I will be watching Cloverfield, the most criticized movie in that post, next. Lets see how that goes.

Yesterday I asked for movie recommendation. (Here[^]). Most of the responses were in favour of Citizen Kane. I saw the movie. My opinion: Its BORRRRRIIIINGGGGG. Just an opinion.

Citizen Kane is rated as one of the best films of all time by the American Film Institute, actually #1, but it has to be taken in context. What Citizen Kane did when it came out was unprecedented. Wikipedia has some info on it. But your right about it being boring these days. It is a piece of American movie history though. From your list, Requiem for a dream is a very unique and well done film. I'd recommend that one next, though it is not an uplifting film. Also not sure of what you have seen previously or have access to, The Godfather series is an excellent example of American film making as well as the recent film The Departed.

Yes, avoid all movies that get rave reviews and that "everybody is seeing".

Most people find critically acclaimed films to be "good", but in the end, you have to make your own judgments. For instance, many people don't like Kevin Costner films, but I find them to be a generally decent experience. I even liked Waterworld, which is generally considered a very bad film, and "typical" of Costner's abilities as an actor/director. I watched The Dark Knight last night, and wasn't really that impressed with the movie overall. Sure, Keith Ledger did a great job as the Joker, but other than that, it was kind of - well - lacking.

I found that movie very interesting. The problem nowadays is that people do not want to think anymore, they just want flashing action on the screen. Go get yourself a superhero movie, you will probably enjoy it. Just an opinion.

Dark Knight I loved, but the one thing I found really let it down was Christain Bale's bloody batman voice ... he sounded awful, would have been better to not try and sound different at all.

Ditto. The best bit of that film was the Keith Ledger as the joker, but even he was annoying in that he constantly licked his lips. Batmans bloody lisp was embarassing - when he first spoke in the film at the cinema I thought he was taking the piss, even my gilfriend started laughing. Overly long dull film - massively over-hyped piece of trash.

Nope. I dont like superhero movies either. I liked Eagle Eye, 1408, Amityville horror, pursuit of happiness among the movies I have seen recently. Damn I am watching too many movies and this does not includes Hindi films.

I have a very good movie suggestion for you: Before the Devil Knows you're dead[^]. It is very good and certainly not boring.

No. Never heard of that. I have seen Blade. Good for one time viewing.

The book is better. I found the film got boring quickly. (Well the book is actually a short story, it couldn't fill a full novel so not surprising it couldn't fill a full length film)

Its something that always happens. You a read and then watch a movie based on it. The odds are that you will not like it. It happened to me in Da Vinci Code. The book is far far better than the film.
