#1 Matrix sequals-I mean who didn't see that coming?
#2 The Lord of The Rings-I fell alseep. Also I saw the first one twice in one week. Too much too soon and it wasn't that good.
#3-Cant think of the thrid most disapointing. I can only rember screaming you B#####ds at the screen at the end of reloaded. I was basically living out of reach of technology so I didn't know about the trilogy thing. No one kill me for not liking Lord of the rings. However for a fun slightly naughty spoof try The Lord Of the G-Strings. Misty Mundae is just so much fun.

Are you kidding me!?

You actually saw the movie? I couldn't stand 10 minutes, and I just walked away(I didn't go see it in theaters, my brother was watching it and I just decided that no, no I will not watch this).

I think I stopped watching it at the part with the animated cat dancing...which was in the opening credits...

As for my 3:
1)Saw 2 - Dreadful, nothing but mindless gore, and too many characters
2)Star Trek Nemesis - Young Picard clone!? WTF!?
3)Alien 3 - I would also have said Aliens 4, but in my mind that movie never got made.

1. Kill Bill, I guess I expected more from ol' Quentin and also Uma had her moments in Pulp Fiction but thats as much as I can take

2. Episode 1, wtf this one was just a total blow to the whole galaxy, looked like a "queer eye" makeover with soap opera dialogue and personalities like Jar-Jar. In fact ep 1-3 could be cut down to maybe 1 decent movie.

3. Alexander, wow they really blew it with this one

and there are plenty more..

Lord of the Rings? Which one?
That was a seriously good set of movies. Yes, they were long, a little overdone, but that was Peter Jackson being true to the nature of the books. I thought LOTR was very high up there with books made into movies, above Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (not great, but I really like how they diverged from the plot and kept the same silly atmosphere), and with I, Robot and Last of the Mohicans.

Side note, just because I want to.
I really think I, Robot is the best adaptation of a book. If you haven't read it, I, Robot is a series of short stories detailing unexpected protocal from new, untested robots. The movie took the I, Robot world (with one notable exception of having robots on earth) and wrote another story, longer and more dramatic, that would fit perfectly in with the other stories.

Napolean Dynamite---*Gosh*

Flight Plan--I kept waiting for it to actually get good, and it never did. And I carried such a torch...

Damnation Alley--anyone remember this?

There's no place I can be since I found serenity.

oh, ya..... I forgot to say how much I just don't like Napoleon Dynamite, Alexander, Pulp Fiction, Resident Evil 2, and Spider-Man. I so much wanted to like all of these movies (except Napoleon-I just had to see what the fuss was about. It turns out there was none. It sucked. Incredibly. That and Date Movie have to be THE worst movies EVER).

I've never been a fan of Tarantino's work, but I do admire his work ethic. He does what he wants, when he wants, and makes the kind of movies he likes.

Once Upon A Time in Mexico was disappointing. I didn't hate it, I just thought there would be more to it. Like Salma Hayek and explosions.

Wow I forgot aobut Starship Troopers, and then they made a sequel that was much worse.

I never looked forward to Battlefield Earth and while The Stand was not great, I thought it was one of the best king book to tv productions.

I can't wait for the DVD, I loved it for 'that cheese aspect'.

And the Jerry Goldsmith music (How did they pull him?) Chrisisall

Serenity

>_>

<_<

Joking! Jeez, I think I heard Vera being loaded behind me...

Really though, it HAS to be Star Wars I-III...Personally, I hate them because of SO MUCH BLUE SCREEN

Why not learn from Firefly's example and use REAL set pieces? Urgh...Oh well...

Firefly > All

She'll turn you in before you can say "Don't turn me in...lady..."
