Movies you thought would suck...and did!!!!
Majestic-thought it would stink from the reviews and previews. Rented it with an open mind, found out I was correct!
Battlefield:Earth- used a free pass to get into this one. Looked dumb, it was dumb.
Valentine-only went because friends wanted to see it. DUMB!!!
Barry Lyndon- Saw bits of it on TV, looked dull. Tried watching it, fell asleep. BORING!!!
Amadeus- Good music, but I knew from what I had seen on TV I should have stayed away. BORING!!!
Astronaut's Wife- A friend let me borrow it, so no money lost. But still D-U-M-B!
Cutthroat Island-Any film where the director's wife is the main star signals you should run for the hills. You would think with $92 million invested they could have done a decent job.
The Postman- I only saw a little bit of it on TV, and it was so cringe inducing I wanted to throw up.

All of the Star Wars films.
I can say that in this thread....so don't try to scare me!
I just don't believe the hype.
When I saw those "movie goers" who line up weeks, even months before the release dates of AOTC and PM...
I just laugh out loud...and throw them lotion.!!!
