Twilight, Titanic and Avatar to name a few!0

Just bc you don't like it doesn't mean its not good. I agree with a lot of choices (twilight esp), but guess what just bc it doesn't entertain you (or us, the majority at this site it seems) does not mean it didn't entertain the teenagers that it was created for.
I have to minorly disagree only because I think films who throw away any solid plot just to have an hour and a half of sex jokes, fart jokes, poor slapstick, and general randomness aren't good whether I watch them or not. To me those feed off teenagers and college students with the sense of humor of a 13 year old boy finding boobs on the internet for the first time or the people that leech around on the cesspool site that is 4chan. But, again that is my opinion and others are bound to say they disagree with it and that's fine. That aside yes you are right, just because you don't like something or abhor it doesn't mean it's automatic trash.
I actually do agree that just because *I* don't like something doesn't make it not good. I hated The da Vinci Code, but can objectively say that Dan Brown is a good writer and I understand why people liked it. I didn't enjoy The Hunger Games (book or movie), but I don't think it was not good in the objective sense. It just wasn't for me.
But there is good writing and bad writing that one can judge objectively. Still, art is subjective and totally in the eye of the beholder.
I can't stand Will Ferrell. I think he is funny in a certain context, but he always takes the joke too far. There were scenes in Taladega Nights that were funny for about two minutes that he dragged out for 10 minutes until it wasn't funny anymore. I had the same problem with Knocked Up and 40-Year-Old Virgin. They were funny for the first 90 minutes or so, but then the joke got old.0 -
Most Adam Sandler mivies.
JM0 -
Most Adam Sandler movies.
and add to that list - most Ben Stiller/Will Ferrell/Jon Heder/Bradley Cooper/Jack Black movies.
all those silly road-trip/girlfriend movies like Hangover/Bridesmaids/etc etc etc. and I never GOT American Pie (despite loving Alyson Hannigan)
Also all those gangster/Mafia movies like The Godfather trilogy, Good Fellows, etc
Apocalypse Now
Lost in Translation
Forrest Gump
Titanic
I think I'll leave it here for just now... :laugh:0 -
Some commendable listings here....but by far the worst, most pretentious, "artsy" movie that was nominated for every major awards show.... TREE OF LIFE. Awful! Walked by the same theatre a week after I saw it and they had a sign out front " No refunds for Tree of Life" no other movies....just that god awful acid trip.
^^^^^^^
THIS... Absolutely0 -
"Superbad" - was SUPER BAD!!
Finally, someone else who agrees with me on this
I didn't laugh once, and I want those hours back!0 -
all romantic comedies
The plot of every romantic comedy:
two people meet. they either hook up then fight, or hate eachother right off the bat
the rest of the movie is supposedly-but-not-actually "witty" banter and supposedly-but-not-even-close-to "funny" situations revolving around why these two people aren't happy with eachother
then in the end there is a big huge moment with epic music when they realize they are truly meant to be together
cue vomit. every romantic comedy i have ever seen has been a drain on precious hours of my life. friends/boyfriends have constantly made me sit down to movies they said were "hilarious" only for me to find out right away what a ****storm of mediocrity and nausia i was in for. Lately I've been dragged through
Bridesmades (where a bunch of psycho *****es are *****es to everyone for a few hours? NOT funny)
I Love You Man (great cast? not about heterosexual romance? STILL FILLED WITH HORRIBLE-NESS)
Knocked Up (oh fun, several hours of two people screaming at eachother intersperced with stoner humor.)0 -
Dirty Dancing... why does every woman like this movie?
Avatar... didn't hate it. But I didn't like it.
The Dark Knight. I just couldn't get into it.
I would say Bridesmaids but I didn't think that one was very popular. I thought it was really boring and not funny at all.
And then there's Twilight. I still can't quite comprehend why these movies are popular.
Oh and Marley and Me. I thought the movie was alright but I could never figure out why everyone thought that movie was "so sad"... Oh no, the stupid, horrible, dog who ruined everything died. ????0 -
Avatar...the movie equivalent of TL:DR
Napoleon Dynamite...I think I laughed 1 time during the entire movie & questioned why I was watching it the entire time
Twilight...Hollywood purposely went out & recruited the worst actors imaginable and lumped them all together just to punish society as a whole0 -
Titanic
Dirty Dancing
Memento
Heat0 -
P.S. In regards to Bridesmaids...I heard the funniest scene was the deleted scene with Paul Rudd; but I have yet to see it.0
-
Twilight series
Black Swan
Shutter Island
Dirty Dancing
Ghost
Most Clint Eastwood directed movies
The list goes on for quite a while0 -
I HATE Napoleon Dynamite.
Also dislike:
Pulp Fiction0 -
Melancholia I can't believe Kirsten Dunst got an award for being dull and staring in the whole movie. Napolean Dynamite another movie where the main character and the supporting characters are all dull. Bridesmaids: Oscar nominated for farting and being disgusting, please! The Cat in the Hat with Mike Myers soooo perverted do not let your kids watch it.0
-
Titanic for me too. Too sappy. Too long.0
-
-Bridesmaids
-Harry Potter
-Lord of the Rings
-Twilight0 -
Lord of the Rings. Bored the crap outta me...0
-
Did anyone say GHOST yet? I HATED that movie!0
-
Titantic, anything with leonardo diCRAPio in it :laugh: Does it really take that long to sink a ship??0

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets makes me feel like I'm having a nightmare. All of the others were fine, it was just something about the lighting in that one.
Army of Darkness makes me feel like I'm having a fever dream.
Dumb and Dumber, and all of the Austin Powers movies - my siblings are always on me like WHY DON'T YOU LIKE THESE MOVIES????? THEY ARE SO FUNNY!!!!!! But I really don't like the gross humor. I'm not into it. It's disgusting, it's not funny, and I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I like a poop joke just as much as the next person (or more, in most cases) but I don't want to SEE it. Jeez. That's just too far.0 -
American Beauty.
And ya, the Godzilla with Mathew Brodrick WAS horrible!
^^^This^^^^^ Plus I really hated the Blair Witch Project. I asked for my money back when it was over.0 -
Marley and Me! I would have put that bratty dog down pronto.
Oh yeah and the dreaded Twilight.0 -
Hunger Games!0
-
2012: Worst movie ever!0
-
Star Wars
Harry Potter
Twlight0 -
So many people hate Avatar, that hurts me on a deep level :sad: LOL j/k
Anything that is really stupid funny. Like Austin Powers, Superbad, The Hangover, etc. I would need to be really, and I mean REALLY, drunk to even sit through any of them.0 -
Inception was the worst movie ever. I fell asleep.
And to all you haters on Star Wars? Really?! The original trilogy was AMAZING.
It's Jar-Jar Binks that brought the whole franchise down!
Episodes 4-6: Good
Episode 1: Awful. Kill the Gungan.
Episode 2: OK, too much CG, but lots of action
Episode 3: Similar in drama to TESB, too much CG, but not awful.0 -
Titanic. I enjoyed the first hour or so, but as soon as the ship started sinking I just got bored. I was ready for the movie to be over, the sinking took way too long.
Napoleon Dynamite. I saw it at the dollar theatre on 50 cent Tuesday, and when we got done my friend said "I could have had more fun throwing the two quarters I spent to see this movie at a wall for an hour and a half." Pretty much my sentiment.0 -
Bridesmaids!! I was looking forward to seeing it and was SO disappointed.0

I guess that means you don't like the American Pie series, which is so funny to me I hurt myself laughing. Otherwise, me and you are on the same page.0
