ET

Lord of the Rings - 1st one gave up half way though

English Patient

 

[Gwylan]

Don't know if it's classed as great but the remake of War of the Worlds was complete pony.

Every "modern" remake is pony. Always.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Titanic (snore)

 

[jonny.rainbow]

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Shite beyone belief.

How could they possibly make such a fantastic book into such a steaming pile of wank.

I liked it.

I agree it was terrible. The books were good, the BBC series fantastic, then Hollywood got near it and screwed it up.

Yeah, but the remake of the WOTW was directed by Spielberg, you'd think it would be good.

 

[Nemesis]

You mean like The Pink Panther?

I was thinking Get Carter, The Italian Job, Psycho. I didn't even know they'd done the Pink Panther.

Except Ocean's Eleven. Fact.




But on the original subject:

All three LOTR, Forrest Gump, the new War the Worlds...

 

[desprateseagull]

didnt even bother seeing any of the the lotr, and harry potter ones - the books alone were too long winded..


the 'new' italian job was ok, but not a patch on the ORIGINAL, and BEST version.

same with Ocean's 11. entertaining, but the brat pack did it best.

tell you what i could not agree more mate. in fact the television series was better than the movie

 

[REDLAND]

Judge Dread, absolute dog shit, I was gutted to the core !!!

 

[Easy 10]

The Departed.

Scorcese and Nicholson, gangster movie, widespread rave reviews...I went to the cinema CONVINCED I was going to see a classic. I left hugely disappointed.

Average at best.

Praise the Lord, another human being that thinks LOTR is a load of old crap.

I was beginning to think I was alone. Fell asleep three times trying to sit through the first one, and certainly haven't bothered with the rest.

Now what SHALL I do when The Hobbit comes out? I think I'm washing my hair that night...

 

[London Irish]

I know saying this is like the equivalent of anally raping any cinephile, but I was bored stiff by Citizen Kane.

 

[Skint Gull]

I'm with Easy on this one, very dissapointing film.

Also got bored shitless with the Matrix, although seeing as i love LOTR trilogy I guess its just a matter of taste

I'm with you on that.

Vastly over-rated, over-long drivel in my personal view.
