I watched I'm Thinking of Ending Things last night after seeing the trailer on YouTube. The trailer made me hopeful - it seemed somewhat like the movie Get Out where a man is meeting his girlfriends family and strange things begin to happen.
What I got was two hours of pretentious dialogue and not much else. A suspenseful thriller becomes a 10 minute long dance number (apparently from the musical "Oklahoma"). The whole time I was waiting for something interesting to happen. The movie has a rating of 7/10 on IMDB and I just don't understand why. It's not a drama nor a thriller. It's a surreal movie that achieves nothing and I wish I had seen something else. You could argue that the point of a movie is to make you feel something and it achieved that by making me feel angry. It reminds me of the time I slogged through an hour of The Lobster.
Maybe I just don't appreciate art. I've never been one to walk into an art gallery and marvel at someone who has thrown paint at a canvas.
Anyway, what films have you hated/walked out of the theater/returned to the DVD store in disgust?
Edit If you disagree with people's opinions, write a comment. Don't just neg vote them because they hate a movie you like.
Most recently has to be Murder on the Orient Express. Had just finished Knives Out on Prime the day before and was looking for another whodunnit and tried this one. Not sure whether it might have been good as I stopped watching half an hour in. Even with all the well known actors it was just too much of a slog and Poirot's accent was starting to grate on me - sounded like the actor was having too much fun doing a caricature of a Belgian/French accent and just felt flat. I also saw Deadpool at the cinema and felt the humour was way too close to 'edgy YouTube comment section humour' but must've been the minority as it got excellent reviews. Transformers 4 was horrible but that was my fault for going to it in the first place. The Lego Movie was also another snoozefest.
