Films you started to watch...

[zombie no.one]

...but then switched off in disgust. (Im only talking about films you've rented/bought/seen in a cinema (i.e. paid to watch in some form), not just surfing on tv because that doesn't count)

I've just switched off TIMBER FALLS after being told it was good and buying the DVD. christ, yet another unoriginal new horror that could have all its characters and scenes replaced with pretty much any other unoriginal new horror...so unoriginal, I don't care how it ends or what happens to the characters. help me feel less bad by posting some times this has happened to you guys..........

Rocky V.

Ive never seen a single Rocky to be honest. Ill remember to steer especialy clear of that one then...

As painful as it may seem, even if I turn a movie off I always go back and finish it later.  Sometimes, I'll watch a movie in 3 or 4 small increments over a period of a week or more.  My most recent effort is CONQUEST (1983), a horrible, boring Lucio Fulci sword-and-sorcery movie.  I've already sat through 2 segments of it and I have about 40 minutes to go.  The entire movie is headache-inducing.  It uses hazy, foggy cinematography that's really difficult to watch and extremely annoying.  But I'll get to the end of it one way or another . . .

I know what you mean, I think this is the first time Ive ever bought something and decided not to finish it...hence the thread really. talking of Fulci I bought THE RED MONKS about a month ago and that was a real struggle, It got so tedious, but I did finish it.

Reign of Fire

Well actually, I managed to sit through it once when I was completely obsessed with dragons, but every other time...

[asimpson2006]

Underground comedy movie - after the first 20 minutes, I promptly took the DVD out of the DVD player and put it away never to watch it again.

Borat - Watched the first 20 minutes and then took the DVD out and sold it off.

Spice World...though I may take it on again for review purposes.

I thought it was alright.
But some of the cameos, I'm guessing, Americans won't get.

[Wag]

Phantasm IV (which is a shame cos the Phantasm Sphere case is ace)
Epic Movie
Aliens (tried to watch the directors cut on Boxing Day but didn't make it to the end)
What Lies Beneath (I fell asleep watching this at the cinema and wasn't even tired)
Freddy Vs Jason (I bough this cheap, have watched it and forgotten about it so thought I would watch it again when I got it back from a friend who borrowed it. Silly me)
The Fellowship Of The Rings (this just doesn't stand up to repeated viewings for me)
Apocalypto (or whateve it's called)
Somersault
The Killing Floor
Prey


There's probably more.

I Remember Renting The Movie THE ISLAND Cause It Sounded Really Good
I Watched It For About Thirty Minutes Before Turning It Off

Ewan McGregor And Scarlett Johansson Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves For This Movie!

I've Heard So Many Good Things About Michael Bay's Movies , But After Seeing This
I Know None Of It Is True

Star Wars- Really quite dull in the first twenty minutes or so.  Couldn't finish it.
Big Money Hustlas- Really, any movie starring The Insane Clown Posse is doomed to fail.
Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom- George Lucas's work doesn't really appeal to me.
Lord of The Rings- Mess of a movie from what I did watch.  Swore not to watch the sequels as a result.

yeah I suppose they're classed as "must see" movies but I agree they're overrated, only seen each of those once I think...but at the same time I could probably sit through them again

yeh cheers for the replies, in general. I feel a bit better now   

btw if anyone has actually walked out of a cinema during a film, tell about it.........

You heard GOOD things about Michael Bay films?  Really? I mean, like, you know, from somewhere other than, like, the food court at the mall?  Not a shot at you, but at the bubbleheads that would like his...why am I even talking about Michael Bay?

"The Island" was a blatant rip-off of "Parts: The Clonus Horror" so I'd recommend watching that.  It is a bit cheese, but much, much better overall, in my opinion.
