Blade Runner 2049 almost sent me into a coma

There's a couple of chick flicks I saw that wasted a couple of hours of my life and a £12 cinema ticket!

I feel Pretty being one of them - yawn!

I know it's down to personal opinion but I walked out of the cinema thinking "I cannot fucking wait for the last movie now!"

Yes it was just tedious. Having seen a big screen showing of the original the week before it was a massive let down.

Somewhere In The Ether…

The Last Jedi. I hated it with a passion.

Piss poor and juvenile attempts at humour, characters utterly wasted in piss poor subplots which went absolutely no where and served only to pad out the films already bloated running time, Leia flying(!) I repeat - Leia fucking flying!!! - and very worst of all, Luke Skywalker’s character was treated in the most utterly contemptable manner.

An absolute insult to the franchise. Way to piss on our childhood memories Disney!

I wouldn't go that far, It was overhyped and no better than most of the Marvel Films.

Not the only one disappointed in Infinity War. Too much going on, too many characters..it just flitted every couple of minutes so I couldn't get into what anyone was doing. It felt like they had 3 movies worth of stuff then tried to edit it all into one movie.

I was also disappointed in Black Panther. Apart from all the characters going completely over the top on the "be as ridiculously African as possible.. No, more. Tell everyone your clothes were made from the lion your grandfather killed. Think 1930s Tarzan then work from there" to the big fight scenes where it was 2 CGI characters wearing black fighting in the dark...

A lot of Marvel films have disappointed over the last few years. X-Men have become almost Michael Bay-esque in their need to destroy the same world monuments in every film.. Deadpool 2 was lame.

Probably a few more too

Downsizing, started good but then turned into a 'normal' film nothing to do with shrinking. Just out right strange.

I always thought the original was overhyped. Not counting the numerous extended super special directors cuts (oooh we found 4 frames with the cameramans shoe in it) to pump fans for more cash

Melissa McCarthy is just not funny nor is most of the cast.

Justice League: Gal Gadot and some other stuff may have happened.

Suicide Squad: Margot Robbie in hot pants and some shit in the background. (No idea why that witch tried to build a machine using wavy arms magic. Engineering works better)

Ha ha. The only good thing I can say about the Hobbit movies is that Poldark was in it. I couldn’t sadly spot George Warleggan or Demelza though.....

Battle of to many armies I call it, should have stuck to two film and let Guillermo del Toro doe his version.

With Orlando 'I know I wasn't in this book, but my career is down to being papped shagging a model. Can I have a job?' Bloom.

And the elf/dwarf love story? (Though I would give Evangeline Lilly the best 45 seconds of her last 3 minutes if she dressed up as the elf for me)

And Steven Fry hamming it up? Please...

I felt like this about Infinity War. I was getting cross eyed with the fast screen changes. Don't know how people with Autism etc managed it.

Minions Movie. Could have been totally awesome. It kinda sucked.
