Any films you have been to see that you were disappointed with?

I'm sure that there are literally 1000's of films that 'someone' will consider awful but there will equally be 'someone' who loves each and every one of them.

There are loads of alleged 'greats' that I've refused to watch and people look at me as though I'm weird when I say I've not seen one of them. The list includes but is not limited to, all star wars and rocky films, lala land, et, mama mia etc etc

Definitely La La Land and also The Greatest Showman

Dunkirk agree with that. La la land and anything musical like mumma Mia and Hamilton. Love Billy Elliott though

I usually find that if I have read a book, which is subsequently made into a film, the book wins hands down, which is so frustrating and annoying!!

In the last 20 years only been to the cinema three times with my little grandson so liked all of them, seen some awful things on TV luckily I can switch off/walk out without feeling out of poacket. La La Land being prime example

Oh I love La La Land - seen it many times! But in general I don’t watch many films as I find so many just really don’t live up to the hype. Think the greatest disappointment was The Greatest Showman. I really didn’t want to see it and was persuaded to go but did absolutely nothing for me. Whereas I would go to live theatre every day.. have so far seen Hamilton three times ?

Most new versions of the classics. David Copperfield, Emma, Rebecca, Far from the Madding Crowd etc.

Absolutely agree Grannygravy.

dolphin daisy. So agree about Sound of Music! Why is it still on every Christmas?!
Another vote for Close Encounters.... Still remember being bored senseless!
Saw the trailer for La la Land and knew I'd hate it. Same with The Greatest Showman, although DD and DGD raved about it!

I confess to recording the Star Wars movies so I can fast forward through all the boring fights. I'll probably end up doing the same with The Hobbit films and those of Lord of the Rings. I've always skipped the battles when reading the Rings trilogy too!

There are hardly any films at all, on release today, that I feel like 'taking a chance on watching'.

I'm at an age in life, where 'a couple of hours of boredom' are wasted hours that I'll never get back again.

I think it's probably around 10-12 years since the subject of a film made me think 'ooooh I like the sound of that!'. That was 'The Way Back' starring Peter Weir and Colin Farrell - based on the book 'The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz' which I'd read, and enjoyed, in the mid 70s.

I quite enjoyed the film, but there was so much that was missing from the original book .

There will be Blood. Nearly nodded off.
I knew The Greatest Showman and LaLa Land wouldn’t be my thing as I can’t stand musicals. All that shouting that they call singing!
The Shape of Water, all that green murk, and I paid to see it at the cinema.
So many arty foreign films that I’ve been dragged to by my film mad friend, yawn.

La La Land; Dunkirk - didn't get past the first 10.minutes; I fell asleep in the recent one about Churchill; Mama Mia was cringeworthy

True,*Speclalk*. I struggle to think of any film I've watched to the end on any long-haul flight! In fact, it has always been quite a good way to get some sleep.

Tried watching Lost in Translation, got bored after first half hour. Also didn't get through La La Land or the Mama Mia films. BUT the one I really can't stand (wait for it) is The Sound of Music - so much sugar there should be a health warning.

Annodomini I find I can never sustain concentration for a film when on a plane- it’s so frustrating!

I thought LaLaLand was the most pointless film I have ever seen. There was nothing about it that made me think, "Oh, this bit is good."
I avoided Dirty Dancing and Flashdance for years...and rightly so.
It is very rare for an overhyped film to be as good as the critics think and quite often, those that are trashed by them turn out to me great films.

@HemelBelle. I have the Barbra Streisand/Kris Kristofferson version of A Star is Born on DVD. Way better than the latest miserable offering.

Dunkirk, LaLa Land and 1917. How LaLa Land achieved all those rave reviews I’ll never know. TBH I don’t think I’m qualified to include this in my list because I turned it off halfway through - couldn’t follow it. However, I have to say one of the best films I’ve seen lately is Nomadland. Was a bit slow to start but I ended up really enjoying it.

The revenant was dire - about 1.5hours could have been cut with no great loss to the plot at all

I loved La La Land and The Greatest Showman but hated "Moonlight". I don't understand why it won an Oscar.

Another vote here for La La Land which I saw at the cinema; however when I was giving an account of the plot to a friend, it didn't seem so bad after all. Maybe it was the music that just didn't do it for me. However, the most disappointed and let down I have felt at the cinema was A Star is Born. I hadn't seen previous versions so had nothing to compare it to; but I don't think I have seen a more miserable film.

Got it on dvd. Gave up after half an hour. Don’t have any inclination to watch all of it!

There were several Star Wars films after the initial first three (which were wonderful) that made me want to get up and leave. Every time they had another battle I just wanted everybody to die so I could go home.

I've just remembered The Way We Were which could have done with at least 30 minutes lopping off. I was fidgeting in my seat and willing it to end. There were a few scenes when I thought it was going to finish, but no, still more. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than watch it again.
