I'm sorry-- I never judge anyone by the taste in movies, and I know it's all subjective, but I can't take anyone seriously who finds The Third Man to be "boring," and rates it a mere 2.5 stars. Every noir movie you listed is excellent, despite you finding them "just okay" and were unable to tell them apart, but The Third Man is one of the greatest films ever made. Again, I know this is a subjective thing on some level, but some art transcends subjectivity, and someone who can't see greatness for what it is perhaps deserves to be judged for his taste in movies. I'm not the sort of person who says this sort of thing, but even I have a threshold, and this feels like someone visiting the Sistine Chapel, looking up, and saying "ehh, I don't get what all the fuss is."

Thanks for your feedback! I can't speak on the specific movie but our whole purpose of this series is to find the good in what some people consider "bad movies". We fully believe that all art is subjective and things can be good while still being flawed.
