Movies you didn't like, that everyone else loved. - General

[QUOTE=booster;29725324]Requiem of a dream I just didn't care about dopehead kids that much. It didn't interest me what so ever.[/QUOTE] wow, that is actually on my top best movies. well I hated all of the "epic movie"-esque movies where as my friends are all like "that shit is hilarious"

Battle Royale. I didn't think it did the book justice at all, though I did think the classroom scene was improved over the book.

Pirates of The Caribbean.

The whole annoying Twilight Series, and the movie "Push"

2001: A Space Odyssey. It's alright, just really fucking slow.

Napolean Dynamite That movie just sucked plain and simple... I actually think the animated series is better than that crapfest. Twilight series also made me wanna punch girls in the face for encouraging something so terrible.

[QUOTE=facepuncha;29837147]avatar all star wars movies all lord of the rings movies harry potter 4[/QUOTE] Watch out, we got a film student up in this bitch! Immortals.

[QUOTE=GhostProject;35086904]2001: A Space Odyssey. It's alright, just really fucking slow.[/QUOTE] Felt like it was trying to be something grand to me, but it wasn't. Looks fantastic though. I was really disapointed in Drive. Possibly because the trailer spoiled most of it. Kill bill also wasn't that great. Boring and uninspired.

[QUOTE=tempotempo;29862531]Pirates of The Caribbean.[/QUOTE] Funny, it just occurred to me right before reading this "I hope nobody mentions Pirates of the Caribbean, those movies were fucking awesome."

Four Lions It just wasn't funny. I laughed maybe once or twice during the whole film.

Harold and Kumar 2. Well, idk if [I]everyone[/I] loved it, but most of my friends did. As much as the first one had its own play at stupid stoner comedy, I felt like the sequel was an unnecessarily exaggerated stupid stoner comedy aimed at 15 year old males. The overly paranoid, patriotic FBI agent wiping his ass with the declaration of independence and leaving visible skid-marks was kind of just gross, not funny. The bottomless party I felt like was kind of just an excuse to appeal to junior high kids who normally would be rooting for boobs (they one-upped them, snazzy). The love story parts were just cut and paste, and from what I remember the end "storm the wedding" type scene was painfully cliche. That is what happened, right? I don't even remember well enough. All Neil Patrick Harris parts were pretty win. But as entertaining as the part where Harris talks to the FBI guy while on shrooms was, did the writers really feel the need to make him clarify "you think that was crazy? Try having that conversation on shrooms!" Idk, it's kinda just like... we get it. That's the joke. Hence the previous scene from his point of perspective showing things that clearly were not happening. I just didn't enjoy that movie anywhere near as much as the first.

I was seriously thinking about NOT posting my pure hatred for the Bayformers films after reading some of these... but, seriously they were some of the worst films ever made. Especially Revenge of the Fallen. Ok, now berate me for my opinion.

I found Fight club just tried too hard, its by no regards a bad film, I just didn't care for it.

Reqieum for a dream i don't know what i've missed, but i'll definitely rewatch it sometime because it really didnt feel like anything special

2001:A Space Odyssey. Most boring movie I've ever seen. It just screamed "I'M BEING ARTISTIC~~~~" to me to the point that I wanted to punch the screen.

Avatar and Inception. Both visually spectacular, but both had to be honest pretty crap stories. Avatar was some hippy dippy pocahontas shit and Inception was just a bit stupid. Inception was good but no where near as good as every said it was.

[B]The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)[/B] - Didn't like it one bit. The mix of Swedish and English was really wierd. Craig didn't seem Swedish at all and the girl's Swenglish sounded like French at times. I think moving the entire story over to the US would have been better. [B]Rise of the Planet of the Apes[/B] - Just very forgettable and uninteresting. I couldn't even care for the monkey. [B]28 Days Later[/B] - The dad was like the only likable character. The rest of the cast were dumb and unlikable. And the part where the protag goes on a barechested predator-y hunt on the army lads was just too terrible. [B]The Social Network[/B] - Stupid concept, and at times laughable execution- I just couldn't take any of the collage brats seriously. [B]Black Swan[/B] - Didn't like it. [B]The Hurt Locker[/B] - Awful. I don't understand how this rocked the Oscars back in 10. Unlikable protag resulting in the whole film lacking any sense of suspense. [B]The Dark Knight[/B] - It's a good film, I give it a 8/10, I just don't think it's an amazing 10/10 film like so many do.

I have never disagreed with someone so much in my life. Congratulations Kevlar Jens.

i love every movie you disliked, kevlar jens :c

Event Horizon.

1984... I understood everything. The message, the comment on society and shit. But the movie is still boring and slow as shit and i imagine the book is the same way. It's an intellectual work of art that kids can pretend to be clever by mentioning randomly.. sure, but still flat and uninteresting.

What? a third iteration has you fatigued? It's like the LEAST worn out basic formula in hollywood.

[QUOTE=Hakita;35093552]I find this post almost offensive because of the last sentence.[/QUOTE] I didn't mean much by it, it just seems that movies that people say they don't like, no matter what movie it is, someone questions there opinion. I lot of the movies I see here that people don't like make me want to punch a tree until my knuckles bleed but you won't see me providing counterpoints every five seconds.

Zombieland. I didn't hate it, this more of an 'overrated' post. But I still didn't particularly like it. The two girl characters were not likeable at all, they double crossed the two guys several times. Bill Murray's cameo, although funny, was completely out of place. I spent ages thinking they would wake up and it was a dream or something because it was pretty stupid. There wasn't really a plotline, it was just a bunch of events that took place. Which basically meant that there was no conclusion or end, and for a high budget zombie movie, there was hardly any action. It was all saved up til the end and they spent the rest of the time with awkward character relationships.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

The Social Network, The Hunger Games, and lets not fucking forget Twilight...all of them.

Shawshank Redemption, i'm sorry, I didn't hate it, it was very watchable and entertaining but I can't see why people consider it one of the best films of all time, it seemed very straightforward story-wise and there weren't many surprises [sp]the scene with the poster being removed to reveal his escape route was an exception[/sp]. I'm not a big fan of stephen king at the best of times but it felt like this movie was too well resolved, like despite all the horrible things that happened in the film it still managed to have a happy hollywood ending which kind of bugged me. [editline]19th July 2012[/editline] Also I hated Monsters; for a film that focused so heavily on the two main characters and their changing relationship I really didn't care at all for either of them, I knew from the first scene [sp]they would fall in love[/sp] and the more I got to know each of them the less I liked them because of it. Some parts of it like the moral message were too heavily emphasised as well, how many times do they have to mention that photographers just sit by and take photos whilst bad things happen. Parts of it felt like a dull holiday video where the characters filmed their trip around mexico, and the actually aliens barely featured in the film at all. Granted the special effects were very good, but that didn't excuse the rest of the movie.

[QUOTE=DTkach;35098733]2001:A Space Odyssey. Most boring movie I've ever seen. It just screamed "I'M BEING ARTISTIC~~~~" to me to the point that I wanted to punch the screen.[/QUOTE] Well since the movie was made in 1968, it was a movie produced long before mankind's first visit to the moon, and even before mankind had even managed to experience much travel in space at all. How living with zero gravity, the effects of the vacuum of space, space ship travel, and technology in general would be like in the future had not only no real world examples yet, but Clarke's theories and his hypotheses for how things would work were not only very accurate but even helped solve many design problems when mankind actually first went into space. Yes the whole later parts of the movie where he goes through the whole LSD trip thing I can understand why you'd dislike, but such displays were not very common at the time and fascinated many viewers, and it was a scene based on part in the book with hypothesized alien intergalactic travel which was described with such complexity that it would have been impossible to accurately recreate on screen with the current technology available at the time they created this movie. The most interesting things about this movie to me wasn't the actual encounter with the monolith during the latter parts of the movie, it's how believable its depiction of astronauts, space travel, and life on board of a space ship is despite being made before any of these existed. This, and for being the pioneer of depicting sentient AI systems as defying human orders and killing off humans due to malfunctions, and in a very believable way. [sp]/Fanboy rant[/sp] :v:
