What is a movie that was highly reviewed/ raved about that you thought was terrible?

Question

For me it was Snowpiercer and I still cannot get over how awful it was and do not understand how it has a 94% RT and 84% MC review.

“The Departed”
Everyone raved about that dumb f*cking movie like it cured cancer.
Any movie in which SPOILER ALERT!!!
they just kill literally everyone off at the end because they’re too stoopid or lazy to write a decent climax and denouement, everyone involved with the movie should starve for at least a year.
“Thor: Gagonkok”
Marvel sh*t all over Hulk fans with that one. Actually, they sh*t on everyone, but ESPECIALLY Hulk fans. First of all, ZERO stakes because there was too much humor. At no time is any halfway intelligent viewer concerned about what’s going to happen. I’ve seen straight up comedies with fewer jokes. Second, Hulk fans have been clamoring for a decent Hulk movie since the beginning. Don’t get me wrong, i haven’t been nearly as disappointed as others have. But MCU kept saying “There are no compelling Hulk storylines. Well, for those uninitiated, “Gagonkok” was a ripoff of one of the greatest Hulk stories ever written “Planet Hulk” which was a beautiful lead up to the actual Earth-shattering “World War Hulk”. It was deep, dark, dangerous and beautiful. Not only did Feige lie about the quality of Hulk source material, he let Waititi steal it just to shit all over it and any discriminating fans in the process.
I wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep if they both drowned in sewage.

Going to keep it recent but  Civil War . The trailer was better than the movie.  Warning, spoilers! So yeah a bunch of journalists decided to go to DC to interview the President... for reasons.  And by the way it's well known they kill journalists on-sight there. There's a Civil War that's been going on for some time now. Why you ask?  Dunno. The President is on his third term which sparks some clues but otherwise there's no explanation why the Western Forces exist, why Texas and California aligned, and why the Florida alliance exists either.  Could be considered a charm of the movie but you just go around seeing men kill each other for no good reason or obvious ideology for the most part. Maybe they didn't want to cause political outrage but nothing makes sense.  The journalists are absolute morons and purposely throw themselves too close to danger (feet away from active gun battles) to get the scoop.  Ending is moronic. Action scenes were okay but too short lived to save the movie.

Fantastic beasts.. any of them. I didn’t necessarily think they were terrible, but I found it hard to focus on them, thought they were boring.

Titanic was the first one I thought of, but there are many overrated movies that have been made in the last 40 years.

Oppenheimer. Thankfully, I only checked out the DVD from the public library so I didn't spend a dime on it. The cover says it's one of the best films of the new century. Ha!!! I regret that I stayed with it to the end. The only reason I can imagine Hollywood made such a big deal out of it was because Oppenheimer was very pro labor union and sympathetic to communism. I'd give it 1 star out of 5. I haven't seen it in years, but the film "Fat Man and Little Boy" told the story better and in a lot less time.

I don't know why so many people went to see  Barbie   ; it wasn't good. I don't even know what to call it? It's sort of a Romcom but not really.

Rocky, Rambo, The Godfather, Saving Private Ryan, Sophie's Choice, The Taxi Driver, Full Metal Jacket, and I'm sure I could come up with loads more and, likewise, everything I thought was really good, the critics thought was a piece of shit. Proves to me that they don't know shit about movies!!

I didn't know Snowpiercer was highly rated, but I couldn't make it through the entire movie as I agree, it sucked! Generally speaking, I think most of the Marvel movies suck too. One that got a lot of hype which I thought was terrible based is Top Gun Maverick. It was just recycled shit with the addition of current technology and some cool computer simulations.

The remake of Scarface with Al Pacino. It was the only time I ever walked out of a theater halfway through a movie.

Hitman with Glen Powell. 97% rotten tomatoes score and the movie was shite.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Almost all of them.  If its not sci-fi or fantasy I generally won't like it, but even within those I'm still very picky.

Titanic. There have been probably 100 cinematic releases that I thought that, while not terrible, were insanely overrated.

The matrix. It's trash and the message it perpetuates is better captured in literature
