Passion of the Christ has to be up there.

I mean, seriously, they take 2 hours and 10 minutes to show like 1 days events... And most of the movie is in slow motion of some Romans wailing on some dude. Boring as crap. I was sitting there, in the theater, trying to read my Raisinette box in the dark, when I realized that people were actually crying. I thought, "Wow, I've never actually seen people be bored to tears before."

What a terrible movie. Terminator 3 was way better, and that's not saying much.

Lost in Translation.

Direction was good, but the movie just sucked.

Every time I try to watch it, I get half way through the movie feeling like 3 hours passed by and I have to shut it off. Just realizing that I'm only half way. OMG.

:confused: You might be thinking of Leon...

Gods and Generals. Couldn't even finish the movie when I got sick of it and started watching at 32x.

Shoulda checked rotten tomatoes first. :D

i heard it was bad, but what do those other people know? obviously a lot more than i do...

don't get me wrong, i'm one of the least homophobic guys amongst my friends, but the movie had such a homo theme going on that it made me uncomfortable. if i were gay, this is the type of movie i would take a date out to :shocked:

I'm 23, I'm as far from goth as you can possibly be. I appreciate all sorts of music, but I HATE musicals, and that is the epitomy of the term "musical". You must be some kind of douchebag to like that movie.

From reading this thread it appears that the MTV generation does have real attention span problems.

My vote for most overrated boring movie is Ghandi. As proof, a friend of a friend once broke his leg. He went to the ER, got the leg set and throughly doped up, went home. That evening they were all watching Ghandi. The injured guy fell asleep 15 minutes into the movie and woke up with a start two hours later, saying (he thought truthfully) "Thank God I didn't miss anything."

Gerry. A movie about 2 guys that get lost in the desert.

Not the worst movie I have ever seen, there are some really long parts of the movie where it shows them walking through the desert. I had to hit the fast forward button a few times.
