I've just decided I love you for calling out EEAAO. For going on nearly a year now I've felt like some sort of outcast for DARING not to like this movie. A close friend actually tried to start a big fight with me about it! I don't even hate it! I just think it shows its hand too early and once you see where it's all going, you still have a whole damn hour left to go, and it takes FOREVER to wrap up! But because I wasn't loaded with praise for it, I offended her somehow!
Well, that’s the way it goes.
That movie is disgusting
Since so many people are revising history and pretending Avatar was a masterpiece, I’ll go with that one.
Avatar IS a masterpiece. and only God can forgive you
I’ve never fidgeted in my seat as much waiting for a movie to be over as I did seeing Avatar.
Same thing with Avenger's Infinity Bore.
FernGully > avatar 😴
@@miquebts Exactly. Avatar is Ferngully meets Starship Troopers.
I think Ferris Bueller peaks comedically in the first 30 minutes and never reaches that level again. You can turn it off before the halfway mark and not miss much
Fair enough. I mean, even Ferris himself, in the post-credits scene, breaks the fourth wall for about the ten millionth time and says to the viewer in bewilderment, 'You're still here? It's over! Go home. Go!'
I kinda feel like the problem with Everything Everywhere All At Once isn't quite so much the movie itself as much as it is the overinflated response to it. It's a really good movie that just Isn't quite as transcendentally great as everyone says it is. With that said, I am not upset that it won Best Picture in the slightest. I haven't seen every Best Picture nominee yet, but of the majority that I have seen, I think Everything Everywhere All At Once was deservedly closer to the front of the pack by my estimation.
One movie that everyone seems to love that I just can't (other than Titanic and the Avatar movies) is Napoleon Dynamite. To be fair, i saw it when I was a kid once it hit home release, but I would say that I had a fairly sophisticated eye for quality at my age. I will grant you that I may just need to see it again now that I'm older, but at the time, I did not find it funny, hardly at all. I don't even remember if I finished it. I was in upper elementary school and middle school in the mid-00s, so 00s comedies were things I was exposed to (and deliberately not exposed to when it came to the raunchier variety until later), and as my friends and I got older, we had a small debate over what the best comedies of that time were. Suffoce it to say I did not root for Napoleon Dynamite. I was a much bigger fan of movies like The School of Rock and Nacho Libre were much funnier movies. I do intend to go back to it in hopes that my opinion of it changes.
Everything Everywhere All at Once will be like Slumdog Millionaire in 5 years, it will be mostly forgotten and most people will never bother watching it a 2nd time.
Nah it's pretty terrible.
It's terrible and it just shows that most people can't make an opinion of their own to save their lives.
Nah, I can geneuinely say that it's one of the better examples of events dovetailing into its themes so beautifully. If it didn't resonate with you then it didn't resonate with you, but this notion that anyone who says so is essentially lying is just bogus. Different people come from different perspectives that affects what speaks to them on a visceral level
A Beautiful Mind always rises to top for me on lists like this. I also find Ron Howard to be one of most overrated directors.
Also, Russel Crowe does not in any way resemble the real life person he is playing.
Anyone who prefixes their opinion on a movie with "as a social Democrat" (or any other economic theory) call 911, you're dealing with a level 4 sex pest
it was relevant to the movie. don't get so triggered by other peoples poltiical stance.
Matthew Broderick got the part of Ferris because Anthony Michael Hall turned it down. Hall had already been in three John Hughes movies and wanted to do something different.
Well, _A Gnome Named Gnorm_ was certainly... 'different'.
@@bryangarcia5599 hahahahaha
@@bryangarcia5599 Don't laugh, but Anthony Michael Hall was almost Private Joker in Full Metal Jacket. Kubrick reached out to him and very much wanted him for that part.
@@danielreid3476 Well, that settles it, then: Kubrick really _was_ mad! Utterly, irretrievably *_MAD!_*
I agree with alot here. I think a lot of these films offered something unique but once we absorbed the quirk we see clearly the lack of a great the story and characters.
La La Land is that one film that is so wildly praised and I could not stand watching it. It is a musical with completely forgettable songs and with actors that can neither sing or dance to save their lives. My ears didn't bleed as profusely as they did in Tom Hooper's Les Miserables but it was more than a aural papercut.
EEAAO was a miss for me. It gave me a headache. It was Jackie Chan swallows a bag of shrooms and makes a film about existentialism through the eyes of immigrants.
It’s one of those emperors new clothes kind of movies. In a few years time anyone watching it will say in a matter of fact way - it’s not very good.
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" IS about Cameron.
Thanks for another great video. I really appreciate your insight and analysis.
A movie that I never cared for that everybody loves is Star Wars.
I can't stand spirited away or full metal jacket. Come to think of it, I haven't liked a single Kubrick film that much.
Titanic, Avatar, the Fast and Furious franchise, anything by James Gunn, I'm sure theres more but thats all I can think of from the top...
ah yes, the old "college student taking LSD" conundrum
100% agree with your take on Jordan Peele
ET and EEAAO.
I love FBDO though, based on style regardless of the main character's appeal.
Agree wholeheartedly about Everything Everywhere Everyone, Every...whatever. Cate Blanchett's performance in TÁR was by far the best performance of last year. Who can say Ms. Yeoh's performance here was better than Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon? I think, as English is her second language that she sometimes struggles to flesh out her characters. But, I can't blame her for winning awards, the problem is the Academy. The Academy is now all about pandering under the banner of inclusivity, trying to seem progressive, forgetting that awards are to celebrate films what actually makes them great.
Sorry, I can get on a soapbox sometimes...
Thank you for mentioning Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon! Such a good movie, such a good performance, and a much better portrayal of a complex “mother figure” (with better fight scenes too). I really hope history remembers Yeoh primarily for Crouching Tiger, not EEAAO.
Any movie by Chris Nolan or Wes Anderson
I think Black Panther is a bad movie. I don’t really like Marvel movies that much in general, thor ragnorak is one that really stands out to me as being a cut above the rest. I found black panther to be a more boring version of a James Bond film and an even more dull version of other marvel movies. Sure, people went to see it, it’s a marvel movie, that’s what people go and see, but it doesn’t make it good. I think into the spider verse was the far better marvel or comic book movie that year with a more interesting story and people should’ve been praising that a lot more than Black Panther. What black panther lacked in a story wasn’t made up for in any action moments. I think Michael B Jordan and Andy Serkis were the biggest stand outs of the movie and I wanted more of them. Also Blade had the best Black lead character in a marvel movie, even though not MCU, doesn’t matter.
You're back!
I don't mind a messy movie, but movies that feel contrived because the filmmakers force an idea into a medium that's not meant for it makes the movie itself boring. Tenet was uninteresting in the context of the look of the movie and academic in the way it presented the story and the rules of the world. Just do it as a long series or write a novel. The two words I would use are disjointed and pedantic. Almost robotic.
Oh also KIDS.
Hate it. But mostly because I skated in the 90s and when that movie came out suddenly all my friends tried to act even stupider, do stupider things, do more drugs, be shittier people, because they wanted to be cool like the fake people in KIDS. Screw Larry Clark.
Guys. You know there's nothing new about the "multiverse" right? it's been an element of fantasy literature for decades.
nolans batman series, especially the second one "the dark f....g knight" , i hate that the characters aren't played out smoothly , those of batman and joker and more important to Gothams citizens , it doesn't fit in there at all , and the f.... music of hans zimmer also 🤯
I took my dad to see Logan on his birthday. When the movie finished, we both looked at each other and expressed our disappointment. I just couldn’t get behind the little girls performance. It was too unbelievable even for a wolverine movie and at times laughable during the action sequences.
Did I miss something about the 2nd movie talked about? You said it was made in 2018 but I never heard the title. What movie were yall talking about?
Sorry to Bother You
@@chrisjfox8715 no, it's okay, you didn't bother me. What was the movie called again?
Funny enuff, I like all these movies.
1. The Worst Person In the World (2021): Still don't understand how it got so much praise. I expected to get to know the main character, Julie, and her struggle to figure out what she wants in life and to have a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery but instead the whole film revolved more around her boyfriends. We don't really get an in-depth look into anything but her relationships and when I say relationships It does not include friends or family, no solely Julie's romantic relationships. It didn't help that I found both the love interests very dull and uninteresting, especially the older boyfriend, Aksel. I felt like the movie was more about the men than about Julie. That seemed especially true when the older boyfriend turns out to be ill and literally gets an I told you so moment at the end of the film and that moment and with it his character development seemed to be more important than making the lead female character less one-dimensional andgiving her some actual character development. It made total sense when I saw an interview with the director where he said he started writing the script from the older boyfriend's perspective but ended up continuing writing it from Julie's perspective...Someone on Letterboxd said something along the lines of "All these characters seem like they would shove me aside in a coffee shop" haha and honestly that's quite accurate. Just a surface-level romantic comedy presented as a highly intellectual romantic-drama.
3. You Won't Be Alone (2020): I don't know if everyone loves it, but it's very well-praised among the people I follow on Letterboxd. I personally couldn't help but feel this was a Terrence Malick rip-off. It features a similar style, includes 3 classical music pieces which were in The Tree of Life, it made use of Malicky introspective voice-overs and it focused heavily on nature. I feel like the people who loved this probably haven't watched The Tree of Life. Apart from my claim it is a rip-off, it also failed to say anything interesting. The main character is able to switch bodies, she's a shapeshifter in a sense, which in itself is very interesting, yet it somehow always stays at surface level and only shows basic human wants and needs despite it claiming that she learns about humanity, loss and love...Yeah...I would disagree.
What's number 2? I haven't seen The Worst Person in the World but I can say that I truly loved You Won't be Alone. I'm not going to compare it to The Tree of Life but I will say that I found it to be a really unique take on the witchcraft genre that borders on horror. It really got me in the gut and I was entranced the whole time 🤷♀. That's just my take though and I can appreciate your opinion/ perspective.
The movie is about Cameron. Ferris isn't real. He's Ferris's alter ego. Also, Ferris Bueller's Day Off isn't for you or anyone of your ilk. You little turds weren't even thought of in 1984.
Matrix, John Wick, Lord of the Rings Trilogy’s, Peter Jackson’s King Kong, Tenet.
😐🤢🤮
The English Patient and Lost in Translation come to mind. And, more recently, the way too ugly and cynical The Favorite.
Gone With The Wind. E.T. The Abyss. Braveheart. Titanic. The English Patient
Interstellar because once in space the film doesn't know what to do. Like Armageddon, one thing after another keeps happening. A big water wave? Clouds that are ice? The docking struggle was a waste of time, and the love theory never has room. Overall, the better the villain, the better the movie, and because Matt has little screen time? The lifeless struggles of space fails as a bad guy. It gets tiring. Wasn't 2001 A Space Odyssey
Gladiator is one, just garbage and cheesey. Any movie that ends with the slow clap for the hero is a big "NO" for me.
Totally agree on Everything Everywhere. As far as Nope goes I liked it quite a bit more the second time I saw it. I think it’s one of the more compelling alien summer blockbusters that I’ve seen in a while, and the cinematography is absolutely stunning.
Felt cheap
Wrong
Nope was terrible. EEAAO was a bit more entertaining
I liked Nope a lot. EEAAO I found VERY disappointing.
Peele just isn't that talented and even Get Out was a Stepford Wives knock off.
For me, I get what you are saying about Matthew Broderick not being cool like Ferris and feeling he was miscast. I think that was the brilliance in that casting. He looks and acts like an average Joe, but somehow was exalted to this legendary status. I think if you took someone who seemed cool (like the Charlie Sheen character) it wouldn't have worked. There's a quirkiness to Broderick's characterization that makes the idea more surprising and fun.
This.
I did mention this. That he was chosen because he doesn't fit into the stereotypical "cool jock" stereotype, which is great in theory. He isn't Charlie Sheen. He isn't Judd Nelson, and I wouldn't want him to be. I think there are other actors who could capture what you are saying, in a way that doesn't feel so unconvincing, in my opinion.
@@deepfocuslens Perhaps. It would be interesting to see, but being of age in the John Hughes era it is hard for me to picture anyone else. Perhaps that is the reason for my particular bias.
That said, I do love Cameron and it is his transformation that gives the movie weight.
Broderick was a genius casting imo. But I understand the sentiment that Cameron is the vastly more interesting character.
@@deepfocuslens I hear that. I remember being the only one in class who didn't like ferris as a kid. I might've found him pompous. It's aged ok by contrast but I remember that 1st impression
The most recent version of A Star is Born. The dialogue is unintentionally funny. I could feel Gaga and Cooper trying to act and felt embarrassed for them. I felt like I was watching a high school play.
Whoa, that’s heavy duty. And that was so hyped up. I was expecting, “Been Her.”
For me it’s Forrest Gump - it’s not that I dislike it, it’s just I couldn’t understand what the appeal was - it just left me indifferent and mildly bewildered.
Broderick’s best is Election. Brilliant casting top to bottom.
Cameron needed the day off, not Ferris. Ferris, in fact, had about a dozen days off already. He pretended to take the day off for Cameron, but it was really an excuse to justify his shenaniganry.
Broderick got the part because he had a lot of experience doing Neil Simon plays, where he has to address the audience directly, which is what Ferris had to do. In fact, he almost turned the role down because he was getting tired of playing that kind of part.
I'm wondering how many people that have a problem with Matthew Broderick as Ferris actually saw the movie in the year it was released. I thought Broderick was perfect as Ferris Bueller when I saw the movie in a theater in 1986. But it was a different time and here are some TV shows that were popular in 1986: ALF, Head of the Class, Designing Women and Matlock.
I think the same thing can said about the movie Grease, which road on the coat tails of the immensely popular TV show Happy Days. And people back then were into wholesome TV shows. Other popular TV shows from the 70's were The Brady Bunch, The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie. Grease was actually a little edgy in its time. So was saying "damn glad to meet you", back when Animal House was released.
Perhaps the takeaway is that there are many, many movies that were a tempest at the time and were a reflection of contemporary culture when they were released, but don’t hold up over time.
I've never had an issue with Matthew Broderick as Ferris, he made that role an iconic 80's role, but when you look at the rest of his filmography it always felt a bit odd for me. Because he was so charismatic as Ferris, I always wondered why he wound up getting or taking on shlubby or nerdy roles post-Ferris.
Yeah it was an 80s movie. The zeitgeist was part of it. Today, the movie WOULD be about Cameron, and would be 3 hours long. I tried to watch the newest Bill & Ted, and within 2 scenes they're sitting in a therapist's office talking about whatever, and I turned it off and will never see it again. Hopefully Beverly Hills Cop 4 doesn't fall into that trap. Probably (and hopefully) it won't.
Maggie is one of the best critics currently speaking on modern movies.
she has been the best since many years now.
@@sagarsaxena6318 The smaller creators and critics tend to be the most grounded and are not reviewing just for the sake of money and clout.
On RUclips. There’s a wide range of critics that do what she does better. Not undermining her. I really like her reviews.
She's very good because she always addresses the actual movie she's reviewing and doesn't get distracted by any kind of ideological agenda of the right or left (like the Critical Drinker from the right or Lindsey Ellis from the left). That sounds like a low bar to jump over but it's more difficult than you might think. It takes focus and the ability to read the movie critically on its own terms instead of just filtering it through a preconceived set of ideas. I think it's why she's able to make difficult movies so accessible. I may not agree with all the reviews but I know that if I watch one I'll learn something about the actual movie and not just the use to which someone wants to put it.
@@themoreyouknowfools4974give an example pls
ari aster and jordan peele movies.
this comment made me cry and pee a little
Lady Bird and Little Women, or any Greta Gerwig movie for me.
A case has been made that Ferris was staging an intervention to prevent Cameron from committing suicide. But John Hughes was a National Lampoon writer so the slapstick/satire stuff was where he came from.
Hate is a strong word, but extremely overrated movies considered great...
1. The Dark Knight
2. E.T. The Extraterrestrial
3. West Side Story
4. Tootsie
5. All about Eve
6. Rebel without a Cause
Except for the first two- the others have a historical greatness.
Fantasy like Hobbit, Avengers, Marvel. Maybe Star Wars (especially anything after 1st 3), Lord of Rings too (especially 2nd one), although hate is strong word it's just not my thing.
Only the hobbit is a bad movie in all of that movie list. The others are above the line. Well Star Wars is highly overrated overall.
Titanic, Avatar 1,2, Forrest Gump, Interstellar (Nolan in general) only to name a few.
I agree with all of these except for Interstellar. I’m generally very put off by saccharine, sickly sweet, lowest common denominator, jack of all trades movies. And movies like Titanic, Forrest Gump, and Shawshank Redemption fit this bill.
I agree with all you choices but for Avatar 2 since I haven't seen it. Of that list the one I hate most is Interstellar. Just a bunch of philosophical and scientific claptrap.
@@PhoenixRiseinFlame Interstellas was lame no movie buff actually think it's entertaining. Also it's a space propaganda
Disagree with everything except Interstellar . You're just an edgelord
@@lorcan8484 I can like what I like, and you can dislike what you dislike. I’m sure there are many that love the three movies I mentioned, and that’s completely fine.
What’s not so fine is propagating logical fallacies in the pursuit of some smug sense of superiority in your taste in films. It’s a drastic over generalization to claim that all film buffs do not like Interstellar just because a few snooty people dislike the movie. Many people enjoy it for its grand scale visuals and ideas surrounding time. Many people dislike it for reasons that are completely valid for them (perhaps the paradox at the end ruined it for them or the story didn’t resonate with them, etc). My point is that it’s completely unwarranted and asinine to claim no film buffs could enjoy this movie when there are certainly many that enjoy it for a wide variety of reasons.
Here's a suggestion for a topic I thought might be interesting :)
Good actors that pick bad movies/projects
Fassbender is one for sure
Two words: Johnny Depp.
The Florida Project
Completely annoying an unsympathetic little girl and Mother. Confirms my not having kids:)
Defoe got a lot of attention for this film and I'm not sure why - He has been so much more impressive in many other roles.
I think Andrea Arnold's films excel at this type of story and characters. Check out American Honey or Fish Tank.
A Quiet Place. Both films. The concept for me only works for a limited time, then it's kind of predictable and, well, just a little boring I have to say. Just found myself not really being that scared through most the running time. And I am a big horror fan so it's not that I just don't like horror films.
The analogy on "EEAAO" about college students that have never taken lsd ... and all of a sudden they do and they think they know the meaning of the universe was so funny and so on point... I love this woman. She is a goddess . I would kill just to have a conversation with her... even if it's about twinkies I'm sure it will be interesting
You must have a very lonely life having wishes like that
On Tenet - i think the initial reception to the movie was to do with the pandemic release - it was my first time back in a cinema, and you could feel the anxiety at the screening i went to. I viscerally HATED it after seeing it that night, and the sound mixing (a known Nolan problem) was horrendous.
However, there was something that kept saying to me to watch it again and I did so on a train to London with my nose pressed up against a large ipad screen...and i fucking LOVED it.
I've now seen it around 5 times, the last time shall we say 'not in my right mind' and it was one the wildest cinematic experiences I've ever had, and every time I watch it now more layers reveal it'self.
It's a true mystery box of a movie, and possibly the one film i've done the biggest 180 on since seeing it the first time.
I keep on saying this to people. Tenet is such a cinematic achievement that needs multiple viewing to appreciate the sheer masterpiece itis . however people judge it from their first viewing, understandably so as the plot can be very overwhelming.
The first time I tried to watch the movie, I couldnt get into it and turned it off before even reaching 20 minutes. The second time, I was hooked right from the opening scene and loved it enough to revisit it twice, and I will definitely watch it again at some point.
There are still things that confuse the heck out of me, like the last sequence, which I doubt will ever make sense to me, but overall it is Such a wild and mesmerizing ride that i cant help but see it as one of Nolans best movies, and I prefer it to almost anything he has done, save for "Batman Begins", "The Prestige" and "Interstellar".
For me i don't know why but i hate Interstellar, i just can't get myself to sit and watch the whole movie i always turn it off, Tenet tho i really loved it from the first time
I liked Tenet the first time, but it took me looking at it as a scifi Bond film to truly love it. It's not as complex as a lot of people make it out to be
Everything Everywhere ALL AT ONCE.
Decision To Leave.
L
It took me a while to get that "Sorry to bother you" was the name of the film, not part of the comment. 🙂 As for "Ferris Bueller", I think the movie IS about Cameron too (as it is about Ferris sister). It´s true that the character of Ferris could have had more depth to it, but I really like Broderick´s performance. TENET: I completely agree... I think this movie is Nolan´s way of being "funny". The main character has no name ("I am the Protagonist" hahaha) and Elizabeth Debicki is really just playing the same character she played in "The Night Manager". "Evrything Everywhere ETC"... I am surprised by how few people have noticed that this film is really "Matrix: The Remake". The mother is Neo. The husband is Morpheus. The daughter is Agent Smith. The "multiverse" is The Matrix. It´s waaaaaaay too long. With 30 minutes less it would´ve been better.
Thank you, I'm no longer confused. I felt like she changed movies but couldn't figure out where. I watched it over and over then decided to check the comments to see if there was some kind of editing error. I've never heard of "Sorry to bother you" so I really had no chance. Hah!
Forgive me if this is 'off-topic' or whatever, but venerable actor Treat Williams ( _Hair, Prince of the City, Once Upon a Time in America, Deep Rising_ ) has just been struck and killed while riding his motorcycle on Vermont Route 30. He was 71 years old. No joke, I was _just_ watching another of his films, the criminally underrated zombie buddy-cop comedy _Dead Heat,_ co-starring Joe Piscopo, Darren McGavin, and Vincent Price.
Rest in Peace, Mr Williams. You were indeed a Treat.
My father used to ask the same thing. He loved Treat Williams.
Broderick is pure hollywood nepotism. He should never have been famous
Yes. EEAAO is the definition of overrated. Just like Hans Zimmer
TENET and Ad Astra were two of my worst movie going experiences.

Groping someone equally attractive is a philosophically grey area, as partisan as it was two millennia ago.

Zone of interest is number one for me , just don't get it. Boring, no story.
Wow, you and the person who wrote in are SO young. I have to disagree on SO many levels. I feel you have missed the point of Ferris and thought Broderick did it perfectly. I think you missed the point entirely about his character.
Nah I think she's right. I'm a little young for Ferris, it came out when I was too young to have seen it in the theater but I saw it as an older kid and again many times. Broderick is too hammy and self-conscious. It kind of goes with the part, since he's always breaking the 4th, but even still her points resonated with me because I always felt that there was something about Ferris that I didn't trust. She nailed it.
Nomadland. It's competently made Oscar bait with a ridiculous premise, where Frances McDormand cosplays as a homeless person. Not to mention Chloe Zhao's background in a prosperous corporate household. Every scenario seemed like a chore for me, and Fern was not a compelling enough character for me to identify with. If you need an example of how out of touch this movie is just rewatch the sequences where Fern works for amazon. This is another one of those films that appears to be saying a lot bc of the events of its release but really says nothing. Just more pandering poverty tourism.
Disagree with Nope and Everything Everywhere, also thank you A24.
Shazam.
Social Network.
Batman and Superman, First movie and Snyder cut.
Fast an Furious Franchise.
The funny thing was that I was talking about this with my friend. For me it had to be Everything Everywhere... you know the rest and also I agree about the Ferris comment I think he was miscast for that part. I think Maybe because he is monotone.
U just hate Asians just say it
I can't stand those symmetrical wes Anderson movies ... so irritating ...
You're just imperfectionist
At the time that it came out everyone was losing their heads over for the Blair Witch Project. I hated it! Dejavu when Paranormal Activity came out. Awful movies, lol!
Ferris Bueller was made at a time when good teenagers in good schools were expected to perform and conform to succeed as adults. Nerds weren’t cool because people didn’t praise social dysfunction and poor mental health was a problem to be solved (Ordinary People), not an identity. Broderick embodied the wry ironic distance with which young people in the ‘80s viewed this social conformity. FBDO was just what the title says- a *day* off from a serious world that revolved around working and after which all the characters would go back to the grindstone. Ferris is not just Cameron’s mentor in being naughty, he’s ours.
Okay grandpa
EEAAO was too overwhelming for me, the same I can say about Spiderman Across the Spiderverse (I'm sorry, I know people love it), they're too convuluted and so much flashiness makes me feel disengaged. On the other hand, last night I was watching ´"Are you there God, It's Me Margaret", and I found myself enthralled and moved with that movie more than the other two. I'm sorry, I guess I'm more old fashioned?
Totally agree.
Terms Of Endearment
SHAWSHANK REDEPMTION !
Regarding EEAAO, even though I disagree with a lot of your opinions, you do explain them well enough to I can see your viewpoint. Michelle Yeoh was comparatively weaker than Key Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu but I didn't think she was flat. Her winning best actress probably was more of a political statement. But to say the academy latched itself on to the film to seem hip is a completely off take. It was one of the better Oscar years in recent memory.

LOL. French Canadians are quite well known for their Pure Laine racism, xenophobia and antisemitism(Parizeau - Big Money and Ethnic quote) as Mordecai Richler eloquently would point out, Richler who would wrote essays in which he decried as racism, tribalism, provincialism, and anti-Semiticism among nationalist politicians in French-speaking Quebec Just take a look at your racist and Jim Crow laws in your own province that have their only comparison in the Deep South. Though we do have a Commonwealth saying about any kind of French guns. Brand new and only dropped once.
I never felt like Ferris was even supposed to be a character or necessarily be likeable. I always felt that he was just this force of nature that didn’t really care about the laws of being human and would simply will things into existence and cause change around him as a result.
All of the feelings about Ferris perfectly describe how I’ve always responded to Marty McFly. He always seemed like an annoying idiot desperately trying to prove how cool he is. Part of why I never got into that movie series.
It’s the Daniels sense of humor that loses me. In an interview for Swiss Army Man they said the idea of a farting corpse juxtaposed against dramatic music was inherently funny. I think it could be amusing in a 3 minute Key and Peele skit, but not a full length movie. Same thing with the Ratatouille bit in EEAAO. They just kept going back to the well over and over again

I'll agree that EEAAO's humor is its weakness for me personally. I couldn't look pass the silliness of it the first time around... But on the second and third viewing, I was increasingly in awe at the themes reflected in various ways and how emotional of a character study it was.
A lot of people were struck by that film because of how relatable that parent-child experience was *and* found the humor hilarious on top of that. The humor still doesn't do it for me, but doesn't take away from everything the film has to say.
I’m 10 seconds in and I really hope all christopher nolan films are touched upon. Or Alejandro González Iñárritu. Easily the most overrated directors of the last few decades.
Although I actually loved NOPE and it is one of my favorite movies from 2022, I was actually expecting a new retake of the little green men story, although I wasn’t disappointed, I felt he somehow needed to subvert expectations. I really hope he finds his way in Hollywood without getting polluted by media pressure, critics and the audience favor. I think its too soon to start being harsh with him, he still has plenty of of room to get creative and original and honest. Ever since Shyamalan, people and critics have this tendency of destroying every promising career from their third movie.
The Sixth Sense destroyed his career? That’s M Night Shyamalan’s 3rd film
@@RobbieSkyeHamilton You know what I meant. 6th sense was his breakthrough film.
My issue with Nope is the same as Us... I think there's a much stronger version of the film in the editing room. The first act of Us feels like it's on its way to being a masterpiece then falls, while Nope's third act is a spectacle to watch yet much that comes before it drags for me personally
'Everything Everywhere All at Once' and 'The Batman'
Both movies have a really solid idea that I'm completely game for. I love their premises, and thoroughly enjoyed their first acts. After that both movies seem to buckle under their own weight. At first gradually, then suddenly. It's during the final 30 minutes where both films have completely lost me, I no longer respect what's on screen and feel betrayed by the awful and worse dull execution of their exciting idea.
Everyone sings the praises of both movies, and I'm genuinely glad for the fans of both movies, but I was so let down.
While I don't think Everything devolves into a very stupid movie like The Batman, it still left me cold and gave me no reason to care at all bout the fate of any of its characters. It might has well have been fun visual wall paper to have on in the background as I go about chores.
I would also like to submit every live-action Wes Anderson film post 'The Darjeeling Limited'. Darjeeling is Wes' final great live-action movie. I love Wes' animated work and think it's a much better vehicle for his borderline oppressive twee aesthetic. His live action films have moved beyond self-parody and I can't withstand his movies anymore.
Everyone loves his current work; good for them.
The Batman was ok but way to long!
@@redpepper7181 The first hour was ok, them it devolved into a cheaper and dumber episode of Gotham. Terrible writing and editing.
@@cambodianz I tried Everything Everywhere and lost interest, they set the bar pretty low at the oscars this year
@@redpepper7181 yeah, I think nearly all my praise and criticism of The Batman also applies to Everything Everywhere. I was into their premise and ready to love it, but somewhere after the first act, both films buckle and eventually free fall into a bunch of whatever.
Though, I was a bit more cautious with The Batman as I wasn’t sold on him being chosen as director to begin with. He lacks the chops to rip off the David Fincher and Coppola (most filmmakers do) and most of that just seems copy/pasted.
Sicario - following the wrong character, who has no agency, and no effect on the plot. Emily Blunt is great as usual, and the set piece in the traffic jam is fantastic, but overall meh. Benicio's character is far more interesting. However, be careful what you wish for, or you end up with Sicario 2.
I finally saw Oldboy this week and HATED it. Way too much plot for a single film, mismatch between character behavior and character motivation, OTT stylized actions that always seem pretty silly, and relentless grinding misogyny. No thanks. As I watched it I kept thinking it would make a lot more sense as an anime series, then I discovered it was adapted from a manga. It would have been a better film if they had streamlined the plot and tried to make the characters less cartoonish. Not sure how they could have handled the misogyny, though, apart from just telling a completely different story.
Vertigo is overrated looks amazing, but the undelivered letter kills the ending which is too abrupt, the romance is not convincing James Stewart feels like her Dad, Vertigo was inconsistent he looks out of windows like 5 times and only experiences Vertigo like twice
I completely disagree with EEAAO, now of course it comes down to opinion but when u stated that the Oscar is force to latch on to it, I feel a lit bit of bias in that comment. I have no problem with different opinions but we should not assume stuff like that, I'm not a fan of the Oscar but saying it won because of sympathy is disregarding tons of viewers' love towards the movies, it may be won cuz it was deserved, to your liking or not.
Gladiator.
I think “Forrest Gump” would top my list. What an overrated film this is. I was only able to trudge through it once.
And, is it just me, or is Tom Hanks just not that great of an actor. I know it’s sacrilege to say that about our modern day Jimmy Stewart.
The Super Mario Bros movie is very overrated IMO. It’s a fine movie, but is very bland as far as animated family movies go. Average at best.
Ya, but Ferris was voted most popular at his school!
Oh, he's _very_ popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a _righteous dude._
😄by people who "vote"
Spider-man ITSV and ATSV. both are not good actually
I do not like jordan peele and a lot of new horror. I feel like what you are saying about meta-narrative has ruined a lot of new horror for me. I do not like going into horror movies having to ask myself “alright what’s this gonna be a metaphor about” rolling my eyes before the title sequence because you already know that the director is sniffing his own farts. Same with Aster now.
The popularity of Forest Gump??? Just saying, people referred to it lile it was a documentary. As if it really happened. Just gross. Reality is ignorance punishes not delivers, poor messaging.
EEAAO is woeful. Its a goofy kung foo movie with slightly better production values. I didn't make ot through the whole movie.
Absolutely dreadful movies that everyone seems to love: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Forrest Gump, Terminator 2, Interstellar.
Scarface for me - everyone I know loves and glorifies it, and to me it always come across as a nasty, sleazy and ill intentioned movie that seeks to deify Tony Montana as some sort of hero when he's quite possibly one of the most evil men in cinema history. I find the love for this film obnoxious, not to mention it's aged horribly.
I will plant my flag in the loving Tenet camp. I don't understand why people feel the need to fully understand a movie in order to like it.
Hereditary (2018)
Agreed. Awful movie. The most shocking part happens midway through and then the movie falls apart.
This is off topic, but am I the only one who finds the Star Trek episode "City on the Edge of Forever" to be somewhat overrated?
Somewhat overrated but still probably top 15, not top 10. What are your favorite episodes?
@@fattymcfatso1083 I am not a Trekkie, but would be interested in any recommendations.
@@fattymcfatso1083 Any reaction to this RUclips upload?: "The 5 BEST Episodes of Star Trek: TOS!"
@@youtuber5305 Which one's were picked as top 5?
@@youtuber5305 Well, here are some of my favorite episodes by season. Season 1: Balance of Terror; Arena; City. Season 2: Amok Time; Mirror, Mirror (my all time favorite episode); The Doomsday Machine; Journey to Babel; Bread and Circuses (the one everyone sleeps on, but this may be changing). Season 3: Is there in Truth No Beauty?; All Our Yesterdays.
The dark knight. I don’t hate it but I just don’t love it and think it’s overrated as hell.
Disagree with EEAAO. I think Michelle Yeoh is brilliant in that. However I only watch Ferris Bueller for the Emulator, being a synth nerd, lol
