Movies I didn’t finish
There are lots of movies I didn’t finish, but here are some of them, to give you an idea of the kind of movies I’m not particularly interested in. I watched half an hour to an hour of most of these before giving up. In the old days I would watch a movie all the way through but these days I stop if it’s not doing it for me.
- After Hours
- OK at first, but then bad things keep happening over and over.
- Before I Fall
- I didn’t find it interesting.
- The BFG
- It wasn’t for me.
- The Box
- It didn’t grab me.
- Bright
- Not very interesting.
- Colossal
- It took a dark turn and I lost interest.
- Criminal
- It didn’t grab me.
- Despicable Me 3
- Despite my enjoyment of the 1st 2 movies, this one was boring.
- Duplex
- Bad things keep happening over and over.
- Early Man
- Unfunny and uninteresting.
- Evil Roy Slade
- Very silly.
- Ferdinand
- Just for kids.
- The Fifth Wave
- It didn’t grab me.
- Ghostbusters (2016)
- Mildly amusing at best, some aspects of it were distasteful.
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
- Too disturbing for me.
- The Gods Must Be Crazy
- Not funny at all.
- It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
- Unfunny.
- The Long Kiss Goodnight
- It was basically The Bourne Identity but less interesting.
- Murder on the Orient Express (1974)
- I didn’t care who the murderer was.
- Ronin
- It didn’t grab me.
- A Simple Plan
- I could see where it was going, and I didn’t want to go there.
- Sin City
- Senseless violence.
- The Space Between Us
- It was strangely boring.
- Suicide Squad
- Interesting premise but the story is not.
- Thoroughbreds
- I stopped when the main characters were going to be violent towards Anton Yelchin’s character.
- Timecrimes
- The protagonist was too stupid.
- Tomb Raider
- It was strangely boring.
- The Two Faces of January
- It didn’t grab me.

Upgrade — the first part wasn’t grabbing me as much as I wanted it to, and when a very gruesome scene came up I stopped watching.

Dark Phoenix — Even though I like these characters a lot, the first part of this movie wasn’t very interesting. I stopped watching when she killed you-know-who.

Triangle (2009) — This movie is aggressively uninteresting.
March 4th, 2023 at 2:20 pm
Archive — It’s not filmed in a way that’s particularly interesting, and the main actor doesn’t have what it takes to carry most of a movie as the only human character.

Simulant — The beginning isn’t very interesting — there’s nothing to distinguish it from other movies.
