I'll nominate Baby Driver. All the promise of the opening scene fizzles out after 20 minutes, and then its just a bunch of people yelling at each other in dingy garages. Oh, and Kevin Spacey "acting" smug. (His only character)

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker

I was in the theater just waiting for the movie to end so I could go home. I started watching this series in 1977 when I was 10 and I had to finish it. The last three movies should be deemed non-cannon and they should give the series back to Lucas to restore the Force in the universe.

eh.

in what, 10 movies there is like 1.75 good star wars movies.

lucas went 0/3 in the prequels with all the money and creative direction he wanted to have, and he made some of the worst movies of all time.

his wife, and lawence kasden is who made star wars good. lucas is a hack, and really only has any fame at all because its good to be friends with Steven Spielberg.

After Luke sucked the blue milk we all owed jar jar binks an apology. Billions squandered. How do people who love money so much let this happen?

I keep a running list of things from my childhood Hollywood has destroyed. Star Wars, Star Trek, terminator, aliens, battlestar galactica, etc. I live in fear they will remake big trouble in little china.

I didn't mind this movie at all. Different strokes I guess.

Talladega Nights. Too stupid to finish. Did like the line: "Thank You Baby Jesus" however.
