Avengers Infinity War and Endgame due to their fridging Black Widow and mocking mental illness.
The STs because they are not respectful to the franchise or the original characters.
All of James Bond because he rapes every women he encounters, and he’s a serial killer.
Indiana Jones in general because I don’t like glorification of stealing from indigenous cultures.
The GodFather because its boring and overly violent schlock.
I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.
Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

Stripes has very funny scenes but fails as an overall movie (especially the last act which is just boring).
I mostly agree with this. Stripes is definitely not a great film. The funniest scene for me was with Harold Ramis and the immigrants near the beginning of the movie, when the non-English speakers say their first words.
The film was, I’ll admit, quite entertaining. But it was barely funny.
When’s something gonna happen?
The Blues Brothers is hailed as one of the greatest comedy movies of all time, but when I watched the whole movie one night at no point of the movie did I even chuckle. Seriously? This is considered one of the greatest comedies of all time?
Now, I don’t hate this movie at all, but Napoleon Dynamite. It was very mediocre.
The dance scene was great, though.

Same here.
And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the most boring and unwatchable Quentin Tarantino film ever made. It’s a film that’s nothing more than 2 hours and 5 minutes of setup followed by 35 minutes of payoff. The only reason people like it is because of those last 35 minutes and that’s it.
I have altered Lucas’ visions. Pray I don’t alter them any further.

Problem is by the time of the climax I was far too bored to care, so all in all it was nothing but a three-hour long borefest for me.
I suspect the reason this movie got such positive reviews was a case of The Emperor’s New Clothes, where people refused to acknowledge the movie was terrible simply because Tarantino directed it.
I don’t support “Birdemic: Shock and Terror” (2010). How can anybody like its poor special effects, wooden acting, and nonsensical plot. The film tells the story of a small town that is attacked by birds, but the birds are depicted in the film through the use of cheap, poorly animated computer graphics. So I see the film’s plot as a nonsensical and poorly written one.

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

Yeah, I think Sophie missed why everyone says Birdemic is a “great” movie.

If you want to complain about a Birdemic movie, complain about the “intentionally bad” sequel that just fell flat.
Speaking of “so bad it’s good” movies, The Disaster Artist whitewashed Tommy Wiseau and his awfulness (all present in the book). Just read the book or listen to the audiobook with Greg’s A-grade Tommy impression.

Several professional musicians have dismissed it as a very distorted interpretation of the music world
I lowkey hate A Quiet Place.

Overall I thought the movie was good, but the pro-natalist undercurrent rubbed me the wrong way.
Forrest Gump, this movie is beautiful, but I can’t watch it. very difficult for me, I’m too worried

Ahhh, Forrest Gump. A saccharine film tailor-made to wring an emotional response out of the viewer instead of letting said emotion arise organically, much like E.T. The only reason I don’t dislike that movie is because Forrest is a genuinely likeable character.

Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Didn’t like it. Thought it was quite pretentious.
As Peter Griffin once said, it insists upon itself.

Night of the Living Dead. I tried watching it a couple days ago, but it has aged horribly. The protagonist is a “helpless screaming blonde” of the type that was unfortunately common in old Hollywood, the zombies never feel even slightly threatening, and the soundtrack is overbearing and melodramatic when it should be more subtle and tense. I’m sure it was absolutely terrifying in 1968 when nobody knew what a zombie was yet, but it has almost no value for a modern viewer.

You already had me triggered something fierce. Then to add insult to injury, you referenced Family Guy.

A Hard Days’ Night is honestly one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. I get it was very influential in the development of music videos, but just because something is very influential doesn’t mean it necessarily is enjoyable to most modern viewers.

I’m pretty sure the protagonist was the black guy, Ben, which was a big deal in the 1960s due to the racial tensions that were going on at the time of its release.

I now have in my head the image of Duane Jones with Judith O’Dea’s blond locks. Priceless.

I get that, and I understand that it was a big deal back then, but that’s what I mean by it aging horribly. A modern audience won’t recognize how revolutionary a competent black character was back then, they’ll just see the helpless screaming damsel in distress and the complete lack of any real suspense. “Living Dead” is better as a history lesson than as an actual movie.
