    I dont even have words, was recommended this at the weekend, rented it

    Jesus ******* Christ. It’s a ******* musical about a twatty unlikeable American circus master.

    Boring.

    Horrible generic modernist music.

    God.

    Please no one watch it
    The songs are ****, the story line literally or nearly stinks.

    Please do not expose yourself to this monstrosity.
    Stab yourself in the eyes if you like. Disembowel yourself but really don’t bother with this.

    You don’t care a fig for the boring one dimensional characters as they bore their way through their trope driven predictable, left wing agenda everyone is equal ( but in a **** predictable “no she didn’t girl” way) lives.

    It is worse than London Road a musical film about prostitution deaths with real life audio clips - that REALLY takes some doing

    "The Meg"... the only upside of the experience was that the lady behind the counter in the cinema at Broadstairs was new and for some reason thought that my son's CEA card meant that we both got in for free.

    'Knowing' comes pretty close.

    Awful.

    Made worse by the comical Jason Statham. How this clown gets acting work is beyond me.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi - such a hateful piece of crap and the good news, Disney have cancelled Rian Johnson's Star Wars trilogy...bad news Ewan McGregor's Obi Wan Kenobi film isn't being made.

    Anything directed by Uwe Boll especially Alone in the Dark - simply the worst director ever.

    Anything directed by Terence Malick - The New World and Knight of Cups - simply the most pretentious director ever - along with Lars Von Trier...he's working hard to get that accolade.

    Manos: The Hands of Fate - only way to watch this is with Mystery Science Theatre 3000 riffing, otherwise you will tear your eyeballs out.

    Anything with Adam Sandler.

    The Room - although it's a hideous film, it's one of those so bad it's good films.

    Any Transformer film.

    Suicide Squad - I almost did

    Left Behind - why why why

    Sex Tape - this inspired to take a contract out on Cameron Diaz

    Nothing will ever surpass "Mamma Mia!". Dreadful tripe interspersed with the murder of various decent songs by actors who can't sing but seem to believe they can.

    Saw "Final Score" the other night. This film with Dave Bautista set in The Boleyn Ground is truly awful.

    Most recently it would have to be the Martian.

    Of all time, nothing comes close to Tree of Life. Indulgent nonesense

    Exactly. But nowhere near as good. They even stole some of the lines (e.g. "why are you wasting time talking to me").

    I agree, it was nowhere near as good but it wasn't dreadful. I think they went too far by implying West Ham got as far as a European semi-final, there's fiction and there's taking the pi$$! This was the latter!

    I think The Martian is really good. Honestly. Great book too.

    Even though it cost me nothing to watch it I still feel cheated - it's just awful.

    TBF some of the Dogme 95 films are "hard work" I do like his "The Idiots" and "Dogville" (I think it's the first time I've seen Nicole Kidman actually "act"). His best film (and it really is good it should be in any list of "The Greatest Films ...") is "Breaking the Waves".

    I'll be honest, I based my decision on Melancholia and Antichrist....it just put me off.

    I stopped watching after Matt Damon said he was going to "science the **** out of this".

    TBF, not much of the other Dogme 95 stuff is any good (i.e. entertaining rather than an academic exercise) - "Mifune" is the clear winner but some of the not-quite-Dogme stuff was really fantastic and very watchable "The Man Without a Past", "Show Me Love" (which has an unfortunate "Real Title") and the wonderful "Let the Right One In" (they "toned" down the book and I have no intention of seeing what the US remake's like).

    Back on thread: none of the various DC/Marvel films have grabbed me as being anything approaching good I think I described "Dr Strange" as the least **** one I've seen - I'm baffled at all the "praise" "Black Panther" and "Wonder Woman" have received from what can be loosely described as "grown-ups".

    My wife and her sister like the Greatest Showman a lot and didn't like it when I described it as the soundtrack to a thousand menopauses.

    Animal House is a terrible film - massively overrated, just boring with almost nothing worth laughing at.

    soundtrack to a thousand menopauses.

    Brilliant

    How can you like it a lot? What is to like? Don't tell me they have watched it more than once? Bet they have.

    About twice I think. She has the DVD and also keeps listening to the soundtrack. It is "uplifting" apparently.

    I haven't actually seen it, but my 9 year old son got dragged to see it and his one word review was "crap".

    I've seen Let the Right One In and enjoyed it...I didn't realise it was him!

    I've also seen the remake 'Let Me In' which was ok.

    I agree about Dr Strange, thought it was average.

    Black Panther was just a run of the mill rubbish partially based on Hamlet and have no interest in watching it again.

    I did thoroughly enjoy Infinity War though.

    It wasn't him, but a few Scandi film-makers did follow the Dogme 95 "manifesto" to the letter but far more were influenced by some of its tenets: hand-held cameras, natural lighting, lack of soundtrack, contemporary setting, extensive use of locations not sets....

    Von Trier's masterpiece is "Breaking the Waves" be warned it contains lots of, ahem, "rumpy-pumpy".

    I like Von Trier. His films may be pretentious on the whole but at least they are interesting.

    I'll take him over Malick...I cannot stand his films, he made The Thin Red Line unwatchable.

    The 2013 Championship Final was one of the worst films. Crap ending.

    I thought Kingsman was utter ****. Not exciting, not funny, not cool and no real storyline. No idea what it's appeal was supposed to be.

    Jaws 2 was poor, Jaws 3 in 3D was appalling and Jaws 4 made Jaws 3 look Oscar-winning.

    La la land and Monster House are the only two films I have turned off midway through due to boredom.

    Loved The Greatest Showman though

    I completely forgot about La La Land...utter guff...had Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone both been hit by a bus in the final scene it would have made the film 1,000% more enjoyable.
