Thread: TOTALLY RUBBISH films you've watched recently...

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Red face TOTALLY RUBBISH films you've watched recently...

    I'll kick-off with:

    'Transformers - Age of Extinction'. The critical reviews have ALL been so damningly negative, I just had to watch it. :)

    What a waste of 165 minutes of my life. :( Nothing redeeming about it at all. Cr@p script, cr@p story, loud, confusing, loud, mindless action and did I mention LOUD?!!

    Special effects sci-fi/Superhero blockbusters can be done really well (Avengers Assemble, Xmen First Class, Batman, etc). Michael Bay needs to take some lessons from these.

    Teeth on Netflix.

    What were they thinking? Who actually pitched that idea to backers and got funding for it?

    Horror?
    Comedy?
    Porn?
    New art?

    Who knows but it is very bad.

    Teeth was hilarious! I recently watched John Carter with my kid. Now that was a bad film.

    Godzilla made Transformers look like Citizen Kane.

    The Cabin in the Woods.

    Total garbage. Probably the worst film I've seen in at least ten years. There are very very few films I would give one star or less but this is one of them. Lord knows how it's got a rating of 7 on IMDB.

    To be honest, quite a lot of Netflix content is complete crap!

    On the other hand, I watched "Primer" on Netflix - a short-ish movie about a couple of engineers who invent a time travel device. Really good film but so complicated, I had to have the internet explanation in front of me when I watched it a second time! Recommended.

    The Grey with Liam Neeson, what a pile of utter tripe. I wish I could have those two hours back!

    Was unsure about this film, my eleven year old son watched it when he went to a friends on a sleep over, wife and I sat to watch it and were horrified to know that someone else's parents thought this was suitable for eleven year olds to watch at a sleep over. It was a wake up call about how little control we have what our sone does or sees when he's out of our house.

    cabin in the woods is a great concept and excellent original film.

    I love the idea that it is the origin of all horror films

    I like this one too.

    Watched Noah yesterday....not good at all. Just doesn't hang together well.

    The re-make of Gone in 60 Seconds with Nicholas Cage, has to be one of the worst films ever made.
    A rubbish film with rubbish special effects featuring a rubbish car chase where all the "good" bits were CGI, totally fake.

    And it spawned the transformation of a lot of perfectly good old 1967/8 Ford Mustangs into "Eleanor" clones.
    One day it will cost a lot of money to return these cars back to how they should be.

    Well, it entertained the kids I suppose.
    But the adults spending a fortune modifying their Mustang's should have known better.

    August, Orsage County. Mrs's choice.....even she regretted it. Crap.

    the Councillor......my choice. Crap

    Lone Survivor......not exactly crap but I found it boring and slow. And I just didn't care in the end

    I didn't mind Cabin In The Woods, not great but not awful. Also I'd say that it's fine for kids to watch if they're 11; they'll be banging class A's and out all night in a four or so years..........

    That would be pretty much anything made in he USA then.

    And because of that only "watch" only until the first bit that is soooooo far fetched then off it pops.

    I think if you are a fan of the book then the film was never going to do it justice...it's probably impossible.



    On another note....Jack Reacher.
    A massive disappointment if you are a fan of the books. One of the best examples of money overruling proper casting.

    Doom, was on ITV4 last night.

    Utter S***e.

    World War Z film and World War Z book have very few things in common: zombies and character names to mention a few. What WWZ film lacks is the intelligence, global politics and interesting narrative of the book. If you loved the book, I would imagine you'll dislike the film. I refused to pay for it and watched it once it was on Sky... It was the festering pile of rubbish I feared it would be.

    I Am Legend is a similar story.

    Bermuda Tentacles (Sy-Fy channel)
    Avalanche Sharks (Sy-Fy channel), about sharks that live and swim in the snow, eat skiers obviously.

    Great fun to watch though.

    Read the reviews, so went to watch it to see if it was as bad as they said - it really wasn't the worst thing you'll ever see.

    Maybe, but it is very close to the bottom of the pile, it had one screening at our local cinema with less than 30 of us in there!

    Luckily I have an unlimited membership so could go and see as many films as I like, most of the others left to get their money back in the first 30 minutes!

    The only other film that this happened in was The Tree of Life, not Brad Pitt's finest hour.

    The worst film I've seen for a long time is Faster with the Rock

    Absolute rubbish, he manages to evade many police forces across numerous states of the US whilst driving a black Chevelle, with white stripes across the roof which incidentally one minutes can outrun a new Ferrari whilst in the next scene can't escape a police car.

    Shark in Venice features Stephen Baldwin playing a fat sort of Indiana Jones. Definitely in the so bad it is entertaining mould.

    'Joe Dirt'. It's complete rubbish but one of the best films I've ever watched. Sheer genius.

    Need for speed, you're kind of hoping for some redeeming factor, but it's just a waste of a couple of hours.

    Yes. everything about the films screams "rubbish", but somehow it's really good.







    My submission: The Sweeney with Ray Winstone - a truly terrible film.

    I think Joe Dirt is way better than most Adam Sandler movies. Although, if given the opportunity, I'm sure David Spade would make many more crap movies as well.

    Can't remember if it was the 2nd or 3rd transformer film but I stopped watching it about one third the way through as it just seemed utterly pointless and boring. These films do make huge amounts of money though so what do I know?

    The Purge.
    Absolute B movie, but not bad enough to be good. Total destruction of a neat idea. Bad casting, crappy acting - so much so I wanted them all to die, and totally unconvincing story and twists.

    So much promise , so little delivery. Still, not that bad.

    But very short too...80 mins I think.

    I thought that the first time I watched it. On second viewing, I changed my mind completely. Strangely, I did the same with Jackie Brown. I guess with both I was expecting the impact that Pulp Fiction had. Can't believe that Pulp is now 20yrs old.

    Your not alone, i remember watching at the cinema and being completely underwhelmed, in some way it just mustn't have met my expectation of what it was going to be. Having seen it twice since then I swear it gets better each time - it's the only film for me which has ever done so.
