Our 10 Most Disappointing Movies Of 2014 So Far
We’re half way through 2014 and lets just say, it’s been a mixed bag at the cinema so far. Sure we’ve had some triumphs but we’ve also had a few that have left us leaving the theatre wishing we’d just stayed home and watched Netflix. While they might have taken our money, here’s the 10 movies which left leaving the cinema feeling the most disappointed so far this year.
Maleficent
Maleficent wasn’t a bad movie by any stretch, but did it really live up to trailer? No not really. In the end Maleficent fell short of our expectations. Yes it looked amazing and Angelina was fantastic, but the script really didn't do justice to a character and a movie which could have been so much more awesome.
The Monuments Men
As far as actors turned directors go, George Clooney had a pretty good track record, that was until The Monuments Men. Despite a star studded cast, including Clooney himself, Matt Damon and Bill Murray, The Monuments Men was sadly just boring. All the ingredients were there, but sadly somewhere along the way Clooney decided to deliver an obsure history lesson rather than a movie.

Transformers: Age of Extinction
Where to start? Is it really accurate to say we were disappointed, after all we knew it was a Michael Bay film going in. But we had hoped maybe with the addition of Mark Wahlberg the franchise could be salvaged. Sadly all we got was another lengthly, special effects laden, predictable Michael Bay outing. Though we did get to see Dinobots.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
We wanted this to be great, actually we wanted it to be amazing, but really it just wasn’t. Simply it just tried too hard to pack too much in. Special effects and villains galore, it was as if Marc Webb was trying whatever he could to overshadow Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone’s chemistry. On the plus side, the special effects were great and we did really enjoy Dane DeHaan.
