Listmania!
The 10 most underwhelming movies I had the misfortune to see
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition) [2001]The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition) [2001]
Buy new: £5.94 / Used from: £4.49
Yaaawn - wake me up when it's over. Hours of ridiculous characters trudging around the countryside interupted by occasional special effects. I really can't go for anything with pointy eared people.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) [2002]The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) [2002]
Buy new: £7.32 / Used from: £2.80
More pointy eared tedium - with dragons, if I remember correctly. I can bearly wait to see the 3rd in the trilogy.
Batman [1989]Batman [1989]
Buy new: £8.84 / Used from: £2.50
What a let down after all the hype it received prior to realease. More pointy ears!
Star Trek: First Contact [1996] (REGION 1) (NTSC)Star Trek: First Contact [1996] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Buy used from: £3.75
This was the first Star Treck movie I ever saw. It will be my last. I hate the TV series, why I thought this would be better I'll never know. Some of the characters have pointy ears!
Jaws 2 [1978]Jaws 2 [1978]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.29
No pointy ears, but still a dreadful movie. The first Jaws was great, but they went rapidly downhill after that.
The Exorcist - Director's Cut [1974]The Exorcist - Director's Cut [1974]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.99
Having been banned for decades I had to see what all the fuss was about. I wish I hadn't bothered. It's about as scary as Barny the dinosaur.
Rambo: First Blood [1982]Rambo: First Blood [1982]
Buy new: £3.65 / Used from: £1.99
I remember people raving about this movie long before I finally saw it - what a load of tosh. I think I've seen some of the subsequent movies, hard to tell they're pretty indistinguishable.
Clockwork Orange [1972]Clockwork Orange [1972]
Buy new: £4.97 / Used from: £3.60
Another banned film I watched to find out what all the fuss was about. Rubbish! The only scene I recall is one in which a woman is chased around the room with a giant china phalus - no really!
The Matrix Reloaded (2 Disc Edition) [2003]The Matrix Reloaded (2 Disc Edition) [2003]
Buy new: £4.37 / Used from: £1.00
I thought first Matrix was OK, but I've seen this twice - it seems to be a collection of special effects scenes, I don't recall a plot.
Gladiator [2000]Gladiator [2000]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.99
'salright, but what a let down after all the hype! If you want a Biblical epic, try Ben Hur or Spartacus.
