Movie Critic Reviews

[DallasFanSince86]

We all probably have seen movies that were panned by movie critics but we throughly enjoyed watching. What about a movie that was critically praised but you did not like?

The reason I ask is because back at my birthday, my aunt and I went to the movies (we have done this every year for the last 10 or 12 years) and when we went to choose a movie, there really wasn't anything that jumped out at us to go see playing but we decided to pick a movie that had a good review to go see. That movie was Stranger Than Fiction. We found that movie to be boring and a waste of time.

I wanted to find out if there were any movies you have seen that was critically praised by movie critics but you thought was awful or just plain boring.

I also thought Stranger Than Fiction was horrible.

Everyone of the Star Wars films...And Blade Runner. I have no idea why I didn't like Blade Runner. I have watched it multiple times but just fall asleep every time I see it.


Star Ship Troopers> Star Wars

The Fifth Element> Blade Runner :laugh1:

"Shakespeare in Love" was another headscratcher. Then again, I'm dead inside.

That movie beat "Saving Private Ryan" that year for best picture didn't it?

Friggin' travesty.

by the widest margin ever.... Crash.

to me, that movie sucked and was full of cliches.

Well, it had a nice soundtrack.

I knew from watching the previews that I wasn't going to like it at all so I passed on it. So it was as bad as I thought it was going to be?
