I was gonna ask why so I could provide a counter argument, but then the question specifically asks for a movie you will never be convinced is good. So I won’t bother lol.
Not the person you're replying to, but for my own POV:
I think the new Dune movies are the best they could be and I'm glad I was able to catch them in theaters, but they've also convinced me that Dune just isn't a franchise I'll ever be interested in. I'm not sure if I'd bother with the third movie, and any spin-offs are also fully out of the question for me.

The godfather movies.
I understand they influenced many other movies but they are just so fucking boring.
Chappie. I had to leave the theater early to prevent any more brain damage.
I agree. It was Short Circuit meets District 9.

The Big Lebowsky
That’s a rough one. Everyone ever loves it… I completely do not get it.

Pi and Requiem for a Dream as a one-two punch.
"Being smart is such a curse I'd rather get a lobotomy" is boring, self-serving and trite, but the Reefer Madness-level "drugs bad" thing in Requiem is unbearable and requires every character to be entirely nonsensical.
Trainspotting was four years old by that point. How critics let Aronofsky get away with it is beyond me. To this day the closest I've been from walking out of a movie theatre. The only reason I stuck around was it was in a festival and I was there with other people.
Right there with you on these two. So overhyped.
IT (2017).
I'm rereading the book right now and just watched the movie. While I agree it's... not good and certainly not faithful to the source material, I think the kids were all fantastic. They acted their little hearts out and - in my opinion - really nailed the characters.

Do you like the one from 1990?
I tried watching that one a few years ago. It aged poorly
La la land. I hate that shit, I was happy when he lost the Oscar and I hadn't even seen the one he won.
Poor Things. Watched it in the cinema and it was just disgusting, I don't care how critically acclaimed it is.
What was disgusting about it? (I absolutely loved it)
A mix of half the movie being porn, the plot centering around a child in an adult woman's body doing nothing but having sex, the overall message being "women having sex with everyone makes them grow as a person".
Fair points!

I am not an irritable person, but the ending of the whale Made me get up from my seat and yell "OH COME ON!" To the screen; Frustrating, corny , manipulative misery porn.
2012
More of a genre than a particular movie, but any and all video game movies that aren't the 90s shitshow M•rio movie or the 3 live action Sonic films. I'm talking live action because there have clearly been good video games based animated films like... well I can't think of any right off hand, but they surely exist.

Tar. Just, so boring.
I wanted to like it, but both my partner and myself were bored out of our minds watching it. Also what was that line… “I’m a BIPOC pangender”? Nobody has ever fucking talked like that.
End scene was fucking dope. That brought it up to a 6/10 for me.
