Yeah, but the hype around Dynamite was way overblown. I made it through the entire movie, but I was expecting to be clutching my sides laughing based on the buzz. Instead, I get a semi-retarded main character, a stereotypical Hispanic in a white town, a ridiculous brother, and an uncle living in a trailer. It was like a bad Beavis and Butthead episode, only without the good music.
If we're talking about relatively recent movies, J. Edgar has a great cast and a seductive trailer, but it might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Also, wouldn't say I "hated" Resevoir Dogs, but I saw it two decades after its release, and by then it had been hyped up to me by enough people that I expected a lot more.
Also, was anyone else disappointed with the ending of Resevoir Dogs? That's what made the movie for a lot of people I know, but it spoiled it for me. Every time I bring it up, I get shat on, but it just seemed like the sort of ending I'd have as a six year old kid playing with toy soldiers... everyone dies... maybe?!
Reservoir Dogs is dope. Raising Arizona a classic? Uhhhh hell no. And Millers Crossing was weak shit too.
omg, me too! Well, not the 15 or 16 part. I tried watching it about 5-8 years ago and just couldn't get into it (outside of a few scenes, and the sound track).
It was probably amazing when it came out, but hasn't aged well? I didn't really like it either, but i was also a kid when i tried to watch it.
A few on here I kind of liked, actually. I'll add Old School. So much hype. Part of it could just be me hating Will Ferrell, but did not care for it. I still mean to give it another shot, just to make sure it wasn't my mood that day, but was not a fan at all.
Not much of a movie buff. But some years ago a man who had just met me and knew essentially nothing about me needed to provide an evening entertainment (long story, not relevant) so he took me to a double feature. He said one was an action flick with Clint Eastwood and the other a romantic comedy. I thought I'd hate the first and like the second; it was the other way around. The first was In the Line of Fire. Eastwood's character was a total dick (so of course the much younger woman fell in love with him because he was an asshole, something I can't figure out) but the flick itself was pretty good, held interest and had a real story, not just shoot-em-up. Can't remember the name of the comedy, some nerd with an Elvis thing steals a suitcase full of cocaine and he and his girlfriend dodge bad guys trying to sell it. Aside from the fact that people selling suitcases of cocaine fit my category of bad guys, this flick had EVERY stereotype. The woman (young, white, blonde, even named Alabama) had been lured into prostitution by black pimps whose every word was profane, they were ruled by mob bosses who of course were Italian, there is a scene with movie moguls, Jewish of course. It was totally putrid.
