Movies that weren't what you expected

[MamaRocks]

I never thought I'd like the Transporter movies . They seemed so " guy-ish ". I saw the 1st one and loved it so much! The effects are awesome and I bought the 2nd one without even watching it first!

Dairy of a Mad Black Woman---I loved it. It was funny but also made me cry once or twice. I didn't think I would like it. I'd watch it 10 times.

Talladega Nights---sucked, a couple of funny lines but truly terrible.

Anchorman---THE only movie I have actually left the movie theater while watching. I like stupid humor but this was a snoozer.

Dreamgirls---I agree that it did not live up to expectations.

Knocked Up-Wasn't remotely interested in seeing but found it to be really funny. Was a little too long though.

Premontion-Really wanted to see it at the theater but had to settle for DVD. What a freakin' let down. Glad I waited.

Fracture-I really like Ryan Gosling and couldn't wait to see this one. Especially with Anthony Hopkins. It was the first movie I have seen RG in that I felt like the role was wrong for him. It was a let down. The plot was still really good but it hurt to watch him struggle through it.

Yeah I didnt think I would like Knocked Up either but it was really good.

Another vote for "The Village" here. They should not have marketed that as a horror flick when it was nothing close to that. That's why people got so pissed off.

I didnt want to see transformers but I really enjoyed it, I thought it was awesome.

i saw 2 weeks notice and the trailer had a LOT of stuff in it that wasnt in the movie. In fact it was almost a completely different movie! (that sucked!)

I thought Sin City was going to be good, but I just found it really tedious.

Lost In Translation got a lot of hype, but I thought it was kind of blah.

spider-man 3

the promo was great

but the movie disappoint me

big time

 

[Sheikah]

I agree with The Village even though I liked it when I got over the anger of feeling cheated lol. They did market it as a horror movie and it's not... by any means. When I finally got over that I thought the concept presented was pretty cool though, makes you think a bit.

40 Year Old Virgin- I didn't even want to see it but I found it hilarious so I'm glad I did.

Pan's Labyrinth- I loved the damn thing, but if you were expecting a fairytale (and everybody probably was) you were in for quite a surprise, but those surprises I like!

I agree about Lost in Translation. I was really excited to see it and it was booooring.

Transformers:

only watched it cause a friend and the fiancé told me it´s awesome. I thought it would be a typical guy movie but I love it!

Pirates of the Carribbean II:

Like everybody, I loved the first part. But the second was so lame and looong...I fell asleep in the movie theater and everytime I woke up I kept praying it would be over soon so we could all leave

The Pursuit of Happyness:

thought it would be just a nice movie about the meaning of life but instead it made me seriously depressed and I cried a lot during that movie. Don´t get me wrong, it was fantastic, but I won´t watch it again cause it made me so sad.

Disturbia:

all my US friends told me to go see it. Major dissappointment, it was nothing special. The actor who played the psycho neighbor was awesome though!

Mr and Mrs Smith.

I expected there to be more romance in it since everyone praised about Brad and Angelina's chemistry in the movie. After all, this movie had no plot...just lots of action!

[Pinkgirl84]

Room 1408: it was not all craked up to be, not scary at all and was weird

Transformer: totally rocked, really interested MUST GO SEE THE MOVIE IF YOU HAVE NOT!!!!!!!

Halloween, Rob Zombie Remake: Better then the firt original, describes mike myers as how he becomes a serial killer, very very very good plot line and story behind him and his anger

 

[lynnda]

I went to see Why Did I Get Married this past weekend.....good movie but not near as funny as I had expected. Definately a good rental though!

We took my husband's daughter to see the Disney movie the Gameplan starring the Rock......it was soooo good! We all laughed throughout the whole movie!

 

[emily_3383]

Yes the Game plan was really cute and funny!

Yeah i dont watch any M. Night Shamalan films just because of The Village.

 

[lauren84]

The Village did suck...

[CellyCell]

I liked Disturbia, haha. But I won't want to see it again... once is enough.

Transformer was really good for an action flick but the whole plot was so ridiculously dumb when you think about it and I tend to think about it. Too many plot holes for my taste.

Eurotrip - my mom sometimes rents movie she thinks I like and I saw this thinking "Wtf?!", but it turned out to be hella funny.

Millions - it's a kiddie flick but what a great film for anyone!

I forgot about this one. I saw no chemistry at all. Although Brad is always hot.

OMG! I feel the same way! I did NOT want to see it, and was angry actually that my friend brought it to watch...but I SERIOUSLY laughed so hard! I STILL can't believe I enjoyed it!
