Films that were acclaimed that are actually rubbish

The Shining

 

[Big Swifty]

Stephen King apparently hated The Shining (film version) but I love it esp. the bit where the lovely bird gets out of the bath naked and snogs jack Nicholson - ooooh, I've come over all funny now

 

[Rammy Blue]

Is that the love story with the fish thing?

Yep, that’s the one.

 

[Big Swifty]

I don't remember a fish in The Shining

I generally like Sci Fi films, and by rights I should like Star Wars, but have tried to watch it many times, but never get all the way through it. From the stupid bear thing that only growls, to that camp robot and it's wheelie bin mate, it all gets right on me tits .... Utter shite.

Not a film, but I gave up on Peaky Blinders after one season. Found the characters soooo one dimensional that I couldnt care what happens. Honestly dont get the hype

I gave up after series one last time n’all. But just this week decided to give it another go.

Don’t think I’ve heard one proper Brummie accent yet, Arthur’s is laughable. And there wasn’t that much gun activity in Britain, seems like they’ve tried to appeal the an American audience.

Withnail and I - Watched it half a dozen times. Shite

Thank God I'm not the only one who hasn't been taken in by the hype.

Bird man
The Irish man
The imitation game
The King's speech
American hustle
The big short
The dark knight - "Omg Heath Ledger, is there a more sinister villain.....Oh Tom Hardy as Bane, the most menacing, intimidating villain of all time"

I thought The Big Short was a great film. Like an acted documentary.
