So, I've seen a few movies over the last few days that I thought were "supposed" to be good....and just didn't really live up to my expectations and hopes....- The Master ....  It got rave reviews, and with the actors in it, I was super excited to finally get to see it........And then, I just didn't really get it...  Insert *SIGH*.... - This Is The End ....  With the comedic force in this one, I was surely expecting a total laugh-fest....Wrong! ....Very disappointed.....  Was not the funny, hilariousness that I was hoping for...  Bummer... - Lincoln... I'll agree that Daniel Day-Lewis played an outstanding Lincoln, but just I thought that actual movie was "okay".... 4951

@herron1345:  I haven't seen the others but can understand how you felt about Lincoln.  Since the movie focused on Lincoln's efforts to pass the 13th Amendment before the war ended, it did go slowly.  However, I am a Civil War and Lincoln buff so I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was pretty good.For an under the radar film : Europa Report was interesting.  It's not a big budget modern style sifi film.  It's old school which is better in my view.  4951

@Retired_EngineerI thought that Daniel Day-Lewis played an exceptional role as Lincoln, as well as Sally Fields and Tommy Lee Jones...  (etc etc)It was a brilliantly acted film, and well portrayed, but I simply just couldn't really "get into it"....Maybe it was the fact that it seemed at times "to go rather slowly"....I'm a bit of a history buff myself, and normally enjoy a good historical portrayal, but not Lincoln so much...and it bummed me out - I wanted to like / love it...  I just didn't....     4951

@herron1345:  Since we knew how it was going to end, I didn't get emotionally involved being "for" or "against"  anyone in the movie.

@HeathurI thought This Is The End did have some funny scenes, but just didn't think it was funny through-out....Nor did I on The Hangover 3....  Thought the first 2 were MUCH funnier.... 4951

@herron1345:
Have yet to see hangover 3. First one was hilarious, second had a couple of funny parts but overall I wasn't crazy about #2. 4951

@HeathurI feel the same way...and # 3 was totally disappointing for me.....Maybe that's why This Is The End just didn't really do it for me...  I expected so much more.....especially with all of the normal "comedic peeps" in the movie....I wanted MORE.....  More Funny....   4951

I loved Lincoln. The acting was out of this world. This is the end totally sucks. The jokes about pot just get too old and the acting is really bad. Hangover 3 was bound to be a disappointment. There is no way you can replicate the masterpiece that is The Hangover I. On another note, I recently watched World World Z on a plane and I thought it was better than I expected.  4951

I didn't know what to expect from This Is The End, but it sure didn't deliver anything in the way of entertainment. 4951

This is the End was the worst movie I have EVER seen... I thought Lincoln was slow.....   Now Lincoln the Vampire Slayer was actually good and it had a lot of History mixed in as well.... 4951
