Beloved films that you despise?
- Thread starter EdgeXL
- Start date
The Big Lewboski - love the actors but somehow the movie still managed to be awful.
Pretty much any Wes Anderson movie after Rushmore.
The Fantastic Beast movies don't have any charm to them. The main character is incredibly annoying.
Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies are just flat out awful. A shame as to how far he has fallen as a director.
Inside Out just made me depressed. Probably the worst movie out out by them by a large margin.

Contact was also about the power of love or some other bullshit.
Ok, I didnt care for unforgiven, but did not DESPISE it lol. Never saw the other one.
Lol ET too. Saw it as a kid around age 8, was just confused and bored.
Same goes for ghostbusters.

Inception is the second worst Nolan joint, and overrated as hell. Interstellar is kinda underrated and gets too much flack.
Fight Club. It took me many years to go near a Fincher film because of how wanky Fight Club was (plus the cult around it for a few years after it came out_
Shrek - FUCK SHREK
Dunkirk - Boring ass shit movie that drags with boring shit characters
Akira - almost turned me off from anime altogether
Jurassic World - what a waste
The Incredibles - Fuck this Randian garbage

I hate Tim Burton films. Partially, it's because I hate the way most of them look like. For example Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the chocolate factory.
Also this. These movies simply bore me. I don't care about what happens there. There are no characters I care about. All of them are assholes. Am I supposed to care for Michael Corleone? I fucking hate this asshole.

i think it received prettymuch instant backlash but i thought ACADEMY AWARD WINNING FILM birdman was fucking atrocious

The only way The Incredibles is Randian is if you have read literally nothing about Rand and have also never actually seen The Incredibles
The Fifth Element. Was so close to walking out of the theater. Why didn't I? I still question it.
I don't think I've ever seen a film that I despised! When I was wee my mum took us to see Turtles 3 and it bored me so much I went out to sit in the car. That's maybe the most negative reaction to a film I've ever had.
Funny Games (too heavy-handed)
500 Days of Summer (adorkable crap that considers listening to The Smiths to be totally quirky)
Martyrs (utterly ridiculous while trying to be edgy and super deep)

Pacific Rim. If it didn't take itself so seriously (girl backstory, dialogues in general) it would be a great monster movie, but as it is it's utter nonsense filled with deus ex machina moments (sword that could have prevented everything from the prologue from happening). I even agree with CinemaSins stance on this one
I think I hate Gran Turino.
The politics in that movie is just wrong. Like, if it weren't Clint Eastwood directing I'd say the film is obviously not portraying his character's views as right. But since it is him, I know that it is.
Agreed.

Lion. I wholeheartedly wanted the roof of Saroo's apartment to collapse and crush him to death so I could be spared from yet another shot of him crying in front of a computer.
This is a good pick.
I think it's Fincher's weakest film next to Benjamin Button.
The Game and Se7en are the superior early Fincher films.
The Matrix
Ghostbusters
Mad Max
Birdman
The Deer Hunter
Every John Hughes movie other than Ferris Bueller and maybe Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

The Condemned - The movie that wants to be Battle Royale and The Running Man is telling us the that violence is bad.
The Dark Knight. I can't stand to watch it (or the other two Nolan Batman movies) for longer than a few minutes.
I'm not sure it's "beloved," but Scarface is honestly one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. It has no artistic or entertainment value whatsoever.
Fight Club kinda sucks too. Or maybe the shitty bro culture fandom it spawned has just soured my opinion on it.

i really cant stand ET to. my mam loved it and i really just didnt like anything to do with it.
jungle book, pinocchio and dumbo. i love disney movies but i actually hate these 3 yet i enjoyed the live action jungle book remake.
Dark Knight i find ok, nothing more nothing less.

I've never made it beyond 15 minutes into the film because of this.
I understand not liking what others like who even not liking movies that receive near universal praise. However I find overrated to be one of most useless ways to critique a movie or a movies reception and intentionally or not you're implying your opinion is more correct than others.
I despise Star Wars Episode 7. I think it's a terrible movie.
-such a retread. Tries nothing new. Plays it safe to the point of being boring.
-the coincidence of running into retired Han and chewy with the millennium falcon is just too much
-death star 2.0. Destroying 5 entire fucking planets in such a quick timeframe, only to 5x the original - and it is a devastation of billions of people that completely devoids any follow up Star Wars of any real consequence. You can't top killing billions
-Rey is incredibly boring and predictable. The entire thing with her parents is boring. She is boring.
-Kyle Lo'Ren just attempts to recreate the Luke/Vader father thing, and fails. He is not very interesting. He makes it feel like the twilight saga
-Fin is a dumb character and I'm sorry, with five fucking planets being destroyed and billions dead, his comic relief shtick is borderline offensive to my sense of decency. He also confuses me to no end about storm troopers. He has no development other than being a wuss and then finally 'standing up for his friend', which is some played out crap.
-somehow the new death Vader, who is evil enough to destroy five planets and kill his dad, can't kill a brand new Jedi or fin. Okay.
-the entire movie kind of retcons and erases any progress made from the entire lineage of the series. It just feels like the universe is doomed to oppression. The rebels will always be the small-time rebels. We are stuck with the same 5-6 characters forever in this series + manufactured "Hope". It somehow feels rote after the series was dormant for nearly 10 years.
-the movie has a forgettable soundtrack
-action and visual FX lack ambition or scope
-zero interesting or likeable characters
-JJ Abraham's is so overrated. He is a "made by committee" filmmaker.
Atleast Episode 8 dared to be different and had some interesting moments with Luke and some great visual FX and action.

"Despise" is a very strong word, I can't think of any truly beloved movie that I actually hate.
I will say that My Neighbour Totoro was really disappointing though. Being already a fan after Nausicaa, Mononoke, and Spirited Away - and Totoro being considered the "best" Ghibli film supposedly - I was already checking my watch halfway through. It looks lovely though.
I don't despise it, but I wouldn't watch it on purpose.

Pixar's last minute villain revelations are becoming annoyingly predictable.
