The Matrix. It's c*** (not the best) and the funny part is everyone secretly agrees it's c*** (not the best) which is why they defend it by banging on about it's revolutionary special effects and awsome fight sequences. All flash no substance. 'No movies ever this level of special effects before' Who gives a f***? Before the hulk no movies ever had a green C.G.I man before. The fact is Keanu Reeves wasn't a bad actor do you think he's built a career on luck? His acting was wodden because he couldn't emote when there's nothing to emotionally connect to.

Many of you will tell me I'm wrong, and if you do. Tell me why without mentioning C.G.I or bullet time.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

Pearl bloody Harbour. 3 hours I'll never get back with 15 minutes of okay CGI action in the middle.

I love the Matrix (only the first one mind)!

I love LOTR trilogy!

I love Star Wars!

But Ghost Rider. Yeah. Rubbish. But I loved the Marvel comic!

I sat through Ghost Rider for the comedic value. I love Nicolas Cage's films because they crack me up; he's as bad an actor as Keanu Reeves, his hairstyle always has me in stitches and the facial expressions he pulls when he's overacting is genius. The man is unique. Ghost Rider was hilarious. (If you fancy a proper, good laugh go and watch The Wicker Man remake - it's the funniest film I have seen in a long time. Some of the dialogue is so bad it's actually quite good).

The Godfather

There I've said it. It's out there. It's an hour and a half of nothing happening and then some violence at the end. Utter pony

It's one of those rare film series where the sequel is far better than the original.

oh greedo, and we had just become facebook friends, why would you commit such cinematic sacrilege? The first two Godfather films are both Flawless.

If we're putting iconic movies like that on the list though, how about Taxi Driver, now THATS tedious drivel.

The Mission. I lost what felt like 3 hours of my life watching that movie. I want those hours back if that's possible.

2001: A Space Odyssey .


I mean what the hell is it about eh? I bet most people watch the opening 15 minutes, with the dawn of man stuff, the bone is thrown up, nice clasical music, then... what's on the other side?

Simply the most boring movie.. I cant sit through it.

and Titanic.

This film lost me when they had a screen filling close up of very modern david westernedge playing cards.( Leo decaprio wins his ticket with them)

Historical accuracy my *rse.
