    Unpopular opinion but, Avatar 2: The Way of Water. While it was mostly visually stunning, the writing was just “too painful”.

      Very popular opinion. What a huge waste of time. Most expensive B movie ever, and doesn’t have the camp value to pull off how bad the script is.

    War of the Worlds, 2005, it’s the only film so bad I was genuinely angry about it after I’d seen it. Not just a bad film it wasted my time.

        I remember the movie really ramping up towards unconventional things, and then ending in disappointingly conventional ways. “And then the son with whom they got separated to a near-certain death is alive after all, and they find each other and get reunited.”

        Also, as has been discussed to death at the time, the absolute lack of build-up towards the resolution, which leaves it with a taste of “wait, so why exactly did I watch what happens to this bunch of randos?”

        I have nothing against people who liked it, but the final act felt like such a let-down compared to the beginning and middle of it, that I can’t really remember it positively.
