    Not seen the latest Transformers. Is it actually worse than 2?
    It's so bad I can't believe it was released.
    That was my opinion of the first one. I have avoided all the others.

    I think I've seen bits of the first one.

    It was blurry, I couldn't tell what was going on and I fell asleep.

    Did I miss much?

    Transformers 2 is an atrocity on many levels.

    Ready Player One tested me this year, but overall I think the movie I hate the most has to be Boyhood - darling of every fucking hack and film ponce in existence. If I wanted to watch a kid grow up in real time, I might have actually had one.

    Felt similarly about Lady Bird too.

    You missed Michael Bay peering up the skirt of Megan Fox.

    I'm seeing a lot of "I hate this movie because it was terrible". Which is fine, but there are plenty of terrible movies that I don't really have strong feelings about either way. Why pick that particular one?
    Sucker Punch - for the sheer inanity of having an action film without a single tangible enemy. Even Transformers has real backdrops and real explosions. Fucking Steven Seagal fights real people, slowly, from the waist up. SP was an excuse for Snyder to play Barbies with real people.

    Crash - most patronising and melodramatic movie I've seen. The bit where the Persian guy almost shoots the girl while her dad screams, with the slo-mo and the dolly zoom and the contrivances fucks me off like no other movie scene for some reason. It's also incredibly simplistic, and its one message is ludicrous.

    Inception - because people won't bloody shut up about it. I'm not looking at you the same way if you tell me it's the most layered and intelligent movie you've seen, which I hear all the bloody time. The cast should have asked to be paid by the word because it's an exposition machine.

    Which Transformers movie (a movie for children) was it that Bay decided having a character who has a laminated card to get out of paedo jail should be a thing?

    I thought this was supposed to be hate the most? Like Drive you hate the most? Really? Have you watched any of his other films? Only God Forgives I remember being far more polarising than Drive.

    The only film which made me walk out a cinema was Police Academy 7. It probably wasn't even that bad, but it was cheap Mondays at the local cinema, and the pub seemed more appealing. Not sure I hated it though.

    For me, its basically musicals. With the exception of The Blues Brothers, and on a good day, Buggsy Malone, they can all go in the bin as far as I am concerned.

    One film I do recall hating though was Romeo + Juliette, really couldn't get on with it.

    I've never liked ET. If you caught a creepy gremlin fucker in your closet, you'd quickly stab it to death, as they should have done in the movie.

    One of the central characters is going out with an underage (well 17, so it'd be okay in the UK) girl. Marky Mark takes issue with this because the girl is his daughter. The 20 year old guy brings out a laminated card with the "Romeo and Juliet" statute on it that states it's okay if there's a pre-existing relationship. Laminated. He gets questioned on it so much that not only did he have to print out a card with it on it, he had to laminate to the ensure it holds together all those times he is forced to bring out his "I'm Not a Technically a Paedo" card.

    It's just an astounding scene that makes no sense, even more so when you realise they could've just wrote her as 18. Her being 17 isn't required at any other part of the plot!

    Weird. Not sure this is worth digging into, but what does a pre-existing relationship mean? Going back to when she was even younger?!

    I've already mentioned Drive.

    Decent soundtrack. In all other regards it's basically a hipster version of Taxi Driver. Gosling walks around doing his usual emotionless robot thing, without the excuse he'd later have in 2049.
    Pah, I am pretty sure Taxi Driver was the *definition* of "hipster" in 1976!

    So I'm on my own with Under the Skin then? Apart from the obvious, it was shit. Perhaps the deep meaning washed over me.

    So I see The Last Jedi is pretty hated, as is Sucker Punch, Drive and someone mentioned Annihilation.

    Maybe people really hate Oscar Isaac for some reason?

    Oscar Isaac made Inside Llewyn Davis, so all is forgiven.

    Spiderman 3

    Awful film ('Jazz' Spidey, the bridge scene, mess of a plot, too many villians), but hate because it was a massive disappointment coming of the excellent Spiderman 2, it managed to kill that iteration of Spidey, it wasted some great source material, and it threw a great villain, in Venom, away as token bad guy. Not a fan.

    Dirty Grandpa

    Utter, utter shite. A stale piss-stain on the Armani trousers of De Nero's career. Pretty sure he only did it to taint his ex-wives' alimony payments...

    Taken- "they are going to take you" How the fuck would he know that? Hated the film.

    Suckerpunch- just an absolute mess of a film. I can't be bothered to list the reasons as I'm on the bus and it will make me angry (cry).

    re suckerpunch - it's a mysogynistic embarrassment as far as I remember.

    Still gets me today that people still believe that Sucker Punch is meant to be some kind of literal action movie. It's a story told by an unreliable narrator based on surrealist and metaphorical elements. If you think that it doesn't succeed on that level, that's fine, but it's hard to take anyone seriously who believes that it's some kind of basic misogynistic action film - those kinds of people really don't have any business commenting on film if they don't understand the basics.

    Nocturnal Animals was weird. I've only watched it once so I couldn't analyse it in any great depth, but that opening credits scene was completely gratuitous for absolutely no reason and there definitely seemed to be some kind of male dominance theme going on there, with her ex-husband (or ex-boyfriend, or whatever he was) seemingly deliberately trying to get control of her mind through his story.

    I couldn't escape the feeling that the director was trying to push some kind of subliminal misogynistic element there, and I'd definitely have to watch it again to see what I think a second time around, but it was a deeply unpleasant film to watch - as if wanting to communicate the idea that a woman's natural place is in submission to her man.

    Sucker Punch's scenes of male dominance were always meant to have the men as the antagonist (hence why the men are stereotypical bullies, in many cases filthy and sweating). Sucker Punch falls into the same category of films like Elle - films that don't telegraph a more complex message so overtly and end up being completely misinterpreted by self-appointed social justice activists who seek to get offended by everything.

    Elle, incidentally, is a great film about sexism and misogyny. One of my favourites.

    Counterpoint: Sucker Punch really was a bit rubbish.
