The most disappointing film I've ever watched

I've always completely agreed with Mark Kermode about Tarantino. With the exception for a couple of movies, mainly Jackie Brown, his movies are awful.
Everyone sounds like Tarantino himself.

Don't get me started on the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Depp is terrible, and then you have Orlando Bland and Ikea Knightley. It's like watching two pieces of furniture trying to act.

Then there is pretty much every Michael Bay movie.
 
Flight of the phoenix, the Dennis quaid one from the mid 2000's.

They even shoe horned bloody 'Hey Yah' in the middle of it, along with the obligatory gunfights and explosions.

Missed the whole point of the book.

With you on Michael Bay (although the rock was good fun tbf).

Same for Zack Snyder. I enjoyed Watchmen but other than that.....directors who massively struggle with the concept of less is sometimes more.

The original is bad enough, mainly due to Charlie Hunnam's dreadful acting/cockney geezer accent

Once upon a time in America.

Once upon a time in the west is one of my favourite films. Morricone did the soundtrack. It stars Robert de niro. It is critically acclaimed.

I thought it was a terrible mess. Tonally it was all over the place. The music seems so inappropriate in so many scenes and just weirdly fades out. That dreadful cover of yesterday. A lot of the acting and dialogue seemed corny. The ending was bizarre with the "congressman" only introduced in a bit of news footage. It feels like a big bit of the plot at the end just got left on the floor, despite it being nigh on four hours long.

Worst thing there was a complete lack of suspense. Even the one chase scene in the warehouse lacked any sort of tension.

And I really didn't need to see an eleven year old Jennifer Connelly's ****.

The film got released massively butchered in the edit for the theatrical release. It was restored to a much longer version after Leone's death. And this is the version hailed as a masterpiece.

I just don't understand. I mean it wasn't all bad. Two and a half stars out of five maybe. I was expecting so much more. I mean he even did the "it was all a dream" thing.

Got to disagree, especially regarding the soundtrack
