The Grudge (2004)

Not scary but ridiculous and over the top. The way the movie deals with time is a novelty but only this can't save it.

Angel Beats! (2010)

Boring and predictable.

Kill List (2011)

It's on my thrills list, but because the direction is very good, it reminds me of Tobe Hopper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and this is high praise! But the plot doesn't matter, it doesn't make sense and, considering reviews calling it twisty, or saying it has a twist ending, I can't condone it if it lacks sense.

Split (2016)

I should've known better than to expect the outcome of one of Shyamalan's newer movies to not be the most predictable one.

The Jacket (2005)

I don't remember well, but from what I recall there aren't any plot twists.

Frailty (2001)

It is creepy. It's also extremely predictable, simplistic and dumb. And the ending is just terrible., possibly the worst ending they could end the movie on, very anticlimactic.

Primer (2004)

Despite the complexity, it only gets you after you see the movie.

A Simple Plan (1998)

I read high praise, but the movie is so simple from beginning to end!

Paulo Júnior's rating:

7.2

The Witch (2015)

One of the worst, most boring movies I've ever watched. Possibly the worst movie in this list.

2369

7.2

7.7

Gattaca (1997)

Interesting yet underused sci-fi concepts in an unambitious sugary romance film with a murder mystery that has almost no screen time and so much back and forth and blood exams that you'd be excused from thinking it's an ad for blood donation.

The Others (2001)

Spoiler it's the same ending as The 6th Sense.

The Game (1997)

Predictable

The obvious solution was the one all along and the supposedly smart guy didn't think of it.

The Machinist (2004)

Super predictable and slow.

Batman Begins (2005)

The drabbest, most uninteresting version of Batman. It's basically Boring Batman.

Jacob's Ladder (1990)

Not even the acclaimed imagery was all that.

8.1

The Exorcist (1973)

It's just disgusting, I don't think there was terror, tension and it was boring and dull most of the time.

And Then There Were None (2015)

No foreshadowing at all

It's just a bunch of made up rules happening onscreen, I don't know what's so special about it at all.

The Handmaiden (2016)

Predictable

Memento (2000)

It's interesting and there's a (predictable) twist in the end. This is one of the better films on this list.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

It doesn't make any sense. I know people say they find meaning in it, but to me this is like Evangelion's ending, it makes no sense and is supposedly philosophical/clever/ambiguous. Bullshit, it's just pretentious.

Kubrick's cinematography is top-notch, though.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - PlayStation 2

The ending is good, I'll admit. But the rest is SO bad!!

Paulo Júnior's rating:

8.8

Mass Effect 2 - Xbox 360

So acclaimed because of story, but the story is very simple, unsurprising and bland. Acclaimed because of the choices, but it's impossible to pinpoint what leads to what.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion... (1997)

Explains absolutely nothing.

Voters of this movie list - View all

What other people said made me hyped. I was underwhelmed after seeing. It looks a lot like an Overrated list, but it's not, it's just the ones that personally disappointed me. Of course, many of these I didn't see when they first came out, so that might explain in part my disappointment. If one sees many movies that used The Sixth Sense's twist before watching that movie itself, the impact will be lessened, for example.
