Popular Movies (that really suck)

[leapinlew]

You know the movies I'm talking about. The ones people love and for whatever reason, you don't.

A movie that fits that description to me is Clockwork Orange. People always talk to me about it as if it's some gift to filmography and when they find out I don't like it. They take it upon themselves to explain to me the real message about the movie. As if thats the reason I don't like it.

Lost in Translation

Never made it through without falling asleep.

[amendonz]

lord of the rings trilogy, boring as.

[saint]

Dr. Strangelove.

(Everyone say goodbye to amendonz, I have to ban him now. (kidding))

[ChadTower]

Any Tarantino movie.

[yotsuya]

Hmmmm- A Clockwork Orange, Lost in Translation, and Dr. Strangelove are some of my favorite films.

[amendonz]

Dr. Strangelove.

(Everyone say goodbye to amendonz, I have to ban him now. (kidding))

hehe, sucks too being from nz theres lotr stuff everywhere!

agree with the tarantino call, i liked pulp fiction, but he has to be the most over rated director of our time.

Avatar..it was obviously a movie that only works in theaters in 3d because I watched it at home and found it stupid and fake looking. But everyone who seen it at the movies in 3d said it was amazing.

Transformers..I loved the toys when I was a kid and the cartoon as well but the movie was one annoying advertising ploy. It felt like a big commercial. And the shaky cam gave me a headache.

I actually like Blade Runner and Clockwork Orange, and pretty much all Tarantino films, although I do admit that they are too dialog heavy at times and the dialog that exists tends to be dialog that no one would really say in real life. But I enjoy the way that he pays tribute to old movies in most of them. I am also a fan of old kung-fu movies and blaxploitation films so that is probably why I enjoy them. heh but whatever.

[Donkbaca]

Yeha, I like the Tarantino films, the kill bill series is cool.

+1 Dr. Strange love.  I have sat down to watch that move no less than three times and EVERY time I ahve fallen asleep, the only movie I have ever slept through

In my opinion, the overall winner (loser?) has to be Sideways, a bunch of unattractive people going through midlife mating rituals.  Not at all entertaining.

2001 - The pacing of that film made me want to punch a box of kittens.  
Transformers - Pretty sure I got brain damage on that one.
All Mel Brooks movies cept Young Frankenstein which I actually enjoyed.
Matrix sequels - They could have replaced every actor with a wooden plank.  In fact, I think they might have done this as it would explain the "acting".
ID4 - Ugh, just ugh.  
Kill Bill 1/2 - Ok, it did have one or two fights scenes with merit.....

2001: Agreed
Transformers: Agreed
Mel Brooks movies: I find most of them funny although I haven't seen one since I was a teen so my humor may have changed.
Matrix: I liked the first one but didn't LOVE it. The sequels were terrible.
ID4: I forgot about this one...it was horrible.
Kill Bill 1: Loved it.
Kill Bill 2: It changed from mostly action to mostly dialog...so not as exciting...but I did like the scenes with the Pei-Mei training, and the fight in the trailer between the 2 chicks.

[yotsuya]

I must be the only one here that likes Stanley Kubrick. 2001 is one of my top ten. Poor box of kittens.

[Bootay]

And I thought of another...Godzilla...the US version..you know, the one that was mostly just a Jurassic Park remake.

It was popular then...not so much anymore though.

[Funnel]

Any Tarantino movie.

 
Are you kidding me??? Have you even seen Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs? Man you need new eyes and ears. And possibly a new reviewing brain.

Nah...I like Clockwork Orange and The Shining...2001 was just very sloooooooooooooow...if not for the pacing it wasn't a bad movie.

[yotsuya]

I've never had an issue with the pacing of 2001, but I know plenty of people who have. The gorgeous visuals and storyline are what appeal to me. That, and monkeys fighting with bones.

Pretentious to the point of kitten danger.  Stupid dialog, annoyingly over the top sequences, costumes and music that make me want to punch pregnant cats just to be ahead of the curve.  Full of actors/actresses I can't stand to begin with.

[RayB]

Yeah I have the same love-hate of Tarantino films, but he really redeemed himself with Inglourious Basterds.

[Bootay]

I liked all of Tarantino's films..wasn't a gigantic fan of Death Proof though. I enjoy all of the over the topness of it all.
I also like most of Rodreguiz's films...although often similar and having Tarantino as an actor. (Obviously I am not referring to Spy Kids or Shark Boy and Lavagirl..lol)

I know people who hate Tarantino though so it's not shocking to me to run across more. Just like I know a lot of people who hate Rob Zombie's movies but I enjoy them. However I was not a big fan of Halloween 2.

[Mikezilla]

PBJ do you like anything?  

Iron Man 2.
Transformers 1/2 or anything by Michael Bay
Spider Man 3
Kill Bill
2001 is god awful
Anything with Will Smith in it. The only movie he was semi decent in was ID4 but of course I saw that when I was 17 so whatever.
I dunno if Inglorius Basterds redeemed Tarantino for Deathproof. I wanted to kill myself during that movie.
---smurfing--- Avatar. Its as if Ferngully and Dances with wolves had a baby and they left it in a dumpster, thats what Avatar would be. Yawnfest.
Titanic.

Friday the 13th, Nightmare on elm st...ect...

The only good horror movies have Bruce Campbell or zombies in them.

[spoot]

I do like quite a few other Kubrick films.but this one....just ugh.  Don't worry, there wasn't a box of kittens near me at the time I viewed this film.  

Disclaimer: No kittens were harmed during this review.  

[SNAAKE]

Iron Man 1

Black Swan

Friday the 13th, Nightmare on elm st...ect...

The only good horror movies have Bruce Campbell or zombies in them.

I am a big fan of horror movies, but nothing past 1990...the 90s was filled with no gore, clean cut, bubblegum Jennifer Love Hewitt horror. And they all seemed to be slashers trying to make another Scream. (ahem...I think Scream counts in this list too. People like this movie.) And now in the 2000s it is nothing but crappy remakes that don't hold a candle to the originals. And the one's that aren't remakes tend to just be stupid.

I prefer horror from the 70s and 80s. And zombies and Bruce Campbell. 

[AtomSmasher]

I know virtually no one here will agree with me, but No Country for Old Men.

I really liked it until about 2/3 into it, then it just fell apart and made me hate it.  When I saw it in the theater, people actually boo'ed when the credits came up, so I know I'm not completely alone in my opinion.  It's a shame since I love almost all other Coen bros. movies.

Also, both Lost in Translation and Sideways put me to sleep.

[Bootay]

No Country for Old Men was great up until the last 20 mins.

[DaveMMR]

Titanic - did not think the movie was anywhere as great as the hype - by everyone - would have implied.

[upprc04]

+1 for No Country for Old Men

[lilshawn]

The Blair Witch Project and Cutthroat Island...hyped it up aaaaaaand .... nothing.

water world. 

[crashwg]

water world. 

Speaking of Costner, I've always hated Field of Dreams.  Waterworld is of course worse...

[SavannahLion]

Water World sucked ass. Its an interesting concept but W W really runs roughshod all over it. WTF smoking bandits? What kind of retarded ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is that?

Alice in Wonderland with Depp. I can't stay awake through the first 1/3. It keeps coming up so I assume it has some popularity.

Underworld. What a way to really ---fudgesicle--- up the whole wearwolves vs vampire thing. In fact, toss on the whole vampire love lust films in there as well. What are they called? Vampire Diaries or some ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---? Vampires need to be scary, not fodder for chick flicks.

Hellboy.... I'm sorry I ever bought that DVD. Every person I ever talked to about Hellboy likes it. Why??

Almost any shake cam film. In Blair Witch it was done to great effect. WTF is it doing in a film like Transformers? It's not too bad, but some movies and films are really pushing it bad. I got nauseous watching the new Stargate show. I honestly think the problem are new camera operators who don't even know how to hold a ---smurfing--- camera properly and cheap ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- producers. Those that do know how to hold a cam are asking for too much money.

[lilshawn]

Almost any shake cam film.

not exactly.... but "Saving Private Ryan"

it makes me nauseous to watch it on my big screen. I literally feel like barfing, the whole damn time the camera is all over the place. I know i't supposed to make it feel like you're there, but I feel like I just spent 3 hours on a roller coaster.

[abispac]

Anything famous with Will Ferrell on it....damn that guy really sucks...

[shmokes]

Titanic - did not think the movie was anywhere as great as the hype - by everyone - would have implied.

I can't believe it took this long for someone to mention Titanic.  And by not as great as the hype, i hope you mean utterly retarded from beginning to end.

Also 2001.

[saint]

+1!

I'm a Kubrick fan... 

[ChadTower]

+2.  "I'm big, I'm loud, I'm dumb, I'm in your face, therefore I am funny."

No, you're not, go away.  Everything you have ever done could be done better by Randy Quaid.

+ eleventy....  the only movie I halfway enjoyed with him in it was Stranger Than Fiction, and only because he wasn't playing his usual self...

[yotsuya]

I have to admit that Talledega Nights is a guilty pleasure of mine (mainly for John C. Reilly), but for the most part, I can agree with the Will Ferrell sentiment.

[Hoopz]

He was okay in Eastbound and Down, though.

 

He had a fairly small role and didn't have to carry the show.  It seems that he struggles when it's all on him.
