That highly rated movie that you thought was shit

Anything with Christopher Nolan's name on it.

...

2001 is overrated trash

I've never sat through it without falling asleep, and I'm a huge Sci-fi fan

Cut out the classical music and add more dialog ffs, its not impressive that you have a single shot of some rotating shit for 15 minutes, its total emperors new clothes syndrome, if anyone else did this shit it would be shot down as garbage (and rightly so).

Mad max fury road is obvious.
Stalker is shit

You're a moron

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

I can get into slow, thoughtful dramas, but I thought that one was just plain boring.

Interstellar is a better movie in every respect.

If we are talking about highly rated by mainstream audiences, then this shit right here. 2.5 hours of fucking nothing happening, and I've met people defending this film religiously.

This movie sucked.

Remember the scene where they mention the moon landings were fake? Even if Kubrick himself wasn't directly involved (which he probably was) the front screen projection effect was taken wholecloth from him, as was most of the NASA iconography rolled out in the half century since. 2001 fused the pseudo-sciences of Darwinism and heliocentrism literally shaping the modern epistomological paradigm yet there will always be anons like you ready to declare it "boring" and "overrated".

Smh tbh

>>>Holla Forums

...

Interesting word choice.

Moon landing was fake, no planes crashed on 9/11 and Earth is not a spinning ball. Faster you kiddos wake up and accept scientific method over religious/philosophical dogma the better.

proof that only easily impressed idiots like 2001 because they can't comprehend it due to their low intelligence.

Meh it wasn't that bad, but it's probably the syndrome "hey it didn't suck half as much as I though it would"…

I'm okay with this

That was only a little piece of it. Stephen Rea was really good, Kirsten Dunst was good too, but it's about bloody Tom Cruise

Cruise made a great Lestat, though. Brad Pitt was the worst part of the movie.

Lord of the Rings. I thought it was really boring. Same with The Hobbit.

wow, never would have expected this

He irritated me, along with Pitt. Too whiny, reminded me of the Ventrue from World of Darkness

Oh god this.

Even interstellar was way better than this turd.

fucking preacher is 89% certified fresh, that whole site needs to be camped

God this was awful, what a fucking trainwreck and not in a good way.

Didnt they somehow manage to blame the accident on the russians as well? what a garbage movie it boggles my mind how much money and human effort goes into something like this, we are ants

well shot, hardy was good, but completely pointless, they best simile i can think of is the director wanking his flaccid cock for 2 hours(great natural lighting on the cock tho)

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Black Swan, and Ponyo.

that entire movie

>wind up wishing Sandra Bullock would shut up and die so I could watch panning camera shots of the cosmos for another hour in IMAX

Cry more.

Fuck this movie and its 8.4 rating on IMDb, why the fuck has so many shit Indian movies make it to the top 250 I just don't know

I agree with this man

That's fucking retarded

If you criticize this movie, a swarm of weebs will come out of the woodwork and call you a family-hating, antifun autist.

foreign films get rated higher because of muh diversity

IMDB is horseshit for anything but filmographies. Its obviously just rated that high because there are so many fucking shit curryfaggots online that it screws up the ratios.

Fuck IMDB, click on any movie you like and at the sidebar there should be movies like it, right? Well no you get 1-2 'similar' movies which is more often than not a movie with the same actor in it, and on the right you have stupid fucking lists from morons that are all '10 most handsome actors' or 'Movies I like', which is literally just a waste of fucking kilobytes, makes me rage every time I see that shit. THATS NOT WHAT THE LIST SYSTEM IS FOR NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR TASTE IN MEN ITS SUPPOSED TO BE LISTS FOR RELATED MOVIES NOT YOUR TASTES FFS

WHat? You think those movies are really good?

Also I want to add Reservoir Dogs to the list.

...

Literally take your meds fam

...

It had some okay fight scenes. All the dialogue was trying too hard to be "mature" and "controversial" though. And I do mean all the dialogue.

I don't think it was shit but the whole "Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece that will always be the pinnacle of film making" meme needs to fucking stop.

Same with this but replace weebs with furries.

This film wasn't even good tbh.

In general any movie that has to put the ending first in order to keep its viewers interested is shit tier, I hate that non-linear shit, it just makes everything that happens before the last event irrelevant because you know how it will end up anyway

Believing in the spinning ball earth of masonic and satanic trickery.

Sure, go prance around the town, acting like you know everything that there is to know because you heard it from your hero Neil Tyson.

More of an /a/ topic than a Holla Forums topic, but all three of these fucking movies, say what you will about the original show and EoE, Rebuild of EVA is irredeemable garbage, all 3 thus far, and likely the 4th one too.

1 and 2 were good for the subtle trolling and playing with people's expectations. 3 is when shit went off the rails.

And now 4 is called 3.0+1.0, so time looping shenanigans are likely to happen.

Explain why its faster to fly North when flying across the world instead of just flying due East or West. (Not that you've ever been outside of your moms basement)

I actually liked 1 and 2.
Fixed/Erased a lot of bullshit filler "character development" and kept the actual key points in characterization.
Also, I liked some of the changes.
Kinda proves that if EVA would've lasted only 12 episodes it would've been a lot better.

1 and 2 wouldn't have worked nearly as well if it hadn't been for the originals.

Someone that hadn't watched the TV show would take them as is, but if you are anywhere familiar with the show you can tell straight out the bat that something weird is going on.

...

Quit bitching about Deadpool, The Wolverine was far far worse, they just took every overused Japanese cliche they could find and shoved it into a movie
I'm surprised they didn't include fucking cherry blossom blowing in the wind – wait a minute I think that shit was in it too!
What a fucking waste of a film. Also Wolverine was a pussy throughout the whole thing.

Could you elaborate?

I also liked the more positive aura overall and the lore is properly explained in good order and does seems to make sense.
Nevertheless, while properly explained it's underexplained for 3.0, one of the things that caused 3.0 to feel like shit.

Some things I never got from the original series criticisms is that people says it has no sense.
I mean, yeah, the directing was erratic as fuck and relies to much on visual exposition for some thing that could been explained in 3 setences, and it was obvious that they did that because they had no idea how to keep dramatic momentum, A choice that made it look pretentious as all hells but it made sense and it was fairly easy to get if you pay attention.
Also the bashing on the sci-fi bullshit names for "scientific laws" like "ego barriers", "Sea of Dirac" and that was something I never understood.
It was no different from the style Star Wars has to name characters or Halo's royal naming for places and events so I never got why people was so pissed about it.

Nope, I don't buy the "lol 1 and 2 were breddy gud" meme, the 1st one was a fine adaptation but an awful movie, they didn't even attempt to change the story up to actually make sense in a 90 minute format, so the movie doesn't flow at all, you stop and start as if they made a megacut of the show, except with all the important details cut out that leaves anyone who hasn't seen the show scratching their heads, which brings up the question: why even remake it if the only thing plugging all the plotholes is knowledge from the original show

Could have been worse, but still pretty awful, also a disgusting amount of product placement

I don't care what anyone says, 2.22 is the worst one, once again knowledge of the original show is required to make any sense of why these characters do what they do/how they act, any subtlty that was in the original show is cranked up to 10, Rei and Shinji are close friends? now they're borderline lovers. Asuka had an inferiority complex and was jealous of Rei? Now it's a harem anime plot where Rei and Asuka are competing for Shinji's dick.
The movie's pacing was also repetitive and annoying, it flowed better than the first movie but they made the narrative's flow so predictable and annoying Plot->comedic relief/romantic tension->Plot->more comedic romantic tension->Plot again, and then they end it with 40 minutes of boring, 0% investment mech fights that were nowhere nearly as entertaining as some of the ways they killed the angels in the show after dragging on for a good 20 minutes too long to begin with.
I'm not even going to talk about what's wrong with 3.33 it should be fairly obvious.

t. Eva autist that is absolutely shocked anyone can stomach this garbage much less claim that it's BETTER than the original show in any way other than maybe animation.

BS user, at least the characters in the show's interactions were sorta authentic for all the shit they went through together, the fight Shinji, Asuka and Rei go up against together not even 20 minutes into the movie happens 17 episodes into the show, there was no attempt to show any sort of believable relationship between the three of these characters outside of over simplifications of the themes from the show

Tell me one thing in any 3 of the RoE movies that is properly explained, makes sense, and pays off in anyway, I'll be waiting.

Fuck, I can't likely remember half of the subtle trolling that went on in the movies.

Best example is the opening of 1.11. You have Shinji seeing the mirage of Rei, but before that you get the intro sequence, and it really is a bit of a mindfuck.

Then you have 2.22, where you expect the epic fight with the Angel to go like it did in the original, instead it's Shinji that goes apeshit. Oh, and the whole movie basically baited the fans into thinking Toji was going to pilot 03 before showing it was going to be Asuka.

Looks like someone here is a pleb

Well, if you make the same fucking series for 20 years you're supposed to know your shit.

Honestly, of all the things that I disliked about The Rebuilds, the plot changes were actually something positive in my eyes

Toji piloting Unit-03 never had the emotional impact I suspect Anno wanted, Shinji might have cared about him, but the audience couldn't have given less of a shit, he wasn't Rei, Asuka, or Misato, so who cares, not to mention they basically write out his character 2 episodes later anyway, Asuka Piloting Unit-3 made much more sense to me and actually had the impact of Shinji possibly killing one of his close friends…if only the Rebuilds actually showed Asuka and Shinji form a sort of rivalry/camaraderie like in the show, Rebuild Shinji and Asuka's relationship is non-existant outside of the aforementioned dating sim aspects of 2.22

They talk all of 3 times in 2.22, only one of which is actually meaningful to either of their character arcs

one step forward and two steps back I suppose

To be fair Anno did plenty of other shit in the years between the original and Rebuild. He's best known for Evangelion in the West, but that's hardly his only contribution.

Also, it takes dedication to consistently fuck with a fanbase for 20+ years.

Still, the point stands, Rebuild was never meant to be a remake of Evangelion.

I think the Rebuild movies rely heavily on the premise that the audience is already familiar with the plot of Evangelion and are fans. It's why they can get away with cutting so much of the "fat".

I can't imagine what someone new to the franchise would get out of the movies honestly, since basically every scene is a jab at the fanbase in some way or another.

If nothing else 3.33 basically destroyed all my expectations for the last movie. I have no fucking idea where they are going with any of it, I just know Shinji will get into the fucking robot one last time.

It would be hilarious if they used the end of the last movie to launch off a new Evangelion anime.

To fuck with fans. Rebuild is all about fucking with fans, and making shekels off of ignorant normalfags, but mostly fucking with fans.

Wut? It merely shows Shinji trying to establish a connection with Rei, just like in the originals.

Nigger, what? Asuka does have an inferiority complex, specifically because her mother rejected her for a doll. All she does is a desperate plea for attention and validation.

Rei rubs her the wrong way on a subconscious level because she hates how doll-like she is, and how she treats the idea of piloting.

Arguably, that was always the case. Asuka is attracted to Shinji but her personality is completely incapable of letting him get close, while Rei doesn't even know how to approach the problem, and Shinji is so passive he is unwilling to make the first move anyway.

3.33 was a mess. My guess is that halfway through production they scraped everything they had and started from zero. No other way to explain why it is so radically different from the preview in 2.22.

But then why advertise it as a remake for a new generation, yah there was bait and switch with the original show, but not bait and switch on a marketing level, this was obviously made with the intent of bringing in new fans in the process of cashing in on the nostalgia of people who are already fans, I pity people who saw the rebuilds as their introduction to the series, nothing is even remotely sensible or coherrent without the show to fill in the blanks for you

I don't see why it had to be movies to begin with, they obviously didn't give enough of a shit about 1.11 to try and turn 6 episodes into a decent flowing movie, instead, like I said, it plays like a megacut of the show where the next episode just sorta starts without any real indication of how or why all of these are connected.

and I have no doubt that Anno WILL try and make a new series out of the show, he is that greedy at this point, I wish he would get depressed again so his work would be less shit

I'm out of Eva images, have Smug Asuka with a MAGA hat

It's Evangelion, it would sell regardless of what they did with it.

I just want a happy ending. I could give less of a shit how it comes about.

I didn't say that she didn't I'm saying they cranked it up to an unneeded level to create a love triangle with no apparent purpose other than to sell figmas and the spinoff romance mangas for faggots to jack themselves off to, the show had romantic tension, but it was more played off as all of them being horney teenagers that had problems to begin with, not to mention problems with emotional connecting with others in a positive way

You can't seriously tell me the Dating Sim plot of the dinner party in 2.22 is in anyway better or even on par with how Shinji, Asuka, and Rei's tenuous relationships are handled in the show

Read some of the spinoff mangas where they're just normal kids in a high school then 10x more satisfying than anything Anno will ever give you

You're racist, just like the Oscars

They're average films, but compared to other anime they look golden.

inception

You must mean blue pills, no thanks. Here, try a red one: Holla Forums friendly and goes slow youtu.be/StXi8cKj5uE

Indian films are my least favorite type of foreign films.

they borrow so much from other cultures, but they dont add their own spin

Any movie that has a character written in JUST to be Exposition Guy is a shit movie, no two ways about

everyone that wasn't juno or psycho-ex was an exposition character.

...

Pretentious dog shit.

I don't know why people on Holla Forums post this in good movie threads, it sucked balls.
Except Edward Norton, he's good.
I hate Emma Stone.

This thread makes me so angry!!!! aghghgh!!!! >:(

Overrated but it wasn't bad.

That's a stretch, it's a functional movie, just not a good one. But that's only because it's aimed at people who think they're genius underachievers, and that says a lot.

I get that it's for kids and everything, but I watch animations every year and this is the most simple-minded one I've seen in a long time, even more than fucking Frozen and that's an overrated piece of shit too.

But hey, it looks pretty. Have a fucking Oscar and the applause of full-grown adults everywhere.

12 Monkeys, Brazil, Time Bandits. Come at me.

Very forgettable, no interest in seeing it again. Didn't care for any of the characters other than BANE.

Well the book was the same thing happening over and over with some flashbacks and a non ending is the movie similar?

holy shit that thing got an oscar? i mean he animated awards are always a shitshow but WOW

brazil is great, the other two I more or less agree
baron munchausen is criminally underrated because it bombed

0/10 try harder

Black swan is just a shittier Perfect Blue.
Inception is just a shittier Paprika.

The opening scene is amazing. Everything after that is mediocre shit.

Had it been a story about the hardships of colonialism rather than MUH SON MUH INJUNS it could have been something worth it.

Seems to be about a weak-willed man who is indecisive that is pushed by his girlfriend to become a woman. Apparently I was wrong in my assumption since everyone else thought it was uplifting. The backgrounds had more presence than the actors. I guess people liked it because they wanted to jerk off to Redmayne in a dress.

He was also in Hick which was basically just softcore pedo porn.

I really fucking hated Iron Man 1.

What other answer even is there?

It was a little too heavy (and too fucking blatant) with the symbolism for my tastes also.

I liked this movie but I award it a 6/10 or 7/10, I mean it's well-shot, everyone does a good job, but it's a story we've seen 100 times before

But it doesn't start with the ending, it just happens to end where it started, and it does so by giving the audience new information (Jules & Vince are in the diner).
Chronologically what's the last thing? I guess it would be Butch leaving town on the motor- chopper?

Back in my day trolling etc

Lost in translation.

...

But that was the point?

...

Next thing this nigga will say is that El Topo doesn't make any sense.

Holy Mountain is easy as fuck to grok, it's just that normalfags get confused when there is surreal stuff on screen.

The movie shows you all the ills of society and fully satirizes modern "culture", then also satirizes the great "search for truth". It is saying "art is fine and good, art can show you the truth, but at the end of the day you must get up and take action in the REAL WORLD or it's all meaningless."

pull back, camera!

I haven't actually seen Holy Mountain yet

Go back to Holla Forums, retard.

samefag

how?

I don't have a refutation of that video, but have evidence of Kubrick himself mentioning Alien Super-Intelligences.

I really like this, I bet you think Osama did 9/11

The soviets had more deaths and fuck ups than us, they juts covered it up.

I saw it with my brother and father. We laughed. It was stupid, but I am not so pretentious that I can't enjoy stupid humor.

Yeah it was boring, there was almost no plot. And the plot it did have was the bare minimum required. It seemed like more of a proof of concept to how far CGI has come.

Isn't that the 1st film ever made?

Kubrick's weakness is that on a surface level his films are boring because of their slow pacing. It's hard to appreciate the layers of meaning metaphors and symbolism because of this.

I enjoyed it, it's hard to take a film like that seriously.

I enjoyed it. The twist surprised me.
Shit plot. I saw it in the theater and the 3D effects were a novelty and nothing more.
It was pretty dumb, and a bit of a waste of time. I anticipated the plot as it happened, and I have no desire to see it again.
I hated it. The only genuinely entertaining version of Spiderman I have ever liked was the Spectacular Spiderman TV show.

The Hobbit is shit. LotRs is not.

I enjoyed the lesbian scene in black swan more than the film itself.

...

What pissed me of it that
1.No blood in a Wolverine story.
2.PG-13 in a Wolverine story.
3.He didn't tear into a pile of ninjas like in pic related. There is a better depiction of this but I can't find it.

His totem was his wedding ring, not the top.

It was so well reviewed because it fellated the movie-making business.

Pixar will never make a genuinely good film ever again but will still get a 100% for all of their films for the foreseeable future. How does that make you feel L:^)?

Still not the 1st motion picture.

...

Shit, name was left over. Not actually op.

This is a sign.

That scene where he rips into the critic is pretty great tbh

I couldn't hear what he said because of the shit sound design.

Literally a hedonism simulator

If I wanted to see a guy who keeps showing off how good his life is for over two hours, I'd just watch porn, at least I'd get some enjoyment out of that

I have absolutely no idea how this was so highly rated. The worst part is that it's guilty of most of the things that are wrong with Into Darkness too and yet everybody loved this one and shat all over Into Darkness

I tried to watch the 1.01, then I found out that there's a 1.1, a 1.11 version.
Do they really have to make different versions of the same fucking movie? Do they expect us to buy each version? Are they part of the (((chosen people)))?

Literally everything from this faggot.

Wasn't this funded by criminals?

Anime was a fucking mistake.

Thought they over-focused on Rei, and Shikinami Asuka is no Soryuu Asuka.

Can someone explain to me why pic related is praised so heavily? I guess it wasn't bad, but it was really slow and nothing interesting happened until the escape. None of the characters were particularly interesting, the music was nothing special, the art direction certainly wasn't noteworthy, and the story was entirely mediocre.

I like all of his movies but I wouldn't say that any of them are amazing. He has a good handle on tension in dialogue, interesting characters, and his violence is good. But the plots outside of Reservoir Dogs is consistently lacking and I'm not really a fan of his pacing in most of his movies. His best were either Kill Bill v1 or Django which I would argue were the best action movies of their respective years, but neither are very high up on the list of best action movies of all time.

The movie was just a shittier version of scarface with witty dialogue. I don't mean the surface elements because the protagonist is obviously not a cuban drug lord, but that he starts from almost nothing and illegitimately works his way up to the top before it all comes crumbling down. Only Scarface had the good virtue of making the protagonist appropriately unlikeable, significantly better pacing (less "look how cool my life is :DDDD" scenes), and an ending that was actually pretty strong. And I didn't even really like Scarface because Macbeth did it better.

Ant Man is the only good Marvel movie.

It was a pretty shitty and predictable movie but I did like how the plot was pretty redpilled about the dangers of mass surveillance and showing the acts of Snowden in a positive light.
I refuse to believe that anyone liked this

Fuck you Clancy Brown was great in that.

THIS, FUCKING THIS.

Quentin Tarantino is a man who I learned to despise over time when I started watching movies he blatantly ripped off of. I still like Reservoir Dogs, even though it's a ripoff of City on Fire.

Top kek
Is that real?

It was the big debut of the "Morgan Freeman narrates with black pathos" movies.
