^what movie that you already knew was bad or very bad but you bought it anyway because of the cheap price?

For me it was The Fountain

Blu n Gold · 03-25-2008, 02:33 PM

I there was a thread like this already...

yellowblanket · 03-25-2008, 02:38 PM

no, there was a thread that what movie did you regret buying. This is a thread when you are already knew the movie was bad but bought it anyway.

Agree this is different subject. I bought Good Luck Chuck because Best Buy had a promotion. Sold it on ebay a week later.

The ill Jedi · 03-25-2008, 02:40 PM

I don't buy movies that I hate.

SilverFireshot · 03-25-2008, 02:43 PM

I'll probably get I Am Legend. I didn't like the theatrical version, but the alternate ending made much more sense.

bhampton · 03-25-2008, 02:43 PM

Never going to happen.

If I don't think I would enjoy watching a movie there is no way I would buy it.

If I do buy a movie that I don't like,.. I don't keep it.

Technically, I only paid shipping... Hart's War.... I can't even get rid of it on Ebay for crying out loud!

BStecke · 03-25-2008, 02:53 PM

I saw I Am Legend in the theater and left feeling a bit underwhelmed. I like Will Smith, so I took the dive and got it on Blu-ray and enjoyed it quite a bit more the second time around.

Except for the alternate ending. That was stupid.

Wow I have that on dvd it wasn't the best movie ever made but I didn't think it was horrible either.

I mean it had Bruce in it, I mean that already gives it 40 points.

While I didn't hate spiderman 3 I didn't like it either and yet I bought it, I felt compelled to buy it, and I opened it watched 5 minutes of it... ONE DAY I WILL WATCH IT.

Perhaps the reason I didn't like it was that I saw it saw recently at theaters that it was too fresh in my mind.. I don't know, nor can I describe it.

GregBlu5 · 03-25-2008, 03:03 PM

Nope. I have resisted.

Regardless of BOGOs and other incentives over the past several months, I still won't buy movies like A Clockwork Orange. (I know it has many, many redeeming, and even excellent, qualities for many viewers down through the years.) But I hated it when I saw it in the theaters during its first release many years ago, and I just will not buy it even when they produce it someday in 3D. The Patriot was another I did not like.

I can understand why folks enjoyed these, and other, films like them. However, I did not enjoy either and won't buy them in Blu, regardless.

I felt this way when I bought DVDs, and nothing has changed now that I buy BDs. I won't buy movies that I/my wife/my daughter aren't interested in.

casey76 · 03-25-2008, 03:09 PM

I don't understand why anyone would buy a movie they already know that they don't like. I've had my share of blind buys that I didn't like, but I've never bought a movie that I knew that I didn't like.

Maybe you're asking for way too much for that movie

I'm sure you'll find a buyer if you sold it for $5.

savage1984 · 03-25-2008, 03:12 PM

I really didn't like 300 that much but I got it in a BOGO, so i didn't feel bad. One day i'll watch it, well maybe the fight scenes. Same thing with The Departed. I thought it was okay. Hated the ending. There were some great one-liners. Didn't pick it up on a BOGO. if one day it's 5 dollars. I'll pick it up.

Haha, The Departed I think is one of the best movies on Blu-ray. Even though it's a long movie I think I've watched it about eight times, and I like it better and better every time. I'm really starting to get into Scorsese's stuff.

savage1984 · 03-25-2008, 03:19 PM

I can tell we have very different tastes in movies.

yellowblanket · 03-25-2008, 03:34 PM

there just some movie out there too that i don't like (ex:spiderman3) but i heard the PQ and AQ are very nice so i got it anyway.

Secretagentnumber6 · 03-25-2008, 03:35 PM

Not on BLu Ray, but back years ago when Reindeer Games came out I bought it blindly, man that was a mistake. What a horrendous piece of garbage. Same goes for Bedazzled (Brendan Frasier version). Blind Buy, wanted to gouge my eyes out and become truly blind afterwards. I love all the Blu Rays I have bought, I only buy something I truly know I will like or that I have seen now.
