La la land. I hate that shit, I was happy when he lost the Oscar and I hadn’t even seen the one he won.
What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good?

Yeah I never got the hype for it being an oscar contender.

Hollywood is self-centered and loves movies about Hollywood. That’s really the only reason La La Land was in the running.

Poor Things. Watched it in the cinema and it was just disgusting, I don’t care how critically acclaimed it is.

What was disgusting about it? (I absolutely loved it)

A mix of half the movie being porn, the plot centering around a child in an adult woman’s body doing nothing but having sex, the overall message being “women having sex with everyone makes them grow as a person”.

“There Will be Blood” was one of the most drab, boring, washed out, and damn near unwatchable movies of all time, yet everyone claims it’s a masterpiece. It’s just a story of a man becoming richer than god, and going off the deep-end, culminating in a scene where his adopted kid tells him how much they hate him, and him murdering someone in a misguided fit of rage. None of the characters are relatable, redeeming or interesting. The script has like a grand total of 1000 words across the entire 2.5 hour run time, and none of it is particularly compelling. What a snooze fest.

I get where you’re coming from. There will be Blood is based on an Upton Sinclair novel, Upton Sinclair was a staunch socialist and this could be felt in his writing. The film is a send-up of American exceptionalism. Daniel Plainview literally pulls himself up by his bootstraps. In my opinion it’s an amazing comedy
supernight52@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I appreciate the perspective! Gotta say though, Jesus that’s some deep-level dark comedy that I just don’t understand. I was watching it as more of an art piece, and less of a commentary. I still don’t like it, but I never thought of it in this light.

I haven’t watched it since Mel Gibson was revealed to be a giant POS but King Steven is by one if my favorite characters of all time.
Such a quotable movie

This thread is crazy, so many hot takes in here!
One of the worst I’ve ever seen is the Korean film ‘Stray Dogs’ (2014). There is so much unnecessary sexual violence towards women in this film and almost none of it has any relevance to the story. It’s not like a rape revenge thing either where the victim eventually comes out on top - in this film the victim is a blind woman who cannot even defend herself with a knife she is given. The supposed protagonist of the film rapes his wife at the beginning and then engages in voyeurism for much of the film while this poor blind woman is raped every single night by the entire town. When he finally decides to do something about it he is absolutely fucking hopeless, as are the townspeople attempting to stop him. It is so misogynistic and poorly written, I have no idea why anyone agreed to be in it. Anyone who enjoyed this film should go on some kind of watch list.

The Sadness is another Korean movie which is fucked up beyond belief

I was trying to think of one and was thinking I haven’t really experienced intensely hating a movie that other people loved. Then I saw someone comment Avatar… that was one of the most overhyped events I’ve ever experienced. I don’t care about the entire Marvel franchise, but I’m sure someone could convince me of their merits. No one’s going to make me see Avatar as anything but rehashing an old story with annoying 3D gimmicky visuals.

Event horizon. It has a big following but I don’t get the big horror. And the gore in the director’s cut is more annoying than shocking. Maybe if it was the first space horror movie you watched

Thank you!! I’m a big horror buff, and the amount of praise this movie gets is utterly baffling to me.

The 2005 Elektra movie. It nearly killed Jennifer Garner’s career! There’s so much of that movie where I just have to wonder “What the fuck were they thinking?”
dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 hour ago
That movie can be summed up in one line:
“Pass the coke, bro!”
It’s such an incoherent, jumbled mess that it makes the garbage Daredevil movie from which it was excreted seem like high art.

A Complete Unknown. It was very long, and I just found Bob and his life a bit boring. Apart from the music, of course.

I wanted to like it, but both my partner and myself were bored out of our minds watching it. Also what was that line… “I’m a BIPOC pangender”? Nobody has ever fucking talked like that.
End scene was fucking dope. That brought it up to a 6/10 for me.

While I like the movie overall, I don’t get the hype about the diner scene with the jump scare. Even watched a couple video essays explaining it and don’t understand how it does what people say it does.

This is a polarizing film. A bit like a live action cartoon.
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 22 hours ago
More of a genre than a particular movie, but any and all video game movies that aren’t the 90s shitshow M•rio movie or the 3 live action Sonic films. I’m talking live action because there have clearly been good video games based animated films like… well I can’t think of any right off hand, but they surely exist.

Good Lord some of the answers in this thread. I first thought this was like an unpopular opinion community. Is this all just Edge Lords trying to say the most popular and well regarded movies they can?
Ilandar@lemm.ee 20 hours ago
Yeah it’s pretty funny. Most of these are just “it’s overrated” complaints, which is not the same as a film being iredeemably bad. Feels like a lot of these people just hate being exposed to opinions that differ from their own, so over time these overrated films have morphed into a 1/10 atrocity in their head despite none of their issues with them actually reflecting that level of hatred. You could definitely make a compelling argument for many of these films being good, and the only reason these people wouldn’t be convinced is because of their aforementioned personality flaw.
