Re: Films that get critical acclaim but are rubbish!

I agree on basically all mentioned here, most i couldnt have said better big_smile

But maybe especially reqiem for a dream...jeesh that was bad. But ass to ass, i still remember that scene. I know its supposed to be tragic but sometimes when im suddenly reminded of it i can not help but chuckle a lil bit

78% on rotten tomatoes spells critical acclaim.

I think Requiem very cheap. Did anyone see 'the fountain'?

Uh yeah, and PI wasnt very good either really, it becomes really dumb pretty fast.

I laughed at that part too, sort of a "ffs" laugh. I just found the movie relentlessly unentertaining

Re: Films that get critical acclaim but are rubbish!

I disagree with almost the entire thread. I dont care about hypes, I just like movies and even though some are very overrated (dances with wolves, kill bill) I still think they were hugely entertaining. But then again I like most movies especially B to Z -grade rubbish.

Indeed! Never liked this movie. I think its crap!

and Quentin Tarantino is crap too. Also the whole fake and constructed pseudocult around his
movies, even before they are released... I get cramps!

Re: Films that get critical acclaim but are rubbish!

strange - I like a lot of movies mentioned here (Control, Fight Club, Natural Born Killers, Dogville, Fargo...some Tarantino, some Lynch movies) - must be something wrong with me.

Most Woody Allen stuff where he is acting is overrated for me.
A lot of French Film Noir are overrated. They are boring and suck big time.
I wouldn't even watch the last movies directed by Clint Eastwood.

German movies are generally overrated, but we really don't make any good ones :-(
