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
Even Nolan admitted he fucked up with the action scenes in
Batman Begins. I don't hate BB exactly, but is the least re-watchable of the trilogy to me, and tends to drag on way too long.
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.
Tarantino's main problem as well, is that he thinks he's "discovered" these films and made them "relevant again". No, you're just pulling a
Family Guy and hope people, mainly cinephiles, get your references or be impressed.
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.
Will Ferrell plays the same screaming man child nearly every single time. The only time I liked him is in
The Other Guys. Otherwise, I wanted nothing do with them, and Hollywood was desperate to make him the next big comedy thing, and shove him down people's throats throughout the 2000s.
Interstellar. Everybody high praises it for being a very intelectual movie, but just a boring movie for me.
Aside from the
Dark Knight Trilogy, I do not like any of Nolan's other films. He's literally Micheal Bay for "smart people".
Anything by James Cameron starting at
Titanic and afterward. The guy sold out years ago, and has no problem supporting AI bullshit. Titanic is a shitty romance movie, that focuses on two leads who are not that interesting, and should have been about several characters on the ship, and not just Jack and Rose.
Avatar (2009) and its sequels are shitty versions of
Princess Mononoke, Dances With Wolves, and
Ferngully. The fact people got shocked or disappointed with the third film, shows how blind sided they made themselves into thinking these films are "original masterpieces", or that copying everything and making the 3D unique for the time is okay. The first film is nothing more than a glorified tech demo for real 3D glasses. A gimmick that got old real fast in the mid 2010s. Not to mention, so many other CGI films have copied
Avatar's techniques and motion capture work, nothing unique stand out about it anymore since the mid to late 2010s.
Any Oscar bait films I go out of my way to avoid in general.
