i absolutely despise many sitcom movies (especially when they're aimed for kids) but high school musical seriously comes off in my mind >

Inglourious Basterds

 

Airplane!

*screams in horror*

Sorry, I get why someone wouldn't like them, but I absolutely LOVE those movies.

 

Off the top of my head, I thought Avatar was a crappy movie. People lost their minds when that came out because they loved it, but I thought everything about it sucked.

Also, The Hunger Games series. I don't necessarily dislike them, but I also didn't think they were that good.

All the Pokémon movies. Even the first one. *gets shot*

That movie actually turned me off from Pokemon as a kid for a while. Even as a 6-7 year old kid I thought that scene with Ash turning to stone was incredibly stupid and sappy. Pokemon 3 is probably the only movie I've seen that I actually enjoyed

Pokémon is an amazing VIDEO GAME series. Everything else besides the manga is terrible in my opinion.

I dislike Frozen for its massive hype and unnecessary praise. It was an "Ok" movie, but the popularity it has is just ridiculous.

[Leave a Whisper 703]

Disney's Princess and the Frog, it was beautiful, but felt rushed, the songs were unmemorable and the villain was blah-blah boring.

 

The Exorcist-I finally got a chance to watch it last Halloween and I couldn't understand how or why it would scare people.

 

Friday the 13th and Halloween are dull.

 

Tron remake-My boyfriend talked me into seeing it. I didn't like it and left with a massive headache.

 

Captain America movies-My boyfriend is a big comic book fan so we go to see a lot of them. I respect him as one of the greats and I understand his personality reflects his era of what an outstanding young man should be back then, but I didnt enjoy them.

   For me, Pixar's Brave, after the fiasco of Cars 2, I was expecting Pixar to recover, instead we got a generic princess movie, by the numbers, it also felt like past stories duct taped together, like Braveheart, every princess movie with Brother Bear. Merida was not that good of a character, she reminds me of people with first world problems, they want to have success without sacrifice and responsibility, that was Merida, and the Scottish stereotypes were too much, finally, she was not that gallant in the movie, her mother was the real brave person, she got turned into a bear, and showed what a leader is suppose to be, if you want to see a good archer movie, that came out the same year, watch Korea's War of the Arrows.  

   Any superhero movie, I don't hate them, but I do have a low opinion, although it's still fun to watch Superman and Batman, I think these movies are overrated, and their fans are an irascible mob, that will defend the movies to the last breath. I like ordinary people being heroes, because anyone can be a hero, male or female, rich or poor, amateur or professional, like Die Hard, John McClain was just an off duty police officer, caught in the middle of a hostage and robbery situation, and had to use his wits to prevail, or Ripley from Aliens, who had to fight an alien in outer space, finally, Zootopia, two natural enemies coming together to solve a mystery and thwart crime. These were mortal characters, it feels more inspiring to see heroism, that watching cool gadgets and powers, or seeing who is the better hero in action scenes.

[Willow 1,008]

Not sure if a lot of people actually loved this movie (though lots of my friends do), but The Blair Witch Project. It was boring, probably one of the most boring movies I've ever seen, and I'm not really sure why anyone liked it... but to each their own.

 

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, I probably didn't like it because I'm not really a horror film person.

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

I never really liked the Star Wars Movies, as far as i can recall.

I also dislike a lot of Dc Comics Movies, which are regarded as classics.

I dont think the original Superman and Batman Movie were that great, the Movie with Christopher Reeve felt kinda boring and to comedy like and the first Batman was...weird. It was also funny at some points, which just maked me confused, since i believed that the Movie would be way more serious and dark, after a lot of People say, its the best Batman ever made.

 

And Batman Returns was even more weird...not dark and serious at all, just weird.

[The Cynical Lone Wolf 615]

Frozen and its mostly same reasons Doug Walker had for the Loin King. The songs are generic as hell, heck the song on Phineas and Ferb were better. The villain is lame, heck doesn't do much of anything.  Zootopia and most Dreamworks  had better CGI than in this move. I felt this mvie was like a early 2000 Disney movie, while Werk-it-Ralph felt more like a Disney movie.

[cmarston1 5,959]

I would also have to go with James Cameron's Avatar as a popular movie that I happen to dislike.

That movie despite having some nice visuals is dreadfully boring and one of the least interesting films that I have ever seen.

It's basically a longer version of Pocahontas but with blue people.

How it managed to became the highest grossing film of all time and receive 4 upcoming sequels is a mystery to me.

I forgot about one thank you and Im betting the squeals are going bad as Fergully *shivers*

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Jame's Cameron's Avatar. Or as I like to call it, Misanthropy: the movie!

 

Why so many root for this story is beyond me. Jake is sent into the Na'vi, by the supposed war monger Colonel Quaritch (the real hero of the movie) mind you, to broker a peace between the humans and Na'vi a job he fails spectacularly at and not because it was impossible because he didn't do it! An important fact that they basically gloss over in the film is that the unobtanium is desperately needed on Earth. An Earth, that Jake says flat out, is dying!

 

Pocahontas may get raked over the coals for a lot of reasons but you know what? That movie did what this movie should have done! At the end, the British aren't driven off of the land and not because we historically know that's not what happens, but because love between two people of the belligerents stops the rest of their people from coming to a war that will benefit no one and only result in pointless death. SOUND F**KING FAMILIAR, CAMERON?! 

 

So the movie basically says flat out, humanity is dying, humanity deserves to die, and the only moral thing to do is to cleanse yourself of the crime of being human by becoming something (supposedly) superior and more moral than a human.

 

This movie can go to Hell.

I think you missed the point of the movie here.

 

The point, or, at least, what I got from it, is that the humans in the corporate system on Pandora are evil due to the fact they are willing to destroy anything in their path to get after what they want. In this case, unobtainium, which as explained early in the movie, sells for $20,000,000 a kilogram. Unobtainium is not needed on Earth, merely wanted by a small percent of rich people. It did not matter by what means they forcibly removed the Na'vi from their home, merely that it was done, not unlike what happened to the native Americans. Greed is what set the stage, and ultimately, Jake realized that, and he was disgusted by the fact that he was a member of that corporation, and slowly slaked off from it and humanity. He chose to be Na'vi simply because it felt correct to him and it spoke to his spirit and emotional side to do so, as he found happiness there that he had not found elsewhere.

 

And the movie did not state that humanity was evil, merely that the ones there who were there because of one corporation's greed were corrupt and wicked, indiscriminately killing children and women for no reason other than because money, and willing to destroy a holy place for literally no reason at all other than to be vindictive.

 

Oh, and my movie is probably the second Matrix. I realize there are questions to be answered after the first, but could they have just made the sequels a little bit better?

Frozen. 

I like Frozen, but it's been so overexposed I'm getting a little tired of it. (I only watch it once every two weeks now!)  It does have its flaws though too. 

 

I do agree with you on Batman anything. Have they ever done a good Batman? I don't think superhero movies these days, with very few exceptions, are very good at all. Batman v Superman was an abomination. And most of them just follow the same templates as the others. Honestly, how many times do we have to see a big showdown in a busy city street with everything getting destroyed? Boring!

[Dapper Charmer 591]

I really hate The Hunger Games. I couldn't even make it through the first movie and for a movie about kiling people it's really boring.

[Stardust* 3,302]

@@Dreambiscuit,

 

I was burnt out with Frozen 6 months after it came out. My now 5 year old was obsessed with it! She still has a few Frozen things, helmet for her bike, socks, and I think that's about it.

 

I refuse to let my 2 year old get into it!

 

 

I do agree with you to a point with the superhero movies. I didn't go watch Superman v Batman simply because I so strongly dislike Batman. 

 

But X-Men, Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man. I love all of those lol! 

 

OH!! Spiderman. I dislike those movies. The only decent one was with Emma Stone.

I agree across the boards! I'm afraid your two year old is going to win any arguments about watching Frozen though. Trust me. 

The superhero movies you mention are exactly the few I like. I liked the Emma Stone Spiderman but they shouldn't have given it such a downbeat ending. I liked the younger Spiderman in Captain America Civil War. He gave it some fun energy.

@,

 

We could debate our points, of which I do have responses, but this is not the thread to do that so I will simply agree to disagree. I was asked what widely praised movie I did not like, and my version of that is Misanthropy: the movie. 

[Luminance 2,186]

I don't understand the praise for Frozen. It's good but it's not great.
