For me the shape of water was the worst film I've ever seen because the whole story was just so weird and ridiculous... An alien and a woman getting together.

The worst part about it is that critics at the time were praising the film...

    The Shape of Water is a movie made by a guy obsessed with old movies. If you're not into the aesthetic of old monster movies and old movie musicals, I can see why you wouldn't enjoy it much.

    I thought Ready Player One was pretty bad, especially considering that it had a large budget and an incredibly experienced director at the helm. The source material was just too sparse to pull out anything besides soypoint-1 soypoint-2

      I tried to read the book. Made it about 50 pages before I DNF'd. The protagonist is just such a snobby condescending little shit. He whines about being ostracized and bullied but he constantly talks down to everyone at every opportunity. It felt like a power fantasy for the people who think other people don't like them because they're nerds, but really it's because they're just assholes.

        The movie adds in a fundamental misunderstanding of Mobile Suit Gundam (because they couldn't get Ultraman) and The Iron Giant lmao
