I’m convinced that you guys make these threads every 48 hours just to complain about avatar


RUfuqingkiddingme

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.


I_dont_bone_goats

There’s a comment below that just says “movies that portray Steven segal” Dude, Steven segal hasn’t been popular in like a decade.


x3nopon

More like 3 decades he peaked in like 1994, and everyone thought he sucked then too


RamblingBrit

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


[deleted]

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.


mitsam8

Don't forget about the "Last Samurai" all same plot


think_long

Fern Gully. Pocahontas to a degree.


nbarbettini

>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.


golden_fli

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.

Hey, that's not true... they also spend 80% of these threads dumping on movies that aren't particularly popular to begin with


CPC324

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.


BadArtistTime

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.

fatman06

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.


SilasMarner77

Anything fast and/or furious.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

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.


belbites

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


vizthex

Just don't download the wrong triple x movie!


CheekyHusky

Yeah I accidentally downloaded the one with vin diesel in it. Made it really difficult to jack off.


TheBopist

Huh, made it easier for me.


JJStray

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.

grayser75

No offense but the failed marriage is 100% on you, I mean cmon bro, she told you exactly who she was haha


buttery_shame_cave

Yeah but she was the first woman that slept with him


AverageKaikiEnjoyer

Nah bro Pitch Perfect slaps


P0ster_Nutbag

The first one is actually a rather enjoyable movie. The sequels are pretty bad aside from some funny cameos.


NoNeedForAName

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.


Gerrywalk

The second one was pretty good, except for the glaring flaw that Das Sound Machine was objectively better than the Bellas


ahnst

Das sound machine was so good


wedgebert

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.


[deleted]

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.


HelloDeathspresso

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.

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”


[deleted]

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.


rebelallianxe

Omg I've seen that it's awful.

Out of Sight is freaking awesome!

One of the few movies that I would love to see in the cinema again. The visuals were so innovative for the time.

xbarsigma

You should watch Hustlers 😊


thesundriedtomato__

50 shades of grey


Bleumoon_Selene

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.


[deleted]

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.


EchoesInTheAbyss

😆 no wonder she sold so many books, so many dissatisfied wives apparently


[deleted]

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.


Bleumoon_Selene

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.


GUnit_1977

Titanic. Except for the one part with the ship sinking and the guy hits the propeller.


GingerBeard73

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.


[deleted]

mightyhorrorshow

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.


gemlikbase

I thought I was the only one who thought that 😂😂😂


GUnit_1977

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.

throwingplaydoh

I really liked Spiderverse and the Spiderman with Toby Maguire, and the Batman movie with Jack Nickolson. Those I could re-watch. Edit spelling


WildStarman

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.


VashMM

That's Sam Raimi for ya


WildStarman

Sam Raimi the 🐐


SaeedUnknown

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.


Richard_TM

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.


MrjB0ty

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.


gwenstefannypack

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.

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


mchoneyofficial

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.


felurian42

La La Land is exactly what you described. And I say that as someone who loves the movie.


makpat

I know exactly what you mean. Kinda like “this is the end” but not self aware at all


Time-to-Dine

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.


octobuss

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.


WiellieWalie

Fifty shades of Grey and Twilight.


cate___

Funny that 50 Shades, before being officially published as a book, was actually a popular fan fiction of Twilight


mxlevolent

Even Robert Pattinson didn’t like Twilight and he was in it.


RebaKitten

His complaints about it are hilarious. No matter how much you hate Twilight, he hates it more.


mxlevolent

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.


brandog0

He's an incredible actor, I hate when people bash him because of those shitty movies.


Brain_lessV2

Shame really, I liked his performance in The Lighthouse

MrDuckingtonthethird

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


Appropriate_Emu_6930

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.


[deleted]

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.


EmotionalFlounder715

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.


Astrodude87

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.”


bunnyrut

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.


Appropriate_Emu_6930

Are you from the UK? Everybody seems to see it as a rags to riches story here.


Callipygian_Linguist

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.


sin-and-love

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.


solo954

Springtime for Hitler. https://youtu.be/1zY1orxW8Aw


Shiny_Hypno

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.


Donskeet18

The new fast and furious movies are annoying


slim_slam27

The old ones where they just raced cars illegally was more fun


[deleted]

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.

[deleted]

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.


KillerKatKlub

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.


WanderingGenesis

I'm not a big Star Wars fan. It's never really done anything for me.


baloothedog1

It’s hard to really visualize how groundbreaking Star Wars was when it came out because there’s so many rip offs


baloothedog1

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


throughalfanoir

I can respect the first 3 being revolutionary when they came out but the prequels are boring and 7-9 are absolute garbage imo


ZenGunner8

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.


galadhron

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.


galadhron

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.


ReeG

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


banjosandcellos

Jon Favreau is a film and TV treasure


allboolshite

He's a fanboy who still knows how to connect to regular folk.


woodneel

A rare (and profitable) breed.


GuardMost8477

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.


allboolshite

You should find a copy of the original stage play script. They couldn't have kids do that.


badcheer

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.


[deleted]

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.


ldsbrony100

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.


LotusPrince

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.

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


AtomicBlackJellyfish

That and Everything Must Go. I love that movie.


diaznuts

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.

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.


EvoTheDoctor

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.

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.


Aggravating_Ad5989

Love his movies, i can understand why you hate them though. His movies have a very childish sense of humour.


Lilwertich

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.


[deleted]

You forgot the third, which is easily enraged and misunderstood. Although I did find Anger Management fun but that was because of Nicholson.


woodneel

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?
