What Movies do you hate the most?

Post Reply New Topic

i'm with you. all my friends loved Garden State and i alone hated it among them. it wasn't an indie movie, it was some dork's (Zach Braff's) idea of what indie audiences would like. just a bunch of quirkiness that's not connected.

i mean, in Natalie Portman carries around a Dixie cup telling Zach Braff it's to "collect his tears when he finally cries"...that's not cute and quirky, that's INSANE. only an INSANE person would say that!

romantic comedies, same formula for ever one of them- guy meets girl, guy falls in love with girl, guy has trouble with a past love, girl finds out about guys trouble and leaves, guy realizes who he really must spend his life with and chases down girl before she leaves by taxi, car, train, airplane, etc.., guy confesses love to girl, and all live happily ever after.( god why does my sister make me suffer through those movies.)

Aside from Lion King and Titan A.E. I pretty much hate all movies.

Any American Pie movie, or teenage gross out movieS (Road trip, animal house, porky's) . It's pretty much put together by a middle age man who thinks he knows what young people want to see "THROW IN A SHOT OF BOOBIES THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SCENE! THEY'LL LIKE THAT! MAKE A COUPLE OF FART JOKES! THEY'LL LIKE THAT TOO!" Too formulaic, and not surprisingly, lots of people like them. I suspect it's only because they're told to.

Lars and the Real Girl

They trailer made it look like a quirky comedy, which I like.

But the movie wasn't funny at all. Stupid, boring, slow, poorly edited, difficult to believe....

Movies that people quote ad nauseam. I do not want the entire script of Borat screamed in my goddamn face whenever I bring up Kazakhstan even in passing, thank you very much. (I'm looking at you, JD.)

There was a movie made in the 60s called Head which starred the Monkees and was co-written by Jack Nicholson. That has the "honor" of being the worst movie I have ever seen. It tries to be a trippy, non-linear flick about (Among other things) commercialism, celebrity and war, yet none of it is entertaining, the songs are crap, and the "satire" is about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face. I got a headache watching this movie, and this is no exaggeration. Its the only movie I've ever saw that has ever inflicted pain on me.

If The Monkees wanted to be taken more seriously, then making this movie probably wasn't a very good idea.

While I loved "Garden State" for all its bizarrety, and really like some of its imitators (like "Me and You and Everyone We Know"), I have to agree that so are so many sucky new indie flicks trying to measure up to it. I didn't like "Juno" much; "Eagle Vs. Shark" was disappointing (though amusing); don't get me started on "Rocket Science." Ick.

I disagree. I think if it were shorter or made to be a comedy or something then yes, it would have been bad.. I don't know. I thought it was a nice movie that was emotionally poignant without being melodramatic/in-your-face.

Parody films by hacks who don't understand that reference alone is not satire. Date Movie, the Scary Movie series, that kind of thing. Basically anything that tries to copy the style of the great screwball comedies that the Americans (sometimes) do so well.

Any movie that focuses on violence is not a good movie, in my opinion. I saw a few in theaters with some people I knew and couldn't figure out why they wanted to see them. One was called "The Interpreter" which featured a bus blowing up and kids murduring adults. Another (I forget the name of it) had Tom Cruise playing a crazed killer holding a gun to the head of a cab driver played by Jamie Foxx. These are examples of what should stay out of the entertainment world, simply because they are NOT pieces of entertainment.

I hate chick-flicks with a passion

Who doesn't?

you're thinking of "Collateral" by Michael Mann. and you didn't like it? i thought it was a great movie! to it's credit it didn't show any of the violence as "glamorous" per se.

ooo, on that, can we include Lifetimes original movies as a whole on this thread? any objections?

Sequals that don't need to be made.
