Worst Film of 2007

in the name of the king???

i didn't see it, but my roomate did and he said it was terrible. the reviews on rotten tomatoes don't suggest otherwise either!

i notably went to see no country for old men the same night. for some reason he and a few friends wanted to see that one...

Live Free or Die Hard

Wow, what a disappointment that was. Just a cheap, silly, over the top CGI-fest for the masses that had nothing to do with the excellence of the first one. It was like an insult to me as the original Die Hard is one of my favourite movies.
I can't believe how this got 80% on RT and 7.7 on imdb.

I would have to cast my vote for the steaming pile "Transformers". It was shallow, stupid and blasphemous to the original. Just about every person I talk to loved it but I don't think it could've sucked much more (unless the hottie wasn't in it!

)

Is that Die Hard 4.0? Cos if so, yes, this would have to be top of my list too (with Pirates III a close second). Both of these were a complete travesty compared to the earlier movies in their respective series.

Wow. I liked Die Hard 4. It was fun. I thought. Still not as good as the first Die Hard, but not bad as a brainless action flick.

Shows what I know . . .

i quite enjoyed die hard 4.0 too - i really wasn't expecting much but thought it was a lot of fun. sure nowhere near as good as the first 2 movies but also nowhere near the trainwreck it could have been

and like i said, die hard 4.0 was quite fun whereas spidey 3, pirates 3 and transformers were all a real chore to watch and in fact we switched transformers off with about 15 mins to go as we were losing the will to live. but what really gets me is i know lots of people who raved about those 3 flicks, saying how good they were so i was left wondering 'am i missing something here?' whilst watching them

i'm off to see sweeny todd tonight which seems to have really polarised reviewers over here - lots of 5 star reviews but also lots of 2 star ones so i'll be interested to see which end of the scale i'm inclined to feel about it after watching...
