Most loved movie/show that you hated
Okay, this is the reverse question raised in another post. What show or movie did you hate that everyone else seemingly raved about?
I'll take the first bullet...
For me it was Mad Max:Fury Road. I was kinda meh about Tom Hardy as the new Max. Still, I gave it a chance... gave up 20 minutes in, didn't watch it again ever.
The movie's biggest failing, to my mind, was that it completely ignored the carefully constructed world of the first three movies, particularly 2 and 3. In those movies, Miller showed us this world driven by scarcity. We see Max scrambling to catch a few drops of precious gasoline in an old aluminum pie plate. We see The Humungus carefully measure out the bullets he will use because they are so rare.
The entire plot of the second movie was driven by the battle to get control of a supply of gasoline. The entire concept of Barter Town (powered by pig feces) in the third movie is based on scarcity.
In Fury Road, I watched the villainous villain stupidly dump a huge sum of water over his people just so he could see them scramble for it before most of it washed away. It was at the point where I saw the flame-throwing, gas-guzzling guitar that I gave up. In a world of "blood and fire" these things were simply stupid... but they looked cool, didn't they?
And that was the problem for me. By all accounts, it was a very good ACTION movie. It just wasn't a good MAD MAX movie.
FWIW...
