Films that you really looked forward too but were total let downs.

[DTS]

Yesterday after a spot of lunch with my mate "The Pilot" and our respective Mrs, Mrs DtS and I decided that we would get a DVD to rid ourselves of the bordem that is Sunday afternoon TV.

I have been desperate to see Zodiac - A film a bout the San Francisco area Zodiac Killer dating back to the late 70's.

Sadly there was no copies in stock but knowing how much I wanted to see this film Mrs DtS made the spotty teenage assitant look through the returns bin. Much to my joy it was there and we decided this was the film for us.

We settled down on the sofa with a packet of nuts and some spicy french sausage for the blockbuster ahead.

What followed was 3 hours of the most pointless TV I have ever seen. There is basically no real gore, limited plot and no end to the story despite the fact its based on a true story. Needless to say I was gutted.

Anyone else seen this shocker? Have you been badly let down by a film?

I don't think anything can top " The Blair Witch Project" for a complete let down and waste of space.

Up and Cummers vol 3 was worse than 1 and 2

 

[Pubey]

bummer... ive heard that it's really good.

i was quite disappointed with transformers... it was stuck between a kids film, a teen comedy and an uber-geek comic film and it just didn't work whatsoever. the fighting was quality but the acting, script and lack of gore (it was a 12) just meant it was childish and lame but not even a kids film because of the stupid teen jokes in it

Yeah spot on actually - I was really looking forward to that one but it turned out to be jank.

Would it not be easier to list the Hollywood films that actually lived up to their hype?

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

The Flying Scotsman, maybe I had too high expectations for the film but a lot of it bore no resemblance to the real true-life story!

:p

Very much so....
Most 'big' films get hyped up by the studios so much that they'd never be able to live up to the excitement generated even if they were the greatest film of all time!

Animal Farm - really enjoyed the book but the film was just full of sex with animals.

Titanic.

You could see the ending coming a mile off.

Always one to laugh at my sister-in-law, she got up at the end of Romeo & Juliet, in tears, and proclaimed rather loudly across the emptying auditorium; "Nooooooooo, it just can't end like that!!!"

Muppet!!!

Star Wars 1-3... I know I've banged on about it a hundred times but they are absolute poo.

Pirates Of The Carribean. The list of the sh1te that Hollywood churns out is endless.

the pirates films are mindless entertainment and very enjoyable in my book.

agreed with the star wars films kinda, they aren't great but i think the original ones were just average. the only reason people love them is that they grew up with them and they were the best hollywood could produce at the time.

blair witch project for me was the worse let down. even tho i ain't a horror fan i actually fell asleep in the cinema!

 

[Napster]

Aliens 3 & 4
Terminator 3
The Godfather 3

Sequels not as good as original shocker!

:thump:

 

[MK Shrimper]

Ah, not always true Mr. Napster.

Godfather 2 was vastly better than the original. Aliens was superior to Alien. Superman 2 better than 1..... Spiderman 2 better than 1.
