Movies most people think are great but you think suck

[Patty's Stubby Fingers]

Fight Club is an objectively terrible movie.

Without the twist it's a waste of time

Prey (2022) stunk

 

[Patty's Stubby Fingers]

Clockwork Orange

2001 A Space Odyssey has some cool effects but the movie totally blows. WWAWD Kubrick fucking sucks

Garbage. That was the last movie I saw in IMAX (and when I realized that whole experience is just overrated af in general) and I remember being completely bored throughout the entire 2nd half of it. The fact that it was Cameron's first movie since Titanic meant it had a huge amount of hype around it but it was forgettable shite.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Lord of the Rings (any of them)

Inception

Why do people not like inception? I thought it was a pretty cool movie with a neat premise and great visuals.

 

[Gronez_Bambatta]

I agree with Lord of the Rings.

I've never heard anyone say anything good about Avatar. I'd say they tried to make it a cultural thing like Star Wars and it failed big time.

Disagree on Inception, but due to the dialog I can understand why people don't like it.

Avatar blew Joe Rogans mind apparently, that's reason enough for me to never watch it

platoon. it's melodramatic tripe and doesn't come anywhere close to holding a candle to the superior vietnam war movie, apocalypse now (the greatest film of all time)

Maybe I should give it another chance. I watched it on dvd, stoned, around 2011. Only remember it being long and not caring what happened to any of the characters

I think the main reason I liked it was the novelty of something original instead of yet another goddamn sequel. There's a few weird plot holes but otherwise it's cool.

I agree. The big complaint was that the characters spoke unnaturally to convey what was happening to the audience. But the entire movie is pretty original and fun. It's the last truly novel movie I've seen and it came out what, 13 years ago?

Thank you. Fuck that thing sucks. "No see he was both guys all along!"

My personal pick is Heat

The Deer hunter stinks. Basically deniro is Cimino's self insert character so he's cool and capable and tough and everyone else is a buffoon. Also Cimino lied about having served in Vietnam so it's basically all bullshit, and he grafted on that retarded Russian Roulette plot from a book even though it really has no purpose.

Terminator 2 holds up pretty well for how old it is

I’m one of the few that like the first terminator over the second one. But T2 does hold up special effects wise because of James Cameron being so focused on it. Thanks to CGI you’ve got movies that have action scenes that look dated a month after they come out. Just shoot it on a green screen and fix it in post. Lazy!

I remember hearing from people who saw it in theaters claim it’s their favorite movie - until they saw it on their TVs without all the IMAX / glasses / etc and realized it was a piece of shit without the full special effect presentation.

I agree, platoon is good but not great. Now it’s hard to explain to younger people Vietnam war movies since it’s so long ago and for the most part not even talked about anymore.

Have you see the Apocalypse Now 4K remaster? Picture quality is amazing

I hated the Virgin Suicides. Can't sit through the whole thing.

To me it’s a good, but not great movie. I liked it and all and it was well done but I haven’t had a desire to watch it again

I haven't, but I've heavily considered buying the final cut blu-ray. thing is, I'm one of the few people who actually prefers the redux, and the final cut cuts out my favourite addition in the redux (the playboy bunnies scene)

I think the issue is it would be done better as an animation, and that would be plagiarism. It's called Paprika.

I know some people loved “Joker” but I couldn’t get into it because it reminded me too much of “King of Comedy” which just made me want to watch that instead. A guy I worked with told me he liked it and I asked if he saw King of Comedy since it pretty much the same movie and he said no. I told him what King of Comedy was about and he said “holy shit that is the same movie”

Same issue with Inception! Joker stinks.
