the most dissapointing movie I have seen

to start off, I love the musicians involved with this movie. they are all really creative and I love the material. Sadly enough none of them can act, and who ever wrote this wrote a better 60 synopsis for the trailer, than the whole  movie.

then there are the the messed up sex scenes with clay. i have never beeen skiddish about that sort of stuff, but sitting there watchiong a piece of cley shoved into a clay vagina for 5 minutes made me feel dirty or something.

not what I thoughtt, great idea though

The movie would have been better with the sound off.  The dialogue was ridiculous.  It was like totally unscripted; they may as well have had the actors role play the whole scene.  The trailer was better than the whole movie.  I thought from the trailer that this would be a great movie--but what a waste of my time and money.  The action and special effects were good--too bad the writters and script were so terrible.  No wonder I didn't even know it was in the theater until it had passed through and was on it's way to DVD no one dared admit they had seen it.

This movie was a real let down.  The characters were weak and cartoon like and the plot got really stupid.  I found myself wondering why I was wasting my time watching this movie and not cutting my toenails or something.

I really wish I could give negative stars. It really was the worse movie I had ever seen. I was expecting some epic theatrics from a "big budget" film, but it eas so terrible.  The "giant" was just some fat Atilla the Hun looking guy the whole movie shouting that he was god. And then David prays...and more shouting...and more praying. That's pretty much the whole movie. And then toward the end Goliath calls for his "best sword" from the blacksmith, then proceeds to fight David with the exact same sword. You would think in the end there would be an awesome fight scene, but to no avail there was none. In fact not a single swing of a sword was swung. And in the end David just casually chucks the rock after a few knarly stare down circles much like in the fashion that a child would. And that one little, not even well placed rock bounced off his metal helmet and somehow killed him. Was this meant to be a childs movie? Perhaps watch 300 and take another crack at it?

I rented this movie off of a reccomendation that this movie would be funnier than Anchorman and Dodgeball both of which i haven't yet seen. I thought this movie focused way too much on the 2 stupid guys chasing them, and the maudlin of the 3 friends just talking amonst themselves about the death of a fellow friend.

There were funny parts, and there were very bad formulatic jokes. and the overall drug part was dumb. I hate it when they bring drugs into a movie as something funny, I hate drugs. they are the abomination of this world. and just seeing htem onscreen makes me angry and ruins the movie from there on.

the funniest parts of the whole movie was ina deleted scene which they cut, it was the parking space part, where this crazy guy just acts crazy to Seth green. it was hilarious.

This movie had the actors to be really great but most of the movies plot was really stupid.

I could have watched this movie early (before released in Theater), boy I'm glad I didn't. I waited till it was $3.99. Still to much $. It was billed as an Action, Suspense. There was no action very little if any suspense. The end was even more disappointing than the movie. I guess there were trying to do the sequel thing but it made it just that much more awful.

Where do I start with this movie?

!Spoilers are ahead !

Batman gets with Catwoman.....after how hard she sold him out? SHE NEARLY HAD HIM KILLED BEFORE BEING IMPRISONED.

Batman has enough time to paint a gigantic flaming bat on a bridge while people are literally being executed on the hour? Way to go, bats !

The Rocky style training in the prison was a joke, culminating in Wayne smashing the TV Bane had put in there for him. Watching this scene was painfully embarassing.

Only a teenage girl (and Bruce Wayne ) have been able to make the prison jump to freedom? Wow, not saying alot for all those hardened criminals. What a joke.

Lets send 90 pct of the police force into the sewers !!! Really?

What the hell was the point of the airplane scene at the beginning? To show Bane could double as agent 007? They could have cut the scene out of the film and it wouldnt have been missed (like the rest of the boring first 35 or so minutes of the movie)

I could go on, and theres much more, but suffice to say , the movie was an epic letdown that somehow managed to make over a billion dollars just by riding the coattails of the "Dark Knight" film. I have no desire to sit through this movie again, and its a real shame.

The ring that I saw was in no way even reminesint of a good horror movie, in fact it should be placed in an entirly diffrent genre altogether.  Most of the people that I know that liked this movie always say that it's good because of it's amazing storyline, well let me tell you somthing.  The storyline is proabaly the only good thing about this movie.  It wasn't scary, and after awhile it never really went any where.  You only see the girl kill two people, and you never actually "see" her do it, which angered me immensly.  Also the so called payoff ending of this movie was also dissapointing, after watching all of this amazing storyline filled movie, and figuring out all of the secrets, the best Gore Verbanski could come up with for an ending was having the girl come out of the Tv and show her move anround some guys house for a few seconds of footage?  I was expecting some much more, and was largly dissapointed, I wanted to be scared and I wasn't.  This is a good drama movie, but as a horror film it falls flat about five minuets in, and I'm rating it as a horror film. I hope she comes for me so I'll finally find out how she kills, and I won't have to see this movie ever again

This movie went no where and was a sleeper - it was really one of the worst movies I've watched in a long time.  Maybe because there just was no story - BORED TO TEARS or YAWNS I should say!!

I saw this movie last night and I was so disappointed. Crummy acting and writing and a lame story. I groaned repeatedly and was looking forward to the next feature. When I found out only this movie was being shown, I felt totally ripped off. I give this movie 2 stars because they at least tried. I cannot believe it is getting awards. Has the world gone mad?
Horrible, horrible, and horrible is my description for the movie and my wasted two hours.

I went to see this movie with my girlfriend and her two sons, ages 8 and 12.  Within 30 minutes we were all snickering at this film, and totally disgusted with it.  We left and the theater manager kindly gave us our manager back.  It is worth noting that a male adult, female adult, and two children all disliked this movie.

Here is what I thought made it so poor.  To begin with, the subtitles flashed on the screen quite quickly.  I am a fast reader and barely made it through them before they were gone.  The type face they were in seemed hard to read to me.

Where this movie really lost me was in the much vaunted fight scenes.  It was ludicrous.  These people were standing sideways on porch railings, hanging upside down from the edges of a roof, and leaping 30 feet.  When you kick someone, they to do not two two backflips and land 20 feet away.

Some people describe this as beautifully choreographed.  I call it, fake, unrealistic, and so far-fetched that it made the entire movie more ridiculous than a cartoon.  There was one scene where thousands of arrows were raining down, and this man and woman were twirling in front of them knocking them all to the ground with their swords and clothing.  This utter departure from any sense of reality is not what I want to see.

This movie was the worst movie Ive ever seen, Waste of 90 mins of time. I wish I could get paid for the time I wasted watching it. And no I "get It"

It is not art.

This was just about the worst movie I have ever seen.  Terrible acting and terrible action sequences make for the most boring and uninspired waste of time.  I recommend not seeing this movie... If you do not heed these words of wisdom you will immediately regret having not done so once you see the van/truck thing that the nightwatch drives around in.  I found myself laughing at this movie, and fast forwarding through the annoyingly slow parts.

A terrible movie for people who like schlock and what comes from directors who just seem to have cash thrown at them and are allowed to make movies.  People who make movies like this should be put in jail, along with the unintelligent goons who actually respond to it with delight.

I promise I wanted this to be a great movie!!! This was the WORST movie that I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot!!! I must admit that I did watch it in its entirety, but the whole time I was saying "This is the dumbest sh*t that I have ever seen!" The acting was horrible and the storyline was almost a little to far-fetched! The only good thing about this movie was the STUDS!!!! Now they are what kept me watching I think!!!

I am in disbelief at what the other reviewers have written.  Perhaps we watched different films?  This has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen.  I was thoroughly disappointed, especially since this is a Spike Lee  film.  While the actors gave stellar performances, you can only do so much  with so little.  Adrien Brody was excellent playing the only character of  any depth.  Every stereotype, good or bad, of a NY'er and/or an Italian is  depicted in this film.  It does nothing to shatter the image, it  perpetuates and exaggerates it. For example, if I had a dime for everytime  the F-word was used, I could retire at 25.
This movie is disjointed and  the characters are unsympathetic.  The plot does not involve the audience  and seemingly goes nowhere.  My greatest concern through the movie was not  about the characters and what will happen next, but wondering when will  this movie end?  It just kept going and going, with no end in sight.  The  only saving grace was Spike Lee's paper cut-out portrayal of a local New  York news figure, John Jeffries- a caricature of real life John Johnson of  ABC.  As a Long Islander, I enjoyed that trip down memory lane, but even  that couldn't outweigh how bad this movie was. I am sorry I gave up 140  minutes of my life for this drivel.

I'm a huge fan of the original movie and even though I had heard bad reviews on this movie, I was hopeful I was wrong.  Sadly, this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.  It's two hours of my life I will never get back  Don't waste your time.
