Put me down for boyhood as well. I wanted to like it, but just couldn’t.

If it wasn’t filmed over a 12 year period would anyone give a shite?

Argo was ok, but really overrated and not close to zero dark thirty.

Avatar is an awful movie that relies on graphics and 3D effects instead of an interesting plot or an original story.

Wouldn't call any of them bad movies, just didn't like them:

Toy Story 2 and 3

Django Unchained

In Bruges (I would call this one terrible)

The Social Network

Moulin Rouge!

Shakespeare in Love

Maybe I'm too much of a commoner, but I watch movies to be entertained. Not to have some existential awakening. I can't even name most of those films, but they so thoroughly bored me, I switched them off.
That includes a fair number of Oscar Best Pictures.

The Diving Bell & The Butterfly

I get it that it was to put you locked inside his head, and show you his caged experience..but f@ck me! What a torturous few hours of boredom sans his great love remembrances....

ESAR..ESAR..just shoot me already!

For a movie that made billions it’s kind of forgotten about now

I also really wanted to like the Bond films after Casino Royale, but I really fall asleep through all of them anytime they’re on.

Never cared for Up. I know most people love it for the opening 5 minute montage with his wife but the rest of film is pretty boring and annoying. It would have been an epic short if the film had stopped where it was supposed to.

Boyhood sucked. It was a chore to get through, and at the end I couldn't have given two shits about any of the characters.

Plus I have an irrational hatred for Patricia Arquette. She's terrible.
