Most disappointing movie expreience of your lifetime

[Commodore Schmidlapp]

This is for that one movie that had you so pumped you couldn't contain your excitement. But once you actually saw the movie, it literally pissed you off due to the build up of anticipation. For me it was Godzilla, I was so freaking pumped for that flick summer of 98' only to have my hopes crushed that night at the drive in.

300 in IMAX.

The movie wasnt bad, I loved it, but the experience....

First, we got there late. There were NO seats. So I had to sit in the very back, on a baby seat thing. Hurt my ass.

Then when Gorgo stabs Theron (?), the entire theater erupted in applause. Including me. And then this ******* kid I was with pretty much attacked me until we got home.

I was weaker then...but still. A buzzkill.


But from a full on movie perspective, Spider-Man 3.

 

[Heretic]

The correct answer is Batman And Robin. I didn't sit through the whole thing, and haven't seen the entire film to this day.

That's funny because I only recently saw the ending of B&R, I just couldn't make it all the way through

 

[colossus96]

yes, batman and robin, i was waiting in line outside the theater for about 2 hours with my friends waiting for that movie, i came out so depressed, my friends had never seen me like that

Spider-Man 3. Back then I foolishly fell for fancy teaser trailers and other promotions. I should have realized that was a giant trap for a bad movie.

 

[El Payaso]

Spiderman 1.

Not exactly a horrible film, but I expected so much more. I was hoping it was going to be the next step in the superhero movies genre but it was a no-risk predictable Hollywood product filled with corny lines, poor jokes, cliches and a terrible plastic mask covering Dafoe's perfect face.

It was the only time I've bought tickets in advance.

But the second one was so much better.

The Phantom Menace left me underwhelmed; still till this very day, I can't watch the entire movie

 

[hitmanyr2k]

Jason Goes to Hell comes to mind. The trailer was cool. The TV spots had me and my brother hyped. We went to the first showing of the movie and were horribly disappointed that Jason was only on screen for about 10 minutes of the whole freakin movie. I doubt anyone expected that a demon would possess a coroner, a pot-bellied cop, and a reporter and they would go around doing all the killing. We both felt ripped off when it was over and so did everyone else because that's all we heard from people leaving the theater lol. If the internet had existed back then and people knew in advance what they were about to see that movie wouldn't have made a penny.

 

[Sawyer]

Year One. The single most disappointing comedy of my lifetime.

 

[craigdbfan]

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Loved the movie but one of the most horrible theater experiences ever.

I got into an argument with a lesbian couple over a silly exaggeration on their part (they though I was talking with my girlfriend when I was whispering into her ear) and it got pretty heated to the point where they asked us to leave the theater.

They refunded my ticket for another screening at a different time but I couldn't get over that argument even during my second viewing.

I thought that movie would forever be attributed to that silly squabble.

Thankfully I've been able to watch the movie in DVD several times without that incident coming to mind.

 

[Episode29]

Batman Forever

I remember it well. It was 14, in love with Burton's films and obsessed with Jim Carrey. I had collected all the preceding tie-in movie magazines. I'd even had a t-shirt made with the movie poster on it. I went opening night and was stunned at how boring and campy it all was. Not a single moment of excitement or creativity. Just dull paint-by-numbers storytelling. To this day I actually prefer B&R to Forever because it at least knew it was nothing more than a dumb cartoon. Foreverhad the elements for greatness and slowly crapped them out for over two hours.

I'd seen plenty of bad movies prior, but Forever was the first movie which taught me that I could be let down by a film.

 

[Kurosawa]

The X-Men movie franchise and it's disgusting treatment of Cyclops.

 

[BMM]

X-Men 3. Despite its thus far adaptation at that point, the one thing I didn’t want to happen to the X-Men franchise happened—it lost its original creative team mid-story. After X2: X-Men United, and knowing they were going to tackle the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga, I couldn’t wait to see X-Men 3. Then, sure enough, come summer 2004 the creative team behind the first two movies left or was fired. After 3 years, I couldn’t wait to see Phoenix burst from the water, but The Last Stand couldn’t even get something as simple as that right let alone the rest of the movie.

 

[SuperFerret]

X-Men 3 still stands as the only movie I've left the theater disappointed from. I've grown to enjoy it for what it is since.

 

[redhawk23]

I was severly dissapointed by Spiderman 3 and Terimanator Salvation.

I found Public Enemies to be quite underwheming.

 

[Nirvana]

X-Men 3, Pirates 3 and Terminator Salvation all come to mind.

 

[crazzycat]

Friday 13th the sequel ща all friday 13th movies, why they did it so bad!

Ugh. Spider-Man 3 for me still has been the most disappointing because I fully enjoyed watching SM1 & 2 multiple times. Definitely two of the best super hero movie adaptations although they seem to be forgotten as of recently due to other SH films taking the spotlight (rightfully in most cases like IM and Nolan's Batman series).

SM3 should have been something really great but something went horribly wrong when it turned into the adventures of Peter Parker co-starring Spider-Man.

Saw it in IMAX too. Felt bad for my friends brother paying for all our tickets.

 

[Heretic]

A few people have mentioned being underwhelmed by their film experiences, and that leads me to a question...

People are often underwhelmed, and at times overwhelmed...but is it possible to be just plain whelmed??

2001: A Space Odyssey

What a boring pile of sh**.

 

[Angeloz]

"Superman IV". I loved the book. Christopher Reeve did his best. But I hated it for the terrible editing and other things.

[theseverproject]

The second matrix movie, hated it.
also spiderman 3 was a pile of ****, i think most people would agree.

I also agree about the phantom menace and X3, there are more but i cant remeber right now..or im just choosing not to.

 

[Nivek]

In theater: Halloween 6 and Jason Goes to Hell.

The only theater that showed slasher flicks near where I grew up was this Ghetto theater in Spring Valley, NY. I swear, I could hardly hear the movie over the loud ass audience who treated the theater as a big ****ing living room, the lights came on twice and they stopped the film once during Halloween 6. I wanted to slaughter every mother ****er there. It still makes me angry just thinking about it.

At Home: Unbreakable

I actually returned the movie 5 minutes after watching it, and said it was defective so I got my money back. Such a stupid, over rated wad of crap that forever damned M. Night in my eyes.
