They hate that I loved: The Punisher, the one with Thomas Jane and John Travolta. Tom Jane -is- the Punisher to me, and when they used his voice in the over-the-top Punisher game it was even better.


As for ones critics loved and I not so much, there are quite a lot. Heath Ledger's Joker, Harry Potter, Twilight anything liked by critics and based off an Anne rice book. The list goes on, but most recently I would have to say Pixar's "Up". Now, I don't hate it, but I don't find it to be the best thing ever as some are claiming. It didn't need the 3D (3D glasses + regular glasses are a piss off and the never-before-mentioned $3 per pair 3d glasses on top of the ticket price for 4 people was an extra 12 bucks I didn't know I'd have to pay. That also leads into the constant bombardment of "please recycle your glasses" before and after the movie. Fuck that, I'll keep them because it looks like every kids movie and it's mum are going to be 3D now).

Sorry, I may have gone a tad off topic there. The 3D glasses added to my frustration, but the movie itself is schitzophrenic. It changes between target demographic too often with some parts (including the plot..) not being child friendly and other parts (like the 'talking' dogs) being a drag for adults seeing it with their kids. Pixar has got the formula correct in the past. Toy Story and The Incredibles were both fun-for-all-ages, and this one not so much. Not my least favourite from the studio, but not my favourite either.
