Dvd's you watched recently that sucked.

[CAhobbit]

Also, I finally watched Army of Darkness and I have to say it sucks, sorry, it's way to ridiculous and cheesy and not in a good way.

For me the few that come to mind are...

Ghosts of the Abyss - I would have preferred much more footage and history of Titanic instead of all the build-up of how the trip was being planned, new technology (granted some of that was interesting) and stuck robots. In many ways this film was much like the movie "Titanic". The few bits of history and actual Titanic shots were great but overall it was mucked up with unnecessary or annoying story pieces.

Black Sheep - The concept was interesting enough but overall I just found it too long and blah.

The Ex
Happy Feet (I know a lot of people enjoyed it but I felt it was a pointless mess)

Death Proof

another standard Tarantino movie

I got bored in the second part really

So true. However the theatrical version was much better than the DVD.

Saw Grindhouse in the theatre and I have to say Planet Terror was the better of the 2 in my opinion.

 

[Eli26]

Death Proof sucked beyond the telling of it. There was no story. Just some sick twisted humor and people killing eachother with cars... whoopy!

And dr2red... you poo! Futurama the movie rocks! Not as good as I thought it could have been. I still think that Godfellas and Ends Well in Roswell are the two best Futurama episodes/movies... but this was still entertaining and funny regardless. It's intelligent humour. So perhaps that's it.

*hides*

I only kid dr2red.

I tried to watch "7 Mummies" on DVD yesterday. It was a gift from one of my family members. I couldn't even get through it all the way. Man what a boring and completely crap movie!

i don't rent sucky movies

Why spend $$ on movies you know suck?

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Starship Trooper 2 was the last terrible DVD i bought, it was rubbish.

I was wondering when you would chime in, Eli. I remember you started the Futurama movie thread.

For my graduation, one of my birthday gifts my friends gave me was a $1 DVD at Walmart called Laserhawk. It stars Jason James Richter (kid from Free Willy) and Mark Hamill!!! Needless to say, after watching the movie I now know why the Free Willy kid isn't making movies anymore.
They only got me this because they know how I love movies and buy too many DVDs. Sigh...

Bill Paxton was so annoying with his commentaries!!

I agree with Happy feet, while it was cute, it was the most stoopid ending ever!
Do me a favour if humans found dancing/singing penguins they would take them and disect them not dance with them.
So what, i'm a glass half empty girl

Also, I finally watched Army of Darkness and I have to say it sucks, sorry, it's way to ridiculous and cheesy and not in a good way.

The parts with just Ash in them are great. The battle and most of the scenes with the knights and army really suck.

As for buying a crappy movies on DVD, I haven't. In this day and age you just know when a movie sucks and is not worth the purchase.

I did pick up one of those 50 Horror Movies for 20 bucks things, ****ty quality, but some fun movies like Last Man on Earth and the original House on Haunted Hill.

 

[Chimera 1]

I know lots of tou will have a different POV, but just saw Rob Zombie's Halloween last week on dvd.Didnt like it very much like I thought I would.

Oh that was a major dissapointment. I saw it in theatres. It was good until they grew him up and then it crashed. They should have made the whole movie about him as a kid and then it would have been badass.

 

[Chimera 1]

I literally fell asleep halfway through the movie when I saw it at the theater on opening weekend (granted, it was a Midnight show). I do have the Blu-Ray, but haven't been inspired to watch it again yet.

IMHO, that franchise really jumped the shark (or, jumped the kraken) in the last 2 movies, ala The Matrix sequels.

I agree. They are making a 4th one and this is supposed to be all about Jack. They aren't renewing Orlandos contract and I don't think they are bringing Knightly back either. So it should be good. i heard it come out in 2010.

Well a lot of the movies in this thread are actually great films. How do you know a movie sucks unless you see it yourself?

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Yeah, AOD is great until you get to that big battle and then it just drags the whole movie down. They should do a re-edit and trim the hell out of that scene, save people the trouble of fast forwarding throught it.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

rush hour 3....the first was just ok, the second was great, but three just sucks all around IMO

 

[IrishJedi]

If so, it's already better than the last two.

lol...i agree!!! the first one is so much better than the sequels. my mom describes them: "the special effects look great, but other than that i don't know what the hell's going on"
