If this is an unpopular opinion, it shouldn't be. GTA is always getting in its own way, showing you fun toys and then arbitrarily withholding them from you. Giving you cool cars and then making you choose between having them and using them. Encouraging you to get into all-out gunfights and then making you play them slowly and methodically for fear of the tedium of having to redo a bunch of stuff. Creating a setting full of jokes and then giving you a protagonist without a sense of humour. Making cool things to interact with and forcing you to do them rather than letting you have fun on your own terms. GTA games always seem like a lot of fun until you actually play them.

I always get the feeling with GTA games that the designers spend years and years putting all this stuff into the game, and then about a week before release someone says "so, how does the player interact with all this?" and there's lots of awkward glances and shuffling feet as people realise they never quite got around to that bit.

Terrible movies are typically more entertaining that good movies. Low-budget, awful science fiction or horror movies are more fun to watch than current high-budget blockbusters.

Almost all movies that come out these days have ever come out are bland rehashes of old ideas that follow a set formula and rely on CGI and flashy visuals to wow audiences. Few of them are ever memorable. That or blatant nostalgia cash ins. I get that they make money but they're always dreadful.

Fixed to be true of all media at all times. There's never been a period where all films or books or whatever were brilliant individual works of art, after which we've lived in a dark age of remakes and rehashes. For as long as there's been mass media there's been cheap crap and barely-concealed remakes in vast quantities. Genre fiction pretty much exists because there's a huge market for books which hit the same story beats over and over with interchangeable archetypes substituting for characters, and that was just as true of Victorian penny dreadfuls as it is for modern Marvel films.

e: "I want to watch a crap film to laugh at it because that's more entertaining" is definitely a post-irony world thing, though.
