Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

The Vvitch. I thought it started well but the ending was wildly unexpected and made no sense for how the movie set everything up.

I learned, back in the 1990s, how to spot a movie I won't like. So for me it's The Edge (about a thoroughly dislikable protagonist who we're supposed to admire just because he's played sympathetically by Anthony Hopkins) and Accidental Hero (aka Hero, a satire so brimming with sickly earnestness that it fails completely at satire).

Jurassic Park.

It's just jump scares and dinos running around. That's it.

It was a technical marvel of the time, which is important to the people who made it, and maybe a few film buffs.

It is just another monster movie.

Friend of mine said this when JP 2 came out. Ruined the whole series for me after that.

The first one had some of the plot from the book. Everything after has about as much plot as a porno where instead of butts or dicks or boobs, it's screams.
