I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

    Donnie darko and the fifth element are terribly overrated. Films made to make teenagers think they’re deeper than they are.

    Okay, I can at least see where you’re coming from with Donnie Darko, but I’m completely confused when it comes to The Fifth Element.

    • Did The Fifth Element even have any teenage characters at all?

    • It doesn’t seem like it dealt with anything remotely like typical real-world teenage life.

    • I can’t see how it treated anything as being especially deep, either. I mean, the characters were flat and goofy, not complex and angst-ridden.

    I mean, there are countless movies aimed at teens could maybe fit your criticism, but this seems like a movie where it’s simply inapplicable.

    Is there any chance that you’re thinking of a different movie with a similar name?
