Donβt Look Up. It felt like a movie made by a Redditor who thinks heβs really smart.

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

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

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 Iβm just ahead of the times.
Dark Knight. Heath Ledger's Career defining performance can't save this tortuously paced, boring, dreary, washed out slog of a war on terror metaphor. I hate Christopher Nolan, all of his movies are like this.
The star wars prequels get a lot of hate, but honestly, all of the cracks were beginning to show in Return of the Jedi. 4 and 5 are indisputably good movies, and part of the cinematic canon. Jedi has a lot of small things wrong with it... and also Leah is Luke's sister randomly. This is a Lucasism, and as the people who were capable of standing up to Lucas fell away, and were replaced by people who grew up in star wars. Everything that makes the OT good is present in the prequels, and everything that makes the Prequels... contentious is present in Jedi. For the record, I like the prequels but I think they are flawed in really interesting ways.
Jedi is even in quality with all the prequels and sequels that came after, but has a better rep than it deserves because it stands next to the first (best) two.

I enjoy a lot of found footage horror, but Paranormal Activity was like watching paint dry
For me it was Blade Runner. Everyone always talks about how great the movie is, and man, it was a struggle to get through. The setting was cool and that's about it.
I get it. I love the slow pace, the beautiful cinematography, the careful dialog. But it's not for everyone.
