Relatively modern films you were disappointed in?

At least in the last 25 years!!!!!

Example ....this dud.

Dobermann.

 

Dunkirk
Ex Machina
Arrival
The Lighthouse
Ford vs Ferrari
Zombie land Double tap
And, of course, Prometheus and Alien Convenent

And I’m sure MANY more...


Let’s see, the worst?

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
Superman Returns
Jaw iI
the rocky horror picture show
The man who fell to earth
Enter the dragon
Inception

 

L i s t ?

Only seen Dunkirk & Arrival.

 

Arrival was a great film.

I was extremely disappointed by Avatar, the story was simplistic and cliched.
It Chapter 2 was disappointing, it was too long and had too many flashbacks.
The last James Bond film was disappointing.

 

Recent films ?

In the last 25 years.

Not films a half century old.

LOL.


Recent?

JoJo Rabbit.

 

Avatar?
Correct, after all the hype deserved to be better.
Chapter 2 ( first one didn’t scare me)
Bond? All DC JB films failed to impress me, except for CR. No Time To Die? Dont think I’ll even bother going to see.

 

Guy Ritchie‘s King Arthur.

Let's tell it like it is...
'Prometheus ' was dull and' Covenant ' barely made sense.

 

And what did you love?

 

Threads about films you were disappointed in.

 

Well, sure, but I asked Ghostworld what movies he loved. It's an offshoot. Conversations don't stay in the same lane. And so on.

I was kinda disappointed in Hereditary, in that I liked a good deal of it, but it didn't satisfy me at the end. Same for The VVitch. I felt the same way about Midsommar. I liked good portions of all three, but at the end, I just didn't quite feel it. I'm not sure I can articulate why exactly. Well, for Hereditary I can, I think it just went off the rails at the end.

 

Yeah. I liked the atmosphere. I liked the acting. I was intrigued. At the end, I was like, "Alright."

 

The Irishman. Did not expect to be so utterly bored.

 

Wasn’t sure if you meant the Vitch( 2017).
Hence deleting my post.

Liked it myself. One of the advantages of watching films in the cinema, perseverance.

 

There was a great horror movie somewhere in ' Midsommär ' but it just couldn' t find its way .

 

Sorry, I just spelled it like the poster spelled it. The Witch from 2015.

The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015) - IMDb

 

Ye olde spelling.

 

I'm sure I'll find others, but one that stands out to me is Avatar. I was expecting something truly mind blowing...and instead, thought of it as uncredited sci-fi remake of Dances With Wolves. The movie was visually rich - but the story and screenplay were inert and predictable. I was not encouraged hearing James Cameron intends to make sequels...

 

Odd Avatar is 11 years and no sequels, not complaining mind.

 

I think there are a few sequels waiting in the wings....there was a thread about them somewhere.....I was amazed that movie was as popular as it was. did nothing for me

 

Avatar.
Happy Feet...
Batman VS Superman.
Black Panther.
Avengers Infinity War.
Avengers End Game.
A Quiet Place...!!!
Aquaman.
Venom.
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.
Oceans 8.
Alien Covenant.
Atomic Blonde.

That is enough for now.

 

The witch
The revenant
Fury road
Phantom thread
The imitation game
The first part of that two-part avengers movie.
Lol. I just can’t remember the names of those movies


Oh I see you guys were talking about “the witch earlier in this thread. That’s funny all us diehard movie fans really liked that movie.

I don’t even remember alien covenant because I have no idea what it was about
