What Movies Have You Absolutely Disliked: A Seer's Perspective

Have you ever found yourself rolling your eyes or groaning upon watching a movie that just didn't hit the mark? From Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to Star Wars sequels, certain films can leave a bitter taste in your mouth. This article delves into the world of movies that have fallen short for many viewers, including the author of this piece. We'll also explore the personal stories behind why certain films left a permanent mark on the author's heart.

Disappointing Films and Why they Missed the Mark

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Captain Marvel

Let's start with the classics. The film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a perfect example of a movie that did it all wrong for me—it junctioned between action and spirituality with a beautiful storyline that could have been a standout. However, the sequels haven't fared well. Captain Marvel on the other hand, is a prime example of a movie that focuses too much on 'man-bashing' and lacks strong plot and acting.

Fifty Shades of Grey is another movie that falls into comparison. It's an obvious rip-off of the better film The Secretary. The writing and premise lack originality and substance, with a clear lack of depth and strong character development. Similarly, Solo is described as a cash grab, which brought nothing new to the franchise and degraded it in the process.

Star Wars Sequels: A Saga Ruined by Propaganda?

For many, the Star Wars sequels are a source of disappointment. Movies 7 through 9 are criticized for their failure to bring anything new or substantial to the franchise. The movies are laden with DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) propaganda, but heavy-handed techniques do not enhance the narrative or plot. The acting and writing failed to deliver a cohesive story, making the movies feel hollow and lacking substance.

Other Movies That Felt Disappointing

Further down the list, films like Black Panther, Deadpool 2, Oceans 13, The Last Jedi, Rise of Skywalker, Finding Dory, and the Matrix prequel have been pinpointed for their bland plots and lack of originality. These movies, while often praised for their visuals and music, suffer from weak writing and recycled ideas that fail to engage the viewer in a meaningful way.

A Personal Story Behind the Dislikes

One movie in particular made a significant impact on the author. While watching Shawshank Redemption and being a critic of it, the author was motivated by their own personal hardships. The movie is all about redemption, which is something the author did not find joyous or uplifting. Prison movies, especially American ones, don't entertain the author when it comes to watching people being punished. The movie's dark themes and the author's personal story create a unique connection between tragedy and cinematic representation.

Conclusion

When it comes to films that have left a lasting negative impression, these are just a few of the many that come to mind. Whether it's through personal disappointment or a general understanding of what makes a movie truly impactful, these films serve as a reminder of why we strive for excellence in storytelling and character development. From action to drama, there are many stories that deserve a better treatment than what these movies provided.
