The godfather movies.
I understand they influenced many other movies but they are just so fucking boring.
What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good?

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Absolute snoozefest with possibly the worst cast leads in modern history.

SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
I guess I can convince myself by rewatching if it actually is good, but:
Cabin in the Woods.
Tap for spoiler
I understand they were going for meta-horror, but it was so in your face, so mediocre, so shallow. Scream series is far better meta horror imo.

I also found cabin in the woods to be meh. Like it wasn’t bad but didn’t live up to the hype.

I never liked Hunter S Thompson’s writing style but I like that his work exists.

“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.
musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 3 months ago
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 3 months 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.

How about one that will actually piss people off: The Shawshank Redemption
Subtracty@lemmy.world 3 months ago
This movie is fine. I don’t understand why it tops so many peoples lists for greatest movie though.
comrade_frosty@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Nostalgia, mostly I’d guess. It was on all the time on TNT for years and I think we watched it so much that it became ingrained in us that it was great.
CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
I think it’s kind of schlock personally.

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

Uwe Boll’s “Alone in the dark”
I rented that movie, and it was so bad that half way through it I turned it off. When I went back to the rental store they offered me my money back.
I said no. Because some lessons have to be painful in order to learn from them.

Can it be a director?
The dark Knight is the only good Nolan movie. And Heath carried all of the weight
Leavingoldhabits@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I’d put memento ahead of the dark knight, but agree Nolan is enormously overrated.
some_dude@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Mmm I don’t know; while I thought Tenet as a whole was overwrought the Opera sequence was an amazingly tight bit of storytelling.
wake@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Hmm, I sort of agree about Ledger. I rewatch Inception, Interstellar, and The Prestige regularly though. The IMAX shots in Interstellar are amazing in 4k HDR and I do enjoy the plot for the other two.
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 months ago
I also think Nolan is overrated but The Prestige is a good movie.
moakley@lemmy.world 3 months ago
See I think Dark Knight might be his worst movie.

Princess Bride. The narrative framework of some shitkid not appreciating that his grandpa is Columbo ruins the whole thing. Those two characters should be cut out and then it will be good. …Okay, Peter Falk can stay.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 months ago
Remove Savage and all the other characters, and just have Falk tell the audience the story without any kind of “imaginary” scenes. It’s just Peter Falk talking into a camera. Preferably wearing Columbia’s signature trench coat.

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

Super Mario Bros (1993) - it is just horrible, the only good thing about the movie is that it has a practical Yoshi puppet.

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.

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.

Amanduh@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Sometimes people make movies where there is no winner, I like those movies because it mixes things up from the normal formula, another one that is very bleak is “the road”

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?”
