Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

i read this and nobody wrote about Shutter Island? it was so so bad i hated it. I hated how people said it was so clever. it was one of the only movies that I spotted continuity errors and mistakes on the first watch in the theatre. and I do NOT believe those mistakes were intentional. the movie was so obvious is the "clever bits" that it tried to do that these mistakes were just not in the same lane. the movie tried to be an Aranovsky movie, but Scorcese is not that director.

To me the "clever bits" felt like Scorsese watched Memento or The Sixth Sense and thought "I can do that".

The joy of those movies is watching a second or third time and seeing it all differently, and you don't do that with Shutter Island. You spot it all the first time through.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. What a stupidly overrated movie.

I honestly can't stand the vast majority of popular movies. They also keep getting longer and longer, and I already struggle to sit through an hour and a half long movie

Nosferatu, the one that just came out, is very well done. It's also just Nosferatu: Again.

I was very bored watching the movie because it's the same story I've heard before many times. Those 2 hours and 12 minutes dragged hard.

Jurassic Park.

It's just jump scares and dinos running around. That's it.

Hated everything about it. Predictable all the way through the big reveal at the end. I don't understand the appeal.

Twister.

The movie is like a big turkey dinner meal and Ambien to me. I have fell asleep trying to watch it at least 3x... now I own the movie and if I am super restless I will put it on to sleep.
