What is your biggest disappointment in the cinema?

So, I was watching the new ALIEN: COVENANT trailer and I remembered how disappointment Prometheus was for me. I was a big fan of the ALIEN franchise but after PROMETHEUS I quit the "Alien fan" status for real. The teaser trailer got me. I watched that teaser so many times and... that movie was terrible. I almost walked away but my girlfriend and my mother was there and I don't like to be the stupid guy, damn, what a hard day.

What was your biggest disappointment in the cinema?

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Dumb and Dumber To.

The last 2 movies of Tarantino!

Having to actually leave my seat when the wife is with me if I need to go for a slash during a fillum.

I know what it's like to quit being a fan of something.

I'm an Alien fan but, by and large, I liked Prometheus even though it has some big flaws. I'm the opposite way round when it comes to Alien: Covenant, as I didn't see anything there that looked as good or as interesting as Prometheus, or that compares with Alien for style and substance.

I don't think I have a biggest disappointment in the cinema as I haven't been for such a long time. It's also quite hard to think of the biggest disappointment in film terms. Could be The Witch actually.

Independence Day Resurgence. I had hope it would be good. It wasn't.

The later super-heroes movies. They lack action, and for me, the sole interest of American super-heroes movies is to see these super-heroes use their powers and fight with them.

This is probably because I didn't grow with American comics, as in my country, Belgium, we have our own "comic" scene, and rather read our ones, or European ones, which aren't about super-heroes. So, for me the whole concept of a guy dressed in silly uniform but with powers is hard to take seriously. Let's say I would find it better or more serious and mature without the uniforms, because with them, I have an hard time seeing American comics as something else than a media for children, or something serious/mature. I KNOW however than they can be mature and not only directed to children (Watchmen is very serious and has a quite deep plot, X-men is about interesting societal issues, Batman can be quite dark and grim, etc...), but here super-heroes became a part of mainstream culture only when movies based on their comics started to appear.

Sorry, not to beat a dead horse, but no movie ever came close to how disappointed I was after seeing this.

Top 3 disappointments...

1. Meet Joe Black
2. Dumb and Dumberer
3. Noah (because of the transformer rocks)

I saw that in the theater too. It was BORING!

As for me Prometheus was up there, but Alien vs Predator was the biggest in the movie theater disappointment. I say disappointment because that is what it was. A mediocre letdown.

Worst cinema experience period is still The Blair Witch Project.

The man with the iron fists

Lost In Space (1998) - the movie started out pretty good, but took a detour with a bizarre time-travel paradox story & alternate potential future versions of two characters which took away focus on the rest of the characters, the main plot (of Smith's sabotage and the ship getting lost) & the family dynamic.

The update on the B-9 Robot was a huge disappointment (but then he gets destroyed and rebuilt as an abominable re-envisioning of the classic model by a morose and unlikeable future-Will Robinson), but at least we got a few moments of the original Robot's voice (Dick Tufeld).

I had high hopes that did not manifest. If ever a TV series begged for a big screen treatment it was Lost in Space.

Maybe stretching the criteria a bit with this one, but I'm still not over being forced to see Ocean's Twelve because not everyone in the group I was with was old enough to get into Team America without a guardian.

Aside from that, it's a tough call since I tend to have low expectations most of the time anyway.

Heathens.

Honestly actually my answer would probably be The Village. I was so disappointed and thought it would be something awesome.

Yeah, all you guy suck i'd love to see The Thin Red Line in the cinema. Great film.

Probably Mean Girls because i ended up seeing it three times in the cinema by accident . In the space of a few weeks it was awful and i kinda like it as well.

Star Wars the force awakens.

Probably Rogue One. Or Congo. Not that hopes were high for either, I did, at least, expect Rogue One to be an entire Star Wars film and not just the last 30-40 minutes or so.
