Eight Men Out (1988)
Terribly boring and clichéd.
How can so many people think this is a great movie? I couldn't make it past the 30 minute mark. The script is full of cliches and there's upbeat Dixieland jazz playing in the background of most scenes. This music was distracting, annoying, and threw the serious tone completely off. Also, the scenes were poorly constructed with tons of quick exposition in the form of conversations between people, but with almost no character development. I like baseball, I used to watch almost every Atlanta Braves game and I love Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, The Natural, etc. But this was a major disappointment.
Bone Tomahawk (2015)
Disappointing, Poorly Written
The writing is bizarrely ultra-correct, as though an educated person in the 19th century wrote a formal letter to a prospective employer, except everyone spoke this way. This type of writing is inauthentic, distracting, and off-putting. The "old man" (Richard Jenkins) was extremely annoying, yes I know he's supposed to be, but this was over-the-top. I couldn't stand him towards the end and I was hoping he'd die. Kurt and the rest of the cast did a great job but the plot was hopelessly plodding. The first and last 15 minutes were very good, the rest was predictable and boring.
