Lost in Space was a real stinker. That CGI thing dropped it down quite a few points.
Dark City. Mostly because the trailer made it look a lot cooler to me. I liked the movie but it didn't come close to meeting my expectations. The three Star wars prequels. more to come... |

My greatest movie disappointment was an easy pick: Starship Troopers.
One of the greatest novels ever, one of the worst movies ever. I was actually MAD about one of the great conservative books being turned into a crap liberal parody. |

Cabin Fever. I thought it looked like a good mutant virus spooky movie from the preview, like 28 days later. I was so WRONG!

Good one. I liked the movies but they were still a huge letdown compared to the impact the first one had for me. I didn't read Starship Troopers before the movie and it was STILL a disappointment... but I still find it fun to watch on occasion. |

Starship Troopers, Bar None
Many other movies didn't live up to what I expected but it's the only one that actually pissed me the F off. May the ghost of RAH smite whowever was involved with that. Second would be the FIRST Star Wars prequal, they were hard to do and in my opinion Episode One was the only one that really fell on it's face. It does have redeming qualities though. The Matrix's (Matricies?)I knew couldn't be as cool as the first one. The introduction to the concept is what was so cool about 1. The middle one is kind of lame and I will pass over it while going through the HBOs. The third I will always stop on to see if the "docking bay battle" is on. |

Its hard to criticize sequels. Matrix was great, they weren't prepared to do a sequal and they didn't have a plot.
Star wars, you can't expect to be suprised and dazzeled every time. What pissed me off about starship troopers is that they had a fantatic book to go off of and they just pissed all over it. No excuses, they decided to make that movie suck |

I really need to buy a copy of that book. Everytime someone talks about Heinlein's work I think about that crapfest of a movie and I laugh. I'll add Die Hard 2 to the list. |

Starship Troopers? That wasn't as bad as my choice...
Firebirds OMG that movie sucked ass. "It's the Army version of the movie 'TopGun'!" The absolute worst was Battlefield Earth but that one we all knew was going to reek, so it doesnt count. |

Event Horizon - heard so much about it, I was so stoked to get scared shitless and by the end I was pissed that I could sleep that night.
Episodes 1-3 of Star Wars - 'Nuff said. Hunt For Red October - Man, that was boring. Good ending, but it took way too long to get to. Guess it's a guy thing. Pulp Fiction - I don't see the big deal. A few memorable scenes, but a lot if it seemed really random. Flame away... |

American Beauty - It was a good movie as far as the male liberation goes, but it had to get politically correct (male gun owners and military guy are repressed gay Nazi) and the kid next door is a cretin no matter what he thinks he is. The ending is simply atrocious. It's as if the writers couldn't come up with a good ending, so they had the guy shot (again, the politically corect "gun bad, repressing homosexual urges bad, etc") Had the movie focused on the couple's marital relationship, it would have really deserved those Oscars

Good one. I thought that would be a cool movie... but every time I tried to watch it, it was like it sent out a sublminal signal to sleep. Boring. I didn't even see it to the end. |

I was less PO'd about the typical Lib spin as I was that the movie had abso-frickin-lutely nothing to do with the book, other than some heavy borrowing! |

Another Movie I had hopes for but was disappointed in was Eugenie.
BOTD Warning if you Cut & Paste. She's covered but it's rather close. http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/cover_art1/eugenie.jpg The Trailer had more nudity in it than any feature length movie I had ever watched before. I’m talking about Full Frontal Nudity here. I wasn’t quite old enough to go see it at the time; it was Rated X. Flash forward a couple (!) decades. Blue-Underground.com came out with it a few years ago. I grabbed it and watched it as soon as it came in the mail. And while I enjoyed the nudity, the movie as a whole disappointed me. 20+ years of waiting down the drain! |

I have got to agree with you on this one. Although the movie was somewhat entertaining, it was a $hit dump compared to the book. Starship Troopes should be required reading for everyone prior to enlisting in the infantry.

Seeing Kelly Carlson naked in that movie didn't even make it worth watching.  It was that much of a stinker. Her nude scenes were pretty short and dark. |

Probably "Pearl Harbor."
I so wanted someone to do a modern film along the lines of "Tora, Tora, Tora." Obviously it didn't even come close. And "Jurassic Park II: The Lost World" had massive potential and they screwed it up all to hell. As much fun as the original was "The Lost World" could have been even better. |
