re: Name a movie that everyone you know loves, but you absolutely hate

Mad Max

The worst movie I've watched in a long time.

Mad Max Fury Road is decent but it is absolutely overrated.

I disliked Arrival but everyone seems to love it. Villeneuve is up there with Nolan for me after Prisoners and Sicario but that movie just really missed the mark for me.

Also, I've always thought the Bourne Ultimatum was extremely boring.

Hate is a strong word, and there are very few movies that I actually came away hating

So I'll go will disliked or overrated:

Sully (watched this last week and it felt like I was watching Hanks in a lifetime movie)
The Martian
Avatar
Majaority of Wes Anderson movies
95% of comic book movies

The Sound of Music

Agree. Just don't get the appeal.

My answer is Djano Unchained. Utter crap. Felt like Tarantino trying to beg forgiveness for using the n word too much in his earlier films.

I don't get people who try to look way too far into things like this.

Never once during the movie did I stop and think "you know what, I bet Tarantino is just making a movie where this black slave escapes because he used the n word in other movies" and for that reason I think this movie is utter crap.... Even tho he had white people using the n word like 137 times during said movie and had slaves literally beating another's brains in and one getting eaten by a dog...

the movie was utter crap because it was a one trick gimmick with minimal plot based around cartoonish violence. Awful screenplay. Also, Samuel L's character was one of the most annoying in recent cinematic history. My other observation was a side note to why I disliked this movie. Were we supposed to cheer when he blows away the white lady at the end?

I know it won all those awards, and I can't fathom why other than Tarantino has garnered such a reputation that he can put out anything purporting to be daring and critics will fawn over it. To me Django was nothing but a one dimensional juvenile revenge fantasy. I wasn't bothered by the violence per se (because he traditionally uses it to great effect), but I was bothered by the fact that the violence was the entire movie. There was no trademark Tarantino wit or cleverness in the dialogue in my opinion, no exposition, hardly any character development. He resorted to cheap little flashbacks to drum up the paper thin relationship between Django and his wife. Leo's character was badly underused.. I really didn't like the pacing of the 'story' at all. Look at it next to Pulp Fiction and tell me it deserves to be mentioned in the same light. I'll agree with you on the Walton Goggins count though
