Since the thread is about the LAST one, there is absolutely only one answer, unless you watched all those movies simultaneously.

Spring Breakers
Stoker

Then again maybe I should not have been disappointed since I have yet to see a film by Harmony Korine that I have liked and the only film by Park Chan-wook that I have liked is Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

Thor: The Dark World

I loved Hemsworth and Hiddleston, but everyone else was entirely wasted. Least compelling villain in the MCU thus far, just edging out Rourke's Whiplash.

Yeah, I had to turn it off. I'm not sure what they were going for.

Re: Last movie that disappointed you?

I was going to say Identity Thief, but then I realized had ZERO expectations as Seth Gordon makes piece-of-shit movie after piece-of-shit movie (even while dumbass audiences seem to eat this crap up)... and even with zero expectations, it was still worse than I thought imaginable.

But not a disappointment.

Hmm... I'll go with Room 237. Imagine listening to a bunch of badly-recorded Internet shitheads making specious claims about a movie they barely understand for two hours. While drilling holes in your feet.

Re: Last movie that disappointed you?

So, if I have to keep it to the last movie, it would have to be Oldboy.

Re: Last movie that disappointed you?

And the reason I thought Elysium was mediocre was that I didn't like that a white boy was the savior of the universe. Why was Matt Damon the only white guy on Earth? All I kept hearing in the back of my mind was Hooper X from Chasing Amy.

Re: Last movie that disappointed you?

I had a few:
The Heat - Had a good deal of hype and wound up being a pretty much Laugh-free comedy, long and dull.

Man of Steel - After hearing generally good comments on it, I found myself bored and irritated by it.

Pleasant surprises:
The Wolverine - After hearing some mixed reviews I went in apprehensive, IMO, second best in the franchise next to X2. (Saw the Extended only)

Elysium - D9 was boring as hell and word of mouth was pretty poor on this one, but despite being heavy handed as hell it was a surprisingly entertaining flick. The only thing that really stuck out was Jodie Foster's god awful accent.

Easily Elysium. I loved D9 and this was a waste of my time. Miscasting galore, boring action, lame preachy message that wasnt handled as well as in D9.

Re: Last movie that disappointed you?

Star Trek into Darkness. I thought the first reboot was overrated, but it had an ingenious plot device to establish a new continuity and has a nice energetic script. Into Darkness was weirdly paced and wasted Benedict Cumberbatch. Mainly, these two movies have reduced Star Trek to one-note explosion-filled action pics. The previous movies at least tackled some deeper concepts about character or an analysis on the impact of certain technologies. Now it's become just another space battle genre series. Old episodes of TNG were much more provocative than Into Darkness.

I was initially interested but as time moved on I grew less and less interested. Once reviews confirmed my worst suspicion, I'm glad I stay away.

Oh, I forgot Rock Of Ages. Incredibly awesome live stage musical... beyond fucking POS awful movie. They completely changed and totally gutted both the story and the characters to the point where it barely resembled the original show.

I got free tickets to an early screening and still felt I massively overpaid.

Yeah, that is exactly how I felt about Lee's OldBoy. Really wanted to see it, was hoping it wasn't a waste of celluloid, but after wom and reviews my interest waned and thus I will wait for home release and decide if I want to buy or just rent. Too bad too.

For me it would be The Last Days on Mars. It looked interesting but it was boring as hell.

Before this came out I was expecting to be really disappointed in it going off of the trailers and whatnot. It actually wound up being one of my favorite superhero movies of the year though. I thought Jackman gave a good performance and I thought it was an interesting choice to make the movie more of a Wolverine character study rather than a full on action movie. It has some problems, mainly the villains but aside from that the film was overall pretty damn enjoyable I thought.

I may be in the minority, but I thought it was one of the best superhero movies I've seen, period, and I thought it was the best of the X-men series.
