Gone With The Wind

Eternal Sunshine if a Spotless Mind has such good reviews and people speak fondly of it online. I hated it, just thought both characters were insufferable, and there was nothing remotely romantic about it. Felt like I was trapped in the bad relationship with them.

If The Sopranos was boring, what you’d get is The Godfather. It’s boring. And it insists upon itself.

I kinda liked your comment, but it insists upon itself.

  1. Closest I've come to walking out of the theatre. So disappointing after the great short, which they took and just animeified

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

Absolute snoozefest with possibly the worst cast leads in modern history.

This was universally panned, so I don't think you hit the prompt.

Oppenheimer.

3 hrs of nausea-inducing quick cuts

Can it be a director?

The dark Knight is the only good Nolan movie. And Heath carried all of the weight

Hmm, I sort of agree about Ledger. I rewatch Inception, Interstellar, and The Prestige regularly though. The IMAX shots in Interstellar are amazing in 4k HDR and I do enjoy the plot for the other two.

BladeRunner - is like they wrote the screenplay based on the excellent source novel, then cut most of the ideas out, leaving only things that make no sense. Rick Deckard is a terrible detective, and only wins the final confrontation because Roy Batty... just gives up? I recently decided that my teenage self might have been wrong and rewatched it... nah, still terrible.

The directors cut/final cut does improve the plot line but admittedly the original movie is more vibes than substance. I think a lot of the "neo-tokyo" cyberpunk aesthetic we take for granted had tropes which originated in this film.

I’m gonna give the opposite answer than you want. I feel like most movies recently are like that but some I had to get into the right mood to enjoy them. The first time I watched the new top gun I thought it was garbage propaganda then I gotta into jet sims and think it’s an awesome movie. Same with mad max fury road, thought it was trash until I watched 1-3 then 4-5.
