Avatar. From the cheesy and predictable plot to the shallow and poorly developed characters. That's 3 hours of my life I wish I could have back. The computer graphics were pretty amazing though, so it *looked* spectacular. Too bad it was an awful movie.
Got a tip for us?

How could they have better developed the characters? Most movies, there is not a lot of time to allow characters to develop. What you see is what you get, except for the characters who change their perspective during the course of the movie- The paraplegic marine, the scientists, the head of the project, the Na'vi, the macho marine, all with different view points, prejudices, and motivations. You saw the corporation and the para-military entrench in their views, while the hero, his girl friend, scientists, and the Na'vi tribe developed into acceptance and resistance, no?
I like Robert Downy but I thought the latest Sherlock Holmes was horrible story telling and a waste of my time, reconfirmed by wife's agreement.
Thinking back I love several of the comic-to-movie movies, mostly Spiderman, Mystery Men, the X-Men series, The Punisher, but the worst were Sin City and Dare Devil, as in no redeeming qualities. Yech!!
Here are some of the worst movies I've ever seen:
(ones I've walked out on in the theather)
Pulp Fiction
Schindler's List
Goodfellas
The Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
The Matrix
Raiders of the Lost Arc

Seriously? You walked out of Schindler's List? Did the historical value of it go right over your head?
That's just one of those movies that everybody should see for the historical significance of it alone. If you went to Schindler's List to be entertained, then you picked the wrong movie.
That actually reads like a best movies of all time list, or at least whats been on AMC for the last few years. I'd love to hear about the ones you actually liked!
your username - "obeygiant" - do you know Shepard Fairey?
I used to hang out with many of his contemporaries.
Probably Freddy Got Fingered and From Justin to Kelly
Actually, Tom Green was fantastic in that movie. Gigli is in my top 10 as well. Ben Aflack is just amazing. I cried at the end.
Oh, don't worry Lee. There is a good chance you won't like the story, dialogue, characters, etc, etc, but it really is worth seeing just for the visual masturbation.
Highlander II. I got 10 people to go to opening night because it was going to be so awesome.
They barely spoke to me ever again after that.
After that was Firewall with Harrison Ford. Got stuck watching that crapfest during a "team building exercise" where my team went out to eat, and watch a movie. Conveniently, no talking amongst ourselves, so no team building. Just a glorified carpool. But still, man that movie was awful.

Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to arrive thirty minutes late, the character development made me cringe.
To me, The Shawshank Redemption might be the most underrated movie of all time.

OK... I probably shouldn't post this but I will anyway.
Worse movie I ever saw - Schindler's List. Liam Neeson is an awful actor. The movie was historically inaccurate. In the movie Neeson's character orders the workers to make ammunition that doesn't work. Sorry, Spielberg if any factory in Nazi Germany had such a high failure rate; the owners wouldn't have been around very long.

"Liam Neeson" always sounded like a brand of Asian style noodle soup in a microwave cup to me. I could never get past that to watch the dude perform.
