And now for something completely different...

[Bricktop]

I'm going to list ten movies I have seen that were hailed as masterworks and I found them utterly dull.



Feel free to add your own.



1. Dances with Wolves. 3 hours of tedium Americana that went nowhere, said nothing, served no purpose.



2. Gravity. Amazing special effects combined with an thoroughly absurd plot starring two very overrated actors.



3. Chariots of Fire. This thing won an Oscar because critics assumed that somewhere in the dross was a "message". There wasn't. Just dross.



4. Star Wars. The last one. Absolutely awful, predictable and another attempt to portray women as men. They are not. They never will be. They should be grateful for that.



5. The Revenant. The World's Greenest Actor, Leo De Caprio in a silly western "back from the dead" plot driven by "deus ex machina" nonsense.



6. Roma. This thing won an Oscar!!! It has to be seen to be believed...but first you have to stay awake long enough to realise it isn't about anything.



7. Quantum of Solace. I love James Bond, and Daniel Craig did the role proud. But this thing made no sense, had no suspense, and wasted all its talent.



8. Interstellar. Stellar it aint. Confusing, irrational, nonsensical. Might have known with the very dull cast in it.



9. Yesterday. A feckless failed INDIAN song writer wakes up to find that he is the only person who knows Beatle songs and becomes a superstar. Yes, it IS that bad.



10. Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. It defies belief that this tired character is being dusted off for another farcical run around. At least it featured the "fridge" moment that will be remembered as the silliest escape routine in cinema history.



Anyone else?

The ones that I saw I agree.

I saw Munich, Edge of War. Disappointing. On the other hand, Driven about John DeLorean was better than I expected.

No Time to Die sucked.

[Bricktop]

Haven't seen it yet. Not worth the effort???

[Anonymous]

Belfast was a disappointment.

[Anonymous]

The Irishman started off good, but then it went downhill.

Not at all.

The Equalizer 2 didn't do it for me.

Gotti with John Travolta as the legendary head of the Gambino crime family sucked. So did El Camino.

Can you give an example.

10 lauded musical artists that I find dull and boring.



1. Eric Clapton. Overrated by a long way. Not seen him live...but from accounts, that's a good thing.



2. Fleetwood Mac. Not the original Fleetwood Mac. The Abba tribute band that calls themselves Fleetwood Mac. Dull.



3. Mariah Carey. The screeching makes my ears bleed.



4. Coldplay. I know...everyone thinks Coldplay are dull.



5. ELO. Nice little pop tunes, but Jeff Lynn is as animate as a cigar store Indian and looks even less interested in his songs than I am.



6. U2. Dreary at best, sanctimonious at worst. Yawn.



7. Elton John. His best music was decades ago. Literally.



8. Metallica. The same noise repeated as nauseum.



9. Ed Sheeran. I haven't listened to much of his stuff, but what I've heard is background dross.



10. Jethro Tull. I loved JT in the Aqualung/Thick as a Brick days...but since then they've played the same songs over and over.



I haven't included some artists like Adele, Britney or Justin Bieber because I've  never listened to them. Otherwise they may have made the list.
