One wasn’t too… punchy. That’s why Two is a fan favorite. I like One for the world building and the character and story development. Plus, holy hell, the final rise to power stuff is always soooo satisfying. I loved how Modern Family riffed off it.
I've never been a fan of having art critiqued for me.
All of the new Star Wars movies/tv shows.

Most movies by Christopher Nolan
whenever they box it out on the ground for 500 hours in every single modern movie
The first half of one battle after another.
....2nd half was ok.
What'd i learn? When revolution becomes permanent, it stops being about change and becomes another form of tyranny
I've always been curious about Citizen Kane. I haven't seen it. Is it boring too?
As with everything, it all depends on what you find boring.
There's no action in Citizen Kane. There's a small mystery who's answer you may have seen in other media without knowing. Mostly it is a biography about a fictional character, complete with interviews with friends and enemies of said character (the titular Kane). You only actually get to see and know the character through flashbacks.
It should be noted that the character is actually based partly on a real person.
For what it is worth, I found it thrilling as a snot nosed teen who watched it in class for some reason or another. It suffers a little from its reputation as "the greatest film ever made", but, it remains a very good character drama. Interest in the history of film and filmmaking will also go a long way towards making the movie compelling.
yep. a movie i found more engaging from the black and white era was 12 angry men

Harry Potter 6 for me. I could not get through this movie. I tried it about 5 times so far. Same with the book. I tried reading it at least 10 times including listening to it as an audiobook.
It's just insufferable.
(And don't worry, Rowling-haters, I of course pirated it except of the copy of the book that I got when I was a kid)

Lord of the Rings
Books, sure. The books are dense as all fuck, and I get that a lot of people aren't interested in things like the ancestry of a tree.
Movies, though, are way more efficient with the storytelling. Especially the theatrical version, despite how much is missed out compared to the extended.
