Both Percy Jackson movies. I love Percy Jackson books so much, but the movies left me disappointed and angry.

I second the Percy Jackson movies- they were so completely butchered that they were close to being unrecognizable. After that would have to be the Harry Potter movies, not because they were bad movies, but because so many of the details that really added depth to the stories were left out, and it went from being this immensely complex world to a very superficial story line comparatively.

Where the Red Fern Grows and Marley and Me. Hated both with a passion.

The original The Italian Job, I absolutely loved the movie but every time I watch the ending where they are balancing off the edge of the cliff I really want to know what happens next. I suppose it is a good annoyance because I have rewatched the film mover 20 times.

*********** SPOILER **********

The Sixth Sense


There is no way Malcolm could NOT have known (or at least figured out in a year) what he was.

I got into a heated discussion on this topic in an IMDb forum and had many people agreeing with me and at least an equal number saying I was wrong.

A Stephen King movie, Christine, the book was horrorific and the movie just made me angry that they left all the really scary parts out!

Captain America: Civil War. So much of it didn't make sense from a narrative and character perspective and any interesting part of it just got shoved to the side for Bucky.

Avengers: Endgame probably? I mean aside from annoyance, I felt grief and anger and other emotions but still I was so annoyed with the Russo brothers for killing off my favorite characters.

The Shining. I loved the book, but the movie was underwhelming, especially after all the praise I heard for it.

Agreed! They are not good movies in the least, I can understand your frustration.

The Blair Witch Project. That movie was hyped for me by everyone I knew. I saw it and was like "...Okay?"

Mean Girls is the most moronic movie in the history of movies. I watched it with a friend. Five minutes into the movie, I was so disappointed I wanted to turn it off. :doh:
Heart! We will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!
