Earrings of Madame De…
Boring people talking about themselves.
“Kill Bill” — I think it’s just crap, despite the critics.
I’m gonna second Marcelo Reis. I absolutely hated “Kill Bill” as well.
I hate juno. Burn the negative.
Juno and Little Miss Sunshine-Not horrible movies but mediocre-way overrated at best-the sort of movie geared to please the folks at Sundance.
Weeked-pseudo intellectual claptrap geared to please the folks looking for deeper meanings in everything.
‘Titanic.’ What a bloated mess. I will actually take ‘A Night to Remember’ over ‘Titanic’, just because the film has more dignity.
Instead of using such an opportunity to tell the sad story of the ship, we get this inane love story.
What really offends me about the fim is the way the sinking is protrayed, with the camera doing the ‘joyride’ down with the stern of the ship.
Techno-showoffishness that ultimately is disrespectful to the suffering of those on-board.
The Dark Knight – It lacked any kind of fantasy / comic book element and was basically a gangster film with flamboyant costumes and big bangs. Heath Ledger was okay but did not really bring anything to the role that anyone else could have brought. Very disapointing after the excellent Batman Begins.
I also do not understand the love for Juno, there was nothing special about it.
Paul Haggis’ Crash is truly an awful film. One of many that the Acadummy has honored while ignoring many truly great films. The Academy Awards have absolutely no credibility when it comes to honoring film.
Into the Wild
a waste of 3 hours of my time. I was insulted by the movie’s self rightous posturing and pretensiousness. On top of the films attitude we have a truly despicable human being to feel sorry for, Chris McCandless is an asshole. A thoroughly selfish human being carrying the “i’m 16 still angry at my father” phase well past 16 and straight to a meaningless and self caused death. I tried to like him really i did but no matter how well mannered he was i could still see thorugh to what he was.
Everything in the film bothered me but i point my finger directly at the main character. I really don’t care if he was based on a real life figure he was still an asshole i wouldn’t have liked him in real life anyway if he were anything like the film says he was. I had a cold smile on my face when he had his head kicked in by an angry train engineer and it returned as i watched him die because i knew the movie was ending.
Unfortunately none of my firends agreed with me. they were just swept up and deeply moved by it. It would also appear I am not of popular opinion on the film either.
I hated The Bourne Ultimatum, but nearly everyone I know thought it was fantastic. Paddy Considine’s character was potentially the most interesting one there, but sadly they didn’t stick with him for long. It just didn’t do anything at all for me.
The Bourne movies would have been awesome if the director used a steady cam
The Godfather is overrated, and quite boring. I just can’t find compassion for murderers, no matter how much humanity a director tries to instill.
Juno was really contrived as was Little Miss Sunshine. If these are great films, we have nothing to look forward to at the theaters.
I thought the The Dark Knight was incomprehensible and devolved into the usual mayhem that action films tend to do these days.
Nashville.
Jia Zhang-ke’s Still Life. While I didn’t hate it, considering it has been a Golden Lion winner, I was very disappointed.
Long list, but of the lastest ones, Little Miss Sunshine.
Juno. It made me feel like the world had gone mad .Also Slumdog millionaire
crash
Shawshank: an alright film that people who can’t read cinema think is one of the best.
Good Will Hunting: Because Robin Williams is in it.
Schindler’s List: Because Jaws is a much better film (as is Close Encounters).
Beauty and the Beast (Disney version): pales in comparison to Pinocchio and Dumbo.
Talk To Her, which i guess i didn’t hate so much as just didn’t get anything out of it. thought it was poorly directed—some of the film just seemed awkward, out of place within itself, and unbelievable. the storyline, though, was quite good.
Pan’s Labrynth was a HUGE letdown for me. i thought Del Toro way overused the special effects, and the characters were so predictable it made it very boring. yeah, we get it—facists are bad and communists are good, with no gray area, or no place else for the characters to go. i actually thought the film didn’t pay enough attention on the girl (can’t remember her name) or her fantasies. the fantasies, also, seemed pointless and the ending didn’t “make it happen” for me.
The Lost Weekend…wtf? this was NOT one of Wilder’s better movies i though, and i don’t see why people still see Ray Milland’s performance as being one of the best of all times. i guess i cared about the character, but even for a 1940s take on alcoholism, it was just tacky and borderline preachy. didn’t like the script, either. thought they took a great storyline and just threw it away to appeal to people’s moral sensabilites.
Sin city
Beetle Juice (1988) by Tim Burton
Darjeeling Limited (2007) by Wes Anderson
Mamma Mia (2008) by Phuyllida Lloyd
…double the sentiments regarding Sin City. fucking waste of my time, that movie.
@Yah, I hated Good Will Hunting, Requiem for a Dream, Juno, Slingblade, Boondock Saints…
Also, cinephile friends kinda hated me for not liking these bunch…
The Lower Depths (Renoir)
Nouvelle Vague (Godard)
Far Away, So Close
Sex, Lies and Videotape
My Own Private Idaho
*Cue- awkward silence…
I hate Juno too but what your reasons for hating it?
@ROSSONERI – Well, the lead character is unconvincing enough, I thought the whole thing was overrated. Why am I explaining this? I’d rather talk about football- I used to follow AC Milan back in the days, and still do when I got the chance.
Forza Milano. BTW that question is open to everyone.
ROSSONERI FAN – juno. everyone talked it up so much. ooh great story. ooh you’ll love the lead actress (like i’d never fucking heard of ellen page). ooh so well written. so clever. so original. so cool. i really hated this film. maybe if it had come out in 1994 i might not have hated it so much, but i probably still would have. best screenplay? i know the oscars rarely award materpieces but was there no competition? the entire film is so contrived, every line seems to have been rewritten a thousand times, the living room on the front lawn? seriously? i dont think they could have tried any harder to make this film “cool”. anyway they are some of the reasons i hate juno. i also hated the darjeeling limited.
Without a doubt…Forrest Gump. It’s a package as opposed to a movie, calculated to make people just love it’s quirkiness. Tom Hanks, a terrific actor, is as monotonous as Dustin Hoffman in Rainman (another movie I can’t stand despite the love thrown at it).
Napolean Dynomite,Mulholland Falls,maybe I’m not there yet.
Well I hated the ending of Juno where she and Bleeker were serenading each other. That made me cringe.
aoaijea
Boondock (possibly only made by the Weinsteins because of Pulp Fiction’s popularity) Saints, and Pan’s Labrynth. What the hell’s the big deal with that movie? It’s shot very generically, and uses a color pattern similar to every other Del Toro film, and now just reminds me of Spirit of the Beehive, but with more violence, monsters, and an arch villain.
