I think "A Clockwork Orange" is a brilliant movie by a very good director, based on a book with the same title. It is disturbing and a very hard watch, violent and sick. I assume it is a harder watch for women than for men. It is definitely thought provoking and it is not for everyone.
Thank you. Finally, a realistic review. I don't see the "brilliant" part, but I agree with you on the rest. For me, it was the worst, but I avoid a lot of films I think I won't like, so I haven't been exposed to many that might fall in the "worst" category, or close to it.
Movies are entertainment, which is a form of art, among the performing arts. Art is all about personal preference. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is not unreaonable that a small minority of people will consider a great movie to be the worst they have seen.
That is neither a knock on the movie nor on the person who thinks it bad. It is all personal preference.
That's not the question though. It's not your most disliked or most favourite movie you've seen in a theatre. Like and dislike is subjective.
Good versus bad is objective. A well made movie is an objective description. A poorly made movie is objective.
You can hate good movies - I despise Gone With The Wind. It's a good movie that I hate.
Oh, I have to agree. That Cocaine Bear movie was awful!
I wouldn't call it awful, but it wasn't scary enough to be horror, nor funny enough to be a comedy. Too many characters, too. It ended up being kind of a nothingburger. I saw it for free, but yeah, I would be annoyed if I paid to see it in theatres.
My vote is for Four Christmases. The only Christmas movie I've ever walked out of. That is an anti-christmas movie if I've ever seen one.
The closest to walking out I ever thought of was "Rocketman". It was like a true musical, when I guess i was expecting more of a biopic. They'd just break out in song in any setting in the film. Plus the over-the-top gay scenes were a bit excessive to me.
That was my reaction. I was expecting a biopic, but found that it was a movie that didn't know if it was a biopic or a musical. Young Reg as a piano prodigy and older Elton playing at the Troubadour on his first US visit were definitely "biopic" (and I agree the gay scenes, while biographical, were a bit excessive), but the all-singing-all-dancing of songs out of chronological order was more "musical."
I gave it another chance though, and this time, watched it as a musical. I didn't expect a biopic this time, but a musical. That way, it worked, and I enjoyed it.
One that I saw in the cinema and have no desire to see again is Havana, a 1990 film with Robert Redford. Not sure what the plot was, but it involved Redford going to Havana for some reason on the eve of the Cuban Revolution. Maybe gambling? We never fully find out. Anyway, he gets involved with some revolutionaries, and the CIA, and I think a journalist, and a few others. Sounds like it might be exciting, but as I recall, it was mostly people just talking. Talking about guerilla activity, yes, but just talking. Two-and-a-half hours of talking. Borrr-ing.
Clockwork Orange. I had to wait in the lobby while my Ex stayed to finish it. He liked it.
If I had seen it the theater, I might say that one too.
For me though, it was Pulp Fiction. It's the only movie I've ever seriously considered walking out on before the end. I actually stood up to leave but my boyfriend convinced me to stay. There were some great performances and good parts, but overall it was a fail for me along with most of Tarantino's movies.
