Don't read the book then, because I'm pretty sure all the Coens did to "adapt the screenplay" was to copy and paste the original source.

I'm in. The Hobbit. Peter Jackson pretty much wrecked a great story. After seeing the final and last installment, I read the book just to remind myself of what actually happened in the story.
I feel your pain
Excellent PIF. Thanks for doing this.

A little poofier than I prefer
+1 Very disappointed in that one, especially after how much I enjoyed Peter Jackson's take on Lord of the Rings. The opening scene of the Hobbit with the dwarves showing up for the party was pretty good. But once they got into the battles - ugh. Did Jackson even read the book? And the using the tree as a shield thing - give me a break. The king was called Thorin Oakenshield because oak was a common material for shields to be made out of, not because 100 lbs oak branches make good shields. That may be a dumb thing to lose my suspense of disbelief over, but for me, the movie was all down hill after that. deep breath Okay, I feel better now.
I'm in. Just watched "Tammy" withy the wife. Thought I was going to laugh a bit, but was very disappointed. The previews depict it as a comedy but it def isn't. Needless to say we were both disappointed [emoji17]
I walked out of the last one. I've only walked out on 2 or 3 movies in my life, and I never imagined a Tolkien movie would be one of them. "The Fellowship of the Ring" was a great, great movie. But Peter Jackson has been on a steep slide ever since.
I'm in. Biggest let down? Any Chevy Chase movie.

Biggest let down would have to be El Camino. Clint Eastwood can't die in a movie, it's just not right!

The movies listed are really interesting. Seems most are what your average person would say is a bad movie but the few that are generally considered good movies are interesting.
It really looks like if the movie is based on a really good book, that is where the dis-like comes from.

2 movies we watched back to back for New Years Eve with the family. The Equalizer and Tammy. Not sure which was worse

The Interview has to be the biggest waste of time and money watching a movie I've ever had. The hype got me hook line and sinker. Don't let it happen to you.
