Have you ever watched a movie you loved and thought “Oh, that’s not what I thought it would be”?
same. It’s uncomfortable.
In fact, this is such a common experience that Reddit user /u/PhantomAvenger received 27,000 upvotes when they asked, “What’s a movie that was critically acclaimed when it was first released, but is now hated?”, adding that for them, the first movie to… Issuing it. What came to my mind was The Blind Side.
“Not that it’s hateful, but it was funny to see,” says user Ishkabibble54. Catch me if you can “, based on the memoirs of a serial liar that turned out to be a pile of slander.”
Yes, the whole thing It really could be a complete lie. a fraud? He lies? Say it’s not so!
Dependent-Vast-210 adds: “Shakespeare in love. boring. Unrealistic. He doesn’t deserve an Oscar. But a great promotion.
“Braveheart, for sure,” says Affectionate-Camp506. Being a history nut smashes this movie.
“It’s a love letter from fans of medieval carnage and has the historical accuracy of not being able to hit the water if you fall overboard.”
As a Scottish person I can say, it’s certainly inaccurate but does it make me feel deeply patriotic? Good. no.
Vivid_Revolution read my thoughts and said: “Artist. I don’t know if it’s “hated” but..WTF? Won the Oscar for Best Picture??
literally. This movie was everywhere for a while, and now I’ve never heard of it.
Finally, CorvidCurio killed the romance movie dream in the early 2000s, commenting, “All I heard about The Notebook when it came out was how romantic and beautiful it was. Now, I only hear people talk about it in the context of how toxic, abusive, and unhealthy a relationship is.”
“Threatening to kill yourself if someone doesn’t date you, while they’re on a date with their friend, is not romantic and it’s weird to me that anyone would watch that and think differently.”
