Snowpiercer. It was highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes and from the poster I thought it stared U2's The Edge, so I took a chance. That was the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

Almost all of Will Ferrell's movies, but especially Talladega Nights, a stupid movie about stupid people doing stupid things according to a stupid script. It's one of two movies I've ever walked out on (the other being Splice, which is just gross). Stranger Than Fiction is the only good movie with Will Ferrell in a starring roll.

Edit: Splice not Split

Anything that comes from Marvel. Overrated CGI tripe.

Since you phrased it ambiguously, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is amazing.

The Dark Knight Rises. Not only is it a bad Batman movie, it oddly has a pro cop message. Also, I can't take Bane seriously at all with that ridiculous voice.

This is how I felt about all the Nolan Batman movies, except it was Batman himself I couldn't take seriously because of Bale's ridiculous Cookie Monster voice. I think I burst out laughing in the theatre when I first heard it.

Uncut Gems

A stressful two hours of screaming and bad decisions

That's the point... We're watching the spiral of a gambling addict. Its pure anxiety, and it's done so well.

I get that but you are not convincing me that this is good

The godfather movies.

I understand they influenced many other movies but they are just so fucking boring.

Lucas directed Star Wars. Any. He's an awful director in almost every aspect. Some of the worst acting from extremely talented people I've ever seen because he doesn't know how to direct them.

Take the same cast, story, massage the script, and have ANYONE else direct, and it'd be great. I just can't with Lucas.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

I think George Lucas would agree with you.

While he directed the first film, Empire and Jedi had other directors. When it came to the prequel series Lucas really tried to get someone else to direct, but everyone turned him down as the project was "too daunting".

Lucas is best as the idea guy.

Not true, they did this already with Ep7.

That’s a rough one. Everyone ever loves it… I completely do not get it.

Gravity.

Literally the only movie I've ever turned off part way through. Youd think that the producers would have, i don't know, accurately depicted the force the movie is named after.
