A Movie that you hate that everybody else loves.

[TheMatt]

In a reverse of the thread by gado911, I want to know what movies you guys hated that everyone else loved.

I bloody hate Dumb & Dumber. I think it's the stupidest movie I have ever seen, yet EVERY one of my buddies says it's the greatest thing ever.

To a lesser extent Kill Bill Vol. 1. Don;t get me wrong, I liked it, but people were talking like it was the greatest movie EVER MADE and other crap like that. While I thought it was merely, not bad.

This ever happened to you? People you know/respect whose interests generally mesh with your own thinks some movie is awesome and you thought it was stupid.

This has been done before but I'll play along.

Toy Story.

Now people are going to burn me at the stake.

 

[Pezzer]

Search Bar mate.

umm... Almost every horror movie (not thrillers) in the last 8 years.

 

[DragonChi]

Serenity

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Search Bar mate.

Exactly.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Search Bar mate.

I haven't seen that one.

Toy Story.

Now people are going to burn me at the stake.

Yep, I'm warming up the fires now.


And now for the obvious...

Meh... I did, last one was back in Feb, thought it'd be pretty safe. Mostly cause gado's thread was doing so well and that one has been a million times.

Casino Royale. No matter how many people I know who say that it's the best Bond movie, it wasn't.

 

[TheMatt]

Oh god where to start on this one.

pine-apple express
ff7 advent children
tropic thunder

just to name a few.

In an exercise of irony I feel I have to point out that all those movies are awesome.

Dble post, sry, but it had to be said.

 

[AngloDoom]

Any Bond film. Most horror films. Any other those 'Scary Movie' variations, such as 'Epic Movie' or 'Disaster Movie'.

Save the fire for that, not our fellow Escapist!

And I agree with this, as well as those 3-D concerts (from disney).

Titanic - though i've never seen it in more than 5 minute bursts, I maintain that it is entirely shit.

Juno - No. Just no. "HEY KIDS, LOOK! THIS IS WHAT COOL IS!" Yeah, fuck you 'Diablo Cody' (even her nom de plume is irritating and ridiculous)

Slumdog Millionaire - Could do with being about 2 hours shorter, and it is graced with the most intrusive and horrifyingly bad soundtrack i've heard in a long long time.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Little Miss Sunshine, just didn't like it but I've heard it's absolutely amazing.

 

[damn12369]

HSM 1,2,3
Bangkok Dangerous

 

[ae86gamer]

300. I just didn't like it as much as other people did. That and all the High School Musical movies. They were terrible.

 

[Quackster42]
