List Some Movies That The Critics Liked, But You Didn't, OT !

[QUOTE="XxxExtremeNJBXx"]

What about Departed's ending didn't you like?

Star Trek was phenomenal, but then again I'm a sci-fi comic geek. Same goes for Avatar.

Never seen Darko or Unstoppable(or Taking of Pelham 123, I seen the original Taking of Pelham One Two Three though)

• The Departed: Ugh. This film had outstanding-acting, but fell-flat on it's face at the end.
• Donnie Darko: Not anything what I expected, at all. Bad-acting, cheesy-lines, weird-as-hell storyline. What did they see in this?
• Star Trek: Nothing but visuals here.
• Avatar: Very, very boring movie with ground-breaking CGI.
• Unstoppable: This movie made "Taking of Pelham 123" seem like a great move.

I'll be sure to add more whenever they come to mind.

There Will Be Blood simply did not sit well with me, and my opinion is usually pretty similar to many critics as a whole. It's not the fact that There Will Be Blood was unexpectedly slow (which it was), but the entire message seemed little more than a character profile, that was extremely overrated.

Sideways. I will never understand why anyone likes Sideways.

The Hurt Locker, Paranromal Activity, Social Network, Inglourious Basterds, Pan's Labyrinth, Inception, and quite a few others I can't remember.

I'm surprised at how little people said Hurt Locker, it's one of the highest rated movies of all time, but it's just so f***ing awful, there's no accuracy to it at all even though the movie tries to act so realistic, shaky-cam is just stupid, it's juts so over the top it's ridiculous, and it's extremely boring and drags out...

A Clockwork Orange, that film was just so damn boring. I understood the message and everything but it was just not ejoyable to watch.xTheExploited

Scarface was boring as crap to me.

The King's Speech

Every single war film.

zombie land. I only like the twikie side story.

No Country for Old Men.

Dark Knight

You humans take movies too seriously.

Titanic was an atrocious movie.

Avatar was boring and predictable.

And Paranormal activity was funny, in a bad way.

that would be Avatar

The Class. Did not like the ending. Half Nelson too.

Avatar - The biggest rip off peice of faeces ever made in my opinion,

Titanic - same "boat" as avatar without the rip off part

Also on the people saying they didnt like the departed because of the ending, i dont see whats wrong with it, it had a very satisfieing ending in my opinion [spoiler] sure every1 dies but still a good ending. [/spoiler]

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Thought it was a rotting piece of garbage with a horrible plot with some of the most unbelievable and stupid characters strung together with MTV vomit, Internet memes and stupid gamer culture.

No Country for Old Men andThe Hurt Locker

Oh and The Exorcist, that movie was hilarious to me.

Avatar, of course.

paranormal activity. i thought it was really stupid, boring, and not that scary.bizzy420

Watchmen. angrules23

Ah, the infamous "Prove You Have Bad Taste" thread! As my own taste in films is suspect at times (for example, I genuinely enjoy Rocky Horror, in a non-ironic and not "so bad it's good" way) I love these.

Slumdog Millionaire. Exploitative, cliched and bombastic. Sure, it's inspired by Bollywood movies, but that's really no excuse.

Crash. Stupid, stupid race relations nonsense with all the grace and subtlety of a crack fiend wielding a sledgehammer. 76% on Rotten Tomatoes!? WTF.

Forrest Gump. A cruel woman emotionally abuses a retarded man over the course of 30 years. Saccharine tripe, and a love song that baby boomers don't deserve.

And just to prove I'm not only picking low hanging fruit here...

2001. I can't defend this one. I love every other Kubrick film (yes, even Barry Lyndon), but I found this one dull and plodding.

2001! You too. As a scifi fan, I catch a whole lot of heat from my friends for not liking that movie. I thought it was because I was young when I saw it. But tried it again last year and apparently, we are of the same oppinion on it.

More movies then I can even count right now... the biggest probably being Citizen Kane...

Toy Story (all of them)Woody annoyed me.

The Exorcist. It was so very boring for too much of the movie.

LOTR. Outside of the battles was really a snoozer.

War movies in general. Especially Saving Private Ryan. The beginning was good and the rest I just didn't care about.

Seven Pounds. That movie was so incredibly terrible. I felt like I wasted hours of my life when it was over. I guess they were going for dramatic; it was imo, a dramatic fail.

Inception. I guess I liked it, but people hyped it up so much that when I got around to seeing it (two days ago) I was feeling seriously let down.

Watchmen, took way too long to get to the plot points.00-Riddick-00

Ever read the novel? It follows the novel almost tit for tat, except the ending(which I thought the movie handled better)

The Watchman was a bad movie because Zack Snyder got his grubby paws on it... I was really hoping Terry Gilliam would have gotten the chance to make that movie...

The Hurt Locker, Paranromal Activity, Social Network, Inglourious Basterds, Pan's Labyrinth, Inception, and quite a few others I can't remember.

StealthMonkey4

Pulp Fiction, Grease, The Godfather, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan.

I can keep going.ff7fan2

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Saving Private Ryan.

It's not bad per se, but I just get really bored with it by the end.

This is coming from someone who LOVES The Thin Red Line btw.

I didn't like Jaws either.

Toy Story 3. I loved 1 and 2, but TS3 was a huge disappointment for me.

Avatar. How that clone of Pocahontas got any rewards is beyond me.

127 Hours. Seriously one of the most boring movies I've ever watched. The editing was cool though.Crazyguy105

Pan's Labyrinth super_mario_128

[QUOTE="XxxExtremeNJBXx"][QUOTE="Enid_Green"]

I generally pick 5 or so critics that I find myself agreeing with a lot and then follow their advice on what to see and what to skip.

Enid_Green

I agree with that, but I'm not spending $30 on movie tickets to see something I won't like.

Spirited Away, Star Trek, Avatar, and No Country for Old Men.

Spirited Away is definitely the biggest one. what a piece of ****.

2001. I can't defend this one. I love every other Kubrick film (yes, even Barry Lyndon), but I found this one dull and plodding.drochnathair
