FabSwingers.com forum: Films others rave about...but you think are awful

By *emini Man OP Man
over a year ago

There and to the left a bit

Off the back of the worst film thread, and also prompted by one I started to watch at the weekend - what films have you seen that others absolutely rave about but just do nothing for you...a few to get you started...

Deadpool - this was the film I started to watch at the weekend and turned off after 30 minutes, just didn't "get" it, didn't find it funny at all - some of the action sequences were ok but that was about it.

Bladerunner - a cult classic for some but did nothing for me

Carlito's Way - critically acclaimed but found it boring and tedious

"Life of Pi"

This I agree on. Some people say it has some spiritual symbolism but all I see is some kid on a boat with a tiger.

When I saw your thread title I immediately thought "Deadpool". I suffered the whole way through it because everyone raved about it and I thought a hilarious bit was just about to come up. I only smiled once (didn't laugh once) and that was at the end.

Saw Venom last week which is a similar style film - thought it was fantastic.

Bound to be an unpopular opinion now as it goes against universal critical opinion but........Apocalypse Now.

Whilst I didn’t actually hate it as such, I did nonetheless find it to be grossly overrated and entirely overblown.

Then again, aside from The Godfather trilogy, I am not exactly a fan of Francis Ford Coppola in general and find the religious like praise for him, baffling at best and somewhat irritating at worst.

Hefty Hideaway

Bridesmaids. All the hype when it came out made me look forward to it. Sadly it was absolute tosh.

"The greatest showman.

Yawwwwwnnnn

La la land utter tosh.

Mamma Mia. Oh my god I wanted to put my head in a microwave oven after ten minutes.

No need for that. Just put on an Abba album and make a microwave meal. If you want Abba, you cant beat Muriels Wedding. Love that film and not just because of the music."
prcilla Queen of the desert is the same, definitely big in Australia are ABBA. Love that film. The ping-pong ball sce e is legendary

I nearly started crying blood throughout that film. Awful.

"I didn’t like Gravity.

Two hours of watching Sandra Bullock floating around in space simply bored me. I don’t understand why it was so hyped!"

I watched it in 3D at the cinema - and visually it was great - but you're right, take the stunning visuals away and it wasn't much cop.

"I tried to like DeadPool, I really did.

After 20mins I was grinding my teeth and had to turn it off.

Not for me."

As my OP said Deadpool was the film that prompted this thread - had high expectations based on what others had said - lasted 10 minutes longer than you and found myself concentrating more and more on my tablet than watching the film - found it irritating and completely unfunny

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Never really got it and I don't like the songs in it. I just don't understand why it's so popular.
