Biggest Letdown of 2008! - Blu-ray Forum

MAPdead · 12-27-2008, 03:52 AM

Everyone is talking about what movie was the best of the year there have been some pretty good movies this year. But what movie were you looking forward to seeing and you walked away thinking damn wtf happen?

The Dark Knight. Totally.

LOL, JK - put down the torches and pitchforks.

I'd have to say Hancock. Such a GREAT premise but it was destroyed by the writers at the midpoint.

Good choice, I have no idea how Sony milked $227 million out of that fraud. A totally worthless effort from everyone involved on the project. Hoever, my pick is Speed Racer.

I knew alot of people would be saying Indy 4 I personally thought it wasn't bad but thats just me.

Galactus · 12-27-2008, 04:56 AM

Hellboy II: The Golden Army was a disappointment for me, went expected to see a sequel to Hellboy but instead i got a sequel to Pan's Labyrinth

i was like WTF!!!

JonD7 · 12-27-2008, 05:01 AM

Hancock, I really thought it was going to be a great movie but... yeah

the dark night is another one... although I never expected anything good out of it.

I knew I was forgetting one. I was SO looking forward to seeing this movie on blu- definitely a let down. Just because the first one was so great.

Yeah i know, even the animated films were better then HBII, del toro droped the ball on this one, lets hope he stays true Mike Mignola's vision for HB3.

Hancock was a BIG disappointment for me. I really expected more from a film with Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron.

I enjoyed everything but towards in end of the movie is where it gets bad. The ending killed the movie.

Without a doubt....INDY 4.

The Happening. It was the only film I walked out on. Oh well who needs $20 anyway.

Cloverfield, One Missed Call - I suppose you can't call it a letdown if you weren't expecting much to begin with.

MAPdead · 12-27-2008, 03:59 AM

For me it was The X-Files: I Want To Believe it was awful I am a big fan of the show and watching it was painful in every way.

lgans316 · 12-27-2008, 04:07 AM

Indy 4 - Awful CGI
Hancock - Climax

saprano · 12-27-2008, 04:24 AM

Indiana jones ATKOTCS

I liked the chronicals of narnia better, caspian was so different from the first one. it didn't have that same feel ether. but i still got the blu-ray cause i love franchise so much

Absolutely the worst! The X-Files: I Want To Believe should not have been written, much less made. Hellboy II was bad, as was Walle IMO, but The X-Files: IWTB was the worst of the year hands down.

I have to say that Tropic Thunder really dissapointed me. I heard it was hilarious and only laughed at the beginning with the cameo of the other superhero actor.
