I hated, hated, HATED this movie!

[slowontheuptake]

I have seen the documentery on "Seabiscut" and have never seen a true story more perfect for moviemaking in my entire life. If any horses are shot, they won't be Seabiscut.

Of couse if they blow making a movie that fate wrote so perfectly for them...well I wouldn't be suprised at all. Then I'll be back here to bitch.



My mother is right there with you on the animal abuse Gatito Grande and I tend to agree. She watched "25th Hour" w/ Edward Norton a few weeks ago and was extreemly upset at the animal abuse (dog). I just thought I would warn you off it.

[urnofosiris]

Oh grrrrrrrr, they are showing Star Wars the Phantom Menace on Dutch TV now, and I just know I could have liked this movie if not for Jar Jar. He is the single most annoying character I have ever had the mispleasure of watching on screen. Not even Padme/queen Amidala can make up for the nerve shattering annoyance that is Jar Jar, his stupidity and disgustingness are unparalled in this or any other galaxy.

Excuse me, I had to get that out of my system.

I'm one of those people who's incredibly openminded when it comes to movies and tv- I like just about everything (including some stuff that other people said- Titanic, Simply Irresistable, and The Sixth Sense, for starters). But there were three movies in my life that I have been able to walk away from saying, "There is nothing in that movie that would make me watch it again, because I just didn't care for it all that much".



1) Mars Attacks!- OK, so I might watch that one again, but only because I was too young to know who Natalie Portman and Jack Black were when I first saw it. I was insanely bored throughout this movie, plus I thought it was stupid.



2)Glory Daze- almost every review I read of this gave it a good review. I was surprised, especially since I got so curious that a little ways into the movie, I rewound back and started over, only this time making a tally mark every time somebody said a swear word. Total number: 101 times. There are tons of movies that have lots of swear words, but I have never found any other movie so unentertaining that I felt the need to occupy myself by going back and counting them (and coming up with such a steep number!)



And the third one was "Blade", because it was gory and I thought it could be so much better.



But I love practically all movies (and TV, too, except for that horrible "Fear Factor"



Well, I've cast my vote!

Dito on the crappyness of MarsAttacks! Saena, that was one of the worse films ever to be created, and i've seen alot of sh*t movies before. can't believe how many cameo's were on that movie though.....

I didn't really like that movie by britney spears- whatsitcalled.....i donno.

i thought that i would bump this up with a movie i went to see tonight.



Cabin Fever



i can now officially say that i've seen a movie that almost made me i even had to turn my head a couple of times. normally i'm a more blood the better person, but this movie is just disgusting.





Cindy

[urnofosiris]

You made me curious and I found some reviews, you're not the only one who was not impressed (to say the least). I have one to add, I went to see the Secretary tonight because my friend wanted to see it. There went two hours of my life I will never get back. I am probably missing some very clever message, but -aside from being bored senseless- the message I got told me that if you are a fucking obnoxious asshole and you treat a woman like crap and/or property, she will be very happy and marry you.

Mission to Mars



God, the amount of american patriotic corn that was in that frelling piece of dren could have filled up a few dozen countries! It was so bad that I just had to accept the pain and walk away 30 mins into the film. I can't believe Tim Robbins would be in such an awful thing like this that should never had been allowed to see the light of day.



And also, whoever said mulholland drive was a bad movie...



I'm just going to say it was probably because you didn't understand it and try not to freak out at you.

[WebWarlock]

Well Waterworld was TV the other day.



You know what, I didn't hate it, but it was still an over wrought piece of garbage. My wife summed it up best. Kevin Costner was playing the exact same character he plays in every movie he is in. No difference between him in this or in "The Bodygard" or in any number of westerns he has been in.



My son wanted to see Disney's Atlantis, so we watched it. Man it is mine boggingly dull. The only thing that kept my attention was it's complete lack of anything resembling logic. Granted, it's a cartoon, but at least a little internal logic would be nice.

Heh, I happened to catch Waterworld the other day too. That one annoys me more than anything simply because they took an honest to goodness interesting idea and made it into that piece of crap. Such a waste. And, yeah, Kevin Costner, oy.



I saw most of Atlantis when they aired it on the Disney channel. I remember being struck by the violence in it. And that the violence was directed toward people. It just seemed to differ from the kind of thing I've come to expect from them. Heh, I didn't pay much attention to the logic, I sat through most of it thinking, "Ooh, that voice sounds familiar! And that one, too!"



I think The Postman is an even more horrible movie of Kevin Costner's. Your wife is right, all he does is play the same character over and over again. He never gets any better at it.

[chilled monkey]

The worst film I've ever seen (so far) was called "Hell Asylum". It had no story, no point, it was a complete and total waste. And to pour salt in, one of the characters was named Amber!



Another one that I really hated was "Dagon". It had a fairly interesting concept, but the story was pretty confusing and the 'twist' at the end made no sense at all.



I also hate any movie that features ridiculous use of wire-work. I don't mind it in the Matrix films as they use it very sensibly, but films like 'Crouching Tiger' are just stupid.



RiffRaff: I was going to see "Cabin Fever" (I like Cerina Vincent), but now I'm having second thoughts.

[WebWarlock]

Thank the gods someone else hated "Crouching Tiger"!



Sure the special effects were cool and the martial arts great. Plus I would watch Michelle Yeoh or Chow Yun-Fat in just about anything. Just not this.



I watched the whole thing only watch Fat's character die and the other female lead (Ziyi Zhang) kill herself. WTF? Ok I understand tragedy (I have four freaking degrees ok, I *get* it) but come on. In the end I was just left feeling pissed off.

[peebrain]

I hate Crouching Tiger with all my passion... Medicore plot (and I've read the origincal classic before -- it's compelling), shoddy acting and implausible stunts...



What's with the woo & ahs anyway? It's not even a good Kung-fu movie by asian standards, so why the Oscar nod? sheesh....



And the no 1. reason I feel like murdering whoever's responsible for this wannabe artsy craps is because as a result of the media attention it recieved, TV stations in Taiwan and China reproduced Crouching tiger as a long-running TV series that we suffer on our tellys nightly...



brrrrr

[RiffRaff]

Chilled Monkey,

There are a couple of people that I work with that loved Cabin Fever. They said that it was really scary, but I don't see how a flesh eating virus is scary but maybe that's just me. If I had known that it wasn't what I thought it was going to be, I would have waited until it came out on dvd and rented it. At least then I could have turned it off

[Boudecia Jones]

I absolutely loathed the endless westerns my father sat through on rainy sunday afternoons when I was a child, deeply depressing. In no particular order, my five most hated movies are.....

1. Indecent Proposal misogynist Crap

2. Basic Instinct ditto

3. Chasing Amy do I need to explain!

4. Speed 2 love Sandra Bullock hated the movie

5. Waterworld total dross



Basically anything featuring Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas or Robert Redford

[urnofosiris]

If you add Gigli and Ben Affleck to that list, I am totally with you Boudecia, not that I have seen Gigli, the previews were enough to put it on my hate list.

I haven't even seen a preview but I heard the synopsis and when any film includes the concept of a lesbian 'straightened out' by Ben Affleck I figured it wouldn't do anything good for the Kittens blood pressure...

Willow: ...I have to tell you....

Tara: No, I understand you have to be with the person you l-love

Willow: I am

[chilled monkey]

DrG: Uh Gigli You know I quite liked "Daredevil", but watching it doesn't feel the same now.



RiffRaff: I think I'll probably wait for "Cabin Fever" to come out on rental (if I do watch it. As I said, I like Cerina Vincent and I'm glad her film career seems to be going well, but from what I've heard, it doesn't sound like the kind of movie I'd like). Thanks for the warning.



WebWarlock, Peebrain: The thing I disliked about 'Crouching Tiger' is that it seemed too unreal. In "The Matrix", when someone does a super-jump, it looks like that; a JUMP. It's not like they can fly like Superman!

Basically I don't like movies that try to make a human character seem like a superhuman. I prefer more 'down-to-earth' fight scenes.

[WebWarlock]

CM,



I know what you are saying. I had less problems with that (I love Wuxia movies) that just the pointless storyline. Big message: Everyone dies someday. BFD. I can watch that on the news. If I want watch people waste their lives, I watch "Clerks" again. Or call my cousins.



Course I am making this sound like this is my most hated movie ever, it's not. That distinction still goes to Saturday Night Fever. But this one was a big disappointment, especially after all the hype.



Other notables.



Showgirls and it’s evil twin Striptease, though these are just too dumb to hate. At least Showgirls features the very fine Gina Gershon.



Showdown in Little Tokyo.

Ok this steaming pile of dren features a Japanese speaking martial arts expert and LA Cop Dolph Lundgren (so he can kick, cut AND shoot people) teaming up with whiter-than-me Brandon Lee (yes, Bruce Lee’s son) as guy who knows nothing about Asian cultures, but still can roundhouse with the best of them to go up against a Yakuza mobster. Throw in Tia Carrere (so she can be raped and attempt suicide) and you have a movie. (btw this is one of my BIGGEST peeves. Cast any actor of Asian descent and call them Japanese, Korean, Chinese, whitey won’t know the difference. I KNOW the difference ok.)

Actually what you have is this piece of crap. I have scraped better ideas off my shoes.

Ziyi Zhang kills herself in Crouching Tiger? Um, I don't remember that being in the film, unless you're referring to when she flies away. I did like the movie, because I love myths and martial arts hcoreography. But if you didn't like it and would like to see the gorgeous Ziyi Zhang in a non martial arts film, please rent The Road Home. It is just the most beautiful love story I have ever seen. No fighting. No wires.



I too hated Mars Attack. Hell, they managed to make the few humorous moments from the previews unfunny when put into context. The only amusing part? "They just made the international sign of the doughnut." Hell, even that wasn't very funny.



I've never seen Waterworld (aka Fishtar) and have no desire to do so, but I am glad the movie was made. Because otherwise Dana Carvey couldn't have made fun of it in his stand up routine. "Folks he pees into a filter-like contraption and then drinks it. Yummy-yum. You can not pee into a Mr. Coffee and get Taster's Choice!"



Episode 1 of Star Wars was blasphemy. I refuse to watch anything but the original trilogy in its original format. Why couldn't George Lucas let a good thing be? And Jar-Jar? I could not watch the movie without making strangling motions every time he came onscreen.



I can say in all honesty that Delta Delta Die is a terrible straight to video movie. Only watched it cuz my friend was in it, though she was pretty decent herself. Rip It Off was pretty horrible, despite getting to drool over a bad ass Alyson Hannigan. Same deal with My Stepmother Is An Alien, although then it was more about going "Aw, look how cute little Aly was" because I'd feel a little weird drooling over a 13 year old. All Over Me was just pointless. I kept waiting for an actual plot. No disrespect meant to Wilson Cruz, cuz I love the guy to death, but it was just a bad movie. Felt the same way about Fire. Just pointless. Oh and one of my least favorite movies ever is City of Angels. Not only will it forever confuse people when I talk about the brilliant, unrelated musical of the same title, but the moive ended about twenty different times. I started to get up to leave when I realized it was still going. And going. And going. And talk about predictable. A two year old could figure out the synopsis of the movie from the first two seconds.

[Gatito Grande]

I just watched the fourth and final movie I taped this weekend, off of Free Starz, The Royal Tennenbaums: man, that's two hours I'll never see again!



GG Not even *3 seconds* of Gwyneth Paltrow kissing a naked chick in Paris could redeem the boredom Out

[lustitana]

I like this thread. I'm a sucker for bad horror movies. Give me cheese, give me camp, give me gore and I'm a happy lady.



However, Cabin Fever, oh, my god. Someone was smoking alot of crack when they made that. The attempts at humour were lame, especially the racist old man, the gore, with the exception of one scene was only so-so, and any attempts at supsense looked like they were pulled from someones a$$ and had nothing to do with the plot. Oh, wait, there was no plot.



Otherwise, I hated, hated, hated that lame Ya Ya Sisterhood movie. I was ready to walk out within the first 40 seconds. My friend had to forcibly hold me in my seat for the entire movie.

Edited by: Warduke at: 10/2/03 1:06 pm

Basically I view any movie which I walk out on as the worst, since I've paid for two hours or so of entertainment and been cheated. Top of that list are 'Showtime' with Robert DeNiro and Eddie Murphy, and that spy movie with Rowan Atkinson, 'Johnny English'. I didn't make it through 30 mins with the first and only about twenty(counting credits) for the latter.

Has anyone seen "My boss' daughter" starring Tara Reid and some really badly acting pretty boy? I keep seeing clips from it on TV here as it is going to premiere in the cinema in a few days. I just want to check whether it is fair of me to hate this movie based on the clips I have seen.



A mouse crawls up the pretty boy's half dropped pants just as the pretty girl walks in and he says "I have something in my pants". Isn't that hilarious? I just want to make sure I won't hurt myself laughing should I accidently see more of this movie.
