Really promising movies that disappointed

I think I might blog about this. So what are your suggestions?
Ghost Rider seemed a good idea, and the trailer looked great, but the movie itself was laughable.
Your suggestions?

Pirates of the Carribean 3; At World's End. What a total stink bomb!

I thought Ratatouille looked like it had a lot of potential, but when I saw it I didn't hardly laugh at all. Maybe because I wasn't in the 6-12 year-old age group! LOL

X-Men 3. Also, Juggernaut is NOT a mutant! -
hulk it was rubbish-
Huck was worse then that.

The Number 23 ... with Jim Carrey. The concept was good, but about mid-way thru it just fell apart for me, and by the end I was like ... well if that's the ending ... everything in the beginning just didn't make sense! lol...ah well. -
Latest Indiana Jones flick.
X-Men 3 was terrible.
The first Narnia installment.
And I can say, without having seen it, the Sex and the City movie. It's one of the signs, you know. Next, locusts.

You thought Narnia didn't stack up? Why's that? I thought it was pretty good - particularly the CGI.
-
Lucy - well... perhaps I'd just had a bit too much of the children-save-the-world movie. I just thought it was a bit too predictable and contrived. Never read those books, but I'm sure they're more in depth and entertaining. For me. I know lots of people enjoyed the movie. I just wasn't bowled over, and Caspian did not do well at the box office opening weekend. Didn't bother to see it.
-
I thought the first Narnia was very beautiful-looking, but lacked depth. It was a very surface good-versus-evil thing, and neither good or evil had any unique personality quirks or defining characteristics or deep motivators besides just being good or evil.
I'm aware of the Biblical parallels, and my reaction isn't related to that-- I just thought things didn't feel fleshed out. -
I thought the biblical parallels were too preachy, and disguised itself in the movie - sort of a sneaky way to preach the bible.
-
Probably so, Lucy-- and I think they got lazy and used the Bible parallels so they felt they didn't actually have to do much with character.

Garfield-
I hate the voice they've given Garfield in any of the cartoons. That is not how I imagined him sounding when I used to read the comics.
-
-
"Stays in Vegas" was disappointing. Funniest parts were the ones on the commercials. -
Van Helsing. Just missed the mark.
-
Yes, horrible! I slept through most of that movie!
-
It could have been an interesting idea, but it was plotted so badly.
-
-
The worst movie in the history of worst movies - Gabriel.
Ben-
Yep, it did seem promising, and could have been, particularly from the reviews I read beforehand, but it was a total waste of money to go see it, although I enjoyed scoffing the Maltesers

Every sequel to the original Star Wars movie, was a disappointed. It seemed like it just kept repeating the same plot and same special effects. It was as if George Lucas was caught in his own "Ground Hogs Day".-
Oops, missed your comment - scroll down to read my whinge about the Star Wars sequels!

Little Black Book -
"The Fountain" with Hugh Jackman. I read the synopsis and it sounded really good and then it flopped, BIG TIME!
P.S. The Sex and the City movie was awesome!

Yeah, The Fountain seemed good according to it's blurb, but I was thoroughly confused towards the end, like the director had just taken an LSD trip and took us along with him.

Bridge to Tarabithia
300
The rest are older ones that a lot of people like that just didn't do it for me (Evil Dead and its sequels, etc). There are more newer ones... but apparently they were so bad I can't even remember them!
focusorganic.com-
300 disappointed you?! With all those six packs they could have just stood there for a couple of hours and I wouldn't have been disappointed!
-
Yep, completely disappointed with 300. The quality was great, and I'm not complaining about the guys, but the movie overall... just was a flop for me.
-
I didn't know Bridge to Tarabithia was a crying sort of movie until I was well into it. I really hate to cry in films, especially when I know it's contrived.
-
TSR, that's why I was disappointed with it. That and how the previews showed the only real fantasy part in the entire movie.
-
-
Was anyone else disappointed with The Da Vinci Code? That's the movie that inspired me to start this thread.
Ah, and the Star Wars movie with the little boy Annikin who couldn't act to save his life - that was a flop IMO. And that weird Jaja Binks (or whatever he was called) He just wrecked the movie because he was so annoying.-
I agree about episodes 1-3 of Star Wars. Total, COMPLETE bunk!
-
-
I hope you don't mind my taking the liberty to stretch the topic to include tv, but . . .
I was really disappointed in the Farewell episodes of MASH and Jerry Seinfeld. My favorite farewell episode was from The Mary Tyler Moore Show.-
I vaguely remember the last MASH episode and can't remember if I was disappointed or not, but was never a fan of Jerry Seinfeld.
-
-
Seinfeld fan here, the last one was very disappointing!
-
And what happened to JS after the show and why? What happened to any of them?
-

Anything by M.Night Shamylan (or however you spell that).-
The only one which was good was Sixth Sense - the rest he kept trying to do the same thing over and over again with a stupid twist that you end up expecting now that you know he does it in each movie, kind of loses the affect it's meant to produce.
-
-
I just saw Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull or whatever...
I remember when I was younger, I used to love these Indiana Jones movies, so I was expecting something really nice... but it just sucked... throughout all the movie I kept saying to myself " OMG thats impossible " ... like when Indiana Jones SURVIVED A NUCLEAR BOMB by hiding in a fridge... WTF IS THAT ? come on... I dont know, maybe the movie was intended for little kids but still, you dont do things like that... its a freaking NUKE, nothing can survive it...
To me the whole movie seemed like a lousy attempt from George Lucas to make some quick money by returning to life one of his franchise before Harrison Ford got to old to do it... it just sucked.-
Did he seem too old to do it now?
-
-
I fully agree with The Fountain...I wanted to love it but just couldn't.
To that I would add The Phonebooth (!!) and my sweetie would add The Bee Movie.-
Do you mean Phone Booth with Colin Farrell? If you are, yeah, that movie sucked big time. I ask because I looked on IMDB and there is "The Phonebooth" from 1999, but it doesn't look very well known.
-
-
No Country for Old Men... a movie without a real ending.
Shooter (2007)... a movie where every second of dialog is spoken in half-whisper, but amplified so everyone can hear it. I hate movies that do this. -
-
These are pretty stinky:

Note: a tiny bit of adult langauge in one of the scenes. Heavy dosage of cheese in all.-
Is Teen Wolf in the list?
-
My original reply was going to be Teen Wolf related. Oh well, never gets old sharing this:

Edit: Jason Bate-wolf sings Do You Love Me?

I was really looking forward to "the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy," but I was rather disappointed by it.-
Same here. What's with the cute robot?! Why was the second head hidden? Why did Trillian have such an annoying personality? Why didn't the doors talk? I suppose not having read the books would have made a big difference. My youngest calls it the movie about the "baby stormtrooper".

Okay, it's Saturday night, so I bring you the awesomeness that is:
Jay Leno and Mr. Miyogi kicking ass:

Superbad. But everybody seems to think I'm wrong on that. *rolls eyes*
