Most disappointing movie you've ever seen?

[Nilocon165]

Like you couldnt even sleep the night before seeing it because of the anticipation.

What movies didn't live up to the hype for you?

[ROCSteady]

Has to be Terminator 3.

I was so jacked to follow the production and think about what the story was going to be after two life-changing movies


Broke my 15 year old heart :(

[fiddy]

anything that comes out of Hollywood

Who the **** does that?

Anyway... in recent memory, i'll say; Wolf of Wall Street, Dawn of Apes, and Jupiter Ascending

[christian1923]

The new Godzilla.

The new Jurassic Park too, idk why but it didn't do it for me.

[Blue&Orange]

The last movies i remember having any expectations was Nolan movies, so never disappointed. Maybe Prometheus also, didn't disappoint me also.

Saw the Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2, two days ago, what a incredible shitty movie. I was disappointed even while having absolutely zero expectations.

[Akrazotile]

You Got Served.


Was geeked up for months after I saw the trailer in the previews of another film. Had a calendar with the date marked and was literally x-ing away the days til it premiered. Didn't sleep at all basically the full week up until the big night.

Went in with my jump suit and corduroy hat wit the brim tilted to the side, took my seat with all the homies.

Shit ended up only bein like a 4 out of 5, which to me was a colossal let down. Might as well have just been Kazaam. I was soul crushed.

Went home and started drinking, pretty much haven't stopped since :(

[Terahite]

wolf of wall street was pretty bad when it easily could've been great

django was also terrible

[macmac]

Maybe Age of ultron...not that it was bad, just disappointing based on expectations after avengers, cap 2 and guardians.

Maybe hateful 8 too, could have been so much better

[Terahite]

Dumb and Dumberer

Should have seen it coming though.

Was the sequel any good though?

Also the original Dumb and Dumber was no Kingpin in terms of replay value let's be real

You gotta be joking. Wolf of Wall Street was a masterpiece

have you ever done this? if so what the hell is wrong with you?

[Solidape]

Prometheus.......talk about a movie that turned into a crappy movie. The lady running in a straight line and getting squished was like those horror movies where they trip when they are trying to get away....but instead of getting up, they spend the next 30 seconds crawling followed by a 5 second scream.....at that point the chick or dude deserves to get theirs.

[Graviton]

Man of Steel
Star Wars: Force Awakens

[SexSymbol]

avengers 2 easily, shit movie.
tomorrowland is another good example

[kurple]

Argo

Didn't see it until it won all the awards. One of the worst movies I've seen

[step_back]

Death Proof
Man of Steel
Only God Forgives

All 3 films were not only disappointing, they're also 3 of the worst films I've seen.

[aj1987]

Spectre. Surprised no one has said it yet. Ruined by terrible writing.

[Thorpesaurous]

I was at midnight showings of all three of the Star Wars episodes I, II, and III, and was pretty disappointed. I also remember being in early college when Independence day came out, and ordering tickets early and going with a bunch of friends, and it being so crowded we had to split up, and everyone laughing at it when we came out.

[$LakerGold]

Resident Evil movies after the 2nd one, & Avatar: The Last Airbender (the movie, obv).

[kurple]

Spectre. Surprised no one has said it yet. Ruined by terrible writing.
This!

[Zach LaVine]

Avengers 2 was the first movie that came to mind. So soulless and mailed in compared to the first movie. Matrix 2 was pretty disappointing as well.
I would say the first Avengers was more disappointing. By Avengers 2, I knew what to expect: Mindlessness.

Agreed with Matrix 2 for the most part, but I withheld judgment a bit as I hoped 3 would tie up loose ends, which it didn't and to me was more disappointing than part 2.

Jurassic Park 2 and 3 deserve nods.

Essentially sequels that sucked after great part 1s often are let downs.

Sin City 2 was a huge let down for me.

BUT, the grand daddy of all let downs has to be Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

[andgar923]

The Watchmen

Perhaps the most disappointing film that I can think of for now.

[glidedrxlr22]

I was so hyped for:

http://pop-break.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Street_Fighter_Movie_13.jpg

What a let down! :facepalm

[Zach LaVine]

I was so hyped for:

I assume you were an ignorant kid like I was when that came out :lol

Still, 2 good things in that movie:

1. Raul Julia
2. The line from Zangief when a bomb is announced on live TV and he exclaims "Quick, change the channel" thinking it will deactivate the bomb.

[CakeorDeath]

Dark Knight Rises.

After Ledger's awesome performance as the Joker, Bane just seemed completely one-dimensional, lame, and stupid.

I know their hands were tied a bit with Ledger's death, and based on the Joker living through Dark Knight, it would seem the intention for the third film was to involve the Joker at least in some way (and likely heavily) and they had to abruptly change direction, but I feel they still could have and should have done way better than they did. After all the psychological cat and mouse between the Joker and Batman, the straight-forward approach to Bane was really unsatisfying. Plus the "twist" involving the villain could be seen a mile away. And the Selina Kyle storyline was awful, as was the Robin bit. And the total cop-out ending. And Bruce healing from a broken back just by resting and then exercising.

Ugh, f**k TDKR.

[Zach LaVine]

Dark Knight Rises.

After Ledger's awesome performance as the Joker, Bane just seemed completely one-dimensional, lame, and stupid.

Forgot about this one. I agree with the movie, but not the reason that Bane was dumb. Bane's performance is the only thing that makes the movie somewhat watchable. The plot and holes are the reason the movie is dumb.

The Watchmen

Perhaps the most disappointing film that I can think of for now.
I have Watchmen as a top-3 all time comic book movie...along with Guardians and now Deadpool.

It's not as good as the GOAT graphic novel, but I'm not really sure how it could have been better, the movie followed the graphic novel almost scene for scene, it just simply doesn't work as well on screen.

Watchmen still the only comic book flick that isn't the simple formula of good guy(s) defeating bad guy(s) and it is also quite easily the deepest comic book story in a movie of all time.

[DukeDelonte13]

i thought django wasn't awful but it wasn't great. Hateful 8 was downright terrible.

It was just filled with tons of cliches, dragged on forever, wooden acting, writing was weak. But I shouldn't have been surprised considering the director and writers.

It was pretentious plain and simple.

It attempted to be grand and glorious, it attempted to be intellectual and deep, but it wasn't.

Perhaps it came out 10 years too late.

You haven't read the graphic novel have you?

The graphic novel is the 'writing' and it is definitely 'deep' in the grand scheme of comic book plots. It's actually taught in some college classrooms, its full of political statements, and it really broke the mold of what comics are.

There is even a graphic novel INSIDE of the Watchmen graphic novel...


Even though it didn't translate well to movie, the movie is still 100x better than most comic books movies, just for the simple fact that it isn't in the cookie cutter 'good hero defeats villian' mold...also being rated-R helps a ton, Watchmen wasn't made for kids.

That's the thing.

Even tho I didn't read the novel, I heard from tons of sources about the material and how it basically inspired tons of great work. So naturally my expectations were high. But it felt like it was trying to be like the novel and fell short.

After 'TDK' I thought this film would be better, but it was filled with poor dialogue, cheesy acting, and long winded scenes that were just meh.

Zack Snyder = one of the most overrated directors ever

[~primetime~]

I mean I understand how the movie could have disappointed, it's just that it is still a good movie IMO...especially in comparison to other comic book movies.

To me Origins Wolverine is infinitely worse.

Yeah, I have this argument all the time. There's definitely a difference between disappointing and bad. And a lot of times it seems we're more inclined to like something we had no expectations for more than something that maybe is "better" that we were optimistic about. And that goes for all manner or stuff well beyond movies.

[imdaman99]

Battlefield Earth. I didn't read the book but my friend hyped it up to no ends. Still to this day he tells me that it's a top 5 movie and swears that I liked the movie when I saw it, but only changed my views after I saw everyone shit on it :lol I think I was easier to appease when I was a youngin, so I don't doubt that I didn't think it was bad when I was first saw it.

But it was, it is, a very a bad movie :oldlol:

Inception has got to be up there. I'm not a huge Nolan fan, but I did like most of what he did with the Batman franchise and he wrote the screenplay for The Prestige, which was good.

So when I heard all of the talk about Inception being a revolutionary idea with mind-blowing narratives that matched the awesome special effects, I was intrigued.

Then, I watched it...

I'm not sure I can remember a movie that hopped way over the line between "deep" and "confused." Also, it was boring... clocking in at about an hour too long with a plot that essentially went nowhere, I found it utterly hollow.

Ironically, the movie's principle theme was sleep ... just talking about it makes me want to get in a 20-minute power nap.


Crash is another one... Not so much disappointing as just plain terrible.

Was just about to name this and green mile as disappointments.

I loathe when movies that arent disclaimed as fantasy/scifi randomly take that turn. Especially movies that take place in some historic time period, like the old south, or 1800s England. And the film is going along, realistic, intriguing, then suddenly... A teleport machine! :facepalm

So lazy, so stupid, so ridiculous. Youre invested in how a plot is going to be resolved in an ostensibly serious movie, and then it turns out... "well bc magic!"

Save fantasy for fantasy movies. Drama/suspense/thrillers should not be resolved because suddenly someone has super powers. Dumbest shit ever.

you literally have shit taste.
Inception has everything you want, a great plot and idea, awesome performances, awesome score, a lot of great practical effects, and one of the GOAT endings in any movie

I liked it way more than Unbreakable tbh

[SexSymbol]

I provided you a whole article that I agree with. Read at least two.
ok.
1. So it's not possible that a daughter of a man who trained batman knows his identity? c'mon, that's grasping for straws. And the whole first half of a movie was setting up bane as not just a mindless jock, but as a genius tactician.
About him knowing the place of bats secret stuff, coleman reese found about it in the dark knight. And I don't remember correctly but it's probably on some land that Wayne enterprises own, so even if off the book as a hangar or storage room, it still belongs to wayne, so anybody with access to what he has can find it eventually.
2.there's been many instances where people figure out almost on random that bruce is batman in the comics. It's not that hard, and it's actually good writing.
3.Not really a plothole, just a very biased opinion that doesn't sound smart and is not argumentated well.
4.not a plothole at all too, wow so alfred got fed up with him and didn't want to watch him die. This guy's complaining about the location, literally grasping for straws.
5.Because he has a whole city isolated and under a huge threat of a bomb exploading?
6.She's a good looking woman and thalia wants to get into his head.
7.bat symbol inspired people and let them know that bat is still here and willing to fight.
8.the whole beginning shows that he's gotten very lazy and doesn't give a crap about anything even inside his own house.
9.because he's a man of honor and doing it over tv isn't really honorable to his opponent.
10.a lot of rich people have accounts overseas. btw, batman begins showed him travelling the world without money too.
11.it's more of a torture prison than anything, the vast vast majority of who tried to climb it, failed immensely.
12.just a horrible point, not a plot hole in any way yet again.
13.gordon thought they had a jump on them, not knowing how many people were down there it was safer to pull up a bigger army. The CIA guy implies that they have been after bane for a while now, and the second he thinks that he can get some information from them he takes them on. It's not like has multiple mercenaries on his side with guns and years of training, right?
14.the bane-batman sewer fight is widely regarded as one of the very best all time, the punches feel real, and you can almost feel the pain through them. Batman is famous for neutralizing guns of criminals before he goes into hand to hand combat too.
15.the endings in lotr didn't add anything to the movie, the ending in tdkr solved a mystery and at the same time created one. This is one of the best endings ever.

Here you go, now you can enjoy the movie without stupid prejudices and like a normal focking human being

Man The Village is a great movie.

Wonderful themes, great cinematography and a trippy ending. I never saw that coming the first time.

The Village gets crapped on because people thought they were in for a creature feature instead of a psychological social commentary.

I watched it again a few weeks ago and even though I knew what was coming, I couldn't help but admire it as a work of art.

The Village- 8.5/10

To each their own. It was dumb for the exact reason you enjoyed it. And why drag that out for over an hour? I wanted to see a monster flick, and only got to see a fake monster towards the end of the movie.

If I go to a restaurant and order Mexican food and they bring me a burger, I'm gonna be a little POd.

Another terrible movie was Halloween 3.

You gotta be joking. Wolf of Wall Street was a masterpiece
I'm a big Leo fan. and all I heard was how epic it was. When I read the script and the character he was playing, I almost came. It was tailor-made to be the greatest movie ever for me. Came across too corny for my taste though brotha. I liked it alright, but I had it hyped up in my head to be something way better. It was an edgy superficial film, with almost no substance. How was it a masterpiece? :oldlol: No replay value at all.

The Farce Awakens.

Indiana Jones 4.

I remember Revenge of the Sith wasn't as good as I was hoping either.

Most other movies I don't go into with high expectations. Those carried a lot of hype. Farce Awakens and Indy 4 were so bad they pissed me off, Revenge of the Sith was at least enjoyable still, just not quite as good as I'd hoped it would be.

[FKAri]

Inception has got to be up there

I actually liked Inception. However, I didn't have much hype going into it (as many did at the time). Like a typical Nolan film it was flawed but ambitious. And I don't dislike movies that fall into at least that category. That's why I like Nolan even if his reach is beyond his grasp.


Street Fighter, Mario, Tekken, Dragon ball.

The only thing i watched was street fighter and..... I wasted 1 hour plus of my life on it.

I can't imagine what was going through kids' minds who loved the Mario games and knew nothing else about the film going in :lol

I saw a few minutes of Dragonball as I was flipping channels one day. Bad and boring.


The Farce Awakens.

Indiana Jones 4.

I remember Revenge of the Sith wasn't as good as I was hoping either.
