Inspired by the thread of comments we had on Star Wars original trilogy, are there movies or film series you considered great at some point, or that other people consider great but that you guys consider kind of 
? Or maybe not the masterpiece everyone seems to believe?

Drive was aggressively mediocre, trending towards bad but not quite reaching it. Forgettable and unremarkable are the two best words for it.
Blade Runner 2049 was also serviceable but ultimately very low impact. It's the sort of thing I'd expect to be argued about whether or not it's a good mindless hangover movie with the points for it being how vapid and aesthetically pleasant it is vs. points against being its length and pretenses of being lofty. The near-universal praise for it is concerning.

Absolutely agreed on blade runner 2049. If environment was the sole factor for movie quality it'd be the greatest of all time. But the plot straddles a 6 or 7. HE HAS TO DIE B-B-B-BECAUSE THEY NEED A MARTYR. yeah sure man whatever go take him to see his daughter and die on her front porch or some shit rather than going to the only group that could treat you.

I tried to watch Blade Runner 2049 twice and both times I had to turn it off once Jared Leto showed up
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yeah Jared Leto sucked. I rewatched both BR movies recently, and Blade Runner was even better than I remembered it (as always) while I don't think I'll ever watch 2049 again. It's like a kid putting on his big boy pants and trying to live up to daddy's movie. How do you benefit from decades of innovation and make the movie look worse? Look at the difference between Deckard's apartment and Goosling's sterile 2015-looking piece of shit:
And the only time the music came anywhere close to the DIVINITY
of the original was when they inserted actual Vangelis music at the end. I felt something for a split second. BWOMMM BWOMMMM BWOMMM oh wow, so sublime, thank you Denis. Mass Effect featured hours of 10/10 ambient music 17 years ago. No excuse. Deckard and especially Rachel should not have been in it. I will say I think Ana de Armas' character was great, and le crying bandaid man scene was a legitimately excellent moment in cinema. I will also say that Blade Runner is my favorite movie of all time, and 2049 is good enough that it didn't piss me off. Just a 7/10 vs a 10/10 despite having the source material and aesthetic already laid out.

eh not really bait. i used to like tarintino when i was in middle school, but once you actually start paying attention you realize everything he does is a cliche ripoff.
Like i uses to like Rwservoir dogs when I first watched it when I was 11 i liked it, but i rewatched it a few years ago and literally 99% of the script is just them yelling the word rat and then a torture scene which is so cringey and stupid it actually makes me laugh.
Most of the conversations make no sense, and the whole crying scene at the end is undeserved, because i don't care about harvey or that stupid cop. Its like watching a comedy only its not funny and just boring except for small sections. Harvey Kietal also needs to stop xrying in movies its actually r-slurred, i like him as an actor but that cry is so terrible its not even funny just painfully annoying and unconvincing. Like listenjng to an r-slured manbaby banshee. Bad Liuetenant did it too, and I skip that scene evry tkme even though i like that movie, just so shit.

They're like any movies where the director is a writer, except it got worse as he gained clout and became unfettered. When I saw Death Proof, I thought it was intentional that the foids were the most annoying motherlovers of all time, and it was building up to Kurt fricking killing them so the audience could cheer. But no, Quentin actually thought their yammering was cool and enjoyable. An example of a good writer movie is Exorcist III.

Old ugly creep sits down and writes just weirdo shit and then wins oscars for best screenplay, its embarrassing. Reminds me of that school shooter from the movie the dirties, who tries so hard to be cool entirely by imitating movies but is just an ugly freak.

I feel like he's a natural film genius with an obsessive passion, but is at the same time an eccentric weirdo. I think he shoots himself in the foot trying to be post modern and non-sincere. If he cut out the n-word and immaturity, made his movies more serious, he could've honestly had a shot at being the greatest director of all time. He's in a difficult category because he makes some absolute schlock, but he does make it really well made. His dialogue I think is his weakest part, I never understood why it's praised, I just feel like it's Tarantino holding different sock puppets talking to himself. Especially with coomer fetish moments like the French girlfriend going on about wanting a pot belly.
Jackie Brown will forever be his greatest film because it was Quentin at his most restrained, it's a window into "what could've been". I think Kill Bill is actually his worst because it's just him soyjakking for 5 hours over his girlboss OC who calls everyone "b-word"

I feel the point of his films is style over substance, and the style being overly heady and dumb is on purpose. The movies are supposed to elicit a very specific feel and not much thought. Its similar to Blade Runner 2049 were the story is a vehicle to show cool scenes. Movies like Blade Runner and the catalogue of Tarantino are pieces used to convey emotion more then anything. Once again using Blade Runner, its meant to show the shift in human apathy towards a cool looking but shitty future. This pairs well with the themes of release as well as rejection of both sides of the societal coin. Tarantino is similarly trying to project an emotion to the viewer, with movies like Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown this would be similar to the feel of "teenage boy coolness" that you mention. They are supposed to show the 80s and 90s style of director, cool over everything else. This is contrasted to his writing, which regardless of your opinion is generally regarded as good. In many ways his writing harkens to older directors like Leone and Kurosawa, who focused more on dialogue and good writing, like Kurosawa's The Bad Sleep Well. The Bad Sleep Well is a good example of an earlier movie that tried to do what Tarantino would later do. The movie has a very eccentric style, for the time, that is supposed to accentuate the story in a way that would make it feel like a western story to Japanese audiences, the movie being a take on Hamlet/Amleth. Tarantino is essentially trying to communicate through feeling rather then logic or intelligence because the themes of movies like Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir Dogs are hard to explain or show though a story, but are easy to make some one feel. His movies are the epitome of "you know it when you see it", they should be bad but they aren't. This is also why he's so popular, because you don't need to be intelligent to get a Tarantino film and its deeper themes.
