Get ready to hate me, but Inception. Cool concept, excellent visuals, and some good sequences, but I was getting bored watching it. No, I feel this too. Inception is, appropriately enough, wedged firmly up it's own ass. It's such a dull slog, but it thinks it's so god damn clever. I don't think Inception even thinks it's that clever, it just thinks its 'epic.' What depresses me is people thinking it's clever. Like, the visual effects are clever, sure - the corridor thing is one of my favourite scenes in movies, even though I'm not that arsed about Inception itself. But... it's really not that clever. Dreams within dreams, time gets slower within those dreams, do that too many times and you might be gone forever. It's... not exactly subtle. |

Blade Runner. Every time I tried to watch it I either drifted off or fell asleep.

I kinda feel that. I'd say Return of the King was the most boring and Two Towers was the least of the three. I watched all 3 extended editions in a marathon at the theater. I just can't get behind the notion of those movies being boring whatsoever. More entertaining than reading them, I'll tell ya that much. I don't even think I got 100 pages into Fellowship before giving up. |

Yeah, I saw the first two Lord of the Rings films in the theater, dozed off somewhere in the middle of each, and when I woke up felt like I missed absolutely nothing. Didn't even bother with the third.

Go ahead, call me Peter Griffin, but I never like the Godfather So you mean to tell me that the Godfather is an overrated movie, just like Elf starring Will Farrell? To this topic: pretty much any "Hollywood story" premiated movie. Also musicals. Find both of those dreadfully boring. And District 9. God, that was boringly awful for something that tries to be everything udner the sun. |

Lord of the Rings is one of those books I habitually read once every couple of years, and one of my audiobook standbys for long shifts at work, but it definitely has a lot of filler. And the songs, my god, the songs. Oddly enough, as many times as I can read LOTR, I have no patience for The Hobbit. |

Anything associated with Harry Potter, Tarantino, Peter Jackson, or Tim Burton after Batman.
Also, The Lovely Bones is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Elaine summed up my feelings on The English Patient perfectly: And this was also my reaction to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Came in to mention that. I didn't see the movie ever, but consider me Vince in agreeing with Elaine's taste in movies.  |

The Thin Red Line. I was so bored with that movie that I got up to go to the bathroom multiple times. Then again, this was in the wake of Saving Private Ryan. Maybe down the road, or soon, I might give it a re-watch, but when I saw it in theaters, I was bored out of my mind.

Goodfellas. Yep, that's right. I didn't care for it. Whadaya want? This is my favorite movie. And not to be "that guy", but reading the book helps. Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi. They go way more into certain scenes and you see that they literally took dialogue from the book for the script, which Pileggi co-wrote. Henry Hill even said they got it like 95% right, especially with Joe Pesci playing Tommy DeSimone. Dude was a lunatic and was probably gonna get murdered by one of his own people anyways for the shit he pulled. |

Terrence Malick has never made a remotely watchable movie.

We were playing this film as part of our Flashback Cinema at work of classics on the big screen. People who have seen the film said it literally makes no sense at all. The only Stanley Kubrick films I've seen are The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut. I just happened to walk in on Space Odyssey and saw a circle of apes doing whatever, then the next scene was a leopard/cheetah or whatever it was with a zebra. Upon standing there I realized that even the brief seconds I saw it didn't make any sense. The book is much more clear than the Kubrick movie, which took a more abstract direction especially in the beginning and the end. There is actually a sequel movie that is pretty good! It is more conventional, and stars Roy Scheider. "2010: The Year We Make Contact" love both movies and wish 2010 was released on bluray in the uk, i'd snap it up quick shhh, don't mention STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE here i think i mentioned it, but i got away with it ..... btw i ADORE ST:tMP and i will fite anyone who says otherwise ..... SCREW WRATH OF KHAN  {Spoiler}not really recent ones ..... A WRINKLE IN TIME and THE PREDATOR in different ways |

Add me to the Lord of the Rings queue. I saw it in a cinema and realised at one point I'd totally checked out of a battle sequence to admire the landscape it was set on instead.
It made me want to go to New Zealand, and also under no circumstances to see the sequels.
