Serenity - Why-oh-fucking-why did anybody give that muppet a movie budget.
Terminator - Formulaic slasher rubbish.
Terminator 2 - Yet more formulaic slasher rubbish, but this time Arnie can be an underdog hero.
Underworld - I went to see this film expecting nothing, and that's what it delivered.
Funny enough I agree, though I would say that UI hated serenity as it was just purley cheesy formulaic rubbish that was about as originall and entertaining as buffy the vampire series ie, not very

Ultraviolet. Cannot even be saved by Milla Jovovich's naked ass. It's that ludicrously bad.
QFT. They even manage to ruin the fight scenes.

Any film in which the protagonists/good guys have all the power in the world, are invincible, and have absolutely no chance of failure.
EG. Superman returns.
I mean, that film was so ridiculously dire... All he ever did was lift things and make "Oh god this is heavy" faces.
"Oh, my god! that aeroplane is falling out of the sky."
"Don't worry, I'll lift it."
"Oh, my god! This ship is sinking, and we're stuck inside!"
"Don't worry, I'll lift it."
"Oh, my god! the daily planet sign is about to fall on top of me!"
"Don't worry, I'll lift it."
"Oh, my god, an island the size of Scotland just appeared in the middle of the atlantic"
"Don't worry, I'll lift it."
Other than that, he'd occasionally stand arrogantly while people shot at him. And then, at the end, you've got the whole "Oh my god, he's dead, but not really" sleeping-beauty thing that you used to only ever see in really bad cop movies.
Why the critics liked that movie, I have absolutely no idea.
(Completely new to the LARP scene. Take anything I say with a pinch of salt.)
(It's pronounced Ee-neck.)

| Epic movie sucked pretty badly, but the Spartan one was absolutely shite- it was a one trick pony that'd forgotten it's trick, been sent to the knackers yard, turned into dog food,eaten by a big dog and then deposited onto a childrens playground.

Recently the worse thing I've seen had to be Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, now I like the Indy films andI'll normally defend them to the hilt, but the Monkeys aggh the Monkeys... my eyes! my eyes!
I think the incident with the fridge spoiled that film for me.
Don't hug me I'm British, we only show affection to dogs and horses.

| Nearly every film that has been mentioned so far has at least some semblance of a redeeming feature. This one doesn't. It's Sean of the Dead... not a zombie to be seen, it was billed as starring Simon Pegg and Nick Price, did I see either of them throughout the entire film, no, did I buggery. Was it the comedy classic I thought it was going to be? No, not a single bit of fun or japery that could remotely be described as comedy. How a film which seemed to centre around a Hemingway wannabe teaming up with a submarine captain, Dr Jekyll and the invisible man to thwart a global plot can be described as a romantic comedy featuring zombies is beyond me! Maybe I was watching a different film to everyone else, but what I saw was not the new yardstick for British comedy featuring a glittering array of comedy genius.

Are you sure you didn't have a different film in the box- what you described sounds more like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen(ish), it's pretty hard to miss Simon Pegg or the Zombies in Sean of the Dead

I have only ever walked out of one film in the cinema, and I hadn't paid to see it - it was part of my degree. "Dancer in the Dark" - screw that! Even though I knew I had to write an essay about it, even though I knew that essay was a critical part of the module, even though I knew that the film was the personal favourite of my favourite lecturer - hell, NO!
Admittedly, I tend to piss people off with my taste in film and TV - I was officially known as "the girl who likes bad films" amongst my fellow students and the faculty. By bad, they didn't mean the cute silly films - they were referring to my star essays being about such gems as "Pearl Harbor", the entire Disney repertoire, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" and so on. I was the one who got told that of 300+ students, I stood the best chance of selling my first ever script - to Disney. Damn, the other students hated me.
