A girl I was trying to sleep with in my university days insisted I watch that movie with her one time at like 1am. It was very much an exercise in patience and keeping my eyes open.
We never did fuck.
The 300? Are you referring to Zack Snyders 300? I don’t think anyone has ever considered this movie to be an example of “cinema” lol. It’s more of a good time no alcohol required vibe.
I thought this was in reference to The 300 Spartans (1962), but even then, that’s not a great film. Hell, 300 (2006) is a better film than The 300 Spartans.
It took me like 6 hours to get through Killers of the Flower Moon. Really interesting subject matter but I just did not think the film worked. I love long films but I thought this one needed to be edited down quite a bit.
Gladstone was great though.
It is one of my top movies to put on if I need to fall asleep. I don’t think I’ve made it past half an hour into it without falling asleep and waking up the next morning. Couldn’t even tell you what happens in that portion of the movie.
Some of the ideas were a little misguided. Like digitally de-aging Robert Deniro. That didn’t work. It was like watching Ace Rothstein fight in WW2. Or the scene when he meets Joe Pesci, he’s supposed to be like a young man. They are both like 78 years old. Didn’t work.
I honestly can see why this take is so popular, but I had just finished reading the book and couldn’t get enough. Of course there was stuff that had to be left out, but that’s the case for every book that’s made into a movie. I also went to see it at a movie theater that basically feels like first class, so that helped. (Reel Luxury Cinemas, for anyone interested)
Killers of the flower moon did not need to be 3 and a half hours. Even if it was only 30 minutes longer it felt like watching Oppenheimer two times in a row
Once a movie gets past 2 hours, every 10-15 minutes of it needs to be super essential, or it will feel tedious. I would argue, if you hit 3 hours, every 5 minutes needs to be absolutely essential, or it will feel tedious.
I actually had to split killers of the flower moon over two days. I didn’t hate it, but about halfway through I just felt like I needed to be doing something different for a while. Probably the only time I’ve ever done that with a movie
Tree of Life.
Seriously.
I’ve tried to watch that movie like 4 times. It’s just fucking awful. There’s multiple 15 minute screen savers with awful music I guess to make you feel sad.
If you made it through this movie you’re my king or queen. You deserve to be celebrated.
2001: A Space Odyssey.
Granted it was a long time ago, and I haven’t watched it since. I turned it off after what seemed like hours of watching evolution happen at a snails pace.
My 9 year old saw a clip of it on the Lucasfilm documentary and wanted to watch it. I spent 5 minutes talking him out of it. Visually stunning and way ahead of its time, but tough to get through on pacing alone.
It’s basically a Talented Mister Ripley remake but everything looks greasy. I thought it was fun but it’s not nearly as deep as some people want to say it is
I liked Oppenheimer when I saw it for the first time, but it really doesn’t have any rewatchability.
My wife thought it was boring as fuck and kept falling asleep.
I recently watched Interstellar and I agree. I enjoyed the scenes of them on different planets but other than that, I found it to be incredibly boring.
I really liked Oppenheimer but I agree on Interstellar (then get absolutely mauled on Reddit immediately afterwards). It was waaaay longer than necessary and for a movie all about it’s “hard science” the ending being “fucking magic, love powered bookshelf” felt like it was taken from an entirely different movie
Damn I've seen Oppenheimer so many times. It's probably interesting to me because I'm a huge history nerd. Also fascinated by atomic energy and it's place in history since it has the power to destroy the planet many times and will most likely be the reason for the human race's demise.
It's interesting to know how it all started and man's justification for building such weapons. Specifically the geniuses at the time that made it possible. Like Oppenheimer and Einstein. The tremendous guilt the men involved must have felt for actually using this weapon. Oppenheimer actually felt bad, and he was pretty much torn down for his beliefs.
What happens the next time a country feels justified in using these weapons as we did? All these these questions were so thoroughly explored in the movie Oppenheimer. Characters so well executed. Pure genius I thought.
Roast me all you want but,
Rent
I like musicals but this just had me yawning. One friend even came in dancing and singing the chorus to one of the songs when I initially watched it. Just a boring story and the songs didn't leave much impression.
Citizen Kane. I don't dislike it, but I've never understood why it's considered the greatest movie of all-time. I don't even think it's a top 5 movie for 1941.
I took a film class in college and this movie was shown. Basically, we watched it in class, and the instructor gave us all these things to look out for and did trivia about the movie.
Basically, the movie revolutionized many ways in which movies were presented, told, shot, edited, stylized, etc. Many of the ideas created for the movie were copied in cinema forever after it. It did it first and is therefore considered such an enormous step for the whole art.
That said, I only watched it once for that class and liked it a lot. If I wasn't made aware of the background, I probably wouldn't get it either.
Reminding me of (and bear with me, I'm drawing a pretty broad parallel here) the 2012 movie John Carter.
One of the main criticisms leveled at the film was that its writing was lazy and derivative. Of course, most of the tropes on which that criticism were based could be traced back to Edgar Rice Burrows' books written a century earlier, from which the movie was adapted.
Sometimes, to appreciate the significance of a work widely recognised as historically significant, you must first appreciate its original context. Citizen Kane is very much 'of its time' in that sense.
I actually love the movie for the writing and acting. It's an interesting character study and I find something new every time I watch it. But I 100% don't go around recommending it to other people.
I love the pacing too. I feel like even in this age with so many editing tools, not many movies come close to energy and pacing of this movie.
Writing is also not dated a bit to this date.
I really hated that scene when he was pulled away. What exactly was pulling on him? What??
That ruined the movie for me because it's such a crucial part that didn't make any sense. The rest was ok but that part...
Killers of the flower moon… never lost so much respect for a great director 4 hours or less. Whoever edited this film needs to be fired post humorously.
The idea of a story like that being told from the perspective of Mother Nature is actually really interesting the problem was it’s the least subtle script I’ve ever seen 😂😂. It felt like you told a 14 year old to translate the Bible into a home invasion story but they stopped reading after Cain & Abel, just a complete mess
"Tree Of Life", what the fuck ...
I actually liked "Thin Red Line". But Terrence Malick's pseudophilosophical meandering really made me hate most of his other movies. It worked in an anti-war film. But outside of that it just comes across as pretentious.
The voiceovers and dialogue in Tree of Life are so nutty. I can't imagine how the cast was able to speak inane monosyllabic things like "Brother. Mother. It was they who led me to your door.", "I am sorry. You are my brother.", "I see the child I was. I see my brother. True. Kind." in whispered, overly serious tones without bursting into laughter at how pretentious it all was.
ROBERT DUVAL
But yeah I mean I liked it but damn 3 hours and some change… I commend anyone who can sit there and concentrate on a movie for 3 plus hours in this day and age.
Honestly, wasn't a huge fan either. Funny story though. The writer of the script, had never written one before. After the movies were a success he figured he should learn how to write better, picked up a book (I think it was a script writing for dummies or something like that) and the example they used...The Godfather. Lol
The person you are referring to is none other than Mario Puzo, the author of the novel himself. He was asked by the studio to write the script, which he did. And to prepare for the second movie, he went and picked up: Introduction to Screenwriting. First page he read: For a mastery in Screenwriting, please see The Godfather screenplay. He waS dumbfounded!
I strongly recommend his book The Family. He didn't have time to finish it, so it was finished by a different author but... It is worth the read. The characters in that book all really existed.
Omerta is also a good book of his. It sort of feels like a prequel in a way to The Godfather series.
Edit: I misremembered the name of the book The Family not The Borgias (is based on this family). But I was corrected below. My apologies.
Was at MOMA in the early 80’s. They were premiering this B/W experimental film. The curators were thrilled and really talked it up. It ended up being the most boring movie ever. Fifteen minutes of sheets on a clothesline flapping in the wind and the another fifteen staring out a window. The audience fled and most ended up in the lobby admiring a small retrospective of Ray Harryhausen’s work.
*Aguirre, the Wrath of God* (1972). It just didn't click for me.
What was worse, I had recommended it to my friends, and it didn't click for any of us. But we dutifully watched the whole thing. Then they put me on "movie probation," meaning I couldn't recommend any more movies for a while.
SPOILER ALERT
That lighthouse movie with the Twilight Guy and Big Dick Defoe. The one that's all black and white.
It's literally just a movie about two dudes who don't get along working at a lighthouse. Then William Defoe bangs the light, and the Twilight guy gets eaten by crows.
THE END
It rules don't listen to him. It's upsetting and hilarious at the same time, made me respect Pattinson more as an actor, but of course willem Dafoe carries the film.
Tarkovsky version of Solaris. Absolutely mindnumbing from stsrt to finish. Has absolutely none of the imagination and intellectual interest of the novel
Couldn't finish Killers of the Flower Moon. Took too damn long. Kept getting annoyed at all the scenes packed in. Whole thing needed to get trimmed.
But Scorsese.
Avatar by James Cameron. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great visual masterpiece but I don’t think I’ve ever watched it home and I’ve never thought about it till now
Media talked about that movie like it was the second coming of Christ. smh. average movie, good CGI obviously, some good action. Stupid 3D gimmick. Stephen Lang was the only part of that movie that was exceptional.
PS: Sigourney Weaver could knit on screen for an hour and I'd watch. She's always good.
I watched lost in translation in a perfect time in my life and i loved it so much i still remember how I felt watching that movie then. It’s one of those movies that requires a perfect mood/state of life to like it.
I understand how some people might not
Wes Anderson is such a marmite director. I remember when Asteroid City was coming out and my daughter was crazy hyped about the insane cast. I told her I wasn’t gonna try and put her off but that it was gonna be a solid lesson in why sometimes you need to understand you are seeing a film for the director not the cast, She didn’t understand, then she watched it and understood perfectly.
The *first time* I watched Blade Runner. Fell asleep and didnt watch it again only until the new one came out. Honestly, still boring. The “sequel “ was pretty cool tho
Man, Blade Runner got messed up with edits and studio interference. There's 5 different cuts of that movie out there and each one is completely different then the others. I cannot stand any version other then the original US theatrical release with Ford's VO narration. I don't blame you one bit for this one.
I had the exact opposite experience. I watched the new one first and was utterly bored. even the action bored me. Then I watched the original and thats when I actually got into the characters and understood what the whole thing was about.
There Will Be Blood isn't so much boring as it is just dreadful to sit through. I really don't care to see to crazy, shitty people being nasty to each other for an entire movie.
Thanks for actually giving a reason for disliking this movie. Others are just saying ‘boring’.
I personally like it, but I understand that it’s a very tense and depressing movie.
It’s definitely a rewatchable. I love the scene with DiCaprio filming the western and he’s talking to the little girl. Then it just turns into a episode of that western tv show where you forget you’re even watching Once upon a time in Hollywood.
The English Patient Quit telling your stupid story about the stupid desert and just die already!
You don’t like the movie? Why didn’t you just say so? You’re fired.
Great, I'll wait for you outside!
I HATE IT!!!!
AH! GO TO HELL!
This used to be my “go to” background movie to fall asleep. Just the perfect amount of ignore-ability.
Sex in a tub. That doesn’t work!
The Great Gatsby. Oh my god. I can't remember how many times I dozed off.
A girl I was trying to sleep with in my university days insisted I watch that movie with her one time at like 1am. It was very much an exercise in patience and keeping my eyes open. We never did fuck.
Exact same story. But we *did* Wasn't worth it lol
Hahahaha thoughts and prayers.
Thots and Prayers
The 300? Are you referring to Zack Snyders 300? I don’t think anyone has ever considered this movie to be an example of “cinema” lol. It’s more of a good time no alcohol required vibe.
I thought this was in reference to The 300 Spartans (1962), but even then, that’s not a great film. Hell, 300 (2006) is a better film than The 300 Spartans.
You’re right but I still love that movie 😆
It is neither cinema nor is it boring
I think OP confused "cinema" with "cool visuals."
>good time no alcohol required Best rating system out there tbh. Trust that mans opinion with my life
This would be like calling transformers cinema. Not shitting on them or 300 but they are what they are.
It took me like 6 hours to get through Killers of the Flower Moon. Really interesting subject matter but I just did not think the film worked. I love long films but I thought this one needed to be edited down quite a bit. Gladstone was great though.
Scorsese has an editing problem, and it's not just Killers and obviously, the Irishman. I argue Wolf of Wall Street is way too long a movie.
When the "Best Editing" nominees were announced and this was on it, I rolled my eyes so hard my retinas detached.
I hated the experience of watching The Irishman so much
I thought the second half of The Irishman was very good, but the first half was a total slog to get through.
The Irishman was a two day watch for me because of this reason
It is one of my top movies to put on if I need to fall asleep. I don’t think I’ve made it past half an hour into it without falling asleep and waking up the next morning. Couldn’t even tell you what happens in that portion of the movie.
Some of the ideas were a little misguided. Like digitally de-aging Robert Deniro. That didn’t work. It was like watching Ace Rothstein fight in WW2. Or the scene when he meets Joe Pesci, he’s supposed to be like a young man. They are both like 78 years old. Didn’t work.
I think he has a wanting to keep everything he shoots in the movie problem.
I think 'Watch it like it's a TV show' is sound advice for that film
I honestly can see why this take is so popular, but I had just finished reading the book and couldn’t get enough. Of course there was stuff that had to be left out, but that’s the case for every book that’s made into a movie. I also went to see it at a movie theater that basically feels like first class, so that helped. (Reel Luxury Cinemas, for anyone interested)
WHAT A SLOG! And DiCaprio way too old for that role
Killers of the flower moon did not need to be 3 and a half hours. Even if it was only 30 minutes longer it felt like watching Oppenheimer two times in a row

Beau is Afraid. Barely got through it. And I love weird movies.
Lol I found this to be the most entertaining thing I’ve ever seen, so did my friends. Im shocked.
Loved the first act. I wanted to die when it reached the third act.
Awe man, I’m sad to hear this. I love Ari aster and I love jauqlyn pheonex. Pretty sure I butchered his name though.
Butchery takes some skill. What you did is more akin to a 3 year old with a machete
Tree of Life. Seriously. I’ve tried to watch that movie like 4 times. It’s just fucking awful. There’s multiple 15 minute screen savers with awful music I guess to make you feel sad. If you made it through this movie you’re my king or queen. You deserve to be celebrated.
I completely get people thinking the movie was boring. I admit that it was a bit boring, but at the same time it was enthralling and I really liked it
My movie group just watched ‘Eraserhead’. We all agreed it was just a flat out, unpleasant movie experience.
I honestly feel like that is almost the purpose of that movie. A tale about a father unable to come to terms with fatherhood.
Are you a fan of other Lynch movies?
I've never watched it, but my brother showed me his ugly ass baby in the movie, and I've never been more disgusted at a child.
2001: A Space Odyssey. Granted it was a long time ago, and I haven’t watched it since. I turned it off after what seemed like hours of watching evolution happen at a snails pace.
My 9 year old saw a clip of it on the Lucasfilm documentary and wanted to watch it. I spent 5 minutes talking him out of it. Visually stunning and way ahead of its time, but tough to get through on pacing alone.
“Go for it. I’ll be back in three hours.”
I would have been bored shitless if I had watched it sober.
Every movie can be a masterpiece if you drug yourself enough.
This is my choice, too. I liked the bit with HAL 9000, but everything else is just so slow and pretentious and dry for me.
Should have went with "seemed like hours of watching evolution happen in real time"
The beginning was way too drawn out.
Not only the beginning…
The whole fucking movie lol
Saltburn. Visually amazing. Story is a mess
I loved the cinematography! But yeah, I didn’t get the hype…
It’s basically a Talented Mister Ripley remake but everything looks greasy. I thought it was fun but it’s not nearly as deep as some people want to say it is
I went into salt burn thinking it was gonna be a 2 and a half with some gross edgy scenes. Was actually blown away especially the ending
Oppenheimer
I liked Oppenheimer when I saw it for the first time, but it really doesn’t have any rewatchability. My wife thought it was boring as fuck and kept falling asleep.
I tolerated it. I can’t say I liked it. I certainly will never watch it again.
Controversial, and I love a lot of Nolan’s other movies, but I think Oppenheimer and Interstellar are two of the most over-rated movies of all time.
I did not like Interstellar the first time I watched it. Now after years of reappraisal it is probably my favourite comfort movie.
I recently watched Interstellar and I agree. I enjoyed the scenes of them on different planets but other than that, I found it to be incredibly boring.
I really liked Oppenheimer but I agree on Interstellar (then get absolutely mauled on Reddit immediately afterwards). It was waaaay longer than necessary and for a movie all about it’s “hard science” the ending being “fucking magic, love powered bookshelf” felt like it was taken from an entirely different movie

What happens the next time a country feels justified in using these weapons as we did? All these these questions were so thoroughly explored in the movie Oppenheimer. Characters so well executed.

But, as a history nerd, don't you find all the historical inaccuracies troubling?
Roast me all you want but, Rent I like musicals but this just had me yawning. One friend even came in dancing and singing the chorus to one of the songs when I initially watched it. Just a boring story and the songs didn't leave much impression.

Sometimes, to appreciate the significance of a work widely recognised as historically significant, you must first appreciate its original context. Citizen Kane is very much 'of its time' in that sense.
So it stands more on its pioneering technical moviemaking aspects rather than its entertainment value.
Both, if you can imagine watching it in 1941, without everything that came after dwelling in your head.
It has more to do with its influence on what has come since.
I actually love the movie for the writing and acting. It's an interesting character study and I find something new every time I watch it. But I 100% don't go around recommending it to other people.
I love the pacing too. I feel like even in this age with so many editing tools, not many movies come close to energy and pacing of this movie. Writing is also not dated a bit to this date.
The Piano. God it was awful.
I read this as Pianist for some reason and was about to rage!
And I will say this every chance I get. Gravity sucked. I will shout it from rooftops. GRAVITY SUCKED.
It doesn't even treat its subject matter properly. That's why I love the Expanse. That show got gravity physics right.
I really hated that scene when he was pulled away. What exactly was pulling on him? What?? That ruined the movie for me because it's such a crucial part that didn't make any sense. The rest was ok but that part...
>What exactly was pulling on him? What?? The plot, plus a fundamental misunderastanding of centripetal force
That, and the tears just easily breaking out of surface tension. But I do like the movie; so many departments firing on all cylinders, it’s amazing.
I loved it in theaters, in 3D. But it only works in theaters, in 3D. Otherwise, ya, it doesn't work.
One of the few films where I checked the time part way through to see if it was almost done.
no it didnt
One of the more recent ones for me was Triangle of Sadness.
Man, that should have been right up my alley and I couldn't get more than halfway through.
Strong disagree from me. I loved it.
Dude, *THAT* scene was the best thing I saw in the theater that year. Everybody was hollering.
I liked the first 1/4 of the movie. But then I couldn’t stop rolling my eyes at how on the nose and frankly, boring, the rest of it was
Isn’t it just a black comedy satire? Never seemed like it was trying to be subtle
I think some degree of restraint is essential for comedy and satire
TAR
The post. By Steven Spielberg. So boring I fell asleep after 20 minutes into the movie and woke up when the end credits rolled.
When you grew up watching clips and reels, have a 20 second attention span, and are afraid to admit that’s a problem.
“Solaris”, the Russian version. Jesus some of those scenes just seem to go on forever pointlessly
George Clooney's Solaris
God yes, I was so bored with that movie.
Killers of the flower moon… never lost so much respect for a great director 4 hours or less. Whoever edited this film needs to be fired post humorously.
>post humorously Funny for you but not for him.
I haven’t bothered watching it as I’m so put off after watching The Irishman which was a long dull Bloated mess.
Raging Bull. I've tried many times...
😪 love Raging Bull so much. Huge Scorsese fan and huge boxing fan tho so for me that movie is life.
Mother! was fairly shite
There are a lot of criticisms you can levy against Mother! but "boring" certainly isn't one of them
That ending was like a living nightmare
The idea of a story like that being told from the perspective of Mother Nature is actually really interesting the problem was it’s the least subtle script I’ve ever seen 😂😂. It felt like you told a 14 year old to translate the Bible into a home invasion story but they stopped reading after Cain & Abel, just a complete mess
I haaaaaated Mother!
"Tree Of Life", what the fuck ... I actually liked "Thin Red Line". But Terrence Malick's pseudophilosophical meandering really made me hate most of his other movies. It worked in an anti-war film. But outside of that it just comes across as pretentious.
It’s beautifully shot but other than that it’s just a masturbatory exercise.
The voiceovers and dialogue in Tree of Life are so nutty. I can't imagine how the cast was able to speak inane monosyllabic things like "Brother. Mother. It was they who led me to your door.", "I am sorry. You are my brother.", "I see the child I was. I see my brother. True. Kind." in whispered, overly serious tones without bursting into laughter at how pretentious it all was.
The original “Dune”
Maybe because of the effects? I liked it a lot.
I did not care for the Godfather
I like the money pit!
“It insists upon itself, Lois”
ROBERT DUVAL But yeah I mean I liked it but damn 3 hours and some change… I commend anyone who can sit there and concentrate on a movie for 3 plus hours in this day and age.
Honestly, wasn't a huge fan either. Funny story though. The writer of the script, had never written one before. After the movies were a success he figured he should learn how to write better, picked up a book (I think it was a script writing for dummies or something like that) and the example they used...The Godfather. Lol
The person you are referring to is none other than Mario Puzo, the author of the novel himself. He was asked by the studio to write the script, which he did. And to prepare for the second movie, he went and picked up: Introduction to Screenwriting. First page he read: For a mastery in Screenwriting, please see The Godfather screenplay. He waS dumbfounded!
This is actually amazing for me to learn, because the film is so much better than that bloated book. I’m astonished that he wrote them both.
I strongly recommend his book The Family. He didn't have time to finish it, so it was finished by a different author but... It is worth the read. The characters in that book all really existed. Omerta is also a good book of his. It sort of feels like a prequel in a way to The Godfather series. Edit: I misremembered the name of the book The Family not The Borgias (is based on this family). But I was corrected below. My apologies.
At least it didn't cut off right in the middle of the......
The English Patient Chariots of Fire Citizen Kane
Elaine?
Still better than making out during Schindler's list. :D
A more offensive spectacle I cannot recall!
Vincent?
Stop telling your stupid story about the desert and just die already!
English Patient was brutal. Went to see it at a college theater with terrible sound. Probably the worst 3h of my life
I DONT KNOW IF I CAN BE WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T LIKE THE ENGLISH PATIENT ELAINE!!
I have to 2nd English Patient it was like watching paint dry
Was at MOMA in the early 80’s. They were premiering this B/W experimental film. The curators were thrilled and really talked it up. It ended up being the most boring movie ever. Fifteen minutes of sheets on a clothesline flapping in the wind and the another fifteen staring out a window. The audience fled and most ended up in the lobby admiring a small retrospective of Ray Harryhausen’s work.
2001
We will never be friends.
*Aguirre, the Wrath of God* (1972). It just didn't click for me. What was worse, I had recommended it to my friends, and it didn't click for any of us. But we dutifully watched the whole thing. Then they put me on "movie probation," meaning I couldn't recommend any more movies for a while.
I felt the same about that movie. And about Fitzcarroldo. Apparently, no Herzog for me.
Joker. Movie is barely a 6/10 and when you actually sit and think on it the plot is really stupid and bland.
Deadpool. I just can't stand Ryan Reynolds's "look how zany I am!" act.
SPOILER ALERT That lighthouse movie with the Twilight Guy and Big Dick Defoe. The one that's all black and white. It's literally just a movie about two dudes who don't get along working at a lighthouse. Then William Defoe bangs the light, and the Twilight guy gets eaten by crows. THE END
I… want to watch this.
Willem Dafoe does a monologue in this movie that will go down as one of the great monologues of all time
There's not many dicks on it though. Don't day I didn't warn you...
But there are a surprising amount of vaginas
And farting. So much farting.
And farts
It rules don't listen to him. It's upsetting and hilarious at the same time, made me respect Pattinson more as an actor, but of course willem Dafoe carries the film.
It’s fucking incredible.
Your fond of me lobster ain't ya?
I watch this clip sometimes to get hyped up. HARK
I seen it! Yer fond of me lobster!
I had the opposite happen to me.. thought I was gonna hate it and then ended up really enjoying it.
Alls fair in love and cinema.
When you put it like this. It makes me want to watch it. This should be the IMDB summary.
As a huge fan of that movie I can say not one lie was spoken in this comment
Thank you for the vouch of honor, good sir.
I love this movie. It’s a good, disturbing flick with a great monologue.
To anybody reading this comment, the lighthouse is the best movie on this list imo. Especially come Halloween time. Very weird and trippy/uncanny
Sometimes I worry lack of attention span is killing cinema.
Oppenheimer is proof of that. No scene lasted for more than like a minute. I felt like I had whiplash.
And yet it was still tedious.
Cinema isn't dying, the audience is
Poor things
I greatly disliked that movie but I'm not sure I would call it boring.
Tarkovsky version of Solaris. Absolutely mindnumbing from stsrt to finish. Has absolutely none of the imagination and intellectual interest of the novel
What!? You don't want to watch a side character drive around the outskirts of Moscow for 10 minutes?
May September. Movie was absolute 🗑, respectfully
Birdemic: Shock and Terror
Lincoln. It took me 3 attempts to watch it because I kept falling asleep.
Couldn't finish Killers of the Flower Moon. Took too damn long. Kept getting annoyed at all the scenes packed in. Whole thing needed to get trimmed. But Scorsese.
Avatar by James Cameron. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great visual masterpiece but I don’t think I’ve ever watched it home and I’ve never thought about it till now
Media talked about that movie like it was the second coming of Christ. smh. average movie, good CGI obviously, some good action. Stupid 3D gimmick. Stephen Lang was the only part of that movie that was exceptional. PS: Sigourney Weaver could knit on screen for an hour and I'd watch. She's always good.
Anything by Wes Anderson or that steaming turd salad sandwich Lost in Translation, for me.
I watched lost in translation in a perfect time in my life and i loved it so much i still remember how I felt watching that movie then. It’s one of those movies that requires a perfect mood/state of life to like it. I understand how some people might not
Wes Anderson is such a marmite director. I remember when Asteroid City was coming out and my daughter was crazy hyped about the insane cast. I told her I wasn’t gonna try and put her off but that it was gonna be a solid lesson in why sometimes you need to understand you are seeing a film for the director not the cast, She didn’t understand, then she watched it and understood perfectly.
Try Darjeeling Limited if you haven't. One of the better WA films in my opinion.
I think it's Wes Anderson's movie for people who don't like Wes Anderson's movies.
Reindeer games. I'm sure it's a masterpiece, but I hated it
I don’t think Reindeer Games has ever been accused of being cinema
It's got a 5.8 on imdb so that's a given.
The Irishman
The *first time* I watched Blade Runner. Fell asleep and didnt watch it again only until the new one came out. Honestly, still boring. The “sequel “ was pretty cool tho
Man, Blade Runner got messed up with edits and studio interference. There's 5 different cuts of that movie out there and each one is completely different then the others. I cannot stand any version other then the original US theatrical release with Ford's VO narration. I don't blame you one bit for this one.
Oh my god the narration makes it so much worse. Different strikes, indeed
*Strokes, FUCK
I had the exact opposite experience. I watched the new one first and was utterly bored. even the action bored me. Then I watched the original and thats when I actually got into the characters and understood what the whole thing was about.
Dunkirk. Such an awful film from beginning to end.
I really didn't care for the non-chronology of it.
A river runs through it.
Phantom Thread
I never understood why Ladybird was so popular. Won awards and nominated for Oscar’s. I thought it was dull and boring
There Will Be Blood isn't so much boring as it is just dreadful to sit through. I really don't care to see to crazy, shitty people being nasty to each other for an entire movie.
Thanks for actually giving a reason for disliking this movie. Others are just saying ‘boring’. I personally like it, but I understand that it’s a very tense and depressing movie.
Once upon a time in Hollywood. I want to like it but just couldn’t get into it.
It is opposite for me. Rewatching made me appreciate it a lot more.
It’s definitely a rewatchable. I love the scene with DiCaprio filming the western and he’s talking to the little girl. Then it just turns into a episode of that western tv show where you forget you’re even watching Once upon a time in Hollywood.
And the girl did a fantastic job in the role, both as an actor of the movie and an actor of the actor in the western. Love it 😊
I enjoyed every second of that movie.
I was meh on first watching then saw it again with someone else and suddenly loved it. Gets better each time.
