And Why?
Most Bad Movies can have at least some redeeming qualities..they can be so bad that they are ludicrously funny and as a result develop a cult following..others can be complete stinkers,having no redeeming qualities whatsoever..So..My personal candidate for this category would be "Epic Movie"..the most unfunny alleged comedy movie it's ever been my misfortune to have paid to see..
What's Yours?

As for me..
the movie that dissapointed me is "The Last Airbender"..
The action is so slow.. and the movie is too childish..
i expected the bending technique will be so real but it turn out to be too unreal.
i've seen the animation version and i can see a total difference between the movie and the cartoon version...

Interesting one..I have to say I'm not a big Manga or Anime fan,so for now,I'm missing the comparisons between the original and the derivative live action movie..I saw a few review show clips of the Live Movie,and of course,they show the good bits..but as always,it's how it all comes together on screen that's important..I can appreciate part of it being "Unrealistic" and taking you out of the story,though!

I don't do movies but heard about Time Travelers Wife....I love time travel stories. So I bought the book. I got nearly half way through it and had to stop...boy was that a lot of "work" to read it and keep up with the where's and when's of each of them and their ages and "was this before or after.." I stopped. It was just to much work to be enjoyed. Then the movie came out on DVD and I rented it and if I hadn't read part of the book to know what was going on... I don't think I would have been able to follow it very well. It moved so fast from scene to scene and was hard to keep up with the times and dates and ages. Then they chnaged things from what happened in the book to how that same thing happened in the movie. I barely finished the movie without just stopping in the middle. Very dissapointing!

I didn't try to follow the timeline in this book at all,I just followed the story and picked up where I was from the context and the Character reactions..By not beating myself up with a calendar,I enjoyed the twists,jumping from one situation to the next,so it was as much a surprise to Me as the Characters..I have to agree on the Movie version..I know you'l never get all the plot from a book into the movie version with the reduced runtime,but the characterisations of their friends,and the subplots made for interesting detail,which were dropped in concentrating on Clare and Henry's developing relationship,(which to be fair was the whole point of the story!)So you got a relationship movie with twists,but not a lot of detail outside that.It's a cliche,but the book was better..

'The Fall'. I had heard SO MANY good reviews on this movie and I was just so looking forward to watching it that I think I hyped it up too much for myself. It was visually STUNNING, the acting was SUPERB, the story line was AWESOME but for some reason I just couldn't get into it. I don't know why. There is no reason why I shouldn't have adored that movie, but I didn't. I still give it a 4/5 though.

That's an issue..what you get told is a good movie,and you go along full of expectations,only to be let down by your experience and perception of what's on screen..

I agree with your personal candicdate and also the funny version of movies like vampire sucks. They not only destroy the theme of the original movie but make complete trash out of that movie. I like movie that has its on theme that makes it funny.

I don't mind parody movies for trying to get a laugh out of some movies,but I DO want them to be funny,as otherwise you're just restating the same thing the parody was about in the first place..and that might as well be a movie clip show..
