Following on from the great films thread…
What films that you thought would be great, turned out to be terrible?
I’ve got a feeling that this is going to be a far busier thread! |

Troy. How can you fuck up a film with a huge budget, a stellar cast, based on a story that's been popular for 3000 years? That's kind of impressive really. |

That’s very true!
I’d forgotten about that one, with good reason |

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I love Tarantino and everything he does but this was 2 hours of boring dialogue with a decent 20 minutes stuck on the end |

The Many Saints of Newark.
The Sopranos set the mark high so this film had s lot to live up to. But it was utter dung. |

Which film though, LotR is a trilogy not a single film?
Now The Hobbit trilogy, that was pants.
Braveheart, utter tosh.
The Suicide Squad, hugely disappointing and barely better than first attempt.

The Seige of Firebase Gloria, I thought it would be decent seen as it starred the guy who played the drill instructor in Full Metal Jacket. Absolutely terrible film especially if you have any kind of military background. Turned it off halfway as I couldn't take any more. |

Taxi Driver. Don't get me wrong De Nero was great but just as it gets starting good (most of the film is like a build-up), it suddenly ends. Close second was Return of the Jedi. After the first 2 excellent films of the Star Wars universe, this was such a let down. |

Back in the days of video rental on vhs…Eyes Wide Shut. So dull, the only film I’ve ever paid to watch and not finished. The only good thing was that the rewind was quick as we only managed 40 mins or so… |

Depends, I spent most the film laughing so I guess that's not what a horror is supposed to be. They kind of just turned it into a bloody gore fest not the suspense/fear film it usually is! |

The King
We were told it's really good, historically accurate etc.
In reality - utter drivel and about as accurate as Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
(the same can be said of Braveheart and many others, but we expected them to be rubbish) |

We’ll still watch it because it’s Halloween this weekend but it’s been years since they made a really good slasher horror |

I thought it was excellent, and really captured the grand scale of the story... I was disappointed to find out it's a two parter though  Guess I'm waiting another two years for part 2.

Justice League. I watched it again, free from quim lust and not swayed by the riff of a soundtrack and the most beautiful man ever (after Mads Mikkelsen).
The Zack Snyder cut is marginally better but honestly? There was so much potential and it never got beyond a semi.

The house that Jack built, I knew Lars would be trying to be as controversial as he normally is, but one particular scene I just couldn’t stomach.
Funny Games (1997 Original and to be honest remake as well) Fuck You Michael Haneke (Director) if I want telling off over violence in films I’ll read a book about it. Not be criticised whilst watching a below average thriller that constantly thinks it’s being clever and inventive but is just sanctimonious rubbish.

The Matrix sequels. The law of diminishing returns is very clear in these.
I hoped for Matrix level intrigue and brilliance, instead got bad Hugo Weaving CGI and ridiculous plotting.
I’m not hoping for better with the cash in nostalgia driven fourth, clearly we’ve not learnt from Indiana Jones 4! |

I think (and I know I am setting myself up for a fall here) the new movie will be good. Its just not possible for it to be as bad as the second or third.

I liked it the first time round. Although like might not be the best verb.. Second timme round it made me feel really uncomfortable so had to turn it off. One of the few times I've done that.
I thought the Hateful Eight was the best thing he's done since Jackie Brown /Kill Bill 1.

Exactly. Films like Big Lebowski need a second watch because you start enjoying the lines after you get a good understanding of the characters who speak the lines. |

Citizen Kane.
I'd heard so much about it, it's consistently voted #1 film of all time, rave reviews, blah blah blah...but..meh.
I didn't hate it as such and I finished it, but I felt very underwhelmed at the end. Artistically and stylistically, very well done, but overall ? Meh.

"The Matrix sequels. The law of diminishing returns is very clear in these.
I hoped for Matrix level intrigue and brilliance, instead got bad Hugo Weaving CGI and ridiculous plotting.
I’m not hoping for better with the cash in nostalgia driven fourth, clearly we’ve not learnt from Indiana Jones 4!
I think (and I know I am setting myself up for a fall here) the new movie will be good. Its just not possible for it to be as bad as the second or third.

Most Bond films. One dimensional drivel, and they got really lazy in the 70’s and 80’s. From Brosnan onwards at least they took the piss a bit |

With Gibson and cruise, in particular, I thought they were ok at the time, but then reached a tipping point after which I found them completely unwatchable, even going back to films I had enjoyed a few years earlier. Once you get it into your head that one of them is a complete dick, it’s hard to get past that. |

I enjoyed it first time, enjoyed it more the second time. Great cast, great visually, and as is often the case with his films, the soundtrack was one of the real stars of the show. |

Watched this recently and agree, was really disappointed. Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the best MCU films and I was expected something along the same lines, an ensemble cast gelled together. But all we got was a mess, barely better than the first attempt. |

There's a film called Brimstone starring Dakota Fanning and Guy Pearce which, on paper, should be great but it was a couple of hours of pure misery.
Not terribly made just miserable and mean with zero payoff, from start to finish. |

I thought the first time the characters were likeable, they weren’t in the second one. Was way OTT and trying too hard to be funny in places. |
