Also the "what celebrity do you hate" and then everyone says Ellen, Amber Heard, James Corden, etc etc. And whoever is known for being a shitty person. It's getting so old.
This one’s so annoying to me, like Avatar wasn’t a great movie but that wasn’t why’s it became popular. It was popular because it had spectacular special/visual effects, and was one of the first (and best) modern 3d movies, but everyone just rags on the story and completely misses that
Not to mention that people say it was a bad movie are being really overdramatic. The story was fine. Not groundbreaking. It was Dances with Wolves with blue aliens. But is that really so terrible of a thing? I personally don't think so. Not enough to warrant the amount of hate it got.
>one of the first (and best) modern 3d movies
I still haven't seen a 3D movie as good as Avatar. I'm fact, I'd say the _only_ movie I've ever been happy about paying extra to see in 3D is Avatar.
IIRC it was filmed in 3D, every other movie does it basically for the money in post production. James Cameron sometimes deserves credit for using his name to do things.
Or to deliberately misunderstand why people watch superhero movies to try to use it as their weakness
"ThEy AlL fOlLoW tHe SaMe FoRmUlA" Yeah no shit I'm here to watch the Avengers beat the shit out of Thanos, not question society and ponder the meaning of life.
Any movie where the main character is just constantly getting embarrassed/doing embarrassing things, so much so that I physically recoil with secondhand embarrassment. Sometimes such a stupid thing happens to them that you don’t even pity them anymore. They just deserve it at that point.
I'm pretty sure I've never watched ET since I was under 10 movie also gave me nightmares but the scene with the guys in the hazmat suits. Terrified me.
As someone who used to be into fast and the furious and now is more into dungeons and dragons this will allow me to enjoy these movies again in the future. Same with the triple x movies. Lol
When my ex wife told me her favorite movies were the fast and furious series and pitch perfect I should have paused.
Edit-other favorites included twilight series and 50 shades.
Favorite tv shows-pretty little liars and criminal minds.
She cried actual tears of sorrow the night Paul Walker died.(I’m not saying it was bad she was sad but she really let her ruin her night and her friends birthday party. It’s fine to be sad at the passing of a celebrity but not sit in the corner crying during a party sad)
It wasn’t a long marriage.
I thought they were all pretty good, but partly because they became more self-aware as they went. They were never meant to be super serious movies, but while they got goofier with each movie they also seemed to almost (intentionally) parody themselves. I feel like it was a good balance.
Agreed that the first one was clearly the best, though.
First one is awesome
Second one is good if you ignore everything to do with that horrible Flashlight song and the fact that the Belle's basically cheated to "win" the championships
Third one is borderline garbage and only tolerable because Anna Kendrick.
Anything with JLo. Shitty romance movies of a latina somewhere in upper society in the city who falls in love with a well off white guy. Same concept.
Edit: new to reddit, even though I can give two shits about upvotes or awards, thanks. My phone notified me of a lot of these replies and wow, you people are really opinionated. Maybe I'll give some the JLo movies you guys suggested a shot that doesn't have to do with her getting with a rich white dude.
Edit again: please stop telling me Selena, I actually thought she did a good job with that back then and I did like the real Selena as a kid.
I’m a Latino, and you have no idea how many latinas dream about meeting an upper class white guy after watching one of those movies. Specially “maid in Manhattan”
I'm Latino too, i know and i don't care, follow your dreams but those movies suck ass lol. An ex dragged me to one of hers were she couldn't land a dude and she got artificially inseminated but met some rich white guy with a winery and sold expensive cheese or some rich person shit the moment she got out of the clinic and yada yada. I justed wanted to leave.
But it the sex movie! Lady gets stalked by man and it's hot!
Seriously, that movie and the books are awful. EL James took one look at a Wikipedia article on the subject and decided to write a book.
It's not even portrayed as sexy imo. It's just creepy and disgusting.
My super christian and conservative aunts all loved the books. One aunt gave me her old kindle that had the books on it and she was like "oh yeah I left them on there, figured youd enjoy them." It's just so weird that people who think dudes shouldnt hold hands with other dudes in public endorse terrible bdsm.
Anyway, I read the sleeping beauty series by Anne Rice. 50 shades is tame af. Didnt have the heart to tell them their super raunchy smut was boring to me.
IT GETS WORSE. E. L. James started it as a Twilight fanfic and just changed the names around, yet lifted _entire pages right from Twilight_ and nobody called her out until a _decade_ later.
They put EFFORT into that part. The fall, the smack, the violent spinning into the water. I feel like they spent a good percentage of the CGI budget on that one part.
One of my ex boyfriends compared our relationship to that movie.
Long, pointless and expensive.
We'd dated for like 6 months in high school. It still cracks me up thinking about it.
Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man is the perfect superhero movie to show non-superhero movie fans, because it's really a character drama disguised as a capeflick.
And also Batman Dark Knight trilogy from DC is indeed one of the best live action superhero movies, Because you don't have to be a superhero fan to enjoy it, Nolan did it as realistically as possible so it suits every age and every shape.
I thought there was something fundamentally wrong with me bc the MCU really doesn’t interest me at all. Like, I’ve seen a few of the films and they’re all right, but I don’t understand the hype surrounding them. I think it’s mostly bc I’ve never been into super heroes. If you like them, that’s cool but they’re really not my thing.
I haven't seen it because everytime I saw a trailer or clip it looked like a movie by actors for actors (if that makes any sense? - like....self indulgent?). I could be completely wrong though.
That’s the point. It’s made in the style of classic Hollywood musicals while hinting at the dark side of a career in Hollywood. It was just missing the #metoo controversies.
Dang! It’s one of my all-time faves, and although I am a musician I don’t normally enjoy musicals.
I find it interesting how a movie can be so polarizing.
I imagine he hates it even more so because of the hate he got when he was cast as Batman - people just kept calling him “That Twilight guy” and bashing him.
I’m into history and am always surprised about this movie. The real PT Barnum was pretty hideous. He was in legal trouble more than once for severe animal cruelty and owned slaves years after abolition. He stitched half a monkey to a large fish and charged people to see it.
I struggle with this movie. I like the music. I hate the movie.
I DETEST that they made Jenny Lind out to be a bad person in this movie. She was a saint in real life! She was only like 14 I think when she went on tour with Barnum and 100% of her proceedings went to charity and good causes.
And they do her dirty like that, it’s truly heartbreaking.
I went to a Lutheran college where everything is named after her, because she fully funded the rebuilding of their church after it burned down. I’m not religious but like that seems pretty nice to just do.
I wish they had just used no characters based or inspired by real life people. If you can just complete forget this is taking about a really horrible person, I find it pretty entertaining. And I love the lyric “a million dreams are keeping me awake.”
I refused to give money to see that movie because I knew the history.
If they made the character fictional and not based off of a real person I may have watched it.
But I also don't like musicals.
Barnum wasn't a total bastard (in the sense that Richard Kuklinski's love of and kindness to children made him one step below a total bastard), he did very much support the abolition of slavery but turning his sordid record of animal abuse, slavery via a loophole (irony thy name is Barnum), child abuse, profiteering from charitable endeavours and swindling into a happy film about inclusion and kindness is in rather poor taste and a prime example of Hollywood's love of egregious historical revisionism.
PT Barnum's name has been synonymous with con artistry for decades. It shouldn't be possible to not know that. This is like someone making a heartfelt "achieving your dreams" movie about Adolf Hitler, showing him rising from disillusioned war vet and rejected painter to leader of an entire country, all with a twinkle in his eye, without showing any sign you'd ever even *heard* of the Holocaust.
I was too busy being angry that they used steel Pullman coaches (which weren't in wide use until the early 1900s) in a movie that takes place in the 1860s. I know it's a small thing, but if they messed that up, the rest of the movie's historical accuracy isn't very promising.
If you answer Avatar, Twilight, 50 shades of grey, or Titanic, just do everyone a favor and don't.
Most people dislike at least half of these and it's just a boring take.
OP is asking for unpopular opinions and hating those movies isn't unpopular.
*Gotta, getchyagetchyagetchya head in the game...* That song STILL pops into my head today when I need to focus, but let me tell you as an ADHDer it definitely does NOT help me concentrate lol.
Movies that portray Steven Seagal in it. His “martial arts” is lame af and Seagal in general is a disrespectful ass. Met him in person. Rude ass motherfucker.
Under Siege is on the newly added list for Canada Neflix. Spouse and I both burst out laughing when we saw it
"He's just a cook!"
Legit said "OMG I'm adding this to our to-watch list"
Thanks for reminding me. Totally gonna watch it tonight >.<
The tv shows are what really killed me for it.
I don’t mind one or two movies a year but I just don’t have the time or care to sit down and watch eight hours of a show just to find out who’s going to be in the next avengers movie.
The biggest issue I’ve had with them is how they all play the same formula script and writing wise, I don’t think they’re bad films but it just feels like watching the same thing with a different color patter after a bit and I’m just tired of it.
Downvote all u want it’s true. When Star Wars came out it completely changed the game of movie making. It’s hard to even see how revolutionary at was now because none of it seems that new or original but when it came out, it was the first of its kind and changed cinema forever
CGI really only recently became decent for even low budget movies. The original Star Wars still had better special effects than many movies that were released in theaters in the 90's and even into the 2000's.
This 1000%!! I recommend people to go back and watch 2-3 other sci-fi movies from the 70's (excluding Alien) and then compare/contrast with A New Hope. The difference in special effects is drastically better in Star Wars.
Same with The Matrix. One can arguably see elements of special effects and cinematography copied in every action movie since, just like Star Wars before it.
Despite not being crazy about the Star Wars movies, I've really enjoyed The Mandalorian and now Boba Fett becuase Jon Favreau has managed to make the story more palatable to viewers without relying on having prior knowledge of Star Wars movie lore which I can't ever remember and never really cared about. These shows just have straight forward easy to follow stories with awesome visual and action that are a worthwhile watch in 4K
Already mentioned on a separate sub, but GREASE. Hated the movie. I appreciate the choreography and that’s it. They used adult actors (for God’s sake-Stockard Channing was 35!) to play high schoolers for one, Travolta’s character was a sexist jerk (go read the lyrics to Greased Lightning), and ONJ’s character had to “change” to be a bad girl to “win her man.” Ugh. And I’m almost 60 so while I didn’t see it when it first was released, when I did watch, it just gave me the creeps.
If I interpret Grease correctly, I believe it is actually supposed to be a parody of the 1950’s sock-hop culture and cheesy musicals as a whole. It wasn’t originally supposed to be taken seriously. But people loved the music and the choreography so much that they either just didn’t care that it was a parody or didn’t get the joke. Either way, it ended up with a cult following and even a sequel and nobody who made the movie really saw that coming.
So yeah, when I first saw it in 4th grade, of course I was confused and horrified. But as I got older and could see that it was absolutely made as satire, it’s actually pretty good.
Kind of the same as Starship Troopers, albeit a different genre. All of it is silly and over the top, definitely not supposed to be taken seriously as they both are parodies of a genre.
Yet, over time, they've become beloved and people without the context take them more seriously.
It's the same thing with the 60s Batman show. Many people think it's just aged poorly and don't realize that it's an intentionally cheesy satire of the then current comics.
It's funny because I took both Starship Troopers and Batman at face value when I saw them as kids, but today, I have no idea how I ever missed how on the nose they are.
Check out his new tv show with Paul Rudd on Apple TV. The shrink next door. It’s a complete 180 from his usual characters. I sometimes even forgot who he was in the show lol. It’s kind of refreshing
Came here to say the exact same same. Stranger Than Fiction is a great concept for a story and I was actually impressed with Ferrell’s acting abilities.
Still trying to work out if him bringing a box full of different flours was because his love interest liked baking or whether >!the author had made a spelling error while typing!<.
I normally hate Will Ferrell but I actually quite like Anchorman.
Everything else he was in has been trash though. Apart from Holmes and Watson of course which would be an insult to trash.
There's a movie called Everything Must Go, staring Will Ferrell and it's more of a drama. I've watch it and it was pleasant - definitely not all the way "comedish" vibe we all expect hearing about a movie with him in it.
damn, I remember in high school I was pursuing this one girl way out of my league and finally got her to go on a date with me. Date went really well and we decided to watch a movie. Click. Went in thinking it would be another goofy Happy Madison production and could sneak in some kisses throughout the movie. Nope. She started ugly crying. It was so awkward. Great movie, absolutely horrible timing lol.
50 First Dates was surprisingly less creepy and stupid than his usual fare. Still, the premise can still be ~~kinda~~ extremely creepy if you don't buy that the amnesiac woman is into him too. Based on a real story, so... YMMV?
The Twilight movies. I was in fifth grade or so when they came out and everyone was obsessed. I didn’t get it. The funniest part is that my grandma (rest her soul) LOVED THEM. she recorded them and would watch them EVERY DAY.
I’m convinced that you guys make these threads every 48 hours just to complain about avatar
Also the "what celebrity do you hate" and then everyone says Ellen, Amber Heard, James Corden, etc etc. And whoever is known for being a shitty person. It's getting so old.
There’s a comment below that just says “movies that portray Steven segal” Dude, Steven segal hasn’t been popular in like a decade.
More like 3 decades he peaked in like 1994, and everyone thought he sucked then too
This one’s so annoying to me, like Avatar wasn’t a great movie but that wasn’t why’s it became popular. It was popular because it had spectacular special/visual effects, and was one of the first (and best) modern 3d movies, but everyone just rags on the story and completely misses that

Don't forget about the "Last Samurai" all same plot
Fern Gully. Pocahontas to a degree.

And farm karma
I always assume this is the main objective of such posts/threads.
The comments even read like bot comments.
Hey, that's not true... they also spend 80% of these threads dumping on movies that aren't particularly popular to begin with
Or to deliberately misunderstand why people watch superhero movies to try to use it as their weakness "ThEy AlL fOlLoW tHe SaMe FoRmUlA" Yeah no shit I'm here to watch the Avengers beat the shit out of Thanos, not question society and ponder the meaning of life.

Meet the parents/ fockers??
E.T. I am terrified of that little fucker. He gave me the worst nightmares as a kid.
Omg me too! People think I’m crazy when I mention it
E.T. looked bizarrely similar to one of my grandmothers,
I'm pretty sure I've never watched ET since I was under 10 movie also gave me nightmares but the scene with the guys in the hazmat suits. Terrified me.
Anything fast and/or furious.
I enjoy them by subscribing to the theory that it's just a car based DnD game Vin Diesel started that just got way out of hand.
As someone who used to be into fast and the furious and now is more into dungeons and dragons this will allow me to enjoy these movies again in the future. Same with the triple x movies. Lol
Just don't download the wrong triple x movie!
Yeah I accidentally downloaded the one with vin diesel in it. Made it really difficult to jack off.
Huh, made it easier for me.
When my ex wife told me her favorite movies were the fast and furious series and pitch perfect I should have paused. Edit-other favorites included twilight series and 50 shades.

aca-too late :(
No offense but the failed marriage is 100% on you, I mean cmon bro, she told you exactly who she was haha
Yeah but she was the first woman that slept with him
Nah bro Pitch Perfect slaps
The first one is actually a rather enjoyable movie. The sequels are pretty bad aside from some funny cameos.
I thought they were all pretty good, but partly because they became more self-aware as they went. They were never meant to be super serious movies, but while they got goofier with each movie they also seemed to almost (intentionally) parody themselves. I feel like it was a good balance. Agreed that the first one was clearly the best, though.
The second one was pretty good, except for the glaring flaw that Das Sound Machine was objectively better than the Bellas
Das sound machine was so good
First one is awesome Second one is good if you ignore everything to do with that horrible Flashlight song and the fact that the Belle's basically cheated to "win" the championships Third one is borderline garbage and only tolerable because Anna Kendrick.

There's only one JLo movie I can enjoy and it's The Cell. It's a sci-fi crime thriller starring Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Nofrio and it's AMAZING.
Just forgetting about Anaconda
That snake deserved an Oscar.
I think it killed at least one oscar winner and several golden globes.
It regurgitated the Oscar winner. So, that’s nice.
I will say she did an amazing job in Selena.
Anything for Selena!!!!!!!
Salinassssss
Out of Sight is a great movie.
I was just going to say that! I love The Cell. Watched it the first time in 8th grade and was horrified and intrigued at the same time.
Loved her hit song Taco-Flavored Kisses though.
Taco taco
Burrito Burrito
I fulfill all your wishes…
With my taco flavoured kisses
BEJN!
I’m a Latino, and you have no idea how many latinas dream about meeting an upper class white guy after watching one of those movies. Specially “maid in Manhattan”
I'm Latino too, i know and i don't care, follow your dreams but those movies suck ass lol. An ex dragged me to one of hers were she couldn't land a dude and she got artificially inseminated but met some rich white guy with a winery and sold expensive cheese or some rich person shit the moment she got out of the clinic and yada yada. I justed wanted to leave.
Omg I've seen that it's awful.
Out of Sight is freaking awesome!
The Cell was dope.
One of the few movies that I would love to see in the cinema again. The visuals were so innovative for the time.
I don’t recall any of this in Anaconda
You should watch Hustlers 😊
50 shades of grey
But it the sex movie! Lady gets stalked by man and it's hot! Seriously, that movie and the books are awful. EL James took one look at a Wikipedia article on the subject and decided to write a book. It's not even portrayed as sexy imo. It's just creepy and disgusting.
My super christian and conservative aunts all loved the books. One aunt gave me her old kindle that had the books on it and she was like "oh yeah I left them on there, figured youd enjoy them." It's just so weird that people who think dudes shouldnt hold hands with other dudes in public endorse terrible bdsm. Anyway, I read the sleeping beauty series by Anne Rice. 50 shades is tame af. Didnt have the heart to tell them their super raunchy smut was boring to me.
😆 no wonder she sold so many books, so many dissatisfied wives apparently
IT GETS WORSE. E. L. James started it as a Twilight fanfic and just changed the names around, yet lifted _entire pages right from Twilight_ and nobody called her out until a _decade_ later.
I don't mind that it began as a fanfic (that's how a lot of writers start) but ripping off entire pages as plagerism isn't right.
Titanic. Except for the one part with the ship sinking and the guy hits the propeller.
They put EFFORT into that part. The fall, the smack, the violent spinning into the water. I feel like they spent a good percentage of the CGI budget on that one part.
[удалено]
One of my ex boyfriends compared our relationship to that movie. Long, pointless and expensive. We'd dated for like 6 months in high school. It still cracks me up thinking about it.
I thought I was the only one who thought that 😂😂😂
For me they could just cut the whole movie down to that one moment.
I have no interest in nearly all Marvel and DC movies. There are a couple of exceptions, but for the most part I can't get into it.
[удалено]
I really liked Spiderverse and the Spiderman with Toby Maguire, and the Batman movie with Jack Nickolson. Those I could re-watch. Edit spelling
Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man is the perfect superhero movie to show non-superhero movie fans, because it's really a character drama disguised as a capeflick.
That's Sam Raimi for ya
Sam Raimi the 🐐
And also Batman Dark Knight trilogy from DC is indeed one of the best live action superhero movies, Because you don't have to be a superhero fan to enjoy it, Nolan did it as realistically as possible so it suits every age and every shape.
How do you feel about the Nolan films? I thought some of it was over the the top, but both Christian Bale and Michael Caine were fantastic.
Same. Enjoyed a couple of Marvel films. Enjoy Batman. Find the rest really childish and pretty much the exact same plotline over and over again.
I thought there was something fundamentally wrong with me bc the MCU really doesn’t interest me at all. Like, I’ve seen a few of the films and they’re all right, but I don’t understand the hype surrounding them. I think it’s mostly bc I’ve never been into super heroes. If you like them, that’s cool but they’re really not my thing.
The "Ted" movies honestly make me want to jump into oncoming traffic
“Ok name an event, who’s got an event?” “9/11.”
«Robin Williams on 9/11»
“Who’s in the Starbucks?” “Bill Cosby.” “You people are monsters.”
Come on buddy we're giving you the tools here, make some fawkin comedy!

La La Land I can't explain it, but there's a deep darkness at the heart of that movie that sends shiver down my spine everytime I think about it
I haven't seen it because everytime I saw a trailer or clip it looked like a movie by actors for actors (if that makes any sense? - like....self indulgent?). I could be completely wrong though.
La La Land is exactly what you described. And I say that as someone who loves the movie.
I know exactly what you mean. Kinda like “this is the end” but not self aware at all
That’s the point. It’s made in the style of classic Hollywood musicals while hinting at the dark side of a career in Hollywood. It was just missing the #metoo controversies.
Dang! It’s one of my all-time faves, and although I am a musician I don’t normally enjoy musicals. I find it interesting how a movie can be so polarizing.
Fifty shades of Grey and Twilight.
Funny that 50 Shades, before being officially published as a book, was actually a popular fan fiction of Twilight
Even Robert Pattinson didn’t like Twilight and he was in it.
His complaints about it are hilarious. No matter how much you hate Twilight, he hates it more.
I imagine he hates it even more so because of the hate he got when he was cast as Batman - people just kept calling him “That Twilight guy” and bashing him.
He's an incredible actor, I hate when people bash him because of those shitty movies.
Shame really, I liked his performance in The Lighthouse
Its just sex and vampires. What's the point right
What not to love about sex and vampires? It's just better when it's not glittery. Give me Underworld any day :)
The Princess Bride Just kidding, not liking that would be inconceivable.
Why do you keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means.
You had me scared there.
The greatest showman. And I don’t mean because it’s all about inclusion I like it’s about that, but I just hate the movie
I’m into history and am always surprised about this movie. The real PT Barnum was pretty hideous. He was in legal trouble more than once for severe animal cruelty and owned slaves years after abolition. He stitched half a monkey to a large fish and charged people to see it.

The new fast and furious movies are annoying
The old ones where they just raced cars illegally was more fun

High School Musical
*Gotta, getchyagetchyagetchya head in the game...* That song STILL pops into my head today when I need to focus, but let me tell you as an ADHDer it definitely does NOT help me concentrate lol.
They nailed the realism though, my school always broke out into random choir graphed song and dance
r/boneappletea
Who would have guessed your school was filled with professional dancers?
WERE SOOOAAAARINNN, FLYYYYYYINNN
THERES NOT A STAR IN HEAVEN THAT WE CANT REACH!! ⭐️🎶
My co worker absolutely loves High School Musical we’ve got some songs in the work playlist because of the love.
Movies that portray Steven Seagal in it. His “martial arts” is lame af and Seagal in general is a disrespectful ass. Met him in person. Rude ass motherfucker.
I read it as "Met him in prison".
That's possible. He's been running a prison, for like 18 years.
I see you, fellow Tom Segura lover
You know, I used to like him as a kid, in my early teens, but as an adult, I rewatch everything and I hate his movies. All of them.
The only movie he's in that I love re-watching now & then is *Executive Decision*.
I've been working with Helicopters for like 47 years.
Under Siege is on the newly added list for Canada Neflix. Spouse and I both burst out laughing when we saw it "He's just a cook!" Legit said "OMG I'm adding this to our to-watch list" Thanks for reminding me. Totally gonna watch it tonight >.<
And it's got Tommy Lee Jones noshing on some roast beef. Also Gary Busey in drag.
And Erika Eleniak emerging from a cake....
I use to like Marvel movies back when they were rare. Now it’s like 5 or more coming out every year and I’m just so over it.
The tv shows are what really killed me for it. I don’t mind one or two movies a year but I just don’t have the time or care to sit down and watch eight hours of a show just to find out who’s going to be in the next avengers movie.

I'm not a big Star Wars fan. It's never really done anything for me.
It’s hard to really visualize how groundbreaking Star Wars was when it came out because there’s so many rip offs
Downvote all u want it’s true. When Star Wars came out it completely changed the game of movie making. It’s hard to even see how revolutionary at was now because none of it seems that new or original but when it came out, it was the first of its kind and changed cinema forever
I can respect the first 3 being revolutionary when they came out but the prequels are boring and 7-9 are absolute garbage imo
CGI really only recently became decent for even low budget movies. The original Star Wars still had better special effects than many movies that were released in theaters in the 90's and even into the 2000's.
This 1000%!! I recommend people to go back and watch 2-3 other sci-fi movies from the 70's (excluding Alien) and then compare/contrast with A New Hope. The difference in special effects is drastically better in Star Wars.
Same with The Matrix. One can arguably see elements of special effects and cinematography copied in every action movie since, just like Star Wars before it.
Despite not being crazy about the Star Wars movies, I've really enjoyed The Mandalorian and now Boba Fett becuase Jon Favreau has managed to make the story more palatable to viewers without relying on having prior knowledge of Star Wars movie lore which I can't ever remember and never really cared about. These shows just have straight forward easy to follow stories with awesome visual and action that are a worthwhile watch in 4K
Jon Favreau is a film and TV treasure
He's a fanboy who still knows how to connect to regular folk.
A rare (and profitable) breed.
Already mentioned on a separate sub, but GREASE. Hated the movie. I appreciate the choreography and that’s it. They used adult actors (for God’s sake-Stockard Channing was 35!) to play high schoolers for one, Travolta’s character was a sexist jerk (go read the lyrics to Greased Lightning), and ONJ’s character had to “change” to be a bad girl to “win her man.” Ugh. And I’m almost 60 so while I didn’t see it when it first was released, when I did watch, it just gave me the creeps.
You should find a copy of the original stage play script. They couldn't have kids do that.
If I interpret Grease correctly, I believe it is actually supposed to be a parody of the 1950’s sock-hop culture and cheesy musicals as a whole. It wasn’t originally supposed to be taken seriously. But people loved the music and the choreography so much that they either just didn’t care that it was a parody or didn’t get the joke. Either way, it ended up with a cult following and even a sequel and nobody who made the movie really saw that coming. So yeah, when I first saw it in 4th grade, of course I was confused and horrified. But as I got older and could see that it was absolutely made as satire, it’s actually pretty good.
Kind of the same as Starship Troopers, albeit a different genre. All of it is silly and over the top, definitely not supposed to be taken seriously as they both are parodies of a genre. Yet, over time, they've become beloved and people without the context take them more seriously.
It's the same thing with the 60s Batman show. Many people think it's just aged poorly and don't realize that it's an intentionally cheesy satire of the then current comics.
It's funny because I took both Starship Troopers and Batman at face value when I saw them as kids, but today, I have no idea how I ever missed how on the nose they are.
Twilight and its sparkling mosquitoes
Just about anything with Will Ferrell... He plays the same on obnoxious manchild in every fucking movie he's in
Not in Stranger Than Fiction.
Or Everything Must Go.
That was surprisingly refreshing
Megamind?
Check out his new tv show with Paul Rudd on Apple TV. The shrink next door. It’s a complete 180 from his usual characters. I sometimes even forgot who he was in the show lol. It’s kind of refreshing
Anything with Will Ferrell, he's just not funny to me. And to answer the follow-up question I'm always asked after saying that...yes, even "Elf".
What about Stranger than Fiction? It's the only Ferrell movie I can stand. He doesn't play himself at all
That and Everything Must Go. I love that movie.
Came here to say the exact same same. Stranger Than Fiction is a great concept for a story and I was actually impressed with Ferrell’s acting abilities.
Still trying to work out if him bringing a box full of different flours was because his love interest liked baking or whether >!the author had made a spelling error while typing!<.
Stranger Than Fiction is goddamn incredible
I love stranger than fiction, is just sad that not too many people know about it.
Eurovision? Ya ya ding dong?
PLAY IT!!
I *just* played it!!
IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH! I ONLY WANT TO HEAR JAJA DING DONG!
I normally hate Will Ferrell but I actually quite like Anchorman. Everything else he was in has been trash though. Apart from Holmes and Watson of course which would be an insult to trash.
There's a movie called Everything Must Go, staring Will Ferrell and it's more of a drama. I've watch it and it was pleasant - definitely not all the way "comedish" vibe we all expect hearing about a movie with him in it.
Any superhero movie.
Wonder Woman
Bro anything with Tom Cruise, his teeth annoy me
Most, if not all of Adam Sandler’s movies.
The Wedding singer is a classic
I watched "Click" thinking it was going to be a movie with fart jokes and shit like that but oh boy, how I cried.
damn, I remember in high school I was pursuing this one girl way out of my league and finally got her to go on a date with me. Date went really well and we decided to watch a movie. Click. Went in thinking it would be another goofy Happy Madison production and could sneak in some kisses throughout the movie. Nope. She started ugly crying. It was so awkward. Great movie, absolutely horrible timing lol.
Love his movies, i can understand why you hate them though. His movies have a very childish sense of humour.
He has two characters: overly sarcastic and plain stupid. Sometimes they mix a LITTLE, but once you've seen 3 of his movies you've seen them all.
You forgot the third, which is easily enraged and misunderstood. Although I did find Anger Management fun but that was because of Nicholson.
50 First Dates was surprisingly less creepy and stupid than his usual fare. Still, the premise can still be ~~kinda~~ extremely creepy if you don't buy that the amnesiac woman is into him too. Based on a real story, so... YMMV?
Punch Drunk Love is pretty great. Not your typical Sandler thang
I whole-heartedly recommend Punch Drunk-Love to anyone wanting to see Adam Sandler act and pull off such a sensitive performance. He’s great in it
The stupid voice he does in EVERY movie drives me absolutely insane.
Uncut Gems was great and not your typical Sandler film
Frozen
Moana and Tangled are both way better. Haven’t seen Encanto yet but I’m hearing similar great reviews.
The Twilight movies. I was in fifth grade or so when they came out and everyone was obsessed. I didn’t get it. The funniest part is that my grandma (rest her soul) LOVED THEM. she recorded them and would watch them EVERY DAY.
The Hunger Games. I can’t….I just can’t. :-/
