Something in the film industry isn't quite right. Can movies be rated "good" but be lethally dull at the same time?

The "Hobbit" trilogy is case in point.

Now I'm reading Disney is going to release more Star Wars stuff.

The Mandalorian is ok, not great, and it is predictable, but ok.

I heard that, so not looking forward to a cliffhanger. I wish all shows would have at least an extended episode to wrap things up if cancelling.

Thats why I liked the end of travellers, it bought the story full circle.. I wish it had gone on but at least the last episode gave an ending... Leaving people hanging isn't fair.

Yes, Travellers had an ending I could live with.

I did finish The OA now, and yes.. I would like to see what comes next, but I guess we can still at least guess what it will be like initially based on the reason Hap wanted to go there (what a creep) lol trying to be vague for anyone who hasn't watched yet, so I hope that makes sense.

Happens all the time in my opinion. The high 'critical acclaims' are for some of the most boring movies I have ever seen! What gives?

I havent seen the Hobbit but I did see the first part of LOTR and no wonder it was so long, they took the book word for word..

Highly acclaimed /popular Harry Potter OMG so bored I fell asleep half way through the first and have never been tempted to watch the others.

I always try to finish a book I start. But with an author such as Dickens, the movie might be the wiser choice.

It's a short series (4 episodes I think, we're 2 in). It has some moments that might make you smirk or chuckle a little, and I'd say it's 'okay.'

I'm hoping a season 2 is in the works.

WE just finished that. I thought it started off weak, and by episode 3, I was set to give up.

But really enjoyed it after that.

I'll have to add Truth Seekers to my list. That looks like it could be funny. I've liked movies with some of those actors in it!

Have any of you seen the trailer for the movie, "Nobody." It has the actor from Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad.. it is so strange seeing him in that type of role, but it doesn't look bad lol

I have seen that movie so many times. My best friend's family was so distraught by her passing. They had a picture of her framed on their wall and would light a candle for her for many years on the eve of her death.

Heather, this is not the movie, it is a mini series done by Netflix. Its season one and I am not sure when the second season will be out.
