Aliens is a special case in that I consider Alien to be one of the best movies of all time. Aliens was pretty good and every movie thereafter has been an exercise in managing disappointment.
I thought Ghostbusters II hit the bottom until I saw the 2016 remake.
Just remembered National Lampoon’s bridge too far: Vegas Vacation. Horrible movie with awful performances by all involved. Not funny in any way whatsoever.
Sometimes? I walked into Bicentennial Man expecting a comedy because the advertisements sold it to me as a comedy. I’m not arguing it’s a good movie or anything, but I probably judged it a bit harsher than I would have had I not thought it was a comedy.
Absolutely agree. I fucking hate that movie.
My offerings:
1941
Brazil
Vegas Vacation is the only Vacation movie that I like. All the others I can’t watch for more than 10 minutes. I think there is just less of Chevy Chase being Chevy Chase in Vegas Vacation, with longer story lines for each of other family members.
Afterlife was terrible, too. It was weird how all the ghostbusters just showed up at the end in their gear and with their car. It was a terrible movie.
Yeah, I got spared from seeing that by a warning from one of my friends.
For me, it was Project X, with Matthew Broderick- who I like as an actor. Schmaltz, and too damn predictable. One of the few films I have walked out of. There was also Sucker Punch, which was the most depressing film ever- not to mention Bridge to Terabithia, both of whose ad campaigns and trail gave no hint of the depression and sadness. I hate lying. Mind you “Bridge” wasnt bad, but it was deceiving.
All of which I liked. And I liked the Directors cut of Highlander 2. Those are just good but not great films that did not live up to the super high expectations.
Truly a bad film that was meant to be a big film. I cant count films that were as cheap B films, like Plan 9 from Outer Space.
It was…okay. Not good but hardly horrible.
I agree, but my issue is that it wasnt billed as a Horror film, which it was. It was not a Science Fiction film.
The great Music makes it out of the zero stars category.
The fake commercias were kinda cool. But yeah.
I read the Wiki plot rendition, and I am reeling with horror and nausea.
They have- Destination Moon. Yeah, it is dated, but it is really not bad at all. I have not seen- The Door Into Summer (Japanese title: 夏への扉 キミのいる未来へ Natsu e no Tobira: Kimi no Iru Mirai e ). I wonder if it is decent?
Yes Alien was.
Also I hated the special magic acid the creature had in it’s blood.
Too many. Look, the three Hobbit films suffered mostly from a coming after the greatest fantasy film trilogy ever, and from Jackson being forced to make it into a trilogy, which meant padding- and bad out of place padding at that. Still, the first film is pretty good, with a great cast. And the next two have some great moments. Was I disappointed? Yes. But did I hate them? No.
Same with the Star wars films and the poisonous hater fanbase out there.
People who love Alien also are horror film fans.
Both have a great cast and some great moments, but yeah, they are disappointing.
That’s why God made record players (and 45 rpm inserts).
Never watched the whole thing. What I saw didn’t look like it would get any better. Your assessment might even be charitable.
The original Vacation was fine. It was different and Chase did a decent job. Euro Vacation was much less so. Christmas Vacation still makes me laugh. And they all are vehicles designed around Chase, after all. But Vegas was writers saying “Let’s take what was amusing 20 years ago and wring all the funny out of it, then leave it on the sidewalk for people to step in.” YMMV
FWIW, smoking was allowed on submerged U.S. Navy submarines for decades until it was finally banned in 2010.
When it was still allowed, I remember the smokers complaining if we let the oxygen levels get too low, because they then had trouble lighting their cigarettes. 
(By the ‘90s, smoking was confined to the lower level engine room on my submarine, but back in the ‘80s it was allowed anywhere on board.)
Trying to think of the last movie I walked out on. Probably Slumdog Millionaire (2008). It’s torture porn and not fit for viewing by anyone.
There is but one King Kong, and that’s the original. The rest I detest equally, but especially the Peter Jackson extravaganza. Bloated bunch of shit.
Saturday Night Fever was Oscar material compared to Staying Alive.
I had heard critical raves about “Snowpiercer”, and saw it on DVD. Or the first 10 minutes or so, anyway.
I made it just a little farther into “Boyhood” before I decided I just didn’t like the characters enough to want to know what would happen to them next.
I finally saw it about 5 years ago. It wasn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but it ranks up there. Freak dancing in 1963? Yeah, right. The “Classic” status, that I DEFINITELY didn’t get.
I was in a local art movie club back in the 1990s, and the one movie that got more hate than anything else we showed put together was a 3-hour (by all accounts; I haven’t seen it) borefest called “Celine and Julie Go Boating.” “Crumb”, the documentary about the cartoonist, was a very distant second. I have seen “Crumb” and liked it as much as one could like a movie about such incredibly dysfunctional people.
True, but a submarine could easily get more air. A spaceship couldn’t surface into an oxygen environment.
Baird Searles, who reviewed all SF films of the era for Fantasy and Science Fiction (easier to do back then), refused to review it, calling it a haunted house film, not science fiction.
