I guess I can convince myself by rewatching if it actually is good, but:
Cabin in the Woods.
Tap for spoiler
I understand they were going for meta-horror, but it was so in your face, so mediocre, so shallow.Scream series is far better meta horror imo.
blade runner 2049. It's a crap story with crap acting and direction. The visuals are just bad. I have no idea why it's so liked.
Airplane. Dodgeball.
I am prepared for your animosity.
With you on airplane. I can't stand Leslie Neilson.
Surely you can't be serious?
Dont call me Shirley!
Honest question because I’m curious. Why can’t you stand him?
A Complete Unknown. It was very long, and I just found Bob and his life a bit boring. Apart from the music, of course.
any of the new MCU movies post-endgame. they were so generic, and it was clear some of the movies ran out of money on cgi or animation.
I don't really get the hype for Citizen Kane.
Though, I kinda think it might be because growing up, this movie was spoiled in almost every cartoon I ever saw ("Rosebud" was the punchline of so many jokes) and maybe not knowing the ending would have made it better. 🤷🏻♂️
That right there is the millennial experience.
So many culturally defining movies came out before the 1980s that by the time you're being raised in the 90's, they're making children's media that references it. I knew the plot of Star Wars long before I saw it.
My favorite example is The Mask of Zorro, which...not an old film, but it came out when I was slightly young for it. A few years go by, I'm in high school, and Shrek comes out. Then it's sequel, with a swashbuckling orange cat voiced by Antonio Banderas. And then I eventually catch Mask of Zorro, and laugh through the entire thing because holy shit the main character sounds exactly like Puss In Boots.
Mad Max: Fury Road. I thought that was dumbest, most caveman pleasing trash that has ever received that much acclaim. Truly, the entire movie is designed to make a caveman go, "OOhhhH!.... WwAaHh!... FFIIRE!.... DwWoOah!..... HaHhh!..... OOhhhH! LaDy!!...HhaHh!... MAD!!.....WoOoHhh!"
I enjoyed it. Great cinematography and practical effects. My wife? Not so much. She broke it down as.. "oh look! They drove away! Then the drove back! The end! That was the whole movie!"

This thread is crazy, so many hot takes in here!
One of the worst I've ever seen is the Korean film 'Stray Dogs' (2014). There is so much unnecessary sexual violence towards women in this film and almost none of it has any relevance to the story. It's not like a rape revenge thing either where the victim eventually comes out on top - in this film the victim is a blind woman who cannot even defend herself with a knife she is given. The supposed protagonist of the film rapes his wife at the beginning and then engages in voyeurism for much of the film while this poor blind woman is raped every single night by the entire town. When he finally decides to do something about it he is absolutely fucking hopeless, as are the townspeople attempting to stop him. It is so misogynistic and poorly written, I have no idea why anyone agreed to be in it. Anyone who enjoyed this film should go on some kind of watch list.
