For me, it's Wicked.

I generally like musicals, and I watched both the movie and the musical (w/ my SO, who loved it), and neither clicked for me. I felt the musical fell apart in the second half (I didn't like the ending at all), and according to my SO, most of my complaints are where it deviated from the book. The movie was a bit better (and I'll probably watch the second one, just to compare), but I still felt it was a bit generic. It goes way too hard on DEI concepts (skin color), and the characters seemed a bit shallow. I hope the second movie draws more from the book than the musical. It wasn't "bad," it was just pretty mid for me, not the knockout experience it was claimed to be.

The music was pretty good though, I'll give it that.

Beetlejuice. What an awful fucking movie.

I try to avoid a lot of discourse around movies/books I haven't seen yet as the expectation can ruin it for me. That said, Infinity War and Ready Player One (the book) still get me angry thinking back on them and the hype didn't help. (Public opinion seems to have flipped largely on the latter, but there was a point when it was held up)

This is me but with Shawshank Redemption. I get what it was trying to go for but I just didn't vibe with it. I can appreciate the fact that so many people saw something in it that I didn't. To me it was decent but by no means one of the best films ever

The Exorcist might be the most boring horror movie ever made.
