Avengers. Any of them, probably.

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Honestly, any of the Monty Python movies. I know people love them, and they have a few funny jokes. But man are they ever drab, I just can't get into them.

[–] Klnsfw@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Most of action movie franchises, tbh: James Bond, Transformers, Mission: Impossible, Fast and Furious, to name a few

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I would argue that while they aren't good, they are fun. I like to call them "shut your brain off movies", and I totally get why people wouldn't like them.

Like Fast and Furious for example. It doesn't have a good story, or writing, or really even great acting. But it does have some really great scenes of cool cars going really fast and sometimes I like to just sit and relax and watch that kind of stuff. At least up till like 5 or maybe 6. Then it starts to get a little too weird for me.

I couldn't get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.

I upvote you for being brave enough to voice your opinion on this.

I like the movies but hey everyone doesn't like everything

Me neither but to be fair I don't like fantasy, adventure or fighting lol. My brother convinced me to have a LOTR marathon and lemme tell ya I got a LOT of laundry done that day....

I completely understand you, even as a fan. Tolkien style of fantasy aged like milk. It's contribution to the genre and literature as a whole is impossible to measure, but it's just not fun anymore if you never saw it before. The movies aged a little better, but still not great. Anyone who says otherwise has either seen his work a very long time ago, or is looking at it with nostalgia glasses. Noone in 2025 could get through all the goofy-ass singing, lack of any shades of gray, unrealistic battles, and tree branch backstories without rolling their eyes once or twice. It really requires the viewer to not treat it too seriously, something like orginal Star Wars Trilogy.

Now that is an unpopular opinion.

This is like an opinion some Easterling would have. /j ;)

What if i told you its got a frypan wielding, tater tasting, gardener?

Saving Private Ryan.

Absolutely hated it.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Do you just not like war movies?

[–] 01011@monero.town 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't mind them. I knew what I was getting into when I went to the theater I simply did not like that particular movie.

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

Once upon a time in Hollywood.

Closely followed by anything that's self-jerking Hollywood's ego. I'm looking at you too La La Land!

Everything Disney did with Star Wars

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Idk Andor is some of the best star wars ever. Even considering the original 3.

Also the lightsaber tech that they have adds so much to the visuals of the movies and TV. Having lightsabers that actually glow AND allow for contact during combat is just incredible.

Rian johnson is a national treasure!!!

Uwe Boll's "Alone in the dark"

I rented that movie, and it was so bad that half way through it I turned it off. When I went back to the rental store they offered me my money back.

I said no. Because some lessons have to be painful in order to learn from them.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

I know this is heresy but any Godfather movie, or the Sopranos, or anything that romanticizes the fucking mafia. To me organized crime characters are pieces of shit I can't admire or relate to. The only movie that ever made me root for gangster types was Pulp Fiction, which is a masterpiece.

[–] colderr@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Super Mario Bros (1993) - it is just horrible, the only good thing about the movie is that it has a practical Yoshi puppet.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

All the Presidents Men. I can see why its a classic, but every time I try to sit down and watch it, i wake up at the end with the typewriter going.
