Movies everyone hates.

[Squarez]

I have a weird liking for stupid giant creature films. Even though if you look at them objectively they are all pretty much rubbish I still enjoyed things like Anaconda, Deep Blue Sea, Lake Placid, Ticks and Frankenfish (yeah I only watched it for the title, I won't lie). I know I'm not the only one, because of the obsession with megashark vs Giant Octopus, but a lot of people utterly hate those films which I think is odd because they never try to be anything clever so why expect anything more than harmless, over the top, poorly acted yet entertaining films?

You do realise that most of those films were made tongue firmly in cheek. They're taking the piss out of cheesy action/horror movies. Similar to Snakes on a Plane and the like.

It's okay to like them.

*Pats on shoulder*

the spoof movie series although Vampires Suck mysteriously made more money then Scott Pilgrim VS. The World

I didn't think that Terminator was very good. It's cheesy, fairly stupid, and the Terminator himself alternatingly looks like Chuck. E Cheese-level animatronics and stop-motion. Both of these are fine in the proper context, but not here.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

I think I might as well say it:
I liked the Star Wars prequels more.

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

(except for the stupid stupid STUPID fps part of the movie -_-).

I thought that was the best part!

 

[Aeriath]

Really? People think you are weird for that? I think that FFIX is the greatest! (Therefore you are awesome :3!)

[small]And FFIX was the best 3D FF.[/small]

I've met 3 hardcore FF fans, and they all have a hard on for FFVII. One of them thought that IX was boring for no specific reason, and the other 2 said it didn't feel like a Final Fantasy game. Bearing in mind I've only played 9 and 10, I thought it was awesome.

28 days later

I know, the ending is shit. But i like the beginning, untill the militairy part i find it a good movie. Ofcourse the third act is awfull but the first two acts are what a zombie movie should be in my mind.

I thought that 28 Days was well recieved? I actually enjoyed the third act (yay Christopher Eccleston), and I liked the fairly upbeat ending. I probably would have felt cheated if the alternate ending (Cillian Murphy dying in hospital) was used instead.

 

[Lilani]

Transformers. I have yet to find anyone who even remotely likes those movies.

 

[Apophis47_NZ]

I really didnt like "No Country For All Men". I don't understand how it won so much critical acclaim. I felt no attachment to the characters and it was so depressingly dull.

On the flip side, I really like the Mortal Kombat film. Its cheesy as hell, but has some cool special effects, action and an awesome soundtrack with Stabbing Westwood and Juno Reactor.

 

[Broderick]

(except for the stupid stupid STUPID fps part of the movie -_-).

I thought that was the best part!

LIES! ALL DIRTY, DECIETFUL, LIES!!!! meh to each his own...but it was way too cheesy...if I wanted to see all sorts of doom enemys die in first person, I would log onto steam.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

I hated Avatar. The Navi, Pocahontas copy, one. I mean the Last Airbender was shit as well, but most people think that's shit. Whereas Avatar was considered the movie experience of the century! Yeah, whatever.

EDIT: OH, and I also liked Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and the third act of the Phantom Menace.
And I really enjoyed 28 Days/Weeks later, I heard that a lot of people don't like them.

 

[The Night Shade]

I like almost any film that most people hate (the most common waterworld,last action hero or the Star Wars prequels

 

[Samnite]

Transformers. I have yet to find anyone who even remotely likes those movies.

You've found one. Loved 'em.

I have little love for the Harry Potter films - haven't seen the recent one, but the books were just much more gripping.

A lot of people apparently hate the latest Star Trek film, and for someone who is not and never will be a trekkie I really enjoyed the bugger.

 

[no oneder]

Everyone (and I do mean everyone) hates Spiderman 3. They hate it with a vengeance, but it is in my Top 5 movies of that year. Heck, Top 10 of all my life. I really don't know why people hate it so much.

Worst of all, my two favorite scenes in the movie are the vortex of hate of most people:

Spoiler

Emo Parker and the dance scene were the least of the problems this movie had. I didn't even mind it that much.

Spoiler: What I did have a problem with was...

The fact that they made Sandman uncle Ben's killer instead the guy in the first movie. This completely negates the whole guilt complex Peter had that always reminded him to take responsibility for his powers. Plus, it was just a really stupid twist that was only there to drive the plot.

That and too many villians and not having Danny Elfman and John Dykstra on the team.

Could it be that you're just Comic-Book-Guy-ing the movie instead?

 

[Leemaster777]

The Spirit.

That movie receives so much hate... but I actually really like it.

Maybe it's because I don't know anything about The Spirit comic books, or maybe I just went in with the right mindset, but I found it hilariously campy.

Really, Samuel Jackson's performance was funny as all hell, ESPECIALLY the nazi scene. Nearly fell out of my chair.

I also thought it just looked really good, the visuals really did look like a stylized comic book.

I CAN'T be the only person who liked it... can I?

 

[Wintermoot]

Transformers. I have yet to find anyone who even remotely likes those movies.

I met some kids that liked it

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

Watchmen seems to get a fair bit of undue criticism. I thought it was a fantastic film, but according to some it stays too close to the original while simultaneously deviating too far.

Theyre probably talking about the end and one or two, retrospectavely, plot holes but for the most part I agree. I thought it was the closest thing we've had to a faithful Alan Moore adaptation.

Im going to say Waterworld. I don't love it but I don't see why its so hated. Its an OK movie.

 

[EmzOLV]

I really, really, really liked Boat Trip with Cuba Gooding Jnr.
I don't think anyone else I know really likes that film, except my mum who only likes it because Cuba's in it and he's got a 'sweet face'.

And I also loved the Rocker. Apparently this bombed in cinemas, but has become a bit of an underground hit so I know people out there must <3 it as much as me. And who wouldn't love it? I've managed to use half of the memorable quotes from this film in my social life!

From greats such as "A lot of elevators play Celine Dion, doesn't make it right" to "Too loud is not in my vocabulary" followed by "Responsible? Yeah I'm responsible alright. For partying till my nuts catch fire!"

Epic.

 

[elbowlick]

I liked 007 quantum of solace.

So did I. I didn't think it was as good as Casino Royale, but it was far from bad.

I give you high five if you hate Roger Moore.

I also like Matrix Revolutions (even if I hate it when Keanu Reeves is replaced by someone with slightly more personality: a cg representation. Yes, bad joke was bad).

Edit: I can hate things, too? AWESOME! (Also, shut up about me already hating Roger Moore)
*pulls out list* I've been waiting for this day.
Rosemary's Baby- Not scary, not interesting, not even subtle.
Heavenly Creatures - I don't give a fuck SOOOO MUCH that I hate this movie. I didn't think that was possible: getting passion out of the lack thereof.
Suicide Circle - You can't build a movie on symbolism alone. It has to have coherent plot as well. Symbols should be used to compliment the story or the characters, not the other way around.
Batman - It was entertaining for the first half-hour, then it just got irritating. I don't really like Tim Burton, anyway.
Unbreakable - back to the passion from the lack thereof. Over-hype over about 4 years before I actually got to see it probably pissed me off the most, though.
X-Men - It had its moments (mostly early on with Wolverine) but was otherwise just interesting. X-Men 2 was better. And to be fair, I really don't like Marvel comics on the whole (I still saw the Iron Man movies and The Incredible Hulk, though.
The Descent - It started with some promise: the drama, the characters. Then it went into unscary horror movie mode. Boo for violent conflict resolution (what am I saying?) HOWEVER, I liked this one scene where you saw one of those buggers in the background, but the camera didn't focus on it. That was fairly effective and worked better in The Strangers (which I should have put in my movies that everyone hated/no one remembers but I actually liked category).

 

[Blubberburg]

Well i loved the movie 'Wanted' even though everyone seems to think its the stupidest most unrealistic movie ever because their bullet curving powers is based on a metaphor, whats depressing is my friends say this then go watch lord of the rings or harry potter which are both even in a world where magic is the norm unrealisticly stupid and bad and they both suffer from 'too much boring talking about nothing itis' maybe i just have a too short of attention span but that makes me dislike those movies and i couldnt watch a godfather movie without falling asleep

 

[enriel]

I can't think of anyone who enjoyed the Last Airbender. Whether or not they watched the show...it was just that fucking awful.

And The Happening for that matter.

But, while on the topic of Mr. Shyamalan, I actually really enjoyed Lady In The Water which seems to get as much shit as the other two mentioned.
