Okay here are some of my worst cinema experiences.
Right off the bat I have to say number 1 is The Blair Witch Project. I hate this movie. It was boring, slow, not scary, and an utter disappointment. Normally I can brush that off, but the hype surrounding this movie was enormous. Critics loved it, it was touted as the "scariest movie ever." And because of the internet marketing some of use very naive kids bought into thinking this was based off real events. So I was hyped up to see the movie. I plopped into my seat at the local theater and saw the movie. My reaction was one of "wait that is it?" I felt cheated. I had been watching horror movies since I was a kid with the introduction of the Universal Monster's collection of films. Making a young kid like myself quite knowledgeable on Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr, and Bela Lugosi. Not to mention Jaws was one of, and still is among my all time favorite movies. Those were masterpieces. This flick was a piece of sh*t. I so hated that movie I became very weary of professional film critics from then on. Not to mention it made my poor brother motion sick.
And while we are at it lets throw in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. I was big into Mortal Kombat at that age (I was in elementary school at the time). We all loved the first movie despite it being PG-13. We thought it was bad ass. Then this piece of crap came out. One of the first movies I can think of along Batman and Robin that same year where I walked out of the theater saying "THAT SUCKED!"
And while we are at it, why the hell do people insist on taking their babies and small children to some of the worst movies imaginable? If I pay good money to see 300 the last thing I want to hear is an infant crying, or some small child with tears rolling down their cheeks in a screening of Deep Blue Sea. True stories to both of them.

I know that a lot of movie buffs like or love this movie, but holy hell, what a disappointment.
