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
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
The movie had blue curtained takes on the already blue curtained takes of the book. It was at its roots a masturbatory power fantasy of treat consumption and nothing more.
