For me, the one that stands out is casting Jodie Foster's dad as the Alien in "Contact".
I remember being young, staying up late at night, watching that crappy film in anticipation of seeing the alien.
I wanted slime, i wanted lots of legs and eyes, i wanted green skin... and it was her ****ing dad.
what a disappointment.

Ok, we talking mistakes or disappointments?

Pearl Harbor kinda covers both of those for me :mad: Though it does deliver in a MST3K manner.
Charon

That's easy for me.
George Lucas' writing and directing the first 3 episodes of Star Wars.
I can't even watch epi. 4 - 6 now without thinking "what could have been..."
Bastard ruined my biggest childhood thrill.
-
Lord of the rings let me down. Shoulda stayed a book.
Pearl Harbor takes the cake tho.
-
All of the Jaws sequels...
Making a movie about a man's conflicted sexual desires, putting him in an F-14, and calling it Top Gun...
Casino Royale... James Bond wins all the chips after going all-in on a hand... with a far lower chip count to begin with. Not exactly how poker works.
In Gladiator you can see gas cylinders on the back of some of the chariots.
-
Oh come on, you KNEW Pearl Harbor was gonna suck. Michael Bay? Ben Affleck? How could it avoid the suckage???
Personally, I really love TLOTR but that's an entirely different debate.
-
Oh, and Team America...acting was really stiff and what's up with all those damn strings?? HELLO???? Green screen anyone??? Jeeeez.

I love LOTR, amazing films.

The battles yes. And how they made Ents look so bad arse.

The Fountain. Geez, was that an awful movie. It is officially the worst movie I have ever seen now. Displacing Pulp Fiction and Battlefield Earth as the worst ever.
What was even worse; I have not been to a movie in about 6 months. Missed some really good ones to end up seeing this garbage.
-
Biggest mistake?
Americans capturing the Enigma machine in U-571.
-
that movie should have been U-505.
Adm. Gallery's book about that would have been a good basis for the movie

Pearl Harbour.

Beg to differ, Skuzzy -- Pulp Fiction is one of the best films. Challenging plot sequence is quite daring, and it works big time.
For a really lousy film, how about any of the latest Bill Murray Stone Face farces? How could one of the great comedians think great drama is commensurate with least emotion?
Murray strives for Death of a Salesman and achieves Death of a Comedian.
-
Pushing Tin comes to mind as a colossal failure.
And I've been on the U505 a number of times. You're so right that they should have made the movie around that sub.
-
Only 2 movies I've never managed to sit all the way through- Entrapment and Alexander. Both were so Fn godawful that I turned them off.
I'm seriously considering suing Oliver Stone two get those two hours of my life back after Alexander, and I had Entrapment back at the Blockbuster I rented it from in less elapsed time than it would take to sit through the whole thing.
Wing Commander follows closely behind, but at least I made it to the credits on that POS.
EDIT- Almost forgot- never made it all the way through Being John Malkovitch either. Never laughed once and was so bored I turned it off and went to do the dishes.

How can you not love LOTR?

okay, i can agree with you on that...huge let down, but i felt that it was nicely counter balanced by that long bit of total silence in the beginning of the film when the "camera" extended beyond the earths first radio transmittions.
for some reason i really enjoyed that,

i have to attest to alexander, that film was so boring. i don't even know how it ended, just turned off the TV, it was a total waste of time.
i'd agree with furby on contact, the dad bit was really lame. you see her travel across the galaxy, see a huge alien world, then see her dad on a beach? what the hell is that?!?!

AI made me want o kill everyone because it was so bad it made me angry at the world. Also naplean dynomite was one of the worst, i do not see how that did so good, terrible.
-
TOPGUN. Filming was absolutely great...everything else sucked.
Stupidest film editing: Maverick goes into a flat spin...over the desert....lands in the ocean about 80 miles away.
Stupidest line of the movie: "Maverick's in a spin....and he's headed out to sea!"
Stupidest character: A hot blond PHd with fishnet stockings teaching TOPGUN students tactics. If this movie really wanted to be accurate she, and about 10 other chicks would have actually been boffed in the O'club head and that's the only time you'd see them in the entire movie.
Second stupidest line: "She's a civilian so you DON'T salute her!" (as freaking if)
Stupidest event: All four catapults on a CVN convieniently go down right after Maverick is launched.
Sapiest moment: Does any freaking moron really believe we fly with pictures of our loved ones stuck in our instrument panels???
Most accurate shouldhavegonefurther moment: Boffing a chick on the countertop in the men's head at the O'club.
Stupidest tactic: The famous aileron roll guns defense.
-
I got in trouble with my girlfriend for making fun of AI while watching it. One of my comments was "The aliens are so advanced they travel in cardboard boxes."

It's all a matter of opinion Halo. Pulp still is the only movie I ever got up and walked out on. "The Fountain", I just took a nap, then left.

One of the wost casting jobs I've seen was Jack Black in the Remake of King Kong
And Eddie Murphy in any of the remakes hes been in.
Nutty prof. Dr Doolittle etc

What do y'all think about the movie "Troy" with Brad Pitt? I liked it.
Far as worse movie ever made...probably "Love Story." Most disappointing movie for me is "The Thin Red Line." I don't think I've watched the entire movie (on a vcr tape I recorded) after playing it several times. It came out after "Saving Private Ryan" which was a tough act to follow. Guess it was more of a philosophical (artsy?) movie than a shoot em up. Still it was too slow moving for me.
Guess the coolest movie I've seen recently on cable is "The Island." I heard "Borat" was funny but will wait for it to come on cable. Not many Christmas choices so far for the big screen ( I only go about once a year.) Thought LOTR was a great movie.
Took me several times watching "Pulp Fiction" before I accepted it. The best part was where the boxer goes back to get the watch and the hitman is in the bathroom and left his Mac-10 on the kitchen counter. Yikes!!!

ohh man i went to see that crap in the movies. probably the worst movie Ive ever seen in my whole 16 years on the earth. i fell asleep through the movies at the theater and i never fall asleep.
ohh and the grudge. did any of yall know what the hell was going on in that movie. holy macral that movie totally sucked balls.
i also thought kung pow what a pretty gay arse movie.
i really liked the new king Kong, i thought that was a pretty kick prettythang movie.
one of my favorite movies was Rock Star now yall probably thought that movie sucked. but i thought the songs in the movie were pretty cool all the songs in the movie that the band sings are original. (i think)
-
Troy was pretty ordinary indeed....and Geroge Lucas tried valiantly to kill my childhood
Waterworld, and U571 are a good afternoon wasters...but seriously how could you not like LOTR, or Pulp Fiction?!?

I liked The Island though it got horrible reviews.
I think I just like Scarlett Johansson, though...

Yes, Saving Private Ryan did suck. Though I forgive Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. They gave us Band of Brothers.

Signs. An alien species is advanced enough to travel to our planet that is made up of 3/4 of what can kill them, and their big pre-attack plan is to run around naked on rooftops and make crop circles?
Fantastic Four. Ok, jumping on the bandwagon that is the superhero blockbuster.........let me get this straight, you made Jessica Alba...THE INVISIBLE WOMAN?
Don't even get me started on "Firebirds"

There wasn't a scene in the movie that wasn't painful to watch. All time worst movie ever..
-
I think you guys are getting off topic some. We can name **** for nothing movies all day, but what are the biggest let downs?
I was pretty disappointed with Independence Day. I thought they had a good chance to make some sweet combat scenes but the entire US air defense being made up of the same cloned F-18 killed that. Seemed pretty lazy not mix in some other stuff. And the part where the guys roll their eyes at Randy Quaid when he starts talking about being abducted by aliens while organizing an attack on the aliens.:huh
King Kong and that last X-Men movie are the most recent for me.
I cant believe you BlueJ, LOTR was great.:D
-
Iron Eagle was also terrible...
but I cannot stop myself from quoting it all the damn time. Just today I left the following message on my buddy's phone:
"They wern't runnin' they were just getting out of the way. Now move your butt...get out of the range of those guns!"
You must have Snake on the brain.

Old movie:
Does anyone remember the movie where Sean Connery is a sorcerer and lives in what looked like a giant floating tiki god chiminea moving slowly about 100 feet off the ground? Inside there was a huge cache of modern weapons laying about. The action took place in Scotland mainly, but the floating fortress could appear anywhere. That was a weird one..:D

what?! wedding crashers is a great film!

Worst? Sooo many. Independence day, the New King Kong, Signs, Waterworld, you named them.
But why did nobody name Steven Seagal?
Man, I thought Under Siege was ok. but anything else...not.
-
I've seen so many movies that I don't keep track of spoilers anymore.. I make a conscious effort to keep my disbelief suspended so as to not miss out on the gems amidst the charcoal, so that a movie has to really suck before I have no choice but to tell myself I have better things to do, and walk out.
Those movies I forget quickly, unless they're bad enough to feature in MST3K.
But off the top of my head, Pierce Brosman cast in any role other than the snobbish scientist in Mars Attacks.

Not a fan of violence for the sake of violence, I suppose. If I wanted that, I could go watch "Friday the 145th: When Sally Butchered Harry". I was not a big fan of the Matrix either, but it was better than Pulped Friction.
-
One way to think about Pulp Fiction and other violent films, and gore films and horror films and sex films and war films and all disturbing topics, is as training material to help cope with some of the uglier aspects of life which might happen to any of us somewhere, some time.
Like bad language, we don't want to be so shocked or stunned by bad things that we cannot cope with them if they happen to us or escape their consequences.
For example, Pulp Fiction taught me to avoid surly guys carrying big guns. Whew, sure glad to learn that.

Actually, I enjoy a good animated film. I go to movies for entertainment. I can get all the reality I want everyday outside the movies. I don't go to movies looking for the meaning of life, or anything along those lines. I go to them to be entertained. That's my cup of tea, it may not be yours, which is fine by me.
For me, violence for the sake of violence is not entertaining in a movie. Simple. I see nothing stunning nor brilliant about Pulp Fiction. Quite the opposite actually. My terms would probably be boring and simplistic, right up there with any number of 'B' movies, just less entertaining.
Oh, I am not putting down anyone for thier opinion, why is it mine is drawing such a reaction? What people find entertaining is a pretty subjective and, possibly, a personal matter. Why not just respect that?

That one had a very young Kevin Costner as the B-17 Captain.

Aside from the Oscars and Golden Globes, Dances with Wolves was also well recieved by the general public, was critically acclaimed, and was a financial success as well. Yes, many movies that win best picture are overrated. Many directors that win best director Oscars are overrated, as are the writers who win Best Screenplay. Movies that earn all 3, however, did something right, and in a big way. Like it or not, this movie did many thnigs right, and rightfully earn Costner a place as a movie maker.
On a personal note: I saw it, and although I was not always drawn into the character's plight, I can say, without a doubt, that it was visually impressive, that its production values were on par with the best, and that suspension of disbelief was total. It was a big, impressive movie that many people enjoyed and will continue to enjoy despite what the director did in his subsequent career.
Just saying.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but although I'm not a Tom Cruise fan Vanilla Sky is a film I can watch over and over again. It is so multi-layered that I catch something new every time I see it. It was critically panned and most people didn't like it but I thought it was brilliant.

IMHO.

Biggest recent let down was King Kong. I expected so much more from Peter Jackson.
I'm also wondering who had the bright idea that Jack Black could act in a more "serious" role.
As for "Contact," wasn't the book written similarly to the movie. IIRC, there were more people on the machine, but there weren't any slimy aliens.
-
hmm i don't know my whole family really liked the new King Kong. the special effect were nicely done.
now i thought a really great movie that came out was Bad Santa that movie was priceless.

i thought the personification of kong was supremely well done.
the dinosaurs were crap, but i enjoyed it overall.

Oh yeah, Independence Day...........
Ok, making something new that Orson Wells did decades ago, they kill the aliens with a virus, wait.....a computer virus. One question....
What did they do, corrupt their .exe files? Were they running Windows?
I can't get a mac to talk to a pc, and they just up an created a virus that will infect alien computers?
Moving along......
If the death star could destroy a planet, why did they have to wait until the moon was out of the way to destroy the planet in Star Wars? Why didn't they blow up the moon?
If Gandolf could summon those big prettythang eagles at the end to save Frodo and Samwise, couldn't he have saved everyone a lot of walking and summoned them at the beginning to drop the dam ring in the volcano from the air?

Well...they actually had to wait untill the big planet moved out of the way of the moon...the rebel base was on a moon :)

Ok, making something new that Orson Wells did decades ago, they kill the aliens with a virus, wait.....a computer virus. One question....
What did they do, corrupt their .exe files? Were they running Windows?
I can't get a mac to talk to a pc, and they just up an created a virus that will infect alien computers?
They actually uploaded a Beta version of Explorer 7.

I think it was Vista, or Office 2007. Or a Sony music CD.

of what i've actually seen in theaters over the past year or so...
cars was pretty dissapointing, mater was the only thing that saved it.
the davinci code was crap, i was expecting something better given the amount of whining that was done.
that harry potter movie was pretty bad as well, teen angst in a movie based of of childrens books...ick
almost everything else was garbage to, but i didnt have any expectations...only things that were worth the cost was lucky number slevin and over the hedge.

two really bad ones with something in common were..
Paint your wagon and some other musical with Bruce Willets in it where they sang through heists in order to time things... much better than watches apparently.
Paint your wagon had Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin breaking out in song... I was embarassed for em... but, at least it had good scenery... the One with Bruce was mostly in dark, empty buildings.
Action heroes at the peak of their careers doing muisicals.... really bad idea..

You gotta be ****tin me. I saw "Paint your Wagon" referenced to on the simpsons and I thought it was a joke.
Basically the scene is this. Bart and Homer rent this clint eastwood western because they think it's going to be a kick bellybutton action flick, but as they are watching it clint and the old gray guy break into song about painting wagons. Much to the male simpsons dismay.
I just thought it was a joke. Like the planet of the apes musical.

that Bruce Willis movie was "Hudson Hawk" he didnt like it either. It was made during his "Moonlighting" years right around the same time he did "Blind Date" I kinda liked "Hudson Hawk" despite the singing, but I dont know why

How about all except the first and second Star Wars? Specifically Lucas' blatant attempt to play to six-year olds and providing additional post-release toy marketing with cuddley little killer Teddy Bears and the retarded Jar-Jar in Episode 1? How about the abysimal selection for Anakin in the last two movies? From what I could see, Darth Vader was primarily the result of Whining Teen Angst. "Obi-wan won't let me do this, Obi-wan won't let me do that, Obi-wan doesn't trust me, Obi-want never lets me do anything!" If Obi-wan had only "grounded" Anakin and given him a little "tough love" everything would have been hunky dory.

You gotta love the guild for banning Lucas from ever directing another movie. It's a shame they relented and let him make Howard The Duck. Shoulda banned him again straight after.
Not gonna say a word against LoTR, those movies are still making me money.
Alexander was poor - strayed very far from historical accuracy.
Troy was kinda fun but it's a shame Sparta was represented in the way it was but no-one wants to hear my thesis on ancient Greek city states.
Jack Black only got the role in Kong cos he did such a fine job of ripping the piss out of Jacksons precious at the MTVMA's.

suave... yep.. it was real allright... like a nightmare but real..
Oh... once one of my former wives rented "the prince of tides"... I fell assleep about 4 hours into it but when I woke up it was still on and I had to watch the last 3 or 4 hours or so of it.
That was a bad movie. Like being stuck in the womans channel or something.

iron eagle was filmed in israel with israeli planes and the enemy were iaf kfires and mirages lol and they claimied the planes where usaf hahah yah right look at the paint scheme pure desert baby

If you do a search on YouTube, you'll find the raw Israeli Air Force footage. Its only about 13 minutes. So if those clips in the movie seemed to repeat themself a lot...its all they had. Seeing it when I was 15, even I noticed that scene to scene, the armament configurations kept changing.
One thing that makes me roll my eyes with any movie with fighter jets in them....they always show them in constant full afterburner. If they only knew how fast a fighterjet eats thru fuel...they'd change that.
