I Demand My Money Back!! The Worst Films You've Ever Had To Sit Through

I wasn't deep enough to get it either, but I still thought it was a beautiful film.



I thought Hot Fuzz was better than Shawn of the Dead, but was still crap. I hate Simon Pegg's fat, useless mate, who accompanies him on half his projects. He is the most annoying, talentless fat turd I've ever seen - he spoils everything I see.

Black Hawk Down was loud, brash, macho explosions and, "huh-huh, hoo-rah!" bollocks with a Moby soundtrack. We're supposed to feel sorry for these aggressors, even though they started it.



I don't like his music either, and it seems out of place to have R&B in an old-style adventure film, but was the film really THAT bad? There must be some redeeming features, Shirley...



When will you learn? Don't give these bastarRAB money! They're only going to use your hard-earned to fund Bratz 2, or the next toy-related, childish pile of shite. Just don't pay any money to watch it, even for a joke, and they'll make no money, and making dire crap like that will not be an option for them next time, because they'll have no cash!
 
The Mexican

It could have ended three times and yet they still managed to pad out a crap story... glad I got a comfy seat at the cinema as managed to take a nap!
 
After the first 15 minutes I was wondering "What on Earth is all this rubbish about" but I was assuming "It'll probably start the actual story soon" so I waited a bit more.

After 20 minutes I thought "I'll wait for another 10 minutes, and if it doesn't improve I'll go."

After 30 minutes I thought "I'll wait another 5 minutes, and then decide."

After 35 minutes I was on the verge of walking out (I had actually half-risen from my seat) but there was a funny bit at that point, so I waited another 2 or 3 minutes to see what was happening.

After 40 minutes I realised that I was more than half-way through, so I decided to stay just in case anything interesting happened.

The actual "story" (not that there was much of one) got going a bit more in the second half. I think that if I had walked out half way through I would have felt frustrated and worried that I might have missed some good bits in the second half.

The film was rubbish, and I wish I hadn't wasted the time and money, but somehow I feel that it was better to have seen the whole thing rather than watching only half and then walking out.
 
My friend was given a DVD of this horror film One Missed Call - we hadn't heard of it but figured it'd be worth watching. We lasted about 10-15 minutes - not at all scary, so predictable, we were laughing at each "scary" bit that happened because they were so predictable, cliched and bizarre.
 
I don't think anyone has mentioned Pearl Harbour.That was diabolical.
Why do we time after time fall for all the hype.Film studios spend millions and millions going round the world telling us how great their latest blockbuster is.
 
Home Alone (1) I just couldn't see anything funny there

Atonement- Keira Knightly reminRAB me of that kid on the new comedy show who grins/grits his teeth and says "is it? is it really". The exploration of nuances of truth and lies and perception that made the book imo were totally ignored too. James Mc Evoy was the best thing in it imo.

Godfather 3- no explanation needed there;)

Blair Witch Project- wasn't a bit scared, not even once and all that hand held stuff made me feel seasick
 
V for Vendetta... Could not stand it.

The only film that has actually made me walk out of the cinema though was Revolver.

Will not watch either again even if you paid me.
 
Velvet Goldmine - My then partner and I both wanted to walk out, but each thought the other was enjoying it.

Run Fat boy Run - Just awful. My o/h and managed to stay for most of it, but had to leave because .. well.. actually I'l just post her blog entry about it:

There is a hilarious moment where Simon Pegg hilariously has to look at another man's winkie. There is an even more hilarious moment where hilarious circumstances conspire (not very well) to make him look like he is hilariously frotting a mannequin. There is an absolutely SIDE-SPLITTING moment where Dylan Moran (possibly the only saving grace in the film, and someone I now fancy substantially more than SP) has to pop a hilariously big blister and gets ****ing hilarious ****ing ick all over his ****ing face. Then, to top it off, there is a ****ing poor sex joke.

I left just after the gob-smackingly original moment where SP Gets His Shit Together to run the race and oh noes! he is all hurt in slow motion with close-ups of his stupid, curmudgeonly face, and The Woman realises that she is all concerned about him rather than her (supposedly) attractive, rich and well-motivated boyfriend.

I was sick in a bin on the way out.​

Urgh.
 
two that come to mind are :

"Eraserhead" - 'cult' film - I think it was 3 or 4 hours of pseudo-Bunuel b&w sci-fi. I kept expecting something to click and it just didn't.

"Titanic" - two Ok moments - leading lady getting her baps out and Len Crappi drowning. completely over-hyped/ruined by American stereotypes and an unsympathetic lead in LDC.
 
Shallow Hal was the worst i went to see at the pics. I also really hated the first Lord of the rings. I was bored and the movie went on forever. I should have just walked out.
 
Not only that. I'm surprised that you saw the trailer, then made your mind up that you should watch it. :eek:

What scene from the trailer convinced you it would be a decent film? :confused:

I honestly thought that the only people who would watch the trailer and want to watch the whole film would be chavs and tossers with too much cash. I'm just surprised that someone with your obvious non-chavesque behaviour wanted to see that load of carp, having seen the god-awful trailer.
 
My worst 3 of ALL time have to be
Magnolia,now there is 3 hrs of my life wasted!
The Night Listener &
One Hour Photo ...stick to the comedy Robin Williams!!
 
Jarhead... really not a fan of war films. Not only was i forced to watch it at the cinema by the other half but I then had to watch it at the inlaws when it was on tv!!
 
Given your view I think you missed the entire point of the film. Yes, the Americans were portrayed as being typically arrogant, gunho etc... and yet got their collective arses kicked by the Aidid malitia and had to rely on the UN peacekeepers to get rescued. The point of the film was that despite the military 'successes' in the 80's & early 90's (Greneda, Panama, Kuwait) the US had not learned the lessons of Vietnam and were unable to fight a well armed geurilla opposition.

The US did not 'start it' in fact. They deployed to Somalia together with UN peacekeepers as part of Operation Restore Hope with the goal of averting a humanitarian disaster brought on by years of civil war and famine. As a result of the public humiliation and media coverage of US soldiers being lynch-mobbed Clinton thought twice about sending troops to Rwanda a year later, the result being the genocide of millions.

I personally think BHD is the best modern war film by far.
