Movies You Dont Understand Why Everyone Raves About Them

[HevyDevy]

I don't give a sh*t what movies people like or dislike - all personal taste - but how anyone could say that Ledger's performance wasn't brilliant in The Dark Knight is clinically idiotic.

I actually watched that movie expecting to be let down after all the hype but Ledger blew me away. The movie itself is nothing special but Ledger was superb. Fact.

 

[Eelementary]

District 9 - generic and formulaic.

Philadelphia - sh*t.

Any of the Rambo films - I always preferred Arnie and Bruce Willies tbh

 

[HevyDevy]

Anything with Nicole Kidman in it ... except for The Others and BMX Bandits.

Mark Hamill is the only one who's ever come close to portraying the Joker properly ie Maniacally.

Ledger was just kinda menacing. There was never any moments in the film where he was ecstatically happy. Sure he smiled evilly a few times, and over all did a pretty good job - but im yet to see anyone give a performance that portrays the comic book Joker.

 

[HevyDevy]

He wasn't supposed to portray the comic book joker.

 

[Mr Saab]

Lord of the Rings
Matrix series
Harry f**king Potter

*High Five weasal*

If there's any one movie that deserves a nomination it's Juno. From it's over the top attempt at being Indie to it's unlikable characters I just found the movie to be far too pretentious in trying to portray how Indie it is.

*double high five*

Word.

To this day I still don't understand the hype. The highly rated soundtrack is average as well.

Garden State or Nick & Norah's Soundtrack > Juno.

 

[Bastard Squad]

There's something about Mary.

Why do people rave about it ? Full of cliched bathroom jokes.

 

[Steel Dragon]

He wasn't supposed to portray the comic book joker.

And that is why his performance was substandard

And that is why his performance was substandard

Most people probably haven't read the comics and thus couldn't give a f**k about the comic book Joker tbh

 

[Mr Angry]

There will be blood.

Some seem to like it.

I found it tedious, boring and want my three hours back.

A movie about a cold, murdering merkin. Was named movie of the decade - FFS.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Juno, Before seeing it I was told it would be one of the funniest movies I would ever sit through. Absolute snoozefest!

 

[Frailty]

i agree. I could only stand his voice for 5 minutes and cracked the sh*ts.

Umm... That's because Capote actually had a voice like that? It's a bit harsh to criticise the film based on a person for actually been realistic...

Perhaps you would have wanted him to sound like Barry White and then kill everyone in the movie?

Napoleon Dynamite - What a piece of sh*t that is... I really feel like punching the people who recommended it... Pretty sure I have to some.

Oh and I quite liked Juno and Bladerunner... I know Juno was presented as this 'look I'm indie' film, but I thought it was really well written with some great characters and good plot.

Bladerunner I hated at first... But there is a lot to love about that movie, even just for the dialogue towards the end (i.e. "All these moments fade, like tears in the rain").

Oh and V For Vendetta was really well cast I thought. The storyline keeps to the comic, but the casting was fantastic. Namely the vice-chancellor who played Winston in the film adaptation of 1984 (of which V For Vendetta almost parallels in setting).

The amazing Tenebaums.
Terrible movie.

Pirates of the Carribean movies, all suck.

Sex & the city, Ive never seen it, but seeing as Im a guy I think its justified on this list.

 

[McLovin]

Hit me back if you know wtf Donnie Darko was about...

 

[McLovin]

Sin City
The Number 23
Dark Knight

Not that i didnt understand these movies. I just dont think theyre worth the jizz everybody kept throwing around when they came out. Maybe not so much The Number 23, but the other two are quite woeful imo...

 

[McLovin]

Same with Watchmen...

 

[HevyDevy]

Hit me back if you know wtf Donnie Darko was about...

I do, but only after watching it with director's commentary. I still liked it though - very dark, ironically.

Anyway, I agree with the Matrix. What a crock of sh*t those films were. I still have no idea what was going on - possibly because I was bored sh*tless.

 

[Non Terminator]

I didn't mind Number 23. Some parts went way too off track.

 

[Echo-The-Tiger]

I do, but only after watching it with director's commentary. I still liked it though - very dark, ironically.

After watching it multiple times I've still got NFI, what's it about?

District 9 is a movie I'd nominate.

Also, is Number 23 the Jim Carey movie?
