Gladiator.
Were you not entertained?

Mid story, great visuals.
Absolutely this.
Yes! It’s just cowboys vs Indians over valuable rocks in the ground on a alien planet.
I know everyone hates it but i loved it at the time and I’m scared to watch it again because I’d probably hate it now but avatar😭 i want it to be good
More of a genre than a particular movie, but any and all video game movies that aren’t the 90s shitshow M•rio movie or the 3 live action Sonic films. I’m talking live action because there have clearly been good video games based animated films like… well I can’t think of any right off hand, but they surely exist.
I really liked the newest DnD film. It was fun and got a lot right
I thought the last Mortal Kombat movie was pretty good.
A Complete Unknown. It was very long, and I just found Bob and his life a bit boring. Apart from the music, of course.
I guess I can convince myself by rewatching if it actually is good, but:
Cabin in the Woods.
Tap for spoiler
I understand they were going for meta-horror, but it was so in your face, so mediocre, so shallow.
Scream series is far better meta horror imo.
I also found cabin in the woods to be meh. Like it wasn’t bad but didn’t live up to the hype.
the irishman
Event Horizon.
Honestly, any of the Monty Python movies. I know people love them, and they have a few funny jokes. But man are they ever drab, I just can’t get into them.
Most of action movie franchises, tbh: James Bond, Transformers, Mission: Impossible, Fast and Furious, to name a few
Anything that comes from Marvel. Overrated CGI tripe.
Since you phrased it ambiguously, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is amazing.
I’d argue that those are Sony movies, not Marvel.
Back when Marvel was financially struggling, they started selling off rights to various characters. Sony bought Spider-Man (and a handful of other characters), and that’s where the Tobey Maguire movies came from. It’s also why the X-men will likely never be a part of the MCU, because Sony owns the movie rights to (most of) the mutants.
The Spiderverse movies are basically Sony riding the wake of the Tom Holland hype. To be clear, they’re phenomenal movies. But they’re only tangentially related to Marvel.

But they also have some of the most incredible visuals I’ve ever seen in an animated movie. I still maintain that the second one could be watched entirely on mute, and you could still understand the story.
Oh I agree, I was just being pedantic because OP said “Marvel”.
The only Marvel movies I like and they are not even made by Marvel.
Since I’m already being pedantic, technically produced by Marvel Entertainment.
Hey, tripe doesn’t deserve that
Even something like Iron Man 1 and 2?
I don’t like Iron Man 3 but 1 and 2 are quite enjoyable to me.I liked the original tobey maguire spidermans, but that was 20 years ago when they came out (and I was a teenager). I like them now for the nostalgia, not so much for the movie it is. And after those nothing really spoke to me. I went to see quite a bit of newer movies because my gf and friends do like them, so occasionally I give in and tag along for the company (I distinctly remember age of ultron and infinity war pt I for how bad it was, but the memory of some others I’ve seen faded the minute we got in the car home)
For me these movies all feel the same and formulaic. The stories are predictable, the characters flat and the edit is just too much focused on extreme visuals, spectacle for the sake of spectacle. I find many storylines very forgettable, to the point I even forgot that I’ve seen some movies before. In the edit, they are trying very, very hard to evoke emotions from the audience using tricks and tropes; but in the end it’s all a hollow shell, a cash grab without authenticity. At least, it feels that way for me. I understand many people love these movies, they’re just not my thing.
Avengers. Any of them, probably.
I couldn’t get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.
Saving Private Ryan.
Absolutely hated it.
Uncut Gems
A stressful two hours of screaming and bad decisions
That’s the point… We’re watching the spiral of a gambling addict. Its pure anxiety, and it’s done so well.
I get that but you are not convincing me that this is good
I guess its personal preference, it’s like eating food with a lot of spice. Some people enjoy the stress it brings.
Highly agree. The stress and anxiety is there for a reason. I actually hated it the whole time I was watching, but it was very much worth it. That being said, I don’t think I’d watch it again.
It’s good at what they were trying to do. It’s not enjoyable.
First answer I’ve taken offense to. IMO one of the best films I’ve ever seen, and hands down the best thing Sandler has ever done.
I’m gonna give the opposite answer than you want. I feel like most movies recently are like that but some I had to get into the right mood to enjoy them. The first time I watched the new top gun I thought it was garbage propaganda then I gotta into jet sims and think it’s an awesome movie. Same with mad max fury road, thought it was trash until I watched 1-3 then 4-5.
