A Complete Unknown. It was very long, and I just found Bob and his life a bit boring. Apart from the music, of course.

I wanted to like it, but both my partner and myself were bored out of our minds watching it. Also what was that line… “I’m a BIPOC pangender”? Nobody has ever fucking talked like that.

End scene was fucking dope. That brought it up to a 6/10 for me.

Event horizon. It has a big following but I don't get the big horror. And the gore in the director's cut is more annoying than shocking. Maybe if it was the first space horror movie you watched

Thank you!! I'm a big horror buff, and the amount of praise this movie gets is utterly baffling to me.

The 2005 Elektra movie. It nearly killed Jennifer Garner's career! There's so much of that movie where I just have to wonder "What the fuck were they thinking?"

I am not an irritable person, but the ending of the whale Made me get up from my seat and yell "OH COME ON!" To the screen; Frustrating, corny , manipulative misery porn.

Here are a few I could just never get into.

Brazil, Godfather, Fight Club, Wizard of Oz, and Gone With The Wind

More of a genre than a particular movie, but any and all video game movies that aren't the 90s shitshow M•rio movie or the 3 live action Sonic films. I'm talking live action because there have clearly been good video games based animated films like... well I can't think of any right off hand, but they surely exist.

blade runner 2049. It's a crap story with crap acting and direction. The visuals are just bad. I have no idea why it's so liked.

"There Will be Blood" was one of the most drab, boring, washed out, and damn near unwatchable movies of all time, yet everyone claims it's a masterpiece. It's just a story of a man becoming richer than god, and going off the deep-end, culminating in a scene where his adopted kid tells him how much they hate him, and him murdering someone in a misguided fit of rage. None of the characters are relatable, redeeming or interesting. The script has like a grand total of 1000 words across the entire 2.5 hour run time, and none of it is particularly compelling. What a snooze fest.
