A much, much shorter list would be movies that didn't disappoint.  List would also not feature any recent releases.

Spider man 3 - Awful, the intent of the movie seemed to be making as many people laugh as possibly during dramatic scenes and then spending tons on Special effects (Which, admittedly, were awesome).
Epic Movie - Umm... fail.  A lot of "This would be funny" but very little thinking through.  It's like a bunch of half thought out jokes shoved into a movie.
POTC 3 - Not bad.  I enjoyed it quite a bit.  I was just expecting a lot more... because I love pirates...yarr :D
28 weeks later - I can't really explain without spoilers...Let's just say too many mistakes needed to be made for it to be believable.  Besides that, though, good movie.
Spider man 3 - Yes, it was that bad.
White Noise - HA! ... 'nuff said
Saw 3 - There was a storyline somewhere...I'm sure of it!  Wasn't there?  Seemed to be "Let's try and fit this way to die in" and then built a mediocre storyline around that.

The list goes on.

Recent good movies though!

Wow your waaay tough. I thought Spiderman 3 wasn't very good but I loved POTC 3. Mainly because of the characters even if the plot wasn't that inspiring. The gags were all good though. "isn't it strange that on top of all this it starts raining?"

 :D I'm just happy that I can say: "I haven't see any of the PotC movies"  :P

I agree about POTC 3, I just expected more so I was slightly disappointed.

What would you expect from a movie that was based not on a book, but on an attraction of Disneyland named "Pirates of the Caribbean"?

The first Pirates movie kicked ass, Raleigh :)

The Machinist, It was a Super movie! everyone should watch it, though it's a rather sort one  :'( only 102 minutes. I want a 6 hour long extended version!

Indeed, it's one of the few movies that didn't disappoint, Karyuu :D

We should add it to the list xP

Because the first one didn't follow with much fidelity the "plot" from where it was inspired from like the second.

all the potc movies made me clench my teeth...
mainly because orlando bloom was a whiny little screw up
and keira knightley was a whiny rude and irritating tease

the scenery and sometimes the story
and of course johnny were the only things that saved the movies

imho

I just saw Spiderman 3 today and thought it was pretty good. The last scene where Spiderman and Harry are fighting against Sandman and Venom is tad silly because apparently the entire poplulation of New York is watching the fight below them. Good movie for all the rest, I loved the scene where Peter gets all jazzy :D

Pirates of the Caribbean: Just awesome movies, all of them.
The Hoax: Good movie, but not everyone likes "tuxedo" movies in which there's nobody getting hurt.
I also saw Black Snake Moan. I thought it was a very good movie, though it's a bit too long to be interesting all of the time.

Pirates of the Caribbean? Link's Approval!  :thumbup: :thumbup: And while on topic, Blow? Edward Scissor Hands? Fear and Loathing? Charlie and his Chocolate Factory? Once Upon A Time in Mexico? ALL GREAT! Johnny Depp also gets Link's Seal of Approval!
