The one that immediately comes to mind is Godfather Part III. Why? Sofia ****ing Coppola.
While it wouldn't have been as good as the first two, with a real actress (IIRC Winona Ryder was originally cast as Mary), it would have been infinitely better. Coppola absolutely nuked every scene she was in. Another one was the musical Les Miserables. Why? Russell Crowe trying to sing. Holy shit - what were they thinking? Everybody had to realize how awful he was, including him. I guess he must have needed the money, but Christ, did they sign him before hearing his voice? He basically mumbled the lyrics of everything he sang. Absolutely awful. Really pissed me off because I love the stage production so much. |

I'll go old-school.
Highlander. Decent, but not good. |

Prometheus.
Damn that movie could have been good with a few tweaks. |

BLASPHEMY! YOU SUCK!
Sure, it's got some flaws, but it's beautifully shot, has a great cast (even Lambert's weird accent seems to fit), an awesome soundtrack, wonderful twisted humor, and one of the greatest villains of all time. I rank Kurgan right up there with Hans Gruber. I do agree about Prometheus. So many gaping plotholes. Scientists shouldn't be B-horror movie stupid. I was so put off by it that I never even bothered to watch the next one. |

I really wanted to like this. there are some really good shots. the battle at the end is worth watching for the pike push. Viggo is great but a lot of the other cast memebrs aren't on his level. the score is a tonal mismatch in some places. |

Heh. Chronicles of Riddick. That movie blows. Yet I watch it every damned time it's on cable.

The absolute worst thing about GF3 is it isn't GF or GFII. If it existed on its own, without the baggage of expectations or nepotism, it would be below Goodfellas, but above say Scarface or Carlito's Way. But GF is one of the 10-12 greatest movies ever made, and GFII somehow surpassed it. |

I forced myself once to watch it. It felt long and dare I say it...boring. There was some good stuff I suppose, but honestly it felt like it was trying too hard...I found myself annoyed with Pacino too, but that's pretty much the case with anything he makes...he's a one note actor IMO, with a few exceptions.

It wasn't "almost" good, but I thought at the time that the plot of Smokin' Aces had potential. A bunch of assassins with different techniques all fighting to knock off one guy. The movie ended up as an over the top lifeless action flick, with horrible acting on top of that. But a remake by a good director could come with something good.
