"Good" Movies That You Hated
« on: October 10, 2005, 02:10:12 PM »
Anyone have any movies that were supposed to be very good, but you didn't find to be all that good? Mine are Pulp Fiction, THX 1138, and Rear Window.

Anyone else see the newer version of 'the Hulk', the Ang Lee one? I thought it was absolute rubbish. Those splitting screens and OTT special effects - ugh.  :P

The simple answer to that is it is cr*p ;D (Matrix 2 was pants as well ;))IMO if you are going to make a film about an ancient epic........ TRY reading the book, Mr,Director.

I never much cared for Pulp Fiction, either. The same goes for the Matrix sequels, the Big Lebowski, and Trainspotting.
As far as out and out classics go, I have to admit that I don't like Gone With the Wind at all. I've never been able to sit through the entire movie!

On its own, Troy wasn't that bad. It's only when you actually compare it to the various stories and plays written about it over the centuries that it becomes less of a film.

I know Petersen was going for a modern feel LOL, why else would he have rejected Gabriel Yared's score, for which Yared did tons of historical research to get the sound right? The movie would have been much better had Yared's score been the one used in the film. And happy to say most film score fans agree! (112 voters on www.filmtracks.com alone give it the Score fo the Year, and most score fans I know agree that it was brilliant)

Anyway... to answer the topic's question.

I couldn't get into O Brother, Where Art Thou, despite it being based on The Odyssey. I know that film was a huge success.

I fell asleep during Lawrence of Arabia, which is a shame because I loved the music to it. I also had to turn off Doctor Zhivago in the middle of the second part and save the rest for another day (a few months later when I was bored enough LOL).

Hmm what else...

Oh, this I will despise till the day I die! LOL Phantom of the Opera, the Lloyd Weber film version! I know it wasn't the Phantom's job to have the voice of an angel, but for God's sake, Butler can't sing! Now, I enjoy Michael Crawford, HOWEVER, if I were to cast this movie's Phantom I would have gone for Antonio Banderas. Or Michael Ball. I always preferred Ball to Crawford. Heck, even Colm Wilkinson would have been a great choice.

I thought all the Matrix films were awful. Call me stupid and unimaginative, but I just couldn't get into them at all.  :P

Oh, and I didn't like the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Give me nice, twinkling Gene Wilder instead of creepy Johnny Depp any day. And typical of Tim Burton, I  just thought the whole film was very ham and over the top.

I absolutely detested the 1998 version of "Les Miserables" with Geoffery Rush.  The film was completely inacruate, and just an insult to the novel.

The original Chalie and the Chocolate Factory is one of my favorite movies. I can't really think of any movies that were supposed to be good but weren't. But, Gili is the worst movie ever made in my opinion. I'd rather bleed to death than watch that movie again. I LOVE School of Rock. I know all the lines!  ;D When I was little I was in love with The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan.  I still know all the lines to that movie!  ;D

The Parent Trap with Lindsey was much funnier than the original one. But I like both.

I haven't seen the new Charlie/Chocolate Factory yet. I want to though, even though I've never read the book and know that this is supposed to be a closer adaptation than the original.

I know Elfman's score is highly acclaimed for that, as well as Corpse Bride, which I simply adore.

I LOVE Phantom of the Opera, the newer one. I think that Gerard Butler is a good singer, but the other actors were so good it made everyone look down on him. And can you believe the girl who played Christine was 16 when filming began? Beautiful voice!

I could not see what the fuss about Blair Witch Project was about. I nearly fell asleep. I agree about Johnny Depp - I don't think he was the right guy to play Willy Wonka.
