Saw - The Musical

Actually, I'd say with the exception of Anakin. I never got the hate for his performance. He was the only character I kind of cared about.
All of the actors got handed an awful script, but whereas Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are Oscar-quality actors, Jake Lloyd was 8.
This.
It was ok. I rank a bunch of Marvel movies over it but there was a time when if you didn't put it in your top five you were labeled as racist.

If I set aside book adaptations, I'll go with:

Waited 13 years for Cameron to come up with a plot that was worthy of the special effects.
Instead, we get bad guys vs. Jake & the water cat people bros. For 3 hours.
I actually walked out right as the big battle at the end started. I just didn't care about any of the characters & wanted it to be over.

At the risk of exposing myself as a nerd, I was pretty hyped to see Eragon. I loved the books and the world created (although slightly similar to Middle Earth) by Christopher Paolini.
The movie was so bad and deviated from the books about the quickest and furthest that I've seen from an adaptation. I was mightily disappointed with the movie. I'm hopeful a studio might pick it up for a TV series but with the recent Fantasy flubs of Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, and others I'm doubtful it would ever get made.

Joker. Movie was trash other than the acting. Depressing movie about some whack job with serious mental health issues. Change the name to "Arthur" and remove the make up and the film makes $8 million and regarding as a disappointment.

Book was good, movie before it was good.
Total poo poo.
And then all of the other JP movies after, just stop please!

I do such a good job at forgetting that movie exists, and then along comes a poster to remind me that it does, in fact, exist.Apache said:
The Thin Red Line was disappointing for me. I went in expecting something along the lines of the recently (at that time) released "Saving Private Ryan". I was wrong! Some liked it, it won awards, but I hated it.
That movie was absolute dog crap. It was marketed as a war movie, but really, I believe it was a National Geographic Special made by a guy clearly on dope where an occasional soldier who hop into the frame, maybe something would go boom, then there was a girl on a swing and an alligator. Or something.
Plus it failed at letting the viewer know why we should care about any of these guys. Why were they on this God-forsaken island? Contrast that with Enemy at the Gates (a story about which most Americans would have been unfamiliar) - it opens with a map of Europe and shows the spread of the Third Reich encroaching deep into Russia. Just show us a strategic map of the South Pacific, why taking Guadalcanal was important would have been clear with just a minute of historic exposition at the beginning of the movie. The rest of it, though, was not salvageable with that director.

I watched it and thought, "What's the big deal?" I didn't see the attraction.

Episode 1 of Star Wars. I enjoyed watching 4, 5, and 6 several times, but have not watched anything Star Wars related since that abomination.
Watch Rogue One. It leads into 4. It's fantastic.
It's fine. Star Wars fans are just so starved for anything that isn't complete trash that they've overhyped an aggressively mediocre movie.

I truly love Black Panther. Think it was a great story.The Porkchop Express said:
I never understand people despising Black Panther, I love that movie and it outperformed everything Marvel has put out other than the last 2 Avengers and Now Way Home by a mile.

I'll take a different route here and bring up my first recollection of being disappointed with a movie when I was a child.
Contact.
Granted now as an adult I appreciate it much more….but as a child and expecting to at least see some aliens (remember Independence Day was a huge thing then)….and boy was the child version of me let down with that film
I watched it as an adult and was disappointed to not see an actual Alien too. First half of the movie was brilliant with the technological plotline but the last half with the psycho weird Gary Busey kid terrorist and then after all of the buildup you find out the Alien is Jodie Foster's dad? Come on what a load of manure.
I have said so on this forum before and was called out by practically everyone for not liking it so I guess I'm just not intellectual enough to have enjoyed it.

If you haven't seen Raiders and The Last Crusade you are missing out. Outstanding movies.MoreCushing4thePushing said:BenTheGoodAg said:
Indiana Jones IV. I was so hyped for it. I think I learned to measure my expectations for everything after that.
Oh man. I had never seen any of the other Indiana Jones movies, and my wife (GF at the time) was super hyped for a new Indiana Jones movie. That movie was absolute trash. It's a running joke now how I'll never go back and watch the old ones with her.
I always have recency bias on these kinds of threads because I can never recall the full library of anything I've seen or heard.
So, because the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy never actually happened and is not canon...I'm going with Tenet.
That movies was a confusing mess that I still don't understand.

I liked 1 ok.
2 ruined it for me. I've never actually watched 3 though.
I like 7 even if it's just a remake of 4. 8 is the worst and 9 is bad but JJ Abrams attempts to redeem it and make ir fun.
This just affirms my avoidance.
A good listen for this movie is Tarantino on the Rewatchables podcast. I respect any persons opinion of a movie but I think Tarantino lays out a great reasoning for how good the movie is.
I loved this book. Paul Walker ruined it.
The last three Star Wars movies.
If you're talking about Fury Road.... I'm in total agreement. I started that movie with my young kids in the living room and that didn't last long. I also thought that Dead Pool would be a family friendly movie, lol.Struggle and Strifer said:
Mad Max. One of the only two times that I have walked out of a movie.
I won't be seeing the next one as a result.
The Matrix sequels are a distant second.

I can see someone not liking Ghostbusters if they saw it for the first time as an adult many years after it came out. That's how I feel about The Goonies. Despite being born in 1979, I didn't see it until I was in my 20s. I thought it was dumb.

I saw it in the theatre when it came out and I was 12. Something felt off about it. Not sure what.
Saw it again with another friend. Something felt off.
Saw it again when my son was younger. Something felt off.
I never really liked it.
Liked the song tho and named my cat buster. I
I was going into my senior year of high school when the original Ghostbusters came out. I enjoyed it just fine, laughed at all the funny stuff, etc, but I never considered it a great movie by any stretch. I think I was still enamored with a more scary ghost story, which was not what Ghostbusters was ever intended to be, but it just wasn't what I wanted to see when I sat down in that theater.Bruce Almighty said:

I saw The Goonies when it came out as a high school grad. That one never resonated with me but then again, I wasn't really the target audience.

I can't say I was that disappointed because I prepared myself to be underwhelmed -- but had you told me that Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey would be in The Dark Tower I would have thought it at least would have been competent.
And I've heard a number of people mention Ready Player One... I get not loving the movie, but the book wasn't exactly a master work. It was very much written on a pre-teen/teen level. That's not to say it was bad, but it was nostalgia porn more than a good book IMO.
Yeah. Dark Tower was hot garbage, but then again anything after Wizard and Glass started to fall apart in the novels too. King has an uncanny ability to write terrible endings. The trouble with the movies is they tried to combine aspects from several of the books into a 2 hour movie and it didn't work. McConaughey is a ****ty actor so that didn't help matters.
They legit could do a standalone movie with Wizard and Glass all on its own and it would probably hold up.
But how? How did you think Fury Road and Dead Pool would be family friendly. I can almost understand Dead Pool if you weren't familiar with the character and just assumed it was another Marvel movie, but Fury Road?Shelton98 said:If you're talking about Fury Road....

What?
I can't imagine walking out of Fury Road in a theater.
Whatever you thought of the story/plot/acting... That film was absolutely beautiful.
