300 is dumb as gently caress but there really isn't all too much great about it. The matrix is a legit good movie you can go gently caress yourself.

the matrix is about a computer programmer that uses kung fu in a simulation of reality to liberate humanity from futuristic robots. that's the dumbest loving premise for a movie i've ever heard

this thread will be contentious because movies like starship troopers, the fifth element, etc are pulpy but i wouldnt call them dumb. but yet they are great. could some real film critic come in and help us define the terms?

Everything is stupid when you compartmentalize it and explain it in simple terms. The Big Lebowski is about a former hippie and a violent vietnam war vet who gently caress up

I define a movie as "dumb," if it has what's typically called The Idiot Plot. That is, the story relies on a character or characters doing things that are bewilderingly illogical or against their own interest. The iconic example is probably when the villain has the hero in his clutches and, instead of just shooting him, leaves him alone to die in an easily escaped death trap with just one or no guards remaining. This in no way means the movie is necessarily bad. Plenty of movies may be in terms of story downright boneheaded but perfectly enjoyable.

I would argue that a cabin in the woods was dumb but also kind of entertaining
