Unbearable Movies? Well, we have to remember that most movies are made with the intention of it being good... however there's that stock of the "cash-in movies."
A cash-in falls into 2 categories. The Bullshit Sequel and The Remake.
Remakes cover comics, toys & other movies. Remake cash-ins can be ok! And they might not be cash-ins... possibly with good intentions (i.e. Nolan and Batman. Thank you, Mr. Nolan.)
However, the Bullshit Sequel is the bane of my existence. Such are the disney movies that go right to dvd. (Aladdin 6: Carpets Big Adventure or Lion King 13: Yup, Another Baby King)
My two, most unbearable movies in recent time? Boondock Saints 2 and Decent 2.
BS2: The first movie is such an amazing feat... yet Troy Duffy (director) is the biggest, egotistical-filled pile of used douche bags i've ever witnessed. I've seen a few interviews with him and some other actors, and it just shines through. If you liked BS1... do NOT watch 2. It's like Duffy took 1, reshot some scenes from the first movie with new people, cut em all up, reorganized 'em, and smugly said to himself "I did it again." *self high five*
Do not watch it. Ever.
Decent 2: Again, the first movie was amazing. The second? It happens 2 days after the first, a spelunking team is sent down to find the lost girls... zero character development (you know who is what arch-type upon .5 seconds of seeing them) and there's no connection. It's like Final Destination 2. (1 and 3... haven't seen 4) involve friends and peers. There's a connection that they all share... in 2? They're all strangers. No pressure to save each other, outside of "its on the script." However, FD2 has great deaths... so it gets a pass
) but w/out the cool gore. Decent2 tries to bring the gore, but it's very poorly done, and the same effects are used over and over again.
Bad script + zero investment in the characters + awful effects = insta bad... and not GOOD bad. Just bad-bad.

slither! walked out of the cinema after 20 mins.... Also the same with cabin fever, Never again will I see a movie the first day it's out.
Oh wow. Slither is such an amazing movie. The Fillion/Gunn combo is unbeatable. And i Can Not Wait for Super.
(Side note: James Gunn {director of both flicks} is a student of the School Of Troma. Hence the over the top, badly done gore. Based upon that, alone... Super will be amazing.)

QUOTE(bowser @ Dec 1 2010, 03:53 AM) Burn After Reading. What a pointless movie.
I found it hilarious.
Never watch "Accident" (Asian flick) or District 9 they are absolutely horrible and the only 2 movies i have ever walked out on
District 9 is one of the best Sci-Fi movies i've seen in 10 years. (note: "one of..." not just "the best sci fi ever")
It takes about half the movie, and i questioned it (as did Wife® and my dad) but we all talked about it afterwards, and when that moment hits... it's absolutely balls awesome. Will have to watch it again sometime soon.
