I don't think Heath Ledger was a good Joker.
I don't think he fitted it very well.
He over acted in every scene.

And he only one the Oscar because he died

I think the greatest showman is rubbish

The Shawshank Redemption is the most overrated film ever. By far. It’s dull, sentimental tripe with a ludicrous plot. Burrowing your way out of a high-security jail with just a rock hammer would take several human lifetimes. And as for the ludicrous scene where a bunch of murderers & rapists get all weepy over opera, that’s just too daft to laugh at.

Blade Runner is sooo boring!

Mothership4two · 09/02/2024 02:15

There is zero chemistry between the leads in Dirty Dancing and I didn't believe in/care about their relatiohship. I thought the famous "nobody puts Baby in a corner" sounded odd and made me cringe - apparently Patrick Swaze didn't like it at the time and only said it once.

Avatar has a clunky and boring plot.

I really liked Shawshank and Blade Runner (says quietly)

All the Italian mafia films are rubbish and men who like them are usually boring.

Star wars is rubbish (any of them)
Channing tatum is really not good looking
The second avatar film was so boring

Dartmoorcheffy · 09/02/2024 02:35

Blade runner was awful. DP loved it.

Schindler's List is terrible. Boring. Doesn't let you engage with any of the characters.

It was critically acclaimed and won loads of Oscars at the time and when I tried to watch it back in the day, I turned off after about 40mins as it just wasn't developing any characters.
I've recently been to Krakow and been to the places, the museum, re-read the history so I thought I'd try watching it again as it is on iPlayer, but no. Same thing. Nothing to engage me. Once again I switched off after about 40mins or so.

I hated Pulp Fiction

DancefloorAcrobatics · 09/02/2024 13:38

All DC comics & Marvel films are soo rubbish. Watched Thor and Aquaman in cinema with DH (ex if I have to watch another one!) - the dialogues are only bearable if you atr under 5!

@NewName24 - read the book! I totally agree the film doesn't do it justice. (As is often the case.)

TallulahBetty · 09/02/2024 13:42

Titanic is shit. and 2 hours too long. See also Pearl Habour.

Dotellhimpike · 09/02/2024 17:38

Jane Campion's The Piano is a big bag of shite.

SongbirdGarden · 09/02/2024 17:40

I thought The English Patient was very slow and boring.

cloudjumper · 09/02/2024 17:48

Good point about Avatar - the first one was so bad! I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than watch the second one Grin

I agree. The book is excellent. And very moving.

Notting Hill is absolute crap. There’s no chemistry at all and Julia Roberts looks awkward. The only thing worth watching is all of the other excellent actors.

MissRheingold · 09/02/2024 18:09

Zero chemistry and poor acting in Marley and Me from the two leads.

George Clooney can't act his way out of a paper bag.

Aniston is a one trick only and can only play herself.

Margo Robbie whilst pretty is a wooden actress.

Harry Potter films are crap as are the books.

I enjoy the old Carry On films......... (I know)

I love the old Carry On films! Especially the B&W ones, but also got a soft spot for Carry on Camping.

Agree. The book was better as it wasn't just about them - film made their 'romance' (affair) central. I didn't believe in their 'meaningful' relationship as there seemed next to no chemistry between them
