while i do agree with the matrix sequels being on this list...i just gotta say this..

the first film was so well done there was was no way they were going to be able to top it.

sequels aren't great, but they are far from bad...

Inglourious Basterds .

This, too.

Really? That movie's probably in my top 5.

brad pitt was wrong in that role

give it to some less known actor with a real "southern accent" and it becomes one of tarentino's best.

The Matrix Sequels.

Agreed. Even though Reloaded is a fun movie, it's an underwhelming follow-up to the first one. I saw it in theaters when I was eleven so I enjoyed the action and still think the highway chase is amazing, but in retrospect it lacks the more compelling narrative of the first. Revolutions starts off very strong but I totally lost interest by the time the the battle with the machines started. Impressive effects, but it became overly long and really dragged the movie down.

Also, as a Bond fan, Quantum of Solace was a major letdown after the excellent Casino Royale.

All I remember from Matrix Reloaded was the 5 hour slow motion rave, the 25 minute highway chase (which was awesome) and Monica Belucci.

Revolutions was a little better.

I thought he was great, but he's one of my favorite actors and I like him in pretty much everything. :\

Fuckin' LOL to one of the answers here. That's all I'll say.

If you're referring to my Godfather II answer, I said it's still a great movie (like 9/10 good), I just don't think it's as good as the original. I guess it doesn't belong in the "most disappointing movies of all time" thread though.

Dark Knight Rises was absoloute garbage.

Bane sucked, everybody was completely out of character and that's not Robin, what the fuck were they thinking?

Don't even give me that stupid "Well Nolan was trying to make his own realistic version of the universe" Shut the fuck up!

That doesn't excuse this piece of shit! If you did like it, odds are you know nothing of batman anyway and have no valid opinion.

That and the Dragonball movie. I dont even have to say anything about that, it would just never end.

I loved TDKR! And know a shit load about Batman! I have tons of comics and books about Batman. And so much more! They will prob never make a movie the way the comic is. That is Hollywood. I do like that Nolan did get a whole bunch of different ideas from various comics and books.

What are some movies that you invested a lot of hope and anticipation into, only to be incredibly disappointed and let down?

For me, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a clear example of this. I'm REALLY worried that The Hobbit will end up being another example of a film I invested a lot of hope in only to have it not meet my expectations.

Didn't you bitch at ER back in the day when he was criticizing that movie, and didn't you tell him Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was the bestest thing ever?

I haven't seen one single film in all these posts. I think I spend too much time reading and sewing. :lol:

Anyway, it's interesting to note that almost all of the films mentioned are sequel films which is sending out a BIG message: don't bother with sequels. They're obviously just money spinners after a hugely successful first film and those involved put almost no effort in at all to making it good. They're just trading off the success of the original and are having a laugh at your expense. Fuck Hollywood. Just wait for the DVD or even better, the TV broadcast. I actually don't know why people bother these days. I read all the reviews before I go and see a film or am very wary if a film has a massive advertising budget. It often (but not always) indicates that the film turned out shit and they are depending on promotion to get bums in seats.
