Pirates 3
Hancock
agreed with both, although it's not like i was expecting much good from Pirates 3 considering the second wasn't that good either
i agree with portishead's third, there's only 2 songs i like on it a lot :'(

Rush's Snakes and Arrows
Forgot that one, but it reminds me of when I saw them live (it was the tour) so it holds a little place in my heart.
Also, How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
Necro - Death Rap
Phantom Hourglass

Agreed wholeheartedly. How it won a Grammy is completely beyond me.
American Idiot I found disappointing. I don't know if I'm saying that because I'm comparing it to the older Green Day that I like...

The Main Monkey Business is pretty cool besides the annoying vocals from Geddy Lee. Sorry, just not feeling them. I still like the song but it'd be much better without it.
I think Neil should show off a hell of a lot more.

I don't know
Vertigo and all because of you are okay at best, City of Blinding Lights is just a new Where the Streets Have No Name, and the rest is just crap
Harry Potter 7
[spoiler]Harry was supposed to die, not Fred. ;-;
And that epilogue made me barf. Overall the rest was actually pretty good.[/spoiler]

well the main monkey business is an instrumental so of course there are no annoying vocals, automatically giving it a better chance of it being good
and indeed, main monkey business is my favorite song on the album

Superbad is very awesome and The Wall is amazing. The Wall always gives me the chills when I watch it, the trial is so freaking cool. The song alone is awesome but the amazing animation and weirdness of that scene rules.
See: Welcome to the Machine the music video. That music video is awesome and wish there was more like it.

i'd actually probably like it if i was in the right mindset. I was not in the mood for something depressing or serious when i popped it in.
I will never be able to love Superbad like everyone else though, I just thought it was ok

I thought it was going to be awful but my friend said it was great and he played it for me. I thought it was actually one of the best comedies I've seen.
I pretty much hate all "comedy" movies though, most aren't funny.

Hail To the Thief
It takes a while to warm up to. After In Rainbows came out I went into a phase of hating it, but now I've come to accept that it's a flawed album with a bunch of great songs.

That's what I thought when it first came out, but after seeing Rush twice and giving it a few more good listens I'm really starting to appreciate it.

As if he doesn't already show off enough psyduck;
Rilo Kiley Under the Black Light
Harry Potter 7
Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
For most dissappointments, I don't expect much in the first place, so they don't count. I'm gonna guess that Metallica's new album will dissappoint me, but there I go again, I already expect little.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaawwnnn.
I know there's a whole board about the vidya already, but since I'm not that much into the other medias and since there's only one big gaming disappointment I can think of here it is:
Baten Kaitos.
Holy shit. The strangest thing is that I actually liked the battle system, but I just REALLY couldn't get into the story. It was soporific.

Harry Potter 7
I agree with it being a disappointment but your reasons are not exactly why it was so disappointing. For one, it seemed rushed, like JK was just trying to kill off some minor characters and have them all have a somewhat happy ending, the wandlore in this book is heavy and unnecessary, she should have just pushed the Love is Evil's greatest enemy angle instead of this force fed, wands only obey those if it is stripped from the previous owner crap. The ending overall was not that great, Harry's face-off with Voldemort was very anticlimactic and did was not as good as it could have been.
Books 1-4 were good, but books 5-7 started to lose it's steam (Maybe because the popularity for them were at an all-time high and the fame could have gone to JK's head...), with the exception of Order of the Phoenix because I enjoyed the kids being slaughtered by the Death Eaters, but even then, the fact that Harry was able to teach an entire class the Patronus charm was a bit cheap seeing as it was passed off as "advanced magic".
Wolf Parade's Kissing the Beehive. Its good yeah, but I didn't like it nearly as much as Apologies To The Queen Mary

I think Rowling just stop putting any effort into her writing because she knew her books would sell millions whether or not the were any good. 7 in particular feels like she phoned it in.

Aye, this too, I hate it when authors or any person who is in charge of creating something does this. So lazy and makes reading all 7 books a pointless journey.
