When good Movies go bad...

Oh God is that what the point of Premonition was? That film was utterly baffling in the sense that she didn't just have a premonition and then try and stop him it seemed to jump back and forth in any random manner, to random days by the minute.

Nonsense!

'The Village' has that ludicrous twist but doesn't qualify for this list because everything before the twist is dull.
 
The Deep End

After being suckered into buying it as i was assured it was a great movie. The ending left a very bad taste in my mouth. It was so utterly pointless just like the preceeding 90 minutes were.
 
Yeah.



Yeah.


I'd add Deja Vu to the list. It was really good until he realised:

...he could travel back in time, himself and save her.
 
Quite a few of the recent Superhero movies of the past few years fit this category to a tee.

The most recent example being Hancock. Started out as a really interesting concept and Smith and Bateman were both excellent but then as soon as it hit the half way mark it went west.
 
I agree with all the (dreadful) films mentioned so far.

Except...

I, Robot - which was really only ever going to be a CGI-feast-for-the-eyes. With the plot starting out the way it did, there were only so many ways to go. I guess the only way to twist it would have been for Will Smith's character to be confirmed as a true anti-robot racist who had actually set up the big robot conspiracy for his own evil enRAB. :cool:

A.I. - That has the defence that it was started by Kubrick, and completed by Spielberg. I might be wrong, but the start and finish seem like Kubrick's bits and the middle seems like Spielberg's.
 
Yeah, a round of applause to the Cohen brothers for producing a lousy film based on a lousy book. Haven't they heard of the concept of 'adaptation'?

Their new movie will be another five star 'masterpiece' too :rolleyes:. Did anyone see the media frenzy at Cannes recently? (well, I think it was Cannes). OMG, talk about marketing. Pretty much summed up the Cohen brothers films for me, all hype and no substance.
 
Signs, and The Kingdom are two that spring to mind. I was enjoying it on DVD the other night up til the last 10-20mins and it just got ridiculous, it was like:

We're going to get them home, and we're still under time....I know, let's put in a ridiculous plot line like kidnapping one of the lead characters and killing Abu Hamza.
 
I thought that was a good film with a good ending. It did well to come up with a conclusion that made sense and was understated but emotional, rather than trying to top some of the earlier scenes with SFX. I guess to come people it seemed an anti-climax.
Her father was a human and long dead by the film's end. The alien adopted his form to communicate with her, so she would find it reassuring yet authoritative. It's natural form was probably impossible for her to comprehend, and/or would have scared her silly.
 
i was loving jurassic park 3 the whole way
great chase scenes and not taking itself too seriously like JP2 WHICH I HATED.

then that really stupid non-exciting OUT-OF-NOWERE ENDING POPED UP!!!

yea lets just have the raptors get the eggs back off them:rolleyes: then run off!! haha


they really shuda used the spinosaurus
