Why have you seen them so many times if you don't like them?

I do like them. I get why people don't when comparing them to the book, and they're definitely not perfect, but I can't see why someone would watch them so many times if they don't like them. 

Family watching movie type of deal, gather everyone up on the weekend so they can surprise us with a Harry Potter marathon. I'm sure they wouldn't have minded if I'd not watched with them, and there were a few times I couldn't take it anymore and skipped a movie or two to play with my k'nex, but mostly I just suffered with my potterhead sisters.

Marie Antoinette (2006). I had to watch this movie for a film class and the teacher neglected to tell us that the movie was not meant to be historically accurate at all. If I was told that before I watched the movie, I would have had a different experience.

I hate almost every movie that has too much singing.

Too annoying.

The Force Awakens. I'll admit that I didn't watch the entire thing, but that's because I couldn't. I loathe power fantasies such as this one and a fair amount of the superhero movies that have been released over the past 20 years. The heroes in these movies are really boring because everything about them is supposed to be perfect and they always win. I really can't stand Rey's dumb but intense facial expressions. She basically just acts exactly the same way Katniss from Hunger Games does - super bland. The producers of the movie are probably to blame for that. Plus there is that weird female Yoda that is like Yoda but a million times cringier. And what was with them making Han Solo super sentimental? It was so unlike the character. The movie was just catering to everything Star Wars fans wanted to see and it was blah.

Honestly most movies or remakes in this decade sucks.

What's next a live action version of Wall-E?

Tremors 5: Bloodlines. It took everything that made the Tremors franchise great... and completely jumped the shark with it by adding a bunch of political tension that had NOTHING to do with Graboids. It was even worse than Tremors 2, which made the stuff about the first movie all confusing by adding way too much to overdevelop the history of the Graboids.

 

If you want to watch Michael Gross locked in a cage, peed on by a lion, and burdened by a hyperactive motorcyclist, watch Tremors 5.

I feel was one of the few people that preferred The Last Jedi to The Force Awakens. I just had so much hope in TFA for it to be ruined with bullshit pandering to fans and other crap and was still pissed they de-canonized the Extended Universe only to basically steal from it. And the fact that so many fans came away singing its praises just increased my hatred. I'm glad it's finally being seen for the trash it is, but holy crap did I hate TFA. 

 

TLJ wasn't much better and objectively is so so much worse, but it at least didn't feel like a complete copy of another movie (just taking from two and mixing them like a salad). Still hated it, but I had also lost faith in the sequel trilogy by then so the bar was so low they came closer to meeting it than TFA for me. Still... holy crap is it bad...

I don't know what the worst movie I've seen is, but the only film I've walked out of was W. I don't see many films in theaters, though, and I've seen worse films overall, I just don't remember them much.

@SithGirl I haven't seen The Last Jedi but I was told the director was trying to piss off fans by not just making everything predictable. That one sounds better but I just lost all interest in Star Wars after The Force Awakens.

(Sorrt about the rant incoming...)

 

If his goal was to piss off fans, then he succeeded. But it wasn't just "not make everything predictable" it was to throw things out of left field that didn't make sense. It was wasting time on a plotline that went nowhere. It was breaking universe rules making past events and actions seem pointless. 

 

For example, he opened the movie with a scene with the Resistance (later called the Rebels multiple times despite the fact that they'd still technically be on the side of the governing body, only because they're so lazy they can't even keep their clone of the OT recolored) staging an attack against a giant ship of the First Order. It's like Vader's star destroyer, I'm led to believe, in how huge and important it is. So Poe wants to take it out and takes an entire squad of bombers and fighters with him. These bombers were designed after WW2 era bombers, I believe (could be WW1, I'm bad with history) so are slow as f**k. They're sitting ducks against the First Order's forces and get decimated. 

People have said the Y-wings from the OT would be much better to use simply because of how defenseless these things are. Sure, they have a bigger bomb-carrying capacity, but it still takes an entire squadron of them to reach their single, huge-as-f*** target. Also they drop their bombs from right above the target, so it seems like they'd be doing suicide runs because they'd be too slow to get out of the blast radius in time. 

 

Also the opening scene is Poe doing a "Are you there? Can you hear me? Hello? Hello? Idiot says what?" joke to the enemy commanding general or admiral or whatever Hux's title is. 

 

You're probably not interested, but I love raging on stuff. MauLer on YouTube did a 3-part series breaking down all the problems in TLJ (each video is around 1.5 to 2 hours, so it's hilarious that his criticism is three times as long as the movie itself). He started a series for TFA but that may never finish because he's planning for it to be so much longer. He also begins his TFA breakdown with about 30-60 min talking about online reviewers and critics and how one can be objective when judging something and it's not all just opinion. So, there are problems.

The movie North with Elijah Wood. It's like if someone attempted to make a kid's movie with cartoonish writing, but only watched racist cartoons from the 40's. There is actual blackface use. At one point, some white guy with face makeup on to make him look more Asian comes up to the main character and goes 'herro, son!' while a bunch of people worship an emperor in the background. This was made in like the 90's. It's a kid's film. What the actual fuck. Plus everything outside of the racism is bad too.

@SithGirl I think I would need to see the scenes you mentioned in the context of the film to get them. What did you think was bad about the opening scene? Was it that it was cringy?

Well, it was a 2017 movie which opened with a dramatic scenario where our protagonists are being attacked by their enemy, they may be done for, but the first focus of the film is one a single man in a tiny ship (a man known to be "the best pilot in the Resistance") going up to the leader of the enemy forces who is in one of the biggest ships in the known universe and saying "Hey, I have a message for this dude. He there? I can't hear you. It's important. Can you hear me? It concerns his mother." And the enemy leader being so "Yes, I can hear you. Why can't he hear me? Is this thing on? Hello? What? Argh! Just shoot him!" 

 

MauLer also dwells on it destroying any respect we have for Hux. In TFA he seemed like he's a force to be reckoned with. Like Grand Moff Tarkin but the equal to Kylo as opposed to Vader's superior. He's an influential figure and one to be respected or feared. Only to not understand when someone is trolling him like a ten year old in TLJ. 

 

This is a movie for a franchise that has fans from the 70s. I know it's trying to engage children, but when you're an adult and this is a universe/franchise you've loved since you were little, do you want it opening to a scene which is groan-inducing humor at best?

As much as I don't like ripping on or not liking Star Wars, I must admit TLJ was a bit meh. It was actually pretty boring and just didn't seem to really go anywhere. Also, Leia's been blown out to space and then waking up and flying herself back to safety? That was rather weird. What's her face that ends up taking command? Came off rather arrogant and condescending,  just to have some hidden honourable intention at the end. That whole thing at the casino that ended up being a waste of time in the end, was an actual waste of time, as if they couldn't think of anything better to write in.

Rubber. It's an awful movie about a sentient tire. It's so bad that I couldn't even bring myself to finish it

Unsurprisingly: The Lion King remake. 💀

Who does XD 

 

I hate all Disney Live actions, I did not like Infinity war nor Civil war. I dont like fantastic beasts and where to find them. Any of the new Star Wars, hate the Hunger Games, Fifty Shades, I dont like any of Lady Gaga bio film nor Queens now Elton Johns one. 

 

I felt no connection or plot or did not like the characters. I did not cry in infinity war. I hate Far from home. I just cannot relate anymore.

 

I hate a lot of moives XD

There's a few films I really don't like. I feel like the Transformers films with Mark Wahlberg was time I wish i could have back... Worst film that springs to mind though is Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It remains to this day the only film I've ever walked out on. Usually even if I don't like a film I'll see it through until the end, but that film was awful. Just 2 hours of nothing but talking. Shame too, because it had such a good cast list. Just shows good actors can't save a bad film.

Clockwork Orange.

I forced myself to watch the whole thing because, you know, it's one of those must-see on the recommend viewing list, great in it's own way, but I can't  listen to "singing in the rain" ever again without having this nightmarish scene playing in my head...

ugh.

Not sure, but Celtic Pride was pretty awful.  You probably haven't heard of it and that's probably for the best.  Ice Age was way too formulaic (but it's for kids, so I guess that's.... okay?)

I wasn't a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy, it wasn't the worst movie ever, I guess, but the humor didn't really work for me and it dragged at places.  Love Star Wars, though, in general anyway-- some of them are better than others, granted.

Just... nasty. I don't like aliens or anything for that matter, bursting out of people on my screen. Every time I see it on the TV guide I shutter

"La Grande Bellezza" (I think it's been translated as "The Great Beauty"). Fuck that movie. Boring, cliché, unoriginal, waaaaaaay too long for the message it was trying to convey, completely devoid of a proper storyline, and yet it won an Oscar. Though honestly what I hated the most about it was the fact that, when it came out, as soon as anyone said anything bad about it, a horde of pretentious assholes would magically materialize out of thin air to basically say that if you didn't like it, you were an ignorant person. Honestly, let me say that if many people are struggling to stay awake while watching a movie, maybe maybe there's something wrong with it.

Holy crap! I literally just finished watching two of Paolo Sorrentino's movies, and was thinking to myself he's such a good director, and yet his most famous work is "La Grande Bellezza" - soulless, vapid and looooong!

Then here's another movie channel I absolutely love to hate. Those Hallmark movies.

I want to wipe their faces off the face of the earth.

The Lion King 1994. My parents took me to see it in 1994, and the murder of Prince Simba's father ruined the entire movie for me (if I had not been four years old then I would have left the theatre; the scene was THAT bad). The movie proved itself to be one of those highly emotional cryfests which I prefer to avoid. Of course, I will not be watching The Lion King 2019.

IAvengers: Age of Ultron. The forced romance with Black Widow and Hulk was uncomfortable, and I didn't find the villain Ultron all that interesting.

i have a type of least favorite film moreso than a single film. Its those types that try to be more tricky and slick than they need to be. M. Night Shyamalan is the king of this kind of film with The Happening be a prime example. I mean you are lead throughout the entire film to believe that its the plants that are causing the craziness then at the very end Shyamalan in a cameo pretty much tells you that no one knows why things are happening essentially pulling the rug out from under your feet. It was infuriating and made me feel that my time invested in the film was pointless. Give me a good story, told well, with no fancy effects or plot twists and im happy as a lark

I guess I would say No Country for Old Men, but not because it's a bad film, really.  It's probably a great film, but a friend told me it was a comedy and that's how I wound up in the theater watching it with other people and it was extremely disturbing to me.  Lesson learned--always do your own research when someone says, "Hey, let's go see this movie!"

 

I'm a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000, so I enjoy watching bad movies, but I did not enjoy Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey.  Neither was really a fun sort of bad movie.  I never finished either series because the first installments were so awful.
