Freddy vs Jason

Everyone I talked to said it was the shit, well I thought it was too, I just doubt our definitions were the same ;)

The premise for the movie was good, special effects were good too, but all in all I thought the movie sucked, even worse that I actually bought it.

exactly, though I have to admit I did find Resident Evil more entertaining, and have no problem watching it again when I catch it on. But FvJ aside from the classic one liners, and the boiler fight scene, pretty much blew, I literally finished watching it thinking to myself, what the hell did I buy that for. AND who can I pawn it off on for a trade lol

The Ring

There were no real action or horrifically scary moments, in my opinion. It's hype made me see it, but when the movie ended, I couldn't help feeling like I was just power torqued from behind by the media and mainstream.

The Scream films. I kept hearing how great these movies were, and how they were the "salvation" of the horror genre.

What a bunch of crap (on both counts.)

I got one that probably a lot of people will disagree with, Dawn of the Dead. I'm sorry but this movie just didn't do it for me, I was so happy that I found it in the video store but 2 hours later I found myself quite disapointed. I can put up with movie that are slow at some points but my god this one just dragged on and on. I enjoyed Night and Day but this one was just not good. Also I thought there was just too much humor, I like the dark feeling I had watching the other two but Dawn just seemed like a happy go lucky movie where the characters were just having some fun running around the mall.
