Movies you didn't like

Hands down, no contest, found it a colossal waste of everything involved: The English Patient.

I hate to say it, because I SO wanted to like it (had an enormous crush on Ralph Fiennes at the time), but...I hated it too. When I went to see it, I was with a friend who was on chemo and we were treating ourselves to a movie as a form of escape. About two-thirds of the way in, she turned to me and said, "This makes Shindler's List look like joy."

I loved it, but guess I'm in the minority.

I'm with you, Kyt and Shmeep. Boring as hell. Not to mention pretentious. And wa-a-a-ay too long.

Yeah, but that scene in the bathtub was fantastic.....

About a third of the say through my husband leaned over to me and said "Isn't this a little slow?"

I didn't like M.Night S. movie Signs with Mel Gibson. I went in all excited because I loved Sixth Sense. I expected to be surprised by the ending but it really was aliens. I don't know, I was disappointed.

I also don't like the majority of the TV shows adapted to the big screen. I absolutely hated the Avengers--how could they have ruined that fabulous show!!!! The only ones I have liked are the Star Trek series (number 1 is a little iffy) SWAT (Colin Farrell ) and Lost in Space.

Finding Nemo.

I'm not saying it's not a good movie, but it definitely was not what I was expecting, and I can't get myself to even watch it again to see if I could like it on a more artsy level.
