Gravity. At the time I attended a “higher-tier” course in Physics (German schooling system), so I noticed an awful lot of ridiculous non-physics, which completely broke the movie for me.
What was one major movie you saw that you didn't like?

I think the whole movie would have been greatly improved if I the last scene Sandra Bullock’s character was crushed to death by the flaming corpse of George Clooney’s character.

Uncut Gems. We turned it off when it became apparent how it would end, when he pawned KG’s necklace to place a bet on him. There wasn’t any reason to care about a guy on a self inflicted downward spiral with no redeeming qualities. Would he win or lose? Would a bookie shoot him or would he make a fortune with that weird opal? Who cares? You’re not rooting for him to win, and he’s probably going to self destruct. Maybe they try to make some vapid point about addiction by having him win big and then immediately killing him so he dies happy, like the end of Sopranos only the character is mildly autistic and unlikeable.

Lord of the rings. I was furious. The effects were absolute cheese. And why were they so long. I can just about read it in the time it takes to watch

Seriously! It feels so stretched out. Froto journeys across the land and drops a ring in a volcano. The End

The Star Wars movies are garbage.

Oppenheimer. Had to turn it off after 30 of trying.

Also there ended up being no point to the Mattel board drama. It didn’t affect the plot at all and at the end it was still all men making decisions based on profit.
Perfect liberal movie, lip service without changing a thing.

Parasite
It didn’t feel as grounded as it seemed to want to be. A bit too indulgent with the family take over. And overall it was much more sympathetic to the wealthy family than to the poors, but that one is more of a moral critique than an artistic one.

Shutter Island, the trailer gave away the whole movie and the trope has been done to death

One Hour Photo. I don’t know if it was Oscar bait or what, but I don’t understand how it has 80% on RT.

Rogue One. Walked out at “Yer a

If you’re a SW fan at all, I recommend trying again. For me it goes Empire > Rogue One > everything else.
jordanlund@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It took me 3 tries to ge through Rogue One, it’s such a garbage movie.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I love martial arts films in general, but this one didn’t grab me.

2001: A space odyssey. Boring, artsy movie that has maybe 30 minutes of story stretched to over 2 hours.
TheRaven@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
The funny thing is that it’s a 2.5 hour movie. Those 30 minutes of story are still only stretched out over the first 2 hours. The last half hour is just boring artsy effects flashing before your eyes.

Oh my god yes. I honestly tried, really hard, and I like a lot of fairly artsy films - but I just can’t enjoy 2001. Everyone says it’s so deep, so meaningful. And yes I’ve done the deep dives, I know about the star child and the evolutionary leaps and all of the meanings.
To me it just falls flat because it’s just trying so hard to be a deep and meaningful film. There’s no story to bridge it, there’s no nuance to me, it’s just beating you over the head with “Hey, look, look at how deep and meaningful this is, it’s so important you understand this is more than just a film”
