The Dark Knight Rises. Not only is it a bad Batman movie, it oddly has a pro cop message. Also, I can't take Bane seriously at all with that ridiculous voice.

A stressful two hours of screaming and bad decisions

Gravity.

Literally the only movie I've ever turned off part way through. Youd think that the producers would have, i don't know, accurately depicted the force the movie is named after.

citizen kane. I mean I get it. If you geek out on cinematography history and the first of doing stuff but its just plain boring.

Lucas directed Star Wars. Any. He's an awful director in almost every aspect. Some of the worst acting from extremely talented people I've ever seen because he doesn't know how to direct them.

Take the same cast, story, massage the script, and have ANYONE else direct, and it'd be great. I just can't with Lucas.

Not true, they did this already with Ep7.

Chappie. I had to leave the theater early to prevent any more brain damage.

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

I agree. It was Short Circuit meets District 9.

Any superhero movie since 2008.

The godfather movies.

I understand they influenced many other movies but they are just so fucking boring.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 14 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

Probably getting some hate for saying this, but…. The Dune movies are some of the worst big budget movies I’ve seen. They look nice and the cinematography is awesome but that movie feels so damn empty.

Yeah, I'd rather watch the Lynch version anytime, the new ones are like 6 hours of bland, boring choices and wooden performances.

That’s a rough one. Everyone ever loves it… I completely do not get it.

The Godfather. The characters are empty and hard to attach to, the sound is terrible, there's so much filler in the editting it becomes a chore as I watch yet another seemingly pointlessly extended shot or micro-scenes—Why?! What was the point?!—And yet I'm meant to feel something when this character I hardly know since about 10 mins ago gets killed?

If a film had an inflated ego...

I was gonna ask why so I could provide a counter argument, but then the question specifically asks for a movie you will never be convinced is good. So I won’t bother lol.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

I gave them an updoot for answering the question even though my personal opinion is that the two new Dune movies are top 10 movies of all time.

Nothing appeals to everyone, and I dislike a lot of critically acclaimed movies and other media because while they just don't resonate with me. Top Gun Maverick was a mediocre retread of so many movies that came before it that while it was well executed from a technical perspective, I found it forgettable and don't understand the hype.
