[Movies] "But I wanted to love it!"

[kobold]

Are there any movies that you just wanted to love so bad but couldn't?

I wanted to love "Haunted Mansion" because that ride was so amazing. But I knew there were gonna be problems the minute Eddie Murphy was announced....

Reign of Fire. I am so hoping that some day, someone somewhere will write a fucking awesome dragon movie. I hope against hope that a PERN movie will happen, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

I loved Reign of Fire if only for Matthew McHaunagay (how the fuck do I spell his name?) as the uber-roided thugboy.

Well, they announced at Comic Con a new "Haunted Mansion," and it is Eddie Murphy free.

And Guillermo del Toro-ful, so I'm optimistic.

Welp, I just came.

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

I thought the first was fantastic. My wife and I spent the entire time in the second movie going, "WTF is this shit?" It was like the director took everything that people liked about the first movie and tuned it up to eleven.

Seriously, what the feck?

I don't know, but I thought Rocco's little cameo was a piece of shit and none of the actor's, save Billy Connolly and William DaFoe, came through the years between the two films well.

The newest X-files movie. I tried SO HARD to enjoy it. Goddamnit.

This is exactly what I came here to say. I was SO excited about that movie, I was practically giddy when we got to the theater, and I tried to like it SO hard... but yeah. That was so fucking awful, and I was so sad.

Lost in Space, my folks always watched the reruns of that show when I was a kid. The movie even had Gary Oldman for fuck's sake. To bad none of it worked out into something watchable.
