Which movie in your collection do you wish you HADN'T purchased? - Blu-ray Forum

BWOzar · 03-25-2009, 07:28 PM

I was curious which movie in all your collections you wish you hadn't purchased. You know the one, that movie you, in a moment of weakness with a wallet too filled, bought without thinking and that now haunts the rest of your beloved collection.

For me it's probably Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe; I hated that movie in theaters and must have hit my head very very hard the day before picking it up in an Amazon sale a few months back.

Wow...I loved that movie...anyways, Hostel II was a bomb that I bought on release week.

I'm very careful what movies I buy ofr my collection. However my local best buy had titles for sale for 14.99 and I seen ID4 on th shelf for 16.99. I thought to my self hey that might pretty cool on blu with surround sound. Well I got it home and checked out a few scene's and thought wow that sounds and looks prety bad. So I'm still gonana watch it and decide aftewr watching the whole thing through bnut from what little bit I have seen . I dont know I might just resell the thing on ebay.

I'm going to go with Max Payne, I didn't actually pay for it. I got it free through work. I could have picked any movie. All the movies I bought I like.

I love the genre...but this just bored me a tad.

Total Recall. Just plain horrible PQ.

I watched it just a few nights ago. It had such potential to be great. Ed Harris. Viggo Mortenson. Jeremy Irons. Lance Henricksen. And then Renee Zellwegger shows up and it becomes a western diluted with a love triangle.

I wasn't sure if we were meant to hate Zellweger's character more than the actual villain, but she was the only actor in the film lacking any charisma.

After seeing Harris and Mortensen together in History of Violence, this was a major let down.

I don't normally blind buy on Blu Ray. The only ones I have that I could stand to get rid of are extra copies of the Bond titles because I turned around, and bought the box sets.

ludawg23 · 03-25-2009, 08:31 PM

Definitely Terminator 2.

Loved the movie but the transfer was pretty awful.

bongzilla · 03-25-2009, 09:39 PM

U2, Rattle and hum,
just was not up to par with the other ones.

I probably end up keeping, wont get back what I paid.

Clark Kent · 03-25-2009, 09:41 PM

Probably Jumper. I picked it up as a blind buy and hated it.

F-Man · 03-25-2009, 10:01 PM

So far only 2.

The Bridge to Terabithia, good but not enough replay value.
Halloween, I just don't get anything that's good about it. I did take a chance later on and blind bought The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which I fortunately loved.

EDIT: Bah, I suppose I also don't like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Die Hard With A Vengeance that much either. The former was my first Blu-ray so I wasn't thinking, I bought it knowing I didn't like the movie that much.

goodluckchuck · 03-25-2009, 10:02 PM

Pretty Woman.... sold it on Ebay after, very dissapointed in PQ, made me even hate blu's for a while LOL first and last ever blind buy of me of any video!

Gone2HiDef · 03-25-2009, 10:18 PM

Marine Aquarium. I thought it'd be funny to have on in the background during a party, but it's nothing like I expected. Lame PQ.

owa · 03-25-2009, 10:21 PM

Is this anything like Blu-rays you wish you didn't buy and why?
