No he had it right. JJ Abrams' Star Wars, because his pile of shit was about as close to Star Trek as Star Wars is.-Seraph- said:
In the interest of staying on topic, you'll never guess which movie I didn't like...
I didn't like "No country for old men." Whenever I tell someone this, they immediately get on their "you just didn't understand the symbolism" or "I'm so smart that only I truly understand Coen Brother's movies" soapbox. It really just wasn't that great of a movie.
First off, symbolism should not be the high point of your movie. Anytime someone says "I didn't like it the first time either, but then I went back and saw it again and it was much better" is full of shit. The movie was just as bland, you just read more into it. I appreciate symbolism, but come on some of the ridiculous synopsis I've heard from movie buffs about this film are just ridiculous. "The dead dog represents the loneliness in his life and his longing for a change in his social-economic status." What?
Second... the ending sucked. Seriously that's your idea of a genious ending? An anti-climactic clusterf*ck that just leaves you feeling shitty? "OH BUT IT WAS REALISTIC." I got news for you, nothing about that movie was realistic. Seriously, a silenced shotgun? No.
I'm not saying this movie was terrible, but it wasn't amazing. It was a pretty mediocre cat and mouse movie with a twisted ending (a lackluster one at that) and some symbolism thrown in every now and again. I thought both Fargo and Burn After Reading where much better and they didn't get half of the acclaim no country for old men. Seriously... Best film of 2007? 2007 must have been a realy shitty year for movies.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Didn't care for it, and everyone in my house loved it (mom, dad and sister), but all I really liked was the "Sirens" singing (Plus, they are kind of cute).
300- Everyone in my school loved it. I thought it was blood for the sake of blood. I worry the new God of War movie might turn out the same way. "THIS IS SPARTA!" = "BORRRRRIINNGG."
Postal - Everyone sees Postal as Uwe Boll getting better, while in my review, I compared it to sleeping with a dead Hooker in Vegas and then never discussing the event ever again to anybody.
Marley & Me - You could have called it: "Cheap Shot: The Motion Picture" and still sold the same amount of tickets. Everyone in my house cried, and I was sitting there going, "You knew if they put a dog in it,
It's a given.
Army of Darkness - The Weakest and least favorite of the entire Evil Dead Series.
Zoolander - My School loved it, and it only made me dislike Ben Stiller a little bit more than some people should feel about an actor.
That's all I have to say about that. (P.S. - Do the Forrest Gump Haters remember this line?)

All super hero movies. I'm sure a few of you here have seen me bash on these before. They're all garbage.
Time to join the bandwagon.

Twilight, just couldn't get into the series, and movies made from books aren't a high ranker with me.
Also, I've started to hate the comedy genre, sure it's funny at the start, but it banes itself with a plot filled with seriousness with comedy "Bits".

Watchmen.
10 months of excitement, dismantled in the space of two and a half hours..
Never again will I look forward to a film. Especially if it's another rape of Alan Moore's work. Should have boycotted it.

Two words "Iron Man" I just don't see whats so great about it it's just like every other superhero movie out their. Oh theirs a new superhero oh the girl he likes gets kidnapped oh the superhero is weaker but because he has courage he beats the bad guy whose always like 10 times more powerful then him. It's stupid.
Sin City. It has everything there to make it an enjoyable film; I just don't like it for some reason. I loved 300, and I read the Sin City comic and liked that, but the film is just too... shit.
Tim Burton, I honestly do not get his appeal. all the movies of his that i like are never the ones like by the majority... I absolutely hate those claymation musicals, in fact I hate all musicals he does.
Borat. I heard so many people tell me it was my tye of humor, and how they were peeing they were laughing so hard. I went and wasted money to sit and stare at the screen and not even crack a smile. I watched the whole thing thinking, "When's it gonna be funny?" Then it ended.
I'm a bit surprised to see people saying The Godfather. Here I thought that was hallowed ground haha.
The only one that really comes to mind for me (other than the really obvious ones)is No Country for Old Men. I could not make heads or tails of that movie, quite honestly. It was vague, confusing, all-around unentertaining, and the plot was incredibly redundant.
Maybe the book's better. I wouldn't know.

Titanic! Wow, it was one the worst over-dramatized, predictable, poorly-written, and over-hyped movies I've ever seen. And i like both Winslet and Dicaprio...but they were just so bad in Titanic. I did not like it.
