Guest Jamma14 Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 (edited) Ok, for me: Texas Chainsaw Massacre - just plain crap The Phantom of the Opera - ultimate boredom Latest 2 Star Wars - disappointing, new one looks better tho...mayb The 2nd and 3rd Matrix films - so many holes in the stories, didn't live up to the original 28 Days Later - seriously what were they thinking? The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - not so extraordinary Edited May 15, 2005 by Jamma14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest beersoft Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 "House of Wax" with Vincent Price ? Classic Britsh horror, shirley ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no, the nasty remake with paris 'slutwhore' hilton in and i thought of a few more video nasties, the saint, it was terible any film with steve guttenburg in (including 3 men and police acadamy) and not forgetting lawnmower man 2, the first one was bad, but this took the biscuit and crumbled it in your bed later Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaser81 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Road Trip - Really, really really bad. I'm crying a little now just thinking about it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Really? I kinda liked it.... :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morpheus2702 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Just goes to show you that one man's meat is another man's poison. But how can you have anything against Slutwhores? Mmmmm, slutwhores.... (Homer moment) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Road Trip was good in my opinion and so were a few others on the list. Often it seems to be the movies where people expected more but they didn't deliver that get really hated. But there are some dire movies out there I remember seeing a movie (can't remember the title) where they decided to form a team of crack commandos from Las Vegas showgirls... it was dire... it'd alternate between a scene of all the girls in the hot tub "debriefing" and then running around in camo gear being totally unconvincing... even though that might sound half good, trust me it wasn't. I'm a big fan of movies that are so bad/cheesy that they are good. Think anything produced by Jerry Bruckheimer ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maxh2003 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 No-one complaining about The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, then? I thought this was the single most dismal thing I've seen in years and years. The pace is appalling, the dialogue has been screwed about with for no apparent reason, and the acting is truly desperate. Martin Freeman is wayyyy too blokey and not nearly confused and bewildered enough. The Arthur-Trillian love affair is spurious and trite. Marvin looks great but sounds... like Alan Rickman. There are only a few good moments in the whole train-wreck, and they only serve to show just how good the thing could have been if they'd got it right. I can only agree with PlanetMagrathea.com : This is a terrible, terrible film and it makes me want to weep. The new radio series are vastly better, even the bits they've tweaked to make it more up-to-date - latest episode downloadable from here...

Marvin should look more like a classic robot though, I don't think he was meant to have a huge circular head, a big brain sure but it wasn't literally meaning he has a massive head :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 the guide wasn't 'that' bad yep arthur was a bit not wet enough, zaphond had the wrong type of second head and trillian wasn't blonde but comparing it to say the remake of get carter it was bloody brilliant /me makes a quick list of classic britflicks that the americans have ruined^Wremade later Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spanglimungus Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Just remembered some other piss poor offerings: Showgirls Boomerang - eddie murphy should be severely punish for crimes against the romantic comedy genre, not funny, not romantic Can't believe you defended road trip!

Guest Pondrew Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Can't remember the name of it, but some fairly recent British horror about some dopey tart stuck on the Underground and getting chased by a Deliverance-type inbred looney... Made it about half way through, and then I figured I was happier to throw the £4 in the gutter than to sit through to the end <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm with chucky, the underground film whose name neither of us can remember was pretty poor. Another film to avoid is Cabin Fever (DO NOT WATCH THIS - if you want an excellent horror/thriller check out 28 Days Later). Rewatched Jackie Brown recently and really enjoyed it. Much more then when I saw it in the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
