      I would argue that while they aren’t good, they are fun. I like to call them “shut your brain off movies”, and I totally get why people wouldn’t like them.

      Like Fast and Furious for example. It doesn’t have a good story, or writing, or really even great acting. But it does have some really great scenes of cool cars going really fast and sometimes I like to just sit and relax and watch that kind of stuff. At least up till like 5 or maybe 6. Then it starts to get a little too weird for me.

        I don’t mind them. I knew what I was getting into when I went to the theater I simply did not like that particular movie.

    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.

      I completely understand you, even as a fan. Tolkien style of fantasy aged like milk. It’s contribution to the genre and literature as a whole is impossible to measure, but it’s just not fun anymore if you never saw it before. The movies aged a little better, but still not great. Anyone who says otherwise has either seen his work a very long time ago, or is looking at it with nostalgia glasses. Noone in 2025 could get through all the goofy-ass singing, lack of any shades of gray, unrealistic battles, and tree branch backstories without rolling their eyes once or twice. It really requires the viewer to not treat it too seriously, something like orginal Star Wars Trilogy.

    Once upon a time in Hollywood.

    Closely followed by anything that’s self-jerking Hollywood’s ego. I’m looking at you too La La Land!

      Idk Andor is some of the best star wars ever. Even considering the original 3.

      Also the lightsaber tech that they have adds so much to the visuals of the movies and TV. Having lightsabers that actually glow AND allow for contact during combat is just incredible.

    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.

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

    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.

    Eternal Sunshine if a Spotless Mind has such good reviews and people speak fondly of it online. I hated it, just thought both characters were insufferable, and there was nothing remotely romantic about it. Felt like I was trapped in the bad relationship with them.

    If The Sopranos was boring, what you’d get is The Godfather. It’s boring. And it insists upon itself.
