    Almost all of Will Ferrell’s movies, but especially Talladega Nights, a stupid movie about stupid people doing stupid things according to a stupid script. It’s one of two movies I’ve ever walked out on (the other being Split, which is just gross). Stranger Than Fiction is the only good movie with Will Ferrell in a starring roll.

    Snowpiercer. It was highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes and from the poster I thought it stared U2’s The Edge, so I took a chance. That was the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

    The Dark Knight Rises. Not only is it a bad Batman movie, it oddly has a pro cop message. Also, I can’t take Bane seriously at all with that ridiculous voice.

      That’s the point… We’re watching the spiral of a gambling addict. Its pure anxiety, and it’s done so well.

    Gravity.

    Literally the only movie I’ve ever turned off part way through. Youd think that the producers would have, i don’t know, accurately depicted the force the movie is named after.

    Lucas directed Star Wars. Any. He’s an awful director in almost every aspect. Some of the worst acting from extremely talented people I’ve ever seen because he doesn’t know how to direct them.

    Take the same cast, story, massage the script, and have ANYONE else direct, and it’d be great. I just can’t with Lucas.

      I think George Lucas would agree with you.

      While he directed the first film, Empire and Jedi had other directors. When it came to the prequel series Lucas really tried to get someone else to direct, but everyone turned him down as the project was “too daunting”.

      Lucas is best as the idea guy.

      Not true, they did this already with Ep7.

    The godfather movies.

    I understand they influenced many other movies but they are just so fucking boring.

    Probably getting some hate for saying this, but…. The Dune movies are some of the worst big budget movies I’ve seen. They look nice and the cinematography is awesome but that movie feels so damn empty.

      Yeah, I’d rather watch the Lynch version anytime, the new ones are like 6 hours of bland, boring choices and wooden performances.

        “Wooden performances” is the only way to describe the acting in Lynch’s. That movie is a confuding mess and painful to watch if you don’t know the story. A movie can’t simply assume you’ve read the book to understand it. People can only truly prefer Lynch to Villeneuve ironically. You can’t honestly think it’s better film.

          I thought watching the new ones was like watching paint dry. At least Lynch’s version had some personality.

              I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue this stuff. This is a thread about movies you can’t be convinced are good. I’m not trying to convince you, I’m stating that I liked the David Lynch Dune considerably more than the new ones. Feel free to take that or leave it, art’s not really objective, dude.
