Something like "I just didn't care for it."

You know, the type of argument that usually suffices when you bring one of most highly rated movies of all time into a forum discussion about complete garbage titles that should have never been made.

Actually, this thread is titled "Movies You Didn't Like Very Much"  not "complete garbage titles that should have never been made".  And I didn't like the Godfather movies very much.

Anyway, I agree with Peter Griffin that the Godfather "insists upon itself". Just my opinion, which is what this entire thread is based on.

And another movie I didn't like very much - Congo.

If you can explain what the fuck that means I'll be very surprised, because I don't even think Seth MacFarlane knows.

The movie trys too hard to convey that this is a real crime family and that it should be taken so seriously. It's as if the makers of the film were forcing the movie to be regarded as an epic fim even before it was released.

So the movie "trys" too hard to convey(what a word!) that that is a real crime family and it should be "taken so seriously"?
I almost thought I should spend the night pondering the meaning of those words, as deep as they are.Then I remembered  The Godfather is among the few films that, as far as I'm concerned,  ease us into the plot and settings quite seamlessly, and quite naturally.

Granted I don't find it to be the best movie ever made(as many do), but still, it is a masterpiece of film-making, and should be respected as such.It became a classic after being released, I doubt Coppola thought:"Hey!This might not be regarded as the best crime-drama ever, and become hugely popular among people!So why don't I force people into thinking this is a great movie.".If he did, I'd like to know how, so I can go on and make critically acclaimed and hugely successful movies.

On the other hand, if you consider this to be an extended narrative poem dealing with events on a grand-scale, then yes, it is probably what the makers intended.Though if this is what you mean, I doubt you wouldn't appreciate the movie.

Now, there's one thing not to like the movie, but one can't deny it's merrits.

Ok whatever, not getting into a forum battle about opinions. My original post about the Family Guy reference was meant more as a joke.

But IN MY OPINION, I didn't like The Godfather as much as many other people did.

There ya go. Now can we all relax?

No.


Just for the sake of the newbies, this thread was originally called "The Worst Movies Ever!" but a lot of people kept listing any old film they remembered not caring for.  But I suspect I'm not alone in that, when I see new posts in this thread, in the back of my mind I'm still hearing "The Worst Movies Ever!"

Batman and Robin is really really good, if you want an absurd, garish, Adam West-style "bam" "zap" "pow" Batman movie. Really. It is a big silly roller coaster ride.

Well, no, because the movie took itself seriously. It was campy, but not really in a good, fun way like the Adam West Batman is.

And it's also very, very clear that Joel Schumacher is gay in the film, considering all of the close-up shots of George Clooney's Bat-suited ass.

Um. Prove it. Because maybe you missed the part where Uma Thurman does a little strip dance, only she's wearing a monkey suit. Or the part where Batman rockets into the upper atmosphere and then uses a piece of the rocket as a windsurf board in order to get down safely. Or the part where he takes a moment out of the movie to plug American Express. Or the part where Mr. Freeze makes his henchman sing along with a Christmas special on television. Or the part where Mr. Freeze talks entirely in puns. Or all the close-up's on George Clooney's--no, no, obviously you remember that part.

Batman Begins is a serious movie. Batman and Robin is about as serious as a stripper popping out of a wedding cake.

Fine, but how about all those ridiculous parts where Alfred has MacGregor's disease or whatever the hell it was? How about Alicia Silverstone's entire role in the movie? Robin's rebellion? Even if the movie had campy parts (which are hilarious, I admit), the movie still wasn't consistent because it attempted to have serious moments as well. If the movie was completely campy, I could agree with you. But Schumacher was still attempting to make a legitimate Batman movie, I think.

Resident Evil 2. Everyone is like "Meh, it's better than the first one" but if you look carefully the first one was actually a pretty funny send up of dozens of sci fi cliches. From the stupid cube laser room the talking rogue AI little girl thing. The movie was retarded, but endearingly so. Resident evil 2 on the other hand was a soulless pile of shit that went beyond 'so bad it's good' and came out at 'so bad it's shitty'. The plot was a mess, the woman they got to play Jill kind of looked like her but unfortunately forget the whole acting thing (you could say she was playing the original Jill from the directors cut of the first game who didn't exactly wow us with her dramatic abilities I suppose), Nemesis was a dude in a rubber suit. Now I'm all for dudes in rubber suits, I love Metal Gear solid 4 and dubious German porn as much as the next guy but seriously, when the selling point of the movie is the damn monster, which just happens to be one of the coolest bosses in gaming history, you don't give the job to a a dude in a suit. Oh and the part where they do kung fu on the zombies, that was retarded. Oh and there's a part which is almost funny if only because at least 12 guys in the audience will scream 'meatloaf!' when she comes through the church window on a motorcycle. Oh and the racist depiction of the film's token black dude (the pimp, not deadmeat #1) didn't sit too well with me either.

Wrong Turn.  The acting was awful, the characters were cliched, the story made absolutely no sense at all, and I'm pretty sure it made no money in the box office.

Just to give you an idea, there's a family of incest mutants who have the amazing ability to climb trees at incredible speeds, perfect aim with a bow and arrow, and stealth beyond any man's comprehension. 

That's not a horrific story about incest, that's a superhero!  I wish my mom and uncle mated to conceive me after watching this movie.

Also, no brief nudity to save the movie at all.  They made a sequel, it went straight to DVD, and actually had more of a plot than the original.  It still sucked.

Actually I almost enjoyed the sequel.THAT was campy fun.And  I really liked Henry Rollins in it.
