Do you just not like war movies?
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
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.
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?
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!
Everything Disney did with Star Wars
Rian johnson is a national treasure!!!
Super Mario Bros (1993) - it is just horrible, the only good thing about the movie is that it has a practical Yoshi puppet.
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.
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.
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.
Gone With The Wind
Avatar. Good Lord what bad acting and visual dynamics will do for a movie.
You mean 'Pocahontas with blue people'?
I never understood why people liked it so much...
I feel like I'll wait for the next one to come out then watch both in a row
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!
