cut to ribbons in the editing room. Prison of Azkaban being the worst of the movies for that.
The weren't the "worst" movies I have ever seen; but they were definately the biggest disappointment for me. They really only "got it right" in the very last movie, Deathly Hallows part two, which is a real shame.
