Yeah, the script wasn’t so hot. But those were very realistic fight scenes, for the most part.
Usually I feel that people should watch an entire movie before passing judgment on it, but in your case, if you didn’t like that part, yeah, you weren’t going to like the rest of the film, either. I mean, I loved Kick-Ass, but I can see where it wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
I saw this on stage a few months ago, and while I was focused primarily on the acting (because I went with acting class classmates), which was good overall, I agree with your overall assessment. I’m not sure why this play is still being staged.
I’ve said it before here, but I thought Black Swan was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. It was like being hit over the head with the same lame metaphor over and over and over and over until all I could do was laugh at how ridiculous it was. My stars and garters, that was one terrible movie.
Burlesque. I love movie musicals, I love Stanley Tucci, but day-um, that was a bad movie. As I said when I resurrected the thread on it here, I sure hope they paid royalties to Bob Fosse’s estate.
Does recently include two years ago?
If it does, the answer is Star Trek*.

At one point I was actively rooting for the ice monsters to eat Kirk.
Watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World last weekend. Terrible, annoying, unfunny dialogue, ADHD-moviemaking blur-cuts, every nerdy/angsty teenage movie cliche in the book, populated with every loser you’ve ever met or imagined. Two full hours of awful.
“Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.” I hate movies about kids and teenagers. And I loved “Fast Five,” kind of.
I watch “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” all the time and quote it frequently – so, perhaps my opinion is not well-founded.
Hoodwinked Too. The 3-D was great. But it’s one of the few movies I’ve seen that literally would have been better with the sound off. Horrid dialog, characterizations, humor, and plot. But did I mention it looked great?
While I wouldn’t call it one of the worst I’ve seen, one of the most disappointing to me that I’ve recently seen is the much lauded The Last King of Scotland. Silly me, I was expecting a movie about Idi Amin. I mean Oscar for Best Actor, right?
Forrest Whitaker was a great Amin, but he would’ve been even better if the movie had been about Amin!!! Instead what I saw should’ve been called Idi Amin’s Weasely Dumbass Friend from Scotland. Really, when he was strung up like A Man Called Horse, I just shrugged and said, “Serves you right. Next time you fuck, don’t fuck a mad killer dictator’s wife.”
I mean, come on, they only hinted at the madness of this guy’s reign. The rest of it was the cast lounging around the pool. Talk about dull.
Plus the total ripoff of A Man Called Horse just pissed me off.
I payed money to see “Skyline” in the theater. Still looking for someone to punch in the nuts for that waste of my time.
Red Riding Hood. (My current thread to that effect to be found here.)
I blame myself - the fact that it was made by the director of Twilight should have raised some red flags…
Seven Pounds
I was hoping for all of them to die, already. Gah… The jellyfish had all the best lines.
I’m sorry but Richard Harris just cant really hope to compete with Kerri Washington’s goddess butt.
Ditto everything you said.
Unfathomable, so very bad.
The Prophecy. Worst recently seen and possibly even on my list of worst, ever. Not even Christopher Walken, chewing up the scenery with a bloody mouth could save it.
The remake of Arthur. Just yawn.

I’d have to say Atlas Shrugged, Pt. 1. Just didn’t do it for me. Came across as bad propaganda.
J.
Let me know when you find him - I’ve got dibs on the next spot in line, my husband after me, and I know I’ve got at least one inlaw who’d like to join in.
The first 10 or so minutes were great. Then the movie flashed back about a day and I began vehemently hating the characters and wanting them all dead, and the movie just wasn’t delivering on that fast enough.
I Am Number Four.
I hated it because it started raising my expectations and then it crashed and burned. I should have stayed with the ‘this will be crap’ mindset. It had potential to be a good story, then they threw in a contrived teenage love story and then it couldn’t decide if it wanted to be an adult action movie or Twilight.
The only good parts were Number Six and Kevin Durand being his fabulous creeper self.
