Having watched Skyline yesterday and being a tad disappointed by what could easily have been a great film (if they had included a story, likeable characters and a different ending) I was wondering what films you've been bitterly disappointed by or would warn people off entirely?
Sticking with Sci-fi, 2012 is the most recent one to spring to mind. I felt as if a portion of my life had been ripped away from me after watching that. Battlefield Earth is a film I just couldn't sit through until the end, and that rarely happens to me. Lastly, Highlander II was a bitter disappointment considering how good the first film was and luckily the 3rd fared much better.
Outside of Sci-fi, Disaster Movie or any one of the more recent 'spoof' movies could well be considered too terrible to watch.

Starship Troopers 2, and then 3........ in that order.
Burn After Reading, just dreadful. In the very last scene, one of the secret service officials basically looks over everything that's happened, somewhat confused and just shrugs his shoulders. That was my reaction too.
X-Men. All of them. Annoyed me, annoyed me, annoyed me. Even Hugh Jackman as a convincing Wolverine didn't make up for my disappointment.

That reminds me: Fantastic Four. Spent so long on the back history that the makers seemed to forget that a Super-hero film needs action until the last minute.

Lost in Space (remake), Planet of the Apes (remake), The Time Machine (remake). Can anyone think of a remake that was better than the original?
Fantastic 4 wasnt great but much better than Catwoman and Elektra guys. On a related note why are they rebooting Spider-Man? Everyone should know the story by now.

Haven't seen the remake of Bad Lieutenant but seeing the original was probably the worst film I have ever sat through the remake wouldn't have to try that hard to beat it.
Thought Zack Snyders 2004 remake of Dawn Of The Dead was very good,thought he did a good job of updating it for the MTV generation.
Also thought Matt Reeves Let Me In (remake of Swedish film Let The Right One In) was on a par with the excellent original.Which lets be honest,no one was expecting.There's a very good review of the film over on AVF if anyone's interested.
Anyway,hows everything going Machie San ?

I remember watching a film called Sabrina (not the witch). It lasted for hours and was really awful, pointless and boring!
