Your favourite movie is absolute garbage and is only liked by tasteless philistines. The plot is obvious, the actors are hamming it, the direction is bland, and everything looks fake and pompous.
My favourite movie, on the other hand, is a masterpiece with a clever scenario, excellent and subtle acting, a work of genius by the director and the technical team. And one of the best soundtracks, too (it's Universal Soldier)
Barbie.
I'm a woman and a feminist. I'm a fan of Greta, and of everyone they cast in that movie.
I was bored for most of it. The parts that were meant to be poignant, I thought completely missed the mark. It was a waste of an opportunity.
I don't understand the hype. Margot is a gem, one of our exports I'm actually impressed by, and I think her unfailing charm won a lot of people over to this. I think most of us would happily watch Margot read the phone book.
But I found the movie to be dull and shallow in its attempts for depth.
I feel bad because most of my female friends really hold it up as something I don't think it is. I keep my mouth shut.
Oh boy.
Everything everywhere all at once.
And I did like it to a point but absolutely don't see it as the phenomenon that was presented as. I saw it as a good film that lacked nuance and subtlety, instead of leaving stuff for the viewer to discern it rather just loudly announcing with bright signs 'This is profound, we are very artistic'. While the quirkiness and comedy were fun, it always felt to me like if marvel had suddenly decided to make an indie film, with all the good and bad that carried.
Obviously I was shunned by everybody else so what the hell do I know lol.
Gangs of New York.
I love Scorsese and I usually don't mind how long his films are, case in point Killers of the Flower Moon. But Gangs of New York is not only too long and weirdly self indulgent, but whatever Cameron Diaz is doing in her role is... Not great and makes me sad every time.
Edit: I realize I inverted flowers and killer in Killers of the Flower Moon.
The Big Lebowski. It's got a perfect combination of plodding, boring plot and insufferably obnoxious characters that makes it a physically painful watching experience.
It genuinely confuses me that people like The Fifth Element. The plot is just batshit insane, and it suffers from obnoxious character syndrome just as much as Lebowski does.
Thor: Ragnarok is by far the worst Thor movie, and is in the top 3 worst Marvel movies. It's an absolute travesty of a film that not only ruined the character of the Hulk to the point where he had to be effectively erased as a character going forward, but turned Thor himself into a Gimli-esque laughingstock, and is also just neither funny nor entertaining. But, then again, neither is anything I've seen by Taika. Edit: Actually, that's not quite true. Here's a really hot take for y'all: Love and Thunder is the good Taika Thor movie. It wasn't great, but it was miles better than Ragnarok.
On that note, any movie (or show) where the entire second arc/B-plot is a useless side quest that either fails or does nothing but waste the audience's time. See, for example: Thor Ragnarok, The Last Jedi, Andor.
Tarantino movies are really overrated, but I wouldn't say I dislike them.
Edit: Ooh, thought of another one. O Brother Where Art Thou would have been an enjoyable movie if it hadn't tried to act like it's an adaptation of the Odyssey. As someone who's pretty familiar with Homer, it just infuriates me every time I try to watch it.
Edit2: Someone mentioned Skyfall, which has now reminded me that as a huge James Bond fan, I hate all of Craig's Bond films (except Casino Royale) with a fiery passion, to the extent that I don't even consider them James Bond movies (they're "James Bourne" movies at best), and I don't ever include them in my rankings of the series.
Barbarian
I feel like it got so hyped up by the kind of people I usually agree with and the way everyone kept saying "Don't look up anything, just go in blind" had my hopes up for something really unique and interesting with twists in all the right ways.
In the end I felt like it was just random and dumb... Good acting though.
Donnie darko
Fifth element
Inter stellar
Don't look up
Can't stand any of them, I'm pretty sure there's a connective thread, but it's a bit winding and knotted.
I do not give a shit about David Lynch. I respect some of what he's going for, and the people who like his work, but it always feels like alien commentary on pop culture, for pop culture I wasn't paying attention to in the first place. Gorlax really nails those Kardashians! Mulholland Drive... sure is a sequence of images!
Lord of the Rings 2 and 3 I found to be quite meh.
I really loved Fellowship of the Ring, the other two sequels were just 90% large-scale NPC army battles that got really old really fast.
Also Rashomon (1950) sucks.
AI. I found it hollow and depressing.
The series Schitt's Creek is like this. It's not knee slapping hilarious about it just memorable characters and subtle humor
Pretty much every popular movie from the mid to late 1960s and basically all the 1970s.
Molly's Game. I feel like it had a massive case of unintentionally unreliable narrator with none of the upside of intentionally doing that.
Birdman. I found it irritatingly self-important and boring.
the Sixt sense.. It is so boring, nothing happend. And when something happend it make no sense. I was not spoiled, and i was so underwhelmed by the reveal.. At least it explained why nothing was making sense prior
Dark Knight. It was really long and it kept going past several points I felt like it hit a natural conclusion. It initiated my life long disdain for Christopher Nolan, a blowhard who enjoys sucking his own dick and making movies that are torturous metaphors for their own creation.
