Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 What films were so f*cking awful that you'll never bother watching them again?A few that made my list...ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002) -- I made my mother take me to this following my birthday. That poor lady. Even when I was 12, I could tell that she couldn't stand being there.300 (2006) -- Just one of those films that really doesn't require a second viewing. I watched it because of all the hype surrounding it and found it to be a steaming turd, just like most of Snyder's films.SPIDERMAN (2002) -- Boring trash.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 300 was a riot.It's a personal taste thing mostly. For the record I loved Sin City. It's just as depraved but it has interesting characters and a fantastic film noir atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 This thread is pointless to me because I can't rewatch 99,9 % of the movies I've seen. The opposite question, 'Which movies can you watch over and over again?', would make a lot more sense to me. In fact, 300 is one of the few movies that I can actually watch again. The second time was even a lot better than the first. In terms of visual storytelling, this movie is off the scale. Maybe the thread is more about movies you hate?

crocodile 8,000 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The Forgotten from 2004, starring Julianne Moore and scored by Horner. Absolutely abysmal, nonsensical and tedious. I went to see it with my friends and it marks probably the only time ever that I started to comment on it aloud in the cinema. Ironically, no one seemed to mind.

Jay 37,346 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 There is no film that I will never watch again, period. I mean, there are surely plenty of films I've seen that I never will again, just because we only have so much time on this planet and there are so many films I've never seen before waiting to be watched, on top of new ones being made all the time.But there is no film I would actively refuse to watch no matter what. Any shitty movie I saw in the past could come on in a hotel room on some business trip and I'd watch it if nothing else was on, or I'd be at a friend's house who wanted to watch it, or whatever.Even the worst movie have SOMETHING worthwhile - a good performance, a good score, some interesting idea, who knows.
