The Most Disappointing Movies of 2008

Triga Films - strawberry float a Hoodie.

It's just like Scallyboy Orgy 2, even the "actors" are the same. :evil:

Deleted from hard drive pretty quick. Not worth keeping both the same.

Oh dear god that's real:

Breaking News! HOODIES who vandalised a local youth club were yesterday nicked and forced to strawberry float each other in radical new moves introduced by the Home Office.

The 3 tear-aways who were spotted on CCTV spray painting the local council offices at 4 in the morning were promptly arrested by police. Camera operators rang the local bobbies and within 30 minutes the troublesome gang were taken to an unknown address and made to sort each other out!

Hot spunk sprayed and arses were plunged as this group of nutters were forced to eat cock, strawberry float each other hard also get a seeing to from another local bunch of lads! CCTV supervisor Tommy Carter said: "They didn’t look happy as the other local gang strawberry floated em rotten in front of their mates. It was strawberry floatin horny though!"

Not fazed by their ordeal the group of unruly street urchins wanted a re-match with the gang who shafted them and we've caught it all on film!

From memory I think Gario likes them

(If not him one of the people on here does)

Also - Quantum Of Solace

I really disliked cloverfield (was that 2008?) I remember watching all the hype surrounding this, thinking hey this looks good, but it was just a guy holding a camera getting cheap scares for the audiance, I just wasn't convinced by the whole film.

Cloverfield was February 2008.

I've managed to avoid the real dross this year and largely enjoyed my trips to the cinema - Wall E and TDK will force themselves in to my favourites movies list soon, no doubt.

However, one film that scars my mind is Wanted. It was just awful. It tried to pass itself off as cool (presumably due to its comic roots) but it tried too hard and just looked generic. If I was 13, I might be amazed by the car chase, someone getting shot in slow-mo or Angelina Jolie's arse. Lines such as "I was miserable and pathetic, like you" and particularly the closing line of "What the strawberry float have you done today" were terribly bad, and a replacement for making the film gritty and edgy in its own right.

Plus, my friend who was with me at the time had just gained a first in his Law degree. So that's what he strawberry floating done today, James, you unconvincing assassin-shit.

And if you take orders based on textile machinery, you can't blame anyone if it all goes horribly wrong.

It got decent reviews and has garnered a sequel too, unfortunately. I'm not a fan of the comic, so I don't know if they're going to bring Morgan Freeman or Jolie back, or if they're going to shoehorn in the Knitting Needle of Destiny to further the tired plot next time.

Zack and Miri also wasn't a patch on Rogen's other stuff, like Knocked Up and Superbad. Substituting swear words for dialogue does not a funny make. At least - thank God - it was better than Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Wanted - A strawberry floating loom!

I was semi enjoying the film, until the loom was introduced! I was like really? a strawberry floating loom

Indy
Quantum of Solace
Wall.E

Even Cloverfield was worse than I expected.

Indy and Wanted I'd go with.

Some of you are out of your tiny little minds though, 3 films in particular that shouldn't be anywhere near this topic.

Nobody bite.

Thats never going to work...good try though, believe it or not I don't actually ever want to get into big arguments about this stuff.

Quantum of Soace and the Futurama films.

QoS was pure unadulterated shite. There were no redeeming features whatsoever. The script, the acting, the stunts, the cinematography...all were below par. Worst was the direction, which wanted to jump on the Bourne wagon so badly that Foster decided to disguise his inability to successfully emulate the style by shaking the camera so hard as to make everything on screen disappear in a giant motion blur. It's the only time I've ever had to look away from a film because it was giving me a headache.

Futurama films: probably more disappointing than QoS, if nowhere near as bad. They were just flat. No big laughs, just fan service. Hopefully it'll get picked up for a sixth season and will go back to the good old days.

Quantum of Solace was disappointing. It was a decent film but as a sequel to Casino Royale I was expecting it to be better.

This. Most of my friends like him.

The Dark Knight. It was overhyped by the media, my friends and most people on here, and when I finally got around to watching it I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be.

It's not a horror so the scares are irrelevant, more like some modern twist on a action film from a different perspective. Just remembered I didn't put it on my Christmas list either

I really enjoyed it, solid 9/10.

Indy 4 & Quantum of Solace are the only ones I would say I was disappointed by. I saw far shittier movies than those two but I knew they were gonna be gooseberry fool, so they don't count.

If I was to name my worst, not most disappointing, it would be between The Mutant Chronicles, The Happening & Babylon A.D.

Awful, awful films.

A strawberry floating LOOM

Wall-E. Like Mind Crime I think I let myself get too hyped up about it, being the fanatical Pixar fan I am and overall found it pretty underwhelming. Now that the pre-release hype is long gone though it's one I'll rewatch to see if I can get a better impression. I desperately wanted to love it, but only merely liked it
