The Boring Movie Thread

[CelticGrace]

Please tell me you went into watching Nine Lives expecting to be bored lol

I remember that one... the only reason I was even remotely entertained by it was because I was watching it at like 3am

OH! LOL I did not make it past the couch scene with all the horrible dialogue. I just wanted see what Paris looked like. She was so typical. I thought she was good though in House of Wax LOL. I really was cheering for her in the car scene!! hahaha

The Expendables,what a waste of time. My opinion! You may like it but....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I expected so much more.

 

[CelticGrace]

I sooooo want to see that, just because it's the type of movie I tend to gravitate toward. but I dunno if I'll ever get around to watching that one lol

did you know they're making a second one?

 

[SparkyMaddie]

It was a bunch of men...lazy men trying to solve a very typical kidnapping. I felt Arnold should have been in more than one scene..it's not funny really. I thought it would be somewhat,maybe you'll think dif. Come back and see me when you do so I can hear what you thought!

Legal Eagles..boring movie even though Robert Redford was in it.

How about the last Indiana Jones film..I about left...

 

[CelticGrace]

it's grown on me the more I've watched it. And it's still not the worst Indy film. That will always be Temple of Doom. At least I'll watch Indy 4. I won't even watch Temple of Doom unless I'm forcing myself to do a complete Indiana Jones marathon.

Last night on TV I saw a very boring movie which is competing in my experience with, yes, boring films like "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." as mentioned here.

It is "The Pride and the Passion."
Frank Sinatra's accent is bad (Hoboken keeps slipping in to the point of comedy but it is a serious drama; he is totally miscast.) Cary Grant not much better but at least playing an Englishman so no phony accent. And, what can I say about Sophia Loren..who looks good and acts well in even a boring movie. Main character and best part is played by a huge cannon. (I mean a big gun which fired off 95 lb cannon balls). Set in Spain over 200 years ago and filmed in the 1960's..nice cinematography and special effects. But that is all..very boring to hang in there to a disappointing end. Better to see Sophia and Cary in "Houseboat." Great movie!

haha that made me laugh..^ i will remember never to watch. phony accents kill me!

I really got bored with this film called Lady in the Water..ughhhhh

 

[CelticGrace]

I'll never watch Lady in the Water, on principle... it was directed and written by M. Night Shyamalan. The last of his movies that I watched was Signs... and I've regretted it ever since. The last one I watched and enjoyed was Unbreakable.

Go into every movie with an OPEN MIND!!!!
You never know what you might like even if many people hated it.
I recently had that experience with Jersey Girl. Not many people liked it.
But if I was some schlub who listened to what others thought and dismissed the movie on their recommendations,
I'd've missed a good movie!

That's all.

I kinda feel the same,he disappoints. I think he wants to be a Stephen King,lacks the artistic ability to really deliver.Interesting ideas though.

 

[CelticGrace]

Zoooma, I'll watch anything Kevin Smith writes or directs, no matter how stupid it is (yes, I am that brainwashed )... I happened to love Jersey Girl.

 

[SparkyMaddie]

I have not seen anything boring lately other than the Scream films lol

 

[Sunburst]

The Expendables,the last few Star War films too.

 

[Shifu]

I've never seen the Expendables... but the last few Star Wars films? I agree that "The Clone Wars" is horrendous, but I liked "Revenge of the Sith." The other prequels are pretty bad though.

"The Kings Speech" was boring.

 

[SparkyMaddie]

I loved The Kings Speech! It was moving. Oh well! LOL

I almost fell asleep during the film about stopping the train...unstoppable
