Knock Knock. I like Keanu and the trailer looked great. Ended up being one of the worst films ever.

I can't think of a film I have been so excited for be this bad before.
I've waited a while to see movies before and been bitterly dissapointed like Feast ll (I loved the 1st), The Descent Part 2 and Annabelle.

The Purge (original) movie comes to mind right away. I loved the idea behind it but thought the movie was executed terribly.

Just horrible. I will be forever grateful to Ryan Reynolds for getting a proper Deadpool movie to save the character.

I haven't even seen the sequel... but I thought from the beginning that the Smith / Goldblum team up was needed for a successful sequel. When they couldn't get Smith on board it was just never going to work.

Anchor Man 2 : I had heard that it wasn't great before I saw it but I thought I loved the first so much this is going to be decent I'm sure, it can't be as bad as the reviews but it was, horrendous. I like to pretend that it never happened

Will Smith was a major part of why the first was good without him it was like a really inferior remake

It didn't feel like Independence Day it felt like a complete different movie with some of the cast from the previous film

I came in to say this too. I'm not even really a fan of the first one and I was actually pleased Will Smith wasn't in it :laugh: I just thought the idea they had for it sounded really good. They exectued it terribly though and everything, the acting/writing etc was absolutely awful.
Also, Prometheus. Was such a let down.

Iron Man 3. Well, I suppose only partially as Iron Man 2 was also pretty bad... But 3 was just straight up stupid. A slapstick comedy feat. Robert Downey Jr wrestling with his broken robot suit, and then Gwyneth Paltrow has super powers. No. Just... Just no.
The MCU films are generally of varying quality. Like I said, Iron Man 2 is also bad, and I struggle with the first Thor too. But Iron Man 3 stands out as being straight up unwatchable. If I'm doing my "Start to finish MCU binges" it's the only one I skip. Well, The Incredible Hulk too, obviously, 'cos as much as I like Ed Norton, that just isn't Bruce's Banner.

Unlike Anchorman's sequel which was at least serviceable and funny in parts, and unfairly panned IMO, this was absolute drivel and an embarrassment to fans of the first movie.

I object! I literally didn't crack a smile once through the whole film and I loved the first one

:nono: not even the dinner scene with his (black) girlfriend's family? I liked the scenes with Brick and his girlfriend (Kristen Wiig) too.
But yeah it wasn't great. Just thought it was "alright".

I really enjoyed Iron Man 1, I thought that Iron Man 2 was okay, but I am with you on Iron Man 3, it wasn't awful but I couldn't get into the Film unless Guy Pearce was in the scene.

I tried to watch this the other night online. But umm there was two Spilts in 2016. The other one is some weird drama featuring women who finger themselves for the sake of becoming better at acting or something, idk.
I'm not even bull****ting, I sat through all of this

I actually thought the first one was OK, just with some ... questionable ... acting. Although IMO no moreso than The Hunger Games :think: none of those kids can act either.
The sequel is ridiculous though.
