Hi there. One of the worst movies I ever saw was Titanic, the only part i enjoyed was when Leonardo died. Any other movies other INTJ's dislike?

[Lei Yang]

The Messengers and the Orphanage.

What is it with the theme of the Orphanage? You know, the whole "what a mother will do for her child" thing... It's so overused, especially in horror (dark water, silent hill...)

But generally, I love movies. I even liked Domino, even though "everyone" seems to have hated it.

Can't remember much from Titanic, what was it you disliked?

[Lucan]

The old love trio thing as well as the romantic thing. I know that it was just a movie but there are so called facts that don't add up too. I also just don't like Leonardo di Caprio.

[BadMojo]

Aliens vs. Predator
I felt that this movie insulted my intelligence.

[Doppelbock]

Armageddon. It sucked.

It's not a very good movie, but it has entertained me very well.

i'd have to say any movie that had Reese Witherspoon in it

excpet Walk the Line

but they still could have used anybody else except her

[lordrrr]

It's impossible for me to ever fall asleep during a movie unless it is really terrible, because it's impossible for me to fall asleep generally. So here are those terrible movies:

Armageddon
Hot Fuzz
Seabiscuit


I also hate insulting movies like Cheaper By the Dozen and all that crap. Also, historical movies like Gladiator and Troy (300 is awesome though).

But... but.... what about Legally Blonde?

[Lucid]

Swordfish. I still rant about how bad that movie was, what an insult to the intelligence of the average movie goer it was (and to insult the intelligence of the average movie goer is a hard thing to manage), and how obvious the product placement was. That movie makes me want to kill bitches.

No way. Reese Witherspoon is teh yummy hawtness.

[Haphazard]

An Officer and a Gentleman.

I suppose it wasn't the movie itself but rather how it was presented to me. When I saw it, I saw it as a part of a screenwriting class, after we had learned the basic formula for Hollywood movies. And then we named how it fit every part we had discussed, one by one. The fact that it was so formulaic disgusted me by the end.

But you have to admit the fight scenes were kick butt!!!

I believe TITANIC set an all-time low for me as far as movies I hate. I can't even LOOK at "Di-Crapio" TO THIS DAY without tasting bile in the back of my throat...

And I know it's not his fault; he'd no way of knowing the movie would suck (except maybe... READING the script... perhaps...)!


The grudge... Oh my gawd.. SOMEBODY GIVE THAT PALE CHIC A RICOLLA!!!

Most recently: X-Men 3. It's an interesting creative universe, and the third film set up some compelling questions--but then completely lost sight of what it should have done starting about 20 minutes in.

I liked X-Men 3, but it's been awhile since I saw it last. What should it have done 20 minutes in? Aside from disintegrating Hugh Jackman's shirt that is.

High School Musical
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! Sorry, but there is so much tripe in that film you could feed it to a dog!
It is/has:

• unrealistic
• optimistic-happy-touchy-feely
• songs that make no sense
• encouraging people to 'stick to their groups'
• insulting to my intelligence!

[AliciaS2R]

I usually don't like slap stick humor type movies. Especially Jim Carrey movies, too much over the top for me. I do not watch "Horror" movies, the images stay with me too long.
I do like the mystery/suspense genre. Some of my favorite TV shows are CSI, Law & Order: SVU, & Numbers.

I also disliked "Titanic".

Mod Squad = 90 minutes of my life gone forever.

Sometimes A Great Notion = Great book, rotten film.

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues = Great book, rotten film.

My disappointments probably wouldn't qualify as abhorrence, but what I thought about the movie was that the first twenty minutes set up a lot of potential that wasn't fully delivered.

Particularly, the idea behind the "cure" had interesting parallels in some real-world philosophical debates--general examples: is it more important to live as naturally as possible? Is there something wrong with using technology to modify parts of yourself? etc.

Magneto held onto the goals throughout the film, but things started falling apart with the shallow introduction of Phoenix (which I remember happening around minute 20): the film began extending itself across half a dozen major story arcs from the universe (this might be an exaggeration-- the only X-Men comic book I've actually read was an old trade of the Dark Phoenix story, other arcs I thought I picked up on coincide mostly with my experience from the cartoon series & video game entries).

Basically: I think the film could have been much better had it contained itself to a scope similar to the first two movies, instead of trying to fit as much X-Men mythology in as possible (while also keeping the actual X-Men camp down to half a dozen characters somehow--seriously, what happened to Nightcrawler? He was a major player in the second film, and then they don't even mention him).

The movie was the most disappointing blockbuster-type film I've seen in a long time--but then again, I only started watching blockbuster-type films again about a year and a half ago (after avoiding them since Jurassic Park 2 or so).

I don't watch a lot of bad films . . . or, if I do, I go in knowing to expect low-quality, focusing myself on laughing at all of the mistakes as my primary source of entertainment.

There was a Japanese action film called Death Trance that I took a risk on and bought on a whim that was a bit more disappointing than X-Men 3 . . . but other than those two I can't recall a film that has left me wondering whether I had just wasted my time/money in the last several years.

Yeah, I think you're right about the story arcs... also I thought that the Phoenix was an alien life form that somehow inhabited Jean Gray?? Although it's been close to 20 years since I've seen the cartoon and even longer than that since I read an X-Men comic. So I might be mistaken.

I was disappointed by the lack of certain characters in the series as a whole (Where the hell were Jubilee and Gambit??), but the ones who were included were casted (cast?) pretty well (except that Rogue was too young). And the fact that it's been so long since I've been exposed to any "actual" X-Men mythology makes it easier to watch the movies without getting angry about what they got wrong.

I was actually similarly disappointed by The Chronicles of Riddick.

It's been close to 10 years since I had read through that one comic, so I can't really say either

And agreed with disappointments about some exceptions . . . and also that the few they put in were accurate enough to entertain, for the most part. A little exposition about Colossus would have been nice, considering he someone was part of the team in every movie without ever having a major role (yet Jubilee and Gambit, as you mention, and many others never even appeared).

Some of my closest companions in high school were die-hard comic fans, such that we made it a weekly habit of visiting a local comic store. It's been half a decade since then, but I guess there was enough of an attachment made that some of the glossing-over of things the movie did must have bothered me quite a bit more than you.

I haven't seen Riddick . . . I don't expect I will anytime soon. I'm trying to think about it, and I'm right now noticing how god-awful my knowledge of past "summer hits" as well as upcoming flicks is . . . wow.

[Solaris]

Wow, where to begin? My best friend somehow talked me into seeing that horrible spoof on 300...that was probably the worst ever, I'm not sure how she talked me into seeing that. Also, I hated X-Men 3, it was downright terrible and lost sight of any cohesion until it was a blob of bad film. Anyone ever see "Aguirre, The Wrath of God" ...that was *horrible* and I don't know how it became a "classic" film at all. The best part was the severed head counting to ten. Many Blockbuster films were letdowns. I haven't seen the 3 Pirates movie, and my trusted friends assure me this is no loss. I know I've seen other terrible movies, so I'm sure I'll be back to add to the list. I mainly try to block out what I deemed a waste of life, hoping I can put those brain cells to a better use.

I have rather low expectations of movies. In general, if I'm entertained for 2 hours or so and am not annoyed by the movie, the actors or the plot I'm happy with it.
Pitch Black was a good flick and the Chronicles video game was a lot of fun to play. But the 2nd movie was just a cookie cutter bad sci-fi movie. So many of them turn out that way and it always bothers me, because the stories themselves are often so cool. The same is true of horror movies. They're never scary. Usually their lack of dimension, crappy cheap thrills (oh god something just jumped out and made a loud noise all of a sudden!!! Oh shit, it was just the cat) just end up pissing me off.

Actually, speaking of crappy horror movies that piss me off: Any of the Saw series is right at the top of that list. Those movies makes me angry.
And everyone is just so accepting that this serial killer is in the right for torturing people to death because they didn't love their wife enough or something.
If you torture people to death, it pretty much nullifies any kind of moral judgment you make on others. Cheating on one's wife, or using drugs are pretty low on the scale of immoral things. Especially when compared to torture and killing. Thanks.

I find that many movies sequels start off well in the first one and then lose the plot in the second or third story. Anybody remember The Highlander movies? The first one he is Scottish, the second one he and Ramerez(not sure of spelling) are from another planet then in the third one they are back to being from our planet! I loved the first one and then the second one messes up the first one's plot. What were they thinking?

Jumper. UGH. I hate it. Plot holes all over the place, stupid characters, an incredibly bad story line, and little to no explanation of anything, especially the science/physics of "jumping." Waste of time AND money. I want a refund!! What's more, I had a hard time convincing a couple of my friends to see the movie with me, and the movie just disappointed... kind of embarrassing, to have to persuade people to do something they didn't want to do and have them be "right." Well, the story had some potential, but whoever took the idea and ran didn't do a very good job with the execution. Did anyone even read the script before they agreed to send it to big screens nation-wide? Geez.
