Thread: Things you hate that you're supposed to like

Definitely No Country for Old Men.
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (ok I don't hate it, it's just my second least favorite out of the six).
Metallica
Fallout 3
Universal Healthcare
The first two Metroid games.
A majority of recycling.

It's only redeeming features are it's beautiful cinematography, great acting and decent execution of an overrated story. All of which are not enough to give it a place on every single 'greatest movies' list that exists.

All it is is a critic's wet dream.
