Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

Twister.

The movie is like a big turkey dinner meal and Ambien to me. I have fell asleep trying to watch it at least 3x... now I own the movie and if I am super restless I will put it on to sleep.

The French Dispatch.

God what a boring piece of crap, and people seem to think it's all the rage.

Alita Battle Angel was such a disappointment. After years of people telling me how good it was I finally caved in and watched it on Netflix. What an absolute statement to mediocrity that movie is.
Realistically, who was the target audience for this movie?
The narrative was all over the place. Even Christoph Walzs presence couldn't save that movie. The most laughable part of movies like that is always people trying to escape the slums and systemic oppression but then the slums look 10 times better then most of our real world suburbs. People wearing quality clothing, kids playing games in the streets, big houses and apartments, advanced technologies and scifi medical care, markets with fresh food etc. and a few criminals roaming the streets at night, boo fucking hoo. Yet the story tries to sell me that this is the worst fate possible and the only way out is up to the riches. Also the main character is a bigger Marry Sue than Rey from Star Wars. I knew how the movie is going to end after the first 5 minutes. The only surprising part is that they are trying to stretch this pile of trash over multiple parts.
I also don't understand the praise the animation received. Yes it's well animated, but this isn't 2008, where CGI was still in it's infancy. It not looking like trash, would be at least expected - not something to loose tour marbles over.
Maybe next time Hollywood picks a Manga to turn into a movie, they should pick something with more substance. Edge of Tomorrow is prove that it can be done.

Tolkein.

I tried watching the new tolkein Rohirrim movie. There were clues I would hate it already, but they started with one of those 'tolkein songs' like by elves or whatever ~one of the ones where he's like modeling the dialect on some euro language and being a nerd with glasses in the library holding up a schematic of what he just made and being like, "it's music". So it started with that and I was done. did not get past opening song.

Probably most films by Darren Aronofsky. Pi and The Fountain are some of the worst movies I've seen. Feels like someone's artsy shroom trip. I dislike most "artsy" movies without a coherent story.

Also a lot of horror classics bores me to death. For example The Omen, Poltergeist, The Exorcist.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Absolute incompetence start to finish. Low IQ fans go "Woooo! Vader's a BADASS!" ignoring how it completely fucks up the opening of Star Wars.

The Shawshank Redemption. My boyfriend at the time absolutely loved this film. I can't stand it. Blokes in prison are so Noble and Misunderstood. They deserve to be free! Bleurgh.

I'm curious to know how that was your takeaway from the movie. The protagonist was wrongly imprisoned and I thought the film thoroughly demonstrated the worst of humanity in some of the incarcerated, juxtaposed against the corruption of prison staff and the protagonist's own struggle for a pretty powerful message.

Maybe I need to watch it again. It's been years.

Not necessarily hate, but did not like as much as the rest of the internet: Oppenheimer

The moment I left the theater, I thought it should have been longer. Yes, I think an already 3hr film should be even longer. Just torture the audience at this point. But I thought that there was just so much stuff to cram into that 3hr length, there was not enough room for the story to breath, even if those stories were needed to paint a better picture of Oppenheimer's life, morals, and conflicts.

I'd still recommend it to people. If anything, it's still a visually well directed film. But if you aren't a physics/history buff, you might not enjoy the story as much.

In my opinion, a better history based movie would be The Imitation Game. Much more focused story, even if some aren't historically accurate.

I hate that movie too, but because I read the book and it was great. they completely ruined all the story and worldbuilding to make it a shitty feel-good movie for tweens.
