Films You Just Can't Get Into

The Illusionist - I love Edward Norton, but the wife and I have tried repeatedly to get into this film, thus far unsuccessfully.

Maybe The Prestige was so good, that we expected more of the same, I guess.
 
The Prestige. Fantastic cast and I thought I'd enjoy it but I was bored rigid! I want to try and watch it again because I know people who adore it but it just failed to clique with me for some reason.
 
Any 'blockbuster' action, fantasy or thriller since mainstream cinema was plagued with the twin cancers of CGI and MTV-style editing.
 
Oh yeah! Looks like U and me the only people in the Uk who cant though!! :rolleyes:

I remember saying to people "Its funny they didnt do "Waterloo", and they said "You missed the finale!:eek:"

... I was halfway home by the time the finale began!!:p:p
 
I wouldnt say they are awful but I cant get into them either - have watched the first and second and feel I should watch the third but cant bring myself to watch it.
I've also struggled to watch The Shawshank Redemption. Seen the start but cant get into it! Help! :eek::o
 
Two fantastic films with amazing main cast and support -

The Prestige has the twists, but that just makes it clever. It is clever, and atmospheric but The Illusionist is by far more elegantly told with charm and mystery....
 
i'll say speed racer, since i watched it earlier on and realised after about an hour i had no clue what was going on and who was doing what to who and why.
 
It's a cult movie but I just didn't get what all the fuss was about and that's Withnail & I. I just watched it the whole way through so I could say I saw it. Not because I enjoyed it.
 
Any of the Harry Potter films. I know it's fiction, but it's too far fetched. Just not my thing. I don't like the books either.
 
Totally. It was absolute balls from start to finish. Why anyone likes that film is beyond me.



I watched the first Harry Potter film, because the trailer for Fellowship of the Ring was on before it. I found it to be so awful that I haven't watched anyone of the sequels.
