The Da Vinci Code

There was so much hype around the book, but the movie was kind of bland. The whole climax of the movie was just so anti-climactic.

Lots of great reviews on this one.

Body of Lies- I was all prepped up for a thriller but was disappointed with this story. The movie wasn't bad but I felt no buildup or suspense to the extent where it would hold my interest. Leo in the middle east speaking arabic and Russel Crowe trying real hard with that southern accent was a huge stretch to me. I actually fell asleep on parts of this.

I know I'm in the minority cause I see nothing but rave reviews about this movie.

Me too, the beginning was intense and then it kind of died out.
Also the fact that I'm a huge fan of Ridley Scott, it's weird to be let down by one of your fav director's.

add me to that as well, had huge expectations considering the cast, director, and subject matter, and while not bad, it fell short

I too was very disappointed with Body of Lies. I expected so much more from Ridley and Leo. The story took forever to develop and just couldn't maintain my interest. I kept thinking, is anything ever going to happen? Don't get me wrong, dialogue and story is very important but this was a poor example. I'm glad I rented it before I bought it.

i would have to say the two that come right to my mind would be the incredible hulk i was pretty siked to go see than when i left the theater i was very dissapointed thought i would give it another chance when it came out on blu and made me even more mad

+1 on hulk, i ended up shutting it off in the middle of the movie, way to boring and more of a love story than anything, even though Edward Norton did a good job

Got it! I know who he is know. I was wondering why his name was so familiar.

BStecke · 03-13-2009, 05:39 PM

Undoubtedly Indiana Jones 4. Of all the movies, including Dark Knight, that I was very excited for last year, IJ was at the top of the heap. The disappointment I felt after seeing IJ4 actually ruined any excitement that I had for The Dark Knight, and I haven't had that giddy feeling I used to get for movies ever since.

krazeyeyez · 03-13-2009, 05:41 PM

Indy 4
Jumper
Xmen 3
Spiderman 3
Godzilla (the US version)
Fantastic 4 both but more so part 1
Kingdom of Heaven (before the director's cut)
King Kong

all i got for now, i like most these except indy, but huge disappointments all the same

Chordata · 03-13-2009, 04:54 PM

Phantom Menace

DAROCKNESSMONSTER · 03-15-2009, 03:36 AM
