    I may get a lot of hate for this, and I wouldn’t say it was a huge disappointment because I actually really liked most of the movies but, Star Wars.

    I thought they were great moviees, but when watching them after years of everyone telling me to and all the hype I was kind of disappointed even though I enjoyed watching them all. For me they just didn’t live up to the hype I guess.

      When this came out I went to the ends of the world to get a copy after missing out on all of the references… And then it was fine. I think it’s kinda funny know but I don’t understand how it blew up the way it did

    The first Mad Max movie, just feels like a slog at times to get through and when you finally finish it there’s no resolution it’s just a cliffhanger into the next movie.

    I tried twice to watch The Godfather and fell asleep both times. Nothing about it caught me at all.

    Synecdoche New York. Every one of my friends who’ve seen it think it’s brilliant. I tried watching it and felt like I was losing my mind. I know that’s the point, but that doesn’t make it a good movie!

    Almost all of them when I had read the book first.

    The Hobbit

    The latest (The Hobbit) I got my son to read the book, then watch the movies and he’s like ‘Whaaaaaa???’ because they tried to amplify it into a blockbuster.

    So yes, Great movie - but sucked after reading the book.

      The latest The Hobbit(s) were terrible, the old animated film was actually not bad.

      I had friends who actually preferred the Hobbit to LOTR because of more action (according to them) But then I slowly told them all the shit that they just added for no reason and now they hate me

    I’m afraid to watch the Princess Bride because everyone I know loves it and begs me to watch it and I’m afraid it will be terrible and when they ask me how it was I’ll have to lie

      Speaking as someone who also loves the movie: I won’t hate you of it’s not your jam, but give it a try nonetheless! Worst case you just lost some time, but you at least gave it a shot.

    almost famous! i was so excited to watch it but when i actually saw it, the costumes were the only thing i liked. everything else felt so cliche, predictable and shallow. did not get it at all.

    Donnie Darko.

    Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.

      I always recommend watching the director’s cut. It’s like a totally different movie and gives more context.

          Lol, we don’t talk about the sequel. If you watch his other movies and interviews, it’s clear that Donnie Darko’s director was actually terrible and just managed to accidentally make something amazing.

    A Clockwork Orange. I read the book first and was excited to see the movie but ultimately I found it really slow and boring. It’s not a great adaptation in my opinion.

    No country for old men. I get that it’s supposed to be bleak and not resolve at the end. I still hate that it’s bleak and doesn’t resolve at the end. I didn’t really get the “amazingness” of the coin flip scene either.

    I also thought Blade Runner was ok, but the whole “tears in the rain” monologue is so hyped on the internet that it was a bit meh when it actually happened.

      Yes! I was expecting more, and was left feeling cheated at the end with no resolution. It felt like wasted time.

    Breakfast club. It doesn’t age well. Bender commits sexual assault, and he’s the hero.

    I can’t stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.

      lmao, I just recently realised I’ve seen that movie so many times and have no idea what it’s about.
