Going to see bad films

[Muban]

I have heard it said many times here on the forums 'I went to see it thinking it would be really bad', 'I was expecting an extremely bad movie' etc. So how come you guys go and see them? Personally if I think a film is going to be bad I definitely won't go and see it in the cinema, it probably won't even get a rental. As it happens this works for me, I have yet to see a film I thought would be bad actually be any good. If it does get a watch it's normally becuase I am doing something else and it's on the TV in the background or a friend has really wanted to see it so have sat through the DVD. If I hear good reviews or someone I know who has good opinions on films lets me know it's worth a watch I will give it a go (although many a time this has been a mistake ).

The cinema isn't exactly cheap these days and I just wondered why would people waste that amount of cash, (not to mention their time) on a film they think is going to be bad? I don't know maybe you all have enough money to go and see how it starts and walk out if you think it's crap

Cinema is expensive if you buy their popcorn and coke as well but i reckon £6.50 for a big screen and great sound is worth it for a film thats had millions of pounds and effort spent on it.
You`ll always get a film you don`t like as much (da vinci for me as thought book much better).
I went to see poseiden thinking it wouldn`t be up to much but enjoyed it.

a lot of times it's just a case of going to see a film because it's 'something to do...'
I remember going to see XXX 2 last year, obviously it wasn't going to be great but it was a good laugh seeing numerous explosions and poor acting on large screen with great sound. Plus, it gives you something to speak about with your mates after.

There are also the times when you go along to keep the ladies happy... Monster In Law... *shudders*

I've never gone to see a film which i'd heard was "really bad", such as Be Cool...

Thing is, most of the time I goto the cinema at least once a week and in the off-season there just isn't many films out, so you're at the cinema and you have no choice but to watch the latest Hollywood remake or Calendar Girls or something. Or go home and watch some complete tripe on TV.

I remember going to the cinema sometime around October last year and my local 12 screen cinema had 4 films on.

For the entire weekend.
