# What is a movie you find terrible but critics seem to love?

We asked our regular contributors through e-mail **What is a movie you find terrible but critics seem to love?** We got many interesting responses. Here are some of them. We have just copied and pasted their responses, not editing them in any way.

1. Girl on the third floor.
I don't understand how this giant piece of shit has 81% on rotten tomatoes.

- Lwyld

2. Not me but my dad. He absolutely hates Snowpiercer but it’s got fantastic ratings and a great director. Even after rewatching he still just doesn’t get into it. I’ll admit the first time I watched it with him I wasn’t huge on it either but I’ve rewatched it many times and it’s one of my favorite films now.

- stotts-tots

3. Shape of water.

Honestly might have been a good movie to address the way humans treat creatures, but they fucked it up by having them fall in love. Like what the actual fuck.

- imInsanelyRich

4. SpongeBob: Sponge Out of Water.
81% RT score with a 54% audience score. If you want a SpongeBob movie, watch the original 2005 movie. Infinitely better.

5. American Hustle.

One of the most boring movies I have ever watched.

6. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
In my opinion, I feel Tom Hanks didn’t accurately portray Fred Rogers at all. Rogers was in no way as eccentric as the persona portrayed by Hanks in the film but was his own breed of human. The Rogers character portrayed by Hanks, especially with the portrayal of violence in a scene of the film set during a live broadcast of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, was in no way the real Mr. Rogers. The documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor was a far better insight into the life of Rogers.

7. Crash.
[Critics generally liked this movie](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(2004_film)#Reception)

- Broken_castor

8. Shakespeare in Love.

- adsvx215

9. Argo.

Not because it was necessarily a badly made movie, but because it willfully rewrote real-world history to make America look like the sole heroes. The British and New Zealand embassies did NOT turn the American embassy workers away. The British embassy took them in, at great risk mind you, but transferred them to the Canadian embassy since they could more easily pass for Canadians, and the British embassy was in a dangerous location already. The New Zealand embassy took similar risks.
The actual Americans who were rescued made extensive comments at the time stating displeasure over how the actual situation was depicted, since it was, well, bullshit.

10. Shawshank Redemption.
Nah I’m kidding. That movie is amazing.

- Infearandfaith23

11. Bohemian Rhapsody, I love Queen but this movie sucks.
Rocketman was amazing.

- landertall

12. Ralph breaks the internet. A disappointing sequel

- Axe-soul

13. A Star Is Born.
I just don’t get the hype. Almost no conflict in her rise to stardom and the ending seemed so predictable the closer I came to it that I had a hard time even finishing it. It was just boring.

- Honey_Magnolia

14. Black Panther.

- SupmyBrotha

15. The Lion King remake.  The CGI is absolutely gorgeous, I can't deny that. But going to hyper-realistic lions made the movie lose all of the charms the original had. There's a complete disconnect between the emotions the voice actors were going for and what the lions were showing due to the fact that real cats/lions don't have a wide range of facial expressions to portray human emotions with.
Other changes were meh. Some were good like fixing some plot holes, but for the most part, the changes were bad (removal of songs, toned down the magic, Beyonce butchering music).

16. I genuinely think that the movie Gravity with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney is one of the worst movies that has ever hit the big screen.

- pipsternick

17. Happy feet... What is the actual F?!?!

-  kotobaaa

18. Ad Astra. The whole movie was a waste of time, surprised I didn't fall asleep.

- sossololpipi

19. A Star is Born is so cringe, I can't understand why people raved about it. Just because they had good chemistry? I mean, yeah they did but that's probably cuz they either wanted to or were sleeping with each other. Big whoop. The storyline was absolute garbage, so cheesy, weak, and stereotypical.
I can't believe 2 talented stars wasted their time on this and then got rave reviews and awards.

- SodhiSoul

20. Titanic. I just don't get it. Most of the special effects are amazing (some shots have too much of that 90's CGI look) but the actual movie was an extremely generic love story with nothing new.

- Yserbius

21. American Sniper AKA "This man murdered civilians but he feels bad about it so it's ok. US army good".

- titaniumjordi

22. My opinion: A Clockwork Orange.
I've read the book and watched the movie. I hated both.

- FinnMertensHair

23. Dunkirk.
I really wanted to like it, but I found the movie to be an absolute snooze fest.

- 2ezyo

24. I really didn't understand the love for A Quiet Place. It relied overwhelmingly on cheap jump scares.
Ironically the movie that everyone seemed to hate, Bird Box, was basically what I thought A Quiet Place should have been. Much more dread and horror, with a minimal jump, scares.

- Personage1

25. For me it's definitely The Last Jedi it has 90 on rotten tomatoes but I'd say its one of my least favorite movies of all time.

- undeadgaming2006

26. Toy Story 4. It breaks so many rules and is such an insult to the characters. The villain and her minions are really interesting but lacks the threat of characters like Sid and the evil of Lotso. I guess that could be the point though. Kinda sad they didn’t do more with her and her minions. Plus, Ducky and Bunny are more unfunny than Minions.

- Henry-the-Anglerfish

27. Pitch Perfect, some of my friends made me watch that monstrosity. It has an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes.

- causal_user

28. Avatar.

- pturneriii

29. I found Avengers Endgame really drawn out and boring, just didn’t hit home like the other movies.

- Sausage-is-the-wurst

30. Tree of Life was pretentious dog shit.
