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....

I really wanted to like I Am Legend. But dear god, what they did with the ending. And the rubberface zombies. The whole thing was shockingly bad.

EXACTLY. I just shook my head and told my brother (who watched it with me), "Because we can't have the hero realize he's the asshole, can we?"

I loved the book, so I should have known better than to have hopes for the movie, but... Nicole Kidman was actually on my dream castlist for Mrs Coulter since I saw her in Stepford Wives. She can definitely pull of the creepy cold "metallic" lady who in the scene before was so warm and charming.
But the movie was just... wrong. Lord Asriel looked lifesize. Bear armour was pretty and flimsy looking. Lyra was not enough of a pouty, half-spoiled-half-wild warrior-queen.
