Titanic - absolutely predictable.

I tried to watch a Harry Potter film, I really tried! It was just awful.

Another one here who absolutely hated The Greatest Showman. A dreadful film, I just failed to understand what people raved about. Lord of the Rings, hours of utter boredom. Plus any western film that DH took me to; I constantly fell asleep!

La La Land
Les Miserables
I haven't seen Cats but the stage show was dire.

Such heresy Jen65! ?

I hated Mamma Mia- forced to watch it on dvd with GD.

Lala land was dreadful, only watched about half an hour, and that was half an hour too much.

Might be unpopular, but I'm not a fan of the Mary Poppins films.

The Mamma Mia films - the music is fun but the 'plots', and I use that term loosely, were excruciating.

Cats - I mean...huh?

Agree with the Favourite - women exploiting other women.

Interstellar - two hours of dust and weirdness.

Plan 9 from outer space. Soooo bad, it was good.

M. Hulot's Holiday, an immensely boring mime film featuring Jacques Tati

And, dare I say it, Brief Encounter, laughably over dramatised and over acted story of a very brief affair that never happened.

I’ll be very unpopular but The greatest showman left me cold. Ok Hugh Jackman is nice to look at but....

JaneJudge Tue 16-Mar-21 18:44:27

God yes, La la land - what on earth! I rolled my eyes so much I was dizzy

TerriBull Tue 16-Mar-21 18:41:32

Lala Land massively over hyped all those Oscars shock I remember thinking it looked good from the trailer, but I suppose they pretty much contain all the best bits.

Following on from the enjoyable thread about rubbish books,

Was wondering what really hyped up films you have seen and thought , what was so great about that.
Mine are
The Favourite
Groundhog Day
Lost in Translation
Cannot think of any more at the moment but I’m sure there are quite a few more.
