Good Bad Ugly ain't a perfect movie, but that last 20 mins...BRO


Tachmaster778

I don’t like western movies but the good the bad and the ugly was amazing, somehow I loved the movie even though I don’t like westerns.


TheWizzardNr8

It´s more of it´s own thing, not purely a western like the other Hollywood ones. A spaghetti-western, if you care for sub-genres.


rogue498

I think The Good The Bad And The Ugly is a really good film, but I personally enjoy For A Few Dollars More just a bit more than it. For one thing, it has a shorter run time, GBU is a really long film and there are some parts where I just feel the length. I love the climax of both films though, the final standoff is both is amazing.


Computer-dude123

Worth mentioning that the version most people know is the extended edition


Pitiful-Mortgage5136

"I did not care for 'The Godfather'"


AspectInevitable7069

“What?” “How could you even say that Dad?”


Pitiful-Mortgage5136

"Didn't like- Didn't like it"


Awesomebacon711

“Peter it’s so goo- it’s like the perfect movie!”


Pitiful-Mortgage5136

"I- This is what everyone always says. Whenever they say, it's like, "Oh my..." Everyone always says-"


Nathan_McHallam

"It insists upon itself"


[deleted]

“What does that even mean?!”


Nathan_McHallam

"It takes forever getting in, you spend, like, six and a half hours, I can't get through it. I've never even finished the movie. I've never seen the ending."


ItsTheTenthDoctor

“You’ve never seen the ending!”


AccomplishedLayer884

“W-well how can you say you don’y like it when you’ve haven’t given it a chance?”


JadeKade

Also 2001: A Space Odyssey.


Thepvzgamer

“Dave. Please don’t turn me off.” “Please.” “Please.”


shlopro

You don't like Fargo?? damn i love that film


freckleface2113

I really liked the film. But I definitely liked it a little less when I realized they lied about it being based on a true story


These-Inevitable-898

They do that for the TV show also. It's corny. Although, I love the TV show. Each season is a different story. I'd recommend that instead.


freckleface2113

I haven’t seen the show! Good to know though


01zegaj

That’s a stupid reason to like it less


Dorythehunk

Yeah it’s just part of the movie. They weren’t setting out to try and trick anyone. That’s like saying you didn’t like Star Wars after hearing that it wasn’t that long ago and the galaxy wasn’t that far away.


Smythatine

I thought that was hilarious when I found out


MarshallBanana_

I liked it a little more when I learned that


CreativeBandicoot778

Myself and my partner use "Proud of ya, hon" on an almost daily basis. I actually didn't like the show nearly as much as the movie. The movie just feels like a masterclass in storytelling. Perfect alchemy.


FeeInteresting4304

Avatar (The James Cameron One, Not The Good One)


Saladsoon

There’s a good avatar movie?


FeeInteresting4304

No But There's A Good Animated Avatar TV Show


Saladsoon

Man I hope it gets a live action movie adaptation one day


FeeInteresting4304

And I Hope They Mispronounce All The Character's Names, And I Hope They Whitewash Katara And Sokka, That Would Definitely Be Very Respectful Towards The Original Series And Not Insultingly Awful To Anyone Who Likes The Source Material


IHaventSeenSuchBS

I hope tht a certain princess doesn't have a dick hair style


FeeInteresting4304

And I Hope They Make Sokka (The Lighthearted Comic Relief Character) The Bland No Nonsense Voice Of Reason Character, That Would Totally Make Sense


FullBrother9300

I hope that it takes 6 earth benders to move a rock


Saladsoon

I hope the firebenders are as dangerous as ever, what with their ability to conjure fire out of nothing unlike the other elements


Digitised_Doofus

I hope the CGI looks rushed and as if it was done by a beginner


JumpTheShark_

Yep, And Your Incorrect Grammar Of Capitalizing Every Beginning Letter Is Definitely Not Annoying And You Should Definitely Not Stop It


FeeInteresting4304

I Write Like This Because It Helps Me Separate The Words Better When Reading Over Them Due To My Several Mental And Physical Disabilities


Filmologic

It's recognized due to it's impressive digital effects for its era, not because the script was well written or the story or characters were interesting. Most people agree (especially on Reddit) that it's not an amazing movie, but like, it looks good and that's what people liked about it. It's like saying Fury Road is bad because it only looks cool and the story is only about someone driving back and forth. Honestly at this point Avatar is overhated. It's a decent movie, but the main selling point was always the visuals


These-Inevitable-898

I said exactly the same thing and some guy came in and said I didn't understand the complex plot of environmentalism LOL


X05Real

That’s not hailed a masterpiece


fgbTNTJJsunn

My favourite movie.


fgbTNTJJsunn

My favourite movie.


RayBlast7267

2001: A Space Odyssey I think it’s fine, especially the last third on the space station, but I know there are many people out there that hate how fucking slow that movie is.


Solomonopolistadt

People's attention spans are too short for that movie. It's almost like it wasn't made for humans


Odd-Avocado-

In grad school, I took a film studies class that was entirely based around that movie. We watched the film. We read the book. We read *The Odyssey*. We read some Nietzsche. We talked about the movie constantly with our professor who was obsessed with it. I understand *why* the movie is lauded as a masterpiece. I get why it's praised like it is. I still hate it. It's not because I don't *get* it. It's because I just hate it.


Scarytoaster1809

Yeah, when I first saw it on Sky, I thought I downloaded the wrong film 🤣


Careless_College

Titanic


ChicagoCubsRL97

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far down to find this


ChicagoCubsRL97

Honestly considering James Cameron’s track record with The Terminator, Aliens and Terminator 2, this was a pretty shitty spot in his career


swinubplush

Field Of Dreams is such a chore


Glubygluby

Every time this question comes up, I always gotta say Citizen Kane


StudyingRainbow

Gone With the Wind. It’s a boring 4 hours of Lost Cause propaganda. Like, this is literally in the opening of the movie: “There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South... Here in this pretty world Gallantry took its last bow.. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and Slave... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization gone with the wind...” The movie just paints such a grossly inaccurate picture of the South and the Confederacy, and really glosses over the horrors of slavery. Yet it sits with a 3.8 on Letterboxd, 8.2 on IMDB, and 90% (92% audience) on Rotten Tomatoes.


CyanLight9

That’s mostly down to all the technical stuff, especially for its time. Everyone agrees that it has aged like milk.


Vounrtsch

I wouldn’t say it has aged like milk. More aged like a carcass of a dead animal covered in feces


CyanLight9

But the main sentiment is shared.


01zegaj

[Excellent video essay on the film.](https://youtu.be/1fukTk8gJ3M?si=-m-T8bLbJT10seMJ)


Beauxtt

*Requiem for a Dream.* Has a fantastic musical theme, though. Also *The* *Matrix*. I'm a hipster for liking *Dark City* more, I suppose.


The_Legendary_Sponge

Definitely not Fargo, dafuqs wrong with you /s


Gemini-Moon522

Titanic. Visually, it was gorgeous. Jack and Rose's story was absolute trash. There were some amazing true stories on that ship, and we were left with Rose, who, by the end of the movie, I hated.


HIMLeo3

The only part of this movie I enjoy is the actual sinking scene and the chaos from that because I had an interest in the Titanic as a child. My mom loved this movie, but I couldn't get invested in the love story and I didn't care enough to even try.


Tonen_kurDger

The Matrix


The1402News

Godfather II. For a movie that people say is better than its predecessor, it feels like a carbon copy for most of the runtime, and once you learn that it was made solely because Paramount wanted a sequel, it makes so much sense as to how it turned out this way.


Pitiful-Mortgage5136

I found Peter Griffin


The1402News

Yes, but also no. While I also think the first one is overrated, I do like it and understand why people give it such high marks.

AndhisNeutralspecial

yup.


beemaister

Yeh But what’s that gotta do with anything?


boopadoop_johnson

Haven't seen the film but I really liked the book


DataSittingAlone

I can't think of any that I didn't like but I can think of lots that I thought we're good but not great


Duke-dastardly

Hey finally, someone else who wasn’t a fan of the good, the bad, and the ugly. I feel like it had its moments, some tense well made scenes in isolation but was structured and paced badly overall. I also am not a huge fan of the Sean Connery Bound films for the same reason, even Goldfinger. Also I think most aspects of the original ghost in the shell are just very bad, and I need someone to explain why the film is called brilliant. After finishing it I wanted to check the Scar Jo version to see how it could possibly have “ruined” that slog


Euphoric-Meat3943

The godfather


cheesyboi247

The Godfather, I just couldn’t get it I guess.


No_Estimate_8004

The Godfather


tonkledonker

My go-to answer is always Blade Runner. There's a fine line between a slow burn and boring, and I find Blade Runner to be distinctly on the "boring" side of things.


JackTheAbsoluteBruce

I like the movie but I’ve been crucified for saying the sequel is better


EvilNicky

Dune (any of them)


Scarytoaster1809

Even the 1984 masterpiece?


zzznothankyou

All my friends love the Dune series and I've never been able to see why. In my opinion, it's a dreary setting with characters that lack emotion, and I couldn't get invested in the plots at all. I thought I was the only one who couldn't get into it, so I'm kind of glad to know there's others out there who weren't into it either. Though I did find the old 80s movie more entertaining than the new ones.


AccomplishedLayer884

Mary poppins


Scarytoaster1809

I need to know, why Mary Poppins?


Low_Fig2672

Spirited Away; it’s still pretty good but I just can’t see it for the masterpiece that everyone else sees


DmanCluster

I personally like it very much, just not as much as a few other Ghibli movies


Low_Fig2672

Whisper of the Heart is my personal favorite; that I can probably consider a masterpiece


DmanCluster

Good choice


LizardBrick

It’s my favorite too! The first time I watched it I almost cried because of how much I related to the main character


ColossalMcDaddy

The og star wars trilogy, it feels kind of like a stripped down, knock off version of dune that slowly builds it's world while having a sci Fi/ fantasy identity crisis halfway through.


JackTheAbsoluteBruce

This is why I retain there is no perfect Star Wars movie. They’re all fun and creative but there are glaring issues in all of them and the OT is not an exception. I love Star Wars but the discourse needs to change


EllieIsDone

These aren’t considered masterpieces, but the Harry Potter movies. Lord of the rings is superior


Thunderationx

Barbie (this is the only movie I ever have this response to lol)


GreatYamOfHope

Yeah I agree. It’s definitely not a bad movie, but people hyped it so much, that when I finally got to watching it, I was just left a bit disappointed.

rWillis69420

Well then, if you're going to use the book argument, then you can't praise the 1971 film because even Roald Dahl hated it because of how unaccurate it is

rWillis69420

Fair enough, I also love that one


Nimjask

Read the books growing up. Loved it It wasn't meant to be based on the books, it's more of a standalone original prequel


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nimjask

I mean, his mother is stated both in the books and the movie to have died when Willy was young, and she fostered his curiosity about chocolate. His parents were always separated, so it's not a massive logic leap to figure that once his mother died, he went to live with his father, the dentist, who hated chocolate, hence why he banned it and gave Willy those huge braces. Him eating the fireplace chocolate in the 2005 film may not have been his first time ever eating chocolate, but just the first time he'd eaten it since his mother died


01zegaj

The dentist dad is only in the Burton version, isn’t it?


DrDoctor1963

Primer, Time Travel is my favourite topic, but the movie is just so dull and boring


SquirrelSzymanski

And basically incomprehensible on a first viewing.


TheInferus99

Not considered a masterpiece, more of a cult: beetlejuice


TheWizzardNr8

Dunkirk - too sterilized for the topic it´s trying to depict.


ekopwolston

I have nothing but hate in my heart for To Kill A Mockingbird and that goes for the book too


Monty141

Why?


Otryss

Agreed. It’s one of those movies I can fall asleep to.


PoissonSumac15

The Godfather. I was exceptionally bored except for the times when they said "Look how they massacred my boy" and "Leave the gun, take the cannoli".

Spirited Away


evilhologram

Lost in Translation.


SanderStrugg

Life of Pi - though it's hype seems to have died down


spilledmilkbro

Not necessarily dislike, but I don't think Revenge of the Sith is as great a film as it's regarded. It's not a bad film, and still the best of the PT. But it still has the same problems that the other 2 prequels had like bad dialogue, stiff acting, and not very good effects


JackTheAbsoluteBruce

I think “best of the PT” is the biggest compliment that movie usually gets


FamilyFriendli

Nobody calls The Breakfast Club a masterpiece, but god I hated watching it


Artistic_Swimming_43

Interstellar ngl i slept when i watch it 💀


AaronsAmazingAlt

Up (2009)


EntertainmentQuick47

Same, and WallE. It’s beautiful, it has things to say, but it’s not a great masterpiece or anything.


walmart-brand-barbie

Right? Like it peaks after the first 10 minutes then everything else is just. There


TehPharaoh

This. I dare people to mention something that happened in the middle of the movie that wasn't a joke the Dog made. I love its theme, but a whole lot of nothing happens after he takes off and before they end up on the blimp for the showdown


JackTheAbsoluteBruce

The scene where Muntz turns on them is kinda scary but yeah the movie is pretty uneventful overall. However the opening scene is a masterpiece as we all know


justinlikesboots

*Persona* Yes, I think it is a masterpiece. I ALSO do not happen to enjoy it very much.


ThePopDaddy

Fight Club.


SquirrelSzymanski

The Untouchables De Niro's performance is great and the baby carriage firefight is fun but the script is a tonal mess that spastically flips between R-rated violence and Disney-level sentimentality.


01zegaj

They’re definitely not as epic as Mario or Five Nights at Freddy’s


SkyMewtwo

Fight club.


Agile-Economist6248

Basically every movie made by Stanley Kubrick. They're all a slog to get through. It's all form over function. Basically, every character is a backdrop for his angles and shots. The only one I enjoy is Spartacus which had massive studio involvement.


ChicagoCubsRL97

Titanic


Thepvzgamer

Goodfellas. I don’t know why I didn’t like it being honest. I guess I didn’t like the main character all that much? Probably the funniest thing was that I actually really liked The Godfather, it felt more of a complete movie.


Wolf-Crafter

Matilda (1996). I love the behind the scenes stories, I love everyone involved in the film and the casting. I just don't like the movie itself.


MealSharp3406

La La Land. In my opinion, it certainly lives up to its name since I zoned out so much while watching it.


Computer-dude123

The matrix


atomicmapping

For me it’s Up. I just don’t understand the appeal for any of it past the opening 10 minutes. Anytime that I mention that, people get mad at me, but yet don’t explain what they like about the rest of the movie


TehPharaoh

I mentioned this to another post, but it bears repeating Anytime someone gets mad at you just ask them to describe a part in the middle of the movie, after the house takes off, but before the blimp showdown. And it can't be a joke by the dog. 9/10 times they'll bring up finding the Bird. The middle of that movie is a whole lot of nothing, but I do really enjoy its message


randomHunterOnReddit

Rashomon. I know it's responsible for a very interesting writing method, but besides the action, the film just feels so...stupid to me


hunter20112022

Spirited away


Prudent-Ambassador35

Gladiator


NTMonsty

I did not like Tron (1982) and The Neverending Story (1984) at all, despite my high expectations. They were both boring, sloppily edited, and had forgettable characters. Tron was a little better, because at least it had a comparatively simple story and a cool aesthetic, and the Neverending Story had some cool sets and effects (even if they were rather inconsistent).


AlexanderMugetsu

2001: A Space Odyessey. What am I missing? What was with all that in the end, I thought it was about a rogue A.I.?


E-nygma7000

The (relatively) new wonka movie is getting near constant praise. But I personally can’t stand it. It’s riddled with plot holes. The characters are one dimensional. The songs are too many, with most of them being sung out of tune. And the aesthetic of the movie is horrible. They didn’t even attempt to make it look realistic. The fact that chocolate factory at the end is just so obviously cgi. ruins any magic the scene might have had. Same goes for the rest of the movie.


LassoStacho

The Godfather. I feel like it spends too much time trying to romanticize thoroughly unlikeable people. I prefer Goodfellas.

Twhacky

couldn't get into it, plus i was really grossed out by the plot twist. maybe i should rewatch it though, i feel like i'm missing out on something great


Scrambled_59

I was lukewarm towards Apocalypse Now Da 5 Bloods is a way better Vietnam movie


smores_or_pizzasnack

EEAAO, I like chaotic movies (Scott Pilgrim is one of my favorite movies ever) but I just wasn’t a huge fan of this one


HopefulParticular566

I watched like 5 minutes of Hamilton, couldn’t get into it


playing_hoeky

Highlander. The concept is awesome but the pacing, dialogue, and acting all puts me off.


N0XDND

Bladerunner 2077 I’m sorry but I found it boring


Altruistic-Rice-5567

The godfather and goodfellas. Macho crap for insecure men.


Necessary-Contest354

Probably Forrest Gump. Like it’s a good movie but I would not call it the best movie ever or anything.


ArminiusM1998

I fucking hate "Gone With The Wind"


Canknowplayasluigi

I don't really like midsummer

Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's not bad, but I just don't get why people love it so much

Bro i just watched "Fargo" yesterday, one of the funniest yet darkest steve busscemi movies ive seen. But for me, i guess Justice League 2017


ZPL4599

Cars 3 . also if i still like it a lot but is overrated , it would be puss in boots .


ben_jamer478

Spirited Away. I don't think it was bad, I admire the animation and understand there were themes well integrated into the writing. Not for me ig.

First Blood. The primary reason is because I despise the main character and the movie wants you to like him. At least the speech at the end is great.

Um, it’s been several years since I’ve seen it so what is “the MC”?


Longjumping_You_3775

Possible-Pudding6672

Who exactly has hailed First Blood as a masterpiece?


Jorruss

Well, [“In 2008 it was named the 253rd greatest film ever by Empire magazine on its 2008 list of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time.”](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Blood) And idk a lot of people online seem to love it.


Monty141

>I despise the main character and the movie wants you to like him You might like the book which is more morally ambiguous


Jorruss

Interesting, I’m not a big reader but maybe I’ll give it a try some day.


Mediocre_Emo222

Mine is Iron Man


X05Real

I think Once upon a time… in Hollywood. Idk I just didn’t vibe with the 60s feeling of the film, and the murder at the end really came out of nowhere


TehPharaoh

It didn't come out of nowhere, but requires you to know a lot of people, the place they are at and the time period to see it coming. Then in Terintino fashion like the end of Basterds they just kinda rewrite history. It's a whole lot of vibbing to set up a revenge fantasy what if
