I'' start..

The Deer Hunter.. really looked forward to this but it was by far the slowest film I have ever seen.

The Shining.. Don't really understand the hype. I have to agree that the actual performances from Nicholson/that lass were outstanding but the film itself I thought ws utter nonsense

The Matrix.. don't even get me started on this film

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

brokeback mountain, it was good, but i was expecting it to be amazing and it just wasnt

[MTVN]

Se7en & Anachorman are my main two, both decent films but se7en isnt anything special and Anchorman only has a couple of funny moments

[Lee.]

Scott! I think with all that's happened recently regarding permabans/invasions of privacy, you are being pretty bold using that pic of me in your avatar!!

You sure you weren't looking for a good porn film and disappointed in the end? lol

I've never found Will Ferrell funny in anything. Only ever liked Stranger Than Fiction but inspite of him.

Anyway, I think Crash was awful. I really liked the premise but it was executed terribly.
Not surprised it won an Oscar though, with all its in your face racism/discrimination lessons.

The Hangover. It's not funny. Not a bit of it. It's just ~crazy non humour designed to be transfered via Facebook status updates. I literally didn't laugh at a single moment of it even though I felt like I should have been laughing at all of it which is a really rotten thing for a comedy.

TIGER IN THE APPARTMENT AND THE MAIN GUY WAS ON THE ROOF. ZACH WHATSHISFACE. DRINKING. HA HA HA HA

Sorry, wrong meeting.

The Last Exorcism & The Blair Witch Project.

[Josy]

Oh and Splice, lots of people I know said it was amazing, I thought it was quite ****e.

[Patrick]

The Hangover.

I have it on DVD and it was pretty cool - but it wasn't as good as people made out, honestly.
Maybe it's just because 2009 sucked in terms of movies or something, I don't know.

Due Date though, brilliant - better than The Hangover.

[Stu]

Oh yeah ... Inception. Falls into the overated category for me, not the crap one. A very well made, slick film with solid performances but it's had that horrible Da Vinci code effect of convincing thick people that it was much deeper, metaphysical and edgy than it actually was [See : Donnie Darko]. It's done wonders in shilling sensationalist dream decoder books to the neurotic, suburban woman who didn't already have one.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) - Man plays with food.

Jaws (1974) - Man vs shark: a battle of the minds.

Blade Runner (1982) - Man hunts 'replicants', fascinated by a lady replicant.

Transformers (2007) - I paid money to watch machines with ethos crash and burn thus creating pathos. Instead I got Shia Lebouf try and bone Megan Fox.

Harry Potter and the Philospoher's Stone (2001) - Annoying brats tackle a dark lord.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) - Annoying brats return, joined by an annoying elf.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) - After 2 *cough - 5* years of maturing somewhat, annoying brats are annoying again. This this time they're hormonal and petty. Meanwhile annoying adults are in denial.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) - Annoying brats sit around and wait for the next film.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010) Annoying brats go searching - but they don't know what for. Idiots.

Star Wars/Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope (1977) - Man is told he's a space monk and must rescue a princess.

The Emprie Strikes Back/Star Wars Episode 5: The Emprie Strikes Back (1980) - Space monk realises Darth Vader isn't dead, meets a green puppet and learns a shattering but camp secret.

Return of the Jedi/Star Wars Episode 6: Returns of the Jedi (1983) - Little furry things run amock and somehow destroy an evil empire using sticks and stones with the help of Space Monk.

Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999) - A little boy is told he is powerful while some space monks fight a mute martial artist and an orange creature ruins an already overrated franchise with offensively racist undertones

Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones (2002) - The little boy grows up to become an arrogant space monk. Some sh!t about cloning. The grene puppet from earlier films is now in CGI - he kicks ass. All is a joke.

Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith (2005) - Arrogant space monk gets jiggy with his secret wife, has premonitions she will die, becomes Darth Vader, screams "NOOOOOOOOO!" - quite camp. The earlier films you know and love/love to hate are born.

The Dark Knight (2008) - doesn't suck but it is overrated compared to Batman Begins. A clown goes through many elaborate and beyond belief stunts just to corrupt a DA's mind.

Spider-Man 2 (2004) - Geeky superhero teen feels guilty conscience over his uncle's death in first film, his aunt becomes bankrupt, his love - an annoying wet diva. Some guy gets mechanical tentacles and somehow develops a split personality.

Spider-Man 3 (2007) - Geeky superhero teen learns his uncle was killed by someone else - making the whole guilty conscience plot of the previous movie redundant. Three different villains; the under-used, the over-used and, the used-and-abused.

Halloween (1978) - Boogie man stalks random babysitters with no motive. His motive is then revealed in sequel but it sucks.

Toy Story 2 (1999) - Cowboy doll is abducted by geeky man. Lacks the originality of first film and not as grand as the third.

The Matrix (1999) - Hacker learns he's a messiah, must free humanity from slavery in the 1990s for a post-appocalyptic Sentinel-warzone. Go figure.

That'll do for now

[Patrick]

Good man Ben, for not mentioning Harry Potter 3.
Because that is Jizzable.

[Niall]

The Hangover is definitely waaaaaay too overrated. Oh and when I watched Juno, I head it was meant to be really funny all the way through and that it was meant to be a comedy, I watched it and there was about 5 funny moments of it interspersed with montages featuring crappy indie songs. Its was rather sh!te.

[Stu]

Give Blade Runner another whirl again when you're all grown up. It's quite something.

[MTVN]

Well I loved the Hangover, one of the best comedies I've seen

Another one I thought was crap was Scott Pilgrim vs the World, but that was never my type of film/comedy anyway

LMAO, any other normal person wouldn't watch the endless sequels of these series if they hated them the way you seem to. Glutton for punishment?

[GiRTh]

Bladerunner is a great film. One of my all time faves. Deer Hunter is no where near as good as Apocalypse Now and it does have pacing issues but it probably one of the best acted films of all time.

For me, The Piano. How did that film win so many awards? Holly Hunter was good but the other actors are terrible, the characters are inconsistent and the plot has numerous holes.

Titanic. Dont get me started but consider this, the whole film is told thru the eyes of Kate Winslets ageing character but things happen that she could never have been aware of.

Hey somebody's gotta be there to question the realism of Batman villains.

Of all things, that was your problem with Titanic? lol

But, we the audience saw the events onscreen as they happened, it was only the characters listening to the old lady that only heard about things she saw.
Otherwise they'd have known she still had the diamond at the end.
That's the point, the audience saw it but the characters she was telling the story to didn't.
