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.

Any marvel movie. I just do not get the appeal. The only people who like it seem to like it way too much. Most of them are also grown ass children.

Kill Bill. Boring as fuck.

The Crow. I refuse to elaborate.

Pretty much anything from Kevin Smith except Mallrats and even that I'll admit was dumb but I liked it as a young teenager.

Deadpool. Juvenile humor from the king of "I'm in a movie because I'm unbelievably charming"

Not a movie (well maybe there is one?) but I absolutely hate The Trailer Park Boys. I just don't get it. It's not funny, at all. It's not my thing at all. I've been hated on for this opinion but I don't care, it sucks.

On that same note, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Same reason tpb sucks to me.

Lord of the rings. So boring.

This thread is fun though. I enjoyed reading everyone's opinions, especially those I disagree with.

Pixar style movies. They all rely on the same facial gags and dumbass humor.

Diehard. What boring, macho-worshiping crap. Can't even watch it ironically.

Joker

I thought it was pretentious, had no real story and pretty much just milked the gritty batman of the already not great nolan movies

not great nolan movies

Spicy.

I feel like Joker is one of those movies that needed to be on its own. It doesn't feel like a Batman universe movie. It feels like a movie about some kind of mental illness that they slapped Batman related stuff on.

2001: A Space Odyssey was rightfully not well received when it was first released. It is incredibly well crafted in terms of visual effects and has about 30 minutes of great, tense sci-fi in it. Shame about the other six hours (perceived) of tedium. Even in the late 60s people in ape costumes smashing things while the soundtrack goes aaaAAAaaUuuAaa wasn't interesting for more than a minute, don't even get me started on the stewardess, docking, moon journey or the damn screensaver. Which, yes, is iconic, but 20 minutes?

It does make sense that people would get high before subjecting themselves to this and then put on a Pink Floyd album during all the tedious scenes.

2010 is a better movie. It starts with dialogue and knows when slowing down increases tension.

If you say the word "imagine" into a microphone then you're allowed to beat your kids.

I'll help you row that boat. My music theory teacher in high school fucking hated them and spent a good amount of time explaining why they sucked lol
