movies

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

citizen kane. I mean I get it. If you geek out on cinematography history and the first of doing stuff but its just plain boring.

I know this is heresy but any Godfather movie, or the Sopranos, or anything that romanticizes the fucking mafia. To me organized crime characters are pieces of shit I can't admire or relate to. The only movie that ever made me root for gangster types was Pulp Fiction, which is a masterpiece.

Pi and Requiem for a Dream as a one-two punch.

"Being smart is such a curse I'd rather get a lobotomy" is boring, self-serving and trite, but the Reefer Madness-level "drugs bad" thing in Requiem is unbearable and requires every character to be entirely nonsensical.

Trainspotting was four years old by that point. How critics let Aronofsky get away with it is beyond me. To this day the closest I've been from walking out of a movie theatre. The only reason I stuck around was it was in a festival and I was there with other people.

Oppenheimer.

3 hrs of nausea-inducing quick cuts

The Big Lebowsky

Braveheart

2012

I couldn't get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.

Everything Disney did with Star Wars

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.

The godfather movies.

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

Avatar

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?

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.

No Country For Old Men.

I was actually really enjoying the whole cat and mouse thing until the main fucking character died off-screen.

How does nobody ever talk about how shitty that "plot twist" is? It's not clever. It's not entertaining. It's just bad storytelling. They don't even show you a good shot of him to convey what actually happened. My girlfriend and I had to rewind it twice because it was so fucking stupid and made so little sense.

That's actually how I feel about most of the Coen Brothers' movies. The classical narrative structure exists for a reason. It's a good framework for telling a story that makes sense.

Sometimes there's a good artistic reason for diverting from that and telling the story in an unconventional way. Other times it's just pretentious auteur garbage.

IT (2017).

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

Absolute snoozefest with possibly the worst cast leads in modern history.

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?"

Tar. Just, so boring.
