They weren't bad at all! All the pieces were good, I just didn't think they came together like people proclaimed them to- naturally, it's my own fault for believing the hype, but I had a slight disappointment and boredom with both the series and the film. I didn't watch every episode though, so who knows what I am still missing... |

Actually, it took me about 4 or 5 episodes of Firefly to really start getting into the characters, which is kind of a bummer for a show that lasted for such a short time. Re-watching it though, I already understood the characters and their somewhat odd motivations for those early episodes, so I enjoyed it a lot more than the first time.
It still s me off bigtime that it wasn't given a proper chance to grow both the characters and the story. Serenity was cool, but a movie is a pretty different format than a series that can really flesh out a good story/arc. |

tried watching it multiple times and have never gotten through it |
Same thing here. I tried watching the first Godfather at least 5 times now. I just completely lose interest after getting to about the 50 minute mark.
Another one is "I'm Legend". It's the only movie where I left the theater in the middle of a movie. Tried watching it again after it came out on DVD and turned it off after about 30 minutes. |

- Akira;
- Ghost in the Shell;
- Anything by Hayao Miyazaki;
- Star Wars, Star Trek, and apparently anything with "star" in it;
- The Godfather;
- Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and the Harry Potter Saga - all which I believe are part of the same story;
- Anything with Batman in it.
Long story short, unless the plot reeks of drama, the Earth (or a sizable bit) is destroyed, or the film is really angsty and/or pretentiously complicated, I can't really get into it :( |

| I too must say The Godfather. The Ghost In The Shell is what sparked The Matrix saga, Lira. Although the first one was the best. |

Seems The Godfather is being mentioned across the board. Must say the same for me.
As hard as I try, I can never get into it. I don't know the reason why |

I can appreciate its importance, but I still find it unbearably tedious to watch :( |

The only movie I couldn't get into was when I went to see Boondock Saints, but I'd forgotten my fake id at home, so no R-rated movie for that 15 year old :( |
Your life is better for it.
Terrible, terrible movie. |
