Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

If you think the movie eas cringe, definitely don't read the book. It's so much worse.

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.

Titanic.

Why? Hmmm, hard to say. Seems obvious to me. I'm totally ok with a love story but I don't really care for romance stories. Let me explain the difference to me. I'm not saying this is a formal definition. To me a love story is drama and romance is melodrama. It felt more like melodrama to me.

And to interest the men, let's throw in a disaster flick. If people fall off the boat and hit the propeller on the way down, men will love it and women will love the rest. No pandering at all.

Plus screw the priceless gem, just toss it overboard.

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.

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.

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

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.
