What was your biggest movie let-down/disappointment ever?
-
Imo worse than just them being bad is the gap between their quality and the potential of what could have been.
Absolutely and factor who made them.

I'm not going to argue about a movie neither one of us has seen in over 20 years.
Have fun.
You're under no obligation to continue the discussion, sure, but it seems disingenuous to me to open a thread saying "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a bad movie because it fails to follow it's own internal logic". Then, upon having that assertion challenged, you jump to, "I'm not gonna argue about this." Like, why comment at all if you're not interested in discussing, and yes, maybe even defending, your take? Regardless, if that's not what you're here to do, have a good day.

There's a direct download for the m4 version on the internet archive.

Fury Road 2: They got rid of a lot of the practical effects that made the first one great. The plot and pacing was off. I was just annoyed because of how much I liked the first one.

The Avatar the last air bender ( live action ) movie. I was a child when the movie came out so I had no clue who the director was and how shitty of a movie I was in for. The ending recked me since it didn’t even have a satisfying conclusion. Just pure garbage
I was in genuine shock of how bad of a movie I’d gotten into. Never again
Honestly same, left it early and was genuinely sad because we almost never had a movie we wanted to go out for

Transformers. I was very excited when this was announced, but it became a cold-water shower when Michael Bay was mentioned as director. Still, I had a sliver of hope that it would be at least on par with The Rock... It wasn't.

If you actually thought I was under no obligation, you wouldn't have sent your note, which I consider a masterpiece of passive aggressiveness.
I throw it back at you. You had all afternoon to actually watch the movie and present extensive notes.
Like, why did you comment at all?

Kinda weird to mention a movie that doesn't even exist.
-
I kinda liked it, not great by any means, maybe 3/5. But i liked the book way better
the book and the movie have absolutely nothing in common besides the name. it was such a disapointing mediocre zombie film, based on a really good book that used "zombies" to explore war, survival, refuge crisis...

True. Although to his defense my understanding is that Peter Jackson came in late as a replacement and at least partially did it because otherswise many people would have been out of a job (presumably people in new Zealand that he knew well). Watching the behind the scenes extras imo show a quite stark contrast compared to the LotR trilogy.

Kangaroo Jack. Most misleading trailer ever.

My biggest problem with
thisthe sequels is that Luke's character just got completely butchered.You really want me to believe that one of my childhood heros, who against all odds, against his mentors judgement, decided to go all in on the "There's good in my father, I'll save him or die."-train would grow old and wants to kill his own fucking nephew because he's seeing something evil in him?
That was last Jedi though, was it not?
I never watched rise of Skywalker, the Luke story ended with him vanishing into the force at the end of last Jedi if I recall correctly. -
Arrival and Interstellar. Half baked cop out time travel shit
Arrival is leagues above interstellar in that regard imo.

Suicide squad (
20182016) was a disaster and a tremendous letdown.Though that was clear by the time it actually hit cinemas, so more of a continuous descent from its first announcement to its actual release
-
I never understood this. What's wrong with it?
Dull dialogue. Wooden acting. Jar Jar Binks. What a disappointment.
-
World War Z.
i was do hyped. and it single handedly ended the zombie movie genre that was popular at the time
Should have stuck to the book. Doing vignettes about how the invasion affected people would have been far more interesting.
-
There are always exceptions. Andromeda Strain was an excellent book.
The original Andromeda Strain is an excellent movie.

the sad part is that few people will read the book because the movie was so bad.

*2016
WB hired the people who put together the trailer to edit the movie. The results were...not good.
