Ask Lemmy

Nosferatu, the one that just came out, is very well done. It's also just Nosferatu: Again.

I was very bored watching the movie because it's the same story I've heard before many times. Those 2 hours and 12 minutes dragged hard.

I hate that movie too, but because I read the book and it was great. they completely ruined all the story and worldbuilding to make it a shitty feel-good movie for tweens.

I strongly agree with you OP, about Hollywood. They can't put actually ugly people in the movies so they try to act like someone is ugly when they are a complete stunner.

Another thing, in movies and TV shows they keep saying "you look tired", to actors who look competely normal and really good. No difference at all from their normal looks. And yet, they keep doing that shit. Once you think about this, you get annoyed every time it happens.

Ok my movies are:

Oppenheimer. Such a boring movie and everyone loved it.

Gravity. George Clooney is a charming clown in space, doesn't fit the story at all, and everyone liked it.

Probably more, but those are the absolute top rated ones that I don't agree with the public on.

Alien Romulus

This movie seems to get a lot of love for some reason. I understand the bar was set really low by Prometheus and Covenant but that's not an excuse.

Romulus is just a collection of greatest hits from all the previous movies. None of the beats were new or original. Not a single protagonist or element added to the story in a meaningful way. None of the main characters are memorable in the slightest (compare to the phenomenal characters in Alien or Aliens). It was just so...bland

Interstellar. Slow, stupid and the ending. That fucking idiotic ending. I still regret the 3 hours of my life I lost to it.

Dune

Boooooooring

Donnie Darko.

It was so overhyped back when it came out because the OG hipster crowd of the early 90s thought it was cool, as did younger people who valued things that were “indie” as if that inherently adds value.

My wife and I are huge fans of the Ready Player One book and we could not watch the movie. Literally stopped it. I tried a few more times to resume it but I kept having to stop. I finally finished it on my eight or ninth session.

if you think that movie was bad, you have no idea how painful it is for someone who loved the book.
