Films you've switched off half way through or walked out of

[AndyRM]

Not only was Highlander 2 a truly dreadful film, but it was so disappointing after the excellence of Highlander (the one where the Frenchman played the Scottish warrior, and the worlds most famous Scot played the Egyptian).
In fact, Highlander 2 was so bad that I've never felt inclined to watch Highlander 3...

There's another 3...

Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

The most inane stereotypical American ideal of Europe, really sickening.

Good idea. Stick with that

Feeling a bit smug here, I'm one of those lucky Highlander fans that was warned no to watch the second one and actually listened. Still never seen any of the sequels and probably never will.

You are The Shpaniard, and I claim my five poonds.

Michael Clayton.

I don't care if it's an Oscar winner, after half an hour I was very bored.

We were drunk on new years eve and realised tomorrow was going to be a right off and the critically slammed Highlander 2 opened in the morning. We agreed to go and hate watch it and were not disappointed. We laughed all the way, much to the consternation of the half dozen there to enjoy it.

Highlander 3 is better because it completely ignores the existence of 2. It's just an old school lazy sequel.

Transporter 2, I lost the ability to suspend my disbelief when he jumped the car off a ramp, twisted it upside down in midair, and scraped a bomb off the bottom of the car with a crane hook as he passed.

Apparently if you still haven't had enough Highlander, the TV series is quite good. I wouldn't know as I followed my brothers advice and never watched 2 or 3.

I wish I'd had a prior warning. What's most annoying (apart from the exiles from the planet Zeist bollcks, and all the gaping plot holes) is... Highlander doesn't need a sequel. The story ended. I should have known but even after all these years... it still hurts.

Transporter 1 was one film i should have switched off after the opening action scene... that was total and utter pants too. Luc Besson should hang his head in shame for his involvement (but then again, he's done a few clangers now).

Yep, 2 & 3 were a waste of time.
The series was good, if a little repetitive, and introduced me to the music of Jim Byrnes.
Highlander the Raven is totally non-memorable (if that a word). Just a means to try and make another spin off.

After all this farting about we still don't get a proper soundtrack album for the first movie?!! Gordon Bennett what does it take? Is it like Dr Who where dimwits collect the tapes the BBC are desperate for just so they know it's them denying the world something nice?

Blimey I'm ranty for a Sunday

Fast and Furious. I even convinced myself that I have to watch the movie with an open mind (there was nothing else on and I just wanted to watch sometbing).

But with some movies, you really do need a very very open mind. I just couldn't cope.

That's another problem with Highlander... it's one of those 'mtv' movies with entire pop songs rammed in the middle. If it's not a musical it's not necessary.
