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

Beauty & the Beast - too much singing and dancing for me.

The French Despatch. Load of baloney !! Left before the end.

The Kenneth Branagh version of Murder on the Orient Express .
I hated it at the cinema and it defeated me on TV .

I think the Downton film was the most disappointing recently: lovely to see the characters again but the plot was so slight as to be utterly ridiculous, which made all of the characters' reactions to it just seem like clichés.

Did you watch Shirley Valentine last night? Not seen it for so long, but it was, as usual, an absolute delight.

Hoping to go and see West Side Story next week.

Hated:
The Greatest Showman (although I really like Hugh Jackman)
Little Women (Greta Gerwig version)
Lost in Translation
Lincoln
Lord of the Rings series, all those blooming battles!
Mulholland Drive - what was THAT all about?
Muriel's Wedding
Billy Elliott
The remake of Psycho - so awful it was funny

I loved La La Land! The Greatest Showman another winner for me.

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!

It’s now on tv so trying to watch it again but think I’m going to give up….

I liked the old Titanic film,I think it was called ‘A night to Remember’ . The modern version was cheesy. I didn’t hate it but it wasn’t a patch on the older one.

The Time Traveler’s Wife. The book is so much better.

Porgie and Bess ( a long time ago).

Dances With Wolves
Waterworld
and any rom com

And I never got the Blair witch project either....

The remakes of the “Poseidon adventure” and “The omen”not a patch on the originals..

I think shows that work well when done live on stage are often a disappointment when filmed.

Two examples would be War Horse and Cats.

I agree books tend to make disappointing films because of the loss of detail, although there are exceptions like Rebecca.

Quantum of Solace was my most disappointing Bond film - I found it soooo boring.

I wondered if anyone else would mention The Blair Witch Project. What an utter let down.

I hated Dirty Dancing. Stupid storyline, not well acted. A real let down. I worked with a woman who extolled the virtues on a weekly basis, so when I saw the DVD for £3 in Asda, I thought I'd give it a go. She excitedly asked me what I thought, the following day. I don't think she spoke to me again, until she left, as I'd said I thought it was dire

My daughter dragged me to see The Blair Witch Project . I wanted to ask for my money back on the way out !

La la land and mama Mia the second one very disappointing

Went and saw the last bond film spectre came away feeling very disappointed. Very slow and there was no charisma between daniel craig and the lead actress she looked like a sour puss for most of the film. Want to see the new bond film but not sure because shes in the new film.

COULDN'T STAND TITANIC AND PEARL HARBOUR WAS THE SAME.

Another sleep inducing film, Lost in Translation. A middle aged almost somnambulant Bill Murray apparently imagining he has some kind of relationship with a woman twenty years his junior (Scarlett Johannsen, I think). Unlikely or what?

Chestnut, the beach scenes in Atonement were filmed on my beach and we were allowed to watch, it was an amazing set.

Well they also added a lot of CGI afterwards, I'm sure. Haven't seen it for ages but I remember thinking how unreal it looked.

La la land was boring, shape of water awful!

I’ll never forget the when the beach first appeared. That was a memorable cinema moment for me.
