I don't like the lord of the rings series.
It's not bad bad but with that budget, actors etc it could have been so much better :-/
The hobbit: kind of the same feeling.

Upvoted for actual unpopular opinion.
Can you elaborate on what specifically you didn't like about LOTR? Peter Jackson has always had a penchant for using cutting-edge CG tech in his films, to the point that some people call them tech demos. I think WETA's effects stand out as the best parts of the series, but the cinematography, sets, and acting are about as good as it gets in my opinion
The Hobbit, however....

Inception is one of the worst executions of an interesting idea. My imagination can imagine anything. Hollywood's? Well I guess you imagined too hard so now there's people with guns. Oh and this applies to everyone.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original) was a terrible film. The only reason people say it is the greatest classic horror film is because of nostalgia. The acting was horrible and it wasn't scary in the slightest (I understand it was probably for the time).

The Godfather is meh at best and the acting is melodramatic and overplayed.
Horror movies are unfairly judged because most people who do not like horror movies watch them for the wrong reasons.
Citizen Kane and 2001: A Space Odyssey suck now.
There are old movies that have aged much better, like The Man in the White Suit and Colossus: The Forbin Project. These should be the ones we call classics.
If Pulp Fiction is on, unless it's been a few years I'll probably switch the channel, if Django Unchained is on though...I'm grabbing a snack and watching it everytime. This isn't to say Pulp Fiction sucks, just think Django's more entertaining.

I just don't like Star Wars and I like sci-fi in general. But Star Wars is just one of those stories I can't make myself to like.
I remember fondly the prequels with pod racing and that red black guy with double lightsaber. I wached those movies as a child.
Later I tried watching all of them and I could not bring myself to finish even one. The dated effects (good for their time) just took me out of the story way too much.
I also tried waching the new ones, but they just felt boring so I dropped them.
I don't know what is it about Star Wars, but I just can't bring myself to like them even with nostalgia by my side.

6 Underground was a good movie. Michael Bay is just making fun of himself, and I thought it was hilarious
