Sucker Punch.

It felt so shallow which in turn made all the Rule of Cool moments fall flat. I'll propably give it another try in the future, with suitable amount of alcohol.

The first Underworld movie was so boring and flat. The second one was slightly better, averting Tough Act to Follow... because it wasn't.

Agreed so very much on Underworld. That movie was one of the most boring I ever saw.

The Dark Knight.

Oh. My. God.

It's like one, big FMV cutscene from the '90s.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I just find it really, really slow and boring, with a lot of elements and characters not explained very well (note that I haven't read Tolkein's work, so maybe that's got something to do with it).

I don't know why, but I think I've seen the LOTR trilogy more than I have any other films, and I don't consider any of them as one of my all time favorites (not even in the top 20), though it's probably one of my favorites of the last decade. There's just something about it that makes for great escapism. The awesome score helps a lot. It's probably what cemented my interest in high epic fantasy, when I'd mainly only been a fan of Conan style sword and sorcery in the past. Though I'll admit there were some parts that dragged, and that scene near the end with Frodo on the bed is unintentionally hilarious. I can totally see why people would be put off by it, and I'm actually surprised it's as popular as it is.

[up] Is it sad that I actually find the concept interesting?

[up] Not sad at all. It's an awesome concept. That's why I bought it. The more fool me!

The only reason I sat though all of Slumdog Millionaire was so I could write a review while still being legitimate. There is absolutely no reason to watch that terribad disgrace of a film all the way through.

Yeah, the Underworld movies. Haven't finished any of them, though I do want to give them another try. Though I will proudly state that I made it all the way through Son Of The Mask.

And, I hate to break it to you all, but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is on the exact same level as the previous three in terms of quality. This nonsense has gone on long enough. Yes, nobody liked the Star Wars prequels, but just because George Lucas was involved with this too doesn't mean you have to hate it by default, people. I can't wait for someone to invent a device that objectively measures movie goodness so I can finally stop hearing about this. I mean... I didn't even love the movie, but goddamn, guys, cut out this hyperbole already.

I don't hate Crystal Skull, but it's nowhere near the level of the first three for me.

I revisited Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and I have to admit it isn't that bad, it isn't as good as the previous films and has it's corny scenes, but it's still not bad.

Oh look I mispeled somethink.

I would have to say that the 2nd Underworld is worth watching, despite the nigh-inexistence of the first.

I agree with The Dark Knight TBH. It was so long. I find Christopher Nolan's movies very difficult to become emotionally invested in. It's a Long Story.

Yet I look forward to the next movie in the trilogy... the trailer was awesome.

@Eddie: Agreed. I actually quite liked Crystal Skull. It's actually better than Temple of Doom, honestly. Say what you want about Shia La Beouf, but Doom has by far the most annoying sidekicks. (And not one, but two!)

I do agree that Crystal Skull was better than Temple of Doom, but they are all still good movies. Last Crusade is still my fav, though.

Well, I couldn't finish The Road. Great film and good at what it does, except what it does is be depressing and hopeless. Really good film but I can't finish it.

I have never walked out of a movie in a theater (the closest I've gotten was in The Tree Of Life or as I like to call it "The world's most pretentious HDTV demo reel") but one movie I watched on TV definitely comes to mind: Ang Lee's Hulk. Nick Nolte's bizarre ramblings were annoying enough but when the Hulk Dogs showed up I literally went "FUCK THIS!" and changed the channel.
