I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Inception is one of the worst executions of an interesting idea. My imagination can imagine anything. Hollywood's? Well I guess you imagined too hard so now there's people with guns. Oh and this applies to everyone.

I don't like the lord of the rings series.

It's not bad bad but with that budget, actors etc it could have been so much better :-/

The hobbit: kind of the same feeling.

The Godfather is meh at best and the acting is melodramatic and overplayed.

There's nothing great about Studio Ghibli movies, they have appreciable hand-drawn effort but that isn't what makes a movie.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

All of them? No. But there are so many great things in them you can't just bury them away like Spirited away, your neighbour Totoro...

You don't like them? I understand that totally, but they are masterpieces.

Like I just hate the Bolero and think Mosart is 'meh' I guess (toccata&fugue in D minor by Bach, now that rocks!).

If Pulp Fiction is on, unless it's been a few years I'll probably switch the channel, if Django Unchained is on though...I'm grabbing a snack and watching it everytime. This isn't to say Pulp Fiction sucks, just think Django's more entertaining.

Citizen Kane and 2001: A Space Odyssey suck now.

There are old movies that have aged much better, like The Man in the White Suit and Colossus: The Forbin Project. These should be the ones we call classics.

I just don't like Star Wars and I like sci-fi in general. But Star Wars is just one of those stories I can't make myself to like.

I remember fondly the prequels with pod racing and that red black guy with double lightsaber. I wached those movies as a child.

Later I tried watching all of them and I could not bring myself to finish even one. The dated effects (good for their time) just took me out of the story way too much.

I also tried waching the new ones, but they just felt boring so I dropped them.

I don't know what is it about Star Wars, but I just can't bring myself to like them even with nostalgia by my side.

The Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, started out great with it's first movie and then it plumed straight down with the two next ones.

Wow, you're the first person I've seen to notice that Batman Begins is the strongest of the 3.

Like, Heath delivered an incredible performance, but everything else surrounding it was not as cohesively put together as the first film.

6 Underground was a good movie. Michael Bay is just making fun of himself, and I thought it was hilarious
