Sweeping Strings 2,345 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 It was admittedly more like half-an-hour to 45 minutes, but ... the original Red Dawn. Terrible film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about crickets, but a certain 'Kockroach' seemed to like it. Another couple I have never made it through more than about half-an-hour of ... Superman IV (Cannon clearly thought they could do it on the cheap ... erm, no) and the '67 spoof version of Casino Royale (a chaotic production doesn't always show in the finished film, but it does here).

TSMefford 1,509 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Alright, rant time. I have never and will never do this. I have no right to talk trash about a film I have not seen. Too often is the line "I couldn't get through five minutes of it" used as an excuse to lend credence to saying that a film is bad. Bullshit. You can't say it's bad if you haven't seen the whole damn thing. It's one thing if the film is clearly not your thing and you can tell from the beginning, but that doesn't make it bad. *rant over* All that being said, there are several movies I wish I did turn off/walk out of after 5 minutes, but I had no idea how bad they would be: Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Theatrical and Ultimate Edition) - This one is probably still the worst big budget movie I've ever seen. Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist The Circle The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Geostorm Death Note (Netflix Version) Lost River Just a few, but I have actually seen them all the way through. Just wish I had not. Lol. Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I found myself falling asleep to Scorsese's The Aviator. Transylmania was one I turned off five minutes in... it was aggressively NOT funny. I dare you guys to sit through more than 10 minutes of that dreck. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was a film I tapped out of 10 minutes in. A generic buddy comedy reunion with Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart? It didn't work and I was getting bored.

Tarantino's style doesn't work for me. He rips off filmmakers who are better than him (like Kurosawa), he dresses them up with snappy dialogue and bloody violence, and manages to convince Hollywood stars that he's the bees knees. Maybe if he gets that Star Trek movie in production, I'll see that. That might be crazy enough to work. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
