Blu-rays you wish you DIDN'T buy... and WHY! - Blu-ray Forum

Post the Blu-Ray Movie In Your Collection You Wish You Never Bought...And Why! Post so people can learn from your mistake(s).

Personally, I have two I didn't like and wish I never bought.
Jesse James movie with Brad Pitt & Crank. I'll never watch them again. Watching them one time was hard enough. Sometimes I wonder why some movies get green lighted. I hate to admit it but sometimes the trailors and/or the covers of some movies are better than the actual movie. Sometimes I fall for them.

wild hogs it was just a silly stupid movie. should have rented it and been done with it.

lobo81865 · 10-12-2008, 06:18 AM

I almost never buy them before watching them first unless it's a no-brainer like Iron Man. I rent them on Netflix, and buy them if I like them well enough.

Loved The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

I have many that I bought back when we'd get all the buy one, get one free offers from Amazon. I'd buy just to buy. Now there are tons of new releases coming out that I really want but just can't afford now.

The Italian Job good movie but by far the worst HD transfer of a movie I've seen.

Nicky-D · 10-12-2008, 06:45 AM

Night at the Museum... I love Ben Stiller but so borring!

Lsalas76 · 10-12-2008, 06:49 AM

Blade Runner because I did not like this movie and it put me to sleep. I heard good things about Blade Runner on this site and gave into the hype.

There are tons of other movies that I wish I had not bought but have since sold or traded some of them.

allstar780 · 10-12-2008, 06:50 AM

88 Minutes.

do i need to explain?

I got Hart's War and SWAT as part of the 5 free deal when I bought my PS3. I've been using them as coasters.

The Happening was disappointing.....should have rented it first.....

GoYanks · 10-12-2008, 07:24 AM

sunshine. I read the glowing review. I remembered the trailer being really cool. Then i got the movie and was completely disappointed in it. Many people, who's opinions I respect, loved it. It just didn't rub me the right way.

ambientcafe · 10-12-2008, 07:30 AM

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem. Originally saw it on the big screen and was very disappointed (should've heeded the overwhelmingly bad reviews!) -- the scenes were just too dark....not sure why I thought it might be any different on BD. By comparison, AVPR makes AVP seem like 'Citizen Kane'.

ThePhantomOak · 10-12-2008, 07:38 AM

ALL the movies I got for free from that 5 free blu-ray "deal"

I dont like any of them, and only one of them was a movie I requested...but they were free, so it is a wash.

Of my BD's that I have given money for, I like them all.

That is one of my wifies and my movies... the worst part about it is the kid. When he says "now there's a tablet" as if that is what is crazy about what his dad is claiming, is by far the funniest part (and no ha ha funny).

Saw it in theaters maybe 3 times and IMAX once, and the BD is just not the same for me...

Fool's Gold------God, I'll buy anything

Septimus Prime · 10-12-2008, 09:41 AM

Tekkonkinkreet. I hated it and ended up trading it to JJvix for Rescue Dawn.

swifty7 · 10-12-2008, 10:39 AM

for me was Twilightzone The Movie, what was I thinking, the dvd is good enough for me.
