List Some Movies That The Critics Liked, But You Didn't, OT !

• The Departed: Ugh. This film had outstanding-acting, but fell-flat on it's face at the end.
• Donnie Darko: Not anything what I expected, at all. Bad-acting, cheesy-lines, weird-as-hell storyline. What did they see in this?
• Star Trek: Nothing but visuals here.
• Avatar: Very, very boring movie with ground-breaking CGI.
• Unstoppable: This movie made "Taking of Pelham 123" seem like a great move.

I'll be sure to add more whenever they come to mind.

I love that movie, but oh God, terrible ending.

Anyway, Amores Perros, it's suppose to be one of the best Mexican movies ever (considered by many, the best), i thought it was boring as hell.

Hot Fuzz. If you've seen the trailer then that's it, otherwise prepare to be saying to yourself "show me the funny"...waste film and just about everyone I personally know who liked it is not funny in the slightest so at least that crap film served a purpose for me.

I don't pay attention to critics. I find their opinions are wrong most of the time.

I generally pick 5 or so critics that I find myself agreeing with a lot and then follow their advice on what to see and what to skip.

Avatar and Salt. Angelina Jolie is just horrible imo and avatar was a bit boring. Then again I went into that movie expecting something else so that is partially my fault.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. That movie was crap. Also, I didn't care for Titanic.

Agree about Avatar and Donnie Darko

[QUOTE="Enid_Green"]

[QUOTE="XxxExtremeNJBXx"] Wow. This is the exact opposite with me. I pay a lot of attention to critics, because I agree with them a lot of the time. They know their films, especially (most of the time) when it comes to 'Best Pictures'.XxxExtremeNJBXx

I agree with that, but I'm not spending $30 on movie tickets to see something I won't like.

Wall-E :o Madness :evil:

:P Is just that i haven't see many people who disliked Wall-E

there's some older movies that i wasn't that impressed with given how critically acclaimed they are/were. for example, citizen kane, the godfather, 2001, the deer hunter, blade runner.. i don't know.. maybe they just don't hold up over time. maybe they were revolutionary when they came out but have lost that spark over time as similar movies have been made.comp_atkins

Wow, i didn't know that they changed the diologue, i saw in movie theatres and then in TV, however it was dubbed on TV so i don't know if they changed it.

I didn't like the Godfather when I first saw it (I was also like 17 at the time) but I watched it again a few years ago and forced myself to really pay attention to what was going on, and it really grew on me.

Boring? really? well, to each on his own, is just that i love that movie so much and that i never felt boring to me, even now when it's on T.V i watched it and enjoyed as much as i did the first time.

THE WRESTLER

critics are there to criticize, don't think they should have a job for more then 3 years.

A Clockwork Orange, that film was just so damn boring. I understood the message and everything but it was just not ejoyable to watch.xTheExploited

That movie is a clas*ic IMO

Slumdog Millionare. It just couldn't hold my interest, but I'm willing to give it a second chance someday

Still my all-time fav movie, so i had no issues with the critics there.

The Social Network...despite what they said I don't feel it is the film of my generation...KlownMaster

Die Welle - When movies have a political message that is so simplistic and superficial as this German remake of The Wave (which wasn't very good either), I'm just gonna facepalm throughout the whole movie. Horrible movie.

No Country For Old Men - The set-up was good, and Bardem's performance was simply awesome, but in the end, I felt that the philosophical background of the movie couldn't make up for its lack of direction.

Volver - Another pointless movie by Almodóvar with a plot that you'd be more likely to expect in a soap series. Next.

Hitler: The Rise of Evil - See 'Die Welle'. Why is it that every time that a movie tries to cover fascism or national-socialism as a central topic, it loses itself in a predictable, unchallenging thought process that is easily digestable but hardly satisfying? Terrible movie.

Yep, that's about it for now.

In Bruges

Star Trek

Casino Royale

127 Hours. Seriously one of the most boring movies I've ever watched. The editing was cool though.

I agree with the first three a lot and Tarantino's are a fun watch, but not masterpieces.

What about Departed's ending didn't you like?

Star Trek was phenomenal, but then again I'm a sci-fi comic geek. Same goes for Avatar.

Never seen Darko or Unstoppable(or Taking of Pelham 123, I seen the original Taking of Pelham One Two Three though)

Drag me to Hell

Cloverfield

Crash

English Patient

Pay it forward

Jurassic Park Sequel

Pirates of Carribean (any)

Pan's Labyrinth

Englorious Basterds

Darko is one of my favorite movies, but I can see why others may not like it.

There is MUCH food for thought, and every single scene is important.

One of the main issues with the movie, however, is that you really cannot get everything out of the movie by watching the movie alone. You actually have to do some research (on their website) to get the full story and have everything explained. That alone could make people not like it, but I rather enjoyed the whole concept.
