Honestly, any of the Monty Python movies. I know people love them, and they have a few funny jokes. But man are they ever drab, I just can’t get into them.
Avengers. Any of them, probably.
Uwe Boll’s “Alone in the dark”
I rented that movie, and it was so bad that half way through it I turned it off. When I went back to the rental store they offered me my money back.
I said no. Because some lessons have to be painful in order to learn from them.
All the Presidents Men. I can see why its a classic, but every time I try to sit down and watch it, i wake up at the end with the typewriter going.
Super Mario Bros (1993) - it is just horrible, the only good thing about the movie is that it has a practical Yoshi puppet.
Once upon a time in Hollywood.
Closely followed by anything that’s self-jerking Hollywood’s ego. I’m looking at you too La La Land!
Gone With The Wind
I know this is heresy but any Godfather movie, or the Sopranos, or anything that romanticizes the fucking mafia. To me organized crime characters are pieces of shit I can’t admire or relate to. The only movie that ever made me root for gangster types was Pulp Fiction, which is a masterpiece.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Absolute snoozefest with possibly the worst cast leads in modern history.
I respect your opinion and fully disagree.
This was universally panned, so I don’t think you hit the prompt.
Saving Private Ryan.
Absolutely hated it.
Do you just not like war movies?
I don’t mind them. I knew what I was getting into when I went to the theater I simply did not like that particular movie.
Eternal Sunshine if a Spotless Mind has such good reviews and people speak fondly of it online. I hated it, just thought both characters were insufferable, and there was nothing remotely romantic about it. Felt like I was trapped in the bad relationship with them.
I thought I was alone with this opinion. There are dozens of us!
Oppenheimer.
3 hrs of nausea-inducing quick cuts
I couldn’t get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.
I upvote you for being brave enough to voice your opinion on this.
I like the movies but hey everyone doesn’t like everything
Me neither but to be fair I don’t like fantasy, adventure or fighting lol. My brother convinced me to have a LOTR marathon and lemme tell ya I got a LOT of laundry done that day…
Now that is an unpopular opinion.
This is like an opinion some Easterling would have. /j ;)
What if i told you its got a frypan wielding, tater tasting, gardener?
I completely understand you, even as a fan. Tolkien style of fantasy aged like milk. It’s contribution to the genre and literature as a whole is impossible to measure, but it’s just not fun anymore if you never saw it before. The movies aged a little better, but still not great. Anyone who says otherwise has either seen his work a very long time ago, or is looking at it with nostalgia glasses. Noone in 2025 could get through all the goofy-ass singing, lack of any shades of gray, unrealistic battles, and tree branch backstories without rolling their eyes once or twice. It really requires the viewer to not treat it too seriously, something like orginal Star Wars Trilogy.
BladeRunner - is like they wrote the screenplay based on the excellent source novel, then cut most of the ideas out, leaving only things that make no sense. Rick Deckard is a terrible detective, and only wins the final confrontation because Roy Batty… just gives up? I recently decided that my teenage self might have been wrong and rewatched it… nah, still terrible.
The directors cut/final cut does improve the plot line but admittedly the original movie is more vibes than substance. I think a lot of the “neo-tokyo” cyberpunk aesthetic we take for granted had tropes which originated in this film.
I’m pretty sure my recent rewatch was the director’s cut. The theatrical release must have been indecipherable. I hear what you’re saying about the cyberpunk aesthetic - the visuals were the best thing about this movie. I would thoroughly recommend scifi buffs reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick - it’s an excellent (and not overly long) dystopian novella that has so many layers and themes (that Blade Runner largely omitted).
I think the best way to experience a blend between the two is either the graphic novel of “Do Androids Dream […]” or the Blade Runner PC adventure game, which fleshes out the story.
Oooh, there’s an Androids graphic novel?!
There is!
Everything Disney did with Star Wars
Idk Andor is some of the best star wars ever. Even considering the original 3.
Also the lightsaber tech that they have adds so much to the visuals of the movies and TV. Having lightsabers that actually glow AND allow for contact during combat is just incredible.
Good try but no, not interested
I mean I guess that’s fair, but Rouge One and Andor are peak star wars. And if you don’t wanna watch them just cause they happened under Disney then you’re missing out
I saw the first few Disney SW movies and I don’t think I’m missing out on anything they’re throwing off the assembly line these days.
Also, I wouldn’t have commented under this post if someone I don’t even know could change my mind about this that easily.
Yeah that whole trilogy sucks. But Rouge One and Andor are completely and totally separate. Made by a different team entirely.
Like I said, i know I won’t change your mind but it’s really stupid to discount the 4th highest rated star wars movie (after the original trilogy) just cause they came from Star wars.
But I can’t make you watch anything so I guess have fun missing out lol
That’s okay, I can live with that. I’m not big into watching anything to begin with because sitting down and just watching something for hours feels incredibly boring to me.
But I respect you for trying and I’m glad ithe movies are something you enjoy.
