No country for old men.
A Christmas Story
Oh fuck I forgot to say Sonic, it baffles me how much these are loved when it strays pretty far from the games and filled with all these boring ass humans (sans. Robotnik)
Napoleon Dynamite too. I couldn't remember the name but google gave it to me in one when I searched "movie where nerd says gosh a lot".
Jurassic Park is the first one to spring to mind.Now I really regret making this topic.
It's a Wonderful Life
Jurassic Park is the first one to spring to mind.Everyone is entitled to their opinions... except you.
I can't speak for everyone, but as someone who grew up a Nintendo fanboy and didn't really like Sonic all that much, I think the fact that is wasn't 'traditional' Sonic probably played into its success. I'm a huge fan of Ducktales 2017, and it was a big plus for me that Ben Schwartz played Sonic pretty much identically to how he played Dewey Duck (a likeable, eager, yet insecure kid who's constantly in over his head, as opposed to the too-cool-for-school attitude machine I'd always assumed Sonic was). But honestly it was mostly Jim Carrey hamming it up as Robotnik that sold it.That's probably why it ain't for me, their not exactly bad films but being a generic "fish out of water" family flick just limits the potential for a story like this
Plus pretty much everyone criticized the boring-ass human subplot in the 2nd movie.
Forrest Gump
Now I really regret making this topic.
Why?I consider Jurassic Park one of the greatest movies ever made.

Okay. But why does it bother you so much if I dont share that opinion?Its hyperbole for a polite disagreement.
FWIW I dont mind the second one, but I really just dont get the fuss about the first one. I saw it in the cinema when it released and it was meant to be such a big deal and my brother and I both came out thinking, Thats what everybody has been raving about? Why?
Its hyperbole for a polite disagreement.
Wes Anderson movies.
Fair enough. Can never be sure on this forum.No problem.
Donnie DarkoOh fuck same here.
Ill start. Mad Max: Fury RoadIt was ok. I don't get why everyone loved it but it wasn't particularly disagreeable or anything.
GoodfellasIt was remarkably well made. The director did a great job; the actors did great jobs... I just couldn't figure out what the point of the story was. Like, who took this guy's biography and said "yeah, this is compelling and should be a movie."
People who think RotS is a genuinely good movie deserve nothing less than to live in the post-satire hellscape that they themselves helped create. Shame that the rest of us are stuck living here with them, though.*shrugs* It was certainly better than 1 or 2.
The Count of Monte Cristo (Jim Caviezel version).I haven't seen it, but as also a fan of the book, I can see absolutely no way whatsoever than you could ever cram that story into a single-sitting flick. Lord of the Rings got three, and people still whine that they left stuff out. And Monte Cristo is almost exactly as long, and needs every word.
as a fan of the book, I can't see how it's so liked, and it makes me feel like I'm the crazy one.
The J.J Abrams Star Trek movies.Those kinda got worse as they went. I loved 2009. Then Into Darkness was kinda like... uh... And then Beyond was just moronic.
I do not even acknowledge their existence.
People don't necessarily say it's good, but rather that it's the least bad of the prequel trilogy. It at least passes as a serviceable movie.
Find in page: The Princess Bride.oh yea, thanks for reminding me.

Good.
Close Encounters of the Third KindThat was another one where the production was good but there didn't seem to be a point to the story.
nolan. now i don't hate nolan, but i'm not high on him like most others. for some reason i feel like i'm watching concepts instead of stories with nolan. interstellar did work on me, though. i like that one.In accordance with protocol, I will now post the video.
That was another one where the production was good but there didn't seem to be a point to the story.Yeah, that was my main problem with Close Encounters. Well directed and pretty neat visually but the story doesn't really go anywhere.
"two chicks at the same time"Uh.
The Big Lebowski.
And the people that say they love it only quote three lines.
"there are rules"
"two chicks at the same time"
"the rug really put the room together"
Rogue One.My only major complaint with R1 was that one Vader scene. You know, the one where he talks.
I dont even dislike it, but Ill never understand the boner that people get for it. Its not that good, unless all you are about are cool action scenes (and I do love a good action scene, but when 95% of your characters are so bland that I dont give a shit about them, it makes the action less compelling).
It hits every check on the list of nerds who think theyre cinephiles use to dislike movies, but for whatever reason, this one gets a pass.
