I hate Batman. All the movies, the character, the story. It's all garbage. Even the lauded Dark Knight era. Boring and kinda dumb at parts.
Batman is nothing more than a rich and in-shape Inspector Gadget.
Change my mind.
In that case, Iron Man is nothing more than a rich and in-shape Inspector Gadget.
With a drinking problem.

Stark's superpower is his intellect.
While Tony did inherit a successful weapons company, he was a genius. Bruce Wayne got rich because his parents got killed and then bought a bunch of stuff or had secret super genius Alfred develop the wonderful toys.
We all know Alfred was the brains of the outfit.
Not to push my glasses too far up my nose, but Bruce Wayne is supposed to be up there with Lex Luthor as the smartest people on DC Earth.

this can get you shot on here...I don't think it's as good as most think on here though
I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.
The departed.
Namely because i think some of the characters are way too over the top (Nicholson, sheen, and Baldwin)

I'm adding Oldboy to this list. The original Korean one because I think there is a newer remake of it.
I watched it last night for the first time and it's weird and disturbing. I did not enjoy it much and it has an 8.3 on IMDB.
I would give it a 5-6.

Black Panther - I thought it was fine, but a nomination for Best Picture????
You know why it was nominated for Best Picture.

93/79 Rotten Tomatoes?
7 Oscars???
Trying too hard to be unique and viewers trying too hard convincing themselves how awesome it was.
I echo this one. Both my wife and I were like "wtf?" After that one.
I didn't care for "Sinners" and I'm a huge horror and western fan. Realize it's been lauded. Just didn't land for me.

Jack Nicholson's performance in this movie was one of the worst by a major actor in a major film this century. Accent came and went, zero subtlety, just completely out of place in every scene.

Shakespeare in Love - Booooooooo
Viewer overhyped:
Godfather II - The first movie set the bar too high for this to follow.
Godfather II is the second greatest movie ever made. The Godfather #1, so you're sort of right, but wrong.
And then there are those of us who think II is better than the original, so opinions vary.

I always take **** for this, but I didn't like Forrest Gump.
For a more recent film, I'd say Elvis. I just didn't think Austin Butler was convincing as Elvis and too many parts of the film looked distractingly animated.
If you think the movie is bad, don't read the book.
Forrest Gump is one of the few movies where they actually improved on the book.
I think The Green Mile was the only other movie I could say this about.

Jaws
I think some disappointment a movie didn't live up to its billing, leading to the opinion it was overhyped, is simply watching it too late.
I remember seeing The Matrix in a theater, and being enthralled. It wasn't just the story, the special effects were like nothing I had seen before.
A few months later, I see a commercial for Carvana or some other car dealer, and they're using the same special effects as Matrix. So if you didn't see the movie first and saw those commercials, you'd be underwhelmed by the actual movie later.

My only theory is that most critics didn't read comic books growing up, so the multiverse concept was new and not burnt out to them. Plus, hot dog fingers.
The Substance.

You could also add the Shining to this list. I like the book, but the movie is a whole other animal.
Oppenheimer
That movie was so ****ing boring and melodramatic I wanted to leave the theatre. I stayed but I hate it.

Citizen Kane, the ultimate film studies nerd movie. I understand why it was important to the history of film, but I can't imagine people actually enjoying the movie other than from a historical perspective.
2001. I love science fiction, I enjoyed the novel. The movie is a total snooze fest. Honestly, other than A Clockwork Orange and the first half of Full Metal Jacket, I'm not a fan of Stanley Kubrick.
I agree about Kubrick. Always found most of his stuff pretty overrated.
Oooof you're killing me. I suppose though for Kubrick a lot of it is the style and groundbreaking shots.
2001 is a bit dry but amazing in a film making sense - basically every sci-fi movie after uses shots and methods that Kubrick created ask Spielberg and Lucas and anyone. Like perfectly symmetrical space ship interiors. The dancing planets, ships and satellites set to classical music.
Same for Barry Lyndon which looks like a classic painting on film and a time portal to the 18th century but is probably too dry for most. It is a masterclass in lighting and cinematography.
And he is known for several specific types of shots one called the Kubrick Stare used in countless films. Even the glowing red eye of Hal in 2001.
Low angle tracking shots and one point perspectives like the hallways in The Shining. And match cuts like the prehistoric bone spinning into an orbiting space station.
The closeup followed by pan out to a wider scale is another hallmark as in Full Metal Jacket when joker in closeup stares into a mass grave only to have the pan out reveal the true scene and scope.
I could go on and on.... so many from a Clockwork Orange and Dr. Strangelove too.
Unabashed Kubrick fan but I suppose I value the film making as much as the story or plot.
Same reason I love Lawrence of Arabia - so many amazing grand vistas and styles which have been used in so many movies since. I jumped out of my chair watching that movie and recognizing the influence later used in Indiana Jones and Star Wars and many other films.

I could (and have) watched MD and PF 50 times each I bet. The others maybe a dozen.
For me it is
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Everyone was raving about that movie at the time. I found it terribly dry and boring and no film making value to save it.

I don't think I've ever made it more than 10 minutes into that movie before quitting.
Read a summary online, I can see it is a comedy about how interconnected we are, but having attempted to watch it a few times, I understand why it took four years from its original release to be released in the US.
In The Book of Boba Fett, there is a shot literally replicated from Lawrence of Arabia of Fett looking over a sand dune at an approaching train that he intends to attack. Lawrence of Arabia is one of the greatest movies ever made, whereas TBOBF is already largely forgotten.Zombie Jon Snow said:TXAG 05 said:Bruce Almighty said:

I tried watching MD 2 or 3 times when I was younger and couldn't get through it. Worth trying now that I'm
Older. Pulp Fiction is a great film, it's just not for me… it's just too much. I'm the type of person that recognizes greatness and can recognize when it's not my type of art

I would try Eraserhead first. Let us know what you think of that one.

Going to disagree with you there. The Shining book is way better. Kubrick made so many changes they are almost 2 different stories.

Exactly - you see shots from LOA everywhere once you've seen it a few times.
Same for Kubrick movies for me.
Nearly every other director cites David Lean and/or Kubrick and in their influences (also Hitchcock, Kurosawa and Welles of course).

Both are similar in their out of sequence scenes. MD adds some that are surreal and dream scenes to add even more complexity and confusion.
I definitely appreciate the art as much as the story and acting. But I could see someone not liking that. In fact my wife hates both of those movies and others - she doesn't want to have to think or figure things out. She just wants to be entertained.
Memento might be another you would not like - so this is a non recommendation for you. lol

All I heard for years was how funny it was.
My wife and I didn't laugh a single time. It was a painful watch.
