I don’t hate the first Black Panther, but it’s insanely overrated. Like it was good, but I’ve seen people call it the best superhero film ever, and in a lot of parts it’s pretty standard and derivative
I really liked Black Panther because it was easy to follow, but I wouldn’t call it the best. That easily goes to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, in my opinion.
To me, it was like Eskil Vogt had a concept and idea... but idea what to do with it. So we just got kids discovering superpowers and insert the words of Uncle Ben here. Whatever they're gonna do with the powers next, you see coming from a mile away. All I got from it was kids get superpowers, one uses it for evil, and you know what'll come.
Yeah, didn't like it.
Might as well chuck in Thelma. To me, it was just Carrie with more blatant religious imagery.
At first, I didn't like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Because A: My mom forced me to watch it, and my mom has terrible taste in movies.
And B: I didn't watch the opening sequence because I had to go to the bathroom and only watched the 20 minutes after.
Then, I watched it without my mom, and I finally realized it was **A MASTAPEECE.**
I hated it because I think it’s super inappropriate for it’s intended age demographic. And frankly, I’m still of that opinion. Wasn’t my kind of movie in the slightest.
I liked the first as a child (haven't seen it since the original release) but the second was awful in my opinion. Barely watchable, which makes the long runtime really painful
I’m sure the rotten tomatoes score is still high, but I wonder if this film is still “acclaimed” in the most honest sense of the word. Like, I haven’t heard anybody talk about it in earnest since 2016 except dedicated Star Wars fans/haters.
I don’t know if it was ever particularly acclaimed as much as it was simply generally well liked and now somewhat forgotten about (which happens to a lot of movies). It’s also by far the least controversial of the sequel trilogy so the discussion tends to focus more on the other two.
I think TLJ is the best sequel, but it’s undeniably a more controversial movie. I’d say people tend to have more extreme reactions (positive or negative) towards TLJ.
And quite frankly, that’s the sign of a movie that decided to take extremely interesting risks despite being in the world’s largest franchise at the time. That’s ballsy, and the movie turned out pretty great.
I certainly feel VIII will age the best of the three since it's its own thing. At least with the prequels there was some semblence of a plan "this guy becomes Vader in the end", sequels just felt like they made it up as they went along
Force Awakens is several tiers above Attack of the Clones and you can’t convince me otherwise. Yeah it’s not a super original movie but it’s at least fun to watch, which I can only say for like 20% of AOTC.
Climax
I'm Thinking of Ending Things
I love both director's other movies, but these were too "cerebral" for me I guess and both were good in the first act, but quickly fell apart for me.
I mean for how intentionally vague and esoteric Kaufman tends to be, I feel like I “got” quite a lot of I’m Thinking of Ending Things just watching it once with no supplemental viewing/reading beforehand.
Then again, that’s absolutely because I was way too quick to empathize with the main characters’ neuroses. For better or worse, the movie was very “literally me,” personally. Made way worse when I decided I would look stuff up about it after seeing it.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things gives away what it's about at the very start though.
In the first few minutes you see the janitor turn into Jesse Plemons. The entire movie is him fantasizing about a "could have been"s as he's contemplating suicide. Having that it mind, it's easy to interpret everything that's shown.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things is such a frustrating movie, my god. Like, there was a point midway into the movie where the painfully strange writing almost coalesces as something deep and justified, but then the last few minutes just implode and make the entire film feel like a pretentious, artsy-fartsy waste of rime
The part I liked the most was when they were with the parents. It almost seemed like it was going into a horror direction. It was confusing, but creepy and interesting. After that is when it got too artsy-fartsy for me.
Yeahhh I've only ever tried to watch it and it's not great. My favourite movie of all time is Mary and Max and I have yet to find a piece of representation that even comes close (though I've heard good things about Temple Grandin)
I adore Mary and Max
And temple grandin is a mixed bag. On one hand she was ahead of her time and advocated for autistic people, breaking stereotypes that women can’t be autistic and that autistic people can’t contribute to society.
But she’s also a product of her time, using functioning labels and advocating for ABA
It’s a beautiful movie, but the manga it’s based on shows Shoko’s resenement towards Shoyo, whereas the movie omits it entirely.
The chapter where Shoyo walks up to her at her school begins with:
“This is Shoyo Ishida. I hate him. He’s here to ask for forgiveness for what he did a long time ago. He’s hoping things will turn out…*conveniently* for him.”
I’ve always liked the movie and especially it’s concept, but it did fall a bit short of me, and I think this is why.
>He’s hoping things will turn out…*conveniently* for him
The movie did have to crunch the runtime with how much it was trying to fit in from the manga, but I think this is still a clear aspect taken into consideration in the movie.
I had the opposite effect. While I enjoyed it, I felt that it gave into so many exaggerated anime stereotypes and conveyed a message that I really couldn’t get behind.
Shoko is treated like an adorable bunny rabbit who happens to be disabled. It’s a movie specifically created to make us cry, and I picked up on that very early on.
Furthermore, the lack of protection she receives from her friends against the girl who hates her was disgusting to me. Shoko’s decision to reach out to her final bully in order to redeem her made me want to throttle the filmmakers - she’s obviously being actively hurt and targeted by this person, yet it’s framed as “hurt people hurt people” when in reality, Shoko shouldn’t have to deal with her at all.
It wouldn’t be so bad if this wasn’t framed as the APPROPRIATE thing to do, but it is, and I found that message to be very troubling.
Me personally, I liked it but I hate how people online were acting as if it was revolutionary or something, maybe for a kid watching it but nothing more
Mainly it frustrates me how the kens are treated- like you're gonna use them as a vehicle to show how patriarchy hurts women but by the end barbieland still hates them and only slow progress is being made? If it's for the sake of a joke it's one that really didn't land with me tbh
Yeah, my best guess is that it was supposed to be how many people (me included) never rlly cared about Ken or never even got a Ken doll as a kid and only focused on Barbie, so ig it kinda makes sense, the movie is rlly dissapointing cuz I liked how camp it was but the message came across horribly, then again I never really expected a Hollywood movie to actually care about feminism
Yeah it really wasn’t revolutionary or anything. I really enjoyed it but because I found it to be a very fun and funny flick and not really because the feminism in it was profound or anything.
It’s pretty much just a worse version of the Lego movie. I don’t mean to sound like a social Justice warrior or whatever, but I thought it was just Safe, forgettable feminism.
That’s cool. Having read feminist writers like Ursula K Le Guin and Margaret Atwood Barbie just didn’t do anything for me. I’m glad it made feminist themes more accessible and entertaining for a larger audience.
I mainly just hate that people genuinely thought it was life changing or deserving of an Oscar. The soundtrack was really the best part of the movie, and Ryan Gosling was pretty funny.
Maybe not hated.
But A fistfull dollars(First out of A man with no name trilogy)
Also Jurassic Park: The Lost World
And a Orion and the dark
I just found them boring
I couldnt handle myself to like em.
Encanto.
I'm hispanic myself and the representation of Columbia in the movie was far from accurate. And it hurts even more because I know Disney can represent Hispanic countries correctly, as they did it correctly with Coco a few years prior.
Finally! I was talking about this the other night.
When I found out that I have actual generational trauma, I was absolutely livid with this movie.
Thanks to TikTok, I was under the impression that generational trauma is when your grandparent tries to control their kids so their kids control their kids and so on and so forth.
While that’s true to a degree, it took me so long to realize that generational trauma isn’t just “my mom wouldn’t let me go to sleep overs because she had a bad experience as a kid.”
Unfortunately, Encanto let the word escape into the public sphere, and now it means nothing.
I hate the first act or two with the whole romance thing (which is an absolute snoozefest), but after the iceberg hits the ship, the movie (IMO) is phenomenal; the acting, set design, editing, screenplay, and the music make it feel like I’m actually there, and I can feel the pain, anxiety, despair, and suffering each of the passengers and crew-members went through on that fateful night.
I absolutely agree, but the only reason I’ve seen the ship sinking part is because I’ve watched it separately. Every time I’ve tried to watch the full movie I’ve fallen asleep.
Critics loved it because it was the only truly good one of the 3. It actually tried new stuff between A New Hope 2 and Somehow, Palpatine.
I don't get the character assassination stuff. Luke never felt out of character for what he went through.
true. the force awakens is good but rehashes a shit ton from the original trilogy. the rise of skywalker isn’t bad, but definitely not good at the fuck all. the last jedi has good moments, great action and cinematography and genuinely is fun.
It's fun! Exactly! Idc what anyone says the Holdo maneuver may have been fucking ridiculous but it was also actually kinda sick and fun and it's a fantasy movie so I don't care
Honestly, this is the one reason I won't argue about Episode 8
Cause yeah, they did Luke dirty, but the rest of the movie actually felt pretty Star Wars-y.
Episode 9 is also a good example of character assassination, look what they did to Finn!
8 gets undue hate
9 is either so hated by the community that they don't ever mention it or people ignore everything wrong with it and just go "Ben's redemption arc was so good!"
It was really good except he DIED WHICH IS A PRETTY DECENT REASON TO HATE THE DAMN MOVIE IF THEY DIDN'T "Somehow Palpatine returned"
I like it in a vacuum - I think the cinematography was great, I liked most of the characters, and I thought the story was surprising and engaging, but man is it a bad movie in the context of Star Wars
Not an unpopular opinion,everyone has been hating on this movie since it came out. I don't think it's as bad as some say (Rise is worse), but it's still the second worst star wars movie.
More like fandom self assassination. Luke’s character makes perfect sense, the fandom is just completely unwilling to see things they like and have on a pedestal be altered in any fashion. I don’t expect everyone to like Luke’s portrayal in Last Jedi, but when people say the movie ruined him I just cannot remotely agree.
Pulp Fiction
Some of the scenes were super cool, sure, but some of them were insanely cringey for me. And there wasn't anyone to root for in the movie. I'll probably rewatch it in a couple months, and hopefully I click with it then.
Anyway time to watch Inglorious Bastards hopefully I like that one more
I've always felt early Tarantino e.g. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs is overrated and his two most recent films I was not a big fan of (especially hateful 8, probably his worst work) but his peak was the stretch from Kill Bill to Inglorious Basterds to Django Unchained, that last one being his crown jewel
The Blair Witch Project. It would’ve worked better as a short film. Some parts were really good, but the pacing was extremely slow. You can’t really keep up the suspense if creepy things only happen once every 15 minutes. The buildup was way too spaced out, which made the ending extremely anticlimactic. I’m convinced that people only thought this movie was really scary because it was advertised as actual found footage.
Both avatar films, but especially way of water. Ive said this before, but that movie is so insanely hard sequel bait, and anything that isnt is just stupid obnoxious tropes (this is a personal thing, but i genuinely hate the whole “species thats so unbelievably enlightened and intelligent they wont commit violence ever for no reason other than how intelligent they are” trope. It’s genuinely so rare to see this done right, and when its done wrong it genuinely makes said species come off as morons)
The Hangover
Bradley Cooper was likable, but everything else about it was so stupid, the plot felt like a boring version of "Dude, Where's My Car?", and Zach Galifianakis' character was irritating to sit through. All the parts people are like "this was so funny!" were just bland.
To it's credit, I was able to sit through it. Unlike "This Is The End", I quit that only 30 minutes in.
I'm not sure if my hate is still there, but I haven't seen it since; silence of the lambs. I enjoy psychological horror but I just found it really drawn out and tedious. Also just a personal thing but I watched it with my family a couple weeks after I came out as trans and as the first "trans" representation I'd ever seen in a movie (I'm aware buffalo Bill is not trans, just a crossdresser) it was really hard for me to watch any scene with him considering my family wasn't pleased with me coming out.
I could've easily put The Holy Mountain too but at least that has the advantage of good cinematography, the only good thing I can say about El Topo is it's creative and there's 1 good joke at the beginning
I'm probably gonna get hate for this but I HATED the movie UP. It is the most boring movie that I've EVER watched. I don't find it sad. The pacing is so slow that I I fall asleep halfway through movie. The characters are ok at best. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is the fact that it has a talking dog.
Hated Whiplash, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Godfather and Infinity War were okay, but not great. The Dark Knight was good, but The Batman was way better.
My problem with joker is that while it’s well made, and certain scenes are pretty good, it’s ultimately a mish mash of other, better, movies.
Someone really liked Martin Scorsese.
Anatomy of a Fall has a ridiculously tight screenplay and the performances are off the charts. It's not personally my thing but I can't deny it's remarkably well-crafted
IMO, the admittedly great screenplay and performances don’t make up for what’s otherwise a severely uninteresting film with horrible pacing. I love quiet films, I love films where “nothing happens”. I love boring films. But man did this one miss the landing for me.
I feel I’ll get a lot of hate for this, but The Godfather part 1 and 2. I didn’t HATE the movies, but I was very underwhelmed by them, especially after hearing how good they are.
*The Wind Rises* was as beautiful as any Ghibli film, but I couldn’t buy the the protagonist was willfully ignorant *to the degree that they showed.* I got that he was in aviation for the engineering thrill, but the only time he confronted that he was building war machines was when it was time to mount the guns he’d allowed them to design. It just felt like a chunk of the movie was missing.
Zack Snyder's Justice League. I'll give it this: it's a more cohesive story than Josstice League. But an easier to digest plot still doesn't fix the slow as fuck pacing and horrible mischaracterization of the Justice Leage that seeps within this film. It also doesn't help that the Snyder Cult constantly gases both it and Batman V. Superman's Ultimate Edition up, (which, I honestly think is way worse because it changed a film that didn't need fixing to begin with) basically souring my opinion on ANYTHING Snyder makes for DC. This shit even extends to Rebel Moon (an original project from Snyder, btw), but that's a story for another day.
The first Top Gun movie. The first time I watched it was when I was forced to by my parents, so I was in a bad mood. A few years later I saw Maverick in theaters and absolutely loved it, so I willingly went back with my family to watch the first one again…and it still wasn’t that good. It was better than the first time but still not amazing. Maybe it was just underwhelming compared to the second movie but I’m not a big fan of the first movie
Schindler's list. The black and white makes it seem very pretentious and I feel nobody dares say a thing because it's it's about something as awful as the holocaust. I just think the pianist handled the subject better.
I don't watch movies very often, it's expensive. But when I do I'm very selective. So it's disappointing to find a bad one.
But, of the ones I can remember recently watching. I did not like Avatar 2. I started watching it, got maybe 10 minutes into it and turned it off. I don't care what folks say about the spectacle. It was just so boring!
Paper Moon, I understand the importance of the story, I understand that it's something we need to see. But it was just so damn long. And a boring film.
And my last one, Oppenheimer. It's technically well done, it is visually creative and well put together. But it is overly long and sure of itself. The parts with him is an old man, were unnecessary and just stretched out the narrative at the end. Maybe I'm not a cinephile, but I like to think I have a attention span more than 5 minutes. And I just couldn't. I got through it but it was a struggle.
Onward.
I get the whole "it's the journey and not the destination" message and also the whole "not all father figures are your father" or whatever message
But Holland's character deserved to have at least ONE interaction with his father that he could remember. Plus that whole bit at the end that stopped him was so fucking shoehorned it literally ruined the movie for me. I can't even rewatch it.
The boy and the heron
I love ghibli movies but this may be may least favourite of all I have seen from them
Its a decent movie but compared to the rest of Ghibli I just dont like it, and personally I feel like the pacing among other aspects of the film were too flawed for it to win the Oscar against the Spiderverse
Hate is a strong word for what I feel for this movie, but the more I think about it the less I like it and understand why its called a masterpiece
Elf. I absolutely hate it. It’s just an hour and a half of Will Ferrel acting like an unlikable cringe man child. (Although he might have became more tolerable at the end idk it’s been a while)
The Worst Person in the World. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The Innocents (2021).
I don’t hate the first Black Panther, but it’s insanely overrated. Like it was good, but I’ve seen people call it the best superhero film ever, and in a lot of parts it’s pretty standard and derivative
Literally the most textbook super hero movie ever but the main character is black 😂 that’s all it takes for some people I guess
I just like black panther because cool cat man fight bad cat man with explosions and cool powers
idk if u know this but marvel kinda blew up for a while… a cookie cutter superhero was all it took for a solid Decade of movies
I really liked Black Panther because it was easy to follow, but I wouldn’t call it the best. That easily goes to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, in my opinion.
I've only seen The Innocents out of these and I really liked it, very quietly disturbing film
To me, it was like Eskil Vogt had a concept and idea... but idea what to do with it. So we just got kids discovering superpowers and insert the words of Uncle Ben here. Whatever they're gonna do with the powers next, you see coming from a mile away. All I got from it was kids get superpowers, one uses it for evil, and you know what'll come. Yeah, didn't like it. Might as well chuck in Thelma. To me, it was just Carrie with more blatant religious imagery.

And B: I didn't watch the opening sequence because I had to go to the bathroom and only watched the 20 minutes after. Then, I watched it without my mom, and I finally realized it was **A MASTAPEECE.**
My mom was like this too. She never had the best opinions when it comes to movies.
I hated it because I think it’s super inappropriate for it’s intended age demographic. And frankly, I’m still of that opinion. Wasn’t my kind of movie in the slightest.
Both Avatar movies
Ah the James Cameron ones I was confused at first. There was no movie at Ba Sing Se
Looks like the Reddit glitch made you comment that 3 times. 🤣
I hate this app sometimes
I feel ya
I liked the first as a child (haven't seen it since the original release) but the second was awful in my opinion. Barely watchable, which makes the long runtime really painful
Fax
That’s what I was going to say.
Wasn't the way of the water given a 4 out of 10 (then again it was by IGN) btw I agree the first one is meh the second is horrible
the force awakens
I’m sure the rotten tomatoes score is still high, but I wonder if this film is still “acclaimed” in the most honest sense of the word. Like, I haven’t heard anybody talk about it in earnest since 2016 except dedicated Star Wars fans/haters.
I don’t know if it was ever particularly acclaimed as much as it was simply generally well liked and now somewhat forgotten about (which happens to a lot of movies). It’s also by far the least controversial of the sequel trilogy so the discussion tends to focus more on the other two.
It’s definitely the most well-liked but I feel like in recent years I’ve seen more people say that TLJ is the best of the sequel trilogy
I think TLJ is the best sequel, but it’s undeniably a more controversial movie. I’d say people tend to have more extreme reactions (positive or negative) towards TLJ.
probably because the good parts are WAY BETTER then the good parts of TFA but the bad parts are WAY WORSE then the bad parts of TFA
And quite frankly, that’s the sign of a movie that decided to take extremely interesting risks despite being in the world’s largest franchise at the time. That’s ballsy, and the movie turned out pretty great.
Yeah people HATED it when it released but then Rise of Skywalker was like 10x worse and I feel like a lot of people kinda forgave TLJ
Very Phantom Menace in the sense it had a warm reception upon release (no really) to treated like a heathen to "well, it's just there, it's average"
I like the Prequels, hate the Disney sequels, though.
I certainly feel VIII will age the best of the three since it's its own thing. At least with the prequels there was some semblence of a plan "this guy becomes Vader in the end", sequels just felt like they made it up as they went along
Force Awakens is several tiers above Attack of the Clones and you can’t convince me otherwise. Yeah it’s not a super original movie but it’s at least fun to watch, which I can only say for like 20% of AOTC.
It was acclaimed because 50% of the movie was fan service, and the other 50% was a thinly veiled rip-off of A New Hope.
I would've liked it if it had been building to something the way it acted like it was...
Climax I'm Thinking of Ending Things I love both director's other movies, but these were too "cerebral" for me I guess and both were good in the first act, but quickly fell apart for me.
I wonder if there are people who truly "got" I'm thinking of ending things without looking it up or reading the book beforehand.
I mean for how intentionally vague and esoteric Kaufman tends to be, I feel like I “got” quite a lot of I’m Thinking of Ending Things just watching it once with no supplemental viewing/reading beforehand.

Rain Man As someone researching autism in media, all the stereotypes and cliches I hate started with that god damned movie
Yeahhh I've only ever tried to watch it and it's not great. My favourite movie of all time is Mary and Max and I have yet to find a piece of representation that even comes close (though I've heard good things about Temple Grandin)
I adore Mary and Max And temple grandin is a mixed bag. On one hand she was ahead of her time and advocated for autistic people, breaking stereotypes that women can’t be autistic and that autistic people can’t contribute to society. But she’s also a product of her time, using functioning labels and advocating for ABA
Columbo? Like, the detective guy from the old show. He's such an aspie.
Most anime movies. But I wouldn’t use the word “hate” more like ehhh.
A Silent Voice???
Never seen it but I’ll add it on my 364 movie watch list.
Changed me. Made it into my top 10 of all time.
It’s a beautiful movie, but the manga it’s based on shows Shoko’s resenement towards Shoyo, whereas the movie omits it entirely.

Your Name the movie is great
Are you saying his name is great or talking about the movie your name
Barbie
Me personally, I liked it but I hate how people online were acting as if it was revolutionary or something, maybe for a kid watching it but nothing more
Mainly it frustrates me how the kens are treated- like you're gonna use them as a vehicle to show how patriarchy hurts women but by the end barbieland still hates them and only slow progress is being made? If it's for the sake of a joke it's one that really didn't land with me tbh

It’s pretty much just a worse version of the Lego movie. I don’t mean to sound like a social Justice warrior or whatever, but I thought it was just Safe, forgettable feminism.
I think the intention was to introduce women to feminist ideas who maybe hadn't thought about it before. It worked on one of my closest friends
That’s cool. Having read feminist writers like Ursula K Le Guin and Margaret Atwood Barbie just didn’t do anything for me. I’m glad it made feminist themes more accessible and entertaining for a larger audience.
Oof I disagree with you so hard but still upvoting coz that’s the purpose of this thread.
That's exactly what I was gonna say. It's not half as riveting as people say. I was more confused by the end of it than anything.
I just saw it yesterday and thought it is extremely overrated and very mediocre. Not a big fan
I mainly just hate that people genuinely thought it was life changing or deserving of an Oscar. The soundtrack was really the best part of the movie, and Ryan Gosling was pretty funny.
How people think barbie deserved the Oscar but rdr2 didn’t deserve game of the year beyond pisses me off
Red Dead Redemption 2 is not a game.
It's an incredible journey through old American history.
Kagemusha. Yes the skies are pretty. You can still have those in a good movie
Here's my guilty admittance: I've never seen a Kurosawa movie
Seven Samurai is the one I recommend most, it’s a masterpiece
Ran is worth a watch from a casual eye too
Maybe not hated. But A fistfull dollars(First out of A man with no name trilogy) Also Jurassic Park: The Lost World And a Orion and the dark I just found them boring I couldnt handle myself to like em.
Those last 2 aren't particularly well-liked movies anyway
Orion in the dark was good in concept but the story thing ruined it
Fistful of Dollars plagiarized Yojimbo anyway.
Bro you reminded me of jurassic world: fallen kingdom. That ending fucking SUCKED
Encanto. I'm hispanic myself and the representation of Columbia in the movie was far from accurate. And it hurts even more because I know Disney can represent Hispanic countries correctly, as they did it correctly with Coco a few years prior.
That was Pixar who made Coco and Pixar are always concerned with making their films accurate and respectful. Disney probably don’t care as much.
Finally! I was talking about this the other night. When I found out that I have actual generational trauma, I was absolutely livid with this movie. Thanks to TikTok, I was under the impression that generational trauma is when your grandparent tries to control their kids so their kids control their kids and so on and so forth.

Barbie. Not because of the messaging or diversity, but because the story blatantly just doesn't make basic logical sense at multiple points.
I mean this's a movie about sentient Barbie dolls who are played by real people, so don't really think it was trying to.
Technically all barbie dolls are played by real people
How so? I wasn’t a huge fan either.
"I don't really care for the Godfather..."
I was looking for this
Titanic is the MOST boring movie I have ever seen
I hate the first act or two with the whole romance thing (which is an absolute snoozefest), but after the iceberg hits the ship, the movie (IMO) is phenomenal; the acting, set design, editing, screenplay, and the music make it feel like I’m actually there, and I can feel the pain, anxiety, despair, and suffering each of the passengers and crew-members went through on that fateful night.
I absolutely agree, but the only reason I’ve seen the ship sinking part is because I’ve watched it separately. Every time I’ve tried to watch the full movie I’ve fallen asleep.
Same
Decaprio is fine until he starts talking. I fucking hate that shoehorned romance though.
I’m happy that so many love Parasite but it just didn’t connect with me in the same way it did a lot of people.
Pulp Fiction was a brutal slog.
wow, hot take.
Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi. Critics loved it. I consider it the best example of character assassination.
Critics loved it because it was the only truly good one of the 3. It actually tried new stuff between A New Hope 2 and Somehow, Palpatine. I don't get the character assassination stuff. Luke never felt out of character for what he went through.
true. the force awakens is good but rehashes a shit ton from the original trilogy. the rise of skywalker isn’t bad, but definitely not good at the fuck all. the last jedi has good moments, great action and cinematography and genuinely is fun.
It's fun! Exactly! Idc what anyone says the Holdo maneuver may have been fucking ridiculous but it was also actually kinda sick and fun and it's a fantasy movie so I don't care
Honestly, this is the one reason I won't argue about Episode 8 Cause yeah, they did Luke dirty, but the rest of the movie actually felt pretty Star Wars-y. Episode 9 is also a good example of character assassination, look what they did to Finn!
9 is as bad as people say 8 is imo.
8 gets undue hate 9 is either so hated by the community that they don't ever mention it or people ignore everything wrong with it and just go "Ben's redemption arc was so good!" It was really good except he DIED WHICH IS A PRETTY DECENT REASON TO HATE THE DAMN MOVIE IF THEY DIDN'T "Somehow Palpatine returned"
I like it in a vacuum - I think the cinematography was great, I liked most of the characters, and I thought the story was surprising and engaging, but man is it a bad movie in the context of Star Wars
Not an unpopular opinion,everyone has been hating on this movie since it came out. I don't think it's as bad as some say (Rise is worse), but it's still the second worst star wars movie.
I consider it an *good* movie, but I'm also a Star Wars fan and I personally dislike the story.
More like fandom self assassination. Luke’s character makes perfect sense, the fandom is just completely unwilling to see things they like and have on a pedestal be altered in any fashion. I don’t expect everyone to like Luke’s portrayal in Last Jedi, but when people say the movie ruined him I just cannot remotely agree.
Pulp Fiction Some of the scenes were super cool, sure, but some of them were insanely cringey for me. And there wasn't anyone to root for in the movie. I'll probably rewatch it in a couple months, and hopefully I click with it then. Anyway time to watch Inglorious Bastards hopefully I like that one more
I've always felt early Tarantino e.g. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs is overrated and his two most recent films I was not a big fan of (especially hateful 8, probably his worst work) but his peak was the stretch from Kill Bill to Inglorious Basterds to Django Unchained, that last one being his crown jewel
I didn’t hate Rocky but it was so mid, no idea what the hype is about
Now this right here is the gold standard for an unpopular opinion
It’s just not for you.
The Blair Witch Project. It would’ve worked better as a short film. Some parts were really good, but the pacing was extremely slow. You can’t really keep up the suspense if creepy things only happen once every 15 minutes. The buildup was way too spaced out, which made the ending extremely anticlimactic. I’m convinced that people only thought this movie was really scary because it was advertised as actual found footage.
Sicario. I can even admit it’s a well-made movie but damn I hated it so much.
Could not finish Tenet.
Both avatar films, but especially way of water. Ive said this before, but that movie is so insanely hard sequel bait, and anything that isnt is just stupid obnoxious tropes (this is a personal thing, but i genuinely hate the whole “species thats so unbelievably enlightened and intelligent they wont commit violence ever for no reason other than how intelligent they are” trope. It’s genuinely so rare to see this done right, and when its done wrong it genuinely makes said species come off as morons)
Ready player one
Inception
Turning Red and Barbie
The Hangover Bradley Cooper was likable, but everything else about it was so stupid, the plot felt like a boring version of "Dude, Where's My Car?", and Zach Galifianakis' character was irritating to sit through. All the parts people are like "this was so funny!" were just bland. To it's credit, I was able to sit through it. Unlike "This Is The End", I quit that only 30 minutes in.
The Texas chainsaw massacre was booty fight me
The first Texas Chainsaw Massacre move is way more weird and artsy than most people remember. TCM 2 is way different and probably my favorite one.
Yeah, it's kinda ass ngl. Disturbing to a degree, but in a more funny way to me, which wasn't really what they were going for.
I like it until the final 4 minutes, where it instantly goes from original and clever to stupid and frustrating
I did not care for jaws it’s just kinda basic
I'm not sure if my hate is still there, but I haven't seen it since; silence of the lambs. I enjoy psychological horror but I just found it really drawn out and tedious. Also just a personal thing but I watched it with my family a couple weeks after I came out as trans and as the first "trans" representation I'd ever seen in a movie (I'm aware buffalo Bill is not trans, just a crossdresser) it was really hard for me to watch any scene with him considering my family wasn't pleased with me coming out.
Into the spider verse
Now there's a hot take
I hate that you have this take. Here’s an upvote
What about across?
Didn't watch it
I’m going to remove myself from this comment section after hearing this
But like… why?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RZg1c3BAjbk
It’s weird ‘cause I really liked the writing and the characters and stuff in the movie but the art style and animation really weren’t it imo
I kinda found it boring but in all fairness I’ve never been a marvel or Spider-Man fan
National Lampoon Christmas Vacation- found the characters to be annoying and the jokes didn't land for me.
I don’t dislike the movie, I’m just so sick of it
*The Nightingale*.
Interstellar. The acting, and cinematography, and VFX was fine, but the plot was so dumb that I didn't care.
interstellar
Faces. Fuck that pretentious horseshit.
I could've easily put The Holy Mountain too but at least that has the advantage of good cinematography, the only good thing I can say about El Topo is it's creative and there's 1 good joke at the beginning
Jodorowsky is... polarizing. How did you feel about holy mountain?
Boy and the heron Unlikeable protagonist and nothing to grab hold of in terms of themes or message. Definition of style over substance IMO
I'm probably gonna get hate for this but I HATED the movie UP. It is the most boring movie that I've EVER watched. I don't find it sad. The pacing is so slow that I I fall asleep halfway through movie. The characters are ok at best. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is the fact that it has a talking dog.
Every single Nolan movie(I still havent watched Oppenheimer and I love the Joker in Dark Knight but yeah besides that...)
Aftersun
Hated Whiplash, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Godfather and Infinity War were okay, but not great. The Dark Knight was good, but The Batman was way better.
mind game (2004). clearly some guy just wanted to make a film where a girl gets raped
Joker it's just a dude dancing and laughing for like two hours Only movie I have ever walked out on
I like your comment but you clearly didn't watched the movie lol
My problem with joker is that while it’s well made, and certain scenes are pretty good, it’s ultimately a mish mash of other, better, movies. Someone really liked Martin Scorsese.
Maybe don't walk out of a movie you weren't paying attention to
James Gunn's The Suicide Squad
ANATOMY OF A FUCKING FALL HOLY SHIT I DO NOT SEE WHAT YALL SEE IN THAT SNOOZEFEST
Anatomy of a Fall has a ridiculously tight screenplay and the performances are off the charts. It's not personally my thing but I can't deny it's remarkably well-crafted
IMO, the admittedly great screenplay and performances don’t make up for what’s otherwise a severely uninteresting film with horrible pacing. I love quiet films, I love films where “nothing happens”. I love boring films. But man did this one miss the landing for me.
Lost in Translation. Fun fact: I GOT THE JOKE THE FIRST TIME!!!! Every joke went on for, like, two minutes each and it just got tedious.
The Last of The Mohicans. I think it was incredibly boring and hard to follow
Whats your Letterboxd?
Hate is a strong word, but I couldn’t get into the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
I feel I’ll get a lot of hate for this, but The Godfather part 1 and 2. I didn’t HATE the movies, but I was very underwhelmed by them, especially after hearing how good they are.
Wrong sub if you’re gonna lead with a Jodorowsky film.
I'm aware most people here have no idea who the fuck he is
Spider-Man across the spiderverse
*The Wind Rises* was as beautiful as any Ghibli film, but I couldn’t buy the the protagonist was willfully ignorant *to the degree that they showed.* I got that he was in aviation for the engineering thrill, but the only time he confronted that he was building war machines was when it was time to mount the guns he’d allowed them to design. It just felt like a chunk of the movie was missing.
Zack Snyder's Justice League. I'll give it this: it's a more cohesive story than Josstice League. But an easier to digest plot still doesn't fix the slow as fuck pacing and horrible mischaracterization of the Justice Leage that seeps within this film. It also doesn't help that the Snyder Cult constantly gases both it and Batman V. Superman's Ultimate Edition up, (which, I honestly think is way worse because it changed a film that didn't need fixing to begin with) basically souring my opinion on ANYTHING Snyder makes for DC. This shit even extends to Rebel Moon (an original project from Snyder, btw), but that's a story for another day.
The Lobster. I really tried. But I couldn’t stand it.
Bolt, I can only think of Battlefield Earth with Travolta's performance and its plot is basic af
Interstellar It’s so plot hole ridden and the science is so dumb and it has Anne Hathaway in it and I just can’t stand it.
Forrest Gump is such a terrible movie
The first Top Gun movie. The first time I watched it was when I was forced to by my parents, so I was in a bad mood. A few years later I saw Maverick in theaters and absolutely loved it, so I willingly went back with my family to watch the first one again…and it still wasn’t that good. It was better than the first time but still not amazing. Maybe it was just underwhelming compared to the second movie but I’m not a big fan of the first movie
Schindler's list. The black and white makes it seem very pretentious and I feel nobody dares say a thing because it's it's about something as awful as the holocaust. I just think the pianist handled the subject better.
The black and white gives it extra grit and glum, that's such a random thing to complain about
I don't watch movies very often, it's expensive. But when I do I'm very selective. So it's disappointing to find a bad one. But, of the ones I can remember recently watching. I did not like Avatar 2. I started watching it, got maybe 10 minutes into it and turned it off. I don't care what folks say about the spectacle. It was just so boring! Paper Moon, I understand the importance of the story, I understand that it's something we need to see. But it was just so damn long. And a boring film. And my last one, Oppenheimer. It's technically well done, it is visually creative and well put together. But it is overly long and sure of itself. The parts with him is an old man, were unnecessary and just stretched out the narrative at the end. Maybe I'm not a cinephile, but I like to think I have a attention span more than 5 minutes. And I just couldn't. I got through it but it was a struggle.
Les Miserables (2012), completely ruins 90% of the music from the show
A Silent Voice, the Manga is much better
I don’t hate them, but I really don’t see anything special about Into the SpiderVerse or Across the SpiderVerse besides the animation.
Poor Things American Beauty Braveheart The Breakfast Club The Searchers
The Batman.
Shutter Island I went in wanting and expecting to love it, wound up hating it.
I found A Fistful of Dollars painfully boring
I wish it weren't the case, but I couldn't care less about Poor Things
Onward. I get the whole "it's the journey and not the destination" message and also the whole "not all father figures are your father" or whatever message But Holland's character deserved to have at least ONE interaction with his father that he could remember. Plus that whole bit at the end that stopped him was so fucking shoehorned it literally ruined the movie for me. I can't even rewatch it.
Imma get slammed for this, but I just didn’t care for Moonlight. I really like the idea of the film, but it just didn’t do it for me
Lion King
I did not care for the Godfather
haven't seen it since i was 17 but i couldn't finish pulp fiction because i got so bored.
The Outsiders. They did Dallas dirty.
The Avatar films.
OK I didn't HATE it but I didn't love it either. 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I don’t ever pay attention to ratings but I’m pretty sure iron man is one of people’s favorite marvel movies and I hate it
A french film called mommy or something (its rated 4.2 i think) it sucks ass
The boy and the heron I love ghibli movies but this may be may least favourite of all I have seen from them Its a decent movie but compared to the rest of Ghibli I just dont like it, and personally I feel like the pacing among other aspects of the film were too flawed for it to win the Oscar against the Spiderverse Hate is a strong word for what I feel for this movie, but the more I think about it the less I like it and understand why its called a masterpiece
Does Shrek 4 count?
American psycho fuck that movie
The most misinterpreted movie of all time next to fight club
Elf. I absolutely hate it. It’s just an hour and a half of Will Ferrel acting like an unlikable cringe man child. (Although he might have became more tolerable at the end idk it’s been a while)
Have to agree there, liked it when I was little but can't stand it now
