it isn't rubbish but over-hyped imo.

Not if you switch it off after the 1st half.

sure. Stanley Kubrick is such a mediocre director, isn't he.

Its quite the same thing with Reverse Bukkake 9 too. No dramatic turns whatsoever and i hate when you can see the red thread just after 2 minutes.

Anyone taken a piece of Godfather yet?
I still love and praise that movie, would be interresting to hear someone sh*t all over it.


Dogville.
Its an easy target but nevertheless complete and utter rubbish. A crime and a shallow abomination to the entire universe. And that prick wannabe-uncomfortable- and 'they are not going to be able to dismiss it'-Trier.
Starship Troopers 3 has more integrity and truth in it.

As much as i love the Godfather trilogy I should have never re-watched it after 6 seasons of Sopranos. Made it look like a fucking joke full of cliches.

I'd disagree about Dogville. I liked it. Dancer In The Dark on the other hand drove me up the wall and I wanted to leave early...

Re: Films that get critical acclaim but are rubbish!

automa> to me Godfather isnt a trilogy since a 3rd good movie was never made.

I cant possibly see how you find Dogville watchable but that is whats so funny with these threads, that people actually disagree on these simple things and just dont say they do just to make it funnier.

I've always found it pretty useless to try to convince people on the opposite of what they think so i'll give it a rest even before it starts to annoying me.

And here comes todays sacriliege i guess.
I have only watched 7-8 episodes of Sopranos before i found it pretty boring and decided not to give it a fair chance. But i started watching the first episodes when it had ran for several years so i guess i think my expectations killed it.

I would never try to convince anybody on here otherwise regarding their taste in movies.

But I find it quite interesting how differently movies can affect somebody on an emotional and intellectual level. The topic of the thread is movies that found critical acclaim but are considered rubbish by individual posters on here. I am wondering what critical acclaim actually is. Is there a secret circle of film experts that give it a quality stamp? Is it awards?

Said that I'd like to add my own personal heresy of the day: Eraserhead is a crapper of a film. That I found unwatchable. I might give it another try someday but my first attempt failed miserably.

Re: Films that get critical acclaim but are rubbish!

People's likes and dislike are obviously subjective and world where everyone agrees is a boring one.

There are peopl on this forum who like all sorts of things; films, typography, graphics, hardware etc etc

What critical acclaim suggests is also subjective! It could be awards, it could be overwhelming support from the mainstream cultural media; film reviewers, mgazines, critics etc

The origins of this thread came from the fact that I saw the Joy Divison film 'Control' and was utterly appalled by how bad it was. I could not believe the reviews i subsequently read pre and post watching the film. Had they seen the same film? I had not read, of have since come across, a mainstream negative critique of the film! and what I mean by mainstream is published magazines and newspapers with a wide circulation.
