Re: Popular (book, movie, etc) that you simply don\'t like.
Crash - THE most overrated film ever.
Similarly Babel for the same reason.
Why? Because nothing happens, the characters are paper thin and no one learns anything about anything. Whats worse is the idiots who watch them thinking they are edgy and clever when they are nothing of the sort.
Citizen Kane. I dont know what anyone likes about this movie at all. I havent seen the film since 2001 though, i didnt hate the film, i nothinged the film which imo is even worse.
The Lord of the Rings films. Probably just the specific genre, but aside from the huge set piece battle scenes i cant see the appeal at all. For further reasons see Clerks 2 because Kevin Smith said it perfectly, its just 12 hours of boring walking. By the way, see the website How It Should Have Ended for how the entire storyline could have been completed in 20 minutes.
Elvis Presley. Im a Beatles fan fwiw.
