Forums - Movies & TV - Critically Acclaimed Movies that You Hate

Pulp Fiction, found it boring and predictable. Seem to be one of a very few people who dislike that one though.



Around the Network

Dark Knight Rises. Just an anti-climatic ending to an excellent trilogy.

The Social Newtwok... Holy shit, it's just boring.

Avatar. I don't hate it. I just don't think it's THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME like so many people claimed upon it's release. No wonder the sequels are taking so long. How do you follow up on that level of hype?

I cant stand the newer Fast and Furious movies 5,6 and 7 I dont like how they got so over the top and the characters are just able to handle every situation.

I wouldn't say the Fast and Furious movies are necessarily critically acclaimed, but I would say they don't deserve the "fresh" ratings they do have.



Tree of Life. Jesus, that was a boring experience.

Mad Max: Fury Road. Most boring movie I've ever seen, but apparently critics liked it.

From a visual standpoint it was top notch, but yeah there was virtually nothing when it came to story/substance. Kinda the equivilent of a lot of modern AAA games..

1-   Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I hated this movie to the guts.

2-  Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises.  Theses ones I didnt hate per se, but I didnt like them either.

3-  Pulp Fiction.   I need to re-watch this one again as I was too young when I first watched it.

4-  Now, there are two movies that I totally hated, but it was just because they left me depressed as fuck.  But I totally understand why critics loved them and if I had to rate them, I would give a 9/10 to both of them.  But I would never watch them again.

They are:  Requiem for a Dream and Dancer in the Dark

Not just that, 2001, City of god, Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Strangelove are all amazing movies. But you do have me curious what kind of movies are your favorites.



I don't hate those. Just don't like as much as other people.

Frozen and most of the new "cartoons"
Super Heroes (especially Marvel) movies
SW Episode VII

I miss the days of Disney making actual hand drawn animated movies. Now, it's all CG... And even if they look visually impressive from a design point of view, the magic and merit isn't quite the same.

Gravity - Bang average movie never got the hype

Cabin in the Woods - It seems that anything you do to spice up the horror genre does really well with critics even if the premise is totally bollocks

Babadook - Again. quite a let down

Most superhero movies with 80+ on rotten - Apart from a very few, they all are just boring now. Sooner or later people will stop going



It's mainly the Marvel ones. It seems like when DC came out with movies, it made fans in the press double down on Marvel to the point where they can do no wrong now. That's why I'm genuinely shocked at the Iron Fist reviews. Doctor Strange was merely an OK movie. The DC ones aren't good (I liked MoS though), but, they're appropriately polarizing like comic books tend to be. Marvel movies get a pass as if it's dutiful to do so now and it's made them formulaic, now they're getting too over-extended.
