Genuinely surprising. I know not every movie is loved by everyone, but I thought Saving Private Ryan was generally regarded as one of the better efforts. What other movies do you enjoy from the genre?
So my favorite mini series of all time is Band of Brothers, I watch it yearly. I've tried several times to make sense of why I don't like saving private Ryan, and The closest I've ever come is some of the casting decisions I just felt were a little bit off, the performances a bit stilted.
Again, not shitting on the movie just trying to explain why it never did it for me.
Vin Diesel tried his best, okay?
I have never tried so hard to like an artist as Frank Ocean. He isnt for me, other than his Earl festures and when Three Stacks did a quick track on Blonde.
Its no disrespect, its me thats the problem
I try to avoid a lot of discourse around movies/books I haven't seen yet as the expectation can ruin it for me. That said, Infinity War and Ready Player One (the book) still get me angry thinking back on them and the hype didn't help. (Public opinion seems to have flipped largely on the latter, but there was a point when it was held up)
for me it's more anger, like "why the fuck did i even waste my time on this and what's wrong with all these people"
i wish breaking bad was a movie because at least the only time I wasted would've been around 2 hours. bring your fucking downvotes i don't care if you don't mind pointless plot points that keep going nowhere, and repeatedly underlined things are either dropped unceremoniously, or meet very unsatisfying and unbelievable ends. breaking bad was badly written and entirely carried by its phenomenal actors.

Oppenheimer Barbie Place Beyond the Pines
Didn't get the hype for any of them at all. Oppenheimer was just fucking stupid and entirely too long for no reason, plus the Florence pugh scene where shes just sitting with her tits out for no reason was just wildly out of place
Barbie was just generic trash, and everyone knew or should have known it was a money grab. I dont think it was feminist at all, it was basically Marvel but for girls, and I generally think most marvel movies are bad
Place beyond the pines was just boring. And the plot was horrid.
Oppenheimer is so long because its based on the book American Prometheus
The book is literally longer than the Qur'an.
Quran on Audible: 20 hours. American Prometheus: 26 hours.

The Exorcist might be the most boring horror movie ever made.
if i lived life thinking there was something wrong with me just because i don't like something it seems like everyone else likes, then that would be one miserable existence--no thanks. anyway, for me it was the big lebowski--probably the most boring pointless movie i ever sat through
Well that just like, your opinion man..

Any of those boring-ass superhero movies. What is so appealing about hour-long GCI fight scenes and no plot?

Avatar. Technically the 3D was fun, but I can't understand any of the rabid fandom.
