Not just posting to be controversial, I genuinely wasn't that taken with it, in spite of the mind blowing visuals. My movie of 2013 vote would have to go to Captain Phillips.

Contrarian. Your tv should be put out of its misery.

Lost in translation
The Hurt Locker
The Social Network (didn't hate it just....average)
Moulin Rouge (is this loved ? I don't know)
Dead Poets Society
Sense and sensibility
LA Confidential
Crouching tiger, hidden dragon
Million Dollar Baby

To be fair, I don't hate these films, Im just nonplussed about them.

Django Unchained. The film isn't bad, but it's way over hyped.

So most films basically

Default Re: Films you hate or don't like that everyboy likes

Harry Twatter god awful child actors, hammy thespians and terrible plots
The Titanic (am I allowed to hate a film I've never seen? I have no desire to ever watch it though.)
Pretty Woman how I hate Julia Roberts, it's nice to know she's a horrible human being in real life too
The Green Mile sentimental bilge plus Tom Hanks, what's to like?
Saving Private Ryan sentimental bilge plus Tom Hanks
Forrest Gump sentimental bilge plus Tom Hanks, hmm I see a pattern emerging
Kill Bill (both) love Quentin but these are really overrated imho
Rainman hammy acting. You just have to play a mentally challenged/handicapped person (badly) to win an oscar it seems, or be a straight actor playing a gay character especially if you are dying of aids. Tom Hanks Philladelphia?

I heard a few other people say they didn't particularly like it.

I don't really like any Marvel superhero film, or any film like that really. Just makes me laugh seeing people dressed up in hilarious costumes taking everything really seriously.

A film I saw recently was The Rock. People kept saying how great it was, so I watched it. Just typical Hollywood drivel, with Nicolas Cage.

Also, anything with Nicolas Cage.

I've never really liked the Godfather films all that much, despite being a fan of that genre.

I don't particularly care for any of the Harry Potter films either.

I agree about Lars von Trier. Every few years he releases some transparent attempt at trolling the chattering classes, and every few years the liberal press gets itself in a fluster and gives him attention. Ignore him and he'll go away.

^ It's probably not the film's fault actually but the context in which I saw it which is a bit hard to explain here as it would get quite longwinded but basically I had a friend who was a thespian who liked shouting at and humiliating waiters in cafes if he thought they were 'straights' or whatever and he was just so smug about how much he 'was' Withnail. I suppose I just wasn't in the mood for that sort of character when I had to deal with all that sort of thing but without any of the wit or charm in real life.

Hope that explains it to your satisfaction!!

none of the pathos either I imagine. And that explains it very well, I think that would make it difficult for me to enjoy the film too

The Godfather - have tried to watch the first one, but it is just so boring. Have never got more than about 20 minutes in before having to switch off.

Default Re: Films you hate or don't like that everyboy likes

Reservoir Dogs - nothing happens in the entire film apart from an ear being removed
LA Confidential - boring
Beetlejuice - this is the sort of film I would normally love. But I don't like it for some reason. I think because of the character Beetlejuice. Normally I love dark, strange comedy so I feel a bit confused not liking this.
The Incredibles - I usually love Pixar. Well, before they got crappy and just stated spouting out rubbish remakes anyway (Cars 2 and Monsters University I'm looking at you). But I never liked The Incredibles. I found it pretty boring and unoriginal for them. Very average film and I expected more.

P.S. I just looked up a list of the top 100 films to see if I could add any others. Frickin' Avatar was on there. I'm sorry, but no way in HELL is that one of the best ever films! The 3D was pretty, sure. And it had a pretty forest, but the plot could have been written by a child. Unless this counts as one of the films that I thought was rubbish but others liked?

YES times a billion!!! I've heard people go on about what legends they are so there are people who enjoy those films and pay to see them unfortunately....

The other day I went to the cinema and there were THREE Marvel films shown in the trailers (out of 4/5 films). One starred a CGI raccoon or something so you can tell they are really scrapping the barrel now.
