DarthSion Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Lol, people get too easily offended. Surprising to see you agree with me, but yeah knight and day seemed like a cheap knock off of the bond series, but not in a good way like get smart. Oh and shrek 4, yeah I just had to see what happened.
YG-49 Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 I nominate Skyline for an unseeification. It was the first movie I really felt like walking out of. And the plot twist at the end was terrible.
DarthSion Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Damn that looked ok. I have another one, but well its summed up by the fact I forgot the name, but that one that came out not that long ago, it was a guy who was a photographer and he was trying to help this pretty blonde get out of Mexico where aliens had landed. Horrible story, poor pacing, poor acting, all the alien stuff was at night so you could not see jack.
Tobbe Arnesson Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 If I had endured for more then ten minutes I would probably name White Chicks here, but i didn't. First movie I have turned off due to crapiness.
Forresto Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 I'm not if sure if this would count since it's a special but....and I can't believe i'm saying this about anything of the Star Wars franchise. The Star Wars Christmas special. George Lucas will always have an ally in his quest to hunt down and burn every copy of that garbage. Scary Movie 1 & 2: I watched the begining of the second movie nad I could'nt stand that bathroom scene which was ridiculous. I had to stop that and I tried the first one. Then that scene where (from scream 2: the knife bathroom scene) has the guy stabbed in the head by a male's genitals, made me stop watching any of the scary movies. Both movies were badly written and not funny in the slightest.
Stegoceras Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 I'd say 'The Promise(2005)', I recall going 'wtf,.... was that all about?!?' in the end. Don't ever waste 128 minutes of your life watching that. Even trying to summarize the story to tell someone is confusing as hell,... I know, tried it once.
Batbrick Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Sigh. This thread is like boomerang; just when you thought you got rid of it, it comes back around to hit you in the face again. Ironically, it was revived by an Aussie. (no offense) How is that ironic? Yeah, Pixar Disney ect. have all downgraded from their good ol' days. Disagreed. Anyway, movie I can't unsee is Mirrors, one of the bad "Horror films with no horror" that my sister hired out, because she wants to watch a scary movie that doesn't scare her (Yeah I don't get it either).
user Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Uggg.... I'd like to unsee paranormal activity. Just a terrible movie, there was almost no storyline, they tried to use special effects at the end that just made it seem cheesy and they tried to pass it off as a true story even though there's an alternate ending and a sequel.
SilentMode Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Some movies that spring to mind... 2012 - what a waste of time and money: the kindest, least colourful thing I can say about that movie. X-Men and X-Men 2 - ruined by being way too cheesy. The Fourth Kind - also a waste of time and money. Just take a regular movie, add some random white noise and loud sounds, and you have the same film. Scary Movie 3 and 4, and all the other parody movies that followed. Mission Impossible 3 - the first two movies were great, but I absolutely can't stand it when someone tries to put action heroes/spies and committed relationships together.
Forresto Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I think it's funny that so many people are saying they would like to unsee 2012. To me it was so obviously going to be a bad, cheesy film from the trailers that it's funny people actually are complaining about seeing it. My friends me went to see it knowing it was going to be bad and actually really enjoyed it. To me it's a fun, enjoyable, popcorn movie with some really good special effects. I just say you should blame yourselves for going to see a movie you didn't think was good. Some films you just need to learn how to enjoy for what it is. Speaking of which a film would want to unsee that looked decent was Tim Burton's Alice and Wonderland.
SilentMode Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I just say you should blame yourselves for going to see a movie you didn't think was good. ... No. Another movie I really wish I could unsee is Basic Instinct 2, for reasons best not mentioned here. One movie I did effectively unsee was the more recent Death at a Funeral: the first movie I've ever walked out of at the cinema.
def Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 X-Men and X-Men 2 - ruined by being way too cheesy. Strange, I thought those were the reasonable ones. The third one, plus the Wolverine movie were borderline unwatchable.
XimenaPaulina Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Unwatchable you say? Try this: I've had the extreme displeasure of watching this movie in the cinema. An hour and a half wasted from my life.
Bendybadger Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Anyway, movie I can't unsee is Mirrors, one of the bad "Horror films with no horror" that my sister hired out, because she wants to watch a scary movie that doesn't scare her (Yeah I don't get it either). You'll be glad to know they made a sequel imaginatively titled Mirrors 2 (as if the first wasn't bad enough) Poke your eyes out now with spoons as it will be less painful than watching the second part. For me any film with the Danny Dyer in (British "Actor") would make me reach for the remote. Even the sound of his voice makes me want to stare at a strobe light whilst listening to drum and bass to eradicate the drivel that comes forth from his being. <and breathe>
simonjedi Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) I've had the extreme displeasure of watching this movie in the cinema. An hour and a half wasted from my life. Honestly, it stars PARIS HILTON, what did you expect? Edited November 26, 2010 by simonjedi
XimenaPaulina Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Honestly, it stars PARIS HILTON, what did you expect? I know, it was not my decision, but the girlfriend's.
allanp Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 There are a few, but one movie I considered actually walking out of was Skyline. It was just terrible!
Batbrick Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Twilight. You have my deepest condolences. Batbrick Away!
-zenn Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 You have my deepest condolences. Batbrick Away! I did it for my gf, but never again; it was a teengirl infested cinema screaming everytime they saw that wolf boy. I'm scarred for life...
Jargo Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Anything that comes from Hollywood is complete and utter pants. same old same old constantly regurgitated. There hasn't been a decent movie since the 1970's. everything since has just been generic formulaic nonsense.

I see you're wearing a pair of these - Batbrick dislikes sweeping generalisations sweeping 30 years!
Jargo Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Ha! You have to admit that a lot of movies in recent years are reguritated pap or have the substance of a wet paper bag. I sat through the twilight movies the other night (under duress) and my brain almost dissolved. Truly abysmal. I really wish there were a movement to oust turgid effects driven movies and replace them with thought provoking character and dialogue driven movies. Perhaps not the dour Oliver Stone type of movie, but unless you actively hunt out independent movies the constant deluge of Hollywood rubbish really does melt the mind. James Cameron's Ferngully remake Avatar is a prime example of the rubbish being churned out. And the fact that audiences have been dumbed down so far they'll accept such rubbish as the norm is just depressing.

And the fact that audiences have been dumbed down so far they'll accept such rubbish as the norm is just depressing. It's not like the studio system ever aimed to make good movies. The people paying, the studio bosses, have never wanted them. They just wanted to fill seats. Great movies were made in spite of the system, not because of it. I'd give examples, but this is a bad movie topic. (I can't resist. Here's one example, Rescue Dawn. A remarkable product of the Hollywood system, starring Batman himself.) I'm with you on Avatar, it's a piece of crap, that's only gotten crapper the more accolades that were heaped on it. Same with Oliver Stone though. His movies are so obvious that they may have been written by a high schooler. I turned Platoon off half way in, it was so transparent in its stereotypes and direction. At best, a few of his films were watchable. The Doors is watchable but trashy, JFK a comedy, and W a two hour SNL sketch. I don't think he's considered a respected filmmaker anymore though, his reputation petered out over the 90's. Only a minority of films are worth repeat watching, but it seems that way all over the world, since the start of film's history. I've sat through some contemporary Japanese films, and most of them were mediocre at best.
