I'm not saying the worst, otherwise I would need to include the star wars sequels or transformers movies... Just some really dumb movie that somehow got praised.

For me has to be Ready Player One. That movie message is so "uhuh" obvious that is stupid, the whole nerd that saves the world in a thing that otherwise would be useless to know in real life... The so over the top evil gaming corporation. The whole 80s and 90s movies and games references get old after half an hour... And it's so pandering towards the geeks and nerds, they really want the viewer feeling really cool for knowing that is the Shining hallway, or that is a Monty python reference... Or look a GUNDAM! YOU'RE SO COOL FOR COLLECTING THOSE GUN PLA! Look we have also overwatch and halo in the background! You're so cool modern gamer!

Also the obviously attractive "nerd" hacker girl that thinks she's ugly and deformed for having a small hard to see red tint in one side of her pretty face... Cmon man. In no universe anyone would think that actress is ugly.

And the message at the end is so hilarious: Look man, you're cool for getting these references and being a real gamer is cool, but go outside more!

Is like the creators have no self awareness.

Jurassic World. It seemed like the definition of color by numbers reboot.

I have no clue how the original Mad Max made it out of Australia, let alone spawn a minor cinematic universe...

I did not get the hype for 'Don't Look Up'.

Anything from Marvel ever. Except maybe Guardians of the Galaxy, but it's all way too long and just boring, I don't know I always find fight scenes to be extremely boring in films, I'm more interested in the progression of the story over some dragged out fight

The Batman 2022 with it's constant dreary atmosphere and insanely repetitive soundtrack.

The visuals are great. Is by a mile the best looking batman and probably comic book movie just behind the raimi Spiderman trilogy and I guess Sin City. But yeah the story gets annoying.

Frozen was 3 hours worth of movie jammed into 1 and a half hours. So much stuff happens that either didn't need to happen or needed a lot more setup and motivation. I can understand why little kids liked it, I still have no idea why all the young women liked it too.

The sequel was worse: a hackneyed "elements" magic system and a plot that would only work on a much longer time scale. Too much stuff crammed into too little movie.

american beauty. it was everywhere, and everyone seemed to LOVE it. feels like history kinda agrees though since all I hear these days is people making fun of it. guess I’m just ahead of the times.

Don’t Look Up. It felt like a movie made by a Redditor who thinks he’s really smart.
