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

sparkiling I hated Cats as well was bored out my tree
Most awful film was the Greatest Showman couldn’t wait for it to finish also Mr Turner such a build up and I went with 3 friends and didn’t want to say how I had disliked it and then discovered we d all hated it and could t wait to get out the cinema
I thought The Mousetrap (on stage) was a huge bore too

Another thumbs down for La La Land. After five minutes, I knew it wasn't going to be my thing. Fortunately it was on dvd so could turn it off. A load of overhyped baloney.

Another vote for La la land. So overhyped. Didn’t see the film of Cats - the stage show was enough for me.

I found The Revenant really compelling! I don't like romcoms, just find them rather irritating but very aware that I'm in a minority!

The scene with the horse was amazing albeit not very good for the horse. I must rewatch it.

I was looking forward to Peterloo but was very disappointed.

The same with Atonement. It got fabulous reviews but I thought it was dreadful.

I thought Avatar was boring, and the one Harry Potter film that I've seen seemed to drag on for ever.

On the other hand, someone up thread said they hated Life of Pi and I thought it was a beautiful film.

Mama Mia. Glad I saw it free on video, not paid for at a cinema. Awful... (it didn't have to be high brow films, did it?)

Close Encounters of a Third Kind (such a long long time ago, I know) very boring...

But I must confess to not being a great cinema goer, anyway.

I loved Life of Pi. DH hated it.

I’ve yet to finish watching Peterloo on dvd (keep falling asleep). Glad I didn’t go to the cinema to watch it.

I loved Life of Pi too and didn’t mind Peterloo

Another vote for The Greatest Showman and Mama Mia - I usually like musicals but not those two!

The last Lord of the Rings one ....it went on and on and on. Every time I thought it was over off it went again
Greatest showman also, didnt even like the music.

Last of the Mohicans
Cool Runnings
Maverick

Generally I ignore the critics we never seem to agree on what a good film is...esp M Kermode.

Hardly ever go to the cinema, maybe two or three times this century. Made an exception for Dunkirk. So disappointed, seemed more about the “artyness” than the event.

Loved "Life of Pi"............didn't enjoy "Mama Mia".

Dunkirk, definitely yes.

The only bit of Les Mis I really liked, was Helena Bonham-C and Sacha Baron-Cohen doing that ‘Master of the House’ song - which was IMO brilliant.

The P&P with Keira Knightley, though to be fair I shouldn’t have gone at all since I doubted very much that anything would ever match up to the 90s Beeb version.

To be honest, aren’t most over-hyped films disappointing these days especially those made in the last twenty/twenty five years?

The last film I saw which, in my opinion was well worth all the pre-released hype was Titanic!

La La Land - trash - overrated in my book

I saw Nomadland last week. I love Frances McDormand. I can see why the film won Oscars but it is an unusual movie and although I enjoyed it, I wouldn't be surprised to see it mentioned on this thread.

I liked the ‘Life of Pi’, too. I liked the very first Harry Potter film but the rest of them I thought were boring. Going back, I didn’t like the Da Vinci Code, it got on my nerves with people rushing around all the time.

Moulin Rogue, too much of a lot of things and not enough actual plot.

Eyes Wide Shut. What a load of pap.

Bad Lieutenant. I honestly thought it was a spoof movie, Nicolas Cage was SO bad. His uncle, FF Copola should have done the world a favour and not encouraged his talentless nephew to act.

Oh yes, Moulin Rouge - dreadful film

Mama Mia and Lady in a Van are two.
And going back too many years to think about, Papillon with Steve McQueen - four of us went to the cinema to watch it and all walked out after half an hour.
I cannot remember the last time I watched a film.

I liked both of these, moreso Nomadland. I think what I liked was the non-judgmental, accepting interaction between the people who were living the nomad life. If only everyone was that way. ?

Totally agree. I couldn't believe it when it won Best Picture.
