First of all, I don't see how anyone can think of SIDEWAYS as an overrated movie. I see it as sort of a GARDEN STATE for an older audience, and the humor, the characters and the general attitude of it is something anyone can love. Besides, how can you not like Paul Giamatti breaking into a strangers house to retrive evidence of his friends infidelity only to be chasen by a fat naked guy out of the house.
For me, the absolute worst movie I've seen. The one in which I use as my litmus test for when I see something that's been proclaimed as the worst movie ever is, of all things, a sci-fi western. I am of course talking about the greatest example of excess mixed with utter contempt for an audience ever filmed, WILD WILD WEST. I can think of no redeeming qualities whatsoever and I can't imagine anyone taking this movie seriously.
As for flicks that I was chomping at the bit to see but ended up dissapointed, MEN IN BLACK 2 and THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN. Big fan of the comics, thought it was an ingenious idea and excited to see Sean Connery as Allan Quatermaine, but boy did they ever fuck that up. Maybe Alan Moore is a little more tougher to translate to the big screen than Frank Miller.

I never go to the theater anymore...to pricey for the crao they're showing.
I rent everything.
I fell asleep once...Titanic. Sorry if you liked it. It was long and dark blue and the fiftieth Titanic movie I'd seen.

Whoops! My wife reminded me of one, Dancer in the Dark. A movie that was so depressing, it would have been much better if they had just shown cute puppies getting shot for two hours straight. Worse yet, I talked my wife and best friend into seeing it. I'm still apologizing!

SPACE TRUCKERS...AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
if you haven't seen it dont look for it the love of god save your sanity.
It never had a story it went nowhere,
ok first they meet in a space truck stop then they get captured by some strange people then they get free then they go to a hospital to find some ones mother then the end. With such actors as steven dorff and denis hopper(they sucked big time)
whats wrong with the film
1.horrible special effects( there's a scene were denis hits some one and he flys through space let me just tell you YOU CAN SEE THE WIRE.
2. the story never gose anywhere
3. the actors were terrible
4. very bad set(it lookes like they made the movie
in their basement)
and 5. it made me give up hope for two months
so please DONT WATCH IT

Did some research and it turns out that most of my biggest disappointments have come from stand-up comedians or sketch comedians whose work I admired and I was really looking forward to what they were going to do in film.
Stuff like:
Pennies from Heaven (and I knew it wasn't a comedy but I thought it just didn't work)
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
Strange Brew
JoJo Dancer, You're Life is Calling (again, I knew it wasn't a comedy I just thought it was bad)
Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy
The Saphead
Other movies I had high hopes for or seemed like something I'd really like or heard a lot of good stuff about but ended up being disappointed by (but not hating):
Batman (genuinely "pumped up" about this one. Didn't like it-didn't hate it)
Superman
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The Shining
Blade Runner
Speed
True Lies
The Phantom Menace (okay, I pretty much hated it, but Lucas' going back and changing the original three made me wary so I wasn't "pumped up")
Man on the Moon
Gladiator
The Powerpuff Girls Movie (what can I say, I love the cartoon)
Then there's this other category of movies that one who knew me would think I would like but for whatever reason didn't have high expectations for and I was right. But I won't get into that.

Wow, Sounds like I dodged quite a few bullets with many of the movies listed here. Most of them I missed. Wild Wild West was very bad. Battlefield Earth I saw for free on video and still felt ripped off. Though maybe if you turned the sound off and made up your own dialog.....na.
But to answer the question, I was excited, pumped up, cause the first one still makes my favourites list, but Crow 2: city of angels. Crap. That's my friends Litmus test. After any bad movie, "well, it wasn't Crow 2 bad." or "wow that was worst than Crow 2."
Great cinematography, dark, moody, very nice.
Script/acting= oh how bad.
English Patient was horrible.

8-Legged Freaks. Wasn't "pumped" because I knew it would suck. It was cheese. It was meant as cheese.
Hero. Only because I was expecting "Iron Monkey" and got "Crouching Tiger". It was a good movie, but not when I was expecting chop-saki.

My Dinner with Andre: only movie I've walked out on of my own volition. Absolutely nothing happens in the first two hours.
Chicago: only movie I can recall falling asleep in @the cinema
Passion of the Christ: made me by far the most angry @the filmmaker, much more so than Episode 1. It's in Aramaic, which is an irritating directorial affectation, & was rumoured to be violent. That is misleading; it is the most brutal movie I've ever seen. It contains a scene of non-stop torture that's over ten minutes long. If that doesn't seem too long to you, I suspect you haven't watched torture for ten minutes.
Keep the Shiny Side Up . . . (wutzon) Mick Jagger & Sheryl Crow, "Old Habits Die Hard", from "Alfie" soundtrack

Count yourself lucky you only had to see it once. My tutor is making us see it over and over again so we can analyse it for class.
Whichever dude said Se7en, I agree. The only film I would have walked out on had I not been staying at friends.
I really should get me a signature

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST wasn't made to win awards it was made to show what he went through and how we take him for granted.
I swear every time I hear that it was too dramatic I feel like punching a hole in a wall.
the film was very accurate to what really happend thats what he went throgh that what happened so accept it of just let it go
