Disappointing Movies

[The Mask]

I honestly do not understand the hate for the Star Wars prequels, I hate Jar Jar but that's about it

The Percy Jackson movies

^^^
Wise words.

[Cornflower MM]

Personally I didn't like the Narnia movies (They Stunk) and Percy Jackson #1!

  I enjoyed The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but yeah, the other two weren't very good, in my opinion.  The second one was kinda boring, and the third was like, "...Did they even read the book?"  And yeah, I thought The Lightning Thief was good till I read the book.  Then: "...Did they even read the book?"  Kinda the same for the second film.  I've only seen it once, and that was when it was in theatres, so I may not remember it correctly.  (And I haven't read the book for such a long time, so I don't really remember what happened in the book.)  I think it was a teeny bit closer to the book, but still, it wasn't all that great.

You took the wordsoutta my mouth, Rain! *Holds up hand for high five*

Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix As a big fan of the Harry Potter world I can honestly say that movie was incredibly bad, not even leaving the original story bad, it was just bad.

As someone who views the HP series as okay (But not brilliant as so many people do, no offense meant Sandy) I have to agree.

Oh, and the first Hobbit movie. *Sigh* I only got halfway through it, and I'm thinking, 'Okay. How much longer can they battle and kill the Orc people?' Five minutes later. . . . 'This is overdone. Oh, LOVELY shot of someone being beheaded! Oooh, maybe they're escaping now!' Ten minutes later. . . . 'Dang it, they're going into battle AGAIN?! Is this necessary?!'
Part of my train of thought all through the half of the movie I've seen. And I was really disappointed by the way the dwarfs are introduced - SO much better in the book. One of my favorite parts, actually. But I did like the way the dwarfs cleaned up in the movie. . . . . That and the handkerchief thing.

Sure. The Percy Jackson... Well, they were just weird. The Hobbit(s) were way too violent and also a bit plotless, the Narnia movies were boring, Frozen is overhyped... Don't they make good movies anymore?

[The Skarzs]

They are running out of ideas.

[Izeroth]

 They aren't running out of ideas; they're just recycling the same stupid plot guidelines. For instance: what if, I don't know, Disney made a major movie that wasn't about a princess? Blasphemy!

I'm starting to agree. . . . Although, Brave and Tangled were good. Lemme rephrase that - Tangled was awesome! Brave was pretty dang good.

It might've been before your time, but they've made at least one major film that wasn't about princesses. I think it had something to do with big cats. I heard it did okay at the box office. It seemed like it got decent reviews, too.

Mockingjay was somewhat disappointing. They didn't have to make the last book into two movies.

 Unfortunately, it seems all the major book-to-movie finals have been divided into two parts recently. Despite why they say, I'm sure they could keep it in one piece if they tried. As usual, it's about the money.

While the money is probably a motivating factor, I don't think criticizing them over this is very fair. Making a film out of a book normally entails cutting more than half of the material out of the story. Making two or more films allows them to fit more of the book's material in.

If they did try to squeeze everything into just one film, the same critics that are complaining now about multi-part films would still be there, complaining that they shouldn't have made a movie that was so unfaithful to the books, and saying it would've been better to split it up into more than one part if that's what it took to tell the story. You can't have it both ways.

All the Hunger Games movies were disappointing. I don't like the books either, maybe it's just me 

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Anyone who watched the new Night at the Museum or Seventh Son here? I'm thinking of seeing them in theatres.

[Cornflower MM]

Hey, there's a third Night at the Museum? Awesome! (First 'un was better, but I like them both)

[MeadowR]

  Eragon.  I don't even wanna talk about it.  I just... ugh.  I mean, I thought it was a cool film before I read the book, but afterwards?  *Shudders*

Yeah! They made a right dogs' dinner of Eragon. Changed way too much. But even watching it as a film of its own without thinking too much on the book, I found it pretty boring. One of the few DVDs I've owned that I have carboot saled.

[Eulaliaaa!]

I don't think the new Night at the Museum will be good. Movies tend to be bad after the first one, I doubt this'll be worth watching.
