We all have those movies we personally love, and that also seem to get universal praise. Critics adore them, they’re considered classics, and they become the kind of films people agree are just plain good. But then there are the ones that make you wonder if you accidentally watched a completely different film than everyone else. You sit there, baffled as to why everybody else loves this movie.

Recently, redditor Few_Football4342 wanted to know about those latter films when they asked: “What movie do you think is completely unwatchable but everyone praises?”

Thousands of people replied to the thread. Below are the top and most repeated films that people can’t believe are so highly praised when, to them, they’re total duds:

1.”Wicked”

“I was so excited for Wicked. I loved the Broadway production! Everyone I knew was beside themselves over the movie. I was about an hour and 40 minutes in and finally gave up and turned it off. I just don’t see what everyone else sees there.”

—ComphetMasala

2.”Any of the Fast and Furious movies… but I don’t think many people are praising that movie franchise.”

“There are some people that really love them, I think they’re stupid. Then again, I love Sci-Fi, and plenty of people think it’s all garbage. To each his/her own.”

—Miguelitosd

3.”Avatar. Tried multiple times, each time it is just dull as ditchwater. I know that makes me a bad person.”

“Especially The Way of Water. It was two hours too long, the only movie where I actually fell asleep in the theater.”

—Yvratky

4.”The Irishman”

“I started watching it, and seeing 80-year-olds playing 20/30 somethings was a quick hell no from me.”

5.”Jurassic World Rebirth. I don’t know how anyone can enjoy that slop.”

“I was laughing all the way through. Even my 15-year-old was saying, ‘Why are they doing THAT???’ ‘People don’t say that,’ ‘No one would ever do that,’ and, of course, ‘Mum, why do the effects look so much worse now than they did in the ones you watched allllll those years ago?'”

6.”Barbie. Greta Gerwig can go kick rocks. That movie was more about Ken. I said what I said!”

—Boring-Piglet-65

7.”Everything Everywhere All at Once takes this by a landslide for me. Saw it had amazing reviews and decided to watch it with some friends. All of us hated it and felt like it was an utter waste of time.”

8.”Tenet. What the hell was that?”

“My people! Exactly the movie I hated. It was like watching someone else’s acid trip being turned into a billion-dollar movie. Fun for the guy going through it, but why the fuck am I here?!? Sober?!”

—Puzzleheaded_Use_566

9.”Sex and the City… I’m not sure everyone praises it, but it seems to be liked by many. I went with a friend who was a big fan of the TV show, and the sobbing when she got jilted was the final straw. I left and waited in the lobby.”

“The best summary I saw was that Oppenheimer is a three-hour trailer for itself. Pure, pretentious, Oscar bait.”

—Tutorbin76

11.”2001: A Space Odyssey. I get it, it was a masterpiece of its time. I have watched it several times in my 57 years, and each time seems less pleasurable than before. And by before, I mean it has so many drawn-out, boring bits in it. Always found it boring, and I find it more so now.”

“SO validating! In my 46 years (ignoring the first 18), I can’t count the number of times I’ve TRIED to get through it but fall asleep instead. Apes with the monolith and HAL going rogue… That’s what I remember.”

—Cantremembershite

12.”Citizen Kane. I was repeatedly told it was the best film ever made. Sorry, it bored me to tears.”

“I’m told that in its day, it was awe-inspiring for how it used certain filming techniques that are commonplace now, so we don’t notice them. But I’ve studied a little bit of film and watched it twice, and can NOT comprehend the big hoohah.”

—Fodraz

13.”The Shape of Water, it was laughably terrible.”

“My friend and I agreed, it was the worst movie we’d ever seen!”

—TGIIR

14.”Mamma Mia! I get that it is supposed to be silly and lighthearted, but the cliches are so cringey and the music so fucking awful that I can’t take it.”

“I saw the stage show, and even with that, it was obvious that they tried WAY too hard to weave a story around ABBA songs.”

—Fodraz

15.”The new Superman movie. So MANY dumb things in it.”

“Just don’t go in expecting anything like any of the last Superman versions. It’s fun, he just has no ‘gravitas’. It’s campy and not meant to be taken too seriously. Someone called this version the CW Network Superman, and that kind of fits.”

16.”Joker (2019) was so bad I turned it off, which I almost never do. Just extremely boring and pretentious.”

—D_Angelo_Vickers

23.”Mulholland Drive. My ex loved it. I couldn’t figure out WTF the movie was about. I feel like David Lynch just took some acid and then had flashbacks until he stopped filming.”

25.”Frozen. People raved about it for a solid month before I saw it. I just kinda shrugged. It had no antagonist, until it just sort of abruptly changed one of the characters to be one. The songs aren’t even all that catchy.”
