In the golden age of entertainment, there are hundreds and thousands of amazing movies to choose from, with more coming out all the time.

But there always seem to be some that become popular with the masses for no particular reason...


Redditor shirorentz23 asked:

"What's the worst movie that everyone seems to love?"

'Fast and Furious'

"The 'Fast and Furious' movies."

- TruthYeller54

"I remember one time someone told me they went to space in one of the movies as a funny joke, but then I learned it wasn't a joke."

- zzzzz94

The Greatest Showman

"I will admit 'The Greatest Showman' soundtrack slaps, but I thought it was a mediocre movie. And that's being pretty generous."

- shirorentz23

"Agreed. Why bother making a movie 'based on' the life of someone pretty horrid in real life only to then completely rewrite his story?"

"It should have been an original story about Zac Efron and Zendaya’s characters, with some nods to PT Barnum for historical context and Easter eggs."

"Plus the 'main' song isn’t even the best one."

- Jonbob24

"Someone described it as a movie that PT Barnum would have written about himself, and that made it more palatable for me. It's kind of like how '300' is being told by a Spartian who exaggerates."

- The_Perfect_Fart

'Sharknado'

"'Sharknado.'"

"But we love it BECAUSE it’s a bad movie."

- Mini_Maniac10

DC Films in General

"DC movies, they just seem so bland. I just can't follow it at all."

- Efficient_Stress2181

"With a few exceptions (most of which are Batman movies), DC has this ongoing issue where most of their live-action adaptions are s**t and you're better off with the animated movies."

- CyptidProductions

"I'll never understand the diehard DC / Snyder zealots."

"I love DC comics and DC characters. I even like some Snyder movies ('Dawn of the Dead,' '300,' and I'll even defend 'Watchmen')."

"But his DC movies are so, so bad. How people violently defend them makes me feel like I'm from an alternate universe."

- BeeCJohnson

Poor Dwayne

"Anything starring the Rock."

- Life_Entrepreneur_18

"I swear, I think the only two movies I actually enjoyed him in was 'The Rundown' and 'Walking Tall.'"

- duhcisive

'The Notebook'

"'The Notebook.'"

- StephanieSin

"It does a terrible job at portraying romance or relationships. Bad decisions were made and it wasn't even an emotional movie. The actors were great, though."

- trippy_goth_biscuit

'The Blind Side'

"'The Blind Side.' It’s just a lifetime movie with a budget."

- Seer78877

"Not to mention the guy it’s about hated the movie."

- traws06

Marvel Movies, Too

"I just don’t get what’s so great about the Marvel movies. Every one I’ve seen was a formulaic CGI s**tfest with a bland and predictable plot and boring jokes."

- gyokuro8882

No Will, Either

"Most Will Ferrel movies. I don't hate Will Ferrel, I just don't find the humor in most of his films that funny."

- the_human_dirigible

"90% of the time he plays a manchild."

"The other 10% are 'The Other Guys,' 'Megamind,' and 'The Lego Movie.'"

- eddmario

'Avatar'

"' Avatar.'"

- BatonVerte

"Seriously, I’m on this train with you. I never understood the hype. I didn’t watch it when it came out only to watch it years later and have none of it be memorable at all."

- Germangunman

"The first 'Avatar' movie is truly uninspiring and formulaic to the point that before watching it in anticipation of the second, I could not come up with a single quote from the movie despite having seen it obsessively when it first came out."

- dentastic

'Pretty Woman'

"'Pretty Woman'... A young sex worker falling in love with an old man's (money), and the film portrays it as a romantic love affair..."

- roseotte

'Transformers'

"The 'Transformers' movies are hot-a** garbage."

- shyjuan

"The first one was great because the technology was very new, and it took itself seriously."

"It then went off a cliff very quickly."

- Garfie489

'Twilight'

"'Twilight.'"

- Ali8ly

"Even fans of 'Twilight' know it’s bad. I think it’s sort of a guilty pleasure even for fans of the books."

- hampig

"It’s very much like a soap opera. You don’t want to watch one, you never intend to, but if the TV is left on the channel and you catch TWO SECONDS of an episode, suddenly it’s two hours later and you’re wondering if that person’s twin will wake up from a coma."

- LadyBirdGerhl

'Unbreakable'

"'Unbreakable.'"

"When Samuel L. Jackson says, 'They called me… Mister Glaaaaassssss,' I laughed so godd**n hard. It was ridiculous."

- KieshaK

'The Polar Express'

"'The Polar Express'!"

- dontmindmeimjust1cat

"God, I can't stand that movie. It's boring and the animation is creepy."

- just-doing-a-job

Though there's a lot to choose from in the entertainment world, it's obvious that there are bound to be some films that simply go wrong.

But this is also a reminder that everyone likes different things, and what might be popular for one will be a flop for the next.
