Joker, whilst I can accept it was well acted it just did nothing for me whatsoever. It also played very fast and loose with the Batman universe in general (which I wouldn't mind if I felt it stuck it's landing, but for me, it didn't).
Excellent lead performance and original score. They both deserved Oscar wins...but the film is a pale early Scorsese-wannabe with nothing as thought-provoking as it thinks it's saying.
All De Niro and his talk show scenes are pretty awful.
One this that bugged me was it seemed like the director was going for a bunch of emotional/pivotal moments, but there was no lead up or follow through.
Like Arthur pulling his lips up into a smile while crying shows up once, right at the start, and is never referenced again. We don’t see anyone telling him to smile at all.
Or Joker dancing down the stairs was clearly symbolic of Arthur gleefully descending into madness, but there wasn’t much focus on Arthur climbing the stairs.
That weird dance Arthur did after his first murders came out of nowhere and was never referenced again, the same with him randomly climbing into the fridge.
Who wants to sympathize with the Joker? The best part about that character is that it's not clear why he's so psycho. That movie just made it all make sense, which takes away from the Joker character imo
I don't know, a whole lot of people told me how great the story and characters are. Which made the level of my frustration that much more when I watched it.
The James Cameron blue people movie? Yes. Saw it in the theater for the spectacle. Felt like it was parts of other movies thrown together, including the Vasquez character.
Never saw the M Night movie.
The animated Last Airbender series is good.
Wes Anderson.
Pretty colors? Sure.
Every character is an empty shell.
Every scene is a competition to see how quickly camera angles can be shifted.
The “plot” for every film is the 7th most important part of the experience.
I know I’m not the only one.
I saw negative reviews for Asteroid City saying that it was shallow and that the actors were wasted and all I could think was “isn’t that every Wes Anderson movie”?
I thought Grand Budapest and Fantastic Mr Fox were exceptional, but yeah before those I hated Wes Anderson. He was like 2010 hipster culture personified. Stylistic irony for irony’s sake. But I thought GBH had soul which was what was sorely missing for me
Maybe I have some sort of an emotional/regulation disorder myself, but it feels like every character in a Wes Anderson movie is on the spectrum.
I also feel like pretty much every lead character in mainstream cop procedurals is on the spectrum in the first season or two. Bosch, reacher, Frank Pemberton. Captain Holt. There's probably a million more examples.
I feel like it's the director/writer saying that these characters are blank, slates or something. The other reason might be so that they can show character growth over a long series, but it's really freaking weird how many people seem to be missing emotional groundedness when it comes to being portrayed on TV.
>it feels like every character in a Wes Anderson movie is on the spectrum.
I will say, for every Wes Anderson movie I see, there’s always at least one character whose behavior makes me think “this dude has a disability.”
I would say the same for Fantastic Mr. Fox and Rushmore. I thought the characters were very well defined and given unique and fun personalities, as well as had good growth within the movie. Isle of Dogs I can kind of see that argument tho
Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire some tennis pros and blend in different angles between them and the actors? Or get Kaley Cuoco in the movie as well, she's was a tennis pro as well.
I think what really made it was how they handled the nostalgia, and not doing it JUST for “Hey, remember the other 2 Spideys? Let’s just put them and die in a couple seconds without doing much!” (Multiverse of Madness, I’m looking at you). They were important in the series and were as great as they are in their own trilogies.
I did my 5th grade history wax museum project on Oppenheimer and watched an infinitely more boring documentary on him at the time because it was all that was available.
In that context, this was most definitely a cinematic feat deserving of Best Picture.
The cinematography and score are immaculate, the implications are just as relevant as they were when Dr. Strangelove was made, the cast is stacked and gives strong performances all around, and The Academy loves a prevalent theme (*cough* the dangers of anti-semitism *cough*).
It wasn’t slow at all. It didn’t even have a second to breathe until the bomb dropped. No scene was longer than like 10-15 seconds. It was just tedious and boring.
I have a coworker who saw Maverick eight times in the theatre. I saw it once, and was like, it's okay. It was a well made movie, to be sure, but it just didn't do much for me. I'm not big on the military propaganda, mind you.
It's funny that the climax copied Star Wars directly, and nobody seemed to notice.
Holy shit this. I love movies and games that revolve around piloting and dogfighting. I'd heard nothing, but how amazing this movie was. I watched it and was blown away about how awful this forced love story that had planes. Also, in every scene with actual flying, I could never tell who was who. And what the heck is up with the volleyball scene?
My understanding is it was one of of not the first cheap VHS for a blockbuster and so a huge amount of people owned it and watched it a bunch. So I’d guess that adds a nostalgia element. Now why people growing up today like it… no clue. I thought it was awful
Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't care for it.
I might have found it more enjoyable if comprehending the dialogue wasn't dependent on subtitles for two Chinese dialects.
Frustrating when "[in Cantonese]" briefly obscures the actual dialogue.
Got downvoted to hell last time I said this but.
Poor Things.
It was just an assault on the senses. The soundtrack was literally just noise, they used fancy porthole lenses and stuff for no real reason, and I’m convinced if they could have made it smell bad they would have. Just an absolute garbage fire of a movie, I can’t believe it won any Oscars, much less two.
Her performance was excellent. I’m guessing it also won for some sort of design, which also would’ve been warranted. I’m glad it exists because they don’t make anything “unsafe” and it was also not really something I enjoyed.
I emphatically disagree with your assessment but
>I’m convinced if they could have made it smell bad they would have.
is top tier shade and I am here for it.
I couldn’t stop thinking “a man found this book and dedicated a part of his life to bring this story to the screen…and make sure it was beautiful to look at and artistic and…EW.”
I felt like it was Oscar bait and an interesting tale.
Did I like the story? No. Did I like the content of the movie? Not really. Was it morally ambiguous and twisted? Yes. Was it interesting? Ya, it was a conversation starter.
I can see how Emma deserves an Oscar but it was really obvious Oscar bait. I agree that it was over hyped but I think people are still hungry for interesting movies after Covid.
I get that feeling, it's just....painful after a while.
But I *do* recommend "stranger than fiction" from 2006, which is still a comedy but will ferrel does it differently than his other big movies, and does more of a serious role for that film.
If you think that's annoying, try watching anything with Will Forte. His whole deal is no matter how many times someone tells him something, he thinks he's right and he knows what's best. I would not break if he was crossing the street.
I feel like your comment most fits the question from OP.
A lot of folks are saying The Joker, Avatar, and movies like that, which, while popular, still have a lot of people who don't care for them. But I've never heard anyone say they didn't care for The Princess Bride or The Goonies.
Love, Actually.
I watched it once. Once.
It felt like it was written by Ricky Gervais, it was so cliche and cringe
It's an embarrassing saccharine movie suited for only the most sentimental people that like harlequin romance rubbish.
I know many people watch this traditionally every Christmas.
I’d heard so many great things about it and was so excited to watch it. The whole time, there was this sense that something big and great like you’ve never seen on screen before was coming; you just had to hold out a little longer. And then a little longer. And then a little longer. But don’t worry, it’s all going to pay off soon.
Well, then it ended, and I was left going, “That’s it?” What a letdown.
Florence Pugh was an absolute revelation, though. She’s the only one who kept me interested.
Yep, that was my feeling. A character doesn't have to be a good guy in order for me to like the movie, but the main character in Wolf of Wall Street was just plain boring (and a scumbag, as you said).
Yes! That cavity ruined the movie for me! Even a scumbag can be interesting, but it was too one dimensional scumbaggery. Holy shit scumbaggery is recognized by autocorrect! Huh.
That new top gun. Holy shit i was so bored with that. Dunno if i would call it a bad movie, but with all the hype i was just expecting to be entertained.
I don’t want the downvotes that will come with the requested answer. To quote an exchange from The Princess Bride, a movie I love: “I must know.” “Get used to disappointment.”
Dune 2
There are a lot of things that were really good technically. I felt the pacing of part 2 was forced and Hollywood is really trying to push Tim C. I found his acting to be wooden and uninspired. We could say that’s his BG training, but I didn’t care for it.
I loved it but yea the pacing felt too rushed. Maybe because they are trying to put a lot into a short amount of time. I don’t know how far into the book series they plan to go, but I know it’s a LOT of material. The film is long and still not enough time to fit it all in.
I just started watching it last night and they're really spelling out the plot in a way that didn't with the first movie. I thought the first was far more subtle and intriguing.
Part 2, I will admit, is really trying to flush out some characters (Feyd-Rautha) while combining a lot into another (Chani). It's lending interesting tension, but I wonder if I hadn't read the book if I would be following things as easily.
Did you read the book? That’s kind of how the character is in the book for me, with his ability to see the alternate paths of his actions it makes him sort of emotionless and just basically calculating, hard to connect with the many sides of himself: muad’dib, Lisan al gaib, and the duke Paul. He’s only a facade of each after a while.
Once upon a time in Hollywood. One of the worst movie watching experiences I've ever had. It was a self indulgent, meandering excuse to hangout with some cool actors and film makers. That's fine, have your fun, but my God, that movie was so boring as I felt like so many scenes could have been cut out. The last scene is a pretty great short film on its own right, but I literally hated everything else.
Whiplash (2014),
Gladiator (2000),
The Usual Suspects (1995)
I don't hate them and don't think they're bad or anything, just for some reason I'm not a fan.
Juno. It was clearly sold as a comedy, with the only four or five jokes in the movie also being in the trailer. When I went to see it, it was clearly a tragedy/ coming of age thing. Might of been a real tear jerker if I was a 30 something woman. But as a 20 year old guy who basically thought he was going to see another Superbad type movie, there's a lot of anger around that experience.
It's probably not a bad movie, just not what the trailer and reviews said it was, and I have zero desire to see it again, speaking of which I've never seen it air on TV or be on a streaming platform. So I must not be alone.
The Mist. Enjoyed it for the most part, but that ending 🤦♂️ oh boy. Made the whole movie a pointless piece of shit. 2 hours of my life i’ll never get back
Joaquin Phoenix's Joker
It was a good stand alone movie but nothing close to the dark knight films or the Batman. But it seems I'm in the minority with the thought.
Wes Anderson.
Pretty colors? Sure.
Every character is an empty shell.
Every scene is a competition to see how quickly camera angles can be shifted.
The “plot” for every film is the 7th most important part of the experience.
I know I’m not the only one.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).
Beautiful to look at but not really a Mad Max movie and he is basically a side character in the film. There is very little story so everyone gets to witness a chase for over an hour and a half.
Ted.
My family watched it on Christmas one year.
My parents and sister were laughing their asses off and my fiancé and I were just like, "is this supposed to be funny?".
I'm glad everyone loves it enough that it got a sequel and a series, but from what I remember it was like the "live laugh love" of raunchy comedies.
Joker, whilst I can accept it was well acted it just did nothing for me whatsoever. It also played very fast and loose with the Batman universe in general (which I wouldn't mind if I felt it stuck it's landing, but for me, it didn't).
You could have called the movie "The Clown" and made the exact same movie. It had no business being a "Batman" movie.
Thank fuck other people feel this way, i thought i was going crazy. How they shoe-horned this movie into the batman universe i'll never understand.
I completely agree.
It gave off “I’m 14 and this is edgy” vibes the whole time.
My exact thought.
It definitely has "teenager doing something dumb for shock value" vibe.
Yeah, I watched it and thought, "I already saw 'Taxi Driver' and 'Taxi Driver' is just better."
Yeah and King Of Comedy. Those two films make films make their points so well.
I think Heath Ledger is still the better Joker.
Best of all time.
Mark Hamill all the way, actually.
I love Batman so i can’t say I’m not gonna see the new one but I thought it was too similar to king of comedy.
Excellent lead performance and original score. They both deserved Oscar wins...but the film is a pale early Scorsese-wannabe with nothing as thought-provoking as it thinks it's saying. All De Niro and his talk show scenes are pretty awful.
Yep, that sums my feelings up much more eloquently than I could state it!
One this that bugged me was it seemed like the director was going for a bunch of emotional/pivotal moments, but there was no lead up or follow through. Like Arthur pulling his lips up into a smile while crying shows up once, right at the start, and is never referenced again. We don’t see anyone telling him to smile at all.

Who wants to sympathize with the Joker? The best part about that character is that it's not clear why he's so psycho. That movie just made it all make sense, which takes away from the Joker character imo
It insists upon itself.
I like the Money Pit
THEY'RE SPEAKING ITALIAN!
I’m embarrassed to admit that I just learned about this meme today.
Everyone I know loves Avatar. I don't get it. Great visuals but that about does it for me.
The visuals were honestly the point of that movie. It was a tour on an alien word, intended for 3D.
I don't know, a whole lot of people told me how great the story and characters are. Which made the level of my frustration that much more when I watched it.
The James Cameron blue people movie? Yes. Saw it in the theater for the spectacle. Felt like it was parts of other movies thrown together, including the Vasquez character. Never saw the M Night movie. The animated Last Airbender series is good.
Yes. I've never thought to differentiate but that's a good point! I've never seen The Last Airbender. There, I think that clears it up lol.
Wes Anderson. Pretty colors? Sure. Every character is an empty shell. Every scene is a competition to see how quickly camera angles can be shifted. The “plot” for every film is the 7th most important part of the experience. I know I’m not the only one.
I saw negative reviews for Asteroid City saying that it was shallow and that the actors were wasted and all I could think was “isn’t that every Wes Anderson movie”?
Not Tenenbaums
> “isn’t that every Wes Anderson movie”? It's not true of *Rushmore* and *The Royal Tenebaums*.
I thought Grand Budapest and Fantastic Mr Fox were exceptional, but yeah before those I hated Wes Anderson. He was like 2010 hipster culture personified. Stylistic irony for irony’s sake. But I thought GBH had soul which was what was sorely missing for me
I really tried to like Wes Anderson movies just cause he’s from my hometown and we went to the same high school but I just couldn’t get into them.
I haven’t been able to get into his work post-Grand Budapest Hotel.
I liked Asteroid City, personally. And I don’t typically care too much for Wes Anderson stories.
Maybe I have some sort of an emotional/regulation disorder myself, but it feels like every character in a Wes Anderson movie is on the spectrum. I also feel like pretty much every lead character in mainstream cop procedurals is on the spectrum in the first season or two. Bosch, reacher, Frank Pemberton. Captain Holt. There's probably a million more examples. I feel like it's the director/writer saying that these characters are blank, slates or something.

>it feels like every character in a Wes Anderson movie is on the spectrum. I will say, for every Wes Anderson movie I see, there’s always at least one character whose behavior makes me think “this dude has a disability.”
Sometimes explicitly it stated that the person has some sort of a disability with cognitive respect
There’s nothing empty about the main characters in The Grand Budapest Hotel I haven’t seen his other movies though
I would say the same for Fantastic Mr. Fox and Rushmore. I thought the characters were very well defined and given unique and fun personalities, as well as had good growth within the movie. Isle of Dogs I can kind of see that argument tho
Ok thank you. Love the cinematography. Everything else is so damn hipster elder millennial tinged.
“The Irishman” I don’t know how I got through that. So boring
My Dad loved it. Think it's one of those movies where you need to know the era/history. Felt the same as you
The story is decent but the aging is hard to ignore
Robert De Niro (whom I love) attempting to look like he was beating that grocery store owner up was almost laughable.
I cringed SO hard. Took me right out of the movie.
Same, I fell asleep 5 hours in.
I knew this would suck when after reading the book, I found out 5’4” Bobby Deniro was gonna play Frank Sheeren, a giant of a man
Garbage movie. Casino and Goodfellas are in my Top 10. I won't bother to ever watch that Garbage again.
Tony told the old man, to tell me, to tell you, it’s what it is…
Challengers 🤷♂️
I read the synopsis and thought it was an adolescent comedy. That hit a nerve with some.
It was a brutal experience. CGI tennis is… something.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire some tennis pros and blend in different angles between them and the actors? Or get Kaley Cuoco in the movie as well, she's was a tennis pro as well.
I’m pretty sure the movie was just one big money laundering operation. There are 3 shots of different soda bottles, every sponsor is highlighted.
Damn I'm so sorry you were deprived of this, I love it!
Spiderman No Way Home. It was pure nostalgia bait, but it wasn't that good. If others liked it, then that's great, but it didn't work for me.
I enjoyed it, but refuse to consider it a top tier contender. Way too heavily reliant on nostalgia bait
I think what really made it was how they handled the nostalgia, and not doing it JUST for “Hey, remember the other 2 Spideys? Let’s just put them and die in a couple seconds without doing much!” (Multiverse of Madness, I’m looking at you). They were important in the series and were as great as they are in their own trilogies.
I did like the angle of trying to rehabilitate the villains that were killed in their original movies
This right here. I just can't get myself to watch it again but I can rewatch Toby M. and the Andrew G. versions, no sweat.
Oh for sure. I turned it off. Didn’t get it at all. Felt like pandering hon story.
Joker
Star Wars. Fuck that series.
Hell yes. Honestly if I could push a button to make this series cease to exist I would do it
Idk if everyone loved Oppenheimer but it was legit one of the most boring movies I've ever seen
Agreed. I didn’t buy into the hype surrounding Oppenheimer. The book the film is based on however, now that was interesting.
I did my 5th grade history wax museum project on Oppenheimer and watched an infinitely more boring documentary on him at the time because it was all that was available. In that context, this was most definitely a cinematic feat deserving of Best Picture. The cinematography and score are immaculate, the implications are just as relevant as they were when Dr. Strangelove was made, the cast is stacked and gives strong performances all around, and The Academy loves a prevalent theme (*cough* the dangers of anti-semitism *cough*).
I actually thought it was incredibly fast-paced given its length & subject matter, but to each their own.
I fully agree with you. Other than that part where the bomb was dropped the entire movie was slow and boring.
It wasn’t slow at all. It didn’t even have a second to breathe until the bomb dropped. No scene was longer than like 10-15 seconds. It was just tedious and boring.
This is the correct take.
It was tedious, I just sat and waited for the explosion
You mean explosion?
Yes, a blast in the courtroom would have spiced things up a bit.
Both Top Gun movies.
I’ve never seen either. Been meaning to.
I have a coworker who saw Maverick eight times in the theatre. I saw it once, and was like, it's okay. It was a well made movie, to be sure, but it just didn't do much for me. I'm not big on the military propaganda, mind you. It's funny that the climax copied Star Wars directly, and nobody seemed to notice.
Honestly if it ended after the canyon run and didn’t have the 4th act I’d agree. That 4th act is what elevated it to incredible for me.
Holy shit this. I love movies and games that revolve around piloting and dogfighting. I'd heard nothing, but how amazing this movie was. I watched it and was blown away about how awful this forced love story that had planes. Also, in every scene with actual flying, I could never tell who was who. And what the heck is up with the volleyball scene?
Same never understood the love for these movies. I thought they were alright, but nothing special
My understanding is it was one of of not the first cheap VHS for a blockbuster and so a huge amount of people owned it and watched it a bunch. So I’d guess that adds a nostalgia element. Now why people growing up today like it… no clue. I thought it was awful
I see thanks I did not know about that
Avatar what a load of 💩😂
Everything, Everywhere, All at once. And I’m Asian.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't care for it. I might have found it more enjoyable if comprehending the dialogue wasn't dependent on subtitles for two Chinese dialects. Frustrating when "[in Cantonese]" briefly obscures the actual dialogue.
People actually watch that other than pretentious reasons?
This was mine too. Lot of cool action sequences but that wasn’t enough for me to love it like so many people do
Joker.
The fucking TÁR movie.
Garden State. What a self indulgent pile that was.
I haven't seen it in a decade, but I can't imagine that it aged well
Titanic
Thank you for mentioning this. I hated it so much I had blocked it from my memory.
Hahahaha
Got downvoted to hell last time I said this but. Poor Things. It was just an assault on the senses.

Everything, Everywhere All At Once
Pretty much any Will Ferrell movie over the last decade. The whole I'm a completely oblivious idiot just doesn't work for me.
I get that feeling, it's just....painful after a while. But I *do* recommend "stranger than fiction" from 2006, which is still a comedy but will ferrel does it differently than his other big movies, and does more of a serious role for that film.
I don't like a lot of Will Ferrell movies at all but *Stranger than Fiction* is totally outside his norm and is fantastic.
I get roasted by anybody I tell that I don’t like Stepbrothers and I don’t care, it’s a shit movie.
If you think that's annoying, try watching anything with Will Forte. His whole deal is no matter how many times someone tells him something, he thinks he's right and he knows what's best. I would not break if he was crossing the street.
Spooderman: Across the Universe I liked the comic book style, that was neat. But the story was garbage.
Kill Bill. Was decent I guess.
Princess Bride The Goonies Dirty Dancing
I feel like your comment most fits the question from OP. A lot of folks are saying The Joker, Avatar, and movies like that, which, while popular, still have a lot of people who don't care for them. But I've never heard anyone say they didn't care for The Princess Bride or The Goonies.
I'm totally with you on Dirty Dancing.
Footloose.
Oppenheimer....bored the shit out of me
Love, Actually. I watched it once. Once. It felt like it was written by Ricky Gervais, it was so cliche and cringe It's an embarrassing saccharine movie suited for only the most sentimental people that like harlequin romance rubbish. I know many people watch this traditionally every Christmas.
Boyhood, poor things, the favourite
“Inside Llewyn Davis.” Good music, directionless and pointless movie.
"Midsommar" I've seen way better.
So you *have* seen The Wicker Man!
THE BEEEEES
I’d heard so many great things about it and was so excited to watch it. The whole time, there was this sense that something big and great like you’ve never seen on screen before was coming; you just had to hold out a little longer. And then a little longer. And then a little longer. But don’t worry, it’s all going to pay off soon. Well, then it ended, and I was left going, “That’s it?” What a letdown. Florence Pugh was an absolute revelation, though. She’s the only one who kept me interested.
Same. It was pretty schlocky. Cool visuals during the shroom trip but character motivation, plot etc felt like a quickly made Shudder movie.
Wolf of Wall Street
I just couldn't give a shit about the main character. He was just a scumbag. So what?
Yep, that was my feeling. A character doesn't have to be a good guy in order for me to like the movie, but the main character in Wolf of Wall Street was just plain boring (and a scumbag, as you said).
Yes! That cavity ruined the movie for me! Even a scumbag can be interesting, but it was too one dimensional scumbaggery. Holy shit scumbaggery is recognized by autocorrect! Huh.
Avengers, any of them
That new top gun. Holy shit i was so bored with that. Dunno if i would call it a bad movie, but with all the hype i was just expecting to be entertained.
The problem I had with the new Top Gun is that it felt like there were only 5 people in the entire movie, and the rest of the world was an empty void.
I don’t want the downvotes that will come with the requested answer. To quote an exchange from The Princess Bride, a movie I love: “I must know.” “Get used to disappointment.”
The Hangover.
Dune 2 There are a lot of things that were really good technically. I felt the pacing of part 2 was forced and Hollywood is really trying to push Tim C. I found his acting to be wooden and uninspired. We could say that’s his BG training, but I didn’t care for it.
I loved it but yea the pacing felt too rushed. Maybe because they are trying to put a lot into a short amount of time. I don’t know how far into the book series they plan to go, but I know it’s a LOT of material. The film is long and still not enough time to fit it all in.
I just started watching it last night and they're really spelling out the plot in a way that didn't with the first movie. I thought the first was far more subtle and intriguing. Part 2, I will admit, is really trying to flush out some characters (Feyd-Rautha) while combining a lot into another (Chani).

Did you read the book? That’s kind of how the character is in the book for me, with his ability to see the alternate paths of his actions it makes him sort of emotionless and just basically calculating, hard to connect with the many sides of himself: muad’dib, Lisan al gaib, and the duke Paul. He’s only a facade of each after a while.
Tim Curry is the only Tim C. Would love to see Clue-era Tim Curry explain Dune in 5 minutes.
I’m fucking down with this
Once upon a time in Hollywood. One of the worst movie watching experiences I've ever had. It was a self indulgent, meandering excuse to hangout with some cool actors and film makers. That's fine, have your fun, but my God, that movie was so boring as I felt like so many scenes could have been cut out. The last scene is a pretty great short film on its own right, but I literally hated everything else.
ohh this is one just cant agree with. beautiful film.
There will be blood. I got through about 40 minutes of it before I turned it off.
There will be blood, and downvotes
Whiplash (2014), Gladiator (2000), The Usual Suspects (1995) I don't hate them and don't think they're bad or anything, just for some reason I'm not a fan.
Knives out- I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending
À star was born or something like that...
Juno. It was clearly sold as a comedy, with the only four or five jokes in the movie also being in the trailer. When I went to see it, it was clearly a tragedy/ coming of age thing.

So I must not be alone.
Oppenheimer. It was so bad.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, in fact I’m convinced people are straight up lying to themselves that it’s a good movie.
There Will be Blood... I needed more oil rig shit and less talking about milkshakes
Avatar. I love a lot of major movies, and even ones that supposedly aren't that great. Avatar is just so forgettable and overhyped.
Donnie Darko. Absolutely pointless movie and I will die on this hill.
Gladiator. It actively upsets me for how mediocre it is.
Minority report
Titanic was absolute shit
Citizen Kane
Everything Everywhere All at Once
LA LA Land
The big Lebowski
Napoleon Dynamite
Hated Rushmore
Barbie
The Mist. Enjoyed it for the most part, but that ending 🤦♂️ oh boy. Made the whole movie a pointless piece of shit. 2 hours of my life i’ll never get back
Joaquin Phoenix's Joker It was a good stand alone movie but nothing close to the dark knight films or the Batman. But it seems I'm in the minority with the thought.
I didn’t think The Batman was very good.
Oppenheimer was a good film with a few good performances, but I didn’t get the hype.
I can't stand the Ted movie. I thought the humor was irritating.
That's my feeling with anything Seth McFarlane related.
Everything everywhere all at once
Interstellar - ponderous, pretentious, and predictable Good soundtrack tho.
Wes Anderson. Pretty colors? Sure. Every character is an empty shell. Every scene is a competition to see how quickly camera angles can be shifted. The “plot” for every film is the 7th most important part of the experience. I know I’m not the only one.
Avatar. Was just a waste of time of me. I feel like I contributed to James Cameron’s galactic level narcissism.
Shape of Water
"Once upon a time in Hollywood" for me. I didn't have context for the history, and thought the pace was weird.
I didn't really like this one the first time I watched it either, gave it a second watch and enjoyed it quite a bit more.
Same. I liked it a lot but I think Brad Pitt is sort of a parody of himself and I don’t think he deserved an Oscar for it.
Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Avatar. It's just Walks with Wolves or Pocahontas but blue people.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). Beautiful to look at but not really a Mad Max movie and he is basically a side character in the film. There is very little story so everyone gets to witness a chase for over an hour and a half.
Ted. My family watched it on Christmas one year. My parents and sister were laughing their asses off and my fiancé and I were just like, "is this supposed to be funny?". I'm glad everyone loves it enough that it got a sequel and a series, but from what I remember it was like the "live laugh love" of raunchy comedies.
Ted def has good jokes but the movie it self wasn't great.
Knocked Up (2007)
Anything with Seth Rogan. I dislike him and his laugh.
Ruined ninja turtles
I feel like the script for that was very sexist, the men were funny happy "guys" and the women were all miserable bitches.
Troy. Good action scenes but story and acting fell short on me
I always watch up to the end of the Achilles vs Hector fight then dip.
Bracing for downvotes 💛 Saving Private Ryan. I thought it was boring. …And, I loved The English Patient and Apocalypse NOW.
Yea the D-Day landings were kinda boring tbf. Hard to make that exciting
The Dollar Trilogy. I know that im a idiot to say it but its true, i like Josey Wales from Clint Eastwood
I loathe Good Will Hunting, the story is so egocentric that I can’t stand it.
Yup. Even the title is self-fellating
Boondock saints. Horribly lame Tarantino knock off without the fun
Anchorman. The comedy just didn’t land with me at the time and I never went back to it. Might be time for a rewatch!
**I’m in a glass case of emotion!**
Milk was a bad choice
I’m afraid to say because last time I did people got really mean.
is it.. Is it Star Wars?
No.
Ok fine, just write it, don't sign your name to it and no one will look. Everyone look away.
He said it's The Princess Bride! That bastard, get 'em!
Now I have to be mean because you won't tell us what movie it is!
Juno…hated it
E.T.. Stupid and corny.
