Hairspray. Not bad, but I didn't understand what was so terrific about it.

Congo.

All I wanted was a b-movie with people being mauled by gorillas.

Instead I got a monkey speaking sign language.

Spiderman 3- could've been loads better and they probably should have gotten someone else for Eddie Brock/Venom.

Shrek The Third-like the first two, really didn't care for the third and have absolutely no desire to see anymore.

The Simpsons Movie- could've been better. It took them such a long time to make the movie and that was the best they could come up with.

Napoleon Dynamite- After hearing everyone raving about the movie and saying how funny it was and this and that and watching and sitting there and not laughing was just sad.

Superbad- Same thing as Napoleon Dynamite except there were a couple of moments that I thought were really funny like the scenes with Seth Rogen and Bill Hader.

I have to add Hairspray to my list. Walked out after 20 minutes.

Yes, SPIDERMAN 3 was a hideous waste of money, time, and talent, but I can't agree with the poster who bashed Topher Grace as Venom. I actually wished the producers had considered him for Peter Parker/Spiderman. Maybe he would have made that stupid emo/dark side thing work...

ANCHORMAN, PAY IT FORWARD, and X also make my list (they disappointed even my LOW expectations).

I will also agree with ANCHORMAN. I just don't know what's so funny about that film.

Superbad I agree with. The only funny parts in it were with the cops. Everything else was lame, and it ran 20 minutes too long.

Spider-Man 3 is my favorite of the three of them.
Regardless! If Spider-Man 3 and Hairspray and Superbad, etc., are the most disappointing films you've ever seen, then consider yourselves very lucky. Either that, or see more movies.

I will also agree with ANCHORMAN. I just don't know what's so funny about that film.

Everything.

"Rent" was absolutely the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. I allowed my excitable, high school mind get my hopes way too high and they were shattered by that incredible wasted opportunity. Whoever told Chris Columbus he can direct needs to be fired from the faculty at NYU.

"The Village" infuriated me. I don't ever remember leaving another movie actually angry at the filmmakers. That manipulative piece of crap made me swear off of M. Night Shyamalan.

The second Matrix movie. The original remains one of my favorite movies of all time, but the second one was terrible. I haven't even been able to bring myself to watch the third one yet.

Jane Campion's movies after THE PIANO: PORTRAIT OF A LADY, HOLY SMOKE, and IN THE CUT. The fact that all three still had some interesting moments and unique stylish touches made them all the more frustrating.

MINORITY REPORT -- I'd hoped that Spielberg had finally grown up, and this movie dashed those hopes for good. A pathetic hash of a bunch of pretty good ideas.

PLANET OF THE APES -- The Tim Burton remake. I don't know what I was expecting, but I had hoped for a half-decent movie. The first proof that Mark Wahlberg is a one-role actor, he should have called it quits after Dirk Diggler.

THE DEPARTED and GANGS OF NEW YORK -- two of Scorsese's most eagerly awaited and least interesting movies. GANGS is now only interesting to see Day Lewis' dress rehearsal for THERE WILL BE BLOOD. THE DEPARTED, well, where can I begin?
