What Movies do you Hate that Everyone Else Loves? (5 Viewers)

Yellowstone is a soap opera for dudes who drive King Ranch F-150s and record videos that "tell it like it is" while wearing wrap around sunglasses.

I wonder how many fans of that show enjoyed Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance

Don't like Kevin Costner and I agree, it really didn't resonate with me at all...

Field of Dreams and Bull Durham are the only movies I've ever really liked Costner in. I think he normally does a good job, but it's always kind of Kevin Costner as a merman, Kevin Costner as a minor league baseball player, Kevin Costner as a post apocalyptic postal worker, etc.

these dudes you mention, do they do their own research and bemoan the loss of a time when everyone wasn't so offended by 'jokes'?

Probably vastly different now that you are an insufferable art snob living in NOLA.

you have no idea

You can argue a lot of actors are like that

I feel the same about John Wayne, Jack Nicholson, Samuel L. Jackson, Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, I haven't seen the show so I can't say but I think with the exception of Ozarks Jason Bateman and I'm sure many more

I first saw FOD upon its release, in a theater at 15 yrs old.. I thought then, and I think now - that it’s got a couple nice moments, I remember liking the ‘have a catch’ line as well as the line of cars at the end , I thought that was a nice touch… but I remember thinking, and im not sure I even knew this word back then- but I definitely thought the whole movie was contrived.. and required just a little too much suspension of disbelief to be enjoyable.

I've always liked it I think in part because of the baseball as the history of American stuff. I think I saw it just a few years after the Ken Burns Baseball documentary on PBS and that made it resonate. I was also a big baseball fan back then. That and the theme of regretting some of the rebellion of youth.

Fewer black turtlenecks?

No doubt. Frankly, Tom Hanks is a lot like that but I still think he's a very good actor. It's kind of the movie star vs. serious actor thing I think.

But, I will say that while Sam Jackson often is just Sam Jackson, he's capable of more it's just that he takes every role offered so he mails it in lots of times. I just wish he wasn't a Falcons fan so I could follow him on social media.

I keep on seeing ads for this and lots of talk about how it's so good, but I have never watched i. Thanks for confirming what I expected. It's really just sheetty melodrama.

We used to be a proper country.

It's absolutely just a sheetty macho melodrama. I have no idea where the critical praise came from. I felt embarrassed watching it.

ads become some weird canary in a coal mine - like Thunderbolts* seems to be advertised in a way that indicates the studio has confidence in it and just needs to keep it in the periphery of our consciousness
Captain America otoh is saturated in such a way that the studio can only hope for some mass hypnosis overtaking us and driving is the the theaters

but ads for TV shows are even odder animals - i see very few hard sells in between the bizarre drug ads out there
but Yellowstone is advertised in a way that indicates it might be part of some money laundering scheme

..... I watched it and wanted my 95 minutes back. And then for some reason I watched the sequel.
