have to agree here too.... some overhyped films are a sad disappointment. I must be sad but Ive never watched any of the Star Wars films.. saw wee bits of one but not my thing, or maybe I didnt give them a chance..

Oh no! Give them a chance! Just for Harrison Ford alone.

I assume you mean the farce with Nicole Kidman. The original Moulin Rouge, (1952) starring Jose Ferrer is a beautiful character study of the French artist Toulouse-Lautrec.

For me, I'd take a refund for Harriet the Spy except I didn't really "see" it. I took my granddaughter (she picked it) and I fell asleep about 10 minutes in.

Escape from LA. I thought it was going to be as good as Escape From NY and it was awful. Walked out halfway through.

Magic Mike...I just found it so boring and far too long; I actually left the theatre before it was over.

Wow, so much hate for the Blair Witch Project. I confess, I love that movie.
Anyway, the last movie I saw at the theater was The Conjuring and I thought it was a stinker. It was so stupid that I was trying not to laugh watching it.

I so hated Clockwork Orange; had to wait in the lobby while my ex finished (and enjoyed) watching it.

Yes, I am old!

Agree on Transformers and Blair Witch, too!

I don't remember the title, it came out in 96 or 97. Steven Seagal on an oil rig. Terrible movie. We were pregnant, it was winter, and we were desperate to get out of the house. My husband enjoys the martial arts so I sat through it.
