Post a movie that got big awards or hype that you didn't like.

I'll start. Apocalypse Now Redux. The redux version is like the directors cut. I'll have to watch the original version again but the redux was very bad. It had extra scenes that were boring and silly.

Dr. Strangelove. I just did not laugh and it was made to be part comedy. It just wasn't my taste but I can see why others liked it.

Some Like It Hot- I just didn't find it funny, and the characters were just annoying. But I personally thought Strangelove was a riot.

The Dark Knight- (Aside from Heath Ledgers scenes, I thought the movie was rather dull)

I did not like Citizen Kane (apparently the greatest movie of all time according to the AMA)

or Fargo (one of my friends watches it all the time and i desperately tried to like it but couldn't bring myself to do it)

I also dislike all the Terminators

I liked that one but I didn't fall out of my chair laughing on that one. Marilyn Monroe was just incredible though.

No country for old man. i think it got many awards didnt it? or was it just daniel day lewis? well this is the only movie i can think of. The movie was boring like hell, if it werent for daniel day lewis great acting i wouldnt it even had watch it till the end. This guy with the moustache reminds me of Liquid Ocelot, he would defenetly do a great job as ocelot.

EDIT: I meant There WIll be Blood and not No Country for old man.

Nope. The film only gained any recognition at all because people sometimes mistake surviving a meanderingly dull movie for enjoying a profound cinematic experience... and because Sofia Coppola has a very influential daddy. :P I'm with you on The Dark Knight though. I actually did fall asleep :lol:

Not this. The Dark Knight is one of the greatest movies that I have ever seen. And it is without a doubt the best super hero movie ever made. I would have to say "No Country for Old Men". I really wanted to like that movie, but it was very boring and it really wasnt about anything. It was only about a guy that finds some cash, and then he runs away from someone else for the rest of the movie. It was garbage.

No i agree with Drake. About it not being a great movie that is.
I didn't find it boring, just not good and i didn't find much meaning in it.
What saved the movie for me was one person in the movie; the killer.
He played really well and the scene with him at the gas station is the best in the movie imo.
Brilliant. But apart from that nah.

But i still love You pirate :D

wait what? i thinking im confusing the movies. Is No Country the one with that awsome killer with the coin scene at gas station? i tought it was the one with daniel day lewis about oil or something. If No country is the one with the killer and Tommy lee Jones, then i liked that one, but it was a bir boring too.

There Will Be Blood. I watched it 3 times with the intention of liking it. Never did end up liking that film. Nothing likable about it except for the cinematography and acting.

Meh! As my accomplice You are fired. It's so hard to find someone likeminded.
I think i liked three burials of melquiades estrada even more.
Maybe i didn't watch it right. Sometimes when You're not in the right mood for a movie, it will just suck no matter how good it is.

2001 was kind of slow for me too. They didn't explain the ending in the movie like they did in the book which can make it worse for people who didn't read the book.

Lord of Rings: Fellowship of the Ring- Fell Asleep half-way through the movie

Transformers- It was decent, but I kind of got bored of watching it

And as for the dark knight seeing as that was mentioned I liked the movie and all, but it was a little over-rated I think I like the X-men movies and Spider-Man a bit more.

The first five seconds of Sweeney Todd was barely even the start of the opening credits. If you really walked out that soon in the movie, you really can't say whether or not you liked it.

I will now and forever think of Saving Private Ryan as undeserving of the hype it got. A good movie, no doubt, but it just isn't as good as most people say. There are far better war films out there.

Titanic. There are so many parts of that movie which make me want to punch myself in the face, not least of all being DiCaprio's terrible acting. (He's gotten a bit better these days, but he was painfully bad back then.)
