I am also going to throw one out there that some people might have issues with, but that's just how I feel about it: Age of Ultron. It's not a bad movie by any means. But I feel like it just retread a lot of the same stuff from the first Avengers film. It could have been really great, like the first one was, but it didn't quite live up to its predecessor. And like I said, this isn't just a thread for bad films. Average to good films can also be mentioned if people feel that they could have been even better.

I agree. Also suddenly they just drop storylines on you. Like hey Hulk and Black Widow have a romance now because..I don't know.

That wasted potential is compounded by the fact that Ultron plays a major part in Annihilation: Conquest. If the MCU ever gets around to adapting that post Infinity War they've already shot themselves in the foot.

'Passengers'i recently watched that movie, and although it wasn't a shit movie, I felt like it could have been much better. They could have made it a really good thriller with the guy being a total creep, but instead the writers half-stepped and made to a romance.
I disagree. I actually rather enjoyed the film. The sets and production design were phenomenal. Makes me want to go on a Space Cruise.

Me and my friend enjoyed it
Originally posted by Patient_Leechi didn't say anything about the production values of the film, my issues with it were script-related.

a visually stunning movie with a mismanaged story is an even bigger affront to me.
Mouth has a very good point, imo. If they had turned it from a sappy romance into a psychological thriller midway through where Pratt's character suddenly isn't just a nice lonely guy looking for a human connection, but a dangerous creep in disguise, it could have been a much better film. The bait-n-switch.
edit: Something like 'What Lies Beneath' (2000), to the backdrop of a space ship.
