Movies Amazing movies you just don't like?

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

Are there any movies everyone loves and hails as masterpieces, but you don't like and/or see anything especial in?

For example: everyone's always talking about how awesome the Top Gun movies are... but I just check out before a single dogfight can actually take place.

I'll admit the aireal choreography looks AWESOME, but that's not enough to carry a whole movie for me — it's firmly on "YouTube Clip" territory at that point.

You?

I remember Batman Begins getting an insane amount of critical acclaim when it first came out. I’ve never really liked it in all honesty, even back then as a kid, I just couldn’t understand what the hype was about with that film. Dark Knight I enjoyed and Dark Knight Rises I thought was decent, but Batman Begins just never clicked for me

I didn't like the ending of Ratatouille when I was a child.

Im gonna say most Tarantino movies.

Like, they are mostly perfect movies by technical and screenwriting and acting "measurements", but when i see those movies i feel like somebody is trying to convince me to like them more than make me enjoy them for my own sake. When i watch a movie i personally want to watch a artist give me his own perspective, i feel like most movies outside the hollywood brand names are kind autobiographical movies from the directors, or at the very least they leave part of themselves printed on them (if you look at spider man raimi movies, they are raimi movies).

But if i look at Tarantino movies, i feel like he's saying to me that he studied a lot of movies and know how to script and that is the best way to do it so i have to enjoy it when i personally enjoy more flawed movies but that give me a new perspective on a subject or on life outside of movies themselves. Otherwise it's just like an echo chamber of cinephiles making movies for themselves and few others.

Recently i met Lav Diaz and that really change the way i perceive story and the feeling on how to tell them, and i think that you dont need to meet him to grasp the same point he was giving to me, if you watch his movies you still see it because he is his movies in a way.

So generally if i watch a movie and i see that is just made to sell merch or show that is good because it's well executed (especially if there is no message behind) i cant perceive it honestly even if everybody agrees that is good

Any movie with Will Ferrell in it, I absolutely cannot stand the guy. I don't know why, it's just that his voice irritates me to no end, and I will not watch anything he is in, regardless of how much praise the movie receives.

Interstellar. Everybody high praises it for being a very intelectual movie, but just a boring movie for me.

it seems everytime nolan releases a film people wanna kiss his ass , he's probably a nice guy but it feels like he's constantly telling his audience "look how clever i am"
