****, did this with "The Campaign" tonight with Will Ferrel. It was a free DVR On-demand movie but after 15 minutes I switched to Saving Private Ryan.

I expected that to be better but it was awful, I made it through, it was ****ing reeruned. Ive always been 50/50 with Will Ferrell, he can be hilarious but he can also get on your damn nerves.

I like plenty of dumbass movies and usually like Ferrell's stuff, no matter now dumb the premise. But this was just absurdly bad.

Should I have stuck with The Campaign? I was gathering from the start that VFX weren't going to be present and in a movie that poorly written and without visual effects, not much point sticking around. |

Movies are so polarizing today that it becomes ever more difficult to produce a good film. Man of Steel is the perfect example. People either love it or hate it and generally for the same reasons. |

I couldn't make it through Bad Santa. Horrible, flaming pile of a movie. Another one that I can't say is terrible, but I couldn't make it through, is There Will Be Blood. I can see how it got critical acclaim, but it was like watching paint dry.

Wow, I totally disagree on that one. That was one of the best movies for how they built slow, suspense over a long clip. Not a movie I can watch a lot because of how dark it is, but one of my favorite movies of the past few years.

Agreed with all but not being able to watch it often. I'll watch that movie any time it's on!

I liked There Will be Blood. But it was really really different than anything I'd seen before. They used little things like silence in the right places. Did you notice that there wasn't any talking at all during the first 15 minutes straight? No backdrop music, just the sounds of the action. Made it extra lonely. But I can see how some people might hate it.

A few others that came to mind were I Am Legend, John Q, and Eight Crazy Nights. Couldn't make it through any of these.
