What's the worst film you ever saw at the cinema?
Discussion
Gotta agree with Arrival.
Seems they took the opening couple of chapters of a really good book, you know where they set the history and premise of the really good stuff to come, but forgot to actually make the interesting stuff of the story.
They could have made the whole thing into the opening 15 minutes of a much better movie. Not the best 30 odd quid I've spent.

Traffic with Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta jones in. It was all hyped up so went the cinema and its the only time I've seen people get up and walk out on a film. I had to stay to the end because I thought something good is going to happen and come together, but no, just absolute rubbish.
Were you expecting a modern day version of "The jewel of the Nile" crossed with "Entrapment" ? Yeah, I would have been disappointed too.
It's a good film - it's social commentary.

Natural Born Killers is the only film I remember wanting to walk out on. It was in a multiplex and I was considering gate crashing one of the other films instead. The only reason I didn't was that I was with a group of people.

I found Inception incredibly tedious.
I've tried to watch it twice, but got so bored I had to stop.KrazyIvan said:

I know I'm on my own here but,
Reservoir Dogs.
To this day I just don't get the hype.
As I recollect, Reservoir Dogs was interesting, but Pulp Fiction was crap. Then after sitting though Kill Bill 1 & 2, I completely gave up on Quentin Tarantino. Everything he does seems like overhyped, unimaginative crap. The only good film work he has ever done was getting his head blown off in a toilet in Desperado.Reservoir Dogs.

Tarantino isn't for everyone, I think Pulp Fiction is brilliant but very much of its era when watched nowadays. I also love Kill Bill, especially 1 purely as it's meant to be a homage to Tarantino's favorite Kung fu films. He's one of the few directors who seems to get some artistic license and take some risks which is refreshing, especially when you see corporate driven garbage like Prometheus which just destroys the legacy of once great directors.
I think I've been reasonably lucky (or I've got a high pain/boredom threshold) but I couldn't really think of anything that stood out.
Then I remembered Fair Game (1995) and what an utter pile of s
t that was. Looking back I'm not even sure why I would have watched it, I guess it seemed the best choice that week or maybe I didn't choose it. William Baldwin on the poster should have set off an alarm, Cindy Crawford too should have added turned the alarm up to 11.
It looks like it bombed so apparently it wasn't just me who hated it.

This was a classic example for me because I believed all the hype and went to the cinema to see it and all the way through I was hoping it would get better and it never did, I did stay for the duration but it was a real struggle and still to this day I can't stand that film. Maybe I should watch it again now I'm older but I doubt I'd find it any more interesting.
