Films That Should Have Been Good But Were Horrendous.

[Guest]

Mission Impossible 2. Premise of film was good but John Woo needed put down after destroying it.

Any others?

Righteous Kill.

De Niro and Pacino. The dream team. Given a bog standard made for television plot and forces 50 Cent into a prominent role. Massive let down.

Righteous Kill was dog sh*t but I only had high hopes because of the De Niro/Pacino names being in it. The Hobbit 'trilogy' (haven't seen the last one yet obviously)  is very much in this category. For someone who obviously did his best to keep to the story on LOTR, he's taken far to many liberties with the storyline of The Hobbit. I'll be going to watch the last instalment but I suspect I'll be sat grumping to myself, as I did in the first two.

Slightly off topic but that p*sh TV show 'Bob Servant' takes some beating ...

I see the second series starts tonight ...

the blockbuster "Waterworld" directed by kevin Costner. 

like an Aqua version of the worst mad max film.

Godfather 3.. Horrendous in comparison to the first two movies

Phantom Menace was a joke.

Decent flick if you don't consider it as a Godfather film. Sofia Coppola was the source of a lot of that films problems in my opinion. The whole incestuous angle they were playing and Andy Garcia replacing Pacino in the more prominent role. It was just badly written, badly acted (in parts) and badly directed. But all that said, if it wasn't a film representing The Godfather, no-one would have batted an eyelid!

Same, really tried. Think I even convinced myself that the first three episodes were moderately funny, but it's only ongoing because it has Brian Cox in it, absolute gash.

I Am Legend.

It started off well but then basically lost it's way. The special effects on the mutants were awful and was the ending. They changed it from the book and ruined it.

Give Omega Man a watch. Film based on the same book. Maybe a little bit dated now, but a million miles better than that. Have to say though, the dog scene did get to me.
